For about a year [1], the spec has prescribed encoding channel_updates
with their type prefix (0x0102) in onion failure messages. LND can
decode correctly with or without the prefix but hasn't been writing the
prefix during encoding. This commit starts writing the prefix.
[1] https://github.com/lightning/bolts/pull/979
Fixes a bug where channel update data is read until the end of the stream
rather than stopping after the specified length. This is problematic
when failure message tlv data is present, because this data is interpreted
as channel update tlv data.
This commit changes the WriteElement and WriteElements methods to take a
write buffer instead of io.Writer. The corresponding Encode methods are
changed to use the write buffer.
Extends the invalid payment details failure with the new accept height
field. This allows sender to distinguish between a genuine invalid
details situation and a delay caused by intermediate nodes.
Align naming better with the lightning spec. Not the full name of the
failure (FailIncorrectOrUnknownPaymentDetails) is used, because this
would cause too many long lines in the code.
Methods on failure message types used to be defined on value receivers.
This allowed assignment of a failure message to ForwardingError both as
a value and as a pointer. This is error-prone, especially when using a
type switch.
In this commit the failure message methods are changed so that they
target pointer receivers.
Two instances where a value was assigned instead of a reference are
fixed.
In this commit, we modify the decoding of the FailUnknownPaymentHash
message to ensure we're able to fully decode the legacy serialization of
the onion error. We do this by catching the `io.EOF` error as it's
returned when _no_ bytes are read. If this is the case, then only the
error type was serialized and not also the optional amount.
In this commit, we deprecate the `IncorrectHtlcAmount` onion error.
We'll still decode this error to use when retrying paths, but we'll no
longer send this ourselves. The `UnknownPaymentHash` error has been
amended to also include the value of the payment as well. This allows us
to worry about one less error.
In this commit we fix a compatibility issue with other implementations.
Before this commit, when writing out an onion error that includes a
`ChannelUpdate` we would use the `MaxPayloadLength` to get the length to
encode. However, a recent update has modified that to be the max
`brontide` payload length as it's possible to pad out the message with
optional fields we're unaware of. As a result, we would always write out
a length of 65KB or so. This didn't effect our parser as we ignore the
length and decode the channel update directly as we don't need the
length to do that. However, other implementations depended on the length
rather than just reading the channel update, meaning that they weren't
able to decode our onion errors that had channel updates.
In this commit we fix that by introducing a new
`writeOnionErrorChanUpdate` which will write out the precise length
instead of using the max payload size.
Fixes#2450.
In this commit, we export the ReadElements and WriteElements functions.
We do this as exporting these functions makes it possible for outside
packages to define serializations which use the BOLT 1.0 wire format.
In this commit we add a check to HtlcSatifiesPolicy to verify that the
time lock for the outgoing htlc that is requested in the onion packet
isn't too far in the future.
Without this check, anyone could force an unreasonably long time lock on
the forwarding node.
In this commit, we add a compatibility mode for older version of
clightning to ensure that we're able to properly parse all their channel
updates. An older version of c-lightning would send out encapsulated
onion error message with an additional type byte. This would throw off
our parsing as we didn't expect the type byte, and so we always 2 bytes
off. In order to ensure that we're able to parse these messages and make
adjustments to our path finding, we'll first check to see if the type
byte is there, if so, then we'll snip off two bytes from the front and
continue with parsing. if the bytes aren't found, then we can proceed as
normal and parse the request.
In this commit, we add additional detail in the error return hen were’e
unable to properly decode an encapsulated error. This additional
logging was added with the goal of being able to track down a lingering
bug, where at times lnd cannot decode a TemporaryChannelFailure
message.
This commit updates the encoding/decoding for the onion errors to
properly match BOLT-0004. This commit does to major things: we increase
the max message size to 256 bytes to account for recent modifications
to the ChannelUpdate message, and also fold in the error code into the
failure message encapsulation itself.
In this commit onion routing error from BOLT#4 have been added, the
initial error construction have been splitted on two parts: The first
part which contains the actual data will reside inside the lnwire
package because it contains all necessary function to decode/encode
the data. The second part obfuscation and hmac checking will resides
inside the lighting-onion package because it requires the key
generation.
