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.
Chop any trailing '/' char, be more careful about handling incoming large HTTP
responses, print the HTTP request and response in --verbose --verbose mode.
Updated the 'make install' step to not overwrite any existing config files in
/etc/fwknop/ and instead install new copies from the source tree at
/etc/fwknop/fwknopd.conf.inst and /etc/fwknop/access.conf.inst
Set restrictive permissions on /etc/fwknop/ directory and /etc/fwknop/* files.
Current default permissions on /etc/fwknop/ and /etc/fwknop/* are too lax.
Implemented a new check to ensure that the iptables 'comment' match exists to
ensure the proper environment for fwknopd operations. This check is controlled
by the new ENABLE_IPT_COMMENT_CHECK variable, and was suggested by Hank
Leininger.
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:

Added FLUSH_IPFW_AT_INIT and FLUSH_IPFW_AT_EXIT for ipfw firewalls to emulate
the corresponding functionality that is implemented for iptables firewalls.
Bug fix for ipfw firewalls to ensure that if the ipfw expire set is zero, then
do not disable this set whenever the FLUSH_IPFW* variables are enabled.
These changes were suggested by Jonathan Schulz.
Applied patch from Jonathan Schulz to ensure that the fwknop client reads all
data from a remote webserver when resolving the client IP address in -R mode.
Jonathan indicated that some webservers would transfer HTTP headers and data
separately, and a single recv() would therefore fail to get the necessary IP
information.
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.
