How to upgrade OpenSSL version that comes with Stunnel
by Paul Randall 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Hi folks, Can you please tell me the process for swapping out the version of OpenSSL that comes with Stunnel for a newer version of OpenSSL? Is there a quick way to do this or does it require recompiling Stunnel? Thanks. Paul

Hi, Is there an MSI installer available for Stunnel version 5.19 ? If so, has anyone tried to call the stunnel MSI installer from an Install shield installer?

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
