While it is currently unclear why it happens, canceling threads waiting in the
new_query condvar does not work as expected. The behavior is not fully
reproducible: Either cancel(), join() or destroying the condvar hangs.
The issue has been seen in the http-fetcher unit tests, where the stream service
triggers the use of the resolver for "localhost" hosts. It is reproducible with
any cleanup following a host_create_from_dns() use on a Ubuntu 14.04 x64 system.
Further, the issue is related to the use of libunwind, as only builds with
--enable-unwind-backtraces are affected.
As we broadcast() the new_query condvar before destruction, a hard cancel() of
these threads is actually not required. Instead we let these threads clean up
themselves after receiving the condvar signal.
Ubuntu 12.04 does not seem to provide a sane pkg-config for libiptc or libip4tc.
The monolithic build fails due to missing symbols, so disable it until we have
a newer Ubuntu release.
Unloading libraries calls any library constructor/destructor functions. Some
libraries can't handle that in our excessive unit test use. GnuTLS leaks
a /dev/urandom file descriptor, letting unit tests fail with arbitrary
out-of-resources errors.
Implement a forecast plugin that supports forwarding of multi- and broadcast
messages between a LAN and clients or between connected clients. It uses
IPsec policy marks to send packets over multiple identical multi- and broadcast
policies.
Introduce a connmark plugin that uses Netfilter conntracks mark to select the
correct return-path SAs for client-initiated connections. This can be used
to distinguish transport mode clients behind the same NAT router.
Fixes#365.
In this test two hosts establish a transport mode connection from behind
moon. sun uses the connmark plugin to distinguish the flows.
This is an example that shows how one can terminate L2TP/IPsec connections
from two hosts behind the same NAT. For simplification of the test, we use
an SSH connection instead, but this works for any connection initiated flow
that conntrack can track.
Currently supports transport mode connections using IPv4 only, and requires
a unique mark configured on the connection.
To select the correct outbound SA when multiple connections match (i.e.
multiple peers connected from the same IP address / NAT router) marks must be
configured. This mark should usually be unique, which can be configured in
ipsec.conf using mark=0xffffffff.
The plugin inserts CONNMARK netfilter target rules: Any peer-initiated flow
is tagged with the assigned mark as connmark. On the return path, the mark
gets restored from the conntrack entry to select the correct outbound SA.
As with other configuration backends, XAuth is activated with a two round
client authentication using pubkey and xauth. In load-tester, this is configured
with initiator_auth=pubkey|xauth.
Fixes#835.
As we now reuse the reqid for identical SAs, the behavior changes for
transport connections to multiple peers behind the same NAT. Instead of
rejecting the SA, we now have two valid SAs active. For the reverse path,
however, sun sends traffic always over the newer SA, resembling the behavior
before we introduced explicit SA conflicts for different reqids.
With make-before-break IKEv2 re-authentication, virtual IP addresses must be
assigned overlapping to the same peer. With the remote IKE address, the backend
can detect re-authentication attempts by comparing the remote host address and
port. This allows proper reassignment of the virtual IP if it is re-requested.
This change removes the mem-pool.reassign_online option, as it is obsolete now.
IPs get automatically reassigned if a peer re-requests the same address, and
additionally connects from the same address and port.
Migrates the attribute framework and associated plugins from libhydra back
to libcharon. libcharon is the only user of this framework since pluto is gone.
With these changes, we can pass the full IKE_SA state to attribute providers
and handlers, bringing more flexibility to these plugins.
While it has some tests that we don't directly cover with the new unit tests,
most of them require special infrastructure and therefore have not been used
for a long time.
