This allows for different signature schemes for IKE authentication and
trustchain verification.

An attacker could blindly send a message with invalid nonce data (or none
at all) to DoS an initiator if we just destroy the SA. To prevent this we
ignore the message and wait for the one by the correct responder.
If the SA got redirected this would otherwise cause a reauthentication with
the original gateway. Reestablishing the SA to the original gateway, if e.g.
the new gateway is not reachable makes sense though.
We handle this similar to how we do reestablishing IKE_SAs with all CHILD_SAs,
which also includes the one actively queued during IKE_AUTH.
To delete the old SA we use the recently added ike_reauth_complete task.
To prevent the creation of the CHILD_SA we set a condition on the
IKE_SA. We also schedule a delete job in case the client does not
terminate the IKE_SA (which is a SHOULD in RFC 5685).
According to the mode-config draft there is no prefix sent for
IPv6 addresses in IKEv1. We still accept 17 bytes long addresses for
backwards compatibility with older strongSwan releases.
Fixes#1304.
When charon rekeys a CHILD_SA after a soft limit expired, it is only
deleted after the hard limit is reached. In case of packet/byte limits
this may not be the case for a long time since the packets/bytes are
usually sent using the new SA. This may result in a very large number of
stale CHILD_SAs and kernel states. With enough connections configured this
will ultimately exhaust the memory of the system.
This patch adds a strongswan.conf setting that, if enabled, causes the old
CHILD_SA to be deleted by the initiator after a successful rekeying.
Enabling this setting might create problems with implementations that
continue to use rekeyed SAs (e.g. if the DELETE notify is lost).
If it was necessary to pass the local certificates we could probably
clone the config (but we don't do that either when later looking for the
key to actually authenticate).
Passing auth adds the same subject cert to the config over and over
again (I guess we could also try to prevent that by searching for
duplicates).
If there is no path to the other peer there is no point in trying to
send a NAT keepalive.
If the condition changes back and forth within the keepalive interval there
is a chance that multiple jobs get queued.
This could be helpful when debugging deadlocks that manifest around
wait_for_entry(), as it helps identifying other involved threads (the
thread object is seen in the thread_main() call in each thread's backtrace).
With IKEv1 we have to reuse IKE_SAs as otherwise the responder might
detect the new SA as reauthentication and will "adopt" the CHILD_SAs of
the original IKE_SA, while the initiator will not do so. This could
cause CHILD_SA rekeying to fail later.
Fixes#1236.
When handling a rekey collision we might have to delete an already
installed redundant CHILD_SA (or expect the other peer to do so).
We don't want to trigger updown events for these as neither do we do
so for successfully rekeyed CHILD_SAs.
Fixes#853.
If the retransmit of an initial message is processed concurrently with the
original message it might not have been handled as intended as the
thread processing the retransmit might not have seen the correct value
of entry->processing set by the thread handling the original request.
For IKEv1, i.e. without proper message IDs, there might still be races e.g.
when receiving a retransmit of the initial IKE message while processing the
initiator's second request.
Fixes#1269.
