Re: [stunnel-users] build static stunnel with openssl
by Eric Eberhard 06 Oct '18

Make openssl and stunnel static. That is what I do and I consider it MUCH smarter than dynamic. I got tired of getting support calls because stunnel stopped working because the user installed a new openssl. Static will always work. Another piece of advice – do NOT put it on /usr/local/opensl or /usr/local/stunnel (or whatever the defaults are). Before building make your OWN directories. Our short name for our product is “met” so we use /usr/local/met/obj and /usr/local/met/bin for the object and binary files, respectively. This ensures nobody will install over you. This is also a real security issue mostly ignored. Most people have heard of SQL injection (where SQL is modified to do what the developer never intended). However, DLL injection (e.g. dynamic library injection) is a real problem. I could easily install an openssl DLL that does exactly what it should do … and sends the same data in clear text (or with my own encryption) to my machine. A thief could simply install one dynamic library and then OWN your data.

server mode support for both ECC and RSA server certificates
by Tom Hood 02 Oct '18

02 Oct '18

Hi, Can one stunnel service in server mode be configured with both ECDSA and RSA server certs? The stunnel man page Certificates section suggests only one can be specified along with its CA chain. Use case is some legacy clients don't support ECDSA, but it would be nice to support ECDSA when a client does support it. It appears that HAProxy supports this <https://www.haproxy.com/blog/serving-ecc-and-rsa-certificates-on-same-ip-wi…>,but I'm hoping there is an equivalent way to do this with stunnel. I'm currently testing with stunnel 5.49 with OpenSSL 1.0.2p on Solaris 11.3, but can rebuild with any version of openssl if that helps. Thanks, -- Tom

Re: [stunnel-users] stunnel log rolling
by Eric Eberhard 17 Sep '18

Most O/S will either prevent renaming a file that is in use (or deleting it). Some will – but they will actually continue to write to the old file (and if that file was deleted then it writes to a file you can nexer see). Since I generally use AIX it is the second feature I see. We have systems with over 500 connections via stunnel – it never rests, and rolling the log file is not easy. I can easily provide a code fix for stunnel that we use in out software. It allows daily logs, sized logs, etc. And it rolls properly. The downside is we open the log, write to it, and close it – each time – which is not efficient. Given modern computers I have come to not care. So the open routine either opens (append) a daily file or it looks up the file and gets the size and decides to move it (or not). The second is not perfect … if three other processes have it open at the moment they will finish writing to that log. Who cares? As long as the logging is always opening and closing the “bleed over” is minimized. If people want me to do this, I will – if they can tell me the log routines it would speed me some, preventing from having to search for them. We like and prefer the daily logs – it is clean as you get one per day. As long as one day is never too huge it is great and we have daemons that remove logs over xx number of days (although I could add a simple parameter for that as well and simply kill those files). This is an annoying problem – especially for multi-O/S software – but one I am good at.

Adding custom HTTP headers to a proxy'ed HTTP request when stunnel is used as an endpoint for a HTTP proxy
by Tony Cheneau 02 Sep '18

02 Sep '18

Good evening folks, Michal was kind enough to review and rewrite/integrate one of my patches for logging session IDs [1] and post the remaining ones on the website [2]! So, I feel I should also contribute to this list a little program I wrote. It is meant to be used with the exec= directive. It is mostly useful when stunnel is used to secure a connexion between a client and a HTTP proxy. A stunnel instance can run locally on the client while a stunnel server runs on the HTTP proxy: HTTP client (proxy'ed) <- > stunnel client <--> stunnel server <-> HTTP proxy Here, the "exec=" program will run on the stunnel server and add some extra headers to each HTTP request. One of this headers is the client's Distinguished Name (from its X.509 certificate). The HTTP proxy (squid for example) can then make some decision based on this HTTP header (authorisation, etc.). It relies heavily on PicoHTTPParser. Regards, Tony Cheneau [1]: to appear in version 5.49, see https://www.stunnel.org/sdf_ChangeLog.html [2]: patches 0002 and 0003 on https://www.stunnel.org/patches.html

OpenSSL 1.1.1 secure level and also an old problem rearing up
by Peter Pentchev 26 Aug '18

26 Aug '18

Hi, Sorry to be the bearer of a "those OS vendors did something again and now we have to catch up with them... again..." type of news, but, well, the maintainers of the Debian package of OpenSSL upgraded it to a prerelease 1.1.1 version and, in the process, changed the default cipher selection in the openssl.cnf file to 'SECLEVEL=2'. Unfortunately, this means that the server certificate used in the stunnel test suite is not considered strong enough, so the test suite is failing. More details may be found in the description of the Debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/906981 and the error message itself is at https://ci.debian.net/data/autopkgtest/testing/amd64/s/stunnel4/865956/log.… (look for all the lines containing "SSL_CTX_use_certificate:ca md too weak") So my first reaction was to stop running the stunnel test suite and only leave my functional test script; however, I then had another idea and tried to get the stunnel test suite to explicitly specify SECLEVEL=1 using the attached patch. This actually helped a bit - it made most of the tests pass - but then I hit a problem with e.g. 037_failover_prio1: if there is a "ciphers" option in the config file, stunnel eventually dies with an error that I seem to remember having seen before; take a look at this gdb backtrace from stunnel 5.48: (gdb) bt #0 __GI_raise (sig=sig@entry=6) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:51 #1 0x00007f0a349882f1 in __GI_abort () at abort.c:79 #2 0x000055b1aa3ad645 in fatal_debug (txt=0x55b1aa3c503c "Bad magic", file=0x55b1aa3ca6dd "ssl.c", line=118) at log.c:379 #3 0x000055b1aa3ae066 in get_alloc_list_ptr (ptr=0x7f0a24014520, file=0x55b1aa3ca6dd "ssl.c", line=118) at str.c:429 #4 0x000055b1aa3ae229 in str_detach_debug (ptr=ptr@entry=0x7f0a24014520, file=file@entry=0x55b1aa3ca6dd "ssl.c", line=line@entry=118) at str.c:378 #5 0x000055b1aa3ae884 in str_detach_debug (line=118, file=0x55b1aa3ca6dd "ssl.c", ptr=0x7f0a24014520) at str.c:413 #6 str_free_debug (ptr=0x7f0a24014520, file=0x55b1aa3ca6dd "ssl.c", line=118) at str.c:413 #7 0x00007f0a34f7661a in CRYPTO_free_ex_data () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1 #8 0x00007f0a35112a98 in SSL_SESSION_free () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1 #9 0x00007f0a34f7a1bc in OPENSSL_LH_doall_arg () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1 #10 0x00007f0a35114177 in SSL_CTX_flush_sessions () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1 #11 0x000055b1aa3c3701 in unbind_ports () at stunnel.c:439 #12 0x000055b1aa3c3799 in main_cleanup () at stunnel.c:224 #13 0x000055b1aa3ad720 in main (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>) at ui_unix.c:79 (gdb) (the line numbers may be a bit off from the stock stunnel source, since I also added a setrlimit(RLIMIT_CORE, infinity) patch) So, yeah, what would be the best way forward here? I guess I might create a new certificate specifically for the Debian package's test suite, but I think the double-free problem may also need to be fixed. Let me know if you need any more information about reproducing it or any more data in case it doesn't happen on your end. Thanks for everything you're doing for stunnel, and keep up the great work!

Log to syslog without process name, after reloading the configuration (sighup)
by Reschke, Sven (VWIF G-TS/P) 22 Aug '18

22 Aug '18

Hi, I've upgraded my stunnel from version 5.44 to 5.45. After reloading the configuration of stunnel (via pkill -sighup stunnel) several times, I've stumbled about missing syslogs. Only the loading of the configuration file was still visible. Then I've noticed, that greping the syslog for stunnel was my mistake. Stunnel doesn't log its process name after reloading the configuration file the second time (see logs below) Can someone verify, or is it just me, or some configuration I'm missing? BTW: I've reproduced the "problem" also for the version 5.48 as you can see from the logs. With version 5.44 stunnel always logged its process name to syslog.
