RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
When enabling dcookies using force_busy=yes to counter DDoS attacks, a wrong pointer size causes the pluto daemon to restart

Hi Paul,
could you provide me any reproducer? I tried it with simple configuration, but I failed. There was no pluto restart.
config setup
protostack=netkey
force_busy=yes
conn test
left=MACHINE0
right=MACHINE1
authby=secret
auto=add
ps: Option force_busy is not in ipsec.conf man page in openswan.
You need to specify ikev2=insist on both sides.
Then you'll see:
| state hash entry 12
| inserting state object #1 on chain 12
| inserting event EVENT_SO_DISCARD, timeout in 0 seconds for #1
| event added at head of queue
| processing connection westnet-eastnet-ikev2
Assertion failure: status==SECSuccess, at /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/openswan-2.6.32/lib/libcrypto/libsha1/sha1.c:145
the option force_busy is a developer/test option only. So I would not worry too much about it (although we have since documented it in libreswan)
Hi Paul,
it did not help :-(. If I have force_busy=yes and ikev2=insist on both site then connection is not established. I tried all combinations but nothing helped.
Could you provide me your full configuration file? Thanks.
