stunnel 5.54 released
by Michal Trojnara 15 May '19

15 May '19

Dear Users, I have released version 5.54 of stunnel. Version 5.54, 2019.05.15, urgency: LOW * New features - New "ticketKeySecret" and "ticketMacSecret" options to control confidentiality and integrity protection of the issued session tickets. These options allow for session resumption on other nodes in a cluster. - Added logging the list of active connections on SIGUSR2 or with Windows GUI. - Logging of the assigned bind address instead of the requested bind address. * Bugfixes - Service threads are terminated before OpenSSL cleanup to prevent occasional stunnel crashes at shutdown. Home page: https://www.stunnel.org/ Download: https://www.stunnel.org/downloads.html SHA-256 hashes: 5e8588a6c274b46b1d63e1b50f0725f4908dec736f6588eb48d1eb3d20c87902 stunnel-5.54.tar.gz ed8424731f7d6e0c9b11f4c7b597a072e558dae7979102d0b213759678079481 stunnel-5.54-win64-installer.exe 7659f605065e5155577a99abe1129dbc89523796196c8bf50d3fa9265ec34d93 stunnel-5.54-android.zip Best regards, Mike

A zombie process is *terminated* and, basically, just a remaining entry in the kernel's process table. It's not hanging around because of something its own code did wrong, but because its parent process fails to "reap" its child (first and foremost, collect its exit code from the kernel). Killing the parent cleans up zombies because the zombies get re-parented to the init / systemd process (PID 1), which then does the reaping. Regards, -- Jochen Bern Systemingenieur

Yes. Use inetd (or equivalent). Making an independent server work is difficult due to the problems like you are having. Inetd is in many O/S included and essential, others available. It always works. Always. Yes, there is a tiny amount of overhead for making connections. On an ancient AIX IBM I manage 2-4 million XML documents exchanged per day with no problems, all with inetd. Try it – save yourself some misery. Or maybe it won’t help at all except to add information :) E From: stunnel-users [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Martin Got Sent: Monday, May 13, 2019 9:08 AM To: stunnel-users(a)stunnel.org Subject: [stunnel-users] Stunnel 5.44 server side 'exec = pppd' runs second child 'pppd' process after reconnection.

Unfortunately, stunnel was not designed for your use case; it was designed to allow many different clients to make use of different instances of the same server program, one instance per client. You might try to do something else: if you really only have a single PPP client and you can really guarantee that anything that connects to stunnel must reuse the same connection, you could write a separate program that listens on a TCP port or on a local Unix socket, waits for the first connection, starts an instance of pppd, and then, from that point on, sends all the traffic from this instance to all the connections that it has received, even if a new connection appears before the old one has been torn down. Then you can point stunnel to the local Unix socket of that service, and anything that connects to stunnel will establish a new connection to your service, but it will not matter, since your service will be written in such a way as to send all the traffic to all the connections. So the service should do something like: 1. Create a local Unix socket and start listening on it. 2. Wait for the first connection. 3. Start an instance of pppd (at most one instance shall be running at any point in time) 4. Keep waiting for new connections; accept any and treat them all in the same way. 5. If any data comes from a remote connection, send it to pppd. 6. If any data comes from pppd, send it to *all* the remote connections. 7. If any of the remote connections is closed, well, so be it, good riddance, another one will come along presently (or maybe another one has already come along and has started talking to pppd through this service). 8. If the pppd child process dies, close all the remote connections and go back to step 2. Then you shall only have a problem if there are two "real" connections from different places at the same time - but if I understand your setup correctly, this should not really happen, since it is only you (your laptop or something like that) that connects to the PPP server. If you want, I could try to whip up some simple implementation of such a pseudo-multiplexer.

Hello, We needed to reconfigure Stunnel for the SAP Business Objects server that sent email reports from G Suite over to a configuration that sends from an O365 account. The problem is that some of the reports work fine after the reconfiguration, while others always fail and I can't find out why and nothing has changed other than the mail settings. Microsoft doesn't even see the failed reports hitting their servers but when I look at Stunnel it seems like the TLS connection is being established correctly and I can see the connection being established from our firewall logs. I've attached the current O365 config as well as the old GSuite conifg, as well as logs of the debug output I see when I run a report that succeeds versus a report that fails. Can anyone give me an idea as to why Stunnel seems to be working to send out some reports but not others?

Problem with stunnel 5.51
by Carter Browne 08 May '19

08 May '19

I received the following error trying to connect to a Windows host using RDP. I use stunnel as a connection point with secure messages coming in and then forwarded as secure messages going the desired end point. Stunnel is running on all three systems, the originator, the relay, and the destination. I have been using stunnel in this role for many years. As an additional point, 5.51 did work properly in the same role for secure telnet. The part of the log showing the failure is below.

Automatic stunnel-client reconnect and keep initial session
by Martin Got 01 May '19

Which commands to stunnel can perform keeping session ID in case of stunnel-client reconnection? Do I add commands to both stunnel-client and stunnel-server to keep the initial session?

Keep initial session-ID when stunnel-client reconnect to a stunnel-server
by Martin Got 01 May '19

01 May '19

Trying to establish link using pppd connection overlapped into stunnel 5.44. Server runs on OpenBSD 6.4, client uses the same stunnel and OS versions. From the client's side I have to reconnect to stunnel-server in case of Internet link is dropped. And expecting that pppd session is kept by stunnel over reconnections possible. But stunnel-server runs another pppd instance when stunnel-client reconnects. After reconnection in system processes I see two pppd processes (as shows below), and pppd link has no pings after it. # ps -aux | grep pppd user 45359 0.0 0.0 440 1672 ?? I Tue11PM 0:00.01 lock passive 10.0.1.1:10.0.1.2 local debug noauth (pppd) user 1156 0.0 0.0 321 1210 ?? I Tue12PM 0:00.01 lock passive 10.0.1.1:10.0.1.2 local debug noauth (pppd) 1. The question is how to keep initial session established by stunnel-client and do not run second pppd process by stunnel-server? 2. May I keep session by cache-ID on the client's side only or do I need to do it on both client and server? Can it help not to run another pppd process? Both server config and client config parts are below: # cat /etc/stunnel/stunnel-server.conf ... [ppp] ;SERVER accept 1.2.3.4:443 exec = /usr/sbin/pppd execargs = lock passive 10.0.1.1:10.0.1.2 local debug noauth pty = yes CAfile = ca.crt cert = server.crt key = server.key verifyChain = yes TIMEOUTclose = 0 ... # cat /etc/stunnel/stunnel-client.conf ... [ppp] ;CLIENT client = yes retry = yes connect = 1.2.3.4:443 exec = /usr/sbin/pppd execargs = persist lock 10.0.1.2:10.0.1.1 local debug noauth name ppp-client pty = yes CAfile = ca.crt cert = client.crt key = client.key verifyChain = yes checkHost = hostname ;checkIP = 1.2.3.4 ... Thank you for answer in advance.

Yes, I do confirm this is the issue described in the Debian bug #880659. It wasn't a simple coding error, but rather a design flaw introduced in version 3.0 that took 20 years to identify and fix. Before version 5.18, released almost 4 years ago, the shutdown race condition mostly manifested itself while terminating stunnel under extremely heavy load, such as stress testing. The probability has increased with the introduction of periodic DH parameter regeneration in version 5.18. I didn't test it, but I suspect some changes in the OpenSSL internals may have also cause the crashes to only surface fairly recently, and not 20 years ago. The fix itself involves a major redesign of the stunnel threading subsystem, so I made a beta version and I'd appreciate your help with testing it: https://www.stunnel.org/downloads/beta/stunnel-5.54b2.tar.gz Best regards, Mike

Either "verifyChain" or "verifyPeer" has to be enabled
by kovacs janos 23 Apr '19

23 Apr '19

sorry to bother, again this is probably something simple, but i couldn't find anything about it. i'm trying to make stunnel NOT verify the certificate of the address it connects to. specifically because the certificate date will give an error, and i know its safe to connect there. whenever i put 'verify = 0' or 'verifyChain = no' or 'verifyPeer = no' in the configuration, i get an error saying 'Either "verifyChain" or "verifyPeer" has to be enabled', and so the configuration can't be applied. and i found nothing about this anywhere. or this could only be set on server Services? and there is no way to not verify if 'client = yes'?

Stunnel 5.44 client syntax to accept connections on pty?

18 Apr '19

How to use 'stunnel' in client mode to accept connections on pty from local programs like 'ppp' instead of 'accept=IP:PORT'? 'pty = yes' seems work in server mode only, so when I removed 'accept = 127.0.0.1:1723' from 'stunnel' client config I'm getting the error: [!] Service [ppp]: Each service must define two endpoints on stunnel-5.44 I need to call 'stunnel' client from 'pppd' and communicate with 'stunnel' using pty if it was possible by using a command: pppd /dev/ptyp3 10.0.1.2: local debug noauth passive noccp novj novjccomp nopcomp noaccomp name ppp-client connect 'stunnel /etc/stunnel/stunnel-client.conf' Both 'pppd' and 'stunnel' started by executing the command above, but 'pppd' can't communicate to 'stunnel' server using pty. Please advice.

Sending original IP (proxy) for smtp
by James Brown 16 Apr '19

16 Apr '19

I’d like stunnel to pass the incoming IP along, not stunnel's IP. My traffic flow is: Stunnel (accept on port 465) -> ASSP (an smtp proxy) -> Postfix (accept on port 10026) I tried: [ssmtp] client = no accept = 465 connect = 25 protocol = proxy But ASSP had: Apr-15-19 18:50:22 [Worker_1] Connected: session:7FE104AA1870 127.0.0.1:58954 > 127.0.0.1:25 > 127.0.0.1:10026 Apr-15-19 18:50:23 [Worker_1] 127.0.0.1 warning: got reply '502 5.5.2 Error: command not recognized' from 127.0.0.1 Apr-15-19 18:50:23 id-18223-03317 [Worker_1] 127.0.0.1 info: sending EHLO instead of HELO to 127.0.0.1 Apr-15-19 18:50:23 id-18223-03317 [Worker_1] 127.0.0.1 disconnected: session:7FE104AA1870 127.0.0.1 - processing time 1 seconds And Postfix had: 2019-04-15 18:50:22.995042+1000 localhost smtpd[33360]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] 2019-04-15 18:50:23.108756+1000 localhost smtpd[33360]: improper command pipelining after EHLO from localhost[127.0.0.1]: RSET\r\n 2019-04-15 18:50:23.273664+1000 localhost smtpd[33360]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] ehlo=2 rset=1 quit=1 unknown=0/1 commands=4/5 So I take it protocol=proxy is not the way to do it. Sounds like this only works with haproxy which I do not have installed. Is there a way to do this? The problem I am trying to solve is ASSP has lines like: warning: SMTP authentication failed on 127.0.0.1 - obviously I don’t want fail2ban to ban 127.0.0.1.

Possible memory leak at asn1_lib.c:412: 20417 allocations
by Marc Smith 12 Apr '19

12 Apr '19

Hi, I'm using stunnel version 5.44 with OpenSSL version 1.0.2r on Linux. I noticed if stunnel has been running for a while, we start observing these messages in the logs: Apr 12 19:12:11 localhost stunnel: LOG4[971]: Possible memory leak at asn1_lib.c:412: 20417 allocations Apr 12 19:12:11 localhost stunnel: LOG4[971]: Possible memory leak at tasn_new.c:180: 20416 allocations And indeed, the process is consuming memory at a steady rate, and continues to grow until stopped. I updated to the latest stunnel version (5.53) and I no longer see these "possible memory leak" messages in the logs, yet the process still appears to consume memory as before (until it gets very large and things stop working). Is this actually a bug in the OpenSSL library? I'm using the latest in that release series (1.0.2), but perhaps this is a "known" leak and resolved in OpenSSL 1.1.1? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Marc

OCSP validation via AIA responders through a proxy
by Olops, Daniel 12 Apr '19

12 Apr '19

Hello, stunnel v5.53 ignores proxy settings when performing OCSP validation via AIA responders. An open issue for OpenSSL at their GitHub suggests that this is a feature request for them (https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/6965), thus not being a stunnel limitation itself, and I've asked for clarification in the openssl-users mainling list (https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-users/2019-April/010285.html). In either case, I want do double-check it with you guys: is this really an OpenSSL limitation, or is this something that can be addressed in stunnel code? Regards, Daniel O.

I use this reference article as an idea: http://bremford.org/tips/QuickStunnelVPN.html While connecting from client's side by command: /usr/sbin/pppd ptypA 10.0.1.2: local debug noauth passive noccp novj novjccomp nopcomp noaccomp name ppp-clnt connect 'stunnel /etc/stunnel/stunnel-client.conf stunnel-client starts, pppd starts on client's end according to stunnel-clnt.log, but has LCP timeouts: # tail stunnel-clnt.log stunnel: LOG5[ui]: Configuration successful pppd[5421]: Connect: ppp2 <--> /dev/ptypA pppd[5421]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests pppd[5421]: Connection terminated. pppd[5421]: Connect script failed It seems no pppd pty client connection to stunnel-local nor remote stunnel-server afterwards. But when I tried to connect to stunnel-client port 1723 using telnet: telnet localhost 1723 I received pppd advertisements from remote stunnel-server. It seems exec = /usr/sbin/pppd on stunnel-server is running when client's stunnel-client connection appeared. Can it be a problem with pppd and stunnel-client using pty?

Stunnel 5.51 Pop3 Problem?
by Colin 10 Apr '19

10 Apr '19

Hello, I'm new to this list and looking for advice/help with release 5.51 for Windows. I have three accounts, Yahoo, Aol and Gmx and I use Foxmail 5 with Stunnel. I use pop3 with all accounts and sometimes when retrieving mail I may decide to 'Not Fetch' any mail on the server that looks 'iffy' untill I've looked at it via the mail providers website. Now I've just upgraded to version 5.51 (over 5.50) and when checking any of the said accounts I can't see any mail that hasn't been fetched (the server looks empty.) But if I login to the mail website the unfetched mail is there to view for all accounts. I reverted to version 5.50 and now I can see the unfetched mail for all accounts in my 3rd party software. Therefore my question is: Is there a problem (bug??) with 5.51 which stops me from seeing unfetched pop3 mail or do I have to add something to the config file to make it work properly? Thanks...Colin ============ The problem of mail not being seen on the server seems fixed in 5.52 but now another glitch has arisen. When trying to download mail from a server the programme keeps freezing at a certain point. Let's say if I have ten mails to download the programme will freeze at maybe the third one and won't download the rest. I can try it several times and everything freezes at the same point. Again I've gone back to 5.50 and all works perfectly. Any ideas on how to fix this or shall I stay with 5.50?
