[Bluetooth] Reject L2CAP connections on an insecure ACL link

2008-09-09T05:19:20Z

The Security Mode 4 of the Bluetooth 2.1 specification has strict authentication and encryption requirements. It is the initiators job to create a secure ACL link. However in case of malicious devices, the acceptor has to make sure that the ACL is encrypted before allowing any kind of L2CAP connection. The only exception here is the PSM 1 for the service discovery protocol, because that is allowed to run on an insecure ACL link. Previously it was enough to reject a L2CAP connection during the connection setup phase, but with Bluetooth 2.1 it is forbidden to do any L2CAP protocol exchange on an insecure link (except SDP). The new hci_conn_check_link_mode() function can be used to check the integrity of an ACL link. This functions also takes care of the cases where Security Mode 4 is disabled or one of the devices is based on an older specification. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann

[Bluetooth] Enforce correct authentication requirements

2008-09-09T05:19:20Z

With the introduction of Security Mode 4 and Simple Pairing from the Bluetooth 2.1 specification it became mandatory that the initiator requires authentication and encryption before any L2CAP channel can be established. The only exception here is PSM 1 for the service discovery protocol (SDP). It is meant to be used without any encryption since it contains only public information. This is how Bluetooth 2.0 and before handle connections on PSM 1. For Bluetooth 2.1 devices the pairing procedure differentiates between no bonding, general bonding and dedicated bonding. The L2CAP layer wrongly uses always general bonding when creating new connections, but it should not do this for SDP connections. In this case the authentication requirement should be no bonding and the just-works model should be used, but in case of non-SDP connection it is required to use general bonding. If the new connection requires man-in-the-middle (MITM) protection, it also first wrongly creates an unauthenticated link key and then later on requests an upgrade to an authenticated link key to provide full MITM protection. With Simple Pairing the link key generation is an expensive operation (compared to Bluetooth 2.0 and before) and doing this twice during a connection setup causes a noticeable delay when establishing a new connection. This should be avoided to not regress from the expected Bluetooth 2.0 connection times. The authentication requirements are known up-front and so enforce them. To fulfill these requirements the hci_connect() function has been extended with an authentication requirement parameter that will be stored inside the connection information and can be retrieved by userspace at any time. This allows the correct IO capabilities exchange and results in the expected behavior. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann

[Bluetooth] Consolidate maintainers information

2008-08-18T11:23:53Z

The Bluetooth entries for the MAINTAINERS file are a little bit too much. Consolidate them into two entries. One for Bluetooth drivers and another one for the Bluetooth subsystem. Also the MODULE_AUTHOR should indicate the current maintainer of the module and actually not the original author. Fix all Bluetooth modules to provide current maintainer information.

[Bluetooth] Allow security for outgoing L2CAP connections

2008-07-14T18:13:54Z

When requested the L2CAP layer will now enforce authentication and encryption on outgoing connections. The usefulness of this feature is kinda limited since it will not allow proper connection ownership tracking until the authentication procedure has been finished. This is a limitation of Bluetooth 2.0 and before and can only be fixed by using Simple Pairing. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann

[Bluetooth] Add timestamp support to L2CAP, RFCOMM and SCO

2008-07-14T18:13:50Z

Enable the common timestamp functionality that the network subsystem provides for L2CAP, RFCOMM and SCO sockets. It is possible to either use SO_TIMESTAMP or the IOCTLs to retrieve the timestamp of the current packet. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann

[Bluetooth] Export details about authentication requirements

2008-07-14T18:13:50Z

With the Simple Pairing support, the authentication requirements are an explicit setting during the bonding process. Track and enforce the requirements and allow higher layers like L2CAP and RFCOMM to increase them if needed. This patch introduces a new IOCTL that allows to query the current authentication requirements. It is also possible to detect Simple Pairing support in the kernel this way.

[Bluetooth] Disconnect when encryption gets disabled

2008-07-14T18:13:45Z

The Bluetooth specification allows to enable or disable the encryption of an ACL link at any time by either the peer or the remote device. If a L2CAP or RFCOMM connection requested an encrypted link, they will now disconnect that link if the encryption gets disabled. Higher protocols that don't care about encryption (like SDP) are not affected. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann

[Bluetooth] Change retrieval of L2CAP features mask

2008-07-14T18:13:44Z

Getting the remote L2CAP features mask is really important, but doing this as less intrusive as possible is tricky. To play nice with older systems and Bluetooth qualification testing, the features mask is now only retrieved in two specific cases and only once per lifetime of an ACL link. When trying to establish a L2CAP connection and the remote features mask is unknown, the L2CAP information request is sent when the ACL link goes into connected state. This applies only to outgoing connections and also only for the connection oriented channels. The second case is when a connection request has been received. In this case a connection response with the result pending and the information request will be send. After receiving an information response or if the timeout gets triggered, the normal connection setup process with security setup will be initiated. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann
