SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert internal error
by Andrew Heuneman 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

Hello, We recently implemented Stunnel on Centos 5.6 for ssl offloading for our java application. The application has applets to communicate java objects over https to a tomcat server on the server side. We have it setup in front of our Alteon/Radware load balancer. This hardware load balancer is capable of ssl load balancing, but has produced a very specific packet reset that only presents itself in ssl processing. We decided to implement Stunnel in front of this load balancer to fix this problem. Ssl offloading was working great with Stunnel until we ran into Java 7. if I run any version of our applets on java 6 they work. If i run java 7 they do not work. I have tried googling and looking for this error but I have only found some references to SNI... is this correct? Is there anything I can do. Please forgive me if i have omitted any details I will be more than happy to include a packet capture or other details if needed. I compiled stunnel with the following options ./configure --disable-libwrap --bindir=/usr/sbin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl also i compiled OpenSSL 1.0.0d with the following ./Configure threads shared linux-generic64 stunnel -version No limit detected for the number of clients signal_pipe: FD=3 allocated (non-blocking mode) signal_pipe: FD=4 allocated (non-blocking mode) stunnel 4.42 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu platform Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.0.0d 8 Feb 2011 Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Auth:none Sockets:POLL,IPv6 stunnel 4.42 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu platform Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.0.0d 8 Feb 2011 Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Auth:none Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Global option defaults debug = daemon.notice pid = /usr/local/var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes Service-level option defaults ciphers = ALL:!SSLv2:!aNULL:!EXP:!LOW:-MEDIUM:RC4:+HIGH curve = prime256v1 session = 300 seconds sslVersion = TLSv1 for client, all for server stack = 65536 bytes TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none str_stats: 112 block(s), 4046 byte(s) stunnel.conf cert=/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem debug=7 output=/var/log/stunnel.log socket=l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket=r:TCP_NODELAY=1 [https] accept=0.0.0.0:443 connect=172.16.18.100:80 session = 300 TIMEOUTbusy = 300 TIMEOUTconnect = 10 TIMEOUTidle = 43200 client = no stunnel.log 2011.08.22 16:58:49 LOG7[438154:47689394220768]: Service https accepted FD=2 from 10.0.11.27:46830 2011.08.22 16:58:49 LOG7[438154:1104877888]: Service https started 2011.08.22 16:58:49 LOG7[438154:1104877888]: Option TCP_NODELAY set on local socket 2011.08.22 16:58:49 LOG5[438154:1104877888]: Service https accepted connection from 10.0.11.27:46830 2011.08.22 16:58:49 LOG7[438154:1104877888]: SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization 2011.08.22 16:58:49 LOG7[438154:1104877888]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client hello A 2011.08.22 16:58:49 LOG7[438154:1104877888]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write server hello A 2011.08.22 16:58:49 LOG7[438154:1104877888]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write certificate A 2011.08.22 16:58:49 LOG7[438154:1104877888]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write key exchange A 2011.08.22 16:58:49 LOG7[438154:1104877888]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write certificate request A 2011.08.22 16:58:49 LOG7[438154:1104877888]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 flush data 2011.08.22 16:58:49 LOG7[438154:1104877888]: SSL alert (read): fatal: internal error 2011.08.22 16:58:49 LOG3[438154:1104877888]: SSL_accept: 14094438: error:14094438:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert internal error 2011.08.22 16:58:49 LOG5[438154:1104877888]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket 2011.08.22 16:58:49 LOG7[438154:1104877888]: Service https finished (1 left) 2011.08.22 16:58:49 LOG7[438154:1104877888]: str_stats: 0 block(s), 0 byte(s) 2011.08.22 16:59:01 LOG7[438154:1104947520]: Socket closed on read 2011.08.22 16:59:01 LOG7[438154:1104947520]: Sending SSL write shutdown 2011.08.22 16:59:01 LOG7[438154:1104947520]: SSL alert (write): warning: close notify 2011.08.22 16:59:01 LOG6[438154:1104947520]: SSL_shutdown successfully sent close_notify 2011.08.22 16:59:01 LOG7[438154:1104947520]: SSL alert (read): warning: close notify 2011.08.22 16:59:01 LOG7[438154:1104947520]: SSL closed on SSL_read 2011.08.22 16:59:01 LOG7[438154:1104947520]: Sending socket write shutdown 2011.08.22 16:59:01 LOG5[438154:1104947520]: Connection closed: 49445 bytes sent to SSL, 8175 bytes sent to socket -- Thank You, Andrew Heuneman Senior Systems Administrator Reading Plus®/Taylor Associates Helping students become proficient silent readers. <http://twitter.com/readingplus> <http://www.facebook.com/pages/Reading-Plus/165970877038>

Internal error after reload modified server mode section
by Javier 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

Hi, I didn't found this question, so I hope isn't duplicate. I'm using the latest stable 4.42 version and I'm running Windows 2000 and I want to ask is this is a normal behavior. What is happening is that, after change the server section in the config file (the rest are all client mode), if it has been any connection to that server (and only if it has been a connection), when I reload the modified conf, it gives...: INTERNAL ERROR: get_alloc_list_ptr: Bad magic str_stats: 380 block(s), 96684 byte(s) This happens after no errors in the load (except for DH being hardcoded), SSL context initialized Configuration successful after open every service (clients and server) and then, after the error, closes every service. Trying to reload the conf, doesn't nothing, just stunnel hangs (is not responding to reloads). The only way to restart all is to close stunnel and reopen. Then, the configuration is accepted without problems and works perfectly. This happens, as I said, after modify the conf file and if it was a connection. The section is related to a local test server, where I modify the IP and/or ports where to accept and where to connect. As general options I have: debug = debug delay = yes And the server section: [mySSL] client = no cert = mytestpem.pem accept = 127.0.0.1:443 connect = 127.0.0.1:80 What I'm doing wrong? Is the normal behavior? Is it a new bug? Regards, Javier.

Compiling Stunnel For Windows
by Albert 05 Sep '11

05 Sep '11

Hi, I want to compile stunnel for windows, to include the XMPP patch (that I managed to apply cleanly to the current stunnel code) that I saw on the mailing list earlier as I need to get it to connect to a SSL only server in client mode. I followed the instructions in the Install.w32 file 1) apt-get install gcc-mingw32 - Worked fine with no issues 2) Download the recent zlib from http://www.zlib.net/ , Update the following definitions in win32/Makefile.gcc file: etc *snip* Worked fine as far as I can tell 3) Download the recent OpenSSL in unpack it to /usr/src/ directory., cd /usr/src && tar zvxf ~/openssl-(version).tar.gz I got OpenSSL 1.0.0d 4) Build OpenSSL with cross_mingw32.sh script. I ran instead ./Configure --cross-compile-prefix=i586-mingw32msvc- mingw shared zlib-dynamic && make it seems to have worked fine 5) Download and unpack stunnel-(version).tar.gz. -got stunnel 4.42 6) Configure stunnel. cd stunnel-(version) && ./configure --with-ssl=/path/to/openssl-(version) This step worked fine 7) Build windows executable. cd src && make stunnel.exe The first few compile steps work fine, but I get stuck on: ...i586-mingw32msvc/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto.dll I did a few hours of troubleshooting and trying to move a few files around but couldn't find crypto.dll anywhere I'm running a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04 in a VM if that makes any difference. Help would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks, Albert

Changing the secure tunnel 'encryption' method ....
by VANDOOREN, Pascal 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

Hello Everyone, I have a question, Why use you a certificate and not a hash AES, or other crypting algorithm to make a secure tunnel ? Because i use not a validate cert and i can only generate a cert valid for maximum 1year ... In the config file you can let the choice to use the cert or hash .. It's only a idea Kind regards Pascal -- This e-mail is confidential.

stunnel : binding in ipv6+ipv4 : problem
by Guylhem Aznar 27 Aug '11

27 Aug '11

Hello I have a problem with stunnel : I just don't know how to specify 2 different port forwarding, one for all ipv4 connections to port 443, the other for all ipv6 connections. Either one seem to work, but I can't have both at the same time. In my /etc/hosts : 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1 localhost6 0.0.0.0 listenall4 :: listenall6 In my stunnel.conf: [sslh] accept = listenall4:443 connect = 127.0.0.1:444 TIMEOUTclose = 0 [ssl6] accept = listenall6:443 connect = 6.guylhem.org:80 TIMEOUTclose = 0 I have read that linux can block ipv6 sockets if the ipv4 socket is created first, but here the order doesn't change anything. I though that stunnel was ipv6 capable, but apparently it doesn't play well with ipv4 on the same port. So I tried to remove one of the listenall : the listenall4 is important, but listenall6 is not. Yet giving a AAAA only host like 6.guylhem.org does not help - even if it goes before the listenall4. So I'm stuck. Has anyone patched stunnel for such a situation? Guylhem

stunnel4 tcp_nodelay
by Madhu R 21 Aug '11

21 Aug '11

Hi, We are using stunnel in order to tunnel http proxy traffic. Is it better in this case to turn on Nagle's algo? I have tried to set socket=l:TCP_NODELAY=0 and socket=r:TCP_NODELAY=0 in the global config, but when I look at debug log it keeps saying option tcp_nodelay is set on local and remote socket. Is this a bug, or is there a different way of turning off tcp_nodelay (since I understand this is on by default now) Regds

centos 6 - stunnel 4.42 unusable (libssl trap divide error) in FIPS mode (default)
by draeath 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

I just finished building and configuring stunnel 4.42 on my x86_64 CentOS6 box. It appears to run, but not long into the SSL connection stunnel dies. Log info below. This only happens if I do NOT specify --disable-fips during ./configure (as it enables FIPS by default). I assume this is because FIPS compliancy requires a key to have a passphrase, which my key does not have?

Hello all, Can someone give me information about SIP encryption with stunnel please ? Is it possible to transform a SIP message on TCP into a SIP TLS message with stunnel ? Thank you very much for your help, Regards > Message du 16/08/11 11:38 > De : "margot.basa" > A : stunnel-users(a)stunnel.org > Copie à : > Objet : SIP encryption with stunnel > > Hello all, I would like to know if stunnel is able to encrypt a SIP message (UDP or TCP => TLS...) For example: Terminal A can send/receive SIP messages on transport layer UDP or TCP but not TLS. Server B can send/receive SIP messages only in TLS. If terminal A sends a SIP REGISTER message to Server B, does stunnel is able to intercept the message and transform it ? port 5060 => port 5061 TCP => TLS sip uri => sips uri Do you think it's possible with stunnel ?

When X-FORWARDED-FOR for Stunnel ?
by Elodie BOSSIER 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Greetings, Why you don't implement X-FORWARDED-FOR into stunnel ? I have found this patch : http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/patches/stunnel-4.32-xforwarded-for.diff but this on is to much old, i'm with stunnel 4.41 and i can't go to 4.32 because i need SNI, implemented since 4.38 I have attempt to modify the patch to match with the current version, in begining it's ok but not after, all line code have changed and i'm not developer. X-FORWARDED-FOR is very important and exist on mostly all the frontend web and usuable by all the web server. Someone told me to switch to Nginx because X-FORWARDED-FOR don't exist in Stunnel ... I would like stay on Stunnel because it's only a light tunnel. The patch have only 219 lines, could you help me please to addapt it to the version 4.41 and/or add this feature into Stunnel please ? This is the "manual" to apply the patch : http://www.buro9.com/blog/2009/12/07/installing-haproxy-load-balance-http-a… Just need to add "xforwardedfor=yes" into your config file and should be OK. With this feature, I won't have need to "play" with this (censured) of transparent = source, iptables rules, tcpdump and root exec ... Thanks so much ... Elodie.

stunnel 4.42 released
by Michal Trojnara 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Dear Users, I have released version 4.42 of stunnel. This is a security bugfix release. Upgrade is highly recommended! The ChangeLog entry: Version 4.42, 2011.08.18, urgency: HIGH: * New features - New verify level 0 to request and ignore peer certificate. This feature is useful with the new Windows GUI menu to save cached peer certificate chains, as SSL client certificates are not sent by default. - Manual page has been updated. - Removed support for changing Windows Service name with "service" option. * Bugfixes - Fixed a heap corruption vulnerability in versions 4.40 and 4.41. It may possibly be leveraged to perform DoS or remote code execution attacks. - The -quiet commandline option was applied to *all* message boxes. - Silent install (/S option) no longer attempts to create stunnel.pem. Home page: http://www.stunnel.org/ Download: ftp://ftp.stunnel.org/stunnel/ SHA-256 hash for stunnel-4.42.tar.gz: d33c407bfc4f58070e818081bd082c38f91cab7691ccbb794da63143c535de3b Best regards, Mike

stunnel transparent mode
by Julian D. Seifert 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Hi List, I have a little issue trying to get stunnel running for encapsulating an existing service with SSL. We are running a really old legacy ircd service and would like to provide SSL for the users without having to actually hack that into the really old code base. (Yes we could just use another more modern software but let's just say there are "political" reasons as to why this is not an option) For an ircd we need transparency as in "the ircd should think the connection is not coming from localhost") ANYWAY... so I am working with stunnel 4.39 right now. First a question if I understand it correctly how stunnel will work. I have the ircd running on IP1:6667. I created a service section like this. [ircd] accept = 7000 connect = 6667 transparent = source (And applied the iptables/routing related stuff mentioned in the documentation) Should this already work? Will stunnel "manipulate" packets so that the IRCD "sees" connections from the Peers IP's? And will the Answers the ircd sends to the peers get "intercepted" by stunnel so it can "remanipulate" the answers into the SSL connection? If I try it like I get "local_bind (original port): Cannot assign requested address (99) stunnel" and clients get connection abort. Or is this what "transparent = both" is for? With 4.39 I had an issue trying to use "transparent = both". Stunnel always displayed an error message saying "Each service must define two endpoints" (more or less). I got it to compile by commenting out the one line in options.c causing the error... #### snip #### } else { /* standalone mode checks */ if((unsigned int)section->option.accept + (unsigned int)section->option.program + (unsigned int)section->option.remote + (unsigned int)section->option.sni #ifndef USE_WIN32 + (unsigned int)section->option.transparent_dst #endif /* USE_WIN32 */ !=2) { section_error(last_line, section->servname, "Each service must define two endpoints"); return 0; } ### snap ### Commented out the line within the ifndef. Anyway... I hope somebody can clarify for me how stunnel works and what transparent mode is the one I need. (I want to transparently provide the ircd service with connections so it seems they are directly from the peers and not from stunnel(localhost)) regards, Julian Seifert -- I hate mondays...

[[email protected]: Bug#637932: stunnel4: segfault if certificate file cannot be read during verification]
by Rodrigo Gallardo 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

----- Forwarded message from Sebastian Leske <Sebastian.Leske(a)sleske.name> ----- Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2011 21:21:05 +0200 Package: stunnel4 Version: 3:4.40-1 Severity: normal I use certificate verification with stunnel4 (verify=2 in stunnel.conf). I accidentally changed the access rights of a PEM file required for verification to be unreadable. As a consequence, stunnel4 incorrectly reports "Verification error: self signed certificateVerification error: self signed certificate" (the cert in question is not self-signed), then segfaults. With stunnel4 version 4.29-1_i386, this does not occur: stunnel4 correctly reports that it cannot access the PEM file.

Sending "LOGOUT" when using StartTLS offloading?
by Markus Borst 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

I have to cope with a very unusual imap server behavior, but maybe stunnel can help me: Can stunnel send an imap command ("XX LOGOUT"), just before closing the tcp session? Setup: I use stunnel for SSL/TLS offloading, both via extra port (993) and StartTLS emulation (143). Our imap server (Mercury) has a very peculiar feature: If a tcp connection is closed without properly closing the imap session first (LOGOUT), the server discards certain attributes, specifically, it "forgets" all deletions since last logout. Since many imap clients just tear down the connection in certain cases (for example Thunderbird going into offline mode, many webmailers or stunnel reaching it's "TIMEOUTidle"), this causes mails to be undeleted. We currently use an older version of the mailserver, since only the newest is broken. Needless to say, this does not go well with our users. A fixed version of the imap server may never come, so, until we can switch all users to a new mail system: Is it possible to use stunnel to send an additional imap command before closing the tcp connection (something like "999 LOGOUT")? The command should be sent no matter why the connection is closed, either because the client closed it, a timeout is reached or stunnel is unloaded. If the connection is already cleanly logged out, this doesn't matter, in all other situations it would help. Would it be possible to send such a command, or could this be added as a new feature?

SIP encryption with stunnel
by margot.basa 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Hello all, I would like to know if stunnel is able to encrypt a SIP message (UDP or TCP => TLS...) For example: Terminal A can send/receive SIP messages on transport layer UDP or TCP but not TLS. Server B can send/receive SIP messages only in TLS. If terminal A sends a SIP REGISTER message to Server B, does stunnel is able to intercept the message and transform it ? port 5060 => port 5061 TCP => TLS sip uri => sips uri Do you think it's possible with stunnel ? Thank you very much for your input. Regards Une messagerie gratuite, garantie à vie et des services en plus, ça vous tente ? Je crée ma boîte mail www.laposte.net

Stunnel and CryptoAPI
by ratmahat＠hush.ai 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hello everyone! I have an interesting question, which i didn't find any answer to after several searches. 1. What if I want to enable client verification with client certificate provided by smart card? Is it possible? 2. Does stunnel has the capability to access Windows certificate store in order to verificate the client certificate with the CA in the store? If anyone ever dealt with this, I'd really appreciate this. Thanks, Rat.

Odd stunnel problem
by Tristan Schmelcher 09 Aug '11

09 Aug '11

My company uses stunnel on a telecom product and we have run into a strange problem. One of our customers sees an issue every couple weeks where the stunnel process becomes busted. Attempts to establish a connection through stunnel to any host hang indefinitely. Interface stats indicate that stunnel sends and receives a flurry of packets--as if a TLS connection was successfully established--but the local plaintext socket connection to stunnel never passes data. For example, if attempting to run telnet over stunnel, the telnet client just sits there and doesn't write anything to the terminal. During this time the network is otherwise functioning fine. Unfortunately nothing is logged by stunnel when this happens and we haven't been able to reproduce the problem in a controlled environment. Does anyone have any ideas what might be happening? We currently use stunnel 4.35 with debug = warning, sslVersion = TLSv1, and verify = 2.

Tray icon options
by Sebastian Rose-Indorf 08 Aug '11

08 Aug '11

Hello, many thanks for the new Stunnel versions! I have installed 4.42b3 manually (Vista SP2 64 bit). The tray icon options "Edit stunnel.conf" and "Reload stunnel.conf" do not find the conf file, and the option "Manual" has no effect. At program start Stunnel finds the Conf file without problems (start link: "drive1/path1/stunnel.exe drive2/path2/stunnel.conf"). Greetings seb
