Comments on daily DH Parameters regeneration...
by Taed Wynnell 06 Oct '17

06 Oct '17

We've been experiencing pain due to the daily STunnel regeneration of the DH Parameters. On our single-core machines in the field, this process will use 100% of the CPU for possibly an extended time. This interferes with other tasks that the machine is intended for. What's odd is that this process time ranges wildly, ranging from as low as 3 seconds to 90 minutes, even on the same machine. We see this behavior on all (thousands) of our machines, now that we know what to look for (the "Cron jobs completed in" trace in stunnel.log). We now know that we can set the DH Parameters in the configuration file, and that's what we'll be doing going forward. (Unless someone has another idea to offer.) I'd like to suggest some ideas for the future since I've seen on the mailing list that there are others who have run into this issue: * If the DH Parameter regeneration would run at Idle priority instead of Normal priority, it would not be nearly as noticeable, in that the CPU usage would still be there, but it wouldn't impact other services. The recomputation may be done in a separate thread, if so, this is straight-forward. * If there were a configuration file parameter to specify the regeneration interval. It would default to 24 hours (which is the current behavior), but could be set to a longer interval, a shorter interval for extreme security, or even to never. STunnel would still regenerate at the time of the service starting, unless a fixed DH is found in the configuration file. If a fixed DH were specified in the configuration file, that would avoid the service start computation and the interval would default to never. If both a fixed DH and the interval were specified in the configuration file, it would use the specified interval and recompute only after that interval.

Using Chrome directly as an STunnel Client to connect to an STunnel Server
by Dipen Doshi 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

Hello, I am new to STunnel and I am running into a problem. Here is my setup. I use an ASUS router with Merlin firmware. I have STunnel installed via Entware on this router. Running "stunnel -version" gives me: stunnel 5.41 on mipsel-openwrt-linux-gnu platform Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.0.2k 26 Jan 2017 Threading:PTHREAD Sockets:POLL,IPv6 TLS:ENGINE,FIPS,OCSP,PSK,SNI Global options: RNDbytes = 64 RNDoverwrite = yes Service-level options: ciphers = FIPS (with "fips = yes") ciphers = HIGH:!DH:!aNULL:!SSLv2 (with "fips = no") curve = prime256v1 debug = daemon.notice logId = sequential options = NO_SSLv2 options = NO_SSLv3 sessionCacheSize = 1000 sessionCacheTimeout = 300 seconds stack = 65536 bytes TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I use my own server certificate signed by my own CA. This cert has the proper SANs with correct DNS/IP entries. I use this server certificate both for my router's HTTPS web gui and for the "cert" and "key" files listed in the config file below. Also, the "CAfile" in the config is pointing to my Root CA's certificate. My Root CA is also imported in my Windows box's certificate store. I can directly access my router's web gui from LAN side via these ports: 80 (HTTP), 2000 (HTTPS). Router's LAN subnet is 10.49.49.0/24 and the router's WAN IP is 10.76.5.3 (it is double NAT for testing, this router is for testing) Also, STunnel is running as a server accepting connections on port 443 (all interfaces) on the router. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I want to use Chrome directly as an STunnel client on my Windows box. So, I don't run STunnel on my Windows box in the client mode. SITUATION 1: WORKS FINE!! -- PURPOSE: Use Chrome to connect to "https://WAN_IP:443" This should forward to the router's port 80 (HTTP protocol used). My STunnel config file on the router has: setuid = nobody setgid = nobody foreground foreground = yes syslog = yes debug = 7 [Test-Service] accept = 443 connect = 10.49.49.1:80 requireCert = yes verifyChain = yes CAfile = /mnt/Merlin/entware/etc/stunnel/ca.crt cert = /mnt/Merlin/entware/etc/stunnel/server.crt key = /mnt/Merlin/entware/etc/stunnel/server.key SITUATION 2: DOES NOT WORK!! -- PURPOSE: Use Chrome to connect to "https://WAN_IP:443" This should forward to the router's port 2000 (HTTPS protocol used). There is only one change from the Situation 1 config file. The line for "connect" changed to "connect = 10.49.49.1:2000) This does not work. Note that I can directly access my router's web gui over https with "https://LAN_IP:2000" via Chrome, with no warnings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My thoughts: So, my current path is Chrome (Acting as STunnel Client) --> STunnel Server (on the router) --> Router's Web GUI. The "Chrome --> STunnel" Server connection is fine. Chrome prompts for private key and STunnel server correctly shows this incoming Chrome connection. The problem is the "STunnel Server --> Router" relay that uses HTTPS protocol. 1. STunnel does not like HTTPS to HTTPS relay. HTTP to HTTPS works, but not HTTPS to HTTPS. 2. STunnel server on my router is a client to my router's web gui. Is STunnel verifying the certificate of my router's HTTPS certificate? 3. If the above answer is yes, my guess is that STunnel sees a self signed certificate for this router and kills the connection? 4. How do I tell STunnel server to ignore certificate warnings for a remote connection, like when connecting to this router? 5. Or how do I explicitly tell STunnel to trust my Root CA while making this connection to my router? I couldn't find any options in STunnel for this. Regards, Dipen Doshi

Bug: Modifying configure.ac results in error
by Reschke, Sven (VWIF G-TS/P) 22 Sep '17

22 Sep '17

Hallo, I've encounter a problem when editing the configure.ac. I've upgraded to Stunnel 5.42, the problem wasn't existent with Stunnel 5.41. The normal operation is that "./configure" and "make" will run without an error. So far, so good. Now, if I edit the configure.ac, running again "./configure" and "make", "make" will report: CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh <path_to_stunnel_sources>/stunnel-5.42 /auto/missing aclocal-1.14 -I m4 cd . && /bin/sh <path_to_stunnel_sources>/stunnel-5.42 /auto/missing automake-1.14 --gnu CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh <path_to_stunnel_sources>/stunnel-5.42 /auto/missing autoconf configure.ac:4: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_NOTICE If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. configure.ac:23: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE make: *** [configure] Error 1 Here it doesn't matter what I change in configure.ac. Even the slightest modification results in the error. After some investigation, running "make" with "-d" showed that it will call auto/missing, because of the newer version of configure.ac. Comparing aclocal.m4 before and after calling "make" shows, that mainly the lines added between the version 5.41 and 5.42 are missing now (lines #23 - #741). As I'm not so familiar with the whole compile process, I found a simple hack, which solves the problem for the moment: Adding these missing lines to a new file named m4/acinclude.m4. After that, compiling, installing and running Stunnel works fine. Can someone verify? If you have questions, I'll try my best to answer them :) Best Regards, Sven Reschke Embedded System SW Developer G-TS/P

stunnel w & w/o data compression
by Daniele Basaldella 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

Dear all, I use stunnel in clinet configuration to get data feeds from several sources. Until now none of them requested data compression, so the configuration was easy. Now I need to connect to a new data feeder that requires zlib compression. I found the compression method is a global setting, so it will be not compatible with current setup. The server runs Ubuntu 16.04LTS, ker 4.4.0.92.lowlatency, stunnel 5.30, openssl 1.0.2.g. I looked for a solution on internet but seems no one have my issue. Someone could suggest how to get both compressed/uncompressed data feed connections on same system. Thank you Best Regards Daniele

Timeout issue I think
by Ben Bazian 16 Aug '17

16 Aug '17

I have a legacy server that uses IMAP but does not support TLS. I am using stunnel and since implementation I am getting errors when an email has a larger attachment. My application process these attachments and when done (sometimes can take 5-10 minutes) it marks the message for deletion. When all messages are completed it purges the emails from the box. My app is throwing an error when it tries to delete the message (see below). I think it may be due to stunnel closing the connection to the server? Not quite sure. javax.mail.FolderClosedException at com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPMessage.getProtocol(IMAPMessage.java:105) at com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPMessage.loadEnvelope(IMAPMessage.java:941) at com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPMessage.getSubject(IMAPMessage.java:238) at com.softlinx.docurouter.source.email.EmailSourceConnector.processMess ages(EmailSourceConnector.java:1213) at com.softlinx.docurouter.source.email.EmailSourceConnector.process(Ema ilSourceConnector.java:1455) at com.softlinx.docurouter.source.email.EmailSourceConnector.main(EmailS ourceConnector.java:1622) My configuration is pretty simple. I saw somewhere that I could put a timeoutidle on the connector but that does not seem to help. Any ideas are appreciated. Here is the config. # Stunnel configuration file for Office 365 SMTP and POP3 # Author: MessageOps, www.messageops.com<http://www.messageops.com> # GLOBAL OPTIONS client = yes output = /etc/stunnel/stunnel-log.txt debug=3 # taskbar=yes # SERVICE-LEVEL OPTIONS [POP3 Incoming] accept = 110 connect = outlook.office365.com:995 timeoutidle = 14400 [SMTP Outgoing] protocol = smtp accept = 25 connect = outlook.office365.com:587 [IMAP] accept = 143 connect = outlook.office365.com:993 timeoutidle = 14400 Here is a printout of the global options.
