Extensive security review of Rust-Lightning codebase #573

Description

@ariard

As we move toward production releases, we should establish a clear scope of the Trusted Computing Base, in the sense than any bugs or vulnerabilities occurring inside TCB might jeopardize user funds, and therefore should have our special care.

Here a non-exhaustive list of Things We Must Get Right:

  • standard/consensus valid transactions
  • sounds and responsive feerate computation for dynamic bumping
  • reorg-safe ChannelMonitor
  • balanced/correcntess of state machine transition
  • enforceable commitment transaction (aka size good enough to propagate)
  • sane channel parameters (max_htlc_value_in_flight, ...)
  • onchain-to-offchain transition
  • safe CLTV deltas
  • efficient timing out HTLCs
  • spec compliance (or argumentation when we diverge)
  • parsing of onchain funds
  • onchain verification of channel points (cf utxo-related LN CVEs)
  • HTLC packet sanitization
  • reasonable default values
  • safe storage of witnessscript/output for unilateral claiming
  • any kind of DoS
  • correctness of funding_signed and funding_tx broadcast sequence
  • hash collision
  • prevent easy channel congestion (within what current spec allows)
  • correct weight computation for static fees
  • ...

For each point,we should a) check if code is correct b) document clearly security significance for future modifications and developers c) have extensive unit/functional/fuzzing/mutating testing coverage.

Compare to #565, which should teach library users on the security model/privacy trade-offs and how to comply with them, this should serve as a starting point for future audit of the codebase. At the end of review process, we should commit a document linking each point to its enforcement in the codebase and its tests.

This is really needed because spec compliance isn't enough to be safe, a lot of security
implications are loosely documented or let to the wisdom of implementers, and assume a good
knowledge of bitcoin first-layer.

(If you any other point we should look on, I invite you to add a comment)

                          Extensive security review of Rust-Lightning codebase #573

                          Description

                          @ariard

                          As we move toward production releases, we should establish a clear scope of the Trusted Computing Base, in the sense than any bugs or vulnerabilities occurring inside TCB might jeopardize user funds, and therefore should have our special care.

                          Here a non-exhaustive list of Things We Must Get Right:

                          • standard/consensus valid transactions
                          • sounds and responsive feerate computation for dynamic bumping
                          • reorg-safe ChannelMonitor
                          • balanced/correcntess of state machine transition
                          • enforceable commitment transaction (aka size good enough to propagate)
                          • sane channel parameters (max_htlc_value_in_flight, ...)
                          • onchain-to-offchain transition
                          • safe CLTV deltas
                          • efficient timing out HTLCs
                          • spec compliance (or argumentation when we diverge)
                          • parsing of onchain funds
                          • onchain verification of channel points (cf utxo-related LN CVEs)
                          • HTLC packet sanitization
                          • reasonable default values
                          • safe storage of witnessscript/output for unilateral claiming
                          • any kind of DoS
                          • correctness of funding_signed and funding_tx broadcast sequence
                          • hash collision
                          • prevent easy channel congestion (within what current spec allows)
                          • correct weight computation for static fees
