Bug Description

[impact]

systemd does not set endpoints for wireguard interfaces correctly. This makes wireguard unusable.

[test case]

install a disco or eoan system and set up a wireguard interface:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wireguard/wireguard
$ sudo apt install wireguard
...(this does a lot of stuff)...

create a file as below; There is no need to setup remote server to reproduce this issue, but PublicKey/PrivateKey should be valid one (used instructions from https://www.linode.com/docs/networking/vpn/set-up-wireguard-vpn-on-ubuntu/#configure-wireguard-server):

$ cat /etc/systemd/network/wg0.netdev
[NetDev]
Name=wg0
Kind=wireguard

[WireGuard]
PrivateKey=uMuCbguKYdKanRYMbDSriIdgxGxJR57Us1zEy8wRc1M=
ListenPort=51820

[WireGuardPeer]
PublicKey=ZRyl+kvb6o2/6Da5YLum6GnSrzDj3J002+2kmK5CnS4=
AllowedIPs=10.0.0.0/8
Endpoint=192.168.1.1:51820

$ sudo systemctl restart systemd-networkd
$ sudo wg show wg0

interface: wg0
  public key: BnvFgvPiVb5xURfzZ5liV1P77qeGeJDIX3C1iNquA2k=
  private key: (hidden)
  listening port: 51820

peer: ZRyl+kvb6o2/6Da5YLum6GnSrzDj3J002+2kmK5CnS4=
  allowed ips: 10.0.0.0/8

the last command should print remote endpoint address, e.g.:

peer: ZRyl+kvb6o2/6Da5YLum6GnSrzDj3J002+2kmK5CnS4=
  endpoint: 192.168.1.1:51820
  allowed ips: 10.0.0.0/8

[regression potential]

any changes to systemd contain the potential for serious regressions. However, this is cherry picked directly from upstream, with the releases requiring patching (disco and eoan) being at exactly the same version and very close to upstream already. Additionally, while this does add 2 new functions (from upstream commit https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/11580/commits/abd48ec87f2ac5dd571a99dcb4db88c4affdffc8), they are only used - and code is only changed in - wireguard.c, so any regressions should be limited to wireguard interfaces (unless systemd crashes completely).

[other info]

this bug is not present in cosmic and earlier, and is already fixed in upstream systemd, so this is needed only for disco and eoan.

Hi all, could the package maintainer(s) please take a look at this?

This breaks (almost) any WireGuard endpoint configured by systemd-networkd. Worse, it breaks them silently, which makes for a fun debugging adventure.

The fixed patch (https://github.com/systemd/systemd-stable/pull/39) has been applied upstream since early February, how did the broken one get backported without testing during a release freeze?

@causeless, @jdoefp, can either of you review my SRU template info, especially the test case section, to make sure it is correct. I've reproduced locally but would like to make sure the steps I mentioned are correct.

Hello Ko-Zu, or anyone else affected,

Accepted systemd into disco-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/240-6ubuntu5.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-disco to verification-done-disco. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-disco. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

disco-proposed fixed it for me as well:
- Clean disco installation.
- Create .netdev file.
- reboot
--> Endpoint is not set.
- Update systemd from disco-proposed.
- reboot

I can confirm this issue with systemd/bionic-updates, now 237-3ubuntu10.39 amd64
Is there a way to get an bionic update as well?

This is very annoying bug, as systemd-networkd intergrates with systemd-resolve and wg-quick does not.

are you sure? The original cause of this bug isn't present in Bionic so if something isn't working for you, it probably is a new bug, not the same as this one.
