BUG: Unintended (?) XFRM bypass

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

 



Please CC me on all responses.
The XFRM frame work seems to be bypassed by the use of advanced routing.

I have ran the following test:
Network:	A <-------> B <---------> C
where the IP of 'B' on network AB is j (eth0)
and the IP of 'B' on network BC is k (eth1)

Kernel 2.6.x: Be sure to have: Advanced Routing->Policy Routing compiled in
your kernel.

A) Setup IPsec ESP tunnels between computer A and B (both IP addresses k and
j)
B) Send packets to 'A' from 'B' with IP 'k'.
	Do this with: ip route add A src k dev eth0
C) Observe that these packets are unencrypted.

Is this a known issue?  Is someone already working to resolve it?
Should I be asking if this is even considered an issue?

Cheers,
Thomas
