If the libvirt daemon or libvirt client is configured with bogus
certificates, it is very unhelpful to only find out about this
when a TLS connection is actually attempted. Not least because
the error messages you get back for failures are incredibly
obscure.
This adds some basic sanity checking of certificates at the
time the virNetTLSContext object is created. This is at libvirt
startup, or when creating a virNetClient instance.
This checks that the certificate expiry/start dates are valid
and that the certificate is actually signed by the CA that is
loaded.
* src/rpc/virnettlscontext.c: Add certificate sanity checks
If the server succesfully validates the client cert, it will send
back a single byte, under TLS. If it fails, it will close the
connection. In this case, we were just reporting the standard
I/O error. The original RPC code had a special case hack for the
GNUTLS_E_UNEXPECTED_PACKET_LENGTH error code to make us report
a more useful error message
* src/rpc/virnetclient.c: Return ENOMSG if we get
GNUTLS_E_UNEXPECTED_PACKET_LENGTH
* src/rpc/virnettlscontext.c: Report cert failure if we
see ENOMSG
The virNetTLSContextNew was being passed key/cert parameters in
the wrong order. This wasn't immediately visible because if
virNetTLSContextNewPath was used, a second bug reversed the order
of those parameters again.
Only if the paths were manually specified in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf
did the bug appear
* src/rpc/virnettlscontext.c: Fix order of params passed to
virNetTLSContextNew
This provides two modules for handling TLS
* virNetTLSContext provides the process-wide state, in particular
all the x509 credentials, DH params and x509 whitelists
* virNetTLSSession provides the per-connection state, ie the
TLS session itself.
The virNetTLSContext provides APIs for validating a TLS session's
x509 credentials. The virNetTLSSession includes APIs for performing
the initial TLS handshake and sending/recving encrypted data
* src/Makefile.am: Add to libvirt-net-rpc.la
* src/rpc/virnettlscontext.c, src/rpc/virnettlscontext.h: Generic
TLS handling code
