VAULT-6803: fix listener issue if using `proxy_protocol_behavior` with `deny_unauthorized` for untrusted upstream connections #27589

peteski22 · 2024-06-25T09:21:43Z

Description

This PR corrects an issue introduced when supported was added for PROXY v2 on TCP listeners using proxy_protocol_behavior.

This issue was introduced in Vault v1.10.0 and has impacted all subsequent versions other than v1.16.x (due to a bug parsing this config setting).

Any listener configured to deny_unauthorized will still close a connection when the upstream proxy is untrusted, but it will now continue to listen for connections until a valid one is found. It does this by returning ErrInvalidUpstream to the proxy library.

NOTE: the issue is only present if this config setting proxy_protocol_behavior is enabled and set to deny_unauthorized.

HashiCorp checklist

Labels: If this PR is the CE portion of an ENT change, and that ENT change is
getting backported to N-2, use the new style backport/ent/x.x.x+ent labels
instead of the old style backport/x.x.x labels.
Labels: If this PR is a CE only change, it can only be backported to N, so use
the normal backport/x.x.x label (there should be only 1).
ENT Breakage: If this PR either 1) removes a public function OR 2) changes the signature
of a public function, even if that change is in a CE file, double check that
applying the patch for this PR to the ENT repo and running tests doesn't
break any tests. Sometimes ENT only tests rely on public functions in CE
files.
Jira: If this change has an associated Jira, it's referenced either
in the PR description, commit message, or branch name.
RFC: If this change has an associated RFC, please link it in the description.
ENT PR: If this change has an associated ENT PR, please link it in the
description. Also, make sure the changelog is in this PR, not in your ENT PR.

+	case server = <-serverCh:
+	}


Added a timeout to the tests as the forked library now never stops listening until it can return a valid connection.

This is the change that keeps the listener waiting for a valid connection.

Info on forked repo tag.

Keep listener listening if upstream connection address is not trusted (but close that connection).
Releases the changes requested on pires's go-proxyproto by pires/go-proxyproto#110.

Bumped to v1.0.0 which doesn't exist as a tag on the maintainer's repo but does on the forked repo. Suspect that if the maintainer accepts the PR and tags it, semver suggests the breaking change to Accept means v1.0.0 is likely.

Is it possible to add a test that fails before this change but passes afterwards? I'm not particularly familiar with this area of the code so it would especially help increase my confidence both now and in the future if we could exercise this code path and bug fix in a test

I had been testing this manually using https://github.com/muhtasimmaleque/Vault-docker-listener-bug and Linux Vault binaries I'd built before/after the change.

VioletHynes · 2024-06-25T13:21:22Z

Sorry, I think I could have worded that better: is it possible to add an automated Go test for this bug? That would also increase confidence if/when we move from the fork that it still works, without needing to re-do the manual testing

👍🏼 added https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/27589/files#diff-b14d5cc2a3b63b6d1e6990ec3933ac2339bfe5a825ac166048387614a4b6862cR440

This fails before the change, and passes afterwards. Between this and the manual testing steps in the Jira associated with the branch we should be able to prevent a regression and reproduce any issues.

VioletHynes

This looks great! Thanks for adding a nice test for this too, it'll help if/when we move from the fork.

Awesome job with this one -- complicated area of code!
