For SPA packets encrypted with Rjindael, fwknop has always used CBC mode
even though ECB mode is mentioned in a couple of places. This change makes
more transparent use of block_encrypt() and block_decrypt() to ensure that
the appropriate mode is used. The default is CBC mode, but others can be
selected as well (-M <mode> for the fwknop client, and ENCRYPTION_MODE in
access.conf for the fwknopd server).
This is a significant update to allow AES encryption modes to be selected on a
per-key basis. For now, only ECB and CBC (recommended) modes are supported.
The default is ECB modes in order to maintain backwards compatibility with the
older perl version of fwknop and the Crypt::CBC CPAN module. This will likely
be changed to use CBC mode by default because of its better security
properties.
In the access.conf file on the server side, there is a new configuration
variable "ENCRYPTION_MODE" that controls the mode for the corresponding AES
key. On the client side, a new command line argument "--encryption-mode"
controls how the client encrypts SPA packets.
This commit adds a new configuration variable "FORCE_NAT" to the access.conf
file:
For any valid SPA packet, force the requested connection to be NAT'd
through to the specified (usually internal) IP and port value. This is
useful if there are multiple internal systems running a service such as
SSHD, and you want to give transparent access to only one internal system
for each stanza in the access.conf file. This way, multiple external
users can each directly access only one internal system per SPA key.
This commit also implements a few minor code cleanups.
This commit does two major things:
1) Two new access.conf variables are added "ACCESS_EXPIRE" and
"ACCESS_EXPIRE_EPOCH" to allow access stanzas to be expired without having
to modify the access.conf file and restart fwknopd.
2) Allow an access stanza that matches the SPA source address to not
automatically short circuit other stanzas if there is an error (such as when
there are multiple encryption keys involved and an incoming SPA packet is
meant for, say, the second stanza and the first therefore doesn't allow
proper decryption).
The two memory leaks were found with the test suite running in
--enable-valgrind mode - here are the relevant error messages:

There is also a new clean_exit() function that makes it easier to ensure that
resources are deallocated upon existing.
