After an interface disappeared we can't remove the policies correctly as
the name doesn't resolve to the previous index anymore.
And making the policies so specific might not provide that much benefit.
To handle the interfaces on the policies correctly would require some
changes to the child-cfg, kernel-interface etc. so they'd take interface
indices directly so we could target the policies correctly even if an
interface disappeared (or reappeared and got a new index).
These options disable validation as such, e.g. even from cached CRLs, not
only the fetching. Also made the plugin's validate() implementation a
no-op if both options are disabled.
The SA ID (src, dst, proto, spi) is unique on ingress.
As such, explicit inbound marking is not needed to match an SA.
On the other hand, requiring inbound SAs to use marks forces the
installation of a mechanism for marking traffic (e.g. iptables) based
on some criteria.
Defining the criteria becomes complicated, for example when required to
support multiple SAs from the same src, especially when traffic is UDP
encapsulated.
This commit removes the assignment of the child_sa mark_in to the inbound SA.
Policies can be arbitrated by existing means - e.g, via netfilter policy
matching or using VTI interfaces - without the need to classify the flows prior
to state matching.
Since the reqid allocator regards the mark value, there is no risk of matching
the wrong policy.
And as explicit marking was required for route-based VPN to work before this
change, it should not cause regressions in existing setups.
Closesstrongswan/strongswan#59.
For table dumps the kernel accepts RTA_PREFSRC to filter the routes, which is
what we do when doing userspace route calculations. For kernel-based route
lookups, however, the RTA_PREFSRC attribute is ignored and we must specify
RTA_SRC for policy based route lookups.
For gateways with many connections, installing routes is often disabled,
as we can use a static route configuration to achieve proper routing with
a single rule. If this is the case, there is no need to dump all routes and
do userspace route lookups, as there is no need to exclude routes we installed
ourself.
Doing kernel-based route lookups is not only faster with may routes, but also
can use the full power of Linux policy based routing; something we can hardly
rebuild in userspace when calculating routes.
When using vici over RPyC and its (awesome) splitbrain, encoding and decoding
strings fails in vici, most likely because of the Monkey-Patch magic splitbrain
uses.
When specifying the implicit UTF-8 as encoding scheme explicitly, Python uses
the correct method to encode/decode the string, making vici useable in
splitbrain contexts.
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.
While trap and regular policies now often look the same (mainly because
reqids are kept constant) trap policies still need to have a lower priority
than regular policies to handle unroute/route correctly if e.g. IPComp
is used or the mode changes. But if we use a completely different
priority range that's lower than that of regular policies it is not possible
to install overlapping trap policies. By differentiating trap from
regular policies via the priority's LSB this issue is avoided while
still maintaining the proper ordering of trap and regular policies.
Fixes#1243.
If charon.prefer_configured_proposals is disabled select() is called on
the received proposal. This incorrectly set the SPI to 0 as the
configured proposal has no SPI set.
Fixes#2190.
The Optimistic Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) seems to fail in some
cases (`dadfailed` in `ip addr`) rendering the virtual IP address unusable.
Fixes#2183.
This implements rule 6 of RFC 6724 using the default priority table,
so that e.g. global addresses are preferred over ULAs (which also have
global scope) when the destination is a global address.
Fixes#2138.
By default, the kernel incorrectly uses an 8 byte alignment, which is
mandatory for IPv6 but prohibited for IPv4. For many algorithms this
doesn't matter but that's not the case for HMAC_SHA2_256_128.
Since 2.6.39 the kernel can be explicitly configured to use a 4 byte
alignment.
