This is because the list of keys is copied from listen socket to newly accepted socket at "tcp_create_openreq_child" time which happens after the 3-way handshake is completely (with an ACK from client) but before accept(). The simplest incorrect behavior is that an incoming connection using a key that is being deleted may be accepted and it will last indefinitely. But it's worse than that: if server sockets have an arbitrarily old version of the key chain then userspace can't reliably implement key management. Possible solutions: 1. Make linux TCP copy the keys list from the listen socket on "accept" specifically. Not clear where in the code. 2. Add a sockopt to copy keys on demand from listen to accept. Like solution 2 but dumped on userspace. 3. Make userspace check if current key on accepted sockets is expired? Not clear how exactly and right now there isn't even an interface to list current keys on a socket. 4. Make keys global, per-namespace instead of per-socket. Solution 4 is quite a large change to make so late but it would also simplify userspace in other ways, for example there would no longer be a need to do the same keyadd/keydel on all the established sockets. Can you think of other solutions? TCP_MD5SIG does not suffer from this very much because it only ever supports one for each established socket. --- I also had a recent conversation with Philip Paeps which plans to implement TCP-AO for freebsd and various open-source userspace daemons, hopefully in a way that requires minimum os-specific ifdefs. His initial idea was to use PF_KEY for a global list of keys but I don't think it has any clear advantage over just doing SOL_TCP setsockopts on any random TCP socket. I think if an interface such as PF_KEY or xfrm or netlink would be supported it would still make sense to have an internal list of custom struct tcp_authopt_key anyway. So why not just implement the most specific interface. Global keys would also be vaguely aligned to this suggestion from FRR: (https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/pull/9442#issuecomment-904766419) In theory it would be possible to support both socket-specific and global keys, but I can't think of a reason to do so other than compatibility with older version of this patch series. Can anyone think of a realistic scenario that can only be made to work with per-socket keys? --- It would also be possible to push all key rollover policy into the kernel. Current proprietary implementations implement something similar to RFC8177: optional time intervals for "accept" and "send". This logic is very simple, it just requires extending the key struct with 4 wall-time fields. This is not however required for making keys global so it can be a separate discussion. I also received a bunch of kernel build robot complains that I need to fix. It's also not clear that making the tcp_authopt_info member in twsk a plain pointer is correct, it might need RCU annotations. -- Regards, Leonard
