Truncated responses with stunnel >= 5.05
by Tuomas Silen 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

Hi there, After upgrading to stunnel 5.07 I've seen a lot of truncated http responses. I've tested different versions and 5.04 is the last one to work fine. There seems to be fixes to a similar issue in 5.05, but at least for me the result seems to be the opposite. I'm on Ubuntu 12.04. Looking at the logs, the log entries are identical except for one part, the amount of data sent to SSL: stunnel >= 5.05, not working: LOG3[31153]: transfer: s_poll_wait: TIMEOUTclose exceeded: closing LOG5[31153]: Connection closed: 67584 byte(s) sent to SSL, 184 byte(s) sent to socket stunnel 5.04, works: LOG3[6248]: transfer: s_poll_wait: TIMEOUTclose exceeded: closing LOG5[6248]: Connection closed: 113051 byte(s) sent to SSL, 184 byte(s) sent to socket It's worth noting that in both cases the closing happens after TIMEOUTclose has exceeded (probably because of a missing close notify?). In any case, apparently less data is sent to SSL and that's how it seems like; the end of the http responses get truncated. If everything's very fast (e.g. localhost connections only) the problem seems not to happen, not very often at least. With connections between two servers I've been able to reproduce it pretty much every time in my setup (stunnel -> haproxy -> apache -> unicorn). Undefining the POLLRDHUP or reverting the changes in 5.05 to src/client.c seem to fix the problem for me. Any ideas what would be a proper fix? Thanks! Best regards, Tuomas Silen

[BUG] SSL directory scan breaks cross-compilation
by John Spencer 05 Nov '14

05 Nov '14

it seems between 5.02 and 5.06 a "SSL directory scan" was introduced. for main_dir in /usr/local /usr/lib /usr/pkg /opt/local /opt /usr; do for sub_dir in /ssl /openssl /; do check_ssl_dir "$main_dir$sub_dir" && break 2 this ofc breaks cross-compilation. the concept of searching for a library directory is completely broken. if just adding -lssl -lcrypto to LDFLAGS doesnt find the openssl libraries at link time, the user's compiler toolchain is wrongly set up, and its not the job of a package to work around that by searching through a number of directories. it's the user's job to fix his toolchain by supplying the right -L paths in case he's got his library installed in a non-standard location. also, there's pkg-config (which supports crosscompilation via a PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR env var) in case a library needs elaborate CFLAGS. --JS

The debug messages produced by stunnel can sometimes be confusing. They are intended to be helpful to developers, and not end-users. OpenSSL implements the SSL/TLS/DTLS protocols with three separate finite state machines: SSLv2, SSLv3, and DTLS1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automata-based_programming All TLS protocols use the SSLv3 state machine, thus the state name does not reflect the actual protocol being negotiated.

Configuring Stunnel 4.1 to use TLS
by Deepak Subbanarasimha 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

Hello, I had some questions on Stunnel version for Windows. 1. Does Stunnel 4.1 support TLS? 2. If yes, what version of TLS does it support(TLS1.0, TLS1,1 or TLS 1.2 ) 3. How can I tell if an Stunnel instance is using SSL or TLS 4. Does anyone have instructions to configure Stunnel 4.1 to use TLS 5. Can you share an example of stunnel.conf with TLS turned on Thanks, DEEPAK SUBBANARASIMHA Kewill DDI: +00 (1) 978 482 2625 Email: deepak.subbanarasimha(a)kewill.com<mailto:[email protected]> www.kewill.com<http://www.kewill.com/> Tel: +00 (1) 978 482 2500 | Fax: +00 (1) 978 482 2501 1 Executive Drive, Chelmsford, MA 01824, USA IMPORTANT NOTICE: This email is intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or otherwise exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

Stunnel server as transparent proxy
by Derek Cole 28 Oct '14

28 Oct '14

Hello, Is it possible to use stunnel server as a transparent proxy? I was digging through the manpage and I see the transparent= option. What I would like to do is have an stunnel client connect to the stunnel server, and once traffic is at the server, go to the original destination that the traffic going to the stunnel client was destined for. I.E. Can I have firefox proxy to my stunnel client, which connects to my stunnel server, and then that traffic goes to whatever website the end user was trying to hit in firefox? My Stunnel server is on a CentOS box: [root@CentOSTunTest ~]# uname -a Linux CentOSTunTest 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Nov 22 03:15:09 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux And my stunnel.conf foreground = yes > debug = 7 > options = NO_SSLv2 > fips = no > output=/usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.log > > > [https] > cert=/usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem > accept = 443 > connect = 80 > > [Internet] > cert=/usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem > sni = https:Internet > transparent=destination > So basically in the transparent option is Internet is what I am wondering if it works the way I expect. I see this in the log file: 2014.10.23 09:57:05 LOG3[11414]: setsockopt SO_ORIGINAL_DST: Protocol not available (92) 2014.10.23 09:57:05 LOG5[11414]: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to SSL, 0 byte(s) sent to socket I see this in the stunnel manpage: For a connect target installed on the same host: /sbin/iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport <redirected_port> \ -m ! --uid-owner <stunnel_user_id> \ -j DNAT --to-destination <local_ip>:<stunnel_port> For a connect target installed on a remote host: /sbin/iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport <stunnel_port> -j ACCEPT /sbin/iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport <redirected_port> \ -i eth0 -j DNAT --to-destination <local_ip>:<stunnel_port> What does it mean "for a connect target installed on the same host" I thought transparent meant I was not using a connect target except the original destination. Does this mean I should implement the IPTables for a remote host, since I want my client to just reach the internet? Thanks for the help in advance!
