Description

In IKE V2 StrongSwan raise ALERT_PROPOSAL_MISMATCH_IKE

We currently don't raise such an alert for IKEv1 , and it would make sense to do so.

patch attached.

Hi,

Thanks for your patch. I've split it up to individual commits, cleaned it up and made some changes:

While strongSwan sends NO_PROPOSAL_CHOSEN in different situations, only some are actually due to a real proposal mismatch. I'd prefer to raise the alert only if it is actually results from a real proposal mismatch (not for protocol errors or the like).

Further, we should really catch proposal mismatches reported through INFORMATIONAL messages; this is the way most clients will report such errors.

The individual commits are available in the proposal-alerts branch.

Regards
Martin

Hey,

while looking another time in the branch, It seem that in quick_mode.c in the method process_i should also raise the ALERT_PROPOSAL_MISMATCH_CHILD alert if there it doesn't find proposal.

Thanks,

Avinoam
