4 | - Added algorithm selection to charon: New default algorithms for |
5 | ike=aes128-sha-modp2048, as both daemons support it. The default | |
6 | for IPsec SAs is now esp=aes128-sha,3des-md5. charon handles | |
7 | the ike/esp parameter the same way as pluto. As this syntax does | |
8 | not allow specification of a pseudo random function, the same | |
9 | algorithm as for integrity is used (currently sha/md5). Supported | |
10 | algorithms for IKE: | |
11 | Encryption: aes128, aes192, aes256 | |
12 | Integrity/PRF: md5, sha (using hmac) | |
13 | DH-Groups: modp768, 1024, 1536, 2048, 4096, 8192 | |
14 | and for ESP: | |
15 | Encryption: aes128, aes192, aes256, 3des, blowfish128, | |
16 | blowfish192, blowfish256 | |
17 | Integrity: md5, sha1 | |
18 | More IKE encryption algorithms will come after porting libcrypto into | |
19 | libstrongswan. | |

c15c3d4b MW |
21 | - initial support for rekeying CHILD_SAs using IKEv2. Currently no |
22 | perfect forward secrecy is used. The rekeying parameters rekey, | |
22ff6f57 | 23 | rekeymargin, rekeyfuzz and keylife from ipsec.conf are now supported |
c15c3d4b MW |
24 | when using IKEv2. WARNING: charon currently is unable to handle |
25 | simultaneous rekeying. To avoid such a situation, use a large | |
26 | rekeyfuzz, or even better, set rekey=no on one peer. | |
22ff6f57 | 27 | |
7e81e975 MW |
28 | - support for host2host, net2net, host2net (roadwarrior) tunnels |
29 | using predefined RSA certificates (see uml scenarios for | |
30 | configuration examples). | |
31 | ||
f2c2d395 MW |
32 | - new build environment featuring autotools. Features such |
33 | as HTTP, LDAP and smartcard support may be enabled using | |
34 | the ./configure script. Changing install directories | |
35 | is possible, too. See ./configure --help for more details. | |
36 | ||
22ff6f57 MW |
37 | - better integration of charon with ipsec starter, which allows |
38 | (almost) transparent operation with both daemons. charon | |
39 | handles ipsec commands up, down, status, statusall, listall, | |
40 | listcerts and allows proper load, reload and delete of connections | |
41 | via ipsec starter. | |
42 | ||
9820c0e2 MW |
43 | strongswan-4.0.0 |
44 | ---------------- | |
45 | ||
46 | - initial support of the IKEv2 protocol. Connections in | |
47 | ipsec.conf designated by keyexchange=ikev2 are negotiated | |
48 | by the new IKEv2 charon keying daemon whereas those marked | |
49 | by keyexchange=ikev1 or the default keyexchange=ike are | |
50 | handled thy the IKEv1 pluto keying daemon. Currently only | |
51 | a limited subset of functions are available with IKEv2 | |
52 | (Default AES encryption, authentication based on locally | |
53 | imported X.509 certificates, unencrypted private RSA keys | |
54 | in PKCS#1 file format, limited functionality of the ipsec | |
55 | status command). | |
56 | ||
57 | ||

58 | strongswan-2.7.0 |
59 | ---------------- | |
60 | ||
61 | - the dynamic iptables rules from the _updown_x509 template | |
62 | for KLIPS and the _updown_policy template for NETKEY have | |
63 | been merged into the default _updown script. The existing | |
64 | left|rightfirewall keyword causes the automatic insertion | |
65 | and deletion of ACCEPT rules for tunneled traffic upon | |
66 | the successful setup and teardown of an IPsec SA, respectively. | |
67 | left|rightfirwall can be used with KLIPS under any Linux 2.4 | |
68 | kernel or with NETKEY under a Linux kernel version >= 2.6.16 | |
69 | in conjuction with iptables >= 1.3.5. For NETKEY under a Linux | |
70 | kernel version < 2.6.16 which does not support IPsec policy | |
71 | matching yet, please continue to use a copy of the _updown_espmark | |
72 | template loaded via the left|rightupdown keyword. | |
73 | ||
74 | - a new left|righthostaccess keyword has been introduced which | |
75 | can be used in conjunction with left|rightfirewall and the | |
76 | default _updown script. By default leftfirewall=yes inserts | |
77 | a bi-directional iptables FORWARD rule for a local client network | |
78 | with a netmask different from 255.255.255.255 (single host). | |
79 | This does not allow to access the VPN gateway host via its | |
80 | internal network interface which is part of the client subnet | |
81 | because an iptables INPUT and OUTPUT rule would be required. | |
82 | lefthostaccess=yes will cause this additional ACCEPT rules to | |
83 | be inserted. | |
84 | ||
85 | - mixed PSK|RSA roadwarriors are now supported. The ISAKMP proposal | |
86 | payload is preparsed in order to find out whether the roadwarrior | |
87 | requests PSK or RSA so that a matching connection candidate can | |
88 | be found. | |
89 | ||
90 | ||
91 | strongswan-2.6.4 | |
92 | ---------------- | |
93 | ||
94 | - the new _updown_policy template allows ipsec policy based | |
95 | iptables firewall rules. Required are iptables version | |
96 | >= 1.3.5 and linux kernel >= 2.6.16. This script obsoletes | |
97 | the _updown_espmark template, so that no INPUT mangle rules | |
98 | are required any more. | |
99 | ||
100 | - added support of DPD restart mode | |
101 | ||
102 | - ipsec starter now allows the use of wildcards in include | |
103 | statements as e.g. in "include /etc/my_ipsec/*.conf". | |
104 | Patch courtesy of Matthias Haas. | |
105 | ||
106 | - the Netscape OID 'employeeNumber' is now recognized and can be | |
107 | used as a Relative Distinguished Name in certificates. | |
108 | ||
109 | ||
110 | strongswan-2.6.3 | |
111 | ---------------- | |
112 | ||
113 | - /etc/init.d/ipsec or /etc/rc.d/ipsec is now a copy of the ipsec | |
114 | command and not of ipsec setup any more. | |
115 | ||
116 | - ipsec starter now supports AH authentication in conjunction with | |
117 | ESP encryption. AH authentication is configured in ipsec.conf | |
118 | via the auth=ah parameter. | |
119 | ||
120 | - The command ipsec scencrypt|scdecrypt <args> is now an alias for | |
121 | ipsec whack --scencrypt|scdecrypt <args>. | |
122 | ||
123 | - get_sa_info() now determines for the native netkey IPsec stack | |
124 | the exact time of the last use of an active eroute. This information | |
125 | is used by the Dead Peer Detection algorithm and is also displayed by | |
126 | the ipsec status command. | |
127 | ||
128 | ||
129 | strongswan-2.6.2 | |
130 | ---------------- | |
131 | ||
132 | - running under the native Linux 2.6 IPsec stack, the function | |
133 | get_sa_info() is called by ipsec auto --status to display the current | |
134 | number of transmitted bytes per IPsec SA. | |
135 | ||
136 | - get_sa_info() is also used by the Dead Peer Detection process to detect | |
137 | recent ESP activity. If ESP traffic was received from the peer within | |
138 | the last dpd_delay interval then no R_Y_THERE notification must be sent. | |
139 | ||
140 | - strongSwan now supports the Relative Distinguished Name "unstructuredName" | |
141 | in ID_DER_ASN1_DN identities. The following notations are possible: | |
142 | ||
143 | rightid="unstructuredName=John Doe" | |
144 | rightid="UN=John Doe" | |
145 | ||
146 | - fixed a long-standing bug which caused PSK-based roadwarrior connections | |
147 | to segfault in the function id.c:same_id() called by keys.c:get_secret() | |
148 | if an FQDN, USER_FQDN, or Key ID was defined, as in the following example. | |
149 | ||
150 | conn rw | |
151 | right=%any | |
152 | rightid=@foo.bar | |
153 | authby=secret | |
154 | ||
155 | - the ipsec command now supports most ipsec auto commands (e.g. ipsec listall). | |
156 | ||
157 | - ipsec starter didn't set host_addr and client.addr ports in whack msg. | |
158 | ||
159 | - in order to guarantee backwards-compatibility with the script-based | |
160 | auto function (e.g. auto --replace), the ipsec starter scripts stores | |
161 | the defaultroute information in the temporary file /var/run/ipsec.info. | |
162 | ||
163 | - The compile-time option USE_XAUTH_VID enables the sending of the XAUTH | |
164 | Vendor ID which is expected by Cisco PIX 7 boxes that act as IKE Mode Config | |
165 | servers. | |
166 | ||
167 | - the ipsec starter now also recognizes the parameters authby=never and | |
168 | type=passthrough|pass|drop|reject. | |
169 | ||
170 | ||
171 | strongswan-2.6.1 | |
172 | ---------------- | |
173 | ||
174 | - ipsec starter now supports the also parameter which allows | |
175 | a modular structure of the connection definitions. Thus | |
176 | "ipsec start" is now ready to replace "ipsec setup". | |
177 | ||
178 | ||
179 | strongswan-2.6.0 | |
180 | ---------------- | |
181 | ||
182 | - Mathieu Lafon's popular ipsec starter tool has been added to the | |
183 | strongSwan distribution. Many thanks go to Stephan Scholz from astaro | |
184 | for his integration work. ipsec starter is a C program which is going | |
185 | to replace the various shell and awk starter scripts (setup, _plutoload, | |
186 | _plutostart, _realsetup, _startklips, _confread, and auto). Since | |
187 | ipsec.conf is now parsed only once, the starting of multiple tunnels is | |
188 | accelerated tremedously. | |
189 | ||
190 | - Added support of %defaultroute to the ipsec starter. If the IP address | |
191 | changes, a HUP signal to the ipsec starter will automatically | |
192 | reload pluto's connections. | |
193 | ||
194 | - moved most compile time configurations from pluto/Makefile to | |
195 | Makefile.inc by defining the options USE_LIBCURL, USE_LDAP, | |
196 | USE_SMARTCARD, and USE_NAT_TRAVERSAL_TRANSPORT_MODE. | |
197 | ||
198 | - removed the ipsec verify and ipsec newhostkey commands | |
199 | ||
200 | - fixed some 64-bit issues in formatted print statements | |
201 | ||
202 | - The scepclient functionality implementing the Simple Certificate | |
203 | Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) is nearly complete but hasn't been | |
204 | documented yet. | |
205 | ||
206 | ||
207 | strongswan-2.5.7 | |
208 | ---------------- | |
209 | ||
210 | - CA certicates are now automatically loaded from a smartcard | |
211 | or USB crypto token and appear in the ipsec auto --listcacerts | |
212 | listing. | |
213 | ||
214 | ||
215 | strongswan-2.5.6 | |
216 | ---------------- | |
217 | ||
218 | - when using "ipsec whack --scencrypt <data>" with a PKCS#11 | |
219 | library that does not support the C_Encrypt() Cryptoki | |
220 | function (e.g. OpenSC), the RSA encryption is done in | |
221 | software using the public key fetched from the smartcard. | |
222 | ||
223 | - The scepclient function now allows to define the | |
224 | validity of a self-signed certificate using the --days, | |
225 | --startdate, and --enddate options. The default validity | |
226 | has been changed from one year to five years. | |
227 | ||
228 | ||
229 | strongswan-2.5.5 | |
230 | ---------------- | |
231 | ||
232 | - the config setup parameter pkcs11proxy=yes opens pluto's PKCS#11 | |
233 | interface to other applications for RSA encryption and decryption | |
234 | via the whack interface. Notation: | |
235 | ||
236 | ipsec whack --scencrypt <data> | |
237 | [--inbase 16|hex|64|base64|256|text|ascii] | |
238 | [--outbase 16|hex|64|base64|256|text|ascii] | |
239 | [--keyid <keyid>] | |
240 | ||
241 | ipsec whack --scdecrypt <data> | |
242 | [--inbase 16|hex|64|base64|256|text|ascii] | |
243 | [--outbase 16|hex|64|base64|256|text|ascii] | |
244 | [--keyid <keyid>] | |
245 | ||
246 | The default setting for inbase and outbase is hex. | |
247 | ||
248 | The new proxy interface can be used for securing symmetric | |
249 | encryption keys required by the cryptoloop or dm-crypt | |
250 | disk encryption schemes, especially in the case when | |
251 | pkcs11keepstate=yes causes pluto to lock the pkcs11 slot | |
252 | permanently. | |
253 | ||
254 | - if the file /etc/ipsec.secrets is lacking during the startup of | |
255 | pluto then the root-readable file /etc/ipsec.d/private/myKey.der | |
256 | containing a 2048 bit RSA private key and a matching self-signed | |
257 | certificate stored in the file /etc/ipsec.d/certs/selfCert.der | |
258 | is automatically generated by calling the function | |
259 | ||
260 | ipsec scepclient --out pkcs1 --out cert-self | |
261 | ||
262 | scepclient was written by Jan Hutter and Martin Willi, students | |
263 | at the University of Applied Sciences in Rapperswil, Switzerland. | |
264 | ||
265 | ||
266 | strongswan-2.5.4 | |
267 | ---------------- | |
268 | ||
269 | - the current extension of the PKCS#7 framework introduced | |
270 | a parsing error in PKCS#7 wrapped X.509 certificates that are | |
271 | e.g. transmitted by Windows XP when multi-level CAs are used. | |
272 | the parsing syntax has been fixed. | |
273 | ||
274 | - added a patch by Gerald Richter which tolerates multiple occurrences | |
275 | of the ipsec0 interface when using KLIPS. | |
276 | ||
277 | ||
278 | strongswan-2.5.3 | |
279 | ---------------- | |
280 | ||
281 | - with gawk-3.1.4 the word "default2 has become a protected | |
282 | keyword for use in switch statements and cannot be used any | |
283 | more in the strongSwan scripts. This problem has been | |
284 | solved by renaming "default" to "defaults" and "setdefault" | |
285 | in the scripts _confread and auto, respectively. | |
286 | ||
287 | - introduced the parameter leftsendcert with the values | |
288 | ||
289 | always|yes (the default, always send a cert) | |
290 | ifasked (send the cert only upon a cert request) | |
291 | never|no (never send a cert, used for raw RSA keys and | |
292 | self-signed certs) | |
293 | ||
294 | - fixed the initialization of the ESP key length to a default of | |
295 | 128 bits in the case that the peer does not send a key length | |
296 | attribute for AES encryption. | |
297 | ||
298 | - applied Herbert Xu's uniqueIDs patch | |
299 | ||
300 | - applied Herbert Xu's CLOEXEC patches | |
301 | ||
302 | ||
303 | strongswan-2.5.2 | |
304 | ---------------- | |
305 | ||
306 | - CRLs can now be cached also in the case when the issuer's | |
307 | certificate does not contain a subjectKeyIdentifier field. | |
308 | In that case the subjectKeyIdentifier is computed by pluto as the | |
309 | 160 bit SHA-1 hash of the issuer's public key in compliance | |
310 | with section 4.2.1.2 of RFC 3280. | |
311 | ||
312 | - Fixed a bug introduced by strongswan-2.5.1 which eliminated | |
313 | not only multiple Quick Modes of a given connection but also | |
314 | multiple connections between two security gateways. | |
315 | ||
316 | ||
317 | strongswan-2.5.1 | |
318 | ---------------- | |
319 | ||
320 | - Under the native IPsec of the Linux 2.6 kernel, a %trap eroute | |
321 | installed either by setting auto=route in ipsec.conf or by | |
322 | a connection put into hold, generates an XFRM_AQUIRE event | |
323 | for each packet that wants to use the not-yet exisiting | |
324 | tunnel. Up to now each XFRM_AQUIRE event led to an entry in | |
325 | the Quick Mode queue, causing multiple IPsec SA to be | |
326 | established in rapid succession. Starting with strongswan-2.5.1 | |
327 | only a single IPsec SA is established per host-pair connection. | |
328 | ||
329 | - Right after loading the PKCS#11 module, all smartcard slots are | |
330 | searched for certificates. The result can be viewed using | |
331 | the command | |
332 | ||
333 | ipsec auto --listcards | |
334 | ||
335 | The certificate objects found in the slots are numbered | |
336 | starting with #1, #2, etc. This position number can be used to address | |
337 | certificates (leftcert=%smartcard) and keys (: PIN %smartcard) | |
338 | in ipsec.conf and ipsec.secrets, respectively: | |
339 | ||
340 | %smartcard (selects object #1) | |
341 | %smartcard#1 (selects object #1) | |
342 | %smartcard#3 (selects object #3) | |
343 | ||
344 | As an alternative the existing retrieval scheme can be used: | |
345 | ||
346 | %smartcard:45 (selects object with id=45) | |
347 | %smartcard0 (selects first object in slot 0) | |
348 | %smartcard4:45 (selects object in slot 4 with id=45) | |
349 | ||
350 | - Depending on the settings of CKA_SIGN and CKA_DECRYPT | |
351 | private key flags either C_Sign() or C_Decrypt() is used | |
352 | to generate a signature. | |
353 | ||
354 | - The output buffer length parameter siglen in C_Sign() | |
355 | is now initialized to the actual size of the output | |
356 | buffer prior to the function call. This fixes the | |
357 | CKR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL error that could occur when using | |
358 | the OpenSC PKCS#11 module. | |
359 | ||
360 | - Changed the initialization of the PKCS#11 CK_MECHANISM in | |
361 | C_SignInit() to mech = { CKM_RSA_PKCS, NULL_PTR, 0 }. | |
362 | ||
363 | - Refactored the RSA public/private key code and transferred it | |
364 | from keys.c to the new pkcs1.c file as a preparatory step | |
365 | towards the release of the SCEP client. | |
366 | ||
367 | ||
368 | strongswan-2.5.0 | |
369 | ---------------- | |
370 | ||
371 | - The loading of a PKCS#11 smartcard library module during | |
372 | runtime does not require OpenSC library functions any more | |
373 | because the corresponding code has been integrated into | |
374 | smartcard.c. Also the RSAREF pkcs11 header files have been | |
375 | included in a newly created pluto/rsaref directory so that | |
376 | no external include path has to be defined any longer. | |
377 | ||
378 | - A long-awaited feature has been implemented at last: | |
379 | The local caching of CRLs fetched via HTTP or LDAP, activated | |
380 | by the parameter cachecrls=yes in the config setup section | |
381 | of ipsec.conf. The dynamically fetched CRLs are stored under | |
382 | a unique file name containing the issuer's subjectKeyID | |
383 | in /etc/ipsec.d/crls. | |
384 | ||
385 | - Applied a one-line patch courtesy of Michael Richardson | |
386 | from the Openswan project which fixes the kernel-oops | |
387 | in KLIPS when an snmp daemon is running on the same box. | |
388 | ||
389 | ||
390 | strongswan-2.4.4 | |
391 | ---------------- | |
392 | ||
393 | - Eliminated null length CRL distribution point strings. | |
394 | ||
395 | - Fixed a trust path evaluation bug introduced with 2.4.3 | |
396 | ||
397 | ||
398 | strongswan-2.4.3 | |
399 | ---------------- | |
400 | ||
401 | - Improved the joint OCSP / CRL revocation policy. | |
402 | OCSP responses have precedence over CRL entries. | |
403 | ||
404 | - Introduced support of CRLv2 reason codes. | |
405 | ||
406 | - Fixed a bug with key-pad equipped readers which caused | |
407 | pluto to prompt for the pin via the console when the first | |
408 | occasion to enter the pin via the key-pad was missed. | |
409 | ||
410 | - When pluto is built with LDAP_V3 enabled, the library | |
411 | liblber required by newer versions of openldap is now | |
412 | included. | |
413 | ||
414 | ||
415 | strongswan-2.4.2 | |
416 | ---------------- | |
417 | ||
418 | - Added the _updown_espmark template which requires all | |
419 | incoming ESP traffic to be marked with a default mark | |
420 | value of 50. | |
421 | ||
422 | - Introduced the pkcs11keepstate parameter in the config setup | |
423 | section of ipsec.conf. With pkcs11keepstate=yes the PKCS#11 | |
424 | session and login states are kept as long as possible during | |
425 | the lifetime of pluto. This means that a PIN entry via a key | |
426 | pad has to be done only once. | |
427 | ||
428 | - Introduced the pkcs11module parameter in the config setup | |
429 | section of ipsec.conf which specifies the PKCS#11 module | |
430 | to be used with smart cards. Example: | |
431 | ||
432 | pkcs11module=/usr/lib/pkcs11/opensc-pkcs11.lo | |
433 | ||
434 | - Added support of smartcard readers equipped with a PIN pad. | |
435 | ||
436 | - Added patch by Jay Pfeifer which detects when netkey | |
437 | modules have been statically built into the Linux 2.6 kernel. | |
438 | ||
439 | - Added two patches by Herbert Xu. The first uses ip xfrm | |
440 | instead of setkey to flush the IPsec policy database. The | |
441 | second sets the optional flag in inbound IPComp SAs only. | |
442 | ||
443 | - Applied Ulrich Weber's patch which fixes an interoperability | |
444 | problem between native IPsec and KLIPS systems caused by | |
445 | setting the replay window to 32 instead of 0 for ipcomp. | |
446 | ||
447 | ||
448 | strongswan-2.4.1 | |
449 | ---------------- | |
450 | ||
451 | - Fixed a bug which caused an unwanted Mode Config request | |
452 | to be initiated in the case where "right" was used to denote | |
453 | the local side in ipsec.conf and "left" the remote side, | |
454 | contrary to the recommendation that "right" be remote and | |
455 | "left" be"local". | |
456 | ||
457 | ||
458 | strongswan-2.4.0a | |
459 | ----------------- | |
460 | ||
461 | - updated Vendor ID to strongSwan-2.4.0 | |

463 | - updated copyright statement to include David Buechi and | |
464 | Michael Meier | |
465 | ||
466 | ||
467 | strongswan-2.4.0 | |
468 | ---------------- | |
469 | ||
470 | - strongSwan now communicates with attached smartcards and | |
471 | USB crypto tokens via the standardized PKCS #11 interface. | |
472 | By default the OpenSC library from www.opensc.org is used | |
473 | but any other PKCS#11 library could be dynamically linked. | |
474 | strongSwan's PKCS#11 API was implemented by David Buechi | |
475 | and Michael Meier, both graduates of the Zurich University | |
476 | of Applied Sciences in Winterthur, Switzerland. | |
477 | ||
478 | - When a %trap eroute is triggered by an outgoing IP packet | |
479 | then the native IPsec stack of the Linux 2.6 kernel [often/ | |
480 | always?] returns an XFRM_ACQUIRE message with an undefined | |
481 | protocol family field and the connection setup fails. | |
482 | As a workaround IPv4 (AF_INET) is now assumed. | |
483 | ||
484 | - the results of the UML test scenarios are now enhanced | |
485 | with block diagrams of the virtual network topology used | |
486 | in a particular test. | |
487 | ||
488 | ||
489 | strongswan-2.3.2 | |
490 | ---------------- | |
491 | ||
492 | - fixed IV used to decrypt informational messages. | |
493 | This bug was introduced with Mode Config functionality. | |
494 | ||
495 | - fixed NCP Vendor ID. | |
496 | ||
497 | - undid one of Ulrich Weber's maximum udp size patches | |
498 | because it caused a segmentation fault with NAT-ed | |
499 | Delete SA messages. | |
500 | ||
501 | - added UML scenarios wildcards and attr-cert which | |
502 | demonstrate the implementation of IPsec policies based | |
503 | on wildcard parameters contained in Distinguished Names and | |
504 | on X.509 attribute certificates, respectively. | |
505 | ||
506 | ||
507 | strongswan-2.3.1 | |
508 | ---------------- | |
509 | ||
510 | - Added basic Mode Config functionality | |
511 | ||
512 | - Added Mathieu Lafon's patch which upgrades the status of | |
513 | the NAT-Traversal implementation to RFC 3947. | |
514 | ||
515 | - The _startklips script now also loads the xfrm4_tunnel | |
516 | module. | |
517 | ||
518 | - Added Ulrich Weber's netlink replay window size and | |
519 | maximum udp size patches. | |
520 | ||
521 | - UML testing now uses the Linux 2.6.10 UML kernel by default. | |
522 | ||
523 | ||
524 | strongswan-2.3.0 | |
525 | ---------------- | |
526 | ||
527 | - Eric Marchionni and Patrik Rayo, both recent graduates from | |
528 | the Zuercher Hochschule Winterthur in Switzerland, created a | |
529 | User-Mode-Linux test setup for strongSwan. For more details | |
530 | please read the INSTALL and README documents in the testing | |
531 | subdirectory. | |
532 | ||
533 | - Full support of group attributes based on X.509 attribute | |
534 | certificates. Attribute certificates can be generated | |
535 | using the openac facility. For more details see | |
536 | ||
537 | man ipsec_openac. | |
538 | ||
539 | The group attributes can be used in connection definitions | |
540 | in order to give IPsec access to specific user groups. | |
541 | This is done with the new parameter left|rightgroups as in | |
542 | ||
543 | rightgroups="Research, Sales" | |
544 | ||
545 | giving access to users possessing the group attributes | |
546 | Research or Sales, only. | |
547 | ||
548 | - In Quick Mode clients with subnet mask /32 are now | |
549 | coded as IP_V4_ADDRESS or IP_V6_ADDRESS. This should | |
550 | fix rekeying problems with the SafeNet/SoftRemote and NCP | |
551 | Secure Entry Clients. | |
552 | ||
553 | - Changed the defaults of the ikelifetime and keylife parameters | |
554 | to 3h and 1h, respectively. The maximum allowable values are | |
555 | now both set to 24 h. | |
556 | ||
557 | - Suppressed notification wars between two IPsec peers that | |
558 | could e.g. be triggered by incorrect ISAKMP encryption. | |
559 | ||
560 | - Public RSA keys can now have identical IDs if either the | |
561 | issuing CA or the serial number is different. The serial | |
562 | number of a certificate is now shown by the command | |
563 | ||
564 | ipsec auto --listpubkeys | |
565 | ||
566 | ||
567 | strongswan-2.2.2 | |
568 | ---------------- | |
569 | ||
570 | - Added Tuomo Soini's sourceip feature which allows a strongSwan | |
571 | roadwarrior to use a fixed Virtual IP (see README section 2.6) | |
572 | and reduces the well-known four tunnel case on VPN gateways to | |
573 | a single tunnel definition (see README section 2.4). | |
574 | ||
575 | - Fixed a bug occuring with NAT-Traversal enabled when the responder | |
576 | suddenly turns initiator and the initiator cannot find a matching | |
577 | connection because of the floated IKE port 4500. | |
578 | ||
579 | - Removed misleading ipsec verify command from barf. | |
580 | ||
581 | - Running under the native IP stack, ipsec --version now shows | |
582 | the Linux kernel version (courtesy to the Openswan project). | |
583 | ||
584 | ||
585 | strongswan-2.2.1 | |
586 | ---------------- | |
587 | ||
588 | - Introduced the ipsec auto --listalgs monitoring command which lists | |
589 | all currently registered IKE and ESP algorithms. | |
590 | ||
591 | - Fixed a bug in the ESP algorithm selection occuring when the strict flag | |
592 | is set and the first proposed transform does not match. | |
593 | ||
594 | - Fixed another deadlock in the use of the lock_certs_and_keys() mutex, | |
595 | occuring when a smartcard is present. | |
596 | ||
597 | - Prevented that a superseded Phase1 state can trigger a DPD_TIMEOUT event. | |
598 | ||
599 | - Fixed the printing of the notification names (null) | |
600 | ||
601 | - Applied another of Herbert Xu's Netlink patches. | |
602 | ||
603 | ||
604 | strongswan-2.2.0 | |
605 | ---------------- | |
606 | ||
607 | - Support of Dead Peer Detection. The connection parameter | |
608 | ||
609 | dpdaction=clear|hold | |
610 | ||
611 | activates DPD for the given connection. | |
612 | ||
613 | - The default Opportunistic Encryption (OE) policy groups are not | |
614 | automatically included anymore. Those wishing to activate OE can include | |
615 | the policy group with the following statement in ipsec.conf: | |
616 | ||
617 | include /etc/ipsec.d/examples/oe.conf | |
618 | ||
619 | The default for [right|left]rsasigkey is now set to %cert. | |
620 | ||
621 | - strongSwan now has a Vendor ID of its own which can be activated | |
622 | using the compile option VENDORID | |
623 | ||
624 | - Applied Herbert Xu's patch which sets the compression algorithm correctly. | |
625 | ||
626 | - Applied Herbert Xu's patch fixing an ESPINUDP problem | |
627 | ||
628 | - Applied Herbert Xu's patch setting source/destination port numbers. | |
629 | ||
630 | - Reapplied one of Herbert Xu's NAT-Traversal patches which got | |
631 | lost during the migration from SuperFreeS/WAN. | |
632 | ||
633 | - Fixed a deadlock in the use of the lock_certs_and_keys() mutex. | |
634 | ||
635 | - Fixed the unsharing of alg parameters when instantiating group | |
636 | connection. | |
637 | ||
638 | ||
639 | strongswan-2.1.5 | |
640 | ---------------- | |
641 | ||
642 | - Thomas Walpuski made me aware of a potential DoS attack via | |
643 | a PKCS#7-wrapped certificate bundle which could overwrite valid CA | |
644 | certificates in Pluto's authority certificate store. This vulnerability | |
645 | was fixed by establishing trust in CA candidate certificates up to a | |
646 | trusted root CA prior to insertion into Pluto's chained list. | |
647 | ||
648 | - replaced the --assign option by the -v option in the auto awk script | |
649 | in order to make it run with mawk under debian/woody. | |
650 | ||
651 | ||
652 | strongswan-2.1.4 | |
653 | ---------------- | |
654 | ||
655 | - Split of the status information between ipsec auto --status (concise) | |
656 | and ipsec auto --statusall (verbose). Both commands can be used with | |
657 | an optional connection selector: | |
658 | ||
659 | ipsec auto --status[all] <connection_name> | |
660 | ||
661 | - Added the description of X.509 related features to the ipsec_auto(8) | |
662 | man page. | |
663 | ||
664 | - Hardened the ASN.1 parser in debug mode, especially the printing | |
665 | of malformed distinguished names. | |
666 | ||
667 | - The size of an RSA public key received in a certificate is now restricted to | |
668 | ||
669 | 512 bits <= modulus length <= 8192 bits. | |
670 | ||
671 | - Fixed the debug mode enumeration. | |
672 | ||
673 | ||
674 | strongswan-2.1.3 | |
675 | ---------------- | |
676 | ||
677 | - Fixed another PKCS#7 vulnerability which could lead to an | |
678 | endless loop while following the X.509 trust chain. | |
679 | ||
680 | ||
681 | strongswan-2.1.2 | |
682 | ---------------- | |
683 | ||
684 | - Fixed the PKCS#7 vulnerability discovered by Thomas Walpuski | |
685 | that accepted end certificates having identical issuer and subject | |
686 | distinguished names in a multi-tier X.509 trust chain. | |
687 | ||
688 | ||
689 | strongswan-2.1.1 | |
690 | ---------------- | |
691 | ||
692 | - Removed all remaining references to ipsec_netlink.h in KLIPS. | |
693 | ||
694 | ||
695 | strongswan-2.1.0 | |
696 | ---------------- | |
697 | ||
698 | - The new "ca" section allows to define the following parameters: | |
699 | ||
700 | ca kool | |
701 | cacert=koolCA.pem # cacert of kool CA | |
702 | ocspuri=http://ocsp.kool.net:8001 # ocsp server | |
703 | ldapserver=ldap.kool.net # default ldap server | |
704 | crluri=http://www.kool.net/kool.crl # crl distribution point | |
705 | crluri2="ldap:///O=Kool, C= .." # crl distribution point #2 | |
706 | auto=add # add, ignore | |
707 | ||
708 | The ca definitions can be monitored via the command | |
709 | ||
710 | ipsec auto --listcainfos | |
711 | ||
712 | - Fixed cosmetic corruption of /proc filesystem by integrating | |
713 | D. Hugh Redelmeier's freeswan-2.06 kernel fixes. | |
714 | ||
715 | ||
716 | strongswan-2.0.2 | |
717 | ---------------- | |
718 | ||
719 | - Added support for the 818043 NAT-Traversal update of Microsoft's | |
720 | Windows 2000/XP IPsec client which sends an ID_FQDN during Quick Mode. | |
721 | ||
722 | - A symbolic link to libcrypto is now added in the kernel sources | |
723 | during kernel compilation | |
724 | ||
725 | - Fixed a couple of 64 bit issues (mostly casts to int). | |
726 | Thanks to Ken Bantoft who checked my sources on a 64 bit platform. | |
727 | ||
728 | - Replaced s[n]printf() statements in the kernel by ipsec_snprintf(). | |
729 | Credits go to D. Hugh Redelmeier, Michael Richardson, and Sam Sgro | |
730 | of the FreeS/WAN team who solved this problem with the 2.4.25 kernel. | |
731 | ||
732 | ||
733 | strongswan-2.0.1 | |
734 | ---------------- | |
735 | ||
736 | - an empty ASN.1 SEQUENCE OF or SET OF object (e.g. a subjectAltName | |
737 | certificate extension which contains no generalName item) can cause | |
738 | a pluto crash. This bug has been fixed. Additionally the ASN.1 parser has | |
739 | been hardened to make it more robust against malformed ASN.1 objects. | |
740 | ||
741 | - applied Herbert Xu's NAT-T patches which fixes NAT-T under the native | |
742 | Linux 2.6 IPsec stack. | |
743 | ||
744 | ||
745 | strongswan-2.0.0 | |
746 | ---------------- | |
747 | ||
748 | - based on freeswan-2.04, x509-1.5.3, nat-0.6c, alg-0.8.1rc12 |
