Checking specifically for /proc/net/pfkey is not ideal as af_key will
eventually be removed in Linux kernels. Support for KLIPS is long gone.
The detection also wasn't used for anything anymore (failures were just
ignored since the ports to BSD-based systems). And modprobing doesn't seem
to be necessary either (charon-systemd doesn't do that, for instance).
Usually, changing this won't be necessary (actually, some plugins
specifically use different DRGBs for RNG_WEAK in order to separate
the public nonces from random data used for e.g. DH).
But for experts with special plugin configurations this might be
more flexible and avoids code changes.
Also expose a method to call arbitrary commands, which allows calling not
yet wrapped commands. Exceptions are raised for all commands if the response
includes a negative "success" key (similar to how it's done in the Python
bindings).
Luckily, the type is only used once when generating payloads and there it
doesn't matter because the encoding rules are the same.
Closesstrongswan/strongswan#135.
The main fixes are
* the generation of fingerprints for RSA, ECDSA, and EdDSA
* the encoding of ECDSA private keys
* calculating p and q for RSA private keys
* deriving the public key for raw Ed25519 private keys
Also, instead of numeric literals for buffer lengths ASN.1 related
constants are used.
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.
