Before this patch, RDP security was (wrongly) the fallback when negociating a
security protocol between the client and the server. For example when a client
was claiming TLS-only when connecting to a FreeRDP based-server with RDP security only,
the result of the negociation was that the server started to do RDP security.
The expected behaviour is to send a nego failure packet with error code
SSL_NOT_ALLOWED_BY_SERVER. This patch fixes this.
We also try to handle all cases of failed negociation and return the corresponding
error code.
The input->FocusInEvent callback implementations (normal and fast-path) have
always sent the mouse position even if the pointer was outside of the freerdp
client area. In addition xfreerdp used the wrong pointer coordinates which
were relative to the root window instead of its own.
On focus-in the pointer position must only be sent if the pointer is
currently within the program's client area. However, the clients had no way
to pass that information to input->FocusInEvent which required an API change.
- removed mouse pointer x, y parameters from input interface's FocusInEvent
- clients are responsible to call input->MouseEvent on focus-in if necessary
- fixed xfreerdp and wfreerdp accordingly
[MS-RDPBCGR] Section 5.3 describes the encryption level and method values for
standard RDP security.
Looking at the current usage of these values in the FreeRDP code gives me
reason to believe that there is a certain lack of understanding of how these
values should be handled.
The encryption level is only configured on the server side in the "Encryption
Level" setting found in the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration RDP-Tcp
properties dialog and this value is never transferred from the client to the
server over the wire.
The possible options are "None", "Low", "Client Compatible", "High" and
"FIPS Compliant". The client receices this value in the Server Security Data
block (TS_UD_SC_SEC1), probably only for informational purposes and maybe to
give the client the possibility to verify if the server's decision for the
encryption method confirms to the server's encryption level.
The possible encryption methods are "NONE", "40BIT", "56BIT", "128BIT" and
"FIPS" and the RDP client advertises the ones it supports to the server in the
Client Security Data block (TS_UD_CS_SEC).
The server's configured encryption level value restricts the possible final
encryption method.
Something that I was not able to find in the documentation is the priority
level of the individual encryption methods based on which the server makes its
final method decision if there are several options.
My analysis with Windows Servers reveiled that the order is 128, 56, 40, FIPS.
The server only chooses FIPS if the level is "FIPS Comliant" or if it is the
only method advertised by the client.
Bottom line:
* FreeRDP's client side does not need to set settings->EncryptionLevel
(which was done quite frequently).
* FreeRDP's server side does not have to set the supported encryption methods
list in settings->EncryptionMethods
Changes in this commit:
Removed unnecessary/confusing changes of EncryptionLevel/Methods settings
Refactor settings->DisableEncryption
* This value actually means "Advanced RDP Encryption (NLA/TLS) is NOT used"
* The old name caused lots of confusion among developers
* Renamed it to "UseRdpSecurityLayer" (the compare logic stays untouched)
Any client's setting of settings->EncryptionMethods were annihilated
* All clients "want" to set all supported methods
* Some clients forgot 56bit because 56bit was not supported at the time the
code was written
* settings->EncryptionMethods was overwritten anyways in nego_connect()
* Removed all client side settings of settings->EncryptionMethods
The default is "None" (0)
* Changed nego_connect() to advertise all supported methods if
settings->EncryptionMethods is 0 (None)
* Added a commandline option /encryption-methods:comma separated list of the
values "40", "56", "128", "FIPS". E.g. /encryption-methods:56,128
* Print warning if server chooses non-advertised method
Verify received level and method in client's gcc_read_server_security_data
* Only accept valid/known encryption methods
* Verify encryption level/method combinations according to MS-RDPBCGR 5.3.2
Server implementations can now set settings->EncryptionLevel
* The default for settings->EncryptionLevel is 0 (None)
* nego_send_negotiation_response() changes it to ClientCompatible in that case
* default to ClientCompatible if the server implementation set an invalid level
Fix server's gcc_write_server_security_data
* Verify server encryption level value set by server implementations
* Choose rdp encryption method based on level and supported client methods
* Moved FIPS to the lowest priority (only used if other methods are possible)
Updated sample server
* Support RDP Security (RdpKeyFile was not set)
* Added commented sample code for setting the security level
When "detect" is used as gateway usage method (which is the default)
it is tried to by-pass gateway connection for local hosts.
The detection might take some time therefore print a message that people
are aware that a detection is tried.
Fixes#2171
- fixed invalid stream position if extEncryptionMethods is not used
- enabled 56bit rdp security method
- fixed entropy reduction of the keys for 40 bit and 56 bit
- added rdp security incl. FIPS for fastpath output
- added FIPS encryption to fast path input
- fixed FIPS key generation in server mode
- fixed stream length correction in FIPS mode
- added rdp encryption for licensing packets (apparently some clients,
specifically cetsc, require the license packets received from the
server to be encrypted under certain RDP encryption levels)
- replace errnous virtual extended mouse event in focus in event
Malloc can fail so it will, this patch adds some check in some places
where malloc/strdup results were not checked.
This patch also contains a server side fix for RDP security (credit to nfedera).
The signature len was badly set in the GCC packet. And some other RDP security
oriented fixes are also there.
