Since commit a228952 FreeRDP generates corrupt licensing packets if the rdp
security layer is used and the peer did not indicate that it is capable of
processing encrypted licensing packets:
That commit changed rdp->sec_flags after the rdp stream was already initialized
with encryption enabled which placed the PDU payload at an incorrect offset.
Instead of directly modifying the rdp->sec_flags this patch temporarily
disables rdp->do_crypt during rdp stream initialization if the client has not
advertised support for encrypted licensing packets.
Some buggy server(s) send data for channels that weren't announced or
negotiated. When processing this data FreeRDP had a problem and always
used the last channel in the channels list even if it wasn't responsible
for the data. Depending on how the channel handled the data this could
lead to different kind of problems and also segmentation faults.
Now data for unknown channels is ignored and not processed further.
[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
* update_process_glyph_fragments() ignored the text background rectangle
* moved the OpRight value fix-up to update_process_glyph_fragments() since
it is required for all glyph primary drawing orders
Client side code always tells the server that it is capable of processing
encrypted licensing packages (SEC_LICENSE_ENCRYPT_SC) but didn't set
the recently added flag to indicate that.
Fixes#2196
rpc_send_enqueue_pdu returns -1 on error but the type of error isn't
distinguishable. Therefore make sure that the buffer gets always freed.
The only exception to this is when the pdu was already queued. Then the
dequeuing function should take care of freeing the buffer when
processing the pdu.
The fix in #2130 eliminates the problem when connecting over a gateway
but introduces other problems server side and client side (client/server
can't detect anymore when a TCP connection was closed).
