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.
Adds support for handling IKEV2_MESSAGE_ID_SYNC notifies as responder
(usually the original initiator) as defined in RFC 6311. Some HA solutions
use these notifies to set the new IKEv2 message IDs after a failover event.
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.
Adds a new plugin that automatically installs and updates bypass policies
for locally attached subnets. This is useful for laptops etc. that are
used in different networks and prefer maintaining access to local hosts
(e.g. network printers or NAS) while connected to a VPN.
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.
Otherwise, we'd end up with an empty TS list, which is not valid.
Because end->tohost is set to !end->subnets in starter the removed branch was
never used.
