-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Users, I have released version 5.20 of stunnel. The ChangeLog entry: Version 5.20, 2015.07.09, urgency: HIGH * Security bugfixes - OpenSSL DLLs updated to version 1.0.2d. https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20150709.txt * New features - poll(2) re-enabled on MacOS X 10.5 and later. - Xcode SDK is automatically used on MacOS X if no other locally installed OpenSSL directory is found. - The SSL library detection algorithm was made a bit smarter. - Warnings about insecure authentication were modified to include the name of the affected service section. - A warning was added to stunnel.init if no pid file was specified in the configuration file (thx to Peter Pentchev). - Optional debugging symbols are included in the Win32 installer. - Documentation updates (closes Debian bug #781669). * Bugfixes - Signal pipe reinitialization added to prevent turning the main accepting thread into a busy wait loop when an external condition breaks the signal pipe. This bug was found to surface on Win32, but other platforms may also be affected. - Fixed removing the disabled taskbar icon. - Generated temporary DH parameters are used for configuration reload instead of the static defaults. - LSB compatibility fixes added to the stunnel.init script (thx to Peter Pentchev). - Fixed the manual page headers (thx to Gleydson Soares).

keyfile is not encrypted
by Madhava Gaikwad (madgaikw) 15 Jul '15

15 Jul '15

Hello, I am asking too much, but keyfile with stunnel is required to be stored on disk (I am aware about file permission applied) and is in plain text. Is there any way we can encrypt the keyfile and then store, and then subsequently ask stunnel to obtain the decryption key somehow and then use it. For encryption/decryption of the key, stunnel (or some other program) can give network based ability(service over socket) to provide the key so key can be encrypted by the third party(who generates the config for stunnel). Stunnel config option will specify key is encrypted and therefore stunnel knows why and how to decrypt it. Of course you will ask me to implement my own custom algo for this, but I am checking if anybody has thought about it or in such case, how they have worked on it. I was told, there is also basic level of FIPS compliance requirement that requires key not to be stored on disk in plain text irrespective of file permission. Thank you. Madhava

help on options and sslversion
by Madhava Gaikwad (madgaikw) 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

Hi, I am using stunnel 5.03 version. I want to understand how the config option "sslVersion " and "options " works. The problem I am trying to solve is: I want to enable say only particular ssl connect methods, for example sslv3 and TLs1.2. I am not able to do it. For me if I do below setting: Options = all Option = NO_SSLv2 Option = NO_SSLv3 Option = NO_TLSv1 Option = NO_TLSv1.1 Option = NO_TLSv1.2 Still I see all methods are being enabled. I removed Option = all, but no effect. What is expected behavior? Also, The sslVersion seems enables either particular sslversion, or else all the versions. So wondering what can be the escape mechanism. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you. Madhava

"make check" tries to build Windows binary on Unix
by Dagobert Michelsen 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

Hi, I just tries to build stunnel 5.20 on Solaris 10 Sparc and noticed a strange behaviour during „make check“ which yields in a try to build Windows executables: > dam@unstable10s [unstable10s]:/home/dam/mgar/pkg/stunnel/trunk/work/solaris10-sparc/build-isa-sparcv8plus/stunnel-5.20 > gmake check > Making check in src > gmake[1]: Entering directory '/home/dam/mgar/pkg/stunnel/trunk/work/solaris10-sparc/build-isa-sparcv8plus/stunnel-5.20/src' > gmake stunnel.exe tstunnel.exe > gmake[2]: Entering directory '/home/dam/mgar/pkg/stunnel/trunk/work/solaris10-sparc/build-isa-sparcv8plus/stunnel-5.20/src' > i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -c -I/usr/src/openssl-1.0.2d-i686/include -mthreads -fstack-protector -O2 -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic -Wformat=2 -Wconversion -Wno-long-long -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -DUNICODE -D_UNICODE -o tls.obj tls.c > /bin/bash: i686-w64-mingw32-gcc: command not found > Makefile:1206: recipe for target 'tls.obj' failed > gmake[2]: *** [tls.obj] Error 127 > gmake[2]: Leaving directory '/home/dam/mgar/pkg/stunnel/trunk/work/solaris10-sparc/build-isa-sparcv8plus/stunnel-5.20/src' > Makefile:1054: recipe for target 'check-am' failed I think this comes from these lines in src/Makefile.am: > # Just check if the programs can be built, don't perform any actual tests > check_PROGRAMS = stunnel.exe tstunnel.exe Essentially the „check“ phase could just not be called during build, but it would be cleaner to not bail out on Unix.

problem with buffering data on stunnel
by wujot 09 Jul '15

09 Jul '15

I have a problem with transmission from LAN server, which use another server on LAN with running stunnel, to pass encrypted data to remote SSL clients if they are on very slow GPRS network. If server in LAN starts to transfer big amount of data to such slow remote client, stunnel is buffering data and slowly transmits them to the GPRS client. TCP Window on connection from LAN server to stunnel is big (64 - 131kB), and TCP Window on connection from stunnel to slow client is small (about 5kB). And additionally stunnel is buffering data. So, server is finishing transmission in seconds, but in fact most of data are still in buffers of stunnel. And it makes a timeout problem (server is waiting for the confirmation from client if it received all data, but time between last byte sent from server and confirmation from client could be even several minutes). So, stunnel is working in "store and forward" model. Is it possible to switch it to something like "cut through"? Or how to force stunnel to more synchronized transmission between client and server? Regards, Adalbert

Re: [stunnel-users] stunnel 5.18 may keep high CPU usage

Hello Michal, Same problem with 5.19b4 and nothing special in the logs. Now I know how to reproduce the problem instantly, I just have to put my computer in StanBy mode and Awake it. Using Process Explorer from Sysinternals I see that stunnel produce a permanent "Other I/O" flow when problem appear. I/O Other : "The rate at which the process is issuing bytes to I/O operations that do not involve data such as control operations. This counter counts all I/O activity generated by the process to include file, network and device I/Os." OtherI/O is confirmed by Process Monitor that trace no File nor Registry nor Network activity. But as stunnel still respond correctly to a Quit menu or any other menus and SSL requests I assumed that it may be some Thread going crazy so I compared running thread between normal stunnel behavior with the 25% CPU behavior and found that in fact there is a thread that do no terminate correctly. Here is the Thread's stack : MSVCR90.dll!_endThread+0x7d ntoskrnl.exe!memset+0x61a ntoskrnl.exe!KeWaitForMultipleObjects+0xd52 ntoskrnl.exe!KeWaitForSingleObject+0x19f ntoskrnl.exe!PoStartNextPowerIrp+0xba4 ntoskrnl.exe!PoStartNextPowerIrp+0x1821 ntoskrnl.exe!PoStartNextPowerIrp+0x1a97 ntoskrnl.exe!KeReleaseInStackQueuedSpinLock+0x5a afd.sys+0x61c1c afd.sys+0x51d3b ntoskrnl.exe!NtMapViewOfSection+0x15b7 ntoskrnl.exe!NtDeviceIoControlFile+0x56 ntoskrnl.exe!KeSynchronizeExecution+0x3a23 wow64cpu.dll!TurboDispatchJumpAddressEnd+0x6c0 wow64cpu.dll!TurboDispatchJumpAddressEnd+0x1fb wow64.dll!Wow64SystemServiceEx+0x1ce wow64.dll!Wow64LdrpInitialize+0x42a ntdll.dll!RtlIsDosDeviceName_U+0x1f5c4 ntdll.dll!LdrInitializeThunk+0xe ntdll.dll!NtDeviceIoControlFile+0x15 WS2_32.dll!select+0x9f stunnel.exe!OPENSSL_Applink+0xd3ec stunnel.exe!OPENSSL_Applink+0x961 Hope it help... regards.

Generate CONNECT
by reiner otto 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

I have following problem: I want to avoid the user to explicitly specify a https-proxy in his browser. Let me explain: For http, a transparent proxy can be interfaced via iptables DNAT, for example.Same for https will not work, without certificates installed etc.However, I only want some basic info about the https-session, like traffic volume or destination domain. In case, there is an explicit https-proxy defined in the browser, I can get this info from the connect request, preceding the secure data exchange.But I want to avoid this explicit declararion. Most likely I will need some custom programming for this, but may be there is a specialist here to give some direction.

Default Ciphers
by Clayton Keller 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Looking at the Changelog I see the following from the 5.15 info: "MEDIUM ciphers (currently SEED and RC4) are removed from the default cipher list." And this from the 5.00 info: "Default "ciphers" updated to "HIGH:MEDIUM:+3DES:+DH:!aNULL:!SSLv2" due to AlFBPPS attack and bad performance of DH ciphersuites." Given these to comments would it be accurate to say that the current default "ciphers" value is: "HIGH:+3DES:+DH:!aNULL:!SSLv2" Also, some of the docs indicate what the default value currently is. Is there an easier way to determine that value via CLI or other means? Thanks Clay

stunnel 5.18 may keep high CPU usage
by Dod 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Hello, I use sTunnel for years and ujpdated from 5.17 to 5.18 on my Win7 64bits. I use sTunnel for POP-SSL and SMTP-SSL for 12 accounts (gmail, yahoo ...) but I noticed that after a few connexions sTunnel may keep high CPU, 25% as reported by TaskManager (50% on core 1 and 3 on my Core-i5 quad-core). The problem, may appear after 10 cnx sometime more. The reading order the POP-S accounts that are checked do not matter. The POP accounts are never high loaded I mean I do not receive tons of e-mails and they are not oversized. Sometime the 25% CPU usage disappear by its own, sometime it can stay forever. Never noticed such problem on previous versions. Standard logs show nothing special. regards.

Stunnel 5.17 builds, 5.18 does not - AIX 6.1 - pod2man does not accept "-v"
by Rob Lockhart 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Michal, I was able to build Stunnel 5.17 on AIX 6.1 using the "build" command, after completely removing the entire section for "-fstack-protector" in "configure" (my "stunnel-5.17.patch" file below). I used the following commands: mkdir $HOME/stunnel-bin-5.17 gzip -dc stunnel-5.17.tar.gz | tar xvf - patch -p0 <stunnel-5.17.patch cd stunnel-5.17 chmod 755 configure; ./configure --prefix=$HOME/stunnel-bin-5.17 make; make install However, for 5.18, those same commands (and patch file) no longer result in a successful compile due to AIX 6.1 not accepting the "-u" (Unicode) for pod2man. I looked into 5.17 and it looks like the same Makefiles are used in both (doc/Makefile.in and doc/Makefile.am) so perhaps the top-level Makefile for 5.18 adds the ".pod.8" file to the build process. Removing the "-u" in both files enables the build to complete. I just tested against Stunnel 5.19 but it looks like the step that ran "pod2html" was skipped by default (i.e., just "make") so I am able to compile stunnel correctly. Thanks for fixing this in Stunnel 5.19! For those that need the .pod.8 man pages on AIX 6.1, you'll need to remove the "-u" in the pod2man command. Regards, -Rob

I am using the pre-compiled windows binary version of stunnel in client mode, how do I tell on that version what cipher versions I can use? Essentially the equivalent of this command in openssl *openssl* *ciphers* [*-s*] [*-v*] [*-V*] [*-ssl3*] [*-tls1*] [*-stdname*] [ *cipherlist*]

Rework "Honor --sysconfdir and --localstatedir in stunnel.conf-sample.in"
by Dagobert Michelsen 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

Hi, I took the liberty of reworking the patch presented in http://www.stunnel.org/pipermail/stunnel-users/2010-July/002711.html to fix the issues raised in http://www.stunnel.org/pipermail/stunnel-users/2010-August/002719.html The main reason why the substitution didn't work is because it should not be done during configure-time but inside the Makefile as described in the Autoconf manual http://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/htm… The patch is attached to this email or you can browse the patch at https://github.com/dago/stunnel/compare/master...sysconfdir The patch is against 5.18b3 (is there a public repo available to make patches?) It would be great if the change could be applied. Best regards -- Dago

Incompatibility - Content-length parsing
by Marcin Gryszkalis 25 May '15

25 May '15

Hi, I noticed that parsing of HTTP header fields is not robust enough and not RFC compliant - and that way it casues incompatibility with Microsoft TMG proxy with NTLM authentication. The symptom is "Proxy-Authenticate: Invalid Content-Length" message while the header received is "Content-Length: 0 " <- note trailing spaces. The responsible piece of code is in protocol.c: if(tmpstr==line+16 || *tmpstr || content_length<0) { (tmpstr contains trailing spaces in this case). According to RFC 7230 trailing space is allowed and should be discarded by parser: A field value might be preceded and/or followed by optional whitespace (OWS); a single SP preceding the field-value is preferred for consistent readability by humans. The field value does not include any leading or trailing whitespace: OWS occurring before the first non-whitespace octet of the field value or after the last non-whitespace octet of the field value ought to be excluded by parsers when extracting the field value from a header field. best regards -- Marcin Gryszkalis, PGP 0xA5DBEEC7 jabber jid:[email protected]

Stunnel not working with Office 365
by Hannu Viitala 19 May '15

19 May '15

Hi, We cannot get stunnel SMTP to work with Office 365 mail server. We are using Stunnel 5.13 and below are the config file content and the the client PC logs. The mail server logs do not reveal anything more. Two observations of the test setup: 1) Using e.g. Mozilla Firebird mail client directly SLL/SMTP on the same PC connection to same Office 365 mail server works ok, but via Stunnel it outputs the error log below. 2) Also, on the same PC, SSL/SMTP connection via stunnel to Gmail server works ok.

Stunnel4 not working?
by David H. Durgee 13 May '15

13 May '15

Given a lack of other suggestions here and elsewhere that yielded any progress, I decided to download the current source and attempt to build it on my system. I didn't see a routine to check for prerequisites being met, so I wound up running ./configure several times and adding the libssl-dev, libwrap0-dev and libsystemd-daemon-dev packages based on what I saw in the output. Perhaps a check routine could be added later? I then ran make and the output contains neither errors nor warnings, so that looks good. As suggested in the INSTALL file, I next ran make check and received neither errors nor warnings. At this point the next step appears to be make install as root, but I am wondering if I should uninstall the stunnel4 package from the repository first. I am also wondering if I can simply use the existing /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf that I included in my first post in this thread or if I should start over with one of the examples included with this version. I would appreciate input from the list on this. If you want to see further details, such as ./configure or make outputs or configuration files just let me know and I will put them in a follow-up post. Dave

Re: [stunnel-users] Stunnel 5.17 on AIX

Thanks! I applied the patch to tls.c and I'm able to create sessions with no problem. The version of OpenSSL provided by IBM is built off the 1.0.1e codebase, with backported security fixes via "iFixes" for announced CVEs. They apparently don't backport new functionality or maybe even non-CVE bugfixes. I'm guessing an un-patched stunnel 5.17 would work once/if they release OpenSSL built off 1.0.1j or later. > On Tue, May 12, 2015 at 3:40 PM, Michal Trojnara <Michal.Trojnara(a)mirt.net > > wrote: > >> On 12.05.2015 18:29, Eckert, Doug wrote: >> > With that in mind, I compiled stunnel v5.03 with same OpenSSL 1.0.1.513 >> > and iFix IV71446m9a applied as with the v5.17 attempt.

I know that server is working, as I have seen other incoming traffic handled by it. I suspect the problem is related to the message you pointed out that I missed about SSL libraries. I would very much appreciate a pointer to a more current package in a repository. Thanks for your response, Rob. Dave

Stunnel 5.17 build on AIX - libssp missing
by Rob Lockhart 09 May '15

09 May '15

I have AIX 6.1 (64-bit) with GCC 4.2.0. It has an older version of OpenSSL (0.9.8) installed from IBM but I'm trying to compile Stunnel 5.17 with OpenSSL 1.0.2a-fips as non-root. I proceed as follows: cd ~; [ -d openssl ] && rm -rf openssl; mkdir openssl cd ~/OpenSSL; [ -d openssl-fips-2.0.9 ] && rm -rf openssl-fips-2.0.9 gzip -dc openssl-fips-2.0.9.tar.gz | tar xvf - cd openssl-fips-2.0.9; chmod 755 Configure ./Configure aix64-gcc --openssldir=$HOME/openssl make make install NOTE: the above is just the FIPS canister (library), not the executable. cd ~/OpenSSL; [ -d openssl-1.0.2a ] && rm -rf openssl-1.0.2a gzip -dc openssl-1.0.2a.tar.gz | tar xvf - cd openssl-1.0.2a; chmod 755 Configure ./Configure aix64-gcc fips shared --openssldir=$HOME/openssl --with-fipsdir=$HOME/openssl make depend make make test make install cd ~/openssl/bin; ./openssl version; ./openssl speed NOTE: Look for "ALL OCSP TESTS SUCCESSFUL" after "make test" to verify the test build was successful, and it was. NOTE: "./openssl version" should show "OpenSSL 1.0.2a-fips 19 Mar 2015" NOTE: "./openssl speed" should take a while as it's measuring the speed for all algorithms Final test of OpenSSL 1.0.2a-fips: ./openssl sha1 -hmac etaonrishdlcupfm ~/OpenSSL/openssl-fips-2.0.9.tar.gz - should return: 54552e9a3ed8d1561341e8945fcdec55af961322 Now, I try to compile Stunnel: rm -rf $HOME/stunnel-bin; mkdir $HOME/stunnel-bin cd ~/Stunnel; [ -f stunnel-5.17 ] && rm -rf stunnel-5.17 gzip -dc stunnel-5.17.tar.gz | tar xvf - ; cd stunnel-5.17 ./configure --enable-fips --prefix=$HOME/stunnel-bin --with-ssl=$HOME/openssl make I get a failure at make for a library not found: /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -D_THREAD_SAFE -Wall -Wextra -Wformat=2 -Wconversion -Wno-long-long -Wno-deprecated-declarations -fstack-protector -fPIE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -L/home/lockharr/openssl/lib64 -L/home/lockharr/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto -o stunnel stunnel-tls.o stunnel-str.o stunnel-file.o stunnel-client.o stunnel-log.o stunnel-options.o stunnel-protocol.o stunnel-network.o stunnel-resolver.o stunnel-ssl.o stunnel-ctx.o stunnel-verify.o stunnel-sthreads.o stunnel-fd.o stunnel-stunnel.o stunnel-pty.o stunnel-libwrap.o stunnel-ui_unix.o -lpthreads libtool: link: gcc -g -O2 -D_THREAD_SAFE -Wall -Wextra -Wformat=2 -Wconversion -Wno-long-long -Wno-deprecated-declarations -fstack-protector -fPIE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -o stunnel stunnel-tls.o stunnel-str.o stunnel-file.o stunnel-client.o stunnel-log.o stunnel-options.o stunnel-protocol.o stunnel-network.o stunnel-resolver.o stunnel-ssl.o stunnel-ctx.o stunnel-verify.o stunnel-sthreads.o stunnel-fd.o stunnel-stunnel.o stunnel-pty.o stunnel-libwrap.o stunnel-ui_unix.o -L/home/lockharr/openssl/lib64 -L/home/lockharr/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto -lpthreads collect2: library libssp_nonshared not found The interesting part is that doing a "grep -R libssp" of the source tree only shows one reference to libssp: $ grep -R libssp * stunnel-5.17/tools/stunnel.nsi: # MINGW builds requires libssp-0.dll instead of msvcr90.dll Googling showed some really old links that had libssp skipped for GCC on AIX: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-09/msg01231.html and another that added it back in: http://marc.info/?l=gcc-patches&m=130168534803966 Can anyone who has compiled this for AIX give me a clue about what's going on? This looks like a reference to a non-existent library but I would think that if GCC needed that, it wouldn't allow the RPM for GCC to be installed. Thanks, -Rob

Stunnel4 not working?

problem migrating from 4.54 to 5.x
by Scott Weisman 04 May '15

04 May '15

Hi there. I have a program I have used successfully with Stunnel for many years. A while back, I discovered that my program, which is a pure stdio console program, stopped working with 5.x versions of Stunnel. I have spent many hours but have been unable to solve the problem, so I regretfully continue to use the 4.x branch. I was wondering if anyone had similar experiences? Relevant data is pasted below. I comment in the log output where the problem occurs. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. stunnel.conf: setuid = stunnel setgid = stunnel pid = /var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 foreground = no debug = 7 output = /var/log/stunnel.log [CF2] client = no accept = 21 verify = 3 sslVersion = all cert = /etc/stunnel/demo.pem key = /etc/stunnel/demo.pem CApath = /etc/stunnel/certs CRLpath = /etc/stunnel/crls TIMEOUTbusy = 60 TIMEOUTclose = 0 TIMEOUTconnect = 60 TIMEOUTidle = 60 exec = /opt/cmf/bin/cf-server execargs = /opt/cmf/bin/cf-server -p /opt/jail/stunnel/pipes/ Log of successful session with 4.54: 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: Starting certificate verification: depth=0, /C=US/L=Bryan/ST=TX/O=Demo Account/emailAddress= demo(a)demo.com/CN=demo 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG6[3080:140402563495680]: CERT: Locally installed certificate matched 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG5[3080:140402563495680]: Certificate accepted: depth=0, /C=US/L=Bryan/ST=TX/O=Demo Account/emailAddress= demo(a)demo.com/CN=demo 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client certificate A 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client key exchange A 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read certificate verify A 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read finished A 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write session ticket A 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write change cipher spec A 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write finished A 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 flush data 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: 0 items in the session cache 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: 0 client connects (SSL_connect()) 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: 0 client connects that finished 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: 0 client renegotiations requested 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: 1 server connects (SSL_accept()) 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: 1 server connects that finished 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: 0 server renegotiations requested 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: 0 session cache hits 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: 0 external session cache hits 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: 0 session cache misses 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: 0 session cache timeouts 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG6[3080:140402563495680]: SSL accepted: new session negotiated 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG6[3080:140402563495680]: Negotiated TLSv1/SSLv3 ciphersuite: ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 (256-bit encryption) 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG6[3080:140402563495680]: Compression: null, expansion: null 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG6[3080:140402563495680]: Local mode child started (PID=3118) 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: Remote socket (FD=11) initialized *** the connection is established and stable;

Hi, Well I got it started on VMS and wanted to put it in debug mode, so I shut it down made my changes to the conf file and now well I can't start it with the command procedure. I even tried the old conf and same thing... $ @STUNNEL_STARTUP_SERVER Is the private key (in the PEM file) encrypted?

Fwd: Comments/questions to Debian patches
by Michal Trojnara 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Users, Peter Pentchev, the Debian package maintainer for the "stunnel4" package, does not reply to my emails. I hope he is still alive and well, just too busy to maintain the package. I decided to share with you my comments to the patches that are applied to the Debian package. Hopefully, someone will find them useful. Mike - -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Comments/questions to Debian patches Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2014 21:13:25 +0100 From: Michal Trojnara <Michal.Trojnara(a)mirt.net> To: Peter Pentchev <roam(a)ringlet.net> Hi Peter, Just a few comments/questions to improve the quality of Debian package. I'll be glad to discuss if you disagree with my opinions. 01-fix-paths.patch The patch description is quite outdated. Translation from sbin to bin was performed upstream in stunnel 4.21 released 27 Oct 2007. 8-) I guess: /usr/bin/stunnel -fd 10 \ should be: /usr/bin/stunnel4 -fd 10 \ Probably this should be added to the next patch: 02-rename-binary.patch 05-logrotate-warning-in-sample-conf.patch Good idea. I'll add it to stunnel 5.07. 08-client-example.patch I've already added this example in stunnel 5.02. Your patch adds it once again. Just remove it. 10-no-zlib-compression.patch I'm completely confused by this patch. According to my tests it only makes stunnel reporting different errors when a user tries to enable compression on Debian. Why would anyone need this patch? 11-no-rle-compression.patch IMHO OpenSSL bugs should be fixed in OpenSSL, and not in stunnel. YMMV 12-restore-pidfile-default.patch I strongly disagree with this approach, as it breaks configuration file compatibility with the upstream. Debian should instead rewrite stunnel.conf when upgrading from stunnel 4.xx. 14-lsb-init-functions.patch 8-) 15-upstream-systemd-libs.patch This (and more) will be included in stunnel 5.07. 16-upstream-sslv23-method.patch This will be included in stunnel 5.07.

Redis with stunnel, need to reset a client connection if the remote server drops
by Cocytus 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

Hello all, I've spent some time digging through the archives, but have yet to turn up a solution to the issue I'm having. We're using Redis instances on 'cloud' resources, and have successfully gotten stunnel setup as a server on these nodes. Additionally an internal process runs and connects to a local stunnel client that then connects to the remote cloud instance. This is working well enough at the moment, however there is one issue I'm bumping into. If the remote EC2 node goes dark for a bit (ie: reboot), the local stunnel client will reconnect, however the internal process which is establishing its connection to the local stunnel client does not get disconnected and therefore doesn't know that redis became unavailable and needs to re-subscribe to the redis stream. I need to invalidate the established session when the remote reconnects. Can this be accomplished with either a TIMEOUT value or session statement? Below is a sample of the configuration: ########### [some-ec2-node.com] client = yes verify = 2 CApath = /etc/ssl/certs sslVersion = TLSv1 accept = 127.0.0.1:10008 connect = some-ec2-node.com:6379 ########### $ stunnel4 -version stunnel 4.53 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu platform Compiled with OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013 Running with OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014 Update OpenSSL shared libraries or rebuild stunnel Threading:PTHREAD SSL:+ENGINE+OCSP Auth:LIBWRAP Sockets:POLL+IPv6 Global options: debug = daemon.notice pid = /var/run/stunnel4.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes Service-level options: ciphers = ALL:!SSLv2:!aNULL:!EXP:!LOW:-MEDIUM:RC4:+HIGH curve = prime256v1 session = 300 seconds sslVersion = TLSv1 for client, all for server stack = 65536 bytes TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none -- Josh

Rewriting HTTP host header
by Veit Guna 19 Apr '15

19 Apr '15

Hi. After disabling SSLv3 I've got the same problem as: https://www.stunnel.org/pipermail/stunnel-users/2014-October/004814.html Sadly, he never got an answer. So I ask again, is it possible that stunnel could set the HTTP Host header to match the "connect = " setting? This way, Apache would accept that request instead of returning BAD REQUEST with AH02032. Thanks Veit

openvms and stunnel
by Coviello, Paul 17 Apr '15

17 Apr '15

Hello I'm trying to setup stunnel 4.20 yes it is an old version but the only one on HP's website for VMS. I need a little help in the conf files. Since I will be using telnet, do I need to put in each machines ip address that will be connecting? So in the example below do I create a listing of connects? [telnet] accept = 999 connect = 192.168.0.1:993 Thanks Paul Paul J Coviello Senior System Administrator CCS Corporate Headquarters Two Wells Avenue, Newton, MA 02459 617.965.2000, Ext. 4004 [cid:[email protected]] [cid:[email protected]] CCS Commercial, LLC | CCS Resources, Inc. | ClaimAssist, LLC | Credit Control Services, Inc.
