stunnel 5.02 released
by Michal Trojnara 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

-----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.

OpenSSL dlls update for Windows (security advisory 20140605)
by Javier 07 Jun '14

07 Jun '14

Hi, as a mere user I ask, should we expect a new Stunnel version in a few days even it is not an Stunnel vulnerability or is it enough to just update ssleay and libeay with 1.0.1h by us under Windows? Just in case ssleay and libeay are compiled different than official builds. Regards. http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140605.txt

behavior change after enabling proxy protocol
by Philippe Anctil 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Hello, We use stunnel to secure a proprietary tcp/ip protocol over the internet. More specifially we have - 1 balancer - 2 stunnel boxes - 1 app server The load balancer 'pings' stunnel boxes regularly to know if one is down. Recently, we have added support for the proxy protocol in our app and turned it on in our stunnel config. It works great except for one small new behavior: upon receiving a load balancer ping, stunnel performs a connection on our app (and sends the proxy header). I ran a tcpdump for a telnet on the stunnel port (8000). With proxy protocol disabled, stunnel does nothing while it waits for the certificate. The connection ended at my request. 17:33:08.537385 IP 127.0.0.1.6015 > 127.0.0.1.8000: S 356922015:356922015(0) win 32792 <mss 16396,sackOK,timestamp 1085620573 0,nop,wscale 7> 17:33:08.537386 IP 127.0.0.1.8000 > 127.0.0.1.6015: S 1525966521:1525966521(0) ack 356922016 win 32768 <mss 16396,sackOK,timestamp 1085620573 1085620573,nop,wscale 7> 17:33:08.537393 IP 127.0.0.1.6015 > 127.0.0.1.8000: . ack 1 win 257 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085620573 1085620573> 17:33:19.750431 IP 127.0.0.1.6015 > 127.0.0.1.8000: F 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085631785 1085620573> 17:33:19.751065 IP 127.0.0.1.8000 > 127.0.0.1.6015: . ack 2 win 256 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085631786 1085631785> 17:33:19.751794 IP 127.0.0.1.8000 > 127.0.0.1.6015: R 1:1(0) ack 2 win 256 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085631787 1085631785> With proxy protocol enabled, stunnel establishes a connection to my app and sends the proxy protocol before even receiving the certificate. 17:34:35.370462 IP 127.0.0.1.6026 > 127.0.0.1.8000: S 2949098861:2949098861(0) win 32792 <mss 16396,sackOK,timestamp 1085707402 0,nop,wscale 7> 17:34:35.370475 IP 127.0.0.1.8000 > 127.0.0.1.6026: S 1044893129:1044893129(0) ack 2949098862 win 32768 <mss 16396,sackOK,timestamp 1085707402 1085707402,nop,wscale 7> 17:34:35.370481 IP 127.0.0.1.6026 > 127.0.0.1.8000: . ack 1 win 257 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085707402 1085707402> 17:34:35.371035 IP 127.0.0.1.37654 > 127.0.0.1.9000: S 801705083:801705083(0) win 32792 <mss 16396,sackOK,timestamp 1085707402 0,nop,wscale 7> 17:34:35.371046 IP 127.0.0.1.9000 > 127.0.0.1.37654: S 4068822820:4068822820(0) ack 801705084 win 32768 <mss 16396,sackOK,timestamp 1085707402 1085707402,nop,wscale 7> 17:34:35.371052 IP 127.0.0.1.37654 > 127.0.0.1.9000: . ack 1 win 257 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085707402 1085707402> 17:34:35.371583 IP 127.0.0.1.37654 > 127.0.0.1.9000: P 1:44(43) ack 1 win 257 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085707403 1085707402> 17:34:35.371595 IP 127.0.0.1.9000 > 127.0.0.1.37654: . ack 44 win 256 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085707403 1085707403> 17:34:50.484991 IP 127.0.0.1.9000 > 127.0.0.1.37654: F 1:1(0) ack 44 win 256 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085722515 1085707403> 17:34:50.485892 IP 127.0.0.1.37654 > 127.0.0.1.9000: . ack 2 win 257 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085722516 1085722515> 17:35:08.824661 IP 127.0.0.1.6026 > 127.0.0.1.8000: F 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085740854 1085707402> 17:35:08.824906 IP 127.0.0.1.8000 > 127.0.0.1.6026: . ack 2 win 256 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085740854 1085740854> 17:35:08.824972 IP 127.0.0.1.37654 > 127.0.0.1.9000: R 44:44(0) ack 2 win 257 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085740854 1085722515> 17:35:08.825013 IP 127.0.0.1.8000 > 127.0.0.1.6026: R 1:1(0) ack 2 win 256 <nop,nop,timestamp 1085740855 1085740854> Note I used 'tcpdump -i lo -nn port 8000 or port 9000' for both traces.

log format
by Philippe Anctil 04 Jun '14

04 Jun '14

I have noticed stunnel 5.01 log format is different when I run it under my account vs when I run it on the system. I don't remember seeing this with stunnel 4.56 and older. Format under my account: 2014.06.02 11:38:50 LOG6[26855]: SSL accepted: new session negotiated Format on the system: Jun 4 16:27:14 hostname stunnel: LOG6[11100:0]: SSL accepted: new session negotiated When I run under my account I normally save output to a separate file with output=. I guess this is what is having an influence on the log format? Is there any way I can have logging format in my account consistent with what I have in syslog? Thanks. -- Philippe Anctil

Problem with pidfile
by reg14＠rambler.ru 30 May '14

30 May '14

I run stunnel (version 5.00) as a non-root user which does not have write permissions to /var/run. So I created file /var/run/stunnel.log with right access for that user -rw-r--r--. 1 stunnel stunnel 0 May 28 21:31 stunnel.pid When I start daemon, it writes to logfile the following 2014.05.28 22:18:44 LOG3[8878]: Cannot create pid file /var/run/stunnel.pid 2014.05.28 22:18:44 LOG3[8878]: create: File exists (17) It seems that it tries to create pidfile in /var/run, and ignores that the file is already exists. As a result, pid is not written to stunnel.pid, and daemon crashes. Could this be fixed?

Strange performance problem, need help troubleshooting
by Paulo Azevedo 24 May '14

24 May '14

I have a strange performance problem with stunnel, could you help me? Here is my setup: PC1 & PC2 -- Switch (GbE) -- Switch (100mbps) -- Router -- modem -- Internet PC1 has stunnel and HFS installed, sharing a folder to the internet.My internet upload speed is 20Mbps. With this setup, I can serve files at 8Mbps over the internet, but if I disable stunnel the speed doubles to 16Mbps. However, with stunnel active, if I try the same with PC2, I get 82Mbps (using the internet IP, it goes all the way to the router), so this does not appear to be a performance problem on the hardware. Can you give me some hints on what is limiting my speed here?

[patch] Systemd socket activation support in daemon mode
by Mark Theunissen 14 May '14

14 May '14

Hi, This patch allows stunnel to be started in daemon mode by systemd's socket activation. This is superior to inetd mode, for all the reasons specified in the stunnel howto. Since systemd is now the default in most of the major Linux distros, it would be great to have this committed upstream. https://gist.github.com/marktheunissen/7ce9426e66aa8f0ec2e1 Example systemd unit files: ### stunnel.socket [Unit] Description=Stunnel socket After=network.target [Socket] ListenStream=9999 ### stunnel.service [Unit] Description=Stunnel service After=network.target [Service] Type=forking ExecStart=stunnel /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf Thanks, Mark Theunissen

Re: [stunnel-users] certificate verify failed

Roman, I was wondering if you changed your verify from level 3 to level 2, and if this resolved your peer disconnection error with stunnel. We're experiencing a similar problem but was wondering if anyone out there has resolved this issue already; and if so..how? :) Respectfully, Aaron Haywood | Systems Administrator [cid:image002.png@01CEDA11.E935A7F0] O: 858.614.1547 | M: 858.699.8302 | www.sdhealthconnect.org CONNECT WITH US: Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/SDHealthConnect?filter=1> | Twitter<https://twitter.com/SDHealthConnect> | LinkedIn<http://www.linkedin.com/company/san-diego-health-connect?trk=company_logo> | Google+<https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/112077458420951237937/112077458420951237937/p…> | YouTube<http://www.youtube.com/SDHealthConnect>

Verify=2 and Verification Depth...
by Matt Wise 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

It was my understanding that when you have an Stunnel Server configured with 'verify=2', that the client that connects must have a certificate signed by the same CA/SubCA combination that the server does. So for example: - My_Root_Ca (private CA) - Some_Random_Cert.pem - Stunnel_Sub_Ca: - Server.pem - Client.pem - Postgres_Sub_Ca: - Server.pem - postgres_user.pem With the above structure in place (and the stunnel server using Stunnel_Sub_Ca/Server.pem) if someone tried to connect in with the Stunnel_Sub_Ca/Client.pem cert, it would work... but if they tried to connect in with Postgres_Sub_Ca/Server.pem, it wouldn't. Unfortunately we're not seeing that behavior... we're seeing a behavior where *every* cert signed by the overall Root CA is validated. We're able to connect in using Some_Random_Cert.pem, Postgres_Sub_Ca/Server.pem and Postgres_Sub_Ca/postgres_user.pem. This feels wrong ... what am I missing?

ephemeral port limit
by Frank Liu 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Hi, I am trying to use stunnel to add ssl support to my app. My app and linux server are tuned to accept 200k+ connections without a problem. When adding stunnel on the same server, the connection stops when it reaches 64k due to stunnel uses ephemeral ports to connect to my app on the localhost. Any suggestions how to get around this limit? One thing I am thinking of is to add 10 virtual interfaces on loopback: lo0:2, lo0:3, etc with ip 127.0.0.2, 127.0.0.3 etc. Can stunnel be configured to cycle through a pool of ip for outbound connection to my app listening on 127.0.0.1? That would give 10x64k of ephemeral ports. I see stunnel has "local" to specify outgoing ip, but I am not sure if it supports a list of ip or use multiple times. If so, will it round robin the list? Thanks Frank

Hello, I'm trying to enable Forward Secrecy. have an stunnel 4.56 instance compiled with authpriv and xforwardedfor patches, configured as follows: sslVersion = all options = NO_SSLv2 ciphers = ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:AES256-GCM-SHA384:AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES256-SHA256:AES128-SHA256:AES256-SHA:AES128-SHA:DES-CBC3-SHA:HIGH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!CAMELLIA:!DES:!MD5:!PSK:!RC4 renegotiation = no setuid = nobody setgid = nobody socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 libwrap = no TIMEOUTbusy = 120 xforwardedfor = yes [domain.com] accept = X.X.X.X:443 connect = 127.0.0.1:91 cert = /etc/pki/tls/certs/domain.pem key = /etc/pki/tls/private/domain.key domain.pem contains both the SSL certificate and the DH parameters (generated with "openssl dhparams 2048"). stunnel initializes the DH parameters correctly: 2014.04.14 12:08:18 LOG6[16629:140355580176320]: Initializing service [domain.com] 2014.04.14 12:08:18 LOG7[16629:140355580176320]: Certificate: /etc/pki/tls/certs/domain.pem 2014.04.14 12:08:18 LOG7[16629:140355580176320]: Certificate loaded 2014.04.14 12:08:18 LOG7[16629:140355580176320]: Key file: /etc/pki/tls/private/domain.key 2014.04.14 12:08:18 LOG7[16629:140355580176320]: Private key loaded 2014.04.14 12:08:18 LOG7[16629:140355580176320]: Using DH parameters from /etc/pki/tls/certs/domain.pem 2014.04.14 12:08:18 LOG7[16629:140355580176320]: DH initialized with 2048-bit key 2014.04.14 12:08:18 LOG7[16629:140355580176320]: SSL options set: 0x01000004 When I try to connect using openssl s_client, the connections fails with it unable to negotiate a cipher.

I tried different cipher combinations (i.e. "HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5"), but no lock. FWIW, the initial DH cipher list in the stunnel config file works correctly in an SSL nginx instance and openssl s_client negotiates "ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA". Any idea what may be wrong with stunnel? Thanks, Ovidiu

Hi, Mike! In spite of new changes, it's still work incorrect because of init_remote(c) connect to the address from root config section: protocol(c, PROTOCOL_PRE_CONNECT); init_remote(c); <<<<<<<<<< destination address from root section protocol(c, PROTOCOL_PRE_SSL); init_ssl(c); <<<<<<<<<<< switch to target SNI config section only there protocol(c, PROTOCOL_POST_SSL); <<<<<<<<<<< send PROXY protocol to incorrect address Context switch to target section parameters after init_ssl(c) only. /Alexey V.

Re: [stunnel-users] Some troubles with PROXY protocol

Hi, Mike! I have analyze your fix and found mistake :( We will switch to target SNI section after init_ssl(c) only, thereby init_remote(c) will be connect to wrong destination. if(!c->opt->option.client && c->opt->protocol<0 #ifndef OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT && !c->opt->servername_list_head #endif ) { /* server mode and no protocol negotiation needed */ init_ssl(c); init_remote(c); } else { /* client mode or protocol negotiation enabled */ protocol(c, PROTOCOL_PRE_CONNECT); init_remote(c); <<<<<<<<<< Incorrect destination protocol(c, PROTOCOL_PRE_SSL); init_ssl(c); <<<<<<<<<<< switch to target SNI config section only there protocol(c, PROTOCOL_POST_SSL); } /Alexey V.

stunnel 5.01 released
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. Home page: https://www.stunnel.org/ Download: https://www.stunnel.org/downloads.html SHA-256 hash for stunnel-5.01.tar.gz: 2565bf58ffe8a612304c64df621105b2e42d6e389e815ed4205dbeec4f3f886b Best regards, Mike
