The clone() method was missing a branch when there is an encoded chunk
of length 0 that still needed to be cloned. Otherwise, the destruction
of the clone frees the same pointer that the original owns.
This double free was found with an improved `fuzz_ids` fuzz harness and
a two byte input to create an identification from "@#" or [0x40, 0x23].
It can also be triggered with `<type>:#` e.g. `dns:#`.
One of the problematic constructors is used to parse EAP-Identities,
which are cloned before storing them in the auth-cfg. So this can be
triggered by an unauthenticated attacker.
Note that while the length check was already added with 418dbd6243
("cloning %any ID without zero-byte memleak") and identities that trigger
this can be created since 86ab5636c2 ("support for @#hex ID_KEY_ID
identification_t"), it was the referenced commit that made the length
check problematic.

It seems that 18a94525a7 was a bit hasty. Apparently, it's still the
case that there were reports (at least in some test scenarios). Luckily,
the new facility added in the previous commit allows us to whitelist
these allocations without having to ignore all unknown memory.
With glibc, there is an issue if TZ is not set, which causes a change
of the internally cached TZ value. Because the original value was
cached before LD was active via `init_static_allocations()`, the memory
is freed as unknown memory later. This change allows whitelisting
a function that might free such memory (tzset() only for now).
This prevents an OOB read if the AT_RAND data is shorter than the
expected 16 bytes.
The check for AT_AUTN is changed for consistency even though its length
is already enforced by the parser (for AT_RAND it isn't because EAP-SIM
expects a length of either 32 or 48 bytes).

When resolving the remote host, we first determine if a particular
address family is preferred locally. With `0.0.0.0` that's IPv4, with
`%any` that's not the case. So we use the latter to allow resolvers
to return an IPv6 address.
This allows clients to distinguish between algorithms of different
transform types more easily. The names are similar to those used
when returning the algorithms of the selected proposal in list-sas (except
for `ke` instead of `dh` and `sn` instead of `esn` to reflect the
latest IETF/IANA changes).
Because the `derived` flag was not reset (it's set after the initial
IKE_SA_INIT exchange), no keys would get derived when sending
IKE_INTERMEDIATE during the next try. As there is then no `aead_t`
available, encrypting the message would fail and the initiation would
remain stuck.

While the validity of a pre-trusted certificate for which an issuer is
found is enforced via `check_certificate()`, the validity of such a
certificate in an incomplete trust chain, or rather that of the last
certificate in such a chain, was not enforced. This fixes that
inconsistency.
In a targeted request, the software ID is provided by the IMV. If no
database is used (which is not the recommended setup), the ID is not
validated and could potentially contain special characters. With the
previous command string construction and use of popen(), which runs a
shell, that could potentially allow running arbitrary commands.
Unlike `struct ifreq` that's used for IPv4, `struct in6_ifreq` contains
not a `struct sockaddr[_in6]` but only a `struct in6_addr`.
Setting addresses like this is currently not used on Linux (the feature
was added to install virtual IPs on FreeBSD/macOS).

Keys loaded via generic loader (KEY_ANY) or from a PKCS#12 file (or an
engine) don't go through the openssl_ec_private_key_load() constructor
that checks for explicit parameters.
This was broken since the Botan 3 release, which removed the EMSA1
class and the define. The "EMSA1()" wrapper when signing/verifying is
technically not necessary anymore since then (it's deprecated but still
accepted). But to still support Botan 2, we keep that in for now.
The missing parentheses around the additions when calculating optlen
in the previous code can cause an out-of-bound read of up to 228 bytes
if no DHCP_OPTEND is found in the message (the calculation basically
evaluated to `- 20 + 8 + 240`).
Since the buffer for the received packet (via pf_handler_t) is located
on the stack, this shouldn't cause much of an issue in practice.
The leak detective doesn't wrap this function and calling the original
causes unknown memory frees and even segmentation faults. This is now
triggered with OpenSSL 4 as the implementation of ECP256 uses
OPENSSL_aligned_alloc_array().
Setting a custom memory functions forces OpenSSL to implement aligned
allocations internally, using the registered allocation function.
Using the return value of i2d_* directly as input of chunk_alloc imposes
the risk of creating an invalid chunk when the return value of the i2d_*
function is -1. The openssl_i2chunk macro is meant to avoid this.

This fixes a potential crash due to a null-pointer dereference if rsadp()
returns NULL (e.g. with an all-zero ciphertext).
And it also implements the PKCS#1 v1.5 decryption padding check in
constant time.
The timing leak caused by the previous implementation was measured at
~17.5 μs at 3 GHz, which could allow a Bleichenbacher-like attack in
LAN environments. However, because of how RSA encryption is used in
strongSwan, this is not that much of an issue in practice. The mechanism
is only used for two use cases. One is SCEP/EST via PKCS#7 enveloped
data. Fortunately, this can not be triggered in significant numbers by
an attacker. The other use case is TLS as used by EAP methods (EAP-TLS,
EAP-PEAP/TTLS) during the authentication. While the cipher suites that
use RSA encryption are still enabled by default, the TLS messages are
wrapped in EAP and encrypted by IKE, making any kind of attack difficult.
Note that the gmp plugin isn't enabled anymore by default. And even
before that, most setups had the openssl plugin enabled, which has
priority over the gmp plugin. So it's unlikely the plugin was used in
practice.

If the extension doesn't contain a multiple of two bytes, the previous
code would get stuck in an infinite loop as `remaining()` continued to
return TRUE while `read_uint16()` failed to parse a value. Initiating
several connections with such an extension allows a DoS attack as no
threads would eventually be available to handle packets/events.

There is an issue similar to the one fixed with the previous commit when
using directoryName (DN) name constraints. Some RDNs have to be matched
in a case-insensitive manner, which we e.g. do in
`identification.c::rdn_equals`. By not doing it for name constraints,
a malicious intermediate CA could evade an excluded name constraint
just by modifying the case in such an RDN.
While we could use the mentioned function in `dn_matches`, this doesn't
properly fix the problem because the function is basically too strict.
Especially in regards to RDNs of type UTF8String, which are only compared
binary. To match these properly, we'd have to implement the string
preparation described in RFC 5280, section 7.1 and the referenced RFCs.
Until that's the case, we reject excluded name constraints of type
directoryName as we are unable to enforce them.
Fixes: a2b340764f ("Implemented NameConstraint matching in constraints plugin")
Fixes: CVE-2026-35331
The case is generally ignored when matching such identities. So this is
an issue with excluded name constraints where a malicious intermediate
CA could evade the constraints by issuing certificates with names that
just modify the case (e.g. strongSwan.org instead strongswan.org).
Note that it's likely that permitted name constraints are preferred over
excluded name constraints as it might be difficult to come up with a
conclusive list of names to exclude.

This prevents a crash due to a null-pointer dereference when processing
an empty ECDH public key.
The previous length check only applied in the `!ec` case, so in the `ec`
case, the access to `pub.ptr[0]` was unguarded. If a crafted TLS
record ends with an empty ClientKeyExchange, then `read_data8` sets
`pub` to `chunk_empty`, causing a null-pointer dereference.
Note that if some data follows the empty ClientKeyExchange, this just
causes a 1-byte out-of-bounds read that has no further effect as the
TLS session is aborted immediately. Either because the read value
doesn't equal TLS_ANSI_UNCOMPRESSED or because the empty public key
is rejected by `set_public_key()`.
The referenced commit that introduced the pointer access, added the
check for `pub.len` specifically to the `!ec` case, while the pointer
access was initially unconditional (probably because the code was just
copied from `tls_peer.c` which processes ECDH public keys in a separate
function, so there was no `ec` flag). The latter was fixed a couple of
days later with 7b3c01845f ("Read the compression type byte for EC
groups, only"). However, that commit didn't change the length check.
Anyway, it's possible that the original intention was to add the check
to the `ec` case on the previous line, or that there was some confusion
with the parenthesis and something like the current code was intended to
begin with.

attribute_enumerate() accepts RADIUS attributes whose length byte is
smaller than sizeof(rattr_t) (2). For length == 0, the iterator never
advances and traps callers — including verify() — in a non-advancing
loop. For length == 1, misaligned packed-struct reads occur.
Add a separate check for this->next->length < sizeof(rattr_t) after
the existing truncation guard. This mirrors radius_message_parse(),
which already distinguishes invalid length from truncation.

parse_attributes() accepts hdr->length == 0 in the AT_ENCR_DATA,
AT_RAND, AT_PADDING, default branches. The code then subtracts the
fixed attribute header size from the encoded length, which underflows
and exposes a wrapped payload length to later code. In particular,
for the cases where add_attribute() is called, this causes a heap-based
buffer overflow (a buffer of 12 bytes is allocated to which the wrapped
length is written). For AT_PADDING, the underflow is irrelevant as
add_attribute() is not called. Instead, this results in an infinite loop.
Reject zero-length attributes before subtracting the attribute header.
