FD_MAX question
by Eckert, Doug 27 Oct '11

27 Oct '11

Greetings, We're using stunnel-4.15-2.el5.1 as provided on the RHEL 5 update 7 distro. Is there any way to override the FD_MAX setting (64 IIRC), perhaps as a stunnel.conf option?

Mostly guessing here, but: 1. stunnel uses the OpenSSL libraries. The verify(1) manpage says: "The verify program uses the same functions as the internal SSL and S/MIME verification, therefore this description applies to these verify operations too. [...] The verify operation consists of a number of separate steps. Firstly a certificate chain is built up starting from the supplied certificate and ending in the root CA. It is an error if the whole chain cannot be built up. The chain is built up by looking up the issuers certificate of the current certificate. If a certificate is found which is its own issuer it is assumed to be the root CA." -- http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/verify.html#VERIFY_OPERATION So I'd guess that the algorithm you're at odds with is part of OpenSSL, rather than something stunnel can change. 2. Certificates are to be considered invalid once they have been revoked, and in order to check the CRL, you have to determine the issuing CA. Whose certificate has to be checked against its parent CA, etc. all the way to the Root CA. A "verification" mechanism which does not check for explicit revocation would have to be considered faulty for *most*, if not all, application cases - the fact that automated CRL checking is still pretty much absent in mechanisms which do not *mandate* a working Internet connection notwithstanding. 3. Since you're apparently trying to set up a point-to-point SSL connection with preconfigured direct trust, my guess would be that you'd be better off if the server would use a self-signed cert (either altogether, or in addition to the current one - say, on an additional port). However, since you never mentioned what kind of software you're trying to get to talk to each other, I'm at a loss suggesting *how* you might do that. Regards, J.

Because the SVR cert is used to signed your own cert, this ensure liability between svr & cli; and if it was only the SVR cert, how could you revoke client by client? You would be obliged to revoke all clients at once - which doesn't look like a very good strategy if you've got 1000's of clients... -- You will be dead within a year.

stunnel 4.45 released
by Michal Trojnara 24 Oct '11

24 Oct '11

Dear Users, I have released version 4.45 of stunnel. The ChangeLog entry: Version 4.45, 2011.10.24, urgency: LOW: * New features - "protocol = proxy" support to send original client IP address to haproxy: http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/1.5/doc/proxy-protocol.txt This requires accept-proxy bind option of haproxy 1.5-dev3 or later. - Added Win32 configuration reload without a valid configuration loaded. - Added compatibility with LTS OpenSSL versions 0.9.6 and 0.9.7. Some features are only available in OpenSSL 1.0.0 and later. * Performance optimizations - Use SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS if supported by the OpenSSL library. - Libwrap helper processes are no longer started if libwrap is disabled in all sections of the configuration file. * Internal improvements - Protocol negotiation framework was rewritten to support additional code to be executed after SSL_accept()/SSL_connect(). - Handling of memory allocation errors was rewritten to gracefully terminate the process (thx to regenrecht for the idea). * Bugfixes - Fixed -l option handling in stunnel3 script (thx to Kai Gülzau). - Script to build default stunnel.pem was fixed (thx to Sebastian Kayser). - MinGW compilation script (mingw.mak) was fixed (thx to Jose Alf). - MSVC compilation script (vc.mak) was fixed. - A number of problems in WINSOCK error handling were fixed.

Check IP or Name of Client Or Server by Common Name
by Tigran Petrosyan 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

Hi all, I have made patch for stunnel-4.43. It helps you to switch on in the file of stunnell.conf new features, the option name is verify_peer. you can read more about it after patching, compiling and running the command "stunnel --help". The goal of this option to verify clients or servers "ip addreses or names of ip-addreses" with "Common name" of certificate. This option is very flexible and usable. It's possible to switch it of or use it as in field of global options and in service-level options. verify_peer = client_name | client_ip | remote_name | remote_ip -- Tigran Petrosyan

Attempting to debug slow stunnel connections
by Lamont Lucas 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

Hello stunnel-users, I've recently setup stunnel in front of haproxy to handle SSL connections. While it worked fine in testing, my simplistic benchmarks showed it unable to do more than 9 req/s, and as we turned some production traffic on, it appears that threads and connections quickly pile up and eventually timing out. I assume I've made some error in configuration, or there is something odd with my setup, as it appears stunnel has been benchmarked and performs well beyond what we're attempting here. I've read the FAQ and as much from the mailing list archives as I thought applicable, and I was unable to see any red flags or errors similar to what I'm seeing. If you don't mind, I'd like some help debugging the issue or pointers as to what else I could do to debug the issue. I've included details about my compile and configuration as well as the edited startup section from the debug (7) log. I compiled stunnel 4.44 with ./configure --disable-ipv6 --disable-libwrap --disable-fips. It's running on a different box than where it was compiled, but both machines should be identical. openssl version -a OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008 built on: Thu Sep 3 14:22:06 EDT 2009 platform: linux-x86_64 options: bn(64,64) md2(int) rc4(ptr,int) des(idx,cisc,16,int) blowfish(ptr2) compiler: gcc -fPIC -DOPENSSL_PIC -DZLIB -DOPENSSL_THREADS -D_REENTRANT -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -DKRB5_MIT -I/usr/kerberos/include -DL_ENDIAN -DTERMIO -WallM OPENSSLDIR: "/etc/pki/tls" engines: dynamic stunnel.4.44 -version stunnel 4.44 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu platform Compiled/running with OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008 Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Auth:none Sockets:POLL,IPv4 Global options: debug = daemon.notice pid = /usr/local/var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes Service-level options: 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 Here's my configuration file: sslVersion = all ciphers = RC4-MD5:HIGH:!aNULL:!SSLv2 options = NO_SSLv2 setuid = root setgid = haproxy pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid #socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 #socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 output = /var/log/stunnel.log debug = 7 [XXX] CAfile = /etc/stunnel/ca_chain.crt cert = /etc/stunnel/XXX.crt key = /etc/stunnel/XXX.key accept = 443 connect = 127.0.0.1:81 #xforwardedfor = yes #TIMEOUTclose = 5 #TIMEOUTbusy = 2 #TIMEOUTconnect = 2 #TIMEOUTidle = 2 (I was previously running 4.32 with the xforwardedfor patch, but to eliminate potential issues I've upgraded to the latest version, running stock without the patch, hence the commented out xforwardedfor option) here's the startup: 2011.10.01 12:18:38 LOG7[21868:47602610340864]: No limit detected for the number of clients 2011.10.01 12:18:38 LOG7[21868:47602610340864]: signal_pipe: FD=3 allocated (non-blocking mode) 2011.10.01 12:18:38 LOG7[21868:47602610340864]: signal_pipe: FD=4 allocated (non-blocking mode) 2011.10.01 12:18:38 LOG5[21868:47602610340864]: stunnel 4.44 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu platform 2011.10.01 12:18:38 LOG5[21868:47602610340864]: Compiled/running with OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008 2011.10.01 12:18:38 LOG5[21868:47602610340864]: Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Auth:none Sockets:POLL,IPv4 2011.10.01 12:18:38 LOG5[21868:47602610340864]: Reading configuration from file /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf 2011.10.01 12:18:38 LOG7[21868:47602610340864]: PRNG seeded successfully 2011.10.01 12:18:38 LOG6[21868:47602610340864]: Initializing SSL context for service XXX 2011.10.01 12:18:38 LOG4[21868:47602610340864]: Insecure file permissions on /etc/stunnel/XXX.key 2011.10.01 12:18:38 LOG7[21868:47602610340864]: Certificate: /etc/stunnel/XXX.crt 2011.10.01 12:18:38 LOG7[21868:47602610340864]: Certificate loaded 2011.10.01 12:18:38 LOG7[21868:47602610340864]: Key file: /etc/stunnel/XXX.key 2011.10.01 12:18:38 LOG7[21868:47602610340864]: Private key loaded 2011.10.01 12:18:38 LOG7[21868:47602610340864]: Could not load DH parameters from /etc/stunnel/XXX.crt 2011.10.01 12:18:38 LOG7[21868:47602610340864]: Using hardcoded DH parameters 2011.10.01 12:18:38 LOG7[21868:47602610340864]: DH initialized with 2048-bit key 2011.10.01 12:18:38 LOG7[21868:47602610340864]: SSL options set: 0x01000000 2011.10.01 12:18:38 LOG6[21868:47602610340864]: SSL context initialized 2011.10.01 12:18:38 LOG5[21868:47602610340864]: Configuration successful Later, I see logs more or less like this: 2011.10.01 12:41:44 LOG7[29902:1108293952]: str_stats: 0 block(s), 0 data byte(s), 0 control byte(s) 2011.10.01 12:41:43 LOG7[29902:1116580160]: Service XXX started 2011.10.01 12:41:44 LOG7[29902:1116580160]: Option TCP_NODELAY set on local socket 2011.10.01 12:41:44 LOG5[29902:1116580160]: Service XXX accepted connection from YYY1:50059 2011.10.01 12:41:44 LOG7[29902:1108363584]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write server done A 2011.10.01 12:41:43 LOG7[29902:47056920704000]: local socket: FD=184 allocated (non-blocking mode) 2011.10.01 12:41:44 LOG7[29902:1108363584]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 flush data 2011.10.01 12:41:44 LOG7[29902:47056920704000]: Service XXX accepted FD=184 from YYY2:58131 2011.10.01 12:41:44 LOG3[29902:1108363584]: SSL_accept: Peer suddenly disconnected 2011.10.01 12:41:44 LOG7[29902:1108433216]: SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization 2011.10.01 12:41:44 LOG7[29902:47056920704000]: local socket: FD=11 allocated (non-blocking mode) 2011.10.01 12:41:44 LOG7[29902:47056920704000]: Service XXX accepted FD=11 from YYY3:49309 2011.10.01 12:41:44 LOG5[29902:1108363584]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket 2011.10.01 12:41:44 LOG7[29902:1108363584]: Service XXX finished (173 left) I see the thread count steadily increase: #

I've verified with nc and some local tests that the 127.0.0.1:81 port is picking up connections even under load, so I don't believe the issue is on the haproxy side. The firewall is set to allow all localhost connections and the 443 ports are configured the same as the port 80 ports which do hundreds of reqs a second, further ruling out firewall issues. Is there any setting I'm missing that would or wouldn't allow stunnel to process connect calls in parallel? Is there any additional debug information I can provide? Thank you for your time.

Indirect CRL Support
by Sligar, Benjamin 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

I have been working, over the past few weeks, with one of my developers, attempting to support Indirect CRL's through OpenSSL/Stunnel. My initial attempts were to support direct CRL, which seems to work fine with the compile options I've listed below for both OpenSSL and Stunnel. ./config --prefix=/u/publish/dev/openssl/openssl-1.0.0d no-idea no-mdc2 no-rc5 no-md2 no-sse2 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stunnel-4.44/ --with-ssl=/usr/local/openssl-1.0.0d/ Reading through the FAQ and general documentation, I'm not finding much useful information on how to enable iCRL support. It may be a simple compile option I'm missing, or perhaps I just didn't find the correct page on the site/documentation, yet. If anyone has any useful information, or can point me in the right direction, the help would be greatly appreciated. I can provide configuration files and logs if it's of any use in this. Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide!

NETBIOS over stunnel
by Ronald RiemVis 18 Oct '11

18 Oct '11

Dear all, Stunnel work with all kind of other connections on both side but can't get working the NETBIOS negotiation with the net use command. send like: net use q: \\10.0.0.1\name password /user:username does not work when use net use q: \\10.0.0.1\name /user:username I get the question about password.At the end also will fail Because an ISP blocked all traffic over port 139 and my friend want to attach my external LAN drive (my book live) I need to redirect ports including the netbios protocol. I want: from a local loopback network adapter with IP address 10.0.0.1 port 139 to an external adddres port 1000 This is the configuration on the site where the my book live is connected: client = yes [MyBook] accept = 10.56.10.100:1000 (is my local address) connect = 10.56.10.10:139 (address of the my book live device) On the other side is the coinfiguration: client = yes [MyBook] accept = 10.0.0.1:139 (loopback addapter address) connect = remote address:1000 (external address) What can I do more to let it work? Greetings, Ronald

default ciphers in stunnel 4.43 vs. stunnel 4.33
by Brian Peterson 14 Oct '11

14 Oct '11

Hello, I recently upgraded stunnel from 4.33 to 4.43 and immediately noticed problems with a particular client trying to connect to my servers. It appears that the client only supports SSLv2 (about which I will be talking to the client developers). In reviewing the stunnel release notes, I find that "!SSLv2" was first added to the default ciphers value in 4.37 and was retained in the default ciphers value in 4.40. What I am trying to find out at this point is what the default cipher list would have been under 4.33. I have grep'd the sources and found STUNNEL_CIPHER_LIST in options.c for 4.43, but there is no corresponding default ciphers config in 4.33. It *appears* that 4.33 is inheriting its default ciphers from whatever the installed OpenSSL uses by default. Is that correct? If I set ciphers to "ALL" under 4.43 would the running stunnel be using the same cipher list as the 4.33 build we were running previously? Thanks, Brian P.S. - No need to discuss the wisdom of our cipher list at the moment... I just want to get this client functioning and then worry about The Right Thing To Do.

Why 6 processes for single client-mode service configuration?
by Grant Edwards 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

I'm configuring stunnel to encrypt a single client-mode connection: client = yes foreground = yes syslog = yes pid = [stunnel-localhost] accept = localhost:4608 connect = localhost:4606 Why does that result in _six_ stunnel processes? [one parent and 5 children]? It's going to look a ridiculous if I have four instances like that configured and end up with _24_ stunnel processes. I can see two processes (one for data flowing in each direction) but six seems way overboard. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! I feel like a wet at parking meter on Darvon! gmail.com

stunnel 4.35 hangs on slackware64 13.37
by crocket 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

If I rotate stunnel logs with logrotate and have logrotate send SIGUSR1 signal to stunnel, stunnel doesn't close and reopen a new log and hangs. If I rotate stunnel logs and have logrotate send SIGHUP to stunnel, stunnel writes two lines to a new log but hangs after then. It could be a CPU problem because my D525 ATOM CPU had a problematic history with other programs. But I'm not sure of this. Can anybody else reproduce the problem?

stunnel.exe stops connecting
by Mike Brazil 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

I'm running stunnel 4.44 for both POP3 and SMTP with my email client, Outlook Express, and my Spam filter, Cactus Spam. The OS is Win XP SP3. I have added the following to stunnel.conf: client = yes debug = debug [pop3s] accept = 127.0.0.1:11010 connect = camel.arvixe.com:995 [ssmtp] accept = 25 connect = camel.arvixe.com:465 Other than adding those lines, I've not changed anything in the rest of stunnel.conf as it comes with the program. When I boot the computer, Outlook Express, Cactus Spam, and stunnel all start and function correctly. However, after a period of time (a few hours -- I haven't yet pinned down whether there is a specific length to the time period), something goes wrong with stunnel, in that it stops communicating with Outlook Express, and it's CPU usage goes up to 25% (quad-core Intel CPU) and stays at that level indefinitely until I terminate the process. It is only the stunnel.exe process that is affected -- the service continues to run without error. I then restart stunnel.exe, and it works normally once again for a few hours. I usually become aware that stunnel has stopped connecting with Outlook Express when I come back to the computer after a few hours away from it, so I have so far been unable to see whether anything observable occurs when it gets into trouble or whether the length of time it ran properly varies or is constant. -- Mike Brazil mike(a)milibra.net

stunnel 4.44 - tools/Makefile $(ssldir) vs $(SSLDIR)
by Sebastian Kayser 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

Hi, I am building a recent stunnel version for Solaris via opencsw.org and with 4.44 it seems as if --with-ssl is used to AC_SUBST([SSLDIR]), yet tools/Makefile uses lowercase $(ssldir). Lead to an empty expansion and failed calls to openssl in my case. $ grep -i ssldir Makefile tools/Makefile Makefile:SSLDIR = /opt/csw tools/Makefile:SSLDIR = /opt/csw tools/Makefile:openssl = $(ssldir)/bin/openssl Sebastian

Goldmine 6.7 behind a Server
by Blake Miller 16 Sep '11

16 Sep '11

We are planning to transition our email service to Google Apps with our Goldmine 6.7 Corporate Edition so need to use Stunnel. We have Goldmine setup and run from a central Server and a shared/networked drive F: Each client machine runs Goldmine, BUT via the server path noted earlier. When logged in locally to the server and running Goldmine locally, everything works great. Stunnel is connected, we're able to send/receive email, etc. However from a remote machine, it doesn't work. Have tried installing stunnel on the local machine. Have tried accessing the said ports via the Server's IP address from within the network. And have hacked around different config setups without luck. Being a NOOB with Stunnel, we're at a loss with further configuration without literally 'hacking around' in the dark any further. Our config file is just below Thanks in advance.

Hi All, At first I would like to thank Marzena Trojnara for the useful program! Occurrence of support SNI has especially interest. I have decided to use the given possibility, but have detect pair of bugs which has independently successfully solved. To begin with I dump part of my config: [virtual_server] accept = 443 connect = localhost:1081 cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/alexCA.crt key = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/alexCA.key ; need peer verification for default access verify = 2 CAfile = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/alexCA.crt ; use restricted access form some target services [socks5] sni = virtual_server:localhost sni = virtual_server:89.250.5.185 sni = virtual_server:127.0.0.1 sni = virtual_server:server cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/alexCA.crt key = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/alexCA.key verify = 2 CAfile = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/alexCA.crt connect = localhost:1081 ; public service [dreamhub_ru] sni = virtual_server:dreamhub.ru sni = virtual_server:pad.dreamhub.ru cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/dreamhub.cer key = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/dreamhub.pem connect = localhost:80 I want to use stunnel on 443rd port for ssl-socks5 service with peer certificates verification and use public https web-service (https://dreamhub.ru) And so it has appeared that value for "verify" are always used from global section (in my case [virtual_server]), and values of "verify" parameters from virtual services sections aren't used. Problem it has appeared that in the SNI check callback static int servername_cb(SSL *ssl, int *ad, void *arg) ... for(list=section->servername_list_head; list; list=list->next) if(!strcasecmp(servername, list->servername)) { c=SSL_get_ex_data(ssl, cli_index); c->opt=list->opt; SSL_set_SSL_CTX(ssl, c->opt->ctx); s_log(LOG_NOTICE, "SNI: switched to section %s", c->opt->servname); SSL_set_SSL_CTX(ssl, c->opt->ctx); does not copy ctx->verify_mode (SSL*)s->verify_mode=ctx->verify_mode; It has been solved by explicit calling SSL_set_verify *** ctx.c 2011-09-07 14:43:50.000000000 +0400 --- ctx.c_patched 2011-09-10 01:12:48.000000000 +0400 *************** *** 156,161 **** --- 156,162 ---- c=SSL_get_ex_data(ssl, cli_index); c->opt=list->opt; SSL_set_SSL_CTX(ssl, c->opt->ctx); + SSL_set_verify(ssl, SSL_CTX_get_verify_mode(c->opt->ctx), +NULL); s_log(LOG_NOTICE, "SNI: switched to section %s", c->opt->servname); #ifdef USE_LIBWRAP The second moment concerns uses stunnel as client through HTTPS a proxy (protocol=connect). All works perfectly, only it has appeared that value for SNI used from "connect" parameter instead of value of "protocolHost".

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.

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?

Tr:SIP encryption with stunnel

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
