[PATCH V13 2/5] nwfilter: add DHCP snooping

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch adds DHCP snooping support to libvirt. The learning method for
IP addresses is specified by setting the "CTRL_IP_LEARNING" variable to one of
"any" [default] (existing IP learning code), "none" (static only addresses)
or "dhcp" (DHCP snooping).

Active leases are saved in a lease file and reloaded on restart or HUP.

The following interface XML activates and uses the DHCP snooping:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <source bridge='virbr0'/>
      <filterref filter='clean-traffic'>
        <parameter name='CTRL_IP_LEARNING' value='dhcp'/>
      </filterref>
    </interface>

All filters containig the variable 'IP' are automatically adjusted when
the VM receives an IP address via DHCP. However, multiple IP addresses per
interface are silently ignored in this patch, thus only supporting one IP
address per interface. Multiple IP address support is added in a later
patch in this series.

Changes since v12:
- use pcap_create to open pcap to be able to set smaller buffer
  than the 2 MB default buffer used by pcap which leads to processing
  of huge backlog of messages if flooding occurrs
- use virAtomicInc/Dec
- use indep. rate controllers, one per direction to tune out of
  flooding in each direction individually (even if flooding was to
  occurr, libvirt doesn't use much CPU [0.3%])

Changes since v11:
- renamed ip_learning variable to CTRL_IP_LEARNING
- using virSocketAddr rather than uint32_t for IPv4 addresses
- don't submit packets to the worker thread that are below
  a reasonable size of a DHCP packet

Changes since v10:
- using 2 pcap captures now, one for incoming and one for outgoing traffic
  to prevent libvirt from picking up spoofed DHCP packets and adding bogus
  leases
- more cleanups on variable names

Changes since v9:
- introduced usage of thread pool for having a worker that evaluates the
  received DHCP packets and have it instantiate the new filters; it does
  more time consuming work while the 'normal' thread tries to maximies
  its time in libpcap packet capture function
- added rate limitation for evaluation of DCHP packets to prevent
  flooding the worker thread
- thread startup synchronization to avoid missing packets on a PXE-booting
  VM that may send DHCP packets early
- more work on documentation
- introducing #defines for reserved variable names

Changes since v8:
- naming consistency
- memory leaks
- if-before-free not being necessary
- separate shutdown function (for avoiding a valgrind reporting memory leak)
- a compilation error ("%d", strlen())
- pass NULL for a pointer rather than 0
- use common exits where possible
- make 'make syntax-check' pass
- due to a locking bug resulting in a deadlock reworked the locking and
  introduced a reference counter for the SnoopReq that must be held while
  the 'req' variable is accessed; it resulred in finer grained locking with
  the virNWFilterSnoopLock()
- improved on the documentation

Changes since v7:
- renamed functions as suggested
- collected local state into "virNWFilterSnoopState" struct
- cleaned up include file list
- misc code cleanups per review comments

+    <h3><a name="nwfelemsRulesAdvIPAddrDetection">Automatic IP address detection</a></h3>
+    <p>
+       The detection of IP addresses used on a virtual machine's interface
+       is automatically activated if the variable <code>IP</code> is referenced
+       but not value has been assign to it.
+       <span class="since">Since 0.9.12</span>
+       the variable <code>CTRL_IP_LEARNING</code> can be used to specify
+       the IP address learning method to use. Valid values are <code>any</code>,
+       <code>dhcp</code>, or <code>none</code>.
+       <br/><br/>
+       The value <code>any</code> means that libvirt may use any packet to
+       determine the address in use by a virtual machine, which is the default
+       behavior if the variable <code>CTRL_IP_LEARNING</code> is not set. This method
+       will only detect a single IP address on an interface.
+       Once a VM's IP address has been detected, its IP network traffic
+       will be locked to that address, if for example IP address spoofing
+       is prevented by one of its filters. In that case the user of the VM
+       will not be able to change the IP address on the interface inside
+       the VM, which would be considered IP address spoofing.
+       When a VM is migrated to another host or resumed after a suspend operation,
+       the first packet sent by the VM will again determine the IP address it can
+       use on a particular interface.
+       <br/><br>
+       A value of <code>dhcp</code> specifies that libvirt should only honor DHCP
+       server-assigned addresses with valid leases. This method supports the detection
+       and usage of multiple IP address per interface.
+       When a VM is resumed after a suspend operation, still valid IP address leases
+       are applied to its filters. Otherwise the VM is expected to again use DHCP to obtain new
+       IP addresses. The migration of a VM to another physical host requires that
+       the VM again runs the DHCP protocol.
+       <br/><br/>
+       Use of <code>CTRL_IP_LEARNING=dhcp</code> (DHCP snooping) provides additional
+       anti-spoofing security, especially when combined with a filter allowing
+       only trusted DHCP servers to assign addresses. To enable this, set the
+       variable <code>DHCPSERVER</code> to the IP address of a valid DHCP server
+       and provide filters that use this variable to filter incoming DHCP responses.
+       <br/><br/>
+       When DHCP snooping is enable and the DHCP lease expires,
+       the VM will no longer be able to use the IP address until it acquires a
+       new, valid lease from a DHCP server. If the VM is migrated, it must get
+       a new valid DHCP lease to use an IP address (e.g., by
+       bringing the VM interface down and up again).
+       <br/><br/>
+       Note that automatic DHCP detection listens to the DHCP traffic
+       the VM exchanges with the DHCP server of the infrastructure. To avoid
+       denial-of-service attacks on libvirt, the evaluation of those packets
+       is rate-limited, meaning that a VM sending an excessive number of DHCP
+       packets per seconds on an interface will not have all of those packets
+       evaluated and thus filters may not get adapted. Normal DHCP client
+       behavior is assumed to send a low number of DHCP packets per second.
+       Further, it is important to setup approriate filters on all VMs in
+       the infrastructure to avoid them  being able to send DHCP
+       packets. Therefore VMs must either be prevented from sending UDP and TCP
+       traffic from port 67 to port 68 or the <code>DHCPSERVER</code>
+       variable should be used on all VMs to restrict DHCP server messages to
+       only be allowed to originate from trusted DHCP servers. At the same
+       time anti-spoofing prevention must be enabled on all VMs in the subnet.
+       <br/><br/>
+       If <code>CTRL_IP_LEARNING</code> is set to <code>none</code>, libvirt does not do
+       IP address learning and referencing <code>IP</code> without assigning it an
+       explicit value is an error.
+       <br/><br/>
+       The following XML provides an example for the activation of IP address learning
+       using the DHCP snooping method:
+    </p>
+<pre>
+    &lt;interface type='bridge'&gt;
