Since re-exec change in 2022.82 Dropbear count
treat authenticated sessions towards the unauthenticated
session limit. This is fixed by passing the childpipe FD
through to the re-execed process.
This allows ASLR to re-randomize the address
space for every connection, preventing some
vulnerabilities from being exploitable by
repeated probing.
Overhead (memory and time) is yet to be confirmed.
At present this is only enabled on Linux. Other BSD platforms
with fexecve() would probably also work though have not been tested.
For the sake of review, this commit alters only the code; the affiliated
comments within the source files also need to be updated, but doing so
now would obscure the operational changes that have been made here.
* All on/off options have been switched to the numeric `#if' variant;
that is the only way to make this `default_options.h.in' thing work
in a reasonable manner.
* There is now some very minor compile-time checking of the user's
choice of options.
* NO_FAST_EXPTMOD doesn't seem to be used, so it has been removed.
* ENABLE_USER_ALGO_LIST was supposed to be renamed DROPBEAR_USER_ALGO_LIST,
and this commit completes that work.
* DROPBEAR_FUZZ seems to be a relatively new, as-yet undocumented option,
which was added by the following commit:
commit 6e0b539e9c
Author: Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au>
Date: Tue May 23 22:29:21 2017 +0800
split out checkpubkey_line() separately
It has now been added to `sysoptions.h' and defined as `0' by default.
* The configuration option `DROPBEAR_PASSWORD_ENV' is no longer listed in
`default_options.h.in'; it is no longer meant to be set by the user, and
is instead left to be defined in `sysoptions.h' (where it was already being
defined) as merely the name of the environment variable in question:
DROPBEAR_PASSWORD
To enable or disable use of that environment variable, the user must now
toggle `DROPBEAR_USE_DROPBEAR_PASSWORD'.
* The sFTP support is now toggled by setting `DROPBEAR_SFTPSERVER', and the
path of the sFTP server program is set independently through the usual
SFTPSERVER_PATH.
- Try to reduce the frequency of select() timeouts
- Add a max receive window size of 1MB
