- [client+server] Fernando Arnaboldi from IOActive found that strict
filesystem permissions for various fwknop files are not verified. Added
warnings whenever permissions are not strict enough, and ensured that
files created by the fwknop client and server are only set to user
read/write.
- [client] Fernando Arnaboldi from IOActive found a local buffer overflow
in --last processing with a maliciously constructed ~/.fwknop.run file.
This has been fixed with proper validation of .fwknop.run arguments.
This commit fixes a condition in which the server did not properly validate
allow IP addresses from malicious authenticated clients. This has been fixed
with stronger allow IP validation.
- [server] Fernando Arnaboldi from IOActive found several DoS/code
execution vulnerabilities for malicious fwknop clients that manage to
get past the authentication stage (so a such a client must be in
possession of a valid access.conf encryption key). These vulnerbilities
manifested themselves in the handling of malformed access requests, and
both the fwknopd server code along with libfko now perform stronger input
validation of access request data. These vulnerabilities affect
pre-2.0.3 fwknop releases.
- [test suite] Added a new fuzzing capability to ensure proper server-side
input validation. Fuzzing data is constructed with modified fwknop
client code that is designed to emulate malicious behavior.
For GPG mode, added a new access.conf variable "GPG_ALLOW_NO_PW" to make it
possible to leverage a server-side GPG key pair that has no associated
password. This comes in handy when a system requires the user to leverage
gpg-agent / pinentry which can present a problem in automated environments as
required by the fwknopd server. Now, it might seem like a problem to remove
the passphrase from a GPG key pair, but it's important to note that simply
doing this is little worse than storing the passphrase in the clear on disk
anyway in the access.conf file. Further, this link help provides additional
detail:

Ensure that an attacker cannot force a replay attack by intercepting an
SPA packet and the replaying it with the base64 version of "Salted__"
(for Rindael) or the "hQ" prefix (for GnuPG). This is an important fix.
The following comment was added into the fwknopd code:
/* Ignore any SPA packets that contain the Rijndael or GnuPG prefixes
* since an attacker might have tacked them on to a previously seen
* SPA packet in an attempt to get past the replay check. And, we're
* no worse off since a legitimate SPA packet that happens to include
* a prefix after the outer one is stripped off won't decrypt properly
* anyway because libfko would not add a new one.

When using the --nat-local argument on the fwknop client command line, the
fwknopd server needs to add an INPUT ACCEPT rule for the requested access
since the incoming connection is destined for a local socket. Added test
suite support to test --nat-local access.
[test suite] Minor bug fix to ensure that all file_find_regex() calls return
true if all regex's are matched and false if any regex does not match data in
the specified file.
Richard Haas reported the test suite failing on Mac OS X systems with the
existence check for the libfko library. Damien Stuart advised that the library
has a different extention '.dylib' on Mac OS X, so this change accounts for the
difference.
Added --key-gen to allow KEY_BASE64 and HMAC_KEY_BASE64 keys to be created from
reading random data from /dev/random. These keys can be placed within server
access.conf files and corresponding client .fwknoprc files for SPA
communications. The HMAC key is not used yet with this commit, but that is
coming.
