Motivation:
Profiling tcnative SSL code showed a non trivial percentage (1%)
of time spent in JNI code for InstaceOf. This turned out to be
from `Buffer.address` which makes a JNI call, which safely checks
on each call that The ByteBuffer is direct.
Modification:
Prefer using the address field of the pojo rather than looking it
up with JNI. This is the same approach taken by the `OpenSsl`
class.
Result:
Less JNI overhead
Motivation:
The code did reflection every method call which made the code slower and
harder to read with additional cases to consider.
Modifications:
Instead of loading the method and then throwing it away, save the Method
reference instead of the Class reference. Then also use more precise
exception handling for the method invocation.
Result:
Simpler, speedier code.
Motivation:
Sometimes, it would be convenient to be able to easily enable all
supported cipher suites, regardless of security.
Currently, the only way it to retrieve all supported ciphers and pass
them explicitly.
Modification:
Introduce a new IdentityCipherSuiteFilter singleton that defaults to
supportedCiphers instead of defaultCiphers when ciphers are null.
Result:
Convenient way to enabled all supported cipher suites.
Motivation:
In google/conscrypt#313 the Conscrypt.Engines class was removed in favor
of methods directly on Conscrypt and overloading. The Conscrypt-using
code in Netty used reflection to access the old API, that doesn't exist
anymore. And thus recent versions of Conscrypt fail to enable things
like ALPN with Netty.
Modifications:
Instead of calling Conscrypt.Engines.isConscrypt, call
Conscrypt.isConscrypt.
Result:
Conscrypt detected properly at runtime.
Motivation:
JdkSslContext builds the list of supported cipher suites, but assumes that ciphers prefixed with SSL_ and TLS_ will be interchangeable. However this is not the case and only applies to a small subset of ciphers. This results in the JdkSslContext attempting to use unsupported ciphers.
Modifications:
- When building the list of ciphers in JdkSslContext we should first check if the engine supports the TLS_ prefix cipher.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7673
Motivation:
SslHandler#decode methods catch any exceptions and attempt to wrap
before shutting down the engine. The intention is to write any alerts
which the engine may have pending. However the wrap process may also
attempt to write user data, and may also complete the associated
promises. If this is the case, and a promise listener closes the channel
then SslHandler may later propagate a SslHandshakeCompletionEvent user
event through the pipeline. Since the channel has already been closed
the user may no longer be paying attention to user events.
Modifications:
- Sslhandler#decode should first fail the associated handshake promise
and propagate the SslHandshakeCompletionEvent before attempting to wrap
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7639
Motivation:
Will allow easy removal of deprecated methods in future.
Modification:
Replaced ctx.attr(), ctx.hasAttr() with ctx.channel().attr(), ctx.channel().hasAttr().
Result:
No deprecated ctx.attr(), ctx.hasAttr() methods usage.
Motivation:
We recently removed support for renegotiation, but there are still some hooks to attempt to allow remote initiated renegotiation to succeed. The remote initated renegotiation can be even more problematic from a security stand point and should also be removed.
Modifications:
- Remove state related to remote iniated renegotiation from OpenSslEngine
Result:
More renegotiation code removed from the OpenSslEngine code path.
Motivation:
When using netty on android or with for example a IBM JVM it may not be able to build a SslContext as we hardcoded the use of JKS and SunX509 (which both may not be present).
Modifications:
- Use the default algorithm / type which can be override via a System property
- Remove System property check as its redundant with KeyManagerFactory.getDefaultAlgorithm()
Result:
More portable code. Fixes [#7546].
Motivation:
SSL.setState() has gone from openssl 1.1. Calling it is, and probably
always has been, incorrect. Doing renogitation in this manner is
potentially insecure. There have been at least two insecure
renegotiation vulnerabilities in users of the OpenSSL library.
Renegotiation is not necessary for correct operation of the TLS protocol.
BoringSSL has already eliminated this functionality, and the tests
(now deleted) were not running on BoringSSL.
Modifications:
If the connection setup has completed, always return that
negotiation is not supported. Previously this was done only if we were
the client.
Remove the tests for this functionality.
Fixes#6320.
Motivation:
We tried to call `select` after we closed the channel (and so removed all the handlers from the pipeline) when we detected a non SSL record. This would cause an exception like this:
```
Caused by: java.util.NoSuchElementException: io.netty.handler.ssl.SniHandler
at io.netty.channel.DefaultChannelPipeline.getContextOrDie(DefaultChannelPipeline.java:1098)
at io.netty.channel.DefaultChannelPipeline.replace(DefaultChannelPipeline.java:506)
at io.netty.handler.ssl.SniHandler.replaceHandler(SniHandler.java:133)
at io.netty.handler.ssl.SniHandler.onLookupComplete(SniHandler.java:113)
at io.netty.handler.ssl.AbstractSniHandler.select(AbstractSniHandler.java:225)
at io.netty.handler.ssl.AbstractSniHandler.decode(AbstractSniHandler.java:218)

at io.netty.handler.codec.ByteToMessageDecoder.callDecode(ByteToMessageDecoder.java:428)
... 40 more
```
Modifications:
- Ensure we rethrow the NotSslRecordException when detecting it (and closing the channel). This will also ensure we not call `select(...)`
- Not catch `Throwable` but only `Exception`
- Add test case.
Result:
Correctly handle the case of an non SSL record.
* FIX: force a read operation for peer instead of self
Motivation:
When A is in `writeInProgress` and call self close, A should
`finishPeerRead` for B(A' peer).
Modifications:
Call `finishPeerRead` with peer in `LocalChannel#doClose`
Result:
Clear confuse of code logic
* FIX: preserves order of close after write in same event loop
Motivation:
If client and server(client's peer channel) are in same event loop, client writes data to
server in `ChannelActive`. Server receives the data and write it
back. The client's read can't be triggered becasue client's
`ChannelActive` is not finished at this point and its `readInProgress`
is false. Then server closes itself, it will also close the client's
channel. And client has no chance to receive the data.
Modifications:
1. Add a test case to demonstrate the problem
2. When `doClose` peer, we always call
`peer.eventLoop().execute()` and `registerInProgress` is not needed.
3. Remove test case
`testClosePeerInWritePromiseCompleteSameEventLoopPreservesOrder`. This
test case can't pass becasue of this commit. IMHO, I think it is OK,
becasue it is reasonable that the client flushes the data to socket,
then server close the channel without received the data.
4. For mismatch test in SniClientTest, the client should receive server's alert before closed(caused by server's close)
Result:
The problem is gone.
Motivation:
At the moment its a bit "hacky" to retrieve the hostname that was used during SNI as you need to hold a reference to SniHandler and then call hostname() once the selection is done. It would be better to fire an event to let the user know we did the selection.
Modifications:
Add a SniCompletionEvent that can be used to get the hostname that was used to do the selection and was included in the SNI extension.
Result:
Easier usage of SNI.
Motivation:
We only want to log for the particular case when debug logging is enabled so we not need to try to match the message if this is not the case.
Modifications:
Guard with logger.isDebugEnabled()
Result:
Less overhead when debug logging is not enabled.
Motivation:
SslHandler will do aggregation of writes by default in an attempt to improve goodput and reduce the number of discrete buffers which must be accumulated. However if aggregation is not possible then a CompositeByteBuf is used to accumulate multiple buffers. Using a CompositeByteBuf doesn't provide any of the benefits of better goodput and in the case of small + large writes (e.g. http/2 frame header + data) this can reduce the amount of data that can be passed to writev by about half. This has the impact of increasing latency as well as reducing goodput.
Modifications:
- SslHandler should prefer copying instead of using a CompositeByteBuf
Result:
Better goodput (and potentially improved latency) at the cost of copy operations.
Motivation:
The default enabled cipher suites of the OpenSsl engine are not set to
SslUtils#DEFAULT_CIPHER_SUITES. Instead all available cipher suites are
enabled. This should happen only as a fallback.
Modifications:
Moved the line in the static initializer in OpenSsl which adds the
SslUtils#DEFAULT_CIPHER_SUITES to the default enabled cipher suites up
before the fallback.
Result:
The default enabled cipher suites of the OpenSsl engine are set to the
available ones of the SslUtils#DEFAULT_CIPHER_SUITES.
The default enabled cipher suites of the OpenSsl engine are only set to
all available cipher suites if no one of the
SslUtils#DEFAULT_CIPHER_SUITES is supported.
Automatic-Module-Name entry provides a stable JDK9 module name, when Netty is used in a modular JDK9 applications. More info: http://blog.joda.org/2017/05/java-se-9-jpms-automatic-modules.html
When Netty migrates to JDK9 in the future, the entry can be replaced by actual module-info descriptor.
Modification:
The POM-s are configured to put the correct module names to the manifest.
Result:
Fixes#7218.
Motivation:
We should not fire a SslHandshakeEvent if the channel is closed but the handshake was not started.
Modifications:
- Add a variable to SslHandler which tracks if an handshake was started yet or not and depending on this fire the event.
- Add a unit test
Result:
Fixes [#7262].
Motivation:
The behavior for SelectorFailureBehavior and SelectedListenerFailureBehavior enum values are not clear. Additional comments would clarify the expected behavior.
Modifications:
- Add comments for each value in SelectedListenerFailureBehavior and SelectorFailureBehavior which clarify the expected behavior
Result:
The behavior of SelectedListenerFailureBehavior and SelectorFailureBehavior are more clearly communicated.
Motivation:
At the moment use loops to run SslHandler tests with different SslProviders which is error-prone and also make it difficult to understand with which provider these failed.
Modifications:
- Move unit tests that should run with multiple SslProviders to extra class.
- Use junit Parameterized to run with different SslProvider combinations
Result:
Easier to understand which SslProvider produced test failures
complete
Motivation:
SslHandler removes a Buffer/Promise pair from
AbstractCoalescingBufferQueue when wrapping data. However it is possible
the SSLEngine will not consume the entire buffer. In this case
SslHandler adds the Buffer back to the queue, but doesn't add the
Promise back to the queue. This may result in the promise completing
immediately in finishFlush, and generally not correlating to the
completion of writing the corresponding Buffer
Modifications:
- AbstractCoalescingBufferQueue#addFirst should also support adding the
ChannelPromise
- In the event of a handshake timeout we should immediately fail pending
writes immediately to get a more accurate exception
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7378.
Motivation:
SslHandler only supports ByteBuf objects, but will not release objects of other types. SslHandler will also not release objects if its internal state is not correctly setup.
Modifications:
- Release non-ByteBuf objects in write
- Release all objects if the SslHandler queue is not setup
Result:
Less leaks in SslHandler.
Motivation:
HTTP/2 allows writes of 0 length data frames. However in some cases EMPTY_BUFFER is used instead of the actual buffer that was written. This may mask writes of released buffers or otherwise invalid buffer objects. It is also possible that if the buffer is invalid AbstractCoalescingBufferQueue will not release the aggregated buffer nor fail the associated promise.
Modifications:
- DefaultHttp2FrameCodec should take care to fail the promise, even if releasing the data throws
- AbstractCoalescingBufferQueue should release any aggregated data and fail the associated promise if something goes wrong during aggregation
Result:
More correct handling of invalid buffers in HTTP/2 code.
infinite loop
Motivation:
If SslHandler sets jdkCompatibilityMode to false and ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine sets jdkCompatibilityMode to true there is a chance we will get stuck in an infinite loop if the peer sends a TLS packet with length greater than 2^14 (the maximum length allowed in the TLS 1.2 RFC [1]). However there are legacy implementations which actually send larger TLS payloads than 2^14 (e.g. OpenJDK's SSLSessionImpl [2]) and in this case ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine will return BUFFER_OVERFLOW in an attempt to notify that a larger buffer is to be used, but if the buffer is already at max size this process will repeat indefinitely.
[1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5246#section-6.2.1
[2] http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/jdk/file/d5a00b1e8f78/src/share/classes/sun/security/ssl/SSLSessionImpl.java#l793
Modifications:
- Support TLS payload sizes greater than 2^14 in ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine
- ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine should throw an exception if a
BUFFER_OVERFLOW is impossible to rectify
Result:
No more infinite loop in ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine due to
BUFFER_OVERFLOW and large TLS payload lengths.
Motivation:
ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine.rejectRemoteInitiatedRenegotiation() is called in a finally block to ensure we always check for renegotiation. The problem here is that sometimes we will already shutdown the engine before we call the method which will lead to an NPE in this case as the ssl pointer was already destroyed.
Modifications:
Check that the engine is not destroyed yet before calling SSL.getHandshakeCount(...)
Result:
Fixes [#7353].
Motivation:
Some SSLEngine implementations (e.g. ReferenceCountedOpenSslContext) support unwrapping/wrapping multiple packets at a time. The SslHandler behaves differently if the SSLEngine supports this feature, but currently requires that the constructor argument between the SSLEngine creation and SslHandler are coordinated. This can be difficult, or require package private access, if extending the SslHandler.
Modifications:
- The SslHandler should inspect the SSLEngine to see if it supports jdkCompatibilityMode instead of relying on getting an extra constructor argument which maybe out of synch with the SSLEngine
Result:
Easier to override SslHandler and have consistent jdkCompatibilityMode between SSLEngine and SslHandler.
Motivation:
We should ensure we only try to load the netty-tcnative version that was compiled for the architecture we are using.
Modifications:
Include architecture into native lib name.
Result:
Only load native lib if the architecture is supported.
Motivation:
We can end up with a buffer leak if SSLEngine.wrap(...) throws.
Modifications:
Correctly release the ByteBuf if SSLEngine.wrap(...) throws.
Result:
Fixes [#7337].
Motivation:
A regression was introduced in 86e653e which had the effect that the writability was not updated for a Channel while queueing data in the SslHandler.
Modifications:
- Factor out code that will increment / decrement pending bytes and use it in AbstractCoalescingBufferQueue and PendingWriteQueue
- Add test-case
Result:
Channel writability changes are triggered again.
Motivation:
Bug in capacity calculation: occurs auto convert to string instead of sum up.
Modifications:
Use `eventName.length()` in sum.
Result:
Less trash in logs.
Motivation:
We should also enforce the handshake timeout on the server-side to allow closing connections which will not finish the handshake in an expected amount of time.
Modifications:
- Enforce the timeout on the server and client side
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes [#7230].
Motivation:
Even if it's a super micro-optimization (most JVM could optimize such
cases in runtime), in theory (and according to some perf tests) it
may help a bit. It also makes a code more clear and allows you to
access such methods in the test scope directly, without instance of
the class.
Modifications:
Add 'static' modifier for all methods, where it possible. Mostly in
test scope.
Result:
Cleaner code with proper 'static' modifiers.
Motivation:
Without a 'serialVersionUID' field, any change to a class will make
previously serialized versions unreadable.
Modifications:
Add missed 'serialVersionUID' field for all Serializable
classes.
Result:
Proper deserialization of previously serialized objects.
Motivation: Today when Netty encounters a general error while decoding
it treats this as a decoder exception. However, for fatal causes this
should not be treated as such, instead the fatal error should be carried
up the stack without the callee having to unwind causes. This was
probably done for byte to byte message decoder but is now done for all
decoders.
Modifications: Instead of translating any error to a decoder exception,
we let those unwind out the stack (note that finally blocks still
execute) except in places where an event needs to fire where we fire
with the error instead of wrapping in a decoder exception.
Result: Fatal errors will not be treated as innocent decoder exceptions.
Motivation:
Java9SslEngine did not correctly implement ApplicationProtocolAccessor and so returned an empty String when no extension was used while the interface contract is to return null. This lead to the situation that ApplicationProtocolNegationHandler did not correct work.
Modifications:
- Rename ApplicationProtocolAccessor.getApplicationProtocol() to getNegotiatedApplicationProtocol() which resolves the clash with the method exposed by Java9s SSLEngine.
- Correctly implement getNegotiatedApplicationProtocol() for Java9Sslengine
- Add delegate in Java9Sslengine.getApplicationProtocol() which is provided by Java9
- Adjust tests to test the correct behaviour.
Result:
Fixes [#7251].
Motivation:
Getting the latest Conscrypt goodies.
Modifications:
A few API changes have occurred, specifically in the Conscrypt
class.
Result:
Netty now builds and tests against Conscrypt 1.0.0.RC11
Motivation:
A bunch of unit tests are failing due to certificates having expired.
This has to be replaced with a newly generated certificate that has a
longer validity.
Modifications:
- generated a certificate with validity of 100 years from now
Results:
Unit tests are passing again
Motivation:
We should only try to load the native artifacts if the architecture we are currently running on is the same as the one the native libraries were compiled for.
Modifications:
Include architecture in native lib name and append the current arch when trying to load these. This will fail then if its not the same as the arch of the compiled arch.
Result:
Fixes [#7150].
Motivation:
Netty is unable to use Java9s ALPN support atm.
Modifications:
When running on Java9+ we invoke the correct methods that are exposed on the Java9+ implementation of SSLEngine and so be able to support ALPN.
This patch is based on the work of @rschmitt and so https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/6992.
Result:
Fixes#6933.
Motivation:
netty-tcnative recently change the name of the native libraries from using - to _.
Modifications:
- OpenSsl should use _ instead of - even for the classifiers to be consistent with netty-tcnative
Result:
Loading netty-tcnative works.
Motivation:
We should deprecate ApplicationProtocolNegotiator as the users should use ApplicationProtocolConfig these days.
Modifications:
Add deprecation annotations and javadocs.
Result:
Be able to make package-private in next major release.
Motivation:
When SslHandlerTest#testCompositeBufSizeEstimationGuaranteesSynchronousWrite fails it would be useful to know the SslProvider type
Modifications:
- Print the sever and client SslProvider upon failure
- Increase test timeout to 8 minutes to allow more time to run
Result:
Failures include more info to help diagnose issues.
Motivation:
DelegatingSslContext at the moment intercept newEngine calls and allow to init the SslEngine after it is created. The problem here is that this may not work the SSLEngine that is wrapped in the SslHandler when calling newHandler(...). This is because some SslContext implementations not delegate to newEngine(...) when creating the SslHandler to allow some optimizations. For this we should also allow to init the SslHandler after its creation and by default just delegate to initEngine(...).
Modifications:
Allow the user to also init the SslHandler after creation while by default init its SSLEngine after creation.
Result:
More flexible and correct code.
This reverts commit d63bb4811e as this not covered correctly all cases and so could lead to missing fireChannelReadComplete() calls. We will re-evalute d63bb4811e and resbumit a pr once we are sure all is handled correctly
Motivation:
We recently changed netty-tcnative to use underscores in its native library names.
Modifications:
Update code to use underscores when loading native library.
Result:
More consistent code.
Motivation:
SslHandlerTest#testCompositeBufSizeEstimationGuaranteesSynchronousWrite has been observed to fail on CI servers, but it is not clear why.
Modifications:
- Add more visibility into what the state was and what the condition that caused the failure was.
Result:
More visibility when the test fails.
Motivation:
Commit 4448b8f42f introduced some API breakage which we need to revert before we release.
Modifications:
- Introduce an AllocatorAwareSslEngineWrapperFactory which expose an extra method that takes a ByteBufAllocator as well.
- Revert API changes to SslEngineWrapperFactory.
Result:
API breakage reverted.
Motivation:
Its wasteful and also confusing that channelReadComplete() is called even if there was no message forwarded to the next handler.
Modifications:
- Only call ctx.fireChannelReadComplete() if at least one message was decoded
- Add unit test
Result:
Less confusing behavior. Fixes [#4312].
Motivation:
We need to ensure we not try to load any conscrypt classes directly (which means without using reflection) in the same class that is used to check if conscrypt is available. This is needed as otherwise we will have the following problem when try to use netty on java7:
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/conscrypt/BufferAllocator : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0
at io.netty.handler.ssl.ConscryptJdkSslEngineInteropTest.checkConscrypt(ConscryptJdkSslEngineInteropTest.java:49)
This regression was introduced by 4448b8f42f and detected on the CI when using:
mvn clean package -DtestJavaHome=$JAVA7_HOME
Modifications:
Move the detection code in an extra class and use it.
Result:
Works correctly also when using Java7.
Motivation:
Starting with 1.0.0.RC9, conscrypt supports a buffer allocator.
Modifications:
- Updated the creation process for the engine to pass through the
ByteBufAllocator.
- Wrap a ByteBufAllocator with an adapter for conscrypt.
- Added a property to optionally control whether conscrypt uses
Netty's buffer allocator.
Result:
Netty+conscrypt will support using Netty's ByteBufAllocator.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we only create the ResourceLeak when the constructor not throws.
Modifications:
Ensure ResourceLeakDetector.track(...) is only called if the constructor of ReferenceCoundedOpenSslEngine not throws.
Result:
No more false-positves.
Motivation:
ByteBuf#ensureWritable(int,boolean) returns an int indicating the status of the resize operation. For buffers that are unmodifiable or cannot be resized this method shouldn't throw but just return 1.
ByteBuf#ensureWriteable(int) should throw unmodifiable buffers.
Modifications:
- ReadOnlyByteBuf should be updated as described above.
- Add a unit test to SslHandler which verifies the read only buffer can be tolerated in the aggregation algorithm.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7002.
Motivation:
Lots of usages of SelfSignedCertificates were not deleting the certs at
the end of the test. This includes setupHandlers() which is used by
extending classes. Although these files will be deleted at JVM exit and
deleting them early does not free the JVM from trying to delete them at
shutdown, it's good practice to delete eagerly and since users sometimes
use tests as a form of documentation, it'd be good for them to see the
explicit deletes.
Modifications:
Add missing delete() calls to ½ of the SelfSignedCertificates-using
tests.
Result:
Tests that more clearly communicates which resources are created and
may accumulate without early delete.
Motivation:
Previously filterCipherSuites was being passed the OpenSSL-formatted
cipher names. Commit 43ae974 introduced a regression as it swapped to the
RFC/JDK format, except that user-provided ciphers were not converted and
remained in the OpenSSL format.
This mis-match would cause all user-provided to be thrown away, leading
to failure trying to set zero ciphers:
Exception in thread "main" javax.net.ssl.SSLException: failed to set cipher suite: []

... 7 more
Modifications:
Remove the reformatting of user-provided ciphers, as they are already in
the RFC/JDK format.
Result:
No regression, and the internals stay sane using the RFC/JDK format.
Motivation:
Some ChannelOptions must be set before the Channel is really registered to have the desired effect.
Modifications:
Add another constructor argument which allows to not register the EmbeddedChannel to its EventLoop until the user calls register().
Result:
More flexible usage of EmbeddedChannel. Also Fixes [#6968].
Motivation:
6152990073 introduced a test-case in SSLEngineTest which used OpenSsl.* which should not be done as this is am abstract bass class that is also used for non OpenSsl tests.
Modifications:
Move the protocol definations into SslUtils.
Result:
Cleaner code.
Motivation:
Code introduced in 6152990073 can be cleaned up and use array initializer expressions.
Modifications:
Use array initializer expressions.
Result:
Cleaner code.
Motivation:
TLS doesn't support a way to advertise non-contiguous versions from the client's perspective, and the client just advertises the max supported version. The TLS protocol also doesn't support all different combinations of discrete protocols, and instead assumes contiguous ranges. OpenSSL has some unexpected behavior (e.g. handshake failures) if non-contiguous protocols are used even where there is a compatible set of protocols and ciphers. For these reasons this method will determine the minimum protocol and the maximum protocol and enabled a contiguous range from [min protocol, max protocol] in OpenSSL.
Modifications:
- ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine#setEnabledProtocols should determine the min/max protocol versions and enable a contiguous range
Result:
OpenSslEngine is more consistent with the JDK's SslEngineImpl and no more unexpected handshake failures due to protocol selection quirks.
Motivation:
Currently the default cipher suites are set independently between JDK and OpenSSL. We should use a common approach to setting the default ciphers. Also the OpenSsl default ciphers are expressed in terms of the OpenSSL cipher name conventions, which is not correct and may be exposed to the end user. OpenSSL should also use the RFC cipher names like the JDK defaults.
Modifications:
- Move the default cipher definition to a common location and use it in JDK and OpenSSL initialization
- OpenSSL should not expose OpenSSL cipher names externally
Result:
Common initialization and OpenSSL doesn't expose custom cipher names.
Motivation:
PR https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/6803 corrected an error in the return status of the OpenSslEngine. We should now be able to restore the SslHandler optimization.
Modifications:
- This reverts commit 7f3b75a509.
Result:
SslHandler optimization is restored.
Motivation:
Each call to SSL_write may introduce about ~100 bytes of overhead. The OpenSslEngine (based upon OpenSSL) is not able to do gathering writes so this means each wrap operation will incur the ~100 byte overhead. This commit attempts to increase goodput by aggregating the plaintext in chunks of <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5246#section-6.2">2^14</a>. If many small chunks are written this can increase goodput, decrease the amount of calls to SSL_write, and decrease overall encryption operations.
Modifications:
- Introduce SslHandlerCoalescingBufferQueue in SslHandler which will aggregate up to 2^14 chunks of plaintext by default
- Introduce SslHandler#setWrapDataSize to control how much data should be aggregated for each write. Aggregation can be disabled by setting this value to <= 0.
Result:
Better goodput when using SslHandler and the OpenSslEngine.
Motivation:
The JDK SSLEngine documentation says that a call to wrap/unwrap "will attempt to consume one complete SSL/TLS network packet" [1]. This limitation can result in thrashing in the pipeline to decode and encode data that may be spread amongst multiple SSL/TLS network packets.
ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine also does not correct account for the overhead introduced by each individual SSL_write call if there are multiple ByteBuffers passed to the wrap() method.
Modifications:
- OpenSslEngine and SslHandler supports a mode to not comply with the limitation to only deal with a single SSL/TLS network packet per call
- ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine correctly accounts for the overhead of each call to SSL_write
- SslHandler shouldn't cache maxPacketBufferSize as aggressively because this value may change before/after the handshake.
Result:
OpenSslEngine and SslHanadler can handle multiple SSL/TLS network packet per call.
[1] https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/net/ssl/SSLEngine.html
Motivation:
SslHandlerTest#testCompositeBufSizeEstimationGuaranteesSynchronousWrite has been observed to fail on CI servers. Knowing how many bytes were seen by the client would be helpful.
Modifications:
- Add bytesSeen to the exception if the client closes early.
Result:
More debug info available.
Motivation:
ErrorProne warns about missing cases in switch statements that
appear as an oversight.
Modifcation:
Add the last case to statement to ensure all cases are covered.
Result:
Able to enable Error Prone static analysis
Motivation:
Enable static linking for Java 8. These commits are the same as those introduced to netty tcnative. The goal is to allow lots of JNI libraries to be statically linked together without having conflict `JNI_OnLoad` methods.
Modification:
* add JNI_OnLoad suffixes to enable static linking
* Add static names to the list of libraries that try to be loaded
* Enable compiling with JNI 1.8
* Sort includes
Result:
Enable statically linked JNI code.
Motivation:
PR #6811 introduced a public utility methods to decode hex dump and its parts, but they are not visible from netty-common.
Modifications:
1. Move the `decodeHexByte`, `decodeHexDump` and `decodeHexNibble` methods into `StringUtils`.
2. Apply these methods where applicable.
3. Remove similar methods from other locations (e.g. `HpackHex` test class).
Result:
Less code duplication.
Motivation:
For historical reasons OpenSSL's internal naming convention for CHACHA20 based cipher suites does not include the HMAC algorithm in the cipher name. This will prevent the CHACHA20 cipher suites from being used if the RFC cipher names are specified.
Modifications:
- Add a special case for CHACHA20 cipher name conversions in CipherSuiteConverter
- Update OPENSSL_CIPHERSUITE_PATTERN to accommodate the new naming scheme for CHACHA20 cipher suites
Result:
CipherSuiteConverter now works with CHACHA20 cipher suites.
Motivation
It's cleaner to add listeners to returned Futures rather than provided Promises because the latter can have strange side effects in terms of listeners firing and called methods returning. Adding listeners preemtively may yield also to more OPS than necessary when there's an Exception in the to be called method.
Modifications
Add listener to returned ChannelFuture rather than given ChannelPromise
Result
Cleaner completion and exception handling
Motivation:
We had some useless synchronized (ReferenceCountedOpenSslContext.class) blocks in our code which could slow down concurrent collecting and creating of ReferenceCountedOpenSslContext instances. Beside this we missed a few guards.
Modifications:
Use ReadWriteLock to correctly guard. A ReadWriteLock was choosen as SSL.newSSL(...) will be called from multiple threads all the time so using synchronized would be worse and there would be no way for the JIT to optimize it away
Result:
Faster concurrent creating and collecting of ReferenceCountedOpenSslContext instances and correctly guard in all cases.
Motivation:
If the destination buffer is completely filled during a call to OpenSslEngine#wrap(..) we may return NEED_UNWRAP because there is no data pending in the SSL buffers. However during a handshake if the SSL buffers were just drained, and filled up the destination buffer it is possible OpenSSL may produce more data on the next call to SSL_write. This means we should keep trying to call SSL_write as long as the destination buffer is filled and only return NEED_UNWRAP when the destination buffer is not full and there is no data pending in OpenSSL's buffers.
Modifications:
- If the handshake produces data in OpenSslEngine#wrap(..) we should return NEED_WRAP if the destination buffer is completely filled
Result:
OpenSslEngine returns the correct handshake status from wrap().
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6796.
Motivation
RFC 6066 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6066#page-6) says that the hostname in the SNI extension is ASCII encoded but Netty decodes it using UTF-8.
Modifications
Use ASCII instead of UTF-8
Result
Fixes#6717
Motivation
SslHandler should release any type of SSLEngine if it implements the ReferenceCounted interface
Modifications
Change condition to check for ReferenceCounted interface
Result
Better use of interfaces
Motivation:
We not correctly handle LE buffers when try to read the packet length out of the buffer and just assume it always is a BE buffer.
Modifications:
Correctly account for the endianess of the buffer when reading the packet lenght.
Result:
Fixes [#6709].
Motivation:
SslHandler#wrapNonAppData may be able to return early if it is called from a unwrap method and the status is NEED_UNWRAP. This has been observed to occur while using the OpenSslEngine and can avoid allocation of an extra ByteBuf of size 2048.
Modifications:
- Return early from SslHandler#wrapNonAppData if NEED_UNWRAP and we are called from an unwrap method
Result:
Less buffer allocations and early return from SslHandler#wrapNonAppData.
Motivation:
We only used the openssl version to detect if Ocsp is supported or not which is not good enough as even the version is correct it may be compiled without support for OCSP (like for example on ubuntu).
Modifications:
Try to enable OCSP while static init OpenSsl and based on if this works return true or false when calling OpenSsl.isOcspSupported().
Result:
Correctly detect if OSCP is supported.
Motivation:
In OpenSsl init code we create a SelfSignedCertificate which we not explicitly delete. This can lead to have the deletion delayed.
Modifications:
Delete the SelfSignedCertificate once done with it.
Result:
Fixes [#6716]
Motivation:
SSL_write requires a fixed amount of bytes for overhead related to the encryption process for each call. OpenSslEngine#wrap(..) will attempt to encrypt multiple input buffers until MAX_PLAINTEXT_LENGTH are consumed, but the size estimation provided by calculateOutNetBufSize may not leave enough room for each call to SSL_write. If SSL_write is not able to completely write results to the destination buffer it will keep state and attempt to write it later. Netty doesn't account for SSL_write keeping state and assumes all writes will complete synchronously (by attempting to allocate enough space to account for the overhead) and feeds the same data to SSL_write again later which results in corrupted data being generated.
Modifications:
- OpenSslEngine#wrap should only produce a single TLS packet according to the SSLEngine API specificaiton [1].
[1] https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/net/ssl/SSLEngine.html#wrap-java.nio.ByteBuffer:A-int-int-java.nio.ByteBuffer-
- OpenSslEngine#wrap should only consider a single buffer when determining if there is enough space to write, because only a single buffer will ever be consumed.
Result:
OpenSslEngine#wrap will no longer produce corrupted data due to incorrect accounting of space required in the destination buffers.
Motivation:
When adding SNIMatcher support we missed to use static delegating methods and so may try to load classes that not exists in Java7. Which will lead to errors.
Modifications:
- Correctly only try to load classes when running on java8+
- Ensure Java8+ related tests only run when using java8+
Result:
Fixes [#6700]
Motivation:
Conscrypt is not needed when using the handler module, so it should be marked as optional
Modifications:
Mark conscrypt as optional
Result:
Be able to use handler module without conscrypt
Motivation
SniHandler is "hardcoded" to use hostname -> SslContext mappings but there are use-cases where it's desireable and necessary to return more information than a SslContext. The only option so far has been to use a delegation pattern
Modifications
Extract parts of the existing SniHandler into an abstract base class and extend SniHandler from it. Users can do the same by extending the new abstract base class and implement custom behavior that is possibly very different from the common/default SniHandler.
Touches
- f97866dbc6
- b604a22395
Result
Fixes#6603
Motivation:
Java8 adds support for SNIMatcher to reject SNI when the hostname not matches what is expected. We not supported doing this when using SslProvider.OPENSSL*.
Modifications:
- Add support for SNIMatcher when using SslProvider.OPENSSL*
- Add unit tests
Result:
SNIMatcher now support with our own SSLEngine as well.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we only try to to test with the SslProviders that are supported when running the SslHandlerTest.testCompositeBufSizeEstimationGuaranteesSynchronousWrite test.
Modifications:
Skip SslProvider.OPENSSL* if not supported.
Result:
No more test-failures if openssl is not installed on the system.
Motivation:
Java8 adds support for SNIMatcher to reject SNI when the hostname not matches what is expected. We not supported doing this when using SslProvider.OPENSSL*.
Modifications:
- Add support for SNIMatcher when using SslProvider.OPENSSL*
- Add unit tests
Result:
SNIMatcher now support with our own SSLEngine as well.

Motivation
OCSP stapling (formally known as TLS Certificate Status Request extension) is alternative approach for checking the revocation status of X.509 Certificates. Servers can preemptively fetch the OCSP response from the CA's responder, cache it for some period of time, and pass it along during (a.k.a. staple) the TLS handshake. The client no longer has to reach out on its own to the CA to check the validity of a cetitficate. Some of the key benefits are:
1) Speed. The client doesn't have to crosscheck the certificate.
2) Efficiency. The Internet is no longer DDoS'ing the CA's OCSP responder servers.
3) Safety. Less operational dependence on the CA. Certificate owners can sustain short CA outages.
4) Privacy. The CA can lo longer track the users of a certificate.

Result
High-level API to enable OCSP stapling
Motivation:
`io.netty.handler.logging.LoggingHandler` does not log when these
events happen.
Modifiations:
Add overrides with logging to these methods.
Result:
Logging now happens for these two events.
Motivation:
In OpenSslCertificateException we tried to validate the supplied error code but did not correctly account for all different valid error codes and so threw an IllegalArgumentException.
Modifications:
- Fix validation by updating to latest netty-tcnative and use CertificateVerifier.isValid
- Add unit tests
Result:
Validation of error code works as expected.
Motivation:
1419f5b601 added support for conscrypt but the CI started to fail when running tests with java7 as conscrypt is compiled with java8. This was partly fixed in c4832cd9d9 but we also need to ensure we not try to even load the classes.
Modifications:
Only try to load conscrypt classes when on java8+-
Result:
CI not fails anymore.
Motivation:
1419f5b601 added support for conscrypt but the CI started to fail when running tests with java7 as conscrypt is compiled with java8.
Modifications:
Only support conscrypt on Java8+
Result:
CI not fails anymore.
Motivation:
Conscrypt is a Java Security provider that wraps OpenSSL (specifically BoringSSL). It's a possible alternative to Netty-tcnative that we should explore. So this commit is just to enable us to further investigate its use.
Modifications:
Modifying the SslContext creation path to support the Conscrypt provider.
Result:
Netty will support OpenSSL with conscrypt.
Motivation:
We should limit the size of the allocated outbound buffer to MAX_ENCRYPTED_PACKET_LENGTH to ensure we not cause an OOME when the user tries to encrypt a very big buffer.
Modifications:
Limit the size of the allocated outbound buffer to MAX_ENCRYPTED_PACKET_LENGTH
Result:
Fixes [#6564]
Motivation:
The widely used SSL Implementation, OpenSSL, already supports Heartbeat Extension; both sending and responding to Heartbeat Messages. But, since Netty is not recognizing that extension as valid packet, peers won't be able to use this extension.
Modification:
Update SslUtils.java to recognize Heartbeat Extension as valid tls packet.
Result:
With this change, softwares using Netty + OpenSSL will be able to respond for TLS Heartbeat requests (actually taken care by OpenSSL - no need of any extra implementation from Clients)
Motivation:
ChunkedWriteHandler queues written messages and actually writes them
when flush is called. In its doFlush method, it needs to flush after
each chunk is written to preserve memory. However, non-chunked messages
(those that aren't of type ChunkedInput) are treated in the same way,
which means that flush is called after each message is written.
Modifications:
Moved the call to flush() inside the if block that tests if the message
is an instance of ChunkedInput. To ensure flush is called at least once,
the existing boolean flushed is checked at the end of doFlush. This
check was previously in ChunkedWriteHandler.flush(), but wasn't checked in
other invocations of doFlush, e.g. in channelInactive.
Result:
When this handler is present in a pipeline, writing a series
of non-chunked messages will be flushed as the developer intended.
Motivation:
Some pipelines require support for both SSL and non-SSL messaging.
Modifications:
Add utility decoder to support both SSL and non-SSL handlers based on the initial message.
Result:
Less boilerplate code to write for developers.
Motivation:
5e64985089 introduced support for the KeyManagerFactory while using OpenSSL. This same commit also introduced 2 calls to SSLContext.setVerify when 1 should be sufficient.
Modifications:
- Remove the duplicate call to SSLContext.setVerify
Result:
Less duplicate code in ReferenceCountedOpenSslServerContext.
Motivation:
SslContext and SslContextBuilder do not support a way to specify the desired TLS protocols. This currently requires that the user extracts the SSLEngine once a context is built and manually call SSLEngine#setEnabledProtocols(String[]). Something this critical should be supported at the SslContext level.
Modifications:
- SslContextBuilder should accept a list of protocols to configure for each SslEngine
Result:
SslContext consistently sets the supported TLS/SSL protocols.
Motivaiton:
It is possible that if the OpenSSL library supports the interfaces required to use the KeyManagerFactory, but we fail to get the io.netty.handler.ssl.openssl.useKeyManagerFactory system property (or this property is set to false) that SSLEngineTest based unit tests which use a KeyManagerFactory will fail.
Modifications:
- We should check if the OpenSSL library supports the KeyManagerFactory interfaces and if the system property allows them to be used in OpenSslEngineTests
Result:
Unit tests which use OpenSSL and KeyManagerFactory will be skipped instead of failing.
Motivation:
When we do a wrap operation we calculate the maximum size of the destination buffer ahead of time, and return a BUFFER_OVERFLOW exception if the destination buffer is not big enough. However if there is a CompositeByteBuf the wrap operation may consist of multiple ByteBuffers and each incurs its own overhead during the encryption. We currently don't account for the overhead required for encryption if there are multiple ByteBuffers and we assume the overhead will only apply once to the entire input size. If there is not enough room to write an entire encrypted packed into the BIO SSL_write will return -1 despite having actually written content to the BIO. We then attempt to retry the write with a bigger buffer, but because SSL_write is stateful the remaining bytes from the previous operation are put into the BIO. This results in sending the second half of the encrypted data being sent to the peer which is not of proper format and the peer will be confused and ultimately not get the expected data (which may result in a fatal error). In this case because SSL_write returns -1 we have no way to know how many bytes were actually consumed and so the best we can do is ensure that we always allocate a destination buffer with enough space so we are guaranteed to complete the write operation synchronously.
Modifications:
- SslHandler#allocateNetBuf should take into account how many ByteBuffers will be wrapped and apply the encryption overhead for each
- Include the TLS header length in the overhead computation
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6481
Motivation:
There are numerous usages of internalNioBuffer which hard code 0 for the index when the intention was to use the readerIndex().
Modifications:
- Remove hard coded 0 for the index and use readerIndex()
Result:
We are less susceptible to using the wrong index, and don't make assumptions about the ByteBufAllocator.
Motivation:
ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine#wrap must have a direct buffer for a destination to interact with JNI. If the user doesn't supply a direct buffer we internally allocate one to write the results of wrap into. After this operation completes we copy the contents of the direct buffer into the heap buffer and use internalNioBuffer to get the content. However we pass in the end index but the internalNioBuffer expects a length.
Modifications:
- pass the length instead of end index to internalNioBuffer
Result:
ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine#wrap will copy the correct amount of data into the destination buffer when heap buffers are wrapped.
Motivation:
SslContextBuilder sill state the KeyManagerFactory and TrustManagerFactory are only supported when SslProvider.JDK is used. This is not correct anymore.
Modifications:
Fix javadocs.
Result:
Correct javadocs.
Motivation:
SslContext#newHandler currently creates underlying SSLEngine without
enabling HTTPS endpointIdentificationAlgorithm. This behavior in
unsecured when used on the client side.
We can’t harden the behavior for now, as it would break existing
behavior, for example tests using self signed certificates.
Proper hardening will happen in a future major version when we can
break behavior.
Modifications:
Add javadoc warnings with code snippets.
Result:
Existing unsafe behavior and workaround documented.
Motivation:
Normally if a decoder produces an exception its wrapped with DecodingException. This is not the cause for NotSslRecordException in SslHandler and SniHandler.
Modifications:
Just throw the NotSslRecordException exception for decode(...) and so ensure its correctly wrapped in a DecodingException before its passed through the pipeline.
Result:
Consist behavior.
Motivation:
To ensure that all bytes queued in OpenSSL/tcnative internal buffers we invoke SSL_shutdown again to stimulate OpenSSL to write any pending bytes. If this call fails we may call SSL_free and the associated shutdown method to free resources. At this time we may attempt to use the networkBIO which has already been freed and get a NPE.
Modifications:
- Don't call bioLengthByteBuffer(networkBIO) if we have called shutdown() in ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6466
Motivation:
Realization of `AbstractTrafficShapingHandler.userDefinedWritabilityIndex()` has references to subclasses.
In addition, one of the subclasses overriding it, but the other does not.
Modifications:
Add overriding to the second subclass. Remove references to subclasses from parent class.
Result:
More consistent and clean code (OOP-stylish).
Motivation:
325cc84a2e introduced new tests which uses classes only provided by Java8+. We need to ensure we only try to load classes needed for these when we run the tests on Java8+ so we still can run the testsuite with Java7.
Modifications:
Add extra class which only gets loaded when Java8+ is used and move code there.
Result:
No more class-loader issue when running tests with Java7.
Motivation:
We not support all SSLParameters settings so we should better throw if a user try to use them.
Modifications:
- Check for unsupported parameters
- Add unit test
Result:
Less surprising behavior.
Motivation:
d8e6fbb9c3 attempted to account for the JDK not throwing the expected SSLHandshakeException by allowing a SSLException to also pass the test. However in some situations the SSLException will not be the top level exception and the Throwable must be unwrapped to see if the root cause is an SSLException.
Modifications:
- Unwrap exceptions thrown by the JDK's SSLEngine to check for SSLException.
Result:
SSLEngineTest (and derived classes) are more reliable.
Motivation:
As netty-tcnative can be build against different native libraries and versions we should log the used one.
Modifications:
Log the used native library after netty-tcnative was loaded.
Result:
Easier to understand what native SSL library was used.
Motivation:
OpenSSL doesn't automatically verify hostnames and requires extract method calls to enable this feature [1]. We should allow this to be configured.
Modifications:
- SSLParamaters#getEndpointIdentificationAlgorithm() should be respected and configured via tcnative interfaces.
Result:
OpenSslEngine respects hostname verification.
