Web mail browsing over stunnel
by Osvald Brko 05 Dec '18

05 Dec '18

Hello, I would like to use stunnel for mail reading from www.hotmail.com . But there are plenty of redirections, to outlook.live.com, login.live.com, outlook.office365.com etc., moreover IP adresses of these servers are changing... Is there any configuration which allowed to use such web server over stunnel? Regards, Olda

stunnel 5.50 released
by Michal Trojnara 04 Dec '18

04 Dec '18

Dear Users, I have released version 5.50 of stunnel. Version 5.50, 2018.12.02, urgency: MEDIUM * New features - 32-bit Windows builds replaced with 64-bit builds. - OpenSSL DLLs updated to version 1.1.1. - Check whether "output" is not a relative file name. - Major code cleanup in the configuration file parser. - Added sslVersion, sslVersionMin and sslVersionMax for OpenSSL 1.1.0 and later. * Bugfixes - Fixed PSK session resumption with TLS 1.3. - Fixed a memory leak in WIN32 logging subsystem. - Allow for zero value (ignored) TLS options. - Partially refactored configuration file parsing and logging subsystems for clearer code and minor bugfixes. * Caveats - We removed FIPS support from our standard builds. FIPS will still be available with bespoke builds.

PSK mode does not work correctly with TLSv1.3
by Zizhong Zhang 21 Nov '18

21 Nov '18

Hello, In TLSv1.3, session resumption has been reworked to be the same way as PSK. The client attempts resumption by appending a ticket as PSK identity to the head of the list. With OpenSSL 1.1.1, the server side should use the new SSL_CTX_set_psk_find_session_callback() callback instead of SSL_CTX_set_psk_server_callback() which is used by stunnel now. Because stunnel only verifies against the first PSK identity, stunnel will fail for every other connections it makes. This impacts the default configuration when running with OpenSSL 1.1.1 because TLSv1.3 is enabled by default. It may be confusing because only half of the connections will fail as the client will try to resume the last successful session for every second connections. I purpose that stunnel should switch to SSL_CTX_set_psk_find_session_callback() for OpenSSL 1.1.1, and that it preferably should default to a maximum version of TLSv1.2 because it might be compiled with OpenSSL 1.0.x but runs with OpenSSL 1.1.1 which will enable TLSv1.3 automatically. With regards, --Zizhong

Installing stunnel as a Windows service with another service name?
by Al Birchall 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

Hi, Is it possible to install stunnel as a Windows service with another name? I want to have multiple instances of stunnel running on the same Windows 2008 server, if possible. Many thanks. Al

Re: [stunnel-users] Multiple Instance of sTunnel on same machine
by Shah, Marmik 31 Oct '18

31 Oct '18

I would be connecting to different Vendors using sTunnel from my machine. I want to run multiple instance of sTunnel as hosted service on Window Server. How can I achieve that ? I can do that through Terminal but I want to install stunnel service per vendor (in Service Control Manager) so that I can manage them independently and stop or start based on Vendor's requirement. I can do this through Command Prompt. Thanks Marmik ............................................................................

Being just a dumb user, i supposed the distribution should stay 'in harmony': Ok now i know for oldstable this can be solved by backports or compiling stunnel with a static openssl-lib. Upgrading to stretch is not yet a choice because i am using stunnel with 'verify=3' which results in checking the self-signed client-certs at the server: Can't tell why but my cacert file was generated with a CAFile value of FALSE, which worked until jessie but at stretch the request results in a reject by the openssl-lib because of the FALSE-value. So first i have to renew and deploy all my customers certs - about 80 - with a stretch-conform cacert performing with CAFile=true. Hans -- https://hoermann-solutions.com

Static linking is much easier, especially when put in a non-standard place, such as /usr/local/customer-name/lib -- this means if somebody does an update of say openssl alone you won't have this problem. You can also do it non-static as long as it is in a non-standard place and be pretty safe. My versions have stunnel 5.44 and openssl 1.0.2 -- works fine. It is static and keeps on ticking.

Re: [stunnel-users] CPU 100%

Somewhere there is a physical network card - checking the firewall/router for traffic is a good idea no matter what it is running on. VMs have lots of clever software to isolate each instance (including resources) and you may be being streamed at a rate the VM as whole can handle, and your isolated VM cannot. And setting the debug level up is still a good idea. And forcing core files and using a debugger is still a good idea. And trying inetd mode is still a good idea. You need to narrow your focus and each of these suggestions will tell you something that narrows the problem. Eric From: Murrey, Brian J.

Every once in a while it would spew uncontrollable bytes onto the network. If you open a stunnel connection and it does that this could very well be the problem. If it cheap, try changing the network card. If not, you should be able to look in your firewall/router and it will tell you who is sending what bytes to whomever. See if that machine is indeed streaming the bytes in massive quantities. If not, I would suspect your stunnel is getting stuck in it's own loop. There are a million reasons this can happen (well a few less than a million) - such as maybe a bad library in the FreeBSD or a bad choice in the Makefile - such as doing threads or something in a way your O/S does not like (I use threads=fork or whatever it is, instead of actual threading). You might tinker with some of the options that make the stunnel build and try different ones. Especially if stunnel was compiled on a different version of the O/S - could be differences in bytes in things and who knows what.

One other suggestion - run it in inetd mode. This is MUCH simpler, stunnel will not have to do as much forking and managing and so forth. The O/S will do all that. I know - it is a little less efficient. However, I have found on modern Centos and AIX computers that even with very high volumes it makes no measurable difference. If nothing else, it is another debugging technique. Especially if the runaway process is the parent process . because that does not exist under inetd mode.

Also a good idea. That would be found in the log ASAP certainly with a high debug level. Might fill the filesystem for the log if that is so :) Does FreeBSD support kill -9 (or is it 11?) that forces a core dump? If so, when you kill it and leave a core file, you can use the debugger on that core file and see what it is doing. Look at the stack trace. You may need several to catch the problem. If it is simply in a read() type state then the other machine is streaming you. If it is loop around you should see it in a different place in each core file (the odds of hitting the same line of code when kill it every time are not good). I do not know what debuggers you have (gdb?) but that is another trick.

What exactly makes you think that this does not include OpenSSL support? The configure script seemed to find the include/openssl/ directory in the directory that you specified; does the build fail somehow later? If it does, show us the logs from the failed build. Or does the compiled executable does not say "Compiled with OpenSSL 1.1.0i"? If it does not, show us the full build log (maybe use a pastebin-like service somewhere, e.g. paste.debian.net).. BTW a question: is /root/stunnel/openssl-1.1.0i the place you extracted and compiled OpenSSL, or the place you installed it after building it? If you just built it there, you also need to install it somewhere and point the stunnel configure script at the directory where it is installed, not at the build tree. This might mean that you may need to rebuild it again after specifying a --prefix or something like that (I do not remember exactly how the OpenSSL build works).

Re: [stunnel-users] build static stunnel with openssl

Make openssl and stunnel static. That is what I do and I consider it MUCH smarter than dynamic. I got tired of getting support calls because stunnel stopped working because the user installed a new openssl. Static will always work. Another piece of advice – do NOT put it on /usr/local/opensl or /usr/local/stunnel (or whatever the defaults are). Before building make your OWN directories. Our short name for our product is “met” so we use /usr/local/met/obj and /usr/local/met/bin for the object and binary files, respectively. This ensures nobody will install over you. This is also a real security issue mostly ignored. Most people have heard of SQL injection (where SQL is modified to do what the developer never intended). However, DLL injection (e.g. dynamic library injection) is a real problem. I could easily install an openssl DLL that does exactly what it should do … and sends the same data in clear text (or with my own encryption) to my machine. A thief could simply install one dynamic library and then OWN your data.

server mode support for both ECC and RSA server certificates
by Tom Hood 02 Oct '18

02 Oct '18

Hi, Can one stunnel service in server mode be configured with both ECDSA and RSA server certs? The stunnel man page Certificates section suggests only one can be specified along with its CA chain. Use case is some legacy clients don't support ECDSA, but it would be nice to support ECDSA when a client does support it. It appears that HAProxy supports this <https://www.haproxy.com/blog/serving-ecc-and-rsa-certificates-on-same-ip-wi…>,but I'm hoping there is an equivalent way to do this with stunnel. I'm currently testing with stunnel 5.49 with OpenSSL 1.0.2p on Solaris 11.3, but can rebuild with any version of openssl if that helps. Thanks, -- Tom

Re: [stunnel-users] stunnel log rolling
by Eric Eberhard 17 Sep '18

17 Sep '18

Most O/S will either prevent renaming a file that is in use (or deleting it). Some will – but they will actually continue to write to the old file (and if that file was deleted then it writes to a file you can nexer see). Since I generally use AIX it is the second feature I see. We have systems with over 500 connections via stunnel – it never rests, and rolling the log file is not easy. I can easily provide a code fix for stunnel that we use in out software. It allows daily logs, sized logs, etc. And it rolls properly. The downside is we open the log, write to it, and close it – each time – which is not efficient. Given modern computers I have come to not care. So the open routine either opens (append) a daily file or it looks up the file and gets the size and decides to move it (or not). The second is not perfect … if three other processes have it open at the moment they will finish writing to that log. Who cares? As long as the logging is always opening and closing the “bleed over” is minimized. If people want me to do this, I will – if they can tell me the log routines it would speed me some, preventing from having to search for them. We like and prefer the daily logs – it is clean as you get one per day. As long as one day is never too huge it is great and we have daemons that remove logs over xx number of days (although I could add a simple parameter for that as well and simply kill those files). This is an annoying problem – especially for multi-O/S software – but one I am good at.

It hasn’t rolled over like Apache in my short experience. log = append | overwrite log file handling This option allows you to choose whether the log file (specified with the output option) is appended or overwritten when opened or re-opened. default: append Best regards, Dan Daniel Trickett Head of Database Services | MBS Business Technology BX-TCS-O Oracle ERP Business Services of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany Planned Absence – MilliporeSigma A business of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany EMD Millipore Corporation | 80 Ashby Road | Bedford, MA 01730 | USA office 781-533-3017 |cell 978-761-3506 |email <mailto:[email protected]> daniel.trickett(a)emdmillipore.com From: Tom Hood <tom.w.hood(a)gmail.com <mailto:[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2018 1:10 PM To: Daniel Trickett <daniel.trickett(a)emdmillipore.com <mailto:[email protected]> > Cc: stunnel-users(a)stunnel.org <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [stunnel-users] stunnel log rolling Hi Daniel, The trick is how to roll the logs without an interruption of service (i.e. without a stunnel restart).

I built stunnel 5.49 with gcc 4.2.0 on Solaris 10. I'm running it on Solaris 11.3 SPARC. Using openssl 1.0.2p The config file has disabled syslog and is logging to stunnel.log. Command line is: stunnel stunnel.conf where stunnel.conf contains the following: syslog = no output = stunnel.log debug = 7 [service-exterior] client = no options = NO_SSLv2 options = NO_SSLv3 options = NO_TLSv1 options = NO_TLSv1.1 options = -NO_TLSv1.2 cert = /path/to/stunnel.pem curve = zzz accept = testhost:32100 connect = 127.0.0.1:32200 <http://127.0.0.1:32200> [service-interior] client = yes options = NO_SSLv2 options = NO_SSLv3 accept = 127.0.0.1:32200 <http://127.0.0.1:32200> connect = 127.0.0.1:32100 <http://127.0.0.1:32100> sslVersion = TLSv1 ciphers = zzz TIMEOUTconnect = 60 The log rollowing steps I tried that don't work are: mv stunnel.log stunnel.log.1 kill -USR1 <stunnelpid> The log message "LOG7[main]: Processing SIGNAL_REOPEN_LOG" shows up in stunnel.log.1. However, new client connections to host:32100 do not trigger creation of a new stunnel.log file. In fact, logging stops to stunnel.log.1 as soon as the USR1 is processed. The new client connections work as before, but there isn't any logging. I restarted stunnel and tried the test again with these steps: mv stunnel.log stunnel.log.1 touch stunnel.log kill -USR1 <stunnelpid> That also doesn't work. Please let me know the correct sequence of steps to roll the stunnel.log Thank you, -- Tom This message and any attachment are confidential and may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.
