by Michal Trojnara 25 Dec '04

25 Dec '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Here is the ChangeLog entry: Version 4.06, 2004.12.26, urgency: LOW: * New feature sponsored by SURFnet http://www.surfnet.nl/ - IPv6 support (to be enabled with ./configure --enable-ipv6). * New features - poll() support - no more FD_SETSIZE limit! - Multiple connect=host:port options are allowed in a single service section. Remote hosts are connected using round-robin algorithm. This feature is not compatible with delayed resolver. - New 'compression' option to enable compression. To use zlib algorithm you have to enable it when building OpenSSL library. - New 'engine' option to select a hardware engine. - New 'TIMEOUTconnect' option with 10 seconds default added. - stunnel3 perl script to emulate version 3.x command line options. - French manual updated by Bernard Choppy <choppy AT free POINT fr>. - A watchdog to detect transfer() infinite loops added. - Configuration file comment character changed from '#' to ';'. '#' will still be recognized to keep compatibility. - MT-safe getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() are used where available to get better performance on resolver calls. - Automake upgraded from 1.4-p4 to 1.7.9. * Bugfixes - log() changed to s_log() to avoid conflicts on some systems. - Common CRIT_INET critical section introduced instead of separate CRIT_NTOA and CRIT_RESOLVER to avoid potential problems with libwrap (TCP Wrappers) library. - CreateThread() finally replaced with _beginthread() on Win32. - make install creates $(localstatedir)/stunnel. $(localstatedir)/stunnel/dev/zero is also created on Solaris. - Race condition with client session cache fixed. - Other minor bugfixes. * Release notes - Win32 port requires Winsock2 to work. Some Win95 systems may need a free update from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/ - Default is *not* to use IPv6 '::' for accept and '::1' for connect. For example to accept pop3s on IPv6 you could use: 'accept = :::995'. I hope the new syntax is clear enough.

Fwd: [stunnel-users] stunnel 'options' section of config file
by Justin Miller 21 Dec '04

21 Dec '04

I understand the security concerns... I was just trying different protocols because I was receiving weird error messages with some https proxies (using the mathias wald patch) about wrong version numbers, etc. Googling it seemed to indicate that enabling/disabling ssl2/ssl3/tls1 could do the trick. However, I can't even get 'openssl s_client...' to yield a successful connection with some of these proxies. Can stunnel handle incoming http or socks proxy requests/connections? If not, will you ever support that? For instance I want stunnel listening on a local port 8080 and connect to a remote https proxy, and I set the HTTP proxy server in gaim to localhost:8080. -Justin On Tue, 21 Dec 2004 15:20:19 +0100, Michal Trojnara <Michal.Trojnara(a)mobi-com.net> wrote: > Justin Miller wrote: > > So all looks well ang good...

stunnel 'options' section of config file
by Justin Miller 21 Dec '04

21 Dec '04

Is it just me, or does stunnel not seem to obey the ssl 'options' setting in the config file? I have the lines: options = TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG options = NO_TLSv1 options = NO_SSLv3 And when I start stunnel, the output is: 2004.12.20 07:47:46 LOG7[9981:1024]: Configuration SSL options: 0x06800000 2004.12.20 07:47:46 LOG7[9981:1024]: SSL options set: 0x06800000 So all looks well ang good... But then when it sends the client hello message, one would expect an ssl2 message, but we get the following output: 2004.12.20 07:47:51 LOG7[9984:1026]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 write client hello A 2004.12.20 07:47:51 LOG7[9984:1026]: waitforsocket: FD=10, DIR=read 2004.12.20 07:47:51 LOG7[9984:1026]: waitforsocket: ok 2004.12.20 07:47:51 LOG7[9984:1026]: SSL alert (write): fatal: handshake failure 2004.12.20 07:47:51 LOG3[9984:1026]: SSL_connect: 1408F10B: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number That first line seems to indicate that it's still sending a v3 message. Is this actually what's happening?

stunnel 4.06 and compression
by saruman 20 Dec '04

20 Dec '04

Hello. Is there any way to get the beta version of stunnel 4.06 (I've seen in this list that it must support compression)? Or if I can't get new version - can I somehow enable compression in stunnel 4.05? Oleg Ivanov

Problem with huge stunnel.conf
by CIM Massy 20 Dec '04

20 Dec '04

Hi everyone ! I have 900 (W2K) machines that I have to securely log onto. I chose to use both of Ultr@VNC and RealVNC 4.0 (running on ports 5900 & 5901). And I chose to use STunnel 4.05 on W2K to secure the sockets. On my admin PC, Stunnel.conf looks like /*******************************/ #cert stuff [ultravnc0101] accept = 127.0.1.1:5900 connect = PC0101:5700 [realvnc0101] accept = 127.0.1.1:5901 connect = PC0101:5701 ... [ultravnc1000] accept = 127.0.10.0:5900 connect = PC1000:5700 [realvnc1000] accept = 127.0.10.0:5901 connect = PC1000:5701 /*******************************/ And it does only work for the first 31 pairs of "services". (No Authentification issues.) When I move the "PC0101" services to the end of the file it will not work anymore, whereas it does when it's first in the .conf file. I guess having 1800 services is not necessarily the way Stunnel is meant to work... Is it a known issue ? I haven't been able to find any infos on it in newsgroups or with Google. It does not seem to be a W2K problem since it works with the 64 first services. If anyone knows a workaround... Thanks for your help, Reagrds Philippe HAMEAU

UDP applications
by Paul 20 Dec '04

20 Dec '04

Hi all, Is there any roadmap for Stunnel to support UDP applications? Cant a simple UDP forwarder (with proper buffering to ensure a tcp-like stream of data) do the job? May be this topic is discussed and brainstormed before. I couldnot find any relevant details about this in the archives. Thanks and Regards, Paul

Need help: verification of client and server certificates
by Mike_Stunnel 19 Dec '04

19 Dec '04

For my Stunnel server, I'm using Windows ME, OpenSSL 0.9.7e and Stunnel 4.05. I've create my own Certificate Authority on my server and created and signed a server and multiple client certificates for Stunnel. I plan to use Stunnel to secure my VNC connections to my PC - to encrypt the traffic and to validate the clients. On the server side: ------------------- I want to limit connections to my Stunnel server to only those Stunnel clients that present a client certificate that I already have a copy of on my server. And I want Stunnel server to only recognize my own Certificate Authority as a valid CA for the clients' certificates. Is this possible? What options do I need to specify in the Stunnel server configuration file to make this work? The documentation is confusing to me - for example, do I use CAfile or CApath to point Stunnel to the the CA certificate? Will Stunnel recognize other CAs as trusted, if their certificates have been loaded by other programs like a browsers or mail reader? Etcetera .. On the client side: ------------------- As with the server, I want my Stunnel client to only recognize my own CA as trusted. And I want it to validate the server certificate as thoroughly as possible. Is that verify level 3? I need the CA certificate on my client, but do I use CAfile or CAcert in the config file to point to it? Do I need a copy of the server certificate on my client so that the client can verify the server's certificate? I'm so confused! I've read the FAQ and Related links on stunnel.org and also the past 4 months' mailing list digests but I'm still not clear on the certificate verification process. or all the options in the configuration file.
