The build script requires the paths to the NDK and OpenSSL sources.
It runs the build in a Docker container, by default. But if the required
tools are installed on the system (currently jq, make and perl) it can
also be run directly on the system by defining NO_DOCKER.
A relatively recent version of the NDK is required (the pre-built
toolchains are required).
If libcurl is built with MultiSSL support (not the case for e.g.
Debian/Ubuntu, which ship separate, conflicting libraries), this allows
selecting the SSL/TLS backend libcurl uses.
Only older versions of OpenSSL and GnuTLS need special treatment, so we
now accept all other backends (e.g. "(SecureTransport) OpenSSL/1.1.1s"
on macOS).
Whenever we remove support for the affected versions of the mentioned
libraries, we can remove the corresponding *-threading plugin feature
and the code here.
While the kernel defines it since 2005 (2.6.14), some older versions of
socket.h shipped with C libraries might not. In particular, glibc only
added it with 2.24 in 2016.

The Python versions installed in the system image in
`/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/` have symlinks in `/usr/local/bin/`
that conflict with symlinks that `brew` tries to create, which causes
errors like these:
==> Pouring python@3.11--3.11.1.monterey.bottle.tar.gz
Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
Could not symlink bin/2to3-3.11
Target /usr/local/bin/2to3-3.11
already exists. You may want to remove it:
rm '/usr/local/bin/2to3-3.11'
To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files:
brew link --overwrite python@3.11
To list all files that would be deleted:
brew link --overwrite --dry-run python@3.11
Possible conflicting files are:
/usr/local/bin/2to3-3.11 -> /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/2to3-3.11
/usr/local/bin/idle3.11 -> /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/idle3.11
/usr/local/bin/pydoc3.11 -> /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/pydoc3.11
/usr/local/bin/python3.11 -> /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/python3.11
/usr/local/bin/python3.11-config -> /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/python3.11-config
Since the changes to the DH implementations that were merged with
30faf04e92dc ("Merge branch 'multi-ke-backport'"), most implementations
don't support deriving different shared secrets for the same private key
by calling set_public_key() with another public key anymore (some prevent
it explicitly, but reusing DH private keys is not something we want to
support anyway). So we can't reuse the DH object on one side for every
round.
With newer kernels (basic support for extended ACKs is there since 4.12
but some messages for XFRM were only added with 6.1) this gives more
detailed error messages to the user than e.g. a generic EINVAL or ENOSYS
error would.
Also enabled omitting the request payload in NLMSG_ERROR messages.
The resolvconf implementation provided by systemd via resolvectl strips
everything after the interface name, so each additional server that's
installed replaces the previous one. And even for other resolvconf
implementations installing them individually doesn't seem necessary as
we track and refcount them anyway.
Closesstrongswan/strongswan#1353
Newer releases of systemd contain a change that removes not the part
after the first dot but the part after the last when determining the
interface name (apparently some interface names actually contain a dot).
This changes the default prefix to only contain one dot and avoids the
dots added by IPv4 addresses to create a unique interface/protocol for
each DNS server (it also replaces the `:` in IPv6 addresses with
something that might cause less conflicts).

Since the encryption has been moved into the TKM we don't rely on many
cryptographic operations. Mainly SHA-1 that's used in IKEv2 (NAT-D) and
for some internal hashes (cookies, message duplicate detection), and
certificate and public key parsing (not the actual signature/chain
verification, which is done by the TKM).
When issuing a deregistration message, some last events may still be sent
by the daemon before deregistration completes. Ignore such event messages
silently during deregistration, avoiding exceptions like:
vici.exception.SessionException:
Unexpected response type 7, expected '5' (EVENT_CONFIRM)
The architecture of the Python client is completely blocking, which is fine
for many simple scripts. For more complex applications that do other I/O
and listen for vici events, the most feasible way to integrate the client is
to use a dedicated thread.
Unfortunately, Python has no simple support for thread cancellation. And
having that thread in a blocking recv() does not allow to terminate the
thread gracefully with an Event or the like.
As a way out, add a timeout to the listen() call, so the thread can
periodically do other things, like checking for termination Event and
react on it. Returning from listen() on timeout can be suboptimal, though,
as it involves registration/deregistration for events, including the risk
for missing events while not registered. So return a (None, None) tuple
instead on timeout, allowing the caller to periodically do other things
while staying registered for the events and continue in listen().
The timeout applies to the socket recv() for the start of the header, only,
so a message is either read in full or times out, avoiding the risk
of breaking message framing on the stream with partial reads.
Depending on the configured hard lifetime the default soft lifetime
might not make sense and could even cause rekeying to get disabled.
To avoid that, derive the soft lifetime from the hard lifetime so it's
10% higher than the soft lifetime.
