Subject: Strange problem with SCTP+IPv6

I've stumbled upon a strange problem with SCTP and IPv6. If I create an
sctp listening socket on :: and set the IPV6_V6ONLY socket option on it,
then I make a connection to it using ::1, the connection will drop after
2.5 seconds with an ECONNRESET error.

It only happens on SCTP, it doesn't have the issue if you connect to a
full IPv6 address instead of ::1, and it doesn't happen if you don't
set IPV6_V6ONLY. I have verified current end of tree kernel.org.
I tried on an ARM system and x86_64.

I haven't dug into the kernel to see if I could find anything yet, but I
thought I would go ahead and report it. I am attaching a reproducer.
Basically, compile the following code:

gcc -g -o sctptest -Wall sctptest.c

and run it in one window as a server:

./sctptest a

(Pass in any option to be the server) and run the following in another
window as the client:

./sctptest

It disconnects after about 2.5 seconds. If it works, it should just sit
there forever.

> Basically, compile the following code:
The code only set IPV6_V6ONLY on server side, so the client side will
still bind all the local ipv4 addresses (as you didn't call bind() to
bind any specific addresses ). Then after the connection is created,
the client will send HB on the v4 paths to the server. The server
will abort the connection, as it can't support v4.

So you can work around it by either:

- set IPV6_V6ONLY on client side.

or

- bind to the specific v6 addresses on the client side.

I don't see RFC said something about this.
So it may not be a good idea to change the current behaviour
to not establish the connection in this case, which may cause regression.

Let's focus on the loopback addresses ::1 and 127.0.0.1.

So the server will only use ::1. The client will send an INIT from
::1 to ::1 and lists 127.0.0.1 and ::1. That is what I would expect.
Is that happening?

The server would respond with an INIT-ACK from ::1 to ::1 and would
not list any IP addresses. Especially not 127.0.0.1, since it is IPv6 only.

After the association has beed established, the client can't send
any IPv4 packet to the server, since the server did not announce
any. The server can't send any IPv4 packets since it is IPv6 only.

This is what I would expect and this scenario should just work.
What am I missing?

Ok, I understand this. It's a little strange, but I see why it works
this way.

I don't. I would expect it to work as I described in my email.
Could someone explain me how and why it is behaving different from
my expectation?

It looks like a bug to me. Testing with this test app here, I can see
the INIT_ACK being sent with a bunch of ipv4 addresses in it and
that's unexpected for a v6only socket. As is, it's the server saying
"I'm available at these other addresses too, but not."

Does it even make sense to mix IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on the same
connection?
I don't remember ever seeing both types of address in a message,
but may not have looked.

I also wonder whether the connection should be dropped for an error
response on a path that has never been validated.

OTOH the whole 'multi-homing' part of SCTP sucks.
The IP addresses a server needs to bind to depend on where the
incoming connection will come from.
A local connection may be able to use a 192.168.x.x address
but a remote connection must not - as it may be defined locally
at the remote system.
But both connections can come into the public (routable) address.
We have to tell customers to explicitly configure the local IP
addresses - which means the application has to know what they are.
Fortunately these apps are pretty static - usually M3UA.

This does not compile in the latest mainline. sk is not defined.
Also, if you could send a normal git patch, that would be easier to
manage.

sorry, that was just the code to show the idea.

The kernel community runs on patches. It's hard to talk about changes
if you put things in pastbin type of stuff. Please send full complete
patches in emails. I will do that in a moment.

Anyway, are use sure every bp passed into sctp_bind_addrs_to_raw()
is &asoc->base.bind_addr? It's passed in to sctp_make_init() and the
passed to sctp_bind_addrs_to_raw(). If this is the case, you can remove
it from the parameters of sctp_make_init(). But I suspect it's passed
in for a reason.

Anyway, I have a patch I have compiled and tested, I will send that.

Subject: [PATCH] sctp: Don't advertise IPv4 addresses if ipv6only is set on the socket

From: Corey Minyard <[email protected]>

If a socket was set ipv6only, it would still send IPv4 addresses in the
init and init ack packets. So don't add IPv4 addresses to ipv6only
sockets.

Based on a patch by Xin Long <[email protected]>

Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <[email protected]>

I have tested this and it seem to fix the issue. However, I'm wondering
if it might be better to fix it where the addresses are put into the
association as opposed to where they are put into the message.

That's an interesting question. Do the RFCs say anything? I would
assume it was ok unless ipv6only was set.

That actually bothered me a bit more. Shouldn't it stay up if any path
is up? That's kind of the whole point of multihoming.

I don't think so.

Umm, no, If you have a private address, it better be behind a firewall,
and the firewall should handle rewriting the packet to fix the addresses.

It doesn't appear that Linux netfilter does this. There is a TODO in
the code for this. But that's how it *should* work.

Sure, if you have an IPv6 socket, which has not enabled the IPV6ONLY
socket option.

Assuming that it is not an ERROR chunk which comes back, but an ABORT,
this should happen as long as the verification tag is OK.

Not sure what this means. The application can bind a wildcard
address or a specific subset. However, when an INIT comes in,
the INIT-ACK might contain only a subset of there due to
scoping.

Yepp. Not sure what you can do about it.

Please note that in SIGRTRAN scenarios you normally not have NATs
involved as you have usually in setups used at home.

Michael explained it on the other email. What he described is what I

Right, we don't support SCTP aware NAT [1].

Another possibility for NAT traversal is UDP encapsulation...

But maybe someone wants to implement it. It is supported by FreeBSD, if you
need a peer for testing. Or the userland stack usrsctp supports it. Then you
do not need root privileges to run it.

I thought you wanted a temporary patch to run your test.

The final patch still needs some change, like drop the *bp param
even from sctp_make_init().

This is not difficult to track.
path 1:
sctp_sf_do_5_2_6_stale()/sctp_sf_do_prm_asoc()/
sctp_sf_t1_init_timer_expire() ->
sctp_make_init() -> sctp_bind_addrs_to_raw()

path 2:
sctp_make_init_ack() -> sctp_bind_addrs_to_raw().

If you think there must be a reason for this,
I think it's they may just pass a minimal-structure pointer.

You mean SCTP_REMOTE_UDP_ENCAPS_PORT sockopt, right?
We have this in our to-do list. I mixed rfc6951 with the userland one.
Will prioritize this feature. Thanks.

Great to hear. When implementing RFC 6951 support, please take
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-tuexen-tsvwg-sctp-udp-encaps-cons-02
into account. It is still valid and will be pushed further after RFC 4960bis
is done.

Yes, it is. It even highlights why this issue was there in the first
place. Sending a patch right after this email.

Subject: [PATCH net] sctp: Don't advertise IPv4 addresses if ipv6only is set on the socket

If a socket is set ipv6only, it will still send IPv4 addresses in the
INIT and INIT_ACK packets. This potentially misleads the peer into using
them, which then would cause association termination.

The fix is to not add IPv4 addresses to ipv6only sockets.

The client (if it not using an IPv6 socket having IPv6 only enabled) could
add an IPv4 address during the lifetime of the association by using the
address reconfiguration extension.

What could be done is to not send IPv4 addresses if the INIT contains
a Supported Address Types parameter indicating IPv6, but not IPv4 support.
As a client you might want to send this parameter, when the IPv6 socket has
enabled the IPV6_ONLY socket option.
Also if the client uses an IPv4 socket, it can indicate in the Supported
Address Parameter that it only support IPv4, and the server does not need
to list IPv6 addresses.

Thought.

Does it make any sense to offer addresses in the INIT_ACK that don't
have routes to those proposed in the received INIT?

'routes' probably isn't exactly the right word.
You probably only want the local address that will be used
as the source address for the probes.
Or, at least, sources addresses that could be used for the probes.

So if the INIT only contains IPv6 addresses should the INIT_ACK
ever contain IPv4 ones.

David.
