-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Guys, Please feel free to try the beta version I just made available for download: https://www.stunnel.org/downloads/beta/stunnel-5.04b1.tar.gz https://www.stunnel.org/downloads/beta/stunnel-5.04b1-installer.exe The list of changes includes most of the issues recently discussed on the stunnel-users mailing list and more. * New features - Support for local mode ("exec" option) on Win32. - A more explicit service description provided for the Windows SCM (thx to Pierre Delaage). - TCP/IP dependency added for NT service in order to (hopefully) prevent initialization failure at boot time. - FIPS canister updated to version 2.0.8 in the Win32 binary build. * Bugfixes - load_icon_default() modified to return copies of default icons instead of the original resources to prevent the resources from being destroyed. - Reportedly more compatible values used for the dwDesiredAccess parameter of the CreateFile() function (thx to Pierre Delaage). - Partially merged UNICODE compilation fixes (thx to Pierre Delaage). - Partially merged Windows CE patches (thx to Pierre Delaage). - Fixed typos in stunnel.init.in and vc.mak. - Fixed incorrect memory allocation statistics update in str_realloc(). - Missing REMOTE_PORT environmental variable is provided to processes spawned with "exec" on Unix platforms. - Taskbar icon is no longer disabled for NT service.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Users, I have released version 5.02 of stunnel. The ChangeLog entry: Version 5.02, 2014.06.09, urgency: HIGH: * Security bugfixes - OpenSSL DLLs updated to version 1.0.1h. See http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140605.txt * New features - Major rewrite of the protocol.c interface: it is now possible to add protocol negotiations at multiple connection phases, protocols can individually decide whether the remote connection will be established before or after SSL/TLS is negotiated. - Heap memory blocks are wiped before release. This only works for block allocated by stunnel, and not by OpenSSL or other libraries. - The safe_memcmp() function implemented with execution time not dependent on the compared data. - Updated the stunnel.conf and stunnel.init templates. - Added a client-mode example to the manual. * Bugfixes - Fixed "failover = rr" broken since version 5.00. - Fixed "taskbar = no" broken since version 5.00. - Compilation fix for missing SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING option.

Hi Guys, I'm glad to announce syringe, a service for testing client-side heartbleed. It allows to easily examine most of the obscure TLS clients (for example embedded devices). The service is available online at https://www.stunnel.org:4433/ Best regards, Mike

by Michal Trojnara 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Dear Users, I have released version 5.01 of stunnel. The ChangeLog entry: Version 5.01, 2014.04.08, urgency: HIGH: * Security bugfixes - OpenSSL DLLs updated to version 1.0.1g. This version mitigates TLS heartbeat read overrun (CVE-2014-0160). * New features - X.509 extensions added to the created self-signed stunnel.pem. - "FIPS = no" also allowed in non-FIPS builds of stunnel. - Search all certificates with the same subject name for a matching public key rather than only the first one (thx to Leon Winter). - Create logs in the local application data folder if stunnel folder is not writable on Win32. * Bugfixes - close_notify not sent when SSL still has some data buffered. - Protocol negotiation with server-side SNI fixed. - A Mac OS X missing symbols fixed. - Win32 configuration file reload crash fixed. - Added s_pool_free() on exec+connect service retires. - Line-buffering enforced on stderr output.

stunnel 5.00 released
by Michal Trojnara 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

Dear Users, I have released version 5.00 of stunnel. The ChangeLog entry: stunnel 5.00 disables some features previously enabled by default. Users should review whether the new defaults are appropriate for their particular deployments. Packages maintainers may consider prepending the old defaults for "fips" (if supported by their OpenSSL library), "pid" and "libwrap" to stunnel.conf during automated updates. Version 5.00, 2014.03.06, urgency: HIGH: * Security bugfixes - Added PRNG state update in fork threading (CVE-2014-0016). * New global configuration file defaults - Default "fips" option value is now "no", as FIPS mode is only helpful for compliance, and never for actual security. - Default "pid" is now "", i.e. not to create a pid file at startup. * New service-level configuration file defaults - Default "ciphers" updated to "HIGH:MEDIUM:+3DES:+DH:!aNULL:!SSLv2" due to AlFBPPS attack and bad performance of DH ciphersuites. - Default "libwrap" setting is now "no" to improve performance. * New features - OpenSSL DLLs updated to version 1.0.1f. - zlib DLL updated to version 1.2.8. - autoconf scripts upgraded to version 2.69. - TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 are now allowed in the FIPS mode. - New service-level option "redirect" to redirect SSL client connections on authentication failures instead of rejecting them. - New global "engineDefault" configuration file option to control which OpenSSL tasks are delegated to the current engine. Available tasks: ALL, RSA, DSA, ECDH, ECDSA, DH, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS, PKEY, PKEY_CRYPTO, PKEY_ASN1. - New service-level configuration file option "engineId" to select the engine by identifier, e.g. "engineId = capi". - New global configuration file option "log" to control whether to append (the default), or to overwrite log file while (re)opening. - Different taskbar icon colors to indicate the service state. - New global configuration file options "iconIdle", "iconActive", and "iconError" to select status icon on GUI taskbar. - Removed the limit of 63 stunnel.conf sections on Win32 platform. - Installation of a sample certificate was moved to a separate "cert" target in order to allow unattended (e.g. scripted) installations. - Reduced length of the logged thread identifier. It is still based on the OS thread ID, and thus not unique over long periods of time. - Improved readability of error messages printed when stunnel refuses to start due to a critical error. * Bugfixes - LD_PRELOAD Solaris compatibility bug fixed (thx to Norm Jacobs). - CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS replaced with CRYPTO_num_locks() to improve binary compatibility with diverse builds of OpenSSL (thx to Norm Jacobs). - Corrected round-robin failover behavior under heavy load. - Numerous fixes in the engine support code. - On Win32 platform .rnd file moved from c:\ to the stunnel folder.
