This allows NM more freedom in regards to how it wants to use the passed
device. In particular, if dnsmasq is used with NM as that binds to the
interface to send requests via VPN.
Installing the VIPs on lo avoids weird address removal/addition events
that happen for IPv6 on the physical interface (which would cause the VIP
to get incorrectly detected as non-VIP address and ignored during
deletion).
We could let NM install routes via XFRM interface, however, that causes
problems with e.g. the bypass-lan plugin (the throw routes in table 220
wouldn't have any effect). We could let it install regular routes in
the main table, but determining the physical interface would be tricky
as the routes installed by NM, also in the main table, would conflict.
So instead we let the kernel-netlink interface install routes via XFRM
interface and to avoid routing the IKE traffic that way, we set a mark
on the IKE socket and exclude traffic with that mark from our routing
table.
Since these might conflict with IKE traffic, this requires special care.
One option is to install bypass policies for the peer, which install
appropriate (throw) routes. However, that won't work if the traffic to
the gateway itself should be protected, in particular, for host-to-host
tunnels. So an alternative is to set a mark for the IKE socket and then
exclude that traffic from table 220 via the kernel-netlink plugin's
fwmark option.
The manager will allow charon-nm to create XFRM interfaces if supported
by the kernel instead of creating an unused dummy TUN interface.
The xfrmi tool is mostly obsolete nowadays as iproute2 supports creating
XFRM interfaces since 5.1.0 (2019-05). Older Debians don't ship that and
early versions didn't list the interface IDs. So there might still be
some uses for this tool.
NM doesn't terminate charon-nm after disconnecting, so the TUN device
previously stayed around even if no connection was established. This
might be a bit more what users expect.
As defined in RFC 9190, a "protected success indication" (0x00) is sent
from the server to the client over the TLS connection when using TLS 1.3.
The client responds with an empty EAP message, which is interpreted as
acknowledgement in our stack.
If we ever support session resumption with tunneled methods such as
EAP-TTLS, we'd have to send such an indication there too.
As noted in 121ac4b9e3 ("tls-crypto: Generate MSK for TLS 1.3"), the
calculation was only preliminary. It is now fixed according to RFC 9190
and draft-ietf-emu-tls-eap-types (soon to become an RFC, currently in
the RFC editor queue).

Adds support for a change in Linux kernel 6.2 that allows retrieving
the last use time of an SA from the SA itself instead of having to query
the policies.
Has been supported by libipsec for a long time (since 5.1.1). UDP encap
is already enforced via config, this just makes the flags the same as
in kernel-libipsec.
Since 6.2 the Linux kernel updates the last use time per SA. In
previous releases the attribute was only updated and reported for
specific outbound IPv6 SAs.
Using this reduces the number of kernel queries per CHILD_SA: for DPDs
from two policy queries (IN/FWD) to a single query of the inbound SA,
and for status reports the three policy queries (IN/FWD/OUT) can be
omitted and only the two SAs have to be queried. For NAT keepalives the
number of queries doesn't change but a policy query (OUT) is replaced by
a query for the outbound SA.
While we could use the existence of the attribute as indicator for its
support, we don't know this until we queried an SA. By using a version
check we can announce the feature from the start.
Currently supported by libipsec and PF_KEY on macOS (FreeBSD, like Linux,
reports the time the SA was first used in sadb_lifetime_usetime - it also
triggers rekeyings based on that, which Linux doesn't, it also triggers
them if an SA is never used).
Apparently not installed anymore in the latest build image. If it's
missing, we see errors like these:
configure.ac:38: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE
This was the order before 46a6b06282 ("openssl: Only announce ECDH
groups actually supported by OpenSSL") but that's not really the reason
for this change. It's related to the Android app, where we previously
didn't support these DH groups in BoringSSL and added the curve25519
plugin after the openssl plugin instead. This resulted in the same
order, i.e. ECDH groups before curve25519. With the switch to OpenSSL
and the mentioned commit, this changed and curve25519 was now the first
group that was proposed and used for the KE payload. Not really an
issue you'd think, however, there are apparently Zyxel Firewalls with
older firmware versions (some forum posts mentioned a fix in V5.31) that
can't handle KE payloads with DH groups > 21 (ecp521). So with
curve25519 (31) proposed in the KE payload, they silently dropped the
IKE_SA_INIT request and no connection could be established.
`public` is returned, but previously only if a trusted key was found.
We obviously don't want to return untrusted keys and since the reference
was correctly destroyed after determining the key type, this later caused
a double-free.

This adds support for the new "packet" hardware offload feature that's
added to the Linux kernel with 6.2. In this mode, the device handles
the complete framing of the ESP packet as well as the policy checks,
in addition to the crypto.
For the IKE sockets, port-based bypass policies are automatically
offloaded to devices that support it.
Closesstrongswan/strongswan#1462
While this uses the same mechanism, it's not necessary to explicitly
enable port_bypass, the regular socket policies work fine to bypass any
software policies.
Keep the kdf plugin because of AES-XCBC (and CAMELLIA-XCBC, which is now
supported due to OpenSSL). Other plugins like fips-prf, pubkey or pkcs8
were never actually used by the app. The random plugin might have been
necessary with early versions.
The build script requires the paths to the NDK and OpenSSL sources.
It runs the build in a Docker container, by default. But if the required
tools are installed on the system (currently jq, make and perl) it can
also be run directly on the system by defining NO_DOCKER.
A relatively recent version of the NDK is required (the pre-built
toolchains are required).
