[IPSEC] af_key.c checks key bits for IPComp

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

 



In pfkey_msg2xfrm_state, the number of key bits for the encryption algorithm (which as far as I can tell is the extension header used to specify IPComp as well as for ESP) is checked even for IPComp. For IPComp, racoon sets sadb_key_bits to 0 since there is no key involved. This causes pfkey_msg2xfrm_state to return an error since (key->sadb_key_bits + 7) / 8 == 0. However, isn't 0 the correct value for sadb_key_bits when the algorithm is IPComp? If not, then should the IKE daemon specify a non-zero value for sadb_key_bits when sending an SADB_ADD message for IPComp?
