Due to the exponential backoff a high number of retransmits only
makes sense if retransmit_limit is set. However, even with that there
was a problem.
We first calculated the timeout for the next retransmit and only then
compared that to the configured limit. Depending on the configured
base and timeout the calculation overflowed the range of uint32_t after
a relatively low number of retransmits (with the default values after 23)
causing the timeout to first get lower (on a high level) before constantly
resulting in 0 (with the default settings after 60 retransmits).
Since that's obviously lower than any configured limit, all remaining
retransmits were then sent without any delay, causing a lot of concurrent
messages if the number of retransmits was high.
This change determines the maximum number of retransmits until an
overflow occurs based on the configuration and defaults to UINT32_MAX
if that value is exceeded. Note that since the timeout is in milliseconds
UINT32_MAX equals nearly 50 days.
The calculation in task_manager_total_retransmit_timeout() uses a double
variable and the result is in seconds so the maximum number would be higher
there (with the default settings 1205). However, we want its result to
be based on the actual IKE retransmission behavior.
RFC 7296, section 2.21.3:
If a peer parsing a request notices that it is badly formatted (after
it has passed the message authentication code checks and window
checks) and it returns an INVALID_SYNTAX notification, then this
error notification is considered fatal in both peers, meaning that
the IKE SA is deleted without needing an explicit Delete payload.

This allows switching to probing mode if the client is on a public IP
and this is the active task and connectivity gets restored. We only add
NAT-D payloads if we are currently behind a NAT (to detect changed NAT
mappings), a MOBIKE update that might follow will add them in case we
move behind a NAT.
Since these are installed overlapping (like during a rekeying) we have to use
the same (unique) marks (and possibly reqid) that were used previously,
otherwise, the policy installation will fail.
Fixes#2610.
Instead of destroying the new task and keeping the existing one we
update any already queued task, so we don't loose any work (e.g. if a
DPD task is active and address update is queued and we'd actually like
to queue a roam task).
We do something similar in reestablish() for break-before-make reauth.
If we don't abort we'd be sending an IKE_AUTH without any TS payloads.
References #2430.
If this is the first message by the peer, i.e. we expect MID 0, the
message is not pre-processed in the task manager so we ignore it in the
task.
We also make sure to ignore such messages if the extension is disabled
and the peer already sent us one INFORMATIONAL, e.g. a DPD (we'd otherwise
consider the message with MID 0 as a retransmit).
If the responder never sent a message the expected MID is 0. While
the sent MID (M1) SHOULD be increased beyond the known value, it's
not necessarily the case.
Since M2 - 1 would then equal UINT_MAX setting that MID would get ignored
and while we'd return 0 in the notify we'd actually expect 1 afterwards.
If a responder is natted it will usually be a static NAT (unless it's a
mediated connection) in which case adding these notifies makes not much
sense (if the initiator's NAT mapping had changed the responder wouldn't
be able to reach it anyway). It's also problematic as some clients refuse
to respond to DPDs if they contain such notifies.
Fixes#2126.
Such a task is not initiated unless a certain time has passed. This
allows delaying certain tasks but avoids problems if we'd do this
via a scheduled job (e.g. if the IKE_SA is rekeyed in the meantime).
If the IKE_SA is rekeyed the delay of such tasks is reset when the
tasks are adopted i.e. they get executed immediately on the new IKE_SA.
This hasn't been implemented for IKEv1 yet.
This makes handling such IKE_SAs more specifically compared to keeping them
in state IKE_CONNECTING or IKE_ESTABLISHED (which we did when we lost a
collision - even triggering the ike_updown event), or using IKE_REKEYING for
them, which would also be ambiguous.
For instance, we can now reject anything but DELETES for such SAs.
We do these checks after the SA is fully established.
When establishing an SA the responder is always able to install the
CHILD_SA created with the IKE_SA before the initiator can do so.
During make-before-break reauthentication this could cause traffic sent
by the responder to get dropped if the installation of the SA on the
initiator is delayed e.g. by OCSP/CRL checks.
In particular, if the OCSP/CRL URIs are reachable via IPsec tunnel (e.g.
with rightsubnet=0.0.0.0/0) the initiator is unable to reach them during
make-before-break reauthentication as it wouldn't be able to decrypt the
response that the responder sends using the new CHILD_SA.
By delaying the revocation checks until the make-before-break
reauthentication is completed we avoid the problems described above.
Since this only affects reauthentication, not the original IKE_SA, and the
delay until the checks are performed is usually not that long this
doesn't impose much of a reduction in the overall security.
On failure the SA is deleted and reestablished as configured. The task
is activated after the REAUTH_COMPLETE task so a make-before-break reauth
is completed before the new SA might get torn down.
This fixes a DoS and potential remote code execution vulnerability that was
caused because the original payload type that was returned previously was
used to cast such payload objects to payloads of the indicated type (e.g.
when logging notify payloads with a payload type for the wrong IKE version).
Fixes CVE-2015-3991.
We are actually not in rekeying state, but just trigger a separate, new IKE_SA
as a replacement for the current IKE_SA. Switching to the REKEYING state
disables the invocation of both IKE and CHILD_SA updown hooks as initiator,
preventing the removal of any firewall rules.
Fixes#885.
The previous code allowed an attacker to slip in an IKE_SA_INIT with
both SPIs and MID 1 set when an IKE_AUTH would be expected instead.
References #816.
This reverts 8f727d8007 ("Clean up IKE_SA state if IKE_SA_INIT request
does not have message ID 0") because it allowed to close any IKE_SA by
sending an IKE_SA_INIT with an unexpected MID and both SPIs set to those
of that SA.
The next commit will prevent SAs from getting created for IKE_SA_INIT messages
with invalid MID.
Fixes#816.
For instance, if a DPD exchange is initiated by the gateway when a
mobile client is roaming and it then gets a new IP address and sends
an address update via MOBIKE, the DPD retransmits would still be sent
to the old address and the SA would eventually get closed.
