Bug #1076
Multiple policies between strongswan and racoon.
Description
Hello,
I try to configure an IPsec tunnel between two peers in the same LAN - one is running StrongSwan 5.3.2 (Peer1) the other racoon (ipsec-tools v0.8.2) (Peer2).
I configure two policies for the tunnel, the policies come UP and everything seems fine. BUT traffic flows only through one of the policies.
IPsec tunnel:
10.0.1.1/32 | --- 192.168.3.8 (Peer1) <-> (Peer2) 192.168.3.4 --- | 10.0.1.2/32 10.0.2.1/32 | | 10.0.2.2/32
I produce traffic by simply pinging the other side of the policy (e.g. ping -I 10.0.1.1 10.0.1.2).
If I remove any one of the two policies, then the remaining policy is successfully established and traffic flows without errors.
I am not sure if this behavior is a bug either on the racoon or on the StrongSwan side, or the configuration is simply wrong. Any help is appreciated.

I also noticed that it matters which peer initiates the tunnel:
- StrongSwan initiates the tunnel - both policies successfully come UP, traffic only through one of the policies
- racoon initiates the tunnel - one policy comes UP but the second policy ends stuck with the following log on StrongSwan side:

ikev1: Avoid fourth QM message if third QM messages of multiple exchanges are handled delayed
If we haven't received the third QM message for multiple exchanges the
return value of NEED_MORE for passive tasks that are not responsible for
a specific exchange would trigger a fourth empty QM message.

While racoon installs all the SAs and policies it assigns the same reqid to all of them. So if you look at the outbound policies on Peer2 you see that all the traffic will be sent to the same IPsec SA because the associated template lists the same IPs, same protocol, same mode, same reqid, so the first SA will get used for all the traffic. That won't work together with strongSwan on the other end. Because there the kernel will check the decrypted packets against the inbound policies and that won't result in a match for the second set of traffic selectors as the inbound policy points to a different IPsec SA (different reqid). Is it possible to use distinct reqids for each SA in racoon?
racoon initiates the tunnel - one policy comes UP but the second policy ends stuck with the following log on StrongSwan side:
It looks like the first message of the second Quick Mode exchange overtaking the third message of the first Quick Mode exchange trips up strongSwan. The exchanged messages are as follows (with the respective message ID):
racoon charon
Quick Mode req (3246901756) ----------->
<----------- Quick Mode resp (3246901756)
Quick Mode req (3246901756) ---\
Quick Mode req (2849100021) ----\------> Interpreted as last QM message of (3246901756)
\-----> Interpreted as new QM exchange, but it misses all required payloads
This is definitely a bug. The attached patch tried to address this, could you give it a try? (It won't fix the policy/SA problem mentioned above, but it should allow racoon to initiate the SAs).

Hi Tobias,
Is it possible to use distinct reqids for each SA in racoon?
I tried setting distinct reqids in the policies. The StrongSwan configuration was changed by setting reqid=0 in the ipsectest$0 and reqid=1 in the ipsectest$1 blocks. This change fixed the issue with traffic between both policies, great!
I applied your patch 0001-ikev1-Fix-handling-of-overlapping-Quick-Mode-exchang.patch:This is definitely a bug. The attached patch tried to address this, could you give it a try? (It won't fix the policy/SA problem mentioned above, but it should allow racoon to initiate the SAs).
- with reqid changes - both policies came UP and traffic flows successfully through both of the policies (irrespective of which peer initiates the tunnel).
- without reqid changes - both policies came UP but traffic flows only through the last established policy as expected (irrespective of which peer initiates the tunnel).
Both changes solved my issues.
Thank you very much for the great support!

That's actually kind of an ugly hack. reqid=0 will allocate 1 as reqid (0 means no static reqid and the first one allocated is 1 - but if there are other SAs that might not be the case) and reqid=1 sets the reqid for the second SA to the same value. You should rather check if you can use distinct reqids on the racoon side (e.g. use unique instead of require).

OK, thanks for testing. I'll line that up for the next release.

Good point!
So I changed back the StrongSwan configuration to not set reqids. Additionally, the setkey.conf configuration was changed by replacing require by unique for all lines.
Traffic flows without any errors through both policies!
Thanks once again!

ikev1: Fix handling of overlapping Quick Mode exchanges
In some cases the third message of a Quick Mode exchange might arrive
after the first message of a subsequent Quick Mode exchange. Previously
these messages were handled incorrectly and the second Quick Mode
exchange failed.
Some implementations might even try to establish multiple Quick Modes
simultaneously, which is explicitly allowed in RFC 2409. We don't fully
support that, though, in particular in case of retransmits.
Fixes #1076.
