Patch to fix: Wildcard SSL certificates + SNI broken on Firefox
by Stephen Balukoff 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

Hello! I noticed that when dealing with wildcard certs in stunnel where an SNI configuration is being used, unless a specific servername context that exactly matches the browser's requested servername is in the stunnel.conf, stunnel responds to the client (web browser in this case) with a SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_ALERT_FATAL. Most browsers fall back to a non-SNI request, at which point, stunnel responds with whatever the master service's certificate is (which, if it's a wildcard cert, just works). However, at least one popularly-used web browser (Firefox) does not do this, and instead returns an error message to the user which they cannot (and should not need to) override to view the site contents. Since it's impractical to list all the possible servernames that can match at wildcard cert, and it's also impractical to expect the Firefox developers to change the behavior of their browser (when they shouldn't have to), and even more impractical to expect all the current users of Firefox to upgrade in a timely manner... I went ahead and wrote a patch for stunnel which instructs it to look for a matching wildcard certificate, if an exactly-matching servername isn't found. I've attached this patch to this message. Beyond fixing the stunnel+wildcard cert+SNI+firefox problem above, the secondary benefits of this patch are: * stunnel now responds immediately with a matching cert in the case of a wildcard cert, thus eliminating that first exchange which results in the SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_ALERT_FATAL error above. For stupid browsers and configurations with keepalive turned off + lots of requests per page and high latency, this should help to significantly improve performance. * stunnel will still choose an exactly matching cert if it's available and configured. (ie. if the browser requests 'subdomain.example.com', and there's a certificate configured in stunnel for 'subdomain.example.com' and another for '*.example.com', stunnel will respond with the ' subdomain.example.com' cert.) * one can now use multiple wildcard certs on a single IP:Port combination thanks to SNI. (Without this patch, you can effectively only use one wildcard cert per IP:Port combination with stunnel.) One note: It's been years since I've written any C code, so can't really vouch for the quality of my patch. I'm hoping at least the maintainers of this project see the utility of the patch I'm providing and write something similar in non-stupid C.

Question : prevent close-nofity alerts from stunnel-server
by bhakta79 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

Hello, I was trying MITM on a windows application (which talks to a M$ server). Stunnel was running on my windows xp machine. windows-client-app -> stunnel server ---> stunnel client --> M$ Server What I found is that stunnel server sends close notify alert to the windows client app which causes the client to suspend all further communication (busted windows-client of course!). I tried setting the TimeoutClose option to high values but I always saw the server sending close notify alert (is the timeout close only a client-side parameter?) Is there a way to configure server to not send close notify? stullen logs: 2012.11.28 18:32:12 LOG7[3908:5904]: SSL socket closed on SSL_read 2012.11.28 18:32:12 LOG7[3908:5904]: Sent socket write shutdown 2012.11.28 18:32:12 LOG7[3908:4232]: Socket closed on read 2012.11.28 18:32:12 LOG5[3908:5904]: Connection closed: 901 byte(s) sent to SSL, 38020 byte(s) sent to socket 2012.11.28 18:32:12 LOG7[3908:4232]: Sending close_notify alert 2012.11.28 18:32:12 LOG7[3908:4232]: SSL alert (write): warning: close notify 2012.11.28 18:32:12 LOG6[3908:4232]: SSL_shutdown successfully sent close_notify alert 2012.11.28 18:32:12 LOG7[3908:5904]: Remote socket (FD=356) closed <mailto:[email protected]> I finally ended up making this one line code-change to stop server from sending close alert that helped my MITM progress. src/client.c: if(!(SSL_get_shutdown(c->ssl)&SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN) && !sock_open_rd && !c->sock_ptr) { s_log(LOG_DEBUG, "BHAKTA - HACK -> Skip Sending close_notify alert"); *! if(0 && SSL_version(c->ssl)!=SSL2_VERSION) { /* SSLv3, TLSv1 */* s_log(LOG_DEBUG, "Sending close_notify alert"); shutdown_wants_write=1; } else { /* no alerts in SSLv2, including the close_notify alert */ s_log(LOG_DEBUG, "Closing SSLv2 socket"); if(c->ssl_rfd->is_socket) shutdown(c->ssl_rfd->fd, SHUT_RD); /* notify the kernel */ if(c->ssl_wfd->is_socket) shutdown(c->ssl_wfd->fd, SHUT_WR); /* send TCP FIN */ /* notify the OpenSSL library */ SSL_set_shutdown(c->ssl, SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN|SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN); } } Is there a way to prevent server from sending close notify alert by means of stunel.conf parameters? stunnel.conf: debug = 7 output = stunnel.log cert = fakecert.pem key = fakecert.key options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 [https] sslVersion = TLSv1 accept = 0.0.0.0:443 connect = 127.0.0.1:446 [https-client] client = yes sslVersion = TLSv1 accept = 127.0.0.1:446 connect = 172.24.244.11:443 TIMEOUTclose = 300

Brian, You are right. After changing the order, all wcecompatex.lib related link errors are gone! Thanks a lot. Also thank Pierre for dropping me another suggestion.

equivalent to SSLHonorcipherorder in stunnel?
by Mehdi Bennani 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

Hi, I was wondering if there were a flag available in stunnel, that would be the equivalent of the Apache directive 'SSLHonorcipherorder' ? I would like to basically be able to 'force' server preferences, rather then client ones, during cipher negotiation SSL handshake. Thank you, Elextra-

Max Cookie Size
by Scott McKeown 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone knows if its possible to pass a 'really' large cookie through STunnel. I've just built the latest version again (output below). However, we have a client that is looking to pass 16Kb (yes I know please don't tell me this is a bad idea a I know this!) via a cookie. Since we are looking to include STunnel in our offerings I was wondering if we could increase or change the maximum allowed size. I have a script that will generate a test cookie of any size that I require to test with but I can only get an 8K cookie to work. Any help would be great. ~Yours, Scott [root@localhost ~]# stunnel -version stunnel 4.54 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu platform Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.0.0-fips 29 Mar 2010 Threading:PTHREAD SSL:+ENGINE+OCSP+FIPS Auth:none Sockets:POLL+IPv6 Global options: debug = daemon.notice pid = /usr/local/var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes Service-level options: ciphers = FIPS (with "fips = yes") ciphers = ALL:!SSLv2:!aNULL:!EXP:!LOW:-MEDIUM:RC4:+HIGH (with "fips = no") sessionCacheSize = 1000 sessionCacheTimeout = 300 seconds sslVersion = TLSv1 (with "fips = yes") sslVersion = TLSv1 for client, all for server (with "fips = no") stack = 65536 bytes TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none [root@localhost ~]# -- With Kind Regards.

Problem using stunnel on Windows 7
by Hal Hovland 18 Nov '12

18 Nov '12

I've spent days googling this and read everything relevant in the archives. I'm developing a Windows 7 program that connects to a financial trading exchange that expects all communication to be SSL'd. Everything I read said that stunnel is the answer because of ease of installation and use. After a day of abortive attempts to link to the exchange, I decided to create a much simpler test environment involving two Windows 7 computers next to each other here. One, let's call it Riven-II (192.168.1.9), is set up with a simple Listener program that listens on port 8000. From stunnel's viewpoint this will be a server. The second machine, Lightning (192.168.1.158), has a simple Sender program that sends a text message via port 7999 to Riven-II (192.168.1.9:8000) - this will be the Client. In the absence of stunnel, all messages sent from Lightning/Sender appears on the window of Listener. So far so good. I've downloaded and installed the very latest version (4.54) of stunnel on both machines. On installation I entered the same responses to the certificate generating process. On the Server machine, hard wired to a Broadband Router, I configured stunnel.conf as (removing comments for simplicity) debug = 7 output = stunnel.log socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 cert = stunnel.pem key = stunnel.pem options = NO_SSLv2 taskbar=yes [Listener] connect=8000 accept=8001 On the Client machine, connected to the router via wi-fi, we have in stunnel.conf debug = 7 output = stunnel.log cert = stunnel.pem socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 fips=no options = NO_SSLv2 delay=yes taskbar=yes client=yes [sender] accept = 0.0.0.0:7999 (I've tried just 7999 and 192.168.1.158:7999, here. Makes no difference) connect = 192.168.1.9:8001 I've tried many variations with the same result, but the above is where they have ended up. My understanding of this is that stunnel both ends will be intercepting port 8000 on the Server and port 7999 on the Client and presenting/receiving SSL encoded messages across the wire on port 8001.

I'm sure I must be doing something stupid, but I've watched hours of YouTube videos, read many hundreds of web pages, and been through the documentation quite a few times, to no avail. I have a Java based version, running in a JVM in the same Windows machines, that talks perfectly to the exchange using some inbuilt SSL capabilities of an included library, so that should probably eliminate any hardware/router issues?

High memory usage problem.
by Jeremy Frady 11 Nov '12

11 Nov '12

Thanks for taking the time to read this. We're operating on a low spec system that can not be modified at this point. stunnel was introduced at the last minute, without consideration to resource requirements and now consumes enough ram to cause the kernel to issue OOM exceptions. So in short, we are trying to trade increased CPU usage for less memory usage and have tried setting “sessions” to 3600 to reduce memory pressure, but unfortunately it doesn't last. Our current solution is to cron a restart of stunnel on a regular basis, but would prefer to limit number of threads or number of cache entries or something else altogether similarly gentler. Thanks again for your consideration and assistance in this! If there's any specific information I can give, please let me know. Regards, Jeremy

How do I re-encrypt ssl traffic with stunel?
by Arsen Zahray 11 Nov '12

11 Nov '12

I'm trying to set up wireshark debugging of ssl traffic by following this article: http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Decrypt_SSL_(trusted_man-in-the-middle_t echnique) It lists following stunnel commands to do the job: Listen on local IP and de-SSL traffic to localhost:8080 sudo stunnel -p ps.pem -d 443 -r 8080 Listen on 8080, re-SSL to remote server on 443 sudo stunnel -c -d 8080 -r ps.palmws.com:443 The article seems outdated, and stunnel does not react on these commands anymore. Can anyone provide me with a proper configuration file to do the same?

FIPS enablement
by Michael Curran 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Hello I think there is a bit of confusion within my company on what stunnel can do in regards to FIPS 140-2 out of the box. I know there are configuration options that can enable or disable FIPS 140-2 mode, but as the man page indicates fips = yes | no Enable or disable FIPS 140-2 mode. This option allows to disable entering FIPS mode if stunnel was compiled with FIPS 140-2 support. default: yesWhich to me says I have to compile stunnel on my own using openssl with fips libraries to build a Stunnel binary that can support FIPS 140-2 compliance -- if I download just the windows or unix binaries and install them -- then I am not going to be 140-2 compliant where I set the config file to yes or no , since the FIPS modules wont be compiled into the binary. I'm just looking for confirmation before I take this back to the rest of my group. Thanks!! Michael Curran

Re: [stunnel-users] Fw: Using stunnel to add https to a webserver that doesn't have ssl setup
by mkanet＠yahoo.com 02 Nov '12

Thanks for the reply. Lots of friendly people on here. I should have probably posted my solution when I figured it out. I was already using a server-based method to handle redirection. However, what I didn't consider is adding a one line exception that distinguishes incoming requests from stunnel on 127.0.0.1 in order to prevent an endless loop. I did this by modifying my IIS URL Rewrite module rule to look like below. URL Rewrite module 2.0 is highly optimized; and is ideal for this kind of thing; works perfect under any circumstance; so long as webpages contain relative elements. Works like a charm. <rewrite> <rules> <rule name="HTTP to HTTPS redirect" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="(.*)" /> <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll"> <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignoreCase="true" /> <add input="{REMOTE_ADDR}" pattern="127.0.0.1" negate="true" /> </conditions> <action type="Redirect" redirectType="Found" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" /> </rule> </rules> </rewrite> ----- Forwarded Message ----- On Tue, 30 Oct 2012 15:05:54 -0700 (PDT) <mkanet(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > Thanks.

The easiest way is to use a server side language as PHP and ASP or CGI/perl (if ISS is capable, that I don't know). If you relay on client (javascript, meta refresh) you can't control the behavior of the client (javascript disabled by user or meta redirects). ISS is capable of PHP and, if you are using it, because you didn't tell, is easy (easy, but I haven't done as I don't know much of PHP (I just played a couple of times with it following tutorials)). With ASP, I don't know, but should be possible too. Here you have an example with PHP: http://www.iis-aid.com/articles/how_to_guides/three_methods_redirect_http_h… or this one: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5106313/redirecting-from-http-to-https-w… (second message). As I said, you have to do it transparent to the user without relying on them.

Fw: Using stunnel to add https to a webserver that doesn't have ssl setup
by Michael Avanessian 02 Nov '12

Thanks. I typically let my webserver handle SSL whenever I can since it's much easier that way; especially since I know how to handle http->https urlrewrites that way already; and, plenty of examples on the web for IIS. The reasons for adding stunnel into the mix in this scenerio completely outweight not having it at all. I couldn't find any examples anywhere showing how to handle a simple http to https URL redirect if stunnel is involved; not even in javascript.

FWIW, in situations where the port-80 service does *nothing but* hand out redirects to port 443, I typically let the full-blown webserver handle the HTTPS (whether natively or behind an SSL wrapper) and use a boilerplate PERL script (alas, not readily usable on Windows) for the redirecting. I've seen too many kinds of webserver doing redirections to autodetermined URLs that happen to miss some vital part of the originally requested URL, including some that *cause* the browser to drop from HTTPS back to HTTP in the first place. :-S Regards, ----- Forwarded Message ---- Thanks for the quick reply!

enabling https capability
by John A. Wallace 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I will give it a try because it seems likely that someone here can point me in the right direction if need be. I am not a programmer. I have an application that can make http connections but not https. The connections are made from a Windows command line interface, not a browser. I would like to enable it to make https connections too without having to reinvent the wheel. If there is some way to connect it to an intermediary proxy program that does have built-in support for the https protocol, that would be swell. Is such a thing possible or is there another solution I don't see? Thanks. John

6 processes + out of memory issues on CentOS 6 stunnel (4.29)
by Todd Rinaldo 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

I'm experimenting with using the stunnel that comes with CentOS 6 (4.29). I have a config file that is successfully being used on stunnel version 4.15 on the same host without any issues. My issues: 1. starting stunnel creates 6 processes. I assume this has something to do with libwrap, but I'm not finding much discussion about it by doing a search. I'm also assuming that the binaries are forking after load, so it's not a significant memory expense to do this due to COW. Is this correct? 2. I'm getting 't of memory' (no "ou" in the error) messages from syslog when I do more than one request via chrome to port 2087. The process indicated from the message points to the stunnel process that has ownership of the open ports. A single request to this port doesn't seem to spawn the issue. Can anyone suggest what might be causing this? Upgrading to a newer version of stunnel is possible, but I would prefer to keep the version Red Hat provides so they can be on the hook for CVE issues. My config file follows: ----- cert = /var/cpanel/ssl/cpanel/cpanel.pem chroot = /usr/local/cpanel/var/run/stunnel/ # PID is created inside chroot jail pid = /stunnel.pid setuid = cpanel setgid = cpanel # Service-level configuration [cpanelhttps] accept = 2083 connect = 2082 TIMEOUTclose = 0 [whmhttps] accept = 2087 connect = 2086 TIMEOUTclose = 0 [webmailhttps] accept = 2096 connect = 2095 TIMEOUTclose = 0

Using stunnel to add https to a webserver that doesn't have ssl setup
by Michael Avanessian 30 Oct '12

30 Oct '12

Hi there. I appreciate that you guys are all helping each other out. I am brand new to stunnel. Currently, I'm using stunnel to add https to a webserver that doesn't have ssl setup; which works great. I prefer to do that instead of using the webserver's builtin ssl feature. CONFIGURATION: Stunnel.conf includes (which adds ssl to incoming http traffic on port 443) [https] accept = 443 connect = 80 Also, incoming http:80 traffic can also come in; which would bypass stunnel, and go directly to the webserver as http. OBJECTIVE: I am trying to make it so when someone visits: http://mywebsite.com (it forwards automatically to https://mywebsite.com) Normally, I could do this a few different ways (provided my webserver had ssl added to it natively in a normal way) 1. webserver URL Rewrite plugin 2. webserver redirect plugin 3: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=https://mywebsite.com"> For whatever reason, I'm having all sorts of weird issues when trying the three methods above if I use stunnel for ssl instead of using the webserver's builtin ssl. The first two methods result in web browser redirect errors, the third method result in an infinite loop reloading the https website. Can someone please tell me what extra accommodation I need to make considering that using stunnel for https can complicate things. I'm using IIS 7.5 as my webserver. I've tried using the the URL rewrite 2.0 mod using the below rule (which works for normal builtin ssl support in the webserver: <rule name="Redirect to HTTPS" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="(.*)" /> <conditions><add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$" /> </conditions> </rule> I have also tried the "http redirect" mod; which I can forward to any website except for the one I'm trying to do. Both take me to the https equivalent and give a redirect error. Could someone please be kind enough to tell me what I'm missing? Thanks!

Hi, Michal. Good news about the update! I noticed that this version, the one for Windows installation, has many more files in it than the last version. It's no problem, but I was just wondering why the change this time? Thanks.

Safest suggested client/server stunnel configurations to prevent MITM attacks
by Michael K. Avanessian 22 Oct '12

22 Oct '12

I'm currently tunneling SSH over SSL using stunnel. I thought that stunneled ssh data was safe. However, recently I've read that if going through a sophisticated http/https proxy, it's possible to be hacked by a "legitimate" mitm attack to fool an SSL client. Is it still possible to configure stunnel so that ssl can't be compromised between both ends? I'm going to take a wild guess here; which I'm sure I'm probably wrong. But, could I just install stunnel; and, let it create automatically a self-signed (stunnel.pem) certificate file... then just copy that file to the stunnel install on the other end? That way both sides are already aware of each other's public keys; and, wouldn't be vulnerable during the initial unencrypted handshake? I'm sure I'm probably way off; and, there's more I need to do in stunnel's configuration to further ensure the SSL won't be compromised.. such as the stunnel "verify" setting. I'm not sure which setting to have it; and, what it actually does. I'm hoping someone could shed some light on this with simple suggested client--> server configs that would keep ssl uncompromised as much as possible. Thanks in advance!

Need help building FIPS capable Stunnel for Windows CE
by Bao, Robert 18 Oct '12

18 Oct '12

I am attempting to build a FIPS-capable Openssl for an XScale processor (ARMV4I) running under Windows CE 5.0 (using openssl-1.0.1c and openssl-fips-2.0.1), that was successful. Then I built the latest Stunnel (just released few days ago) with FIPS option turned on. The build appears to complete successfully. However, at run-time, entering FIPS mode fails and the following messages are produced: error stack: 2D079089 : error:2D079089:FIPS routines:fips_pkey_signature_test:test failure FIPS_mode_set: 2D06B06F: error:2D06B06F:FIPS routines:FIPS_check_incore_fingerprint:fingerprint does not match I have reviewed the build instructions outlined in the OpenSSL FIPS user guide carefully and believe all the build instructions have been adhered to. What needs to be changed for the signature to be properly embedded? Robert Bao Tyco

Unable to Stop Service - Windows XP SP3 x86
by Thomas Eifert 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

I just uninstalled Stunnel version 4.53 and replaced it with 4.54 on my Windows XP SP3 x86 machine. What I generally do is stop the service, uninstall the service, then uninstall Stunnel prior to installing the new version. When I attempted to stop the version 4.53 service via the start menu shortcut, I was unsuccessful; all that happened was that the Stunnel status/log window would launch. This was repeatable. Likewise, when I attempted to stop it from an elevated command prompt using stunnel.exe -stop, the result was the same. I am administrator on this machine. I launched services.msc, and was able to stop it from there without any difficulty. After I installed 4.54, just to see what would happen, I attempted to stop the service again using the same methods. Same result.. I just can't do it in the conventional manner. I checked to ensure that there was only one Stunnel service/process running, and that checks out okay. Not sure if others are seeing this issue, but thought I'd better let someone know about it. Thanks for the new version! Regards, Thomas -- Attention: This message and all attachments are private and may contain information that is confidential and privileged.

Client Authentication and CRL Verification
by Jean-Philippe Constant 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

Hi, I am using stunnel in server mode with mutual authentication. The PKI used to authenticate my client is the following : root CA -> Intermediate CA -> Client. My stunnel configuration is : CAfile = RootCA.pem CRLfile = IntermediateCACRL.pem verify = 2 RootCA.pem contains the Root CA certificate IntermediateCACRL.pem contains the CRL file of the Intermediate CA The client authentication with client certificate goes well. The problem occurs when a client certificate is revoked. After the Intermediate CA CRL updates, the client certificate is still accepted whereas it should be refused. With the following configuration the revoked certificate is refused : CAfile = IntermediateCA.pem CRLfile = IntermediateCACRL.pem verify = 2 but I would prefer using the first configuration. Everything happens like if stunnel checks the crl only for the CA certificate and not for the whole certification chain. Thank you for your answers, Jean-Philippe Constant

SSL proxy in Windows - IP Address Issue
by Brian McGinity 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

Thank you so much for stunnel. This program is amazing!!!! In Windows, I'd like to move SSL processing out of Apache and into stunnel. Is there a way for Apache to know the client's ip address? - In Windows, "transparent" mode is unavailable - "xforwardedfor" is for smtp and not https connections - "protocol = proxy" is for Haproxy only?

Asterisk with stunnel
by manjula hettiarachchi 15 Oct '12

15 Oct '12

Hi List I am new to stunnel, Just tried today to send Asterisk SIP request to stunnel client and forward to stunnel-server --> asterisk on another machine. (server ip=x.x.x.x) (client ip=y.y.y.y) Client config: cert=/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem client=yes pid=/tmp/stunnel.pid debug=7 output=/etc/stunnel/stunnel.log [sip] accept=16380 connect=x.x.x.x:17380 ================================ Server Config: cert=/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem #client=no pid=/tmp/stunnel.pid debug=7 output=/etc/stunnel/stunel.log [sip-IN] accept=17380 connect=5060 When tried 'telnet localhost 16380 from client machine i could see packets coming to server. However when Asterisk sends a sip request to port 16380, exten => _X.,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@y.y.y.y:16380,20,rt) i dont see packets forwaded to the server. Pls advise if anyone has used this scenario Best Regards Manjula

stunnel 4.54 released
by Michal Trojnara 09 Oct '12

09 Oct '12

Dear Users, I have released version 4.54 of stunnel. The ChangeLog entry: Version 4.54, 2012.10.09, urgency: MEDIUM: * New Win32 features - FIPS module updated to version 2.0. - OpenSSL DLLs updated to version 1.0.1c. - zlib DLL updated to version 1.2.7. - Engine DLLs added: 4758cca, aep, atalla, capi, chil, cswift, gmp, gost, nuron, padlock, sureware, ubsec. * Other new features - "session" option renamed to more readable "sessionCacheTimeout". The old name remains accepted for backward compatibility. - New service-level "sessionCacheSize" option to control session cache size. - New service-level option "reset" to control whether TCP RST flag is used to indicate errors. The default value is "reset = yes". - New service-level option "renegotiation" to disable SSL renegotiation. This feature is based on a public-domain patch by Janusz Dziemidowicz. - New FreeBSD socket options: IP_FREEBIND, IP_BINDANY, IPV6_BINDANY (thx to Janusz Dziemidowicz). - New parameters to configure TLS v1.1/v1.2 with OpenSSL version 1.0.1 or higher (thx to Henrik Riomar). * Bugfixes - Fixed "Application Failed to Initialize Properly (0xc0150002)" error. - Fixed missing SSL state debug log entries. - Fixed a race condition in libwrap code resulting in random stalls (thx to Andrew Skalski). - Session cache purged at configuration file reload to reduce memory leak. Remaining leak of a few kilobytes per section is yet to be fixed. - Fixed regression bug in "transparent = destination" functionality (thx to Stefan Lauterbach). This bug was introduced in stunnel 4.51. - "transparent = destination" is now a valid endpoint in inetd mode. - "delay = yes" fixed to work even if specified *after* "connect" option. - Multiple "connect" targets fixed to also work with delayed resolver. - The number of resolver retries of EAI_AGAIN error has been limited to 3 in order to prevent infinite loops..

by Bruce Guenter 28 Sep '12

28 Sep '12

Hi. As far as I can tell, if stunnel is running in "inetd mode", at least TIMEOUTbusy does not work. In particularl, stunnel will never timeout waiting for the SSL handshake to complete. If I'm reading the sources right, this is because the code to set up the SSL session calls SSL_accept before checking for data on stdin, and stdin is never set to non-blocking mode (only newly created sockets and/or pipes are). Would it make sense to set stdin (and stdout) to non-blocking mode when timeouts are enabled? Something in init_local maybe? -- Bruce Guenter <bruce(a)untroubled.org> http://untroubled.org/

SNI with wildcard certificates
by Gustavo Machado 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Hi, I would like to use SNI in combination with wildcard certificates. I currently have the following configuration: [https] accept = 443 connect = 80 TIMEOUTclose = 0 cert = C:\default.pem key = C:\default.key ;SNI Config ;========== [https_a] sni = https:one.org connect = 80 cert = C:\a.pem key = C:\a.key [https_a_wc] sni = https:*.one.org connect = 80 cert = C:\b.pem key = C:\b.key If I go to https://one.org then I can see a.pem in the browser. If I go to https://mysubdomain.one.org I see default.pem. What am I missing?? Thanks! Gustavo

Chain pem files
by Gustavo Machado 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Hi guys, Sorry for the newbie question, but I have the following configuration for an HTTPS endpoint: [https_one] sni = https:one.org connect = 44300 cert = D:\node\https\default.crt key = D:\node\https\default.key It works wonders, however I need to provide to this configuration two more .pem files for "chain". How would go about doing that? Thanks, Gustavo

Stunnel blocks booting process when no network connectivity
by Muschi Stevenson 25 Sep '12

25 Sep '12

My stunnel implementation works fine when the network is plugged in but it does not start at all, which stops the whole boot process, when there is no network connected on the machine (as a client). As extra information: - I'm using "delay=yes" - I'm using an fqdn (e.g: stunnel.mydomain.com) for the connections - Using stunnel 4.53 - Using ubuntu 12.04 but this also happened with centos5 previously however after some time it did boot on centos which doesn't happen in ubuntu How can this be avoided or a timeout specified? Doing an strace as suggested by symcbean shows the following (including the last part where it hangs): [...] --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) --- rt_sigreturn(0x11) = 0 close(3) = 0 wait4(-1, [{WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 0}], 0, NULL) = 6039 clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7ff9ce0c79d0) = 6046 wait4(-1, [{WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 0}], 0, NULL) = 6046 --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) --- rt_sigreturn(0x11) = 6046 write(1, "[Started: /etc/stunnel/stunnel.c"..., 37) = 37 write(1, "stunnel.\n", 9) = 9 exit_group(0) = ? [...] stunnel hangs in this line: wait4(-1, and when i plug in the network cable it continues to show [{WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 0}], 0, NULL) = 6046 Any help would be appreciated as this is critically blocking our deployment http://serverfault.com/questions/429072/stunnel-delaying-boot

"Broken pipe" issue
by Kai M. Becker 20 Sep '12

20 Sep '12

Hi :) although several postings state that this issue has been fixed, I'm still getting this error message: Error detected on SSL (read) file descriptor: Broken pipe (32) OS: OpenSuSE 11.4 stunnel: 4.53 The original problem for taking a closer look though, are hanging incoming connections. I.e. a https request is not forwarded to the backend application, but hangs somewhere in limbo. My current workaround are TIMEOUT* settings to kill these connections. Does anyone have some suggestions how to solve these issues? Kai -- == Kai M.

SSL renegotiation patch
by Janusz Dziemidowicz 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

Hi, since I couldn't find a better place I'm sending a simple patch that allows to disable SSL renegotiation here. Possible reasons for this: - famous renegotiation SSL flaw, patched in OpenSSL a long time ago, but not everyone can or want to upgrade OpenSSL - renegotiation makes some DoS attacks much easier (see http://www.thc.org/thc-ssl-dos/) regardless of it being a secure one or not - it is really not needed in many cases The approach is based on what is being done in Apache. The default is to allow renegotation, so there should be no surprises for anyone after upgrade. Patch applies on latest (4.54b4) stunnel beta. Feel free to comment:) -- Janusz Dziemidowicz

I am aware of this sysctl. However, this will allows any process on the system to bind to any address.

stunnel conf alternatives
by John A. Wallace 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

I have stunnel 4.53 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu platform on Win7 OS. I use it minimally at this point but I would like to see whether I can expand my use of it if possible. When I installed it, I simply saved all the program's files into one folder without actually using the Windows installer program, and then I made some entries in the "stunnel.conf" to make it serve my purpose. Right now to start the program I can go to a Windows command prompt in the stunnel folder and type "stunnel stunnel.conf". Then a little icon appears in the notification area of Windows Taskbar. What would happen, I mean how would it differ, if I just typed "stunnel" instead of having to specify the "stunnel.conf" file too? And how would I be able to make use of it in that case? Thanks.

Binding to non-local sockets
by Janusz Dziemidowicz 09 Sep '12

09 Sep '12

Hi, attached is very simple patch that allows to set IP_FREEBIND under Linux (IP_BINDANY/IPV6_BINDANY under FreeBSD) on an accept socket. I've stumbled upon this need due to the following situation (which I believe might be quite common): - I've already had stunnel instance happily serving one website on port 443, single domain - a need occurred to set up another domain - SNI cannot be used, because Windows XP doesn't support it (and it is still a very large user base) - no problem, I thought, I have a few public IPs available, just set stunnel up on another IP - and here comes the problem, I have two frontend servers with VRRP configured to migrate public IP between them, only one server has the public IP at a time - under normal circumstances it is impossible to bind to an address that does not exist on the server (in case of one domain I've simply bound stunnel to 0.0.0.0) - starting stunnel manually when the address migrates is not an option (VRRP daemon probably can start it, but I was not happy with that solution, I want all services working constantly on both servers so there are no surprises in case of a failover) - setting IP_FREEBIND on accept socket solves the problem, stunnel is working on both machines and I can migrate the public IPs however I want As stunnel already exposes low level socket options, adding support for IP_FREEBIND is very simple. I've also added similar FreeBSD options (tested on FreeBSD 9.0). Oh, and the patch is public domain;) -- Janusz Dziemidowicz

Race condition in libwrap_auth can hang threads waiting on libwrap process
by Andrew Skalski 05 Sep '12

05 Sep '12

I ran into an issue with stunnel (verified with the latest version) where under certain conditions, client connections will hang in the "Waiting for a libwrap process" state. The problem is a race condition in src/libwrap.c: 170 --num_busy; /* the child process has been released */ 171 if(num_busy==num_processes-1) { /* need to wake up a thread */ 172 retval=pthread_cond_signal(&cond); /* signal waiting threads */ 173 if(retval) { 174 errno=retval; 175 ioerror("pthread_cond_signal"); 176 longjmp(c->err, 1); 177 } 178 } Removing the statement "if (num_busy==num_processes-1)" is one way to fix the problem. The conditions under which the race condition occur are: - All libwrap processes are busy, and multiple threads are waiting [num_busy == num_processes] - One thread releases its libwrap process (this signals one of the waiting threads) - Another thread releases its libwrap process before the signaled thread has a chance to acquire and increment num_busy. Once that happens, all queued threads are stuck waiting on the condition variable, until stunnel is hit with enough concurrent connections to max out num_busy again. (Depending on traffic patterns, this may not happen for a long time.) Andy Skalski
