Instead of assuming passwords are simply ASCII-encoded we now assume they are
provided UTF-8-encoded, which is quite likely nowadays. The UTF-8 byte
sequences are not validated, however, only valid code points are encoded
as UTF-16LE.
Fixes#3014.
Previously, the initiator would install the SA in transport mode if the
peer sent back the USE_TRANSPORT_MODE notify, even if that was not
requested originally.
The only messages that are generally sent encrypted but could be sent
unencrypted are INFORMATIONALs (currently only used for IKEv1 and ME
connectivity checks). This should prevent issues if the keymat_t behaves
incorrectly and does not return an aead_t when it actually should.
Might be useful for users of other daemons too. Note that compared to the
previous implementation in charon-tkm, the mask/label are applied in
network order.
Closesstrongswan/strongswan#134.
Previously, attributes in an incorrectly sent CFG_REPLY would still be passed
to attribute handlers. This does not prevent handlers from receiving
unrequested attributes if they requested at least one other.
This adds support for XFRM interfaces, which replace VTI devices and are
available with 4.19+ Linux kernels.
IPsec SAs and policies are associated with such interfaces via interface
IDs that can be configured on the CHILD_SA-level (dynamic IDs may
optionally be allocated for each instance and even direction) or on the
IKE_SA-level (again, dynamic IDs may be optionally allocated per IKE_SA).
IDs on an IKE_SA are inherited by all CHILD_SAs created under it, unless
the child configuration overrides them.
The effect the interface ID has on policies is similar to that of marks,
i.e. they won't match packets unless they are routed via interface with
matching interface ID. So it's possible to negotiate e.g. 0.0.0.0/0 as
traffic selector on both sides and then control the affected traffic via
routes/firewall.
It's possible to use separate interfaces for in- and outbound traffic (or
only use an interface in one direction and regular policies in the other).
Since iproute2 does not yet support XFRM interfaces, a small utility is
provided that allows creating and listing XFRM interfaces.
Interfaces may be created dynamically via updown/vici scripts or
statically (before or after establishing the SAs). Routes must be added
manually as needed (the daemon will not install any routes for outbound
policies with an interface ID).
When moving XFRM interfaces to other network namespaces they retain access
to the SAs and policies created in the original namespace, which allows
providing IPsec tunnels for processes in other network namespaces without
giving them access to the IPsec keys or IKE credentials.
Fixes#2845.
This is mainly to see what's necessary to create them (in case we
integrate this into the daemon) and to experiment in our testing
environment without having to add a patched version of iproute2 (the
4.20.0 version in stretch-backports doesn't support XFRM interfaces
yet). The regular version of iproute2 can be used for other operations
with these interfaces (delete, up, addrs etc.).
