stunnel and hosts.allow
by Yousef Alhashemi 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

Hi, This may be a little bit off-topic, but does anyone here use stunnel with pan? My connections to stunnel (in pan) are always refused by libwrap. I was looking for the right rule to add to /etc/hosts.allow but nothing seems to work aside from "ALL : ALL" (which is obviously not good) and "nntps: KNOWN". Is the latter reasonable? The hosts_access(5) manpage is confusing to say the least. It mentions that daemon (the first token on any line) is the name of the daemon running the process, which would be "stunnel" in my case, but using "stunnel : LOCAL" or even "stunnel : ALL" doesn't work. The rule that seems to work, as mentioned, is "nntps : KNOWN" ("nntps" being the group name in stunnel.conf). What's even more confusing to me is that "nntps : LOCAL" does not work either. Nor does "nntps : localhost 127.0.0.1", "nntps : localhost", "nntps : 127.0.0.1", or "nntps : 192.168.1.". Pan is running on the same machine as stunnel so all connections must be coming from localhost. Why do these rules not trigger? Either way, I'd like to know the "least permissive" hosts.allow rule that would allow me to connect to my news provider from pan, and/or whether "nntps : KNOWN" is a safe option. Thanks, Yousef

Re: [stunnel-users] OpenSSL FIPS header not found - version 5.02
by Hui Yu 26 Jun '14

26 Jun '14

No, you don't need to do "make depend". Just follow my exact steps, it is enough to compile a FIPS enabled stunnel. I did it on the 64 bits centos linux (linux-x86_64) and redhat linux (linux-generic32) , so that is probably the only change you need. Good luck.

public domain [PATCH] to stunnel v456 to clear SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT
by Simner, John 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

Dear Michal, Dear All, Please find attached a patch to stunnel 4.56 to clear SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT. There was a security requirement to ensure that the stunnel client could not connect to unpatched servers. I am aware from OpenSSL (https://www.openssl.org/docs/ssl/SSL_CTX_set_options.html ) that this parameter is currently set by default and has to be manually cleared by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options() or SSL_clear_options()if an OpenSSL client applications wants to ensure they can not connect to unpatched servers (and thus avoid any security issues). The attached patch achieves this. OpenSSL also state "As more servers become patched the option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT will not be set by default in a future version of OpenSSL" so this patch is only required until OpenSSL change the default value. Thanks.. John [Unify: Harmonize your enterprise] John Simner BSc(Hons) MSc CEng. MIET Software Engineer, Devices Development Unify Enterprise Communications Ltd.

by Hui Yu 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

Hi all: Base on this link https://www.stunnel.org/sdf_ChangeLog.html, to make TLS 1.2 work, I need to put stunnel in FIPS enable mode. In stunnel config file, I have following to enable FIPS mode and select TLS 1.2. sslVersion=TLSv1.2 FIPS = yes But when my TLS 1.2 client send "client hello" with version TLS 1.2 to stunnel, stunnel still send "server hello" with TLS 1.0 back. Could somebody help on why stunnel does not support TLS 1.2 ? My stunnel is verstion 5.02, compiled with latest OpenSSL version 1.0.1h FIPS mode library.

Configure stunnel to clear SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT to prevent connections to unpatched servers.
by Simner, John 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

Hi, I have a requirement for a stunnel client built with openSSL 0.9.8y to not connect to unpatched servers. I know this is a simple matter of using SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT); Is there any way of configuring stunnel to clear this option? If this is the wrong approach, how can I prevent stunnel connecting to unpatched servers? Thank you for your assistance and look forward to your response.

Marco, I don't think stunnel changes the user ID without a 'setuid = ' statement in the configuration file (as it does not know which user ID to switch to). Are you sure, swat isn't changing the user ID? Does it work without being wrapped by stunnel?
