stunnel via xinetd and rsync problem
by campbellmc 06 Jun '11

06 Jun '11

Hi, I am having problems getting stunnel to tunnel rsync connections when stunnel is called from xinetd. I can get it to work fine when stunnel is run as a daemon, but when I try rsyncing from the client via xinetd, rsync complains: [root@lambeth ~]# rsync -av --port 2873 192.168.10.130::sanbackup . rsync: server sent "2011.06.06 06:13:56 LOG7[18335:3086816976]: Snagged 64 random bytes from /dev/urandom" rather than greeting rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1296) [receiver=2.6.8] [root@lambeth ~]# It appears that rsync on the client is getting the output of /dev/urandom, and the connection is abandoned. Any suggestions on how to avoid this? stunnel.conf (client): client = yes pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid connect = 192.168.10.240:2873 debug = 7 output = /var/log/stunnel.log accept = 2873 cert = /etc/stunnel/lambeth.pem xinetd config on client for rsync [ssync] service ssync { disable = no port = 2873 socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/stunnel server_args = /etc/stunnel/stunnel-rsync-client.conf log_on_success += USERID log_on_failure += USERID } Any help welcomed!

Help with stunnel.config
by Quad Tran Inc quadtran 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Hello, I am currently using your older product, SSLPROXY 1.1.2, and it is working fine, but I was looking to move to your STUNNEL 4.36. I cannot get the product to work, but that is probably because I have got the 'stunnel.conf' set up improperly. Is it at all possible to send me what the config file should look like if I supplied you with the parameters that I am using successfully with your older product. Current parameters on first session: sslproxy -L192.168.1.1 -l1024 -R192.168.1.2 -r24 -s -c quadCert.pem Current parameters on second session: sslproxy -L192.168.1.1 -l1024 -R192.168.0.2 -r23 -s -c quadCert.pem I would appreciate any help you can give me, and thank you for your time in this matter. Regards, Joe Lisi Quad-Tran of Michigan, Inc.

Slow connection to remote stunnel
by Thorsten Kampe 31 May '11

31 May '11

Hi, I'm using stunnel 4.36 on Linux to secure Samba SWAT. When I connect directly to the remot stunnel port with my browser on Windows 7 (https://swat-server:stunnel-port) I get a long delay after entering my credentials (about 60 seconds or so). This seems to be known issue (for instance see "You will be prompted for the Linux root user username and password. There will be a delay of about 60 to 75 seconds with each login."[1].) I did a Wireshark trace and it seems that the server simply does not respond during that time. But when I connect to the local stunnel client (http://localhost:stunnel-port) the SWAT page displays immediately. Is that "normal". How can I get the same speed without a stunnel client?

stunnel cannot exec SWAT
by Thorsten Kampe 28 May '11

28 May '11

Hi, I'm successfully securing Samba SWAT on Linux with stunnel 4.36. The connection goes like this: browser -> http://localhost:901 (stunnel) -> remote:50901 (xinetd) -> stunnel -> remote:901 (xinetd) -> SWAT. Now I want to remove the xinetd swat file and have stunnel directly call swat: browser -> http://localhost:901 (stunnel) -> remote:50901 (xinetd) -> stunnel -> SWAT I do this by commenting out "connect" and setting exec and execargs (as documented in stunnel's man page): #connect = 901 exec = /usr/sbin/swat execargs = swat Now I get a "Connection closed by remote server" in my browser. The log shows this: [xinetd] START: swat-ssl pid=1026 from=192.168.0.253 [stunnel] Reading configuration from file /etc/stunnel/swat.xconf [stunnel] Could not load DH parameters from /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem [stunnel] Configuration successful [stunnel] No limit detected for the number of clients [stunnel] stunnel 4.36 on i686-pc-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 1.0.0d 8 Feb 2011 [stunnel] Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Auth:LIBWRAP Sockets:POLL, IPv6 [stunnel] Service stunnel accepted connection from 192.168.0.253:60418 [stunnel] SSL accepted: new session negotiated [stunnel] Negotiated ciphers: ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA SSLv3 Kx=ECDH Au=RSA Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA1 [stunnel] connect: Operation now in progress (115) [stunnel] Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket [stunnel] pid=1026 duration=0(sec) [xinetd] EXIT: swat-ssl status=0 pid=1026 duration=0(sec) The successful connection (when xinetd calls swat) looks like this: [xinetd] START: swat-ssl pid=5076 from=192.168.0.253 [everything as above] [stunnel] connect_blocking: connecting 127.0.0.1:901 [xinetd] START: swat pid=5085 from=127.0.0.1 [stunnel] connect_blocking: connected 127.0.0.1:901 [stunnel] Service stunnel connected remote server from 127.0.0.1:47098 [stunnel] SSL_shutdown successfully sent close_notify [stunnel] Connection closed: 288 bytes sent to SSL, 512 bytes sent to socket [xinetd] EXIT: swat status=0 pid=5085 duration=0(sec) [xinetd] EXIT: swat-ssl status=0 pid=5076 duration=0(sec) The only difference I can see is the "connect" in the problem case versus the "connect_blocking" in the success case. Who can shed some light? Thorsten

stunnel doing client cert authentication?
by Johann Smith 24 May '11

24 May '11

Hi, I have stunnel running as an https server. Can stunnel handle/validate client certificates in this mode? How are authentication details forwarded to the http backend, by additional headers? Thank you! Johann

During make of stunnel-4.36 on OSX: "str.c:83: error: thread-local storage not supported for this target"
by SciFi 24 May '11

24 May '11

Hello, During make, I suddenly got this, from the stunnel-4.36 tarball: > str.c:83: error: thread-local storage not supported for this target while it was compiling src/str.c . I'm running MacOSX 10.6.7 with Xcode-3.2.6. I always compile for i386 32-bit mode. (The kernel must be in 32-bit mode for this model iMac, even though most tasks will run in 64-bit mode.) The stunnel-4.34 was built and is (still) running fine here. (I must've skipped -4.35 for some reason.) The src/str.c does seem to be a new module in 4.36, however. I configure stunnel this way: $ ./configure \ --enable-dependency-tracking \ --enable-static \ --enable-shared \ --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl (same configure with 4.34 & 4.36) The configure step found most things, including libwrap etc. They're using the same compiler and other flags etc.: $ $CC --version i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3) […] (I never use a pkg-mgr such as Macports or Fink; besides, they are both now back-level with stunnel.) I'm skeptical in upgrading Xcode to their 4.x series, with Apple's insistence we use the LLVM family there. ;) I'm just a hobbyist, using stunnel to connect Pan to NNTP servers thru their SSL services (including sending this message via Gmane). I am happy with 4.34 in this regard. If it's not too much trouble, though, could someone help further with this problem in 4.36, please? Thank you.

stunnel4 with exec as service for securing pop3
by Jörg-Volker Peetz 23 May '11

23 May '11

I would like to run the stunnel4 daemon in order to provide a pop3s service by using a pop server (solid-pop3d). The following configuration file doesn't work (the pop3 server doesn't start, I think) and I would like to ask for any hints. --stunnel.conf>>> cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel4.pem sslVersion = SSLv3 [pop3s] accept = 995 exec = /usr/sbin/solid-pop3d execargs = solid-pop3d <<<stunnel.conf-- I would expect stunnel4 to start up solid-pop3d every time someone connects to port 995 and communicate to solid-pop3d, just like inetd would do, if configured to serve solid-pop3d. By the way, I have opened the service "pop3s" in /etc/hosts.allow. Thanks in advance for any help. -- Best regards, Jörg-Volker.

stunnel 4.36 compilation problems with Sun Studio compiler
by Ross Richardson 11 May '11

11 May '11

There are several minor problems using the Sun Studion 12 compiler (on Solaris 10 SPARC)... - in str.c, use of STR causes errors because /usr/include/sys/stropts.h contains: #define STR ('S'<<8) The this just requires replacing "STR" with something safer, such as "XSTR". - things fail horribly because SIZEOF_UNSIGNED_CHAR and friends get defined to 0. AFAICT, this happens because configure erroneously decides that cc suports -pendantic (which it appears to, but which causes linking to fail with the symbol "mcount" undefined). The following patch works around this: Index: configure --- configure.orig 2011-05-03 08:14:28.000000000 +1000 +++ configure 2011-05-04 13:51:53.785750000 +1000 @@ -4210,7 +4210,7 @@ cat confdefs.h - <<_ACEOF >conftest.$ac_ /* end confdefs.h. */ int main() {return 0;} _ACEOF -if ac_fn_c_try_compile "$LINENO"; then : +if ac_fn_c_try_link "$LINENO"; then : { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: yes" >&5 $as_echo "yes" >&6; } else - the compiler also gives warnings for the '\r' characters in version.h Hope this helps, rlr -- Ross L Richardson <URL:mailto:[email protected]> Senior Systems Administrator Phone : +61 (0)3 6226 6233 Information Technology Resources Fax : +61 (0)3 6226 7171 University of Tasmania, AUSTRALIA

stunnel high load and lower network I/O yields
by jay＠experts-exchange.com 10 May '11

10 May '11

Folks, We are finding a bottleneck with stunnel for video intensive apps where it will run with weighted CPU near 120% and network interface will yield 30.3Mb, whereas without stunnel the rates will top off near 53.1Mb during the 10 second intervals as reported by iftop. The peaks are higher, but this is not sustained for either case. In order to improve stunnel's performance, is it possible to use a less intensive compute processing encryption, or fork the stunnel per connection? Thanks

I'll have to organise myself to build so I can apply the patch. Can I be really cheeky and ask one more question? Why does the problem not go away when my resolver is available - Shouldn't stunnel look again for this stuff after getting a temporary error? Thanks again, Phil

Patch for XMPP in client mode
by Philipp Hartwig 05 May '11

05 May '11

Hi, I've attached a small patch which adds support for the XMPP protocol in client mode. It does pretty much what Brian Hatch has outlined under [1]. I've tested it with several Jabber servers and it seems to work nicely. I'd be very happy about any comments. Regards, Philipp [1] http://stunnel.mirt.net/pipermail/stunnel-users/2009-February/002278.html

transparent = source, stunnel connect always times out
by Robert Hardy 05 May '11

05 May '11

I've been fighting with stunnel, trying to get its transparent proxy support to work. No matter what I do, as soon as transparent = source support is turned on, tests with my mail client just time out. If I turn transparent proxy support off it works but appears as if connections are from localhost, which is undesirable. My goal is to have stunnel listen on *:465 and provide SSL protected connectivity, which appear to arrive from the remote client IP, on my mail server's external IP address on port 25. My mail server and the firewall with the rules on it are the same physical machine. Can someone please make some suggestions as to what else I can try to get this working? I'm running Linux 2.6.38 on a current CentOS/rhel5 box and I've got modules built for most netfilter options, including: NF_CONNTRACK=m NETFILTER_TPROXY=m NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_SOCKET=m NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_TPROXY=m /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter = 0 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward = 1 This is my stunnel config: cert = /etc/stunnel/assps.crt key = /etc/stunnel/assps.key pid = /var/run/stunnel/stunnel_smtps.pid verify = 0 debug = 7 output = /var/log/stunnel_smtps.log TIMEOUTconnect = 60 [smtps] accept = 465 connect = MY_EXTERNAL_IP:25 transparent = source My stunnel seems happy with the DH Parameters in my cert file.

Hi Laurent, Good to see you figured out the issue. I also learned more things myself. Thanks Jose ! To my knowledge cipher suites that use SHA2 are part of the TLS 1.2 specification but I don't think OpenSSL has that implemented.

But that's not the problem here. It should work as is. Mosty likely the problem is on the client SSL software you are using to connect to stunnel. The cipher you are trying to use DESC-CBC-SHA works with SSLv3 and TLSv1. Can you force your client to use those protocols? Maybe it is trying to negotiate SSLv2. Also are you sure it is speaking SSL instead of plain text? You can test your connection to stunnel server with openssl s_client command.

I see an stunnel server configuration. In this case, your stunnel is a front-end to a service you run on host XXXX port 10016. What is that service? Is stunnel running on the same host? Note that If stunnel is not running on the same host with IP XXXX, then you may have some traffic in clear text in your network (from the device running stunnel to the device hosting the service on port 10016). You need a client to connect to the stunnel server. Unless your client support SSL natively, you also should have an stunnel running on your client device with entries like these: client=yes [pestip] accept = 10443 connect = Your-Stunnel-server-IP:10443 In this case your client apps connects locally to port 10443, traffic is encrypted and sent to your server listening on port 10443, where it is decripted and send to IP XXXX port 10016.

Laurent, Everything looks fine to me. Your were connected to the server using SSLv3 and AES256-SHA ciphers. The zlib error can be ignored. Message "Verify return code: 21 (unable to verify the first certificate)" indicates that openssl s_client was unable to verify the server certificate. You can get rid of this by giving the CAPath in the paremters and making sure the verisign root Ca cert is there.

Laurent, I'm not sure you are connecting the dots right. I see an stunnel server configuration. In this case, your stunnel is a front-end to a service you run on host XXXX port 10016. What is that service? Is stunnel running on the same host? Note that If stunnel is not running on the same host with IP XXXX, then you may have some traffic in clear text in your network (from the device running stunnel to the device hosting the service on port 10016).

Hi, If you have control of both ends of the connection make sure your SSL version is consistent on both sides. I would not recomend using sslVersion = all Either set it to SSLv3 or TLSv1 DES-CBC-SHA is supported under those However, judging for the cipher you are choosing I assume you might be dealing with a legacy application and you might not have access to both ends of the connection. I would try setting only one version at the time and moving down from TLSv1, SSLv3 and SSLv2 sslVersion = ciphers = DES-CBC-SHA Cheers ----------------- Leandro Avila ________________________________ From: "laurent.uk(a)bnpparibas.com" <laurent.uk(a)bnpparibas.com> To: josealf(a)rocketmail.com Cc: stunnel-users(a)stunnel.org; stunnel-users-bounces(a)stunnel.org Sent: Tuesday, May 3, 2011 10:48 AM Subject: [stunnel-users] Réf. : Re: need help error :SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong versionnumber with cipher DES-CBC-SHA Dear Jose, here is the configuration file of my stunnel : ; Sample stunnel configuration file by Michal Trojnara 2002-2006 ; Some options used here may not be adequate for your particular configuration ; Please make sure you understand them (especially the effect of chroot jail) ; Certificate/key is needed in server mode and optional in client mode cert = /opt/freeware/etc/stunnel/ca_nopass.pem foreground = yes syslog = yes ; Protocol version (all, SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1) ;sslVersion = SSLv2 sslVersion = all ;ciphers = DES-CBC-SHA ;ciphers = DES-CBC3-SHA:IDEA-CBC-MD5 ; Some security enhancements for UNIX systems - comment them out on Win32 ;chroot = /usr/local/stunnel/var/lib/stunnel ;chroot = /tmp/ ;setuid = root ;setgid = other ; PID is created inside chroot jail pid = /var/adm/stunnel_server_level1.pid ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ;compression = rle ; Workaround for Eudora bug ;options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS ;options = Options_SSL ; Authentication stuff verify = 3 ; Don't forget to c_rehash CApath ; CApath is located inside chroot jail CApath = /opt/freeware/etc/stunnel/CA_files/ ; It's often easier to use CAfile ;CAfile = /opt/freeware/etc/stunnel/ca.pem ; Don't forget to c_rehash CRLpath ; CRLpath is located inside chroot jail ;CRLpath = /crls ; Alternatively you can use CRLfile ;CRLfile = /usr/local/stunnel/etc/stunnel/crls.pem ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting debug = 7 ; Use it for client mode client = no ; Service-level configuration [pesitip] accept = 10443 connect = XXXXXXX:10016 Thanks for your help.

Re: [stunnel-users] Temporary failure in name resolution (Michal Trojnara)

29 Apr '11

I attach two strace reports, strace-good shows a successful use, strace-bad shows it failing after a reboot. In both cases I just telnet to localhost 55899, which gives the smtp server's banner in the good case. ltrace craps out with a [pid 1107] +++ killed by SIGTRAP +++ in both cases, and doesn't show anything useful. These are WITHOUT the suggested patch, I am not really equipped for building on this server. Phil

Laurent, By installing a certificate (to CApath or CAfile), you express your trust in the certificate. For the client certificates, you could either o implicitly trust all certificates signed by an installed CA certificate and not yet revoked (verify=2), or o explicitly trust installed client certificates (verify=3). In both cases, all installed certificates are fully trusted. Cross-checking a trusted (client-) certificate against an other trusted (CA-) certificate does not raise security or trustworthiness. In order to revoke a client certificate in verify=3 mode, just uninstall it.

Delay before sending server hello
by Dan Price 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

I am using stunnel to accept TLS connections. I'm opening eight connections at virtually the same time, and occasionally see that for one of the connections, the handshake does not complete - stunnel does not send the server hello, and the client usually resets the connection. I did manage to capture one instance where stunnel sends the server hello, but it is delayed by over a minute. I upgraded to version 4.35, and I see the same behavior. I set debug=debug, and captured what I think are the relevant logs (through write server hello). I kept the logs for the successful connection (59924) that came in after the failed one (59923).

Does stunnel support startTLS?
by Markus Borst 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

Stunnel supports encryption in the "old" ssl style extra port configuration (i.e. imaps on port 993) where the encryption is negotiated immediately upon start of the connection. Does stunnel also support the startTLS method? i.e. a clear text connection is established (imap on port 143) and one of the first imap commands is startTLS, which negotiates the encryption and protects the connection from that time onwards. I know that supporting startTLS is a lot harder, since it means sniffing commands in the higher level protocol, but we need it nevertheless. (In fact, our imap server does support startTLS, but it does _not_ support importing an external certificate, which is why I'm looking for an external solution.) From reading the documentation I'm not sure whether stunnel supports startTLS, there are a few option descriptions which might point to startTLS, but I'm not sure. Anybody knows the definite answer?

Patch to enhance verify=3 with SHA-1 check
by Philipp Hartwig 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

As indicated in a previous mail to this list I was surprised by the following behavior: With "verify=3" stunnel doesn't compare the peer's certificate with the locally installed certificate for actual equality but it only checks whether they have the same subject. The recent Comodo incident[1] has shown that it is not impossible to get a certificate which matches the subject of the certificate of some interesting server and is signed by a trusted CA. That's why I was interested in a stricter form of verification (at least in client mode). I have attached a small patch, derived from code in the file "mutt_ssl.c" of the Mutt[2] mail client, which adds a check for equality of SHA-1 hashes to the "verify=3" certificate check. I mainly wrote it for personal use but maybe someone else will find it useful or has some comments. Regards, Philipp [1] http://blog.mozilla.com/security/2011/03/25/comodo-certificate-issue-follow… [2] http://www.mutt.org/

Those with the ".crl" extension, I suppose ;-) You'll need to look for the CRLs matching the certificates you want to use. Note, there may be CRLs for intermediate certificates too. At least (the randomly selected) Class3SoftwarePublishers.crl seems to be in DES format, you might have to convert it to PEM for use with stunnel.

If you are using verify=3, stunnel checks client certificates against the set of certificates in CApath or CAfile, not against CAs and CRLs. In order to have stunnel check the certificate chain of client certificates, you'll have to use verify=2. For that, stunnel needs access to the CA's root certificate and the intermediate certificates (i.e. they have to be locally installed to CApath/CAfile). > Secondally, i need to download and update the crl files, and also (if it's > possible) the certificates of knowed CA.

For VeriSign, my first idea is to use wget to download them from http://crl.verisign.com. There may be better ways, though. And I don't know AIX.

You could also store the client's certificates in PEM format files (one file per certificate) in a directory stunnel can reach at connection time. You have to specify the name of this directory as CApath then (in contrast to CAfile), and you'll have to run c_rehash on this directory.

Temporary failure in name resolution
by Phil Wieland 26 Apr '11

26 Apr '11

I think I've done something stupid but I can't work out what. I'm running stunnel4 version 4.29 on an Ubuntu server box, using it to tunnel smtp connections to my ISP's mail server. Everything works perfectly until I reboot the server, when it stops working. In syslog, I get: Apr 24 15:56:11 friedbread stunnel: LOG5[1101:3074997104]: ssmtp accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:50681 Apr 24 15:56:11 friedbread stunnel: LOG3[1101:3074997104]: Error resolving 'smtp.blueyonder.co.uk': Temporary failure in name resolution (EAI_AGAIN) Apr 24 15:56:11 friedbread stunnel: LOG3[1101:3074997104]: No host resolved Apr 24 15:56:11 friedbread stunnel: LOG5[1101:3074997104]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket every time I attempt to send mail. I can ping smtp.blueyonder.co.uk no problem. The problem persists until I restart stunnel4, after which it works perfectly for weeks on end. Looking at syslog for boot time, it looks like stunnel tries to resolve smtp.blueyonder.co.uk as soon as it starts, but dhcp hasn't finished at this time so it fails. It seems to cache something from the failure and not try again? Even though the error is "Temporary". All advice gratefully received.

Possible leak in client.c:init_ssl()
by Sven Ulland 16 Apr '11

16 Apr '11

Quick summary: Stunnel 4.35 configured with four services. As clients connect, the main stunnel process grows a lot in vsz/rss memory. With a lot of clients connecting, it quickly grows to several gigabytes rss. The use case is quite special: The multithreaded download accelerator 'axel' is used to download large files using 800 simultaneous threads. The downloads are from China, so the network performance is horrible, and connections are reset/broken all the time, so there is lots of new connections created constantly. Up to four axel instances run at the same time, so we're talking 3200 simultaneous connections. Over a short 2h timespan, nearly 30000 connections have been set up (ref attached stunnel.log). The memory use increases over time, often in very large steps. As connections finish and the transfers stop (i.e. no active connections at all), the memory is not released. A similar issue was reported in 2008 [1]. Attached are the following files: stunnel.conf: Four services, no special config. Debug level 5. massif.out.excerpt.txt: Valgrind Massif output. The Massif log indicates that most of the memory is allocated through client.c:init_ssl(), by libssl and zlib. I haven't looked too much at the code yet, but could this be related to the high rate of connection resets/timeouts, combined with connection/session reuse? sven [1]: possible stunnel memory leak Message-ID: <47E8E0AD.8010709(a)eu.citrix.com> http://www.stunnel.org/pipermail/stunnel-users/2008-March/001903.html

Re: [stunnel-users] Weird error when trying to use 512bit RSA key
by Leandro Avila 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

The problem seems to be the key size If you use a 512 key for stunnel it works However, when the key used by stunnel is 1024 and you try to use the EXP-RC4-MD5 cipher, a temporary 512 key is generated BUT that fails. So I tested: Stunnel 4.35 and OpenSSL 1.0.0d Using a 512 RSA key and EXP-RC4-MD5 works Using a 1025 RSA key and EXP-RC4-MD5 fails Looks more like an OpenSSL thing. I'm uncertain about how this situation is handled in the protocol spec. When the server has a 1024 key but the client wants to negotiate with a smaller key.

The verify=3 option in client mode
by Philipp Hartwig 09 Apr '11

09 Apr '11

Hello, I'm using stunnel in client mode to provide an SSL connection for offlineimap[1] which does not support verification of SSL certificates. As I've read stunnel does not compare the name of the server offering the certificate to the server name mentioned in the certificate (in the CN field for example). So if I used the following section in my stunnel.conf client=yes [imaps] accept = 127.0.0.1:4322 connect = imap.gmail.com:993 CAfile = /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/Equifax_Secure_CA.crt verify = 2 stunnel would happily accept any certificate signed by Equifax for an arbitrary website. Is this correct? So I've switched to using the verify=3 option and I just want to make sure I configured it correctly. I'm now using the following section client=yes [imaps] accept = 127.0.0.1:4322 connect = imap.gmail.com:993 CAfile= /home/ph/.certs/imaps.pem verify = 3 imaps.pem is a file containing two certificates, namely the first and the last certificate in the certificate chain of imap.gmail.com, that is the Equifax CA certificate and the server certificate itself. I then use offlineimap to establish an unencrypted connection to 127.0.0.1:4322. My understanding is that stunnel will now exclusively accept the server certificate stored in the imaps.pem file rendering all MITM attacks impossible. I'd be grateful if someone could confirm that this setup makes sense. Is this the way the verify=3 option is supposed to use? First I thought that it should be enough to just provide the server certificate in the imaps.pem file, but then openssl would complain about a self-signed certificate, so I included the CA certificate as well. Regards, Philipp [1] https://github.com/jgoerzen/offlineimap/wiki/

Is local mode on WIN32 working?
by Joerg Behrend 09 Apr '11

09 Apr '11

The changelog of stunnel 4.33 states that "Experimental support for local mode on WIN32 platform" is working and that should be tried exec = c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe In practice, it is for me not working, a connection is accepted but always reset with the stunnel log message: readsocket: Connection reset by peer (WSAECONNRESET) (10054) It was tested using the 4.35 Windows installer. Are there other requirements or settings necessary? Is a recompilation with special options senseful? Thanks! Joerg

issue making stunnel 4.35 use an apache http proxy to go out?
by Matt Wise 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

I've got an Apache proxy on port 3128 that will allow our clients to get outbound with a 'CONNECT" to a few services.. I'm trying to make stunnel use this service, and it seems to be ignoring my configuration completely. Tcpdumps show NO packets going outbound on port 3128... any ideas what i'm doing wrong?

STunnel server handshake fails
by John C. Kadyk 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

I'm trying to set up STunnel so our non-SSL network scanner can email scans through our email server, which requires TLS. A desktop email client with the same server/port settings can send email OK. I think I have STunnel configured correctly, but there's a handshake failure when it tries to connect to the server. STunnel seems to be attempting an SSLv3 connection even though I turned that option off in the config file. I want to force it to use TLS but not sure how to do that. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Here's the config file: cert = stunnel.pem ;key = stunnel.pem ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ; Workaround for Eudora bug ;options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS options = NO_SSLv2 options = NO_SSLv3 ;

Can't get transparent mode to work from remote IP
by Ben Schmidt 02 Apr '11

02 Apr '11

Hello stunnel Mailinglist, I'm new to stunnel and so far it works just fine. What impressed me the most is that is faster then Apache's mod_ssl. My only Problem is that I can't get stunnel to work in transparent mode. When I try to access it from a remote IP I get timeouts connecting to the Non-SSL Server. I'm prettymuch relying on the manual in section "transparent": http://www.stunnel.org/static/stunnel.html Scenario: local 10.0.0.0/22 > Server with stunnel (10.0.3.48/22) > local apache My config: http://pastebin.com/BQmXeT5b Log: http://pastebin.com/enQTAWB9 "stunnel -sockets": http://pastebin.com/Zbz9FTr6 "iptables -L -v": http://pastebin.com/0b90Nay8 executing iptables, again: http://pastebin.com/T87cGPBX The apache listening on port 80 reporting hits from the Computers private IP but not from any remote IPs in the same network. Firewalls and stuff like that are not the Problem. The remote Computer can access port 80 without any Problems and it works fine when I switch from stunnel to apaches mod_ssl. My Testsetup is using 4.29 on ubuntu 10.10 GNU/Linux amd64 with kernel 2.6.35 and OpenSSL 0.9.8o Could anybody please point me in the rigth direction, I know that I'm missing something but I just can't figure it out. Thanks a lot, Ben

stunnel maximum clients to server
by bruce bushby 26 Mar '11

26 Mar '11

Hi I'm about to add stunnel to my buildroot embedded project (ARM926EJ-S) and I was hoping the list could answer a few performance questions? I've been looking for a way to encrypt the connections between my embedded units and my server. From what I understood about openvpn, the server starts to give problems beyond 1024 "concurrent sessions" .... I'm looking at a design that can handle 4K concurrent sessions....although it'll take a few years to get that big. My embedded devices have a GSM modem and setup a ppp0 interface over gprs. I'm considering stunnel in the hope that I could have up to 3000 stunnel connections coming into my servers. I say 3K because by the tike I reach this figure I hope to have implemented better switches and off load the overhead of the encrypted connection to the switch. The requirement is that the embedded "non-ssl aware client" will be able to communicate with the server over a secure tunnel. Am I completely on the wrong road? .... could stunnel cater for something like this? Thanks in advance!

Certificate request popup when clicking on MS Office links in a stunnel HTTPS redirect to Domino HTTP server?
by Josiah Fizer 25 Mar '11

25 Mar '11

We have a Lotus Domino server hosting some Microsoft Office documents. For improved security, I started using stunnel to redirect pacts from the HTTP servers via HTTPS. Everything works perfectly, however when a user clicks a document link they are prompted for login credentials or a certificate. This would seem to be because MS Office is trying to open the remote document in edit mode rather then downloading it locally or opening it in read mode. I've tried a number of stunnel configuration options but nothing seems to work. At current I am using the following simple configuration. Any insight into the issue would be appreciated. cert = stunnel.pem socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 verify=0 [https] accept = 443 connect = localhost:80 TIMEOUTclose = 0

Re: [stunnel-users] Windows Firewall has blocked some features of thisprogram

Hi Josealf, Thank you for your response and for this information. Is there a VB script or other method I can use for this purpose? I use a signed Java applet to download, install, and execute stunnel, but can insert a step to run a VB or other script on the host prior. I suspect the stunnel installer may do this already, but after looking, did not see anything. Thank you > You can add the required firewall exceptions as part of your installation > tasks.

Windows Firewall has blocked some features of this program
by jay＠experts-exchange.com 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Folks, While bundling stunnel with my user application, upon kick off I see this error message.*1 Is there a way to avoid this security warning? I am trying to figure out if signing the binaries will escape this situation, or if it is related to the binary not containing a string table. I investigated linking the win32 binary with MS Visual Studio 2005 to see if the presence of the version string info in the binary would help*2, but so far I have been unable to directly link. I originally built stunnel using cygwin's mingw32-gcc*3, so linking using MSDEV is not too easy.*4 Thanks Refs: *1 "Windows Security Alert.

stunnel in DMZ : accept=22 / connect=other.server.net:22 - gets stuck! - need help!

Hi I use stunnel on a DMZ server for tunnelling/forwarding/proxying... (whatever term is correct). The situation is as follows: Hardware : External PC <==> DMZ server <==> company-internal server Operational : https://xxx.yy.zz (443) <==> (443) stunnel (80) <==> (80) SVN Server listening on port 80 NEW/NEED HELP : plink (22) <==> (22) stunnel (22) <==> (22) sshd listening on port 22 stunnel.conf (on the DMZ server) looks like this: cert = my_tunnel.pem key = my_tunnel.pem socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = a:SO_REUSEADDR=0 debug = 7 output = C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel\stunnel.log ;client = yes [forward_443_to_80] accept = 443 connect = my.company-server.net:80 [forward_22] accept = 22 connect = my.company-server.net:22 NOTE: Forwarding 443 to my.company-server.net:80 => WORKS FINE! NOW I try SSH with my PC connected to the company's network (without hopping at the DMZ): "plink -A -v -l username -i cert_file -P 22 dmz-server-name.net" => THIS WORKS FINE! NOW I try SSH with my PC from external network (which needs hopping at the DMZ): "plink -A -v -l username -i cert_file -P 22 dmz-server-name.net" Firewalls and ports seem to be open. The stunnel.log looks like this: <<starting stunnel service>> 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG5[4772:3852]: Reading configuration from file stunnel.conf 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: Snagged 64 random bytes from C:/.rnd 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: Wrote 1024 new random bytes to C:/.rnd 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: PRNG seeded successfully 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG6[4772:3852]: Could not load DH parameters from my_tunnel.pem 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: ECDH initialized 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: Certificate: my_tunnel.pem 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: Certificate loaded 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: Key file: my_tunnel.pem 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: Private key loaded 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: SSL context initialized for service forward_443_to_80 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG6[4772:3852]: Could not load DH parameters from my_tunnel.pem 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: ECDH initialized 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: Certificate: my_tunnel.pem 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: Certificate loaded 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: Key file: my_tunnel.pem 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: Private key loaded 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: SSL context initialized for service forward_22 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG5[4772:3852]: Configuration successful 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG5[4772:3852]: No limit detected for the number of clients 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: accept socket: FD=168 allocated (non-blocking mode) 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: Option SO_REUSEADDR set on accept socket 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: Service forward_443_to_80 bound to 0.0.0.0:443 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: Service forward_443_to_80 opened FD=168 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: accept socket: FD=280 allocated (non-blocking mode) 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: Option SO_REUSEADDR set on accept socket 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: Service forward_22 bound to 0.0.0.0:22 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG7[4772:3852]: Service forward_22 opened FD=280 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG5[4772:3852]: stunnel 4.35 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu with OpenSSL 1.0.0c 2 Dec 2010 2011.03.17 15:27:09 LOG5[4772:3852]: Threading:WIN32 SSL:ENGINE Sockets:SELECT,IPv6 <<calling plink...>> 2011.03.17 15:27:26 LOG7[4772:4208]: local socket: FD=320 allocated (non-blocking mode) 2011.03.17 15:27:26 LOG7[4772:4208]: Service forward_22 accepted FD=320 from 123.4.5.6:2950 2011.03.17 15:27:26 LOG7[4772:4208]: Creating a new thread 2011.03.17 15:27:26 LOG7[4772:4208]: New thread created 2011.03.17 15:27:26 LOG7[4772:4756]: Service forward_22 started 2011.03.17 15:27:26 LOG7[4772:4756]: Option TCP_NODELAY set on local socket 2011.03.17 15:27:26 LOG5[4772:4756]: Service forward_22 accepted connection from 123.4.5.6:2950 2011.03.17 15:27:26 LOG7[4772:4756]: SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization <<and here it gets stuck!!!!!!!>> plink says: Looking up host "dmz-server-name.net" Connecting to 123.12.1.1 port 22 <<and here it gets stuck!!!!!!!>> PLEASE HELP!!!

Hello all, I am using stunnel in order to send encrypted http request/response messages to an external system called Tradeweb. Our python program sends the message to stunnel and stunnel sends it to Tradeweb through a proxy. My version of stunnel is the following stunnel 4.35 on sparc-sun-solaris2.10 with OpenSSL 0.9.8r 8 Feb 2011 and it has been installed in a Solaris 10 operating system. My configuration file looks like this CAfile=/home/aps/tfk/stunnel/etc/stunnel/tradeweb_ca.cer client=yes verify=2 debug=7 output=stunnel.log [TradeXpress] # Port on which STUNNEL listens for local connections accept=stunnelserveripaddress:17000 # Destination address and port of TW data-center libwrap=no connect=proxyipaddress:80 protocol=connect protocolHost=tradewebipaddress:443 I have a python program that sends a http post message to stunnel.

Stunnel configuration for multiple domains on single IP
by Amol 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

I was trying to configure stunnel to work for multiple domains on the same IP address, just wanted to know how to configure stunnel to listen on different ports? has anyone done it yet? [https-lo] cert=/etc/stunnel/ssl/group-cert.pem key = /etc/stunnel/ssl/lo.key accept=x.x.x.x:443 connect=x.xxx.xx.11:8000 TIMEOUTclose=0 xforwardedfor=yes [https-lo2] cert=/etc/stunnel/ssl/group2-cert.pem key = /etc/stunnel/ssl/lo2.key accept=xx.xx.xx.xx:444 connect=x.xxx.xx.11:80 TIMEOUTclose=0 xforwardedfor=yes but i still get this error when i access the second domain (lo2) (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

Periodic stunnel 4.34 core dumps on AIX 5.3
by Allex, Paul M (USA E D EA STS) 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Hello, I have noticed that stunnel will periodically core dump on AIX 5.3. My configuration: stunnel 4.34 AIX 5.3 OpenSSL 0.9.8m After some initial investigation, I did find the following post about stunnel core dumps on AIX 5.3: http://www.stunnel.org/pipermail/stunnel-users/2007-April/001528.html Some of the core dumps were definitely due to this issue, so I rebuilt stunnel using the steps outlined in the post. Now I do not see the stack overflow core dumps, however I am still seeing other cores. These cores have little to no valuable information in them, so I do not have a lot to go off of. The one thing I have noticed is that stunnel seems to be consuming more and more memory over time. I set up several tests to see what would be causing this. Tests: 1. Send large amounts of data through stunnel using a simple client and server. This seemed to have no affect on the long term memory usage of stunnel. 2. Repeatedly create and drop connections to stunnel. For this I wrote a short script that simply creates a connection to stunnel using telnet in a a tight loop. I did not start anything for the stunnel instance to connect to, so telnet would create a connection and get it closed immediately. telnet --> stunnel --> nothing The process started with a size of 836 KB and seems to increase by about .1 to .2 KB per connection. $ count=1; while true; do tn localhost 10500; echo $count; count=$(( count + 1 )); done Trying... Escape character is '^T'. Connection closed. 1 ... Trying... Connected to loopback. Escape character is '^T'. Connection closed. 15475 Trying... Connected to loopback. Escape character is '^T'. Connection closed. 15476 Trying... Connected to loopback. Escape character is '^T'. Connection closed. 15477 $ monitor_process test_stunnel Size: 836 ... Size: 2556 Size: 2564 Size: 2564 Size: 2564 Size: 2568 Size: 2572 Size: 2572 Size: 2592 I have not dug into the code yet, so I suppose that will be my next task. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions on what else to look at, I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Paul Allex

I let the connection/memory script run over night and it appears that stunnel's memory usage has plateaued at 131,432 KB. I'm not sure how many connections had occurred when the memory usage leveled of, but currently there have been over 1.7 million connections to stunnel. I guess for now, please don't waste any time on this issue until I gather more information. Paul Allex

This is certainly not what I would have guessed the message in the log meant. It looks like an error from stunnel. So is it an error from stunnel or is it stunnel reporting a complaint from the server? And if the latter, what exactly did the server send? The entire message starting with error? or starting with 14094412? or what? Could this mean that the server doesn't understand the certificate (cause it's a 2K certificate instead of 1K?) or could it mean that the server doesn't like it for some other reason?

Here's my command curl -E /root/key-cert https://ewsg-cert.prudent... and the result: curl: (35) error:14094412:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert bad certificate This seems weird to me: Note that this certificate is the private key and the private certificate concatenated! I assume the private certificate is just the certificate. In any case my file key-cert looks like -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- ... -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ... -----END CERTIFICATE----- What does the error above mean and what could I possibly be doing wrong to cause it?

forcing my untangle server to scan my https traffic
by Bing H Bang 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

I'm so close to making this work, I can taste it. I also need some suggestions on how to fix the last hurdle. My setup 10.0.0.10 ip of my webserver 24.159.165.122 static ip of my untangle server (router mode) untangle server port forwards 443 to 10.0.0.10:10443 80 to 10.0.0.10:80 (web server only listens on 443) stunnel config file on the web server [https-terminate] client = no cert = /var/lib/stroot/cypherdog.com.pem accept = 10.0.0.10:10443 connect = 24.159.165.122:80 [https-re-engage] client = yes accept = 10.0.0.10:80 connect = 10.0.0.10:443 What I'm trying to do is accept https traffic, decrypt it, pass it through untangle, then encrypt it back as it gets delivered to the https port of the web server. This setup works in that I can point my browser at the https port of my untangle server and the web pages work properly. What doesn't work is the untangle server shows no scanning activity when I access the web pages. I think the path webserver->untangle->webserver does not trigger the scanning in untangle because the traffic it sees is from an internal ip going to the same internal ip. Is there a way to fix this, anyone?

Problems SSLifying an "exec" Service without KeepAlive
by Jochen Bern 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Hello everyone, today I tried to set up network access to a service using stunnel 4.35. The underlying service, by default, exits after every request+reply. When running stunnel in daemon mode, this seems to upset things such that subsequent connections hang. I cannot quite pinpoint whether it's a config problem, design (of my setup) problem, or bug, so any help's welcome ... More info: The underlying service accesses a Nagios' livestatus interface > http://mathias-kettner.de/checkmk_livestatus.html#H1:Remote%20access%20to%2… using the "unixcat" tool provided. Unless you specifically request connection keepalives, unixcat will close/exit after answering one request, *or* timing out waiting for one. That "exit procedure", AFAICT, isn't different from what the imapd or pppd in the stunnel(8) manpage's EXAMPLES section do ... I need to secure access to the service, so I'm throwing client cert verification and libwrap at the connections. The current daemon mode configuration (with several commented-out attempts) reads, slightly anonymized: client=no verify=3 pid=/var/run/stunnel/livestatus.pid #setuid=stunnel #socket = a:SO_REUSEADDR=0 #foreground= yes [livestatus] accept = [...PORT...] cert = [...SERVER...].pem key = [...SERVER...].key CAfile = [...CA...].pem CApath = [...TempStagingDirectory...] exec = /usr/local/bin/unixcat execargs = unixcat /var/lib/nagios3/rw/live pty = yes retry = no session = 3 #TIMEOUTclose = 0 #TIMEOUTbusy = 5 #TIMEOUTidle = 5 After starting the stunnel daemon, I can perform *one* normal connection: > # openssl s_client -CAfile [...CA...].pem -showcerts \ > > -connect [...SERVER...]:[...PORT...] -cert [...CLIENT...].cert \ > > -key [...CLIENT...].key -state > CONNECTED(00000003) > SSL_connect:before/connect initialization > SSL_connect:SSLv2/v3 write client hello A > SSL_connect:SSLv3 read server hello A [...] > SSL handshake has read 1743 bytes and written 1933 bytes > --- > New, TLSv1/SSLv3, Cipher is AES256-SHA > Server public key is 1024 bit > Compression: NONE > Expansion: NONE > SSL-Session: > Protocol : TLSv1 > Cipher : AES256-SHA > Session-ID: 1B4221E2917E3BD49AA2102C2CCE60A624DB256D6B4D61F9D0D77EA843DC31BC > Session-ID-ctx: > Master-Key: 57E6DF8E7E0A741B718E356467450DD00969465295A9C6FE03416ED16E74AF93058EC168EF6DF1B9F3F637F505FF6EF4 > Key-Arg : None > Start Time: 1298390481 > Timeout : 300 (sec) > Verify return code: 0 (ok) > --- At that point, I can type in one request, then unixcat terminates, stunnel closes the connection and s_client (?) reports: > read:errno=104 Typical log output on the server side: > LOG5[30042:139819109037792]: Reading configuration from file /etc/stunnel/livestatus.conf > LOG5[30042:139819109037792]: Peer certificate location [...TempStagingDirectory...] > LOG5[30042:139819109037792]: Configuration successful > LOG5[30042:139819109037792]: No limit detected for the number of clients > LOG5[30043:139819109037792]: stunnel 4.35 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007 > LOG5[30043:139819109037792]: Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6 [...] > LOG5[30043:1075198288]: Service livestatus accepted connection from [...CLIENT...]:39287 > LOG5[30043:1075198288]: Certificate accepted: depth=1, [...CA...] > LOG5[30043:1075198288]: Certificate accepted: depth=0, [...CLIENT...] > LOG3[30043:1075198288]: readsocket: Input/output error (5) > LOG5[30043:1075198288]: Connection reset: 2293 bytes sent to SSL, 33 bytes sent to socket Rerunning the exact same command stops dead after the > CONNECTED(00000003) and manually "telnet"ing to the port from a different host doesn't behave in a normal way (closing the connection after I type the first line of non-SSL stuff) anymore, either. Running the unixcat command from a local command line, however, still works normally. I tried running stunnel off inetd, which seems to work, so I'd guess it's the server-side SSL session cacheing which interferes. However, I don't see any related stunnel config keywords in the manpage, and stunnel offering a cached session to a connection *from a different client host* sound odd to me, too ... ?

New and Utterly Confused on Ubuntu Linux
by Traps 20 Feb '11

20 Feb '11

I am totally new to stunnel and am quite confused. I use Ubuntu 10.04 and have installed the stunnel4 deb package. I need to do a couple of things. At boot up I need to accept ssl connections on an inbound port and forward it to a non-ssl compliant app listening on another port. The second thing I need to do is make an ssl required connection to a pop server on another host out of a non-ssl mail client on the local machine. I have no problem with the ports, port forwarding, etc. I just do not know how to set up stunnel to accomplish this. Let's just use this as an example: 1. I need to accept inbound ssl connections on 995 (port 995 is open) and send them to the local machine non-ssl client listening on 2995. 2. I need to ssl connect to pop.gmail.com:995 via a non-ssl mail client on the local machine and I want the mail client to connect to stunnel on port 3995. 3. I need both of these scenarios to start at boot up. I don't even know where to start with stunnel4 to do this. Actually I can set up stunnel.conf for either but one's a server operation and the other is a client operation and can't get them both to work simultaneously. To start stunnel at boot up I simply edited /etc/default/stunnel and /etc/init.d/stunnel4 and changed ENABLED=0 to ENABLED=1 in both files. Something tells me this is entirely the wrong way to do what I want to do. It works for either the client task or the server task, depending on which one I have enabled in stunnel.conf but I just know this is not how I am suppose to be doing it. Will someone help? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/New-and-Utterly-Confused-on-Ubuntu-Linux-tp30970693p3… Sent from the Stunnel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Wireshark didn't show TLSv1 traffic?
by Bao, Robert 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Hi, I have "ciphers = AES256-SHA" option in stunnel.conf file. And when the server/client established the connection, I see this line in the log file: Negotiated ciphers: AES256-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA1 However when I use Wireshark to sniff the traffic, I only see "TCP" in the <Protocol> column for the traffics between the server and the client. Is this normal? What did I do wrong? Thanks.

Confusion regarding part of stunnel.conf
by Dave 12 Feb '11

12 Feb '11

I've set up a test of stunnel with the latest stunnel and latest openssl, and if I set "verify=0" or "verify=1" I can get it to work (I'm tunneling a pop3 session), but if I set it any higher (to 2 or 3) it won't work for me. Now, I'm not sure which level is "necessary" because in stunnel.conf I read: ------------------------- ; authentication stuff needs to be configured to prevent MITM attacks ; it is not enabled by default! ;verify = 2 ------------------------- ... which sounds like verify defaults to 0. But is a verify level of 1 enough to solve the man-in-the-middle problem? It seems like it would not be (since level 1 will allow absence of a certificate), but I am not sure. I guess my questions boil down to: 1) What are the necessary settings for "authentication stuff" to prevent the MITM attack vector mentioned in stunnel.conf? 2) What is the proper way to set up (self-signed) certs to prevent such an attack? Can a self-signed cert be used at a verify level of 2 or 3? Dave

[patch] Unix socket support for Stunnel
by Stefan Behte 11 Feb '11

11 Feb '11

Hi, yet another request for a patch inclusion... Quoting from http://haproxy.1wt.eu/#down : "This patch contributed by Exceliance adds to stunnel the ability to connect to haproxy over a UNIX stream socket instead of using TCP. Sometimes this can be more convenient and/or more secure. " I think it would be nice to have it upstream. And I hope I am not bothering Michals yet. ;) Best regards, Stefan Behte

Security Problems with 4.35
by Stefan Behte 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

Hi, in the announcement of 4.35, I saw: "CLOEXEC file descriptor leaks fixed on Linux >= 2.6.28 with glibc >= 2.10. Irreparable race condition leaks remain on other Unix platforms. This issue may have security implications on some deployments." I searched a bit, but did not find an exploit or more information on the severity of this issue. Could someone elaborate the problem a bit? I could diff to the previous version and have a look, but that will take quite some time, and my C is weak... Best regards, Stefan Behte

use somaxconn in stunnel
by Stefan Behte 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

Hi, attached you will find a patch from Thomas Franco to honor SOMAXCONN. It defaults to 128, which is not enough for some setups. It defines the maximum number of requests that can be queued to a listening socket and can be changed with sysctl via net.core.somaxconn. I think it would be nice to have it in stunnel-4.36 to make it usable in bigger installations. It's available online here: https://github.com/op4g/stunnel/commit/e200bebaf92c068aa319c43fdd50cddd6816… Best regards, Stefan Behte

publish/subscribe with stunnel
by Dam Dam 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

Hello, I am having a problem to configure stunnel in a publish/subscribe architecture. Basically, I have a publisher service configured with stunnel as a server. Its configuration is close to: [publisher] accept = p1 connect = 127.0.0.1:p2 This service publishes data to a subscriber. As far I as understood, the subscriber should be configured as a client with stunnel with a configuration close to this: [subscriber] accept = p3 connect = remote:p1 client = yes Now, my problem is that the subscriber does not listen on any port. So p3 does not actually exist. When the subscriber starts, it automatically connects and subscribes to the publisher and waits for data from the publisher service. I would like to secure the connection between the publisher and the subscriber but I am stuck with the configuration. Any ideas? Regards, Damien

X-Forwarded-For / X-Forwarded-Proto
by Stefan Behte 09 Feb '11

09 Feb '11

Hello Michal, I've read that you prefer not to support X-Forwarded-For because an old code had a buffer overflow and did not support keep-alive functions of HTTP/1.1. I believe the overflow was fixed in the newer version of the patch I've attached. IMHO the patch will still be very useful, even if it does not support keep-alive: often in high-performence setups keep-alive is not even desired because it fills up ressources needlessly. Even if this does not provide all features, a lot of people would be satisfied with it. There is a great desire for this patch, if one searches for "stunnel x-forwarded-for" on google, you will find more than 60 pages and not only a few dozens of blogs/mailing lists that discuss applying the patch and getting it to work as an SSL terminator for loadbalancing software. And last, I know that the patch (the one Willy Tarreau is hosting on haproxy.1wt.eu and is attached) is in use at several high-traffic websites and runs stable. ;) If it's too much of a hassle for you to review and/or integrate the patch, I can understand that very well, I'd just like to open a discussion and would like to know if you have concerns regarding the patch quality, even if you do not want to include the patch at this time. :) Best regards, Stefan Behte

( 2 Tier Architecture ) 2) Setup worked for almost 2 years without any issue, suddenly since last September, we have connection reset issue on app clients intermittently. 3) almost lots of clients ( in 100's ) get reset and we find 100's of below messages in /var/adm/messages file of solaris. stunnel: [ID 821868 daemon.info] LOG6[21204:5272]: s_poll_wait timeout: connection reset stunnel: [ID 821868 daemon.notice] LOG5[21204:4804]: Connecti on reset: 1867341 bytes sent to SSL, 55211 bytes sent to socket 4) After reset, Client attempt to relogin works without any issue. there is no pattern of load, time, no of users. 5) all the database, inetd program, stunnel runs with oracle userid 6) No other OS related, resource related errors in /var/adm/messages. 7) At this point, i dont have stunnel debug log during the problem occurrence , since we have cron job that recycles logs. if required will send later. 8) Interms of change happend before the first occurance of issue, we did CPU/RAM upgrade, Oracle Database CPU Patch. But database team says no errors reported on oracle side during reset. 9) Max users on database is around 1024, which our max users is 300. ******************************************************************** Config: #/usr/local/bin/stunnel -version stunnel 4.25 on sparc-sun-solaris2.10 with OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 (+ security fixes for: CVE-2005-2969 CVE-2006-2937 CVE-2006-2940 CVE-2006-3738 CVE-2006-4339 CVE-2006-4343 CVE-2007-5135 CVE-2007-3108 CVE-2008-5077 CVE-2009-0590 CVE-2009-3555) Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Auth:LIBWRAP Global options debug = 5 pid = /usr/local/var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes Service-level options cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:!DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA:!AES256-SHA:!ADH:+RC4:@STRENGTH key = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem session = 300 seconds stack = 65536 bytes sslVersion = SSLv3 for client, all for server TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none ------------------------------------------------- #uname -a SunOS xxxxxxxxxx 5.10 Generic_144488-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise --------------------------------------------------------------------- # gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/sfw/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/3.4.3/specs Configured with: /sfw10/builds/build/sfw10-patch/usr/src/cmd/gcc/gcc-3.4.3/configure --prefix=/usr/sfw --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --without-gnu-as --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --without-gnu-ld --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-shared Thread model: posix gcc version 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ # openssl version OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 (+ security fixes for: CVE-2005-2969 CVE-2006-2937 CVE-2006-2940 CVE-2006-3738 CVE-2006-4339 CVE-2006-4343 CVE-2007-5135 CVE-2007-3108 CVE-2008-5077 CVE-2009-0590 CVE-2009-3555) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # more avaloq.conf ( Ssl config file we use /usr/local/bin/stunnel /opt/app/ssl/stunnel.conf ; Sample stunnel configuration file by Michal Trojnara 2002-2006 ; Some options used here may not be adequate for your particular configuration ; Please make sure you understand them (especially the effect of chroot jail) ; Certificate/key is needed in server mode and optional in client mode cert = /opt/app/ssl/cert.pem key = /opt/app/ssl/cert.pem ; Protocol version (all, SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1) sslVersion = all ; Some security enhancements for UNIX systems - comment them out on Win32 ;chroot = /usr/local/var/lib/stunnel/ ;setuid = nobody ;setgid = nogroup ; PID is created inside chroot jail pid = /opt/app/ssl/avaloq_ssl/avaloq.pid ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ;compression = rle ; Workaround for Eudora bug ;options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS ; Authentication stuff ;verify = 2 ; Don't forget to c_rehash CApath ; CApath is located inside chroot jail ;CApath = /certs ; It's often easier to use CAfile ;CAfile = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/certs.pem ; Don't forget to c_rehash CRLpath ; CRLpath is located inside chroot jail ;CRLpath = /crls ; Alternatively you can use CRLfile ;CRLfile = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/crls.pem ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting debug = 7 output = /db/avaloq/export/stunnel.log ; Use it for client mode ;client = yes ; Service-level configuration [application] accept =7766 connect =localhost:7767 TIMEOUTconnect = 60 ;[pop3s] ;accept = 995 ;connect = 110 ;[imaps] ;accept = 993 ;connect = 143 ;[ssmtp] ;accept = 465 ;connect = 25 ;[https] ;accept = 443 ;connect = 80 ;TIMEOUTclose = 0 ; vim:ft=dosini -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #netstat -an |grep 7766 |wc -l 249 Regards, kumar

What legal issues come up if I use GPL-incompatible libraries with GPL software?
by Michal Trojnara 17 Jan '11

17 Jan '11

Dear Users, I just noticed some people declare GPL license on stunnel patches. Since stunnel uses GPL license *with OpenSSL exception* (OpenSSL license is not GPL-compatible), it cannot be distributed if it is linked against any GPL code (patches, libraries) without this exception. It is still legal to distribute stunnel with patches that use GPL license with OpenSSL exception. Such patches constitute forks of stunnel and will *never* be accepted to my source tree. Third party patches rarely meet my quality criteria, but I occasionally accept patches released as public domain or having their copyright ownership transferred to me. Also see: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLIncompatibleLibs https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Fork_%28software_development… Mike

Re: [stunnel-users] Multi Tunnel Support in STunnel
by Narendra Prasad Madanapalli 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

I'm sorry, if my previous mail explained the problem differently. Stunnel does load balancing when multiple connect statements are specified in a section as in the below mail. The scenario is something like http://mirt.net/pipermail/stunnel-users/2006-May/001139.html and explained below N servers each running a service of the same service-program (e.g: ip1:2345, ip2:2345, ... ipN:2345) A management server running on a different server (ipM:6789) is required to connect to all or a subset of the above servers through stunnel based on the user request. I couldn't find this feature supported by stunnel in the man page. I would appreciate if you provide any information on this. Thanks, Narendra. > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Narendra Prasad Madanapalli wrote: > > connect = ip1:5678,ip2:5678,ip3:5678,...ipn:5678 > > > > Anyone can please let me know the steps to configure the stunnel if > > the support is already in place or provide your thoughts on the new > > support? > > > Use multiple "connect" options within a single section: > connect = ip1:5678 > connect = ip2:5678 > connect = ip3:5678 > ... > connect = ipn:5678 > > Reading The Fine Manual would answer your question.

Stunnel forwarding IP
by oscaruser＠programmer.net 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

Folks, For my server daemon process, I am accepting incoming requests only from pre-seeded IP addrs. Using Stunnel, I am finding connecting IPs are '127.0.0.1' or localhost. Is there any configuration or solution to represent incoming IPs for the given file descriptor belonging to their originating IP addrs? Thank you.

stunnel with FIPS and SIGHUP
by Eric Lambert 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

Hello, I am having difficulting when running stunnel in FIPS mode and using a SIGHUP to get stunnel to re-read it's configuration file (for instance if I've changed a port # or IP address for one of the connections). This causes stunnel to call the SSL routine FIPS_mode_set() a second time after receiving the SIGHUP, which in turn attempts to reinitialize SSL. Unfortunately, OpenSSL does not support calling FIPS_mode_set(1) more than once. The initialization of SSL becomes incomplete as a result of the 2nd call and subsequent attempts to use stunnel to establish encrypted connections fail. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can make this work (besides killing and restarting stunnel)? If not, I have a proposed fix (and there are multiple ways that this could be addressed). Anyway, my suggestion is to add the following two lines to the ssl_configure() function (found in the file "ssl.c"), right before the current FIPS_mode_set() routine is called: FIPS_mode_set(0); RAND_set_rand_method(NULL); The function currently looks like: int ssl_configure(void) { /* configure global SSL settings */ #ifdef USE_FIPS if(!FIPS_mode_set(global_options.option.fips)) { ERR_load_crypto_strings(); sslerror("FIPS_mode_set"); return 0; } s_log(LOG_NOTICE, "FIPS mode %s", global_options.option.fips ? "enabled" : "disabled"); #endif /* USE_FIPS */ : : } With the suggested fix, it would look as follows: int ssl_configure(void) { /* configure global SSL settings */ #ifdef USE_FIPS FIPS_mode_set(0); RAND_set_rand_method(NULL); if(!FIPS_mode_set(global_options.option.fips)) { ERR_load_crypto_strings(); sslerror("FIPS_mode_set"); return 0; } s_log(LOG_NOTICE, "FIPS mode %s", global_options.option.fips ? "enabled" : "disabled"); #endif /* USE_FIPS */ : : } Does the above seem reasonable. Could this change, or some other modification which would support using SIGHUP with FIPS, be considered for a future stunnel update? Thanks for your help.

Multi Tunnel Support in STunnel
by Narendra Prasad Madanapalli 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

Hi, Current stunnel implementation is based on peer-to-peer communication and it cannot be used in the environment where a management server wants to talk to multi-site server (i.e. an instance of server running in different sites). Multi Tunnel support for Stunnel enables a Management Server to communicate with Multisite Server. But it requires extending Stunnel with a new protocol whereby Management Server & Client Stunnel Process communicates. 1. The new stunnel conf for multi tunnel (keeping backward compatibility) look like [singleTunnelServiceName] accept = aport connect = ip:cport [serviceName] multitunnel = yes accept = 1234 connect = ip1:5678,ip2:5678,ip3:5678,...ipn:5678 Anyone can please let me know the steps to configure the stunnel if the support is already in place or provide your thoughts on the new support? Thanks, Narendra.

Re: [stunnel-users] Question of stunnel/openssl for X86 processor -- Pierre's patch

Hi Jiehua, Please review the instructions on my webpage : in particular use my compilation scripts, and look inside them to know the syntax. It is quite simple : makece X86 for stunnel. For openssl, "mywcebuild X86". It works. Let me know if you have problems. Pierre Le 10/01/2011 17:40, Li, Jiehua a écrit : > Dear Pierre and Dear Stunnel Users, > > We are trying to build stunnel for WinCE on X86 processor.

RFC: purge use of keyword 'transparent'

Folks, After searching, installing various Linuces (in the 2.6 family), e.g. CentOS, Ubuntu, and so on, I have not been able to get transparent proxy working at all. As such since it the function does not work, and there is great debate as to whether it ever worked, I would like to propose that this keyword and reference to its function be discarded entirely. This will save many folks a great deal of time and effort attempting to try and get it to work, myself having spent over 80 hours (including my precious holiday time) trying to dig, scratch, research up old posts that say it works or someone has it working under such and such a configuration! The documentation itself has folks claiming that it works and does not, which is really a bad practice. Why did you perpetuate this option in the first place?! I hope you see the importance and reason with my request and act immediately. ... Unless someone really really does have it working. Thank you
