Description

Hi, I am testing the make_before_break functionality and have found inconsistency (at least I think so) in handling the »old/pre-auth« child sa-s between the initiator and responder.

As can be seen from the statuses below, the initiator keeps the old child sa and also creates the new one, whereas the responder drops the old one and creates the new one.

The connection keeps working till the next rekey, when the initiator starts (and keeps trying forever) to rekey the non-existent (on the responder side) child sa. There also seem to be some other issues as after a day or so of trying to rekey charon freezes. Unfortunatley I can not give you more details at this time, since I am still discovering what exactly is going on.

Best regards
Luka

ikev2: Don't adopt any CHILD_SA during make-before-break reauthentication

While the comment is rather clear that we should not adopt live CHILD_SAs
during reauthentication in IKEv2, the code does nonetheless. Add an additional
version check to fix reauthentication if the reauth responder has a replace
uniqueids policy.

Fixes #871.

Hi Luka,

[...] the initiator keeps the old child sa and also creates the new one, whereas the responder drops the old one and creates the new one.

Thanks for testing and your bug report. I've tried to reproduce this issue using a configuration very similar to yours, and was successful when using a uniqueids=replace policy. For IKEv1 we must adopt all children to a re-authenticated IKE_SA, but for IKEv2 we certainly must not. As the comment in that code is actually correct it is possible that this is a merge/rebase conflict not properly resolved.

I've addressed this bug with the referenced commit, please let me know if it fixes this issue for you.

Regards
Martin
