OpenSSL Vulnerabilities
by Cal Webster 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Will there be a security update of stunnel to address vulnerabilities outlined in CVE-2009-0590, CVE-2009-0591, and CVE-2009-0789? Alternatively, will stunnel use updated OpenSSL libraries on the host? It appears that this is true on Fedora RPM packages. For Example: ldd stunnel: ------------ libssl.so.7 => /lib64/libssl.so.7 (0x0000000006a3c000) libcrypto.so.7 => /lib64/libcrypto.so.7 (0x0000000007954000) ------------ rpm -q --requires stunnel ----------------------------------------- ... libcrypto.so.7 ... libssl.so.7 ... ----------------------------------------- rpm -ql openssl | egrep 'libcrypto.so.7|libssl.so.7' ----------------------------------------- /lib/libcrypto.so.7 /lib/libssl.so.7 ----------------------------------------- However, I don't know how to determine whether the same dependency works with Win32 dll's. For example, could we install "Win32 OpenSSL v0.9.8k Light" from the below link to resolve the vulnerabilities? http://www.slproweb.com/download/Win32OpenSSL_Light-0_9_8k.exe The description says that it "Installs the most commonly used essentials of Win32 OpenSSL v0.9.8k" but it doesn't say exactly what. Thanks for any insights or suggestions. Cal Webster

It's not really a bug. It's rather an inherent property of chrooted environments. They often require some files and/or devices to work properly. Pozdrowienia z Polski, Mike

Updating OpenSSL used by stunnel
by Peter Droop 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Hi, I am running stunnel 4.25 with openssl 0.9.8h on Windows 2003 Server. There are some security updates out for openssl, that are not available on stunnel.org. Can I update openssl by just replacing libeay32.dll and libssl32.dll in the stunnel installation directory? I downloaded the dlls from http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html. Thanks, Peter

GPL patches
by Michal Trojnara 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Dear Users, I've just uploaded some patches sent to stunnel-users list over the years to ftp://stunnel.mirt.net/stunnel/contrib/. Please remember my policy is *not* to include any GPL code into the official stunnel distribution. If you're brave you're free to apply the patches yourself, or even create a fork of stunnel with some additional functionality. Just be aware there were already some security vulnerabilities (including remote code execution) discovered in the 3rd party stunnel patches. For this reason I also don't recommend stunnel package/port maintainers to include any 3rd party code with stunnel. Best regards, Mike

Can't get NTLM authentication to work with proxy connect.
by Rudy Ghani 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Hi there, My stunnel client is on an Active Directory-authenticated XP workstation, which needs to connect via a web proxy that authenticates using NTLM. I populated my login details in protocolUsername and protocolPassword, but the connection just dies when it reaches the proxy server. Looking at the log, I get the following:- 2009.04.01 08:20:39 LOG6[2140:2892]: SSL connected: new session negotiated 2009.04.01 08:20:39 LOG6[2140:2892]: Negotiated ciphers: AES256-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA1 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG7[2140:2708]: ssh3 accepted FD=356 from 127.0.0.1:1026 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG7[2140:2708]: Creating a new thread 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG7[2140:2708]: New thread created 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG7[2140:3896]: ssh3 started 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG7[2140:3896]: FD 356 in non-blocking mode 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG7[2140:3896]: TCP_NODELAY option set on local socket 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG5[2140:3896]: ssh3 accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:1026 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG7[2140:3896]: FD 472 in non-blocking mode 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG7[2140:3896]: ssh3 connecting 129.32.20.14:8080 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG7[2140:3896]: connect_wait: waiting 10 seconds 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG7[2140:3896]: connect_wait: connected 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG5[2140:3896]: ssh3 connected remote server from 130.32.82.203:1027 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG7[2140:3896]: Remote FD=472 initialized 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG7[2140:3896]: TCP_NODELAY option set on remote socket 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG5[2140:3896]: Negotiations for connect (client side) started 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG7[2140:3896]: -> CONNECT xxxx.ath.cx:443 HTTP/1.1 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG7[2140:3896]: -> Host: xxxx.ath.cx:443 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG7[2140:3896]: -> Proxy-Connection: keep-alive 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG7[2140:3896]: -> Proxy-Authorization: NTLM TlRMTVNTUAABAAAAAgIAAA== 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG7[2140:3896]: -> 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG3[2140:3896]: Unexpected socket close (fdgetline) 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG5[2140:3896]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket 2009.04.01 15:34:09 LOG7[2140:3896]: ssh3 finished (1 left) If I decode the NTLM auth string, I only get the NTLMSSP header, which seems to be incomplete. If I recall correctly the domain and workstation info should be passed on as well. So question is, how do I get this to work? Is there any specific format that I need to use when using the protocol* settings for NTLM? Thanks and regards.
