Bug #1269
Data race in ike_sa_manager.c
Description
I run this (https://code.google.com/p/data-race-test/wiki/ThreadSanitizer) tool, and found possible data race:
Trread 1 call stack:
0 checkout_by_message src/libcharon/sa/ike_sa_manager.c:1341
1 execute src/libcharon/processing/jobs/process_message_job.c:66
2 process_job src/libstrongswan/processing/processor.c:235
3 process_jobs src/libstrongswan/processing/processor.c:321
4 thread_main src/src/libstrongswan/threading/thread.c:303
Thread 2 call stack:
0 heckout_by_message src/libcharon/sa/ike_sa_manager.c:1296
1 execute src/libcharon/processing/jobs/process_message_job.c:66
2 process_job src/libstrongswan/processing/processor.c:235
3 process_jobs src/libstrongswan/processing/processor.c:321
4 thread_main src/libstrongswan/threading/thread.c:303
Suggested fix:
Change those lines (ike_sa_manager.c:1296):
entry->checked_out = TRUE;
unlock_single_segment(this, segment);
entry->processing = get_message_id_or_hash(message);
entry->init_hash = hash;
to that:
entry->checked_out = TRUE;
entry->processing = get_message_id_or_hash(message);
entry->init_hash = hash;
unlock_single_segment(this, segment);

Agreed, retransmits of initial IKE messages received practically concurrently with the original message might not have been handled as intended (i.e. by simply logging ignoring request with ID ..., already processing). Fix can be found in the 1269-checkout-by-message branch. As mentioned in the commit message there might still be races for IKEv1 that I don't think are currently handled correctly by the IKEv1 task manager.
#2 Updated by Avinoam Meir over 4 years ago
Test the 1269-checkout-by-message branch and it works well.

Thanks for testing! Applied the fix to master.
ike-sa-manager: Don't update entries for init messages after unlocking segment
If the retransmit of an initial message is processed concurrently with the
original message it might not have been handled as intended as the
thread processing the retransmit might not have seen the correct value
of entry->processing set by the thread handling the original request.
For IKEv1, i.e. without proper message IDs, there might still be races e.g.
when receiving a retransmit of the initial IKE message while processing the
initiator's second request.
Fixes #1269.
