feat(quic)!: derive the stateless reset key from listen.reset.secret - #5910
Conversation
|
Thanks for picking this up. I built a462da1 and ran it end to end on loopback:
So it does what #5861 asked. Most of what is left is the exporter sending nothing the new relay can answer until its next keep-alive. Three things:
(Written by Claude Opus 5.5) |
Both drivers built their endpoint from EndpointConfig::default(), which draws a random reset key per process, so a restarted server could not reset its predecessor's connections and peers waited out the idle timeout (moq-dev#5861). The moq-quic default also keys its hashed connection ID generator per process, so the restarted server dropped those packets as invalid IDs before it could reset them. EndpointConfig::reset_secret derives both keys from an operator secret with HKDF-SHA256. listen.reset_key (--listen-quic-reset-key, MOQ_LISTEN_QUIC_RESET_KEY) names a file holding at least 32 bytes of it; moq-tokio's backend and the relay's io_uring workers apply it. Unset keeps the random key. Closes moq-dev#5861 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Every holder of the reset secret derives the same reset and connection ID keys, so it resets every other holder's connections. RFC 9000 section 21.11 requires that endpoints sharing a static key always deliver a live connection's packets to the instance holding its state. Live relays behind one address that does not route by connection ID would reset each other's clients, and an off-path attacker could trigger it by spoofing. Relays on different addresses gain nothing, since a client only accepts a reset from the address its token came from. Scope the docs to restarts of the same relay, plus instances behind one address that routes by connection ID. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The stateless reset limit is endpoint-wide and defaults to 20ms, 50 resets a second, so a restarted relay with 2,000 connections needs 40s to reset them and most clients still wait out the idle timeout. reset_secret now lowers it to 1ms, resetting those in 2s. A reset is always smaller than the packet that drew it (RFC 9000 section 10.3), so the lower interval never amplifies, and keeping a limit still caps what a flood of spoofed packets can reflect.

The integration test only exercised the keyed arm. Add the keyless control, which must time out rather than draw a reset, and tighten the bound to 1s: a reset takes one loopback round trip, and the control waits out the whole bound. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

WalkthroughThe change adds shared reset-secret configuration for QUIC endpoints. The secret derives reset and connection-ID keys, and sets the minimum reset interval to 1 ms. Tokio and io_uring relay paths load or receive the secret and apply it to endpoints. Tests cover reset behavior after restart with matching or differing secrets, reset rate limiting, and configuration without a reset key. Priority: ➖ Normal Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to

…g them Rename `listen.reset_key` to `listen.reset_secret` (`--listen-quic-reset-secret`, `MOQ_LISTEN_QUIC_RESET_SECRET`) and parse it like `cluster.lan.secret`: exactly 32 bytes, inline hex or a file holding the hex. The secret type moves from `mdns::Secret` to a shared `secret::Secret`. moq-quic's `reset_secret` and moq-uring's `Config::reset_secret` take `[u8; 32]`, so the minimum-length check and the whitespace trim are gone, and moq-uring's `Config` redacts the secret from `Debug`. Deletes the finished quest. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Both the stateless reset secret and cluster.lan.secret are now paths to a file of 64 hex characters, like listen.tls.key, so an inline secret never lands in shell history or a traced config.

Reject reset secrets when no QUIC backend is built
When moq-tokio is built without the quic feature, for example in an Iroh-only binary, this guard is only reached when Server::build decides the config is stream-only. With no TCP/Unix bind it computes build_quic = true even though the backend is compiled out, so --listen-reset-secret is accepted, its file is never read, and the process runs without the requested restart behavior. Add a no-quic rejection so this unsupported configuration cannot silently succeed.

Fixed in 6af71d1: a build without the quic feature now refuses --listen-reset-secret with NoBackend, next to the existing --listen and --listen-tls-root checks, with a regression test. The same gap exists for preferred_v4/preferred_v6/lb_id on main; that's left as a follow-up.

Problem
Fixes moq-dev/moq#5861. Both drivers use
EndpointConfig::default(), a random reset key per process, so a relay restarted on the same address can't reset its predecessor's connections and clients wait out the idle timeout. The default hashed connection ID generator is keyed per process too, so the restarted server drops those packets as invalid IDs before it would reset them; a stable reset key alone is not enough.Approach
EndpointConfig::reset_secret(&[u8; 32])derives the reset key and the hashed CID generator's key from one secret with HKDF-SHA256. The CID key is a weak FxHash key visible through on-wire CIDs, so the HKDF split keeps it from exposing the reset key. The sharded, QUIC-LB and moq-uring generators already validate a predecessor's IDs.[listen.reset] secret(--listen-reset-secret,MOQ_LISTEN_RESET_SECRET) is a path to a file holding 64 hex characters, likelisten.tls.key. Unset keeps the random key; a stream-only server refuses it.cluster.lan.secretdrops its inline-hex form too, so neither secret lands in shell history,ps, or a traced config. The 32-byte type moves frommdns::Secrettosecret::Secret:Secret::read(path)accepts exactly 64 hex characters plus an optional trailing newline (whatopenssl rand -hex 32 >writes) and fails loud on anything else. ItsDebugprintsSecret([redacted]).quic::endpoint::Config::reset_secret: Option<[u8; 32]>, redacted fromDebug; the relay's io_uring workers share it.reset_secret::a_restarted_server_resets_its_predecessors_connectionscrashes a server (no CONNECTION_CLOSE), restarts it on the same port with the same secret file, and expects a stateless reset. Its control,a_restarted_server_without_the_key_leaves_peers_waiting, restarts with a random key and must time out instead, as on main.reset_secretalso lowersmin_reset_intervalfrom 20ms to 1ms, so a restart resets 2,000 connections in 2s rather than 40s. A reset is always smaller than the packet that drew it, so this never amplifies; keeping a limit still caps spoofed-flood reflection.reset_secret_resets_connections_each_millisecondpins the rate with mocked time.quest/m1/stateless-reset-key.md.Decisions
