Description

Brief description

When we specify the crypto_icv_size to be 8 or 12, we expected ICV to be 8/12 bytes, but the encrypted packet is returned with ICV 16 bytes

Proposal fix:
#4902

Scapy version

2.6.1

Python version

3.10

Operating system

Ubuntu 24.04

Additional environment information

How to reproduce

plain pkt:
packet = Ether(dst='00:16:3e:18:a3:d8', src='00:16:3e:1f:a3:21', type=2048)/IP(version=4, ihl=5, tos=138, id=0, flags=0, frag=0, ttl=64, proto=17, src='208.187.180.224', dst='13.44.133.133')/UDP(sport=21462, dport=6745)/Raw(load=b'vwOTOgfUCksFGipvuBJiKyvjjVsiSiAdWxIbkVJTWNsRateFXLMRkLGpQvltFUCgYOELFCh')

sa = SecurityAssociation(ESP, 37, 0, crypt_key= b'n\x01\x9b\xca\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00',crypt_icv_size=12,tunnel_header=IP(src="2.2.2.2",dst="195.108.74.160",id=3, ttl=0),crypt_algo="AES-GCM")

iv = b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'

encrypted_pkt = sa.encrypt(packet[IP], iv=iv)

Actual result

Research direction

Start at SecurityAssociation.encrypt and the AES-GCM handling for crypt_icv_size values of 8 and 12; reproduce the issue with the supplied packet and association setup. Done means the returned ESP packet has the requested truncated ICV and matching length and checksum, with coverage for both sizes. A proposed fix is already linked in pull request #4902.
