Add an actual SSH server program.
This server is NOT SECURE! If anyone is reading this commit message, DO NOT DEPLOY IT IN A HOSTILE-FACING ENVIRONMENT! Its purpose is to speak the server end of everything PuTTY speaks on the client side, so that I can test that I haven't broken PuTTY when I reorganise its code, even things like RSA key exchange or chained auth methods which it's hard to find a server that speaks at all. (For this reason, it's declared with [UT] in the Recipe file, so that it falls into the same category as programs like testbn, which won't be installed by 'make install'.) Working title is 'Uppity', partly for 'Universal PuTTY Protocol Interaction Test Yoke', but mostly because it looks quite like the word 'PuTTY' with part of it reversed. (Apparently 'test yoke' is a very rarely used term meaning something not altogether unlike 'test harness', which is a bit of a stretch, but it'll do.) It doesn't actually _support_ everything I want yet. At the moment, it's a proof of concept only. But it has most of the machinery present, and the parts it's missing - such as chained auth methods - should be easy enough to add because I've built in the required flexibility, in the form of an AuthPolicy object which can request them if it wants to. However, the current AuthPolicy object is entirely trivial, and will let in any user with the password "weasel". (Another way in which this is not a production-ready server is that it also has no interaction with the OS's authentication system. In particular, it will not only let in any user with the same password, but it won't even change uid - it will open shells and forwardings under whatever user id you started it up as.) Currently, the program can only speak the SSH protocol on its standard I/O channels (using the new FdSocket facility), so if you want it to listen on a network port, you'll have to run it from some kind of separate listening program similar to inetd. For my own tests, I'm not even doing that: I'm just having PuTTY spawn it as a local proxy process, which also conveniently eliminates the risk of anyone hostile connecting to it. The bulk of the actual code reorganisation is already done by previous commits, so this change is _mostly_ just dropping in a new set of server-specific source files alongside the client-specific ones I created recently. The remaining changes in the shared SSH code are numerous, but all minor: - a few extra parameters to BPP and PPL constructors (e.g. 'are you in server mode?'), and pass both sets of SSH-1 protocol flags from the login to the connection layer - in server mode, unconditionally send our version string _before_ waiting for the remote one - a new hook in the SSH-1 BPP to handle enabling compression in server mode, where the message exchange works the other way round - new code in the SSH-2 BPP to do _deferred_ compression the other way round (the non-deferred version is still nicely symmetric) - in the SSH-2 transport layer, some adjustments to do key derivation either way round (swapping round the identifying letters in the various hash preimages, and making sure to list the KEXINITs in the right order) - also in the SSH-2 transport layer, an if statement that controls whether we send SERVICE_REQUEST and wait for SERVICE_ACCEPT, or vice versa - new ConnectionLayer methods for opening outgoing channels for X and agent forwardings - new functions in portfwd.c to establish listening sockets suitable for remote-to-local port forwarding (i.e. not under the direction of a Conf the way it's done on the client side). |

Move client-specific SSH code into new files.
This is a major code reorganisation in preparation for making this code base into one that can build an SSH server as well as a client. (Mostly for purposes of using the server as a regression test suite for the client, though I have some other possible uses in mind too. However, it's currently no part of my plan to harden the server to the point where it can sensibly be deployed in a hostile environment.) In this preparatory commit, I've broken up the SSH-2 transport and connection layers, and the SSH-1 connection layer, into multiple source files, with each layer having its own header file containing the shared type definitions. In each case, the new source file contains code that's specific to the client side of the protocol, so that a new file can be swapped in in its place when building the server. Mostly this is just a straightforward moving of code without changing it very much, but there are a couple of actual changes in the process: The parsing of SSH-2 global-request and channel open-messages is now done by a new pair of functions in the client module. For channel opens, I've invented a new union data type to be the return value from that function, representing either failure (plus error message), success (plus Channel instance to manage the new channel), or an instruction to hand the channel over to a sharing downstream (plus a pointer to the downstream in question). Also, the tree234 of remote port forwardings in ssh2connection is now initialised on first use by the client-specific code, so that's where its compare function lives. The shared ssh2connection_free() still takes responsibility for freeing it, but now has to check if it's non-null first. The outer shell of the ssh2_lportfwd_open method, for making a local-to-remote port forwarding, is still centralised in ssh2connection.c, but the part of it that actually constructs the outgoing channel-open message has moved into the client code, because that will have to change depending on whether the channel-open has to have type direct-tcpip or forwarded-tcpip. In the SSH-1 connection layer, half the filter_queue method has moved out into the new client-specific code, but not all of it - bidirectional channel maintenance messages are still handled centrally. One exception is SSH_MSG_PORT_OPEN, which can be sent in both directions, but with subtly different semantics - from server to client, it's referring to a previously established remote forwarding (and must be rejected if there isn't one that matches it), but from client to server it's just a "direct-tcpip" request with no prior context. So that one is in the client-specific module, and when I add the server code it will have its own different handler. |

Add missing pq_pop when handling SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT.
Somehow I managed to leave that line out in both SSH-1 and SSH-2's functions for handling DISCONNECT, IGNORE and DEBUG, and in both cases, only for DISCONNECT. Oops. |

New abstraction 'Seat', to pass to backends.
This is a new vtable-based abstraction which is passed to a backend in place of Frontend, and it implements only the subset of the Frontend functions needed by a backend. (Many other Frontend functions still exist, notably the wide range of things called by terminal.c providing platform-independent operations on the GUI terminal window.) The purpose of making it a vtable is that this opens up the possibility of creating a backend as an internal implementation detail of some other activity, by providing just that one backend with a custom Seat that implements the methods differently. For example, this refactoring should make it feasible to directly implement an SSH proxy type, aka the 'jump host' feature supported by OpenSSH, aka 'open a secondary SSH session in MAINCHAN_DIRECT_TCP mode, and then expose the main channel of that as the Socket for the primary connection'. (Which of course you can already do by spawning 'plink -nc' as a separate proxy process, but this would permit it in the _same_ process without anything getting confused.) I've centralised a full set of stub methods in misc.c for the new abstraction, which allows me to get rid of several annoying stubs in the previous code. Also, while I'm here, I've moved a lot of duplicated modalfatalbox() type functions from application main program files into wincons.c / uxcons.c, which I think saves duplication overall. (A minor visible effect is that the prefixes on those console-based fatal error messages will now be more consistent between applications.) |

Give BPPs a Frontend, so they can do their own logging.
The sshverstring quasi-frontend is passed a Frontend pointer at setup time, so that it can generate Event Log entries containing the local and remote version strings and the results of remote bug detection. I'm promoting that field of sshverstring to a field of the public BPP structure, so now all BPPs have the right to talk directly to the frontend if they want to. This means I can move all the log messages of the form 'Initialised so-and-so cipher/MAC/compression' down into the BPPs themselves, where they can live exactly alongside the actual initialisation of those primitives. It also means BPPs will be able to log interesting things they detect at any point in the packet stream, which is about to come in useful for another purpose. |

Rename FROMFIELD to 'container_of'.
Ian Jackson points out that the Linux kernel has a macro of this name with the same purpose, and suggests that it's a good idea to use the same name as they do, so that at least some people reading one code base might recognise it from the other. I never really thought very hard about what order FROMFIELD's parameters should go in, and therefore I'm pleasantly surprised to find that my order agrees with the kernel's, so I don't have to permute every call site as part of making this change :-) |

Fix mishandling of user abort during SSH-1 auth.
If the user presses ^C or ^D at an authentication prompt, I meant to handle that by calling ssh_user_close, i.e. treat the closure as being intentionally directed _by_ the user, and hence don't bother putting up a warning box telling the user it had happened. I got this right in ssh2userauth, but in ssh1login I mistakenly called ssh_sw_abort instead. That's what I get for going through all the subtly different session closures in a hurry trying to decide which of five categories each one falls into... |

Move most of ssh.c out into separate source files.
I've tried to separate out as many individually coherent changes from this work as I could into their own commits, but here's where I run out and have to commit the rest of this major refactoring as a big-bang change. Most of ssh.c is now no longer in ssh.c: all five of the main coroutines that handle layers of the SSH-1 and SSH-2 protocols now each have their own source file to live in, and a lot of the supporting functions have moved into the appropriate one of those too. The new abstraction is a vtable called 'PacketProtocolLayer', which has an input and output packet queue. Each layer's main coroutine is invoked from the method ssh_ppl_process_queue(), which is usually (though not exclusively) triggered automatically when things are pushed on the input queue. In SSH-2, the base layer is the transport protocol, and it contains a pair of subsidiary queues by which it passes some of its packets to the higher SSH-2 layers - first userauth and then connection, which are peers at the same level, with the former abdicating in favour of the latter at the appropriate moment. SSH-1 is simpler: the whole login phase of the protocol (crypto setup and authentication) is all in one module, and since SSH-1 has no repeat key exchange, that setup layer abdicates in favour of the connection phase when it's done. ssh.c itself is now about a tenth of its old size (which all by itself is cause for celebration!). Its main job is to set up all the layers, hook them up to each other and to the BPP, and to funnel data back and forth between that collection of modules and external things such as the network and the terminal. Once it's set up a collection of packet protocol layers, it communicates with them partly by calling methods of the base layer (and if that's ssh2transport then it will delegate some functionality to the corresponding methods of its higher layer), and partly by talking directly to the connection layer no matter where it is in the stack by means of the separate ConnectionLayer vtable which I introduced in commit 8001dd4cb, and to which I've now added quite a few extra methods replacing services that used to be internal function calls within ssh.c. (One effect of this is that the SSH-1 and SSH-2 channel storage is now no longer shared - there are distinct struct types ssh1_channel and ssh2_channel. That means a bit more code duplication, but on the plus side, a lot fewer confusing conditionals in the middle of half-shared functions, and less risk of a piece of SSH-1 escaping into SSH-2 or vice versa, which I remember has happened at least once in the past.) The bulk of this commit introduces the five new source files, their common header sshppl.h and some shared supporting routines in sshcommon.c, and rewrites nearly all of ssh.c itself. But it also includes a couple of other changes that I couldn't separate easily enough: Firstly, there's a new handling for socket EOF, in which ssh.c sets an 'input_eof' flag in the BPP, and that responds by checking a flag that tells it whether to report the EOF as an error or not. (This is the main reason for those new BPP_READ / BPP_WAITFOR macros - they can check the EOF flag every time the coroutine is resumed.) Secondly, the error reporting itself is changed around again. I'd expected to put some data fields in the public PacketProtocolLayer structure that it could set to report errors in the same way as the BPPs have been doing, but in the end, I decided propagating all those data fields around was a pain and that even the BPPs shouldn't have been doing it that way. So I've reverted to a system where everything calls back to functions in ssh.c itself to report any connection- ending condition. But there's a new family of those functions, categorising the possible such conditions by semantics, and each one has a different set of detailed effects (e.g. how rudely to close the network connection, what exit status should be passed back to the whole application, whether to send a disconnect message and/or display a GUI error box). I don't expect this to be immediately perfect: of course, the code has been through a big upheaval, new bugs are expected, and I haven't been able to do a full job of testing (e.g. I haven't tested every auth or kex method). But I've checked that it _basically_ works - both SSH protocols, all the different kinds of forwarding channel, more than one auth method, Windows and Linux, connection sharing - and I think it's now at the point where the easiest way to find further bugs is to let it out into the wild and see what users can spot. |
