looking the changelog of latest version of stunnle (version 5.57) I see the following statement: "The "redirect" option was fixed to properly handle "verifyChain = yes" (thx to Rob Hoes)." It is possible to have more information on the vulnerability fixed?

CERT: Pre-verification error: unsupported certificate purpose
by Bob Bob 12 Oct '20

12 Oct '20

Hi, I just updated to version 5.57 and the config I used for ever does not work anymore. I regenerated the self certs using the "Build a Self-signed stunnel.pem" in Windows and made sure the CN was matching the hostname of the server machine. I understand there is an issue with the self signed certificate... ...but it was working fine under 5.56. Server configuration [Server_SyncThing] cert = stunnel.pem accept = 999 connect = 127.0.0.1:24596 ciphers = PSK PSKsecrets = psk.txt Client configuration [SyncThing] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:24596 connect = 192.168.0.102:999 verifyPeer = yes CAfile = stunnel.pem PSKsecrets = psk.txt Service [SyncThing] connected remote server from 192.168.1.44:5455 2020.10.12 14:25:06 LOG7[33]: Setting remote socket options (FD=1516) 2020.10.12 14:25:06 LOG7[33]: Option TCP_NODELAY set on remote socket 2020.10.12 14:25:06 LOG7[33]: Remote descriptor (FD=1516) initialized 2020.10.12 14:25:06 LOG6[33]: SNI: sending servername: 192.168.0.102 2020.10.12 14:25:06 LOG6[33]: Peer certificate required 2020.10.12 14:25:06 LOG7[33]: TLS state (connect): before SSL initialization 2020.10.12 14:25:06 LOG7[33]: Initializing application specific data for session authenticated 2020.10.12 14:25:06 LOG6[33]: PSK client configured for identity "user1" 2020.10.12 14:25:06 LOG7[33]: Initializing application specific data for session authenticated 2020.10.12 14:25:06 LOG7[33]: TLS state (connect): SSLv3/TLS write client hello 2020.10.12 14:25:06 LOG7[33]: TLS state (connect): SSLv3/TLS write client hello 2020.10.12 14:25:06 LOG7[33]: TLS state (connect): SSLv3/TLS read server hello 2020.10.12 14:25:06 LOG7[33]: TLS state (connect): TLSv1.3 read encrypted extensions 2020.10.12 14:25:06 LOG7[33]: Verification started at depth=0: C=FR, ST=Centre, L=Marseilles, O=CA, OU=CA, CN= TRUCK-D98J8TY 2020.10.12 14:25:06 LOG4[33]: CERT: Pre-verification error: unsupported certificate purpose 2020.10.12 14:25:06 LOG4[33]: Rejected by CERT at depth=0: C=FR, ST=Centre, L=Marseilles, O=CA, OU=CA, CN= TRUCK-D98J8TY 2020.10.12 14:25:06 LOG7[33]: TLS alert (write): fatal: unsupported certificate 2020.10.12 14:25:06 LOG3[33]: SSL_connect: ssl/statem/statem_clnt.c:1913: error:1416F086:SSL routines:tls_process_server_certificate:certificate verify failed 2020.10.12 14:25:06 LOG5[33]: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to TLS, 0 byte(s) sent to socket 2020.10.12 14:25:06 LOG7[33]: Deallocating application specific data for session connect address 2020.10.12 14:25:06 LOG7[33]: Deallocating application specific data for session connect address 2020.10.12 14:25:06 LOG7[33]: Remote descriptor (FD=1516) closed Any help would be welcome.

Stunnel inetd Linux configuration
by Marco Marchi 30 Sep '20

30 Sep '20

Good morning, I'm trying to configure Stunnel on Linux (Slackware 14). Can anybody post an example of configuration file in order to run and manage Stunnel by means of inetd, keeping in mind that goal is to secure pop3 and imap? Openssl is already installed and running (version 1.1.1g, april 2020). Stunnel version downloaded and installed is 5.56. Certifcate has been generated by means of Openssl. Issues are related to the right syntax in stunnel.conf. Thank you in advance. Marco

sslVersion
by Ray 25 Sep '20

25 Sep '20

Hi Is sslVersion a global parameter that belongs to all segments or can it be inside a segment to only affect that segment? Example: output = /tmp/stunnel.log debug = emerg sslVersion = all # I assume it is applied to all Stunnel connection definitions [Stunnel_1] sslVersion = tls1_2 # How about this? I only want Stunnel_1 to be affected with sslVersion tls1_2 option. client = yes accept = 2222 connect = some_domain.com.au:8449 verify = 2 CAfile = /etc/stunnel/certs/root_digicert_ca.crt Thanks Ray

Address already in use (98) error trying to run stunnel client in Ubuntu Docker container
by greg＠yesenergy.com 24 Sep '20

24 Sep '20

Hello all, I'm getting the following error when I try to connect to a remote server from inside a running Docker container: "Binding service [client] to 127.0.0.1:1589: Address already in use (98)". I don't think this port is actually in use, and I've tried other ports with the same results. I know that this configuration works in my Windows dev machine, from which I have consistently connected to the remote server, no problem. I suspect this might be related to Docker's internal networking schema and port-forwarding, but I thought I would ask this group if anyone knows how to overcome this hurdle. Thanks for listening! Here is the config: [client] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:1589 connect = nn.nnn.nnn.nnn:443 checkHost = xxxxxxxxx.com sslVersion = TLSv1.2 CAfile = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/my_pemfile.pem verifyPeer = yes Here is the log trace: [ ] Clients allowed=512000 [.] stunnel 5.56 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu platform [.] Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.1.1d 10 Sep 2019 [.] Threading:PTHREAD Sockets:POLL,IPv6 TLS:ENGINE,FIPS,OCSP,PSK,SNI [ ] errno: (*__errno_location ()) [.] Reading configuration from file /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf [.] UTF-8 byte order mark detected [.] FIPS mode disabled [ ] Compression disabled [ ] No PRNG seeding was required [ ] Initializing service [client] [ ] Ciphers: DES-CBC3-SHA:IDEA-CBC-MD5-DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA:AES256-SHA [ ] TLSv1.3 ciphersuites: TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256:TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 [ ] TLS options: 0x02100004 (+0x00000000, -0x00000000) [ ] No certificate or private key specified [.] Configuration successful [ ] Binding service [client] [ ] Listening file descriptor created (FD=8) [ ] Setting accept socket options (FD=8) [ ] Option SO_REUSEADDR set on accept socket [.] Binding service [client] to 127.0.0.1:1589: Address already in use (98) [ ] Listening file descriptor created (FD=8) [ ] Setting accept socket options (FD=8) [ ] Option SO_REUSEADDR set on accept socket [.] Binding service [client] to 127.0.0.1:1589: Address already in use (98) [!] Binding service [client] failed [ ] Deallocating section defaults [ ] Unbinding service [client] [ ] Service [client] closed [ ] Deallocating section [client]

Stunnel to smtp-relay.gmail.com
by Anton Palmgård 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

Hi, a few days ago up to a week my stunnel connection to smtp-gmail.gmail.com. stopped working with the error: ep 21 17:25:57 stunnel LOG50: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to TLS, 0 byte(s) sent to socket Sep 21 17:25:57 stunnel LOG30: Remote server is not RFC 1425 compliant Sep 21 17:25:57 stunnel LOG50: Service [to_gmail] connected remote server from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:29662 Tried from 2 different Locations / sites (i.e companies) same error. The relay work fine without client settings but that leaves TLS to the endpoint.. Office 365 relay works fine with TLS. Contacted Google support but the claimed nothing have been changed. I assume somehting with the TLS version/ CIPHERS is wrong ? Conf simply looks like this: cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem chroot = /var/tmp/stunnel setuid = stunnel setgid = stunnel [to_gmail] client = yes accept = 0.0.0.0:587 connect = smtp-relay.gmail.com:587 debug = 7 TIMEOUTclose = 0 protocol = smtp BR, Anton.

Stunnel failover
by Ray 16 Sep '20

16 Sep '20

Stunnel's failover option with prio settings works fine but the application first tries 3 syn to connect to the first endpoint and if failed then it tries the second endpoint. Is there any way to configure stunnel to try only once and failover to the second connection endpoint?

using Android Keystore with stunnel
by blacksun＠directbox.com 09 Sep '20

09 Sep '20

Hello, i am using stunnel 5.56 on Android 7.0. It is a non-rooted device. Android stores keys and certs in the android keystore. I am using a Let's Encrypt Cert on serverside, and on clients the options veryChain and chechHost. How can i use the System-integrated CA-Certs of Android for verifying the server-cert issued by Let's Encrypt? When i am searching the net, there are infos saying that the certs and keys are not accessible by filestructure, but there would be apis to access the keystore. The keystore would be protected with the PIN of the device. Thanks.
