ipv6 addrconf: Implemented enhanced DAD (RFC7527)

2016-12-04T04:21:37+00:00

Implemented RFC7527 Enhanced DAD.
IPv6 duplicate address detection can fail if there is some temporary
loopback of Ethernet frames. RFC7527 solves this by including a random
nonce in the NS messages used for DAD, and if an NS is received with the
same nonce it is assumed to be a looped back DAD probe and is ignored.
RFC7527 is enabled by default. Can be disabled by setting both of
conf/{all,interface}/enhanced_dad to zero.

ipv6: sr: add core files for SR HMAC support

2016-11-10T01:40:06+00:00

This patch adds the necessary functions to compute and check the HMAC signature
of an SR-enabled packet. Two HMAC algorithms are supported: hmac(sha1) and
hmac(sha256).

In order to avoid dynamic memory allocation for each HMAC computation,
a per-cpu ring buffer is allocated for this purpose.

A new per-interface sysctl called seg6_require_hmac is added, allowing a
user-defined policy for processing HMAC-signed SR-enabled packets.
A value of -1 means that the HMAC field will always be ignored.
A value of 0 means that if an HMAC field is present, its validity will
be enforced (the packet is dropped is the signature is incorrect).
Finally, a value of 1 means that any SR-enabled packet that does not
contain an HMAC signature or whose signature is incorrect will be dropped.

ipv6: implement dataplane support for rthdr type 4 (Segment Routing Header)

2016-11-10T01:40:06+00:00

Implement minimal support for processing of SR-enabled packets
as described in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6man-segment-routing-header-02.

This patch implements the following operations:
- Intermediate segment endpoint: incrementation of active segment and rerouting.
- Egress for SR-encapsulated packets: decapsulation of outer IPv6 header + SRH
  and routing of inner packet.
- Cleanup flag support for SR-inlined packets: removal of SRH if we are the
  penultimate segment endpoint.

A per-interface sysctl seg6_enabled is provided, to accept/deny SR-enabled
packets. Default is deny.

This patch does not provide support for HMAC-signed packets.

ipv6 addrconf: implement RFC7559 router solicitation backoff

2016-09-30T05:54:28+00:00

This implements:
  https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7559

Backoff is performed according to RFC3315 section 14:
  https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3315#section-14

We allow setting /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/router_solicitations
to a negative value meaning an unlimited number of retransmits,
and we make this the new default (inline with the RFC).

We also add a new setting:
  /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/router_solicitation_max_interval
defaulting to 1 hour (per RFC recommendation).

net: ipv6: Make address flushing on ifdown optional

2016-02-26T02:45:15+00:00

Currently, all ipv6 addresses are flushed when the interface is configured
down, including global, static addresses:

    $ ip -6 addr show dev eth1
    3: eth1:  mtu 1500 state UP qlen 1000
        inet6 2100:1::2/120 scope global
           valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
        inet6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe79:34bd/64 scope link
           valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    $ ip link set dev eth1 down
    $ ip -6 addr show dev eth1
    << nothing; all addresses have been flushed>>

Add a new sysctl to make this behavior optional. The new setting defaults to
flush all addresses to maintain backwards compatibility. When the set global
addresses with no expire times are not flushed on an admin down. The sysctl
is per-interface or system-wide for all interfaces

    $ sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth1.keep_addr_on_down=1
or
    $ sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.keep_addr_on_down=1

Will keep addresses on eth1 on an admin down.

    $ ip -6 addr show dev eth1
    3: eth1:  mtu 1500 state UP qlen 1000
        inet6 2100:1::2/120 scope global
           valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
        inet6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe79:34bd/64 scope link
           valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    $ ip link set dev eth1 down
    $ ip -6 addr show dev eth1
    3: eth1:  mtu 1500 state DOWN qlen 1000
        inet6 2100:1::2/120 scope global tentative
           valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

ipv6: add option to drop unsolicited neighbor advertisements

2016-02-11T09:27:36+00:00

In certain 802.11 wireless deployments, there will be NA proxies
that use knowledge of the network to correctly answer requests.
To prevent unsolicitd advertisements on the shared medium from
being a problem, on such deployments wireless needs to drop them.

Enable this by providing an option called "drop_unsolicited_na".

ipv6: add option to drop unicast encapsulated in L2 multicast

2016-02-11T09:27:36+00:00

In order to solve a problem with 802.11, the so-called hole-196 attack,
add an option (sysctl) called "drop_unicast_in_l2_multicast" which, if
enabled, causes the stack to drop IPv6 unicast packets encapsulated in
link-layer multi- or broadcast frames. Such frames can (as an attack)
be created by any member of the same wireless network and transmitted
as valid encrypted frames since the symmetric key for broadcast frames
is shared between all stations.

net: ipv6 sysctl option to ignore routes when nexthop link is down

2015-08-14T04:27:19+00:00

Like the ipv4 patch with a similar title, this adds a sysctl to allow
the user to change routing behavior based on whether or not the
interface associated with the nexthop was an up or down link.  The
default setting preserves the current behavior, but anyone that enables
it will notice that nexthops on down interfaces will no longer be
selected:

net.ipv6.conf.all.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
net.ipv6.conf.default.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
net.ipv6.conf.lo.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
...

When the above sysctls are set, not only will link status be reported to
userspace, but an indication that a nexthop is dead and will not be used
is also reported.

1000::/8 via 7000::2 dev p7p1  metric 1024 dead linkdown  pref medium
1000::/8 via 8000::2 dev p8p1  metric 1024  pref medium
7000::/8 dev p7p1  proto kernel  metric 256 dead linkdown  pref medium
8000::/8 dev p8p1  proto kernel  metric 256  pref medium
9000::/8 via 8000::2 dev p8p1  metric 2048  pref medium
9000::/8 via 7000::2 dev p7p1  metric 1024 dead linkdown  pref medium
fe80::/64 dev p7p1  proto kernel  metric 256 dead linkdown  pref medium
fe80::/64 dev p8p1  proto kernel  metric 256  pref medium

This also adds devconf support and notification when sysctl values
change.

net/ipv6: add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limit

2015-07-30T22:56:40+00:00

Commit 6fd99094de2b ("ipv6: Don't reduce hop limit for an interface")
disabled accept hop limit from RA if it is smaller than the current hop
limit for security stuff. But this behavior kind of break the RFC definition.

RFC 4861, 6.3.4.  Processing Received Router Advertisements
   A Router Advertisement field (e.g., Cur Hop Limit, Reachable Time,
   and Retrans Timer) may contain a value denoting that it is
   unspecified.  In such cases, the parameter should be ignored and the
   host should continue using whatever value it is already using.

   If the received Cur Hop Limit value is non-zero, the host SHOULD set
   its CurHopLimit variable to the received value.

So add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limit to let user choose the minimum
hop limit value they can accept from RA. And set default to 1 to meet RFC
standards.

ipv6: sysctl to restrict candidate source addresses

2015-07-22T17:54:11+00:00

Per RFC 6724, section 4, "Candidate Source Addresses":

    It is RECOMMENDED that the candidate source addresses be the set
    of unicast addresses assigned to the interface that will be used
    to send to the destination (the "outgoing" interface).

Add a sysctl to enable this behaviour.
