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.

Fixed In Version:	libreswan-4.6-3.el9	Doc Type:	Enhancement
Doc Text:	.Libreswan does not accept IKEv1 packages by default Because the Internet Key Exchange v2 (IKEv2) protocol is now widely deployed, Libreswan no longer supports IKEv1 packets by default. IKEv2 provides a more secure environment and more resilience against attacks. If your scenario requires the use of IKEv1, you can enable it by adding the `ikev1-policy=accept` option to the `/etc/ipsec.conf` configuration file.	Story Points:	---

Description Ondrej Moriš 2022-01-12 16:12:08 UTC

Description of problem:

Libreswan now (4.3) supports policy for IKEv1 packets. By default they are allowed. In RHEL-9 it would be good to put a barrier to using old IKEv1 by setting 'drop' ikev1-policy in default ipsec.conf. Please notice that this wouldn't change the default (which is 'accept') but rather explicitly configure default libreswan installation not to use the default.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libreswan-4.3

Additional info:

This setting causes that no IKEv1 connection will be loaded. We need to document this changes properly. It is also quite clear that upstream is planning to get rid of IKEv1 (strongswan too) and we won't be able to guarantee full support for IKEv1 during RHEL-9 lifecycle.
