building stunnel in FreeBSD
by Mirimir 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

In building the stunnel package from the port in FreeBSD 10.1, is it more secure to enable SSL_PORT? In particular, will that ensure that stunnel is using the latest openssl release? And if that is so, why is that build option disabled by default?

Stunnel for android
by Neacsu Mihai Adrian 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

Hello everyone. I am new to Stunnel, but i would like to compile a working version for Android L. The android version on the website is not compiled with PIE support, thus it does not run on Android L. I tried to look through the source code, and add the flags, -fPie and -pie, but i did not figure out where to do that. Also, after settings 755 on build-android.sh and running it, i get Permission denied on creating folders inside the /bin/android folder, even if i am running as root user. Any help is highly appreciated and i appologize if this has been already write in the archives, but i was not able to find anything related.

SSLscan does not display a certificate when connecting to stunnel
by Swonk, Glenn 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

When I open a connection to display the certificate, it works from openssl. openssl s_client -connect x58.swonk.com:444 However, when I use SSLScan, it only displays the supported server ciphers. SSLScan.exe --no-failed --sslv3 x58.swonk.com:444 I am troubleshooting a problem with a device which cannot connect directly to my https server and am trying to use stunnel to either forward the connection or help understand why it isn't working. The strange thing is that the 'Charles Proxy' (http://www.charlesproxy.com/) seems to forward the requests properly. Can anyone download a copy of SSLscan and test it against their connection?

External validation of client certificates
by Rene Bartsch 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

Hi, we're having a special use case and hope to find a solution in stunnel. In our use case clients use self-signed X.509 certificates to authenticate with our TLS-server. We don't have a CA but a database with usernames (DN) and fingerprints of the client-certificates. Is it possible with stunnel not to validate the client certificates against a CA but handover the Distinguished Name to an external application which returns the fingerprint to check the certificate against? -- Best regards, Rene Bartsch, B.

How to enable weak ciphers in stunnel

When I run stunnel, I would like to enable the weaker ciphers and protocols (SSLv3) for testing purposes.

capi, other engines not found at runtime

I used a precompiled version of OpenSSL, and modified this: SSLDIR=C:\OpenSSL-Win32 INCDIR=$(SSLDIR)\include LIBDIR=$(SSLDIR)\lib I thought that was all that would be needed, but apparently not. I then tried to go to make this modification: SSLLIBS=/LIBPATH:"$(LIBDIR)" libeay32.lib ssleay32.lib capi.lib thinking that maybe I need to explicitly add capi in, and again it compiles, but does not run. I have also tried to move the capi.dll from the LIBDIR into the same folder as the stunnel executable to make sure it was found, and I still have had no luck. Any ideas?

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

It's seems to be a problem in the new stunnel version 5.06 When I use the USERPROFILE directory, which contains special characters like "ö", i get an error: *[!] Cannot open log file: C:\Users\Bl?d\CSB\SSL\SmtpLog(0).txt* Is this a bug or must i change something ? The configuration file " SmtpConfig(0).txt" : ; Configuration file output = C:\Users\Blöd\CSB\SSL\SmtpLog(0).txt taskbar = yes cert = C:\Users\Blöd\CSB\SSL\stunnel.pem client = yes [ssmtp] accept = 8801 connect = smtp.1und1.de:465 The log says: [ ] No limit detected for the number of clients [.] stunnel 5.06 on x86-pc-msvc-1500 platform [.] Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.0.1j-fips 15 Oct 2014 [.] Threading:WIN32 Sockets:SELECT,IPv6 SSL:ENGINE,OCSP,FIPS [ ] errno: (*_errno()) [.] Reading configuration from file C:\Users\Blöd\CSB\SSL\SmtpConfig(0).txt [.] FIPS mode disabled [ ] Compression disabled [ ] GUI message loop initialized [ ] Snagged 64 random bytes from C:/.rnd [ ] Wrote 0 new random bytes to C:/.rnd [ ] PRNG seeded successfully [ ] Initializing service [ssmtp] [ ] Loading cert from file: C:\Users\Bl?d\CSB\SSL\stunnel.pem [ ] Loading key from file: C:\Users\Bl?d\CSB\SSL\stunnel.pem [ ] Private key check succeeded [ ] SSL options: 0x03000004 (+0x03000000, -0x00000000) [.] Configuration successful [ ] Listening file descriptor created (FD=456) [ ] Service [ssmtp] (FD=456) bound to 0.0.0.0:8801 *[!] Cannot open log file: C:\Users\Bl?d\CSB\SSL\SmtpLog(0).txt* [ ] Closing service [ssmtp] [ ] Service [ssmtp] closed (FD=456) [ ] Service [ssmtp] closed [!] Server is down greetings dirk

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. See the source for details: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/ssl/ssl_stat.c Best regards, Mike -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEARECAAYFAlRREk8ACgkQ/NU+nXTHMtGLPwCgiA1tfq7LhNC600d5eVbWugLk coUAn1mGA4mWBAchUu5+d6nYfxe0isgr =p4hH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

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.
