If a lot of QUICK_MODE tasks are queued and the other side
sends a DPD request, there is a good chance for timeouts.
Observed this in cases where other side is quite slow in responding
QUICK_MODE requests (e.g. Cisco ASA v8.x) and about 100 CHILD_SAs
are to be spawned.
Closesstrongswan/strongswan#115.
Checking for whitelisted functions in every backtrace is not very
efficient. And because OpenSSL 1.1 does no proper cleanup anymore until
the process is terminated there are now a lot more "leaks" to ignore.
For instance, in the openssl-ikev2/rw-cert scenario, just starting and
stopping the daemon (test vectors are checked) now causes 3594 whitelisted
leaks compared to the 849 before. This prolonged the shutdown of the
daemon on each guest in every scenario, amounting to multiple seconds of
additional runtime for every affected scenario. But even with this
patch there is still some overhead, compared to running the scenarios on
jessie.
SHA-384 is not supported but is selected by signature_schemes_for_key()
for keys between 3072 and 7680 bits.
Since this is only called for IKEv2 signature authentication we don't
even provide SHA-1 anymore. We always provide both schemes, though,
which is what pubkey-authenticator does too for RSA.
Older agents apparently just ignore the flags and always return a SHA-1
signature. If that's the case, charon.signature_authentication has to
be disabled.
On newer Android versions (8+) this does not seem to be necessary (adding
the onClick handler also sets "clickable" and that in turn seems to make
it focusable), however, for older releases it is (tested with 7.1.1
keyboard navigation just skips over the button). This was seen on a
Fire TV stick.
It looks like Android 9 incorrectly continues to use the regular DNS
servers after the blocking TUN device is replaced with the actual
interface. Setting DNS servers prevents that (since all traffic is
blocked, which ones doesn't really matter but local/loopback addresses
are rejected).
Interestingly, if the VPN server later does not assign any DNS servers, there
is no fallback to the non-VPN DNS servers for some reason (that's definitely
not as documented). This could potentially be a problem as we don't
offer an option to configure DNS servers in the VPN profile.
Neither issue is seen on older Android versions (only tested on 7.1.1).
Not sure when this happens exactly, in particular because the reported
stack traces look like this
java.lang.NullPointerException:
at org.strongswan.android.ui.VpnTileService.updateTile (VpnTileService.java:220)
at org.strongswan.android.ui.VpnTileService.onStartListening (VpnTileService.java:97)
at android.service.quicksettings.TileService$H.handleMessage (TileService.java:407)
which violates the API documentation for getQsTile(), which states:
This tile is only valid for updates between onStartListening() and
onStopListening().
But apparently that's not always the case. There have been two reports
of such a crash, both on Android 8.0 and on Xiaomi Mi 5/6 devices, so
maybe it's a bug in that particular image.
The previous code lost track of the selected profile IDs, but the
widgets maintained their state (i.e. the list item was still selected and the
edit button still enabled). Clicking the edit button then caused a crash when
trying to get the first item in the set.
