Using SNI in stunnel server
by Derek Cole 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

Hello, I have the following config on my stunnel server: Dereks-MacBook-Pro:server derek$ cat server.conf ;setuid = stunnel setgid = nogroup foreground = yes pid = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pid debug = 7 output = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.log options = NO_SSLv2 verify = 3 fips=no CAfile=/Users/derek/cert_attempts/root_certs/cacert.pem CApath=/Users/derek/cert_attempts/server/trusted/ [https] cert = /Users/derek/cert_attempts/server/domain.local.pem accept = 443 connect = 80 ;connect is the far-end openvpn connection [exit1] sni = https:exit1.domain.local cert = /Users/derek/cert_attempts/server/exit1.domain.local.pem connect=ovpn1:16081 [exit2] sni = https:exit2.domain.local cert=/Users/derek/cert_attempts/server/exit2.domain.local.pem connect=ovpn2:1195 I am trying to test whether this is working by using openssl s_client with something similar to the following: openssl s_client -connect 10.22.1.219:443 -cert ./server/domain.local.pem -servername exit2.domain.local Maybe I misunderstand - but why do I have to specify -servername there? I thought that if I specified -cert and it matched any of the cert= in my services that are in my stunnel configuration, it would automatically know to do that connect? It seems like if I level off -servername entirely, it always defaults to https no matter what cert I specify, and if I do have -servername, it always goes to that SNI regardless of what cert I use (or whether that cert is even valid). All three of these .pem files were generated and signed by the same CA that I created, and they all contain the public and private key. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks

Expired Certificate
by Andrew Smith 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

I am pretty new to Stunnel as I have inherited the project at my company. Yesterday the certificate expired on our Windows Server 2008 for Stunnel. What are the steps to renew this certificate? ________________________________ Andrew Smith Support Technical Services Analyst P: 614-875-4910 x109 F: 614-875-4088 E: andrew.smith(a)harriscomputer.com [http://www.harriscomputer.com/images/signatures/HarrisSchools.jpg] [http://www.harriscomputer.com/images/signatures/DivisionofHarris.gif]<http://www.harriscomputer.com/> 6110 Enterprise Parkway Grove City, OH 43123 www.harris-schoolsolutions.com<http://www.harris-schoolsolutions.com> This message is intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.

stunnel 5.02 released
by Michal Trojnara 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Users, I have released version 5.02 of stunnel. The ChangeLog entry: Version 5.02, 2014.06.09, urgency: HIGH: * Security bugfixes - OpenSSL DLLs updated to version 1.0.1h. See http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140605.txt * New features - Major rewrite of the protocol.c interface: it is now possible to add protocol negotiations at multiple connection phases, protocols can individually decide whether the remote connection will be established before or after SSL/TLS is negotiated. - Heap memory blocks are wiped before release. This only works for block allocated by stunnel, and not by OpenSSL or other libraries. - The safe_memcmp() function implemented with execution time not dependent on the compared data. - Updated the stunnel.conf and stunnel.init templates. - Added a client-mode example to the manual. * Bugfixes - Fixed "failover = rr" broken since version 5.00. - Fixed "taskbar = no" broken since version 5.00. - Compilation fix for missing SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING option.

OpenSSL dlls update for Windows (security advisory 20140605)
by Javier 07 Jun '14

07 Jun '14

Hi, as a mere user I ask, should we expect a new Stunnel version in a few days even it is not an Stunnel vulnerability or is it enough to just update ssleay and libeay with 1.0.1h by us under Windows? Just in case ssleay and libeay are compiled different than official builds. Regards. http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140605.txt

behavior change after enabling proxy protocol
by Philippe Anctil 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Hello, We use stunnel to secure a proprietary tcp/ip protocol over the internet. More specifially we have - 1 balancer - 2 stunnel boxes - 1 app server The load balancer 'pings' stunnel boxes regularly to know if one is down. Recently, we have added support for the proxy protocol in our app and turned it on in our stunnel config. It works great except for one small new behavior: upon receiving a load balancer ping, stunnel performs a connection on our app (and sends the proxy header). I ran a tcpdump for a telnet on the stunnel port (8000). With proxy protocol disabled, stunnel does nothing while it waits for the certificate. The connection ended at my request. 17:33:08.537385 IP 127.0.0.1.6015 > 127.0.0.1.8000: S 356922015:356922015(0) win 32792 <mss 16396,sackOK,timestamp 1085620573 0,nop,wscale 7> 17:33:08.537386 IP 127.0.0.1.8000 > 127.0.0.1.6015: S 1525966521:1525966521(0) ack 356922016 win 32768 <mss 16396,sackOK,timestamp 1085620573 1085620573,nop,wscale 7> 17:33:08.537393 IP 127.0.0.1.6015 > 127.0.0.1.8000: . ack 1 win 257 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085620573 1085620573> 17:33:19.750431 IP 127.0.0.1.6015 > 127.0.0.1.8000: F 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085631785 1085620573> 17:33:19.751065 IP 127.0.0.1.8000 > 127.0.0.1.6015: . ack 2 win 256 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085631786 1085631785> 17:33:19.751794 IP 127.0.0.1.8000 > 127.0.0.1.6015: R 1:1(0) ack 2 win 256 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085631787 1085631785> With proxy protocol enabled, stunnel establishes a connection to my app and sends the proxy protocol before even receiving the certificate. 17:34:35.370462 IP 127.0.0.1.6026 > 127.0.0.1.8000: S 2949098861:2949098861(0) win 32792 <mss 16396,sackOK,timestamp 1085707402 0,nop,wscale 7> 17:34:35.370475 IP 127.0.0.1.8000 > 127.0.0.1.6026: S 1044893129:1044893129(0) ack 2949098862 win 32768 <mss 16396,sackOK,timestamp 1085707402 1085707402,nop,wscale 7> 17:34:35.370481 IP 127.0.0.1.6026 > 127.0.0.1.8000: . ack 1 win 257 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085707402 1085707402> 17:34:35.371035 IP 127.0.0.1.37654 > 127.0.0.1.9000: S 801705083:801705083(0) win 32792 <mss 16396,sackOK,timestamp 1085707402 0,nop,wscale 7> 17:34:35.371046 IP 127.0.0.1.9000 > 127.0.0.1.37654: S 4068822820:4068822820(0) ack 801705084 win 32768 <mss 16396,sackOK,timestamp 1085707402 1085707402,nop,wscale 7> 17:34:35.371052 IP 127.0.0.1.37654 > 127.0.0.1.9000: . ack 1 win 257 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085707402 1085707402> 17:34:35.371583 IP 127.0.0.1.37654 > 127.0.0.1.9000: P 1:44(43) ack 1 win 257 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085707403 1085707402> 17:34:35.371595 IP 127.0.0.1.9000 > 127.0.0.1.37654: . ack 44 win 256 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085707403 1085707403> 17:34:50.484991 IP 127.0.0.1.9000 > 127.0.0.1.37654: F 1:1(0) ack 44 win 256 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085722515 1085707403> 17:34:50.485892 IP 127.0.0.1.37654 > 127.0.0.1.9000: . ack 2 win 257 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085722516 1085722515> 17:35:08.824661 IP 127.0.0.1.6026 > 127.0.0.1.8000: F 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085740854 1085707402> 17:35:08.824906 IP 127.0.0.1.8000 > 127.0.0.1.6026: . ack 2 win 256 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085740854 1085740854> 17:35:08.824972 IP 127.0.0.1.37654 > 127.0.0.1.9000: R 44:44(0) ack 2 win 257 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085740854 1085722515> 17:35:08.825013 IP 127.0.0.1.8000 > 127.0.0.1.6026: R 1:1(0) ack 2 win 256 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085740855 1085740854> Note I used 'tcpdump -i lo -nn port 8000 or port 9000' for both traces.

log format
by Philippe Anctil 04 Jun '14

04 Jun '14

I have noticed stunnel 5.01 log format is different when I run it under my account vs when I run it on the system. I don't remember seeing this with stunnel 4.56 and older. Format under my account: 2014.06.02 11:38:50 LOG6[26855]: SSL accepted: new session negotiated Format on the system: Jun 4 16:27:14 hostname stunnel: LOG6[11100:0]: SSL accepted: new session negotiated When I run under my account I normally save output to a separate file with output=. I guess this is what is having an influence on the log format? Is there any way I can have logging format in my account consistent with what I have in syslog? Thanks. -- Philippe Anctil

Problem with pidfile
by reg14＠rambler.ru 30 May '14

30 May '14

I run stunnel (version 5.00) as a non-root user which does not have write permissions to /var/run. So I created file /var/run/stunnel.log with right access for that user -rw-r--r--. 1 stunnel stunnel 0 May 28 21:31 stunnel.pid When I start daemon, it writes to logfile the following 2014.05.28 22:18:44 LOG3[8878]: Cannot create pid file /var/run/stunnel.pid 2014.05.28 22:18:44 LOG3[8878]: create: File exists (17) It seems that it tries to create pidfile in /var/run, and ignores that the file is already exists. As a result, pid is not written to stunnel.pid, and daemon crashes. Could this be fixed?
