The debug messages produced by stunnel can sometimes be confusing. They are intended to be helpful to developers, and not end-users. OpenSSL implements the SSL/TLS/DTLS protocols with three separate finite state machines: SSLv2, SSLv3, and DTLS1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automata-based_programming All TLS protocols use the SSLv3 state machine, thus the state name does not reflect the actual protocol being negotiated.

Configuring Stunnel 4.1 to use TLS
by Deepak Subbanarasimha 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

Hello, I had some questions on Stunnel version for Windows. 1. Does Stunnel 4.1 support TLS? 2. If yes, what version of TLS does it support(TLS1.0, TLS1,1 or TLS 1.2 ) 3. How can I tell if an Stunnel instance is using SSL or TLS 4. Does anyone have instructions to configure Stunnel 4.1 to use TLS 5. Can you share an example of stunnel.conf with TLS turned on Thanks, DEEPAK SUBBANARASIMHA Kewill DDI: +00 (1) 978 482 2625 Email: deepak.subbanarasimha(a)kewill.com<mailto:[email protected]> www.kewill.com<http://www.kewill.com/> Tel: +00 (1) 978 482 2500 | Fax: +00 (1) 978 482 2501 1 Executive Drive, Chelmsford, MA 01824, USA IMPORTANT NOTICE: This email is intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or otherwise exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

Stunnel server as transparent proxy
by Derek Cole 28 Oct '14

28 Oct '14

Hello, Is it possible to use stunnel server as a transparent proxy? I was digging through the manpage and I see the transparent= option. What I would like to do is have an stunnel client connect to the stunnel server, and once traffic is at the server, go to the original destination that the traffic going to the stunnel client was destined for. I.E. Can I have firefox proxy to my stunnel client, which connects to my stunnel server, and then that traffic goes to whatever website the end user was trying to hit in firefox? My Stunnel server is on a CentOS box: [root@CentOSTunTest ~]# uname -a Linux CentOSTunTest 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Nov 22 03:15:09 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux And my stunnel.conf foreground = yes > debug = 7 > options = NO_SSLv2 > fips = no > output=/usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.log > > > [https] > cert=/usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem > accept = 443 > connect = 80 > > [Internet] > cert=/usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem > sni = https:Internet > transparent=destination > So basically in the transparent option is Internet is what I am wondering if it works the way I expect. I see this in the log file: 2014.10.23 09:57:05 LOG3[11414]: setsockopt SO_ORIGINAL_DST: Protocol not available (92) 2014.10.23 09:57:05 LOG5[11414]: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to SSL, 0 byte(s) sent to socket I see this in the stunnel manpage: For a connect target installed on the same host: /sbin/iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport <redirected_port> \ -m ! --uid-owner <stunnel_user_id> \ -j DNAT --to-destination <local_ip>:<stunnel_port> For a connect target installed on a remote host: /sbin/iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport <stunnel_port> -j ACCEPT /sbin/iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport <redirected_port> \ -i eth0 -j DNAT --to-destination <local_ip>:<stunnel_port> What does it mean "for a connect target installed on the same host" I thought transparent meant I was not using a connect target except the original destination. Does this mean I should implement the IPTables for a remote host, since I want my client to just reach the internet? Thanks for the help in advance!

stunnel-5.06 fails to build against systemd 215
by Anthony G. Basile 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

Hi everyone, We hit a bug in stunnel-5.05 and it continues in 5.06. The problem comes from systemd which moved sd_listen_fds() form libsystemd-daemon.so to libsystemd.so. However, stunnel's configure.ac still has AC_SEARCH_LIBS([sd_listen_fds], [systemd-daemon]) For backwards compatibility, this should probably be AC_SEARCH_LIBS([sd_listen_fds], [systemd], [], [ AC_SEARCH_LIBS([sd_listen_fds], [systemd-daemon]) ]) or similar. Please refer to our downstream bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=525234' Thanks. -- Anthony G. Basile, Ph. D.

stunnel service leaves stale connections to rsync on the server side
by Polyack, Steve 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

Hi, We've been running a rsync service over stunnel for some time now. After upgrading our environment, which involved moving from an old version of Linux to FreeBSD 9.3, and from stunnel-4.29 to stunnel-5.06, we've had a problem pop up. Ever since switching over, we see that rsync daemon processes slowly build up over time on our server, each consuming 100% CPU. The vast majority of our clients are working just fine, and the problematic rsync processes just seem to have been dead/aborted connections from the clients (which are using wireless aircard, so connectivity can be shotty). A quick 'truss' on the process shows they are doing nothing but sitting there and read()'ing in a loop indefinitely: # truss -p 14689 | head read(6,0x7fffffff8240,1) = 0 (0x0) read(6,0x7fffffff8240,1) = 0 (0x0) read(6,0x7fffffff8240,1) = 0 (0x0) read(6,0x7fffffff8240,1) = 0 (0x0) read(6,0x7fffffff8240,1) = 0 (0x0) read(6,0x7fffffff8240,1) = 0 (0x0) Furthermore, the connection appears to be closed: # sockstat -4 | grep 14689 root rsync 14689 3 tcp4 127.0.0.1:873 127.0.0.1:27724 netstat -an | grep 27724 netstat: kvm not available: /dev/mem: No such file or directory tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.873 127.0.0.1.27724 CLOSED Looking through the stunnel logs, it looks like no data was ever really passed (perhaps the client gave up?): 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: Service [rsync] started 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG5[34384941056]: Service [rsync] accepted connection from 1.1.1.1:63095 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client hello A 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write server hello A 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write certificate A 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write server done A 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 flush data 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client key exchange A 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read finished A 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write change cipher spec A 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write finished A 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 flush data 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: 41 items in the session cache 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: 0 client connects (SSL_connect()) 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: 0 client connects that finished 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: 0 client renegotiations requested 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: 110 server connects (SSL_accept()) 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: 107 server connects that finished 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: 0 server renegotiations requested 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: 66 session cache hits 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: 0 external session cache hits 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: 32 session cache misses 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: 0 session cache timeouts 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG6[34384941056]: No peer certificate received 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG6[34384941056]: SSL accepted: new session negotiated 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG6[34384941056]: Negotiated SSLv3 ciphersuite AES256-SHA (256-bit encryption) 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG6[34384941056]: Compression: null, expansion: null 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG6[34384941056]: s_connect: connecting 127.0.0.1:873 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG5[34384941056]: s_connect: connected 127.0.0.1:873 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG5[34384941056]: Service [rsync] connected remote server from 127.0.0.1:27724 2014.10.22 10:45:52 LOG7[34384941056]: Remote socket (FD=11) initialized 2014.10.22 11:01:12 LOG3[34384941056]: SSL_read: Connection reset by peer (54) 2014.10.22 11:01:12 LOG5[34384941056]: Connection reset: 56 byte(s) sent to SSL, 56 byte(s) sent to socket 2014.10.22 11:01:12 LOG7[34384941056]: Remote socket (FD=11) closed 2014.10.22 11:01:12 LOG7[34384941056]: Local socket (FD=10) closed 2014.10.22 11:01:12 LOG7[34384941056]: Service [rsync] finished (4 left) The clients are generally field units running stunnel versions in the 4.x range. Unfortunately, updating them is not an easy task and is not really under my control. Either way, this seems like a server side issue, and possibly an issue with rsync (we're running 3.1.0). Has anyone run into anything like this before? Does anyone have any suggestions for additional debugging we can do to try to pinpoint the problem? We are going to try rolling back to stunnel-4.29 to see if the problem still occurs there on the new system. Thanks, Steve

SSLv3 connections vulnerable in my environment?
by Fritz Gschwendner 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

Hello, I have a pretty standard stunnel server configuration with verify = 2 and clients, that don't speak TLS and can't easily be upgraded to support TLS. So disabling SSLv3 leads to handshake errors, I need to leave it enabled for now. The SSL connection is always renegotiated, a proprietary protocol is used inside SSL, and clients can be considered safe. Can the poodle security flaw realistically be used by a man in the middle to decrypt packets send over such an SSLv3 connection? If so, is there any other way to protect against the attack? Thank you.

Trouble after disabling SSLv3 (another one)
by Koenraad Lelong 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

Hi, Last week I disabled SSLv3 on my stunnel-server. I thought I tested it, but this morning I had to use it and I couldn't get access. Now at the office I tried again, with the same result. After enabling SSLv3 again I could get access. So my configuration seems wrong. My server runs Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, stunnel is 4.42-1ubuntu (stock ubuntu). This is my stunnel.conf (tunnels removed/edited) : client = no setuid = stunnel4 setgid = stunnel4 pid = /var/run/stunnel4/stunnel4.pid debug = debug output = /var/log/stunnel4/stunnel.log options = NO_SSLv2 options = NO_SSLv3 socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 verify = 3 CApath = /etc/stunnel-certs CAfile = /etc/stunnel/cacert.pem cert = /etc/stunnel/lace3.keycrt [tunnel vnc] accept = 12345 connect = remotehost:5901 The log on the server : 2014.10.21 08:32:15 LOG7[28587:140281088546560]: Service tunnel vnc accepted FD=0 from 192.168.1.14:55708 2014.10.21 08:32:15 LOG7[28587:140281088538368]: Service tunnel vnc started 2014.10.21 08:32:15 LOG7[28587:140281088538368]: Option TCP_NODELAY set on local socket 2014.10.21 08:32:15 LOG7[28587:140281088538368]: Waiting for a libwrap process 2014.10.21 08:32:15 LOG7[28587:140281088538368]: Acquired libwrap process #0 2014.10.21 08:32:15 LOG7[28587:140281088538368]: Releasing libwrap process #0 2014.10.21 08:32:15 LOG7[28587:140281088538368]: Released libwrap process #0 2014.10.21 08:32:15 LOG7[28587:140281088538368]: Service tunnel vnc permitted by libwrap from 192.168.1.14:55708 2014.10.21 08:32:15 LOG5[28587:140281088538368]: Service tunnel vnc accepted connection from 192.168.1.14:55708 2014.10.21 08:32:15 LOG7[28587:140281088538368]: SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization 2014.10.21 08:32:15 LOG7[28587:140281088538368]: SSL alert (write): fatal: handshake failure 2014.10.21 08:32:15 LOG3[28587:140281088538368]: SSL_accept: 1408A10B: error:1408A10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:wrong version number 2014.10.21 08:32:15 LOG5[28587:140281088538368]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket 2014.10.21 08:32:15 LOG7[28587:140281088538368]: Service tunnel vnc finished (0 left) 2014.10.21 08:32:15 LOG7[28587:140281088538368]: str_stats: 0 block(s), 0 byte(s) The log on the client (opensuse 13.1) : 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG7[978:140089725433664]: local socket: FD=0 allocated (non-blocking mode) 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG7[978:140089725433664]: Service tunnel vnc accepted FD=0 from 127.0.0.1:39609 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG7[978:140089725630208]: Service tunnel vnc started 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG7[978:140089725630208]: Option TCP_NODELAY set on local socket 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG7[978:140089725630208]: Waiting for a libwrap process 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG7[978:140089725630208]: Acquired libwrap process #0 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG7[978:140089725630208]: Releasing libwrap process #0 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG7[978:140089725630208]: Released libwrap process #0 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG7[978:140089725630208]: Service tunnel vnc permitted by libwrap from 127.0.0.1:39609 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG5[978:140089725630208]: Service tunnel vnc accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:39609 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG7[978:140089725630208]: remote socket: FD=1 allocated (non-blocking mode) 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG6[978:140089725630208]: connect_blocking: connecting 192.168.0.30:12345 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG7[978:140089725630208]: connect_blocking: s_poll_wait 192.168.0.30:13001: waiting 10 seconds 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG5[978:140089725630208]: connect_blocking: connected 192.168.0.30:12345 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG5[978:140089725630208]: Service tunnel vnc connected remote server from 192.168.1.14:55770 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG7[978:140089725630208]: Remote FD=1 initialized 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG7[978:140089725630208]: Option TCP_NODELAY set on remote socket 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG7[978:140089725630208]: SSL state (connect): before/connect initialization 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG7[978:140089725630208]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 write client hello A 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG7[978:140089725630208]: SSL alert (read): fatal: handshake failure 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG3[978:140089725630208]: SSL_connect: 14094410: error:14094410:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert handshake failure 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG5[978:140089725630208]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG7[978:140089725630208]: Service tunnel vnc finished (0 left) 2014.10.21 08:47:47 LOG7[978:140089725630208]: str_stats: 0 blocks, 0 bytes Am I missing something ?

STOP REMOVING OLD RELEASE TARBALLS FOR GODS SAKE
by John Spencer 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

hello, 5 days ago i noticed that my stunnel source package was *again* broken because some clown removed the previous version's download from the download server, so i bite the bullet and upgraded to latest (5.05). today, doing a testbuild i got a again a 404 and was forced again to update to latest stunnel download. this is fucking frustrating. i really have better things to do than to update my package recipes whenever a new stunnel release comes out (and that's not just me). SO COULD YOU PLEASE FINALLY LEAVE YOUR PAST RELEASES ON THE DOWNLOAD MIRROR LIKE ANYONE ELSE DOES ? THANKS. and no, even if a security flaw in non-latest was discovered that's still no reason to silently delete the old tarballs. thanks, --JS P.S. the latest stunnel still does not link against libreSSL instead of openssl, due to bogus usage of RAND_egd() as mentioned a quarter year ago in my blog: http://devsonacid.wordpress.com/2014/07/12/how-compatible-is-libressl/

Trouble after disabling SSLv3
by Dion Kant 19 Oct '14

19 Oct '14

Dear list, I have stunnel running in a configuration where we use it to connect to a webserver over https while adding client certificates to the requests. This worked fine until recently on the (Apache) webserver SSLv3 was disabled. I installed the latest version of stunnel today (stunnel-5.07b2 <https://www.stunnel.org/downloads/beta/stunnel-5.07b2.tar.gz>) but that did not fix the problem. Now STunnel tries to negotiate a https connection using the TLSv1.2 and I found that because of this Apache does not like the content of the Host variable in the HTTP header which is different from what Apache is expectingto be. With SSLv3 this was not an issue. As a result I get a "HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request" from the webserver. In my configuration I cannot (easily) apply some form of split DNS to get the hostname correct in the http header already from the client connecting to the stunnel service. I tested using curl sending a request through stunnel to the web server and verified that when I modified the Host field in the request header it does work. To my opinion it is stunnel setting up the HTTPS connection to the webserver and stunnel should take care of setting the correct Host field in the request header. Is there a way to let stunnel take care of setting the correct info in the HTTP header? Best regards, Dion Kant
