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.

Modifications
https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.0.2/ssl/SSL_set_tlsext_status_type.html
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.
[1] https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Hostname_validation
Motivation:
ThreadLocalInsecureRandom still referenced ThreadLocalRandom directly, but shouldn't.
Modifications:
ThreadLocalInsecureRandom should reference PlatformDependent#threadLocalRandom() in comments
Result:
Less usage of internal.ThreadLocalRandom.
Motivation:
We have our own ThreadLocalRandom implementation to support older JDKs . That said we should prefer the JDK provided when running on JDK >= 7
Modification:
Using ThreadLocalRandom implementation of the JDK when possible.
Result:
Make use of JDK implementations when possible.
Motivation:
Commit cd3bf3df58 made netty observe the latest version of netty-tcnative which changed the way how static fields are computed for various SSL.* values. This lead to have SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 become 0 when using boringssl as boringssl not supports SSLv2 at all. In the logic of ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine.getEnabledProtocols() we not expect to have a zero value and so our logic fails.
Modifications:
Check we actual support the protocol before return it as enabled.
Result:
SSLEngineTest.testEnablingAnAlreadyDisabledSslProtocol passes again with boringssl
Motivation:
If an event occurs which generates non-application data (shutdown, handshake failure, alert generation, etc...) and the non-application buffer in the ByteBuffer BIO is full (or sufficiently small) we may not propagate all data to our peer before tearing down the socket.
Modifications:
- when wrap() detects the outbound is closed, but there is more data pending in the non-application buffers, we must also check if OpenSSL will generate more data from calling SSL_shutdown again
- when wrap() detects a handshakeExcpetion during failure we should check if OpenSSL has any pending data (in addition to the non-application buff) before throwing the handshake exception
Result:
OpenSslEngine more reliably transmits data to the peer before closing the socket.
Motivation:
JdkOpenSslEngineInteroptTest.mySetupMutualAuthServerIsValidClientException(...) delegated to the wrong super method.
Modifications:
Fix delegate
Result:
Correct test-code.
Motivation:
Some version of openssl dont support the needed APIs to use a KeyManagerFactory. In this case we should skip the tests.
Modifications:
- Use assumeTrue(...) to skip tests that need a KeyManagerFactory and its not supported.
Result:
Tests pass on all openssl versions we support.
Motivation:
tcnative was moved into an internal package.
Modifications:
Update package for tcnative imports.
Result:
Use correct package names for tcnative.
Motivation:
We need to pass special arguments to run with jdk9 as otherwise some tests will not be able to run.
Modifications:
Allow to define extra arguments when running with jdk9
Result:
Tests pass with jdk9
Motivation:
If the OpenSslEngine has bytes pending in the non-application buffer and also generates wrapped data during the handshake then the handshake data will be missed. This will lead to a handshake stall and eventually timeout. This can occur if the non-application buffer becomes full due to a large certificate/hello message.
Modification:
- ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine should not assume if no data is flushed from the non-application buffer that no data will be produced by the handshake.
Result:
New unit tests with larger certificate chains don't fail.
Motivation:
OpenSslEngineTest has unused imports and SSLEngineTest uses a fixed port which was used for debugging.
Modifications:
- Remove unused imports
- Use ephemeral port
Result:
Cleaner test code.
Modifications:
tcnative made some fixes and API changes related to setVerify. We should absorb these changes in Netty.
Modifications:
- Use tcnatives updated APIs
- Add unit tests to demonstrate correct behavior
Result:
Updated to latest tcnative code and more unit tests to verify expected behavior.
Motivation:
tcnative has updated how constants are defined and removed some constants which are either obsolete or now set directly in tcnative.
Modifications:
- update to compile against tcnative changes.
Result:
Netty compiles with tcnative options changes.
Motivation:
We should remove the restriction to only allow to call unwrap with a ByteBuffer[] whose cumulative length exceeds MAX_ENCRYPTED_PACKET_LENGTH.
Modifications:
Remove guard.
Result:
Fixes [#6335].
Motivation:
There were some warnings for the code in the ssl package.
Modifications:
- Remove not needed else blocks
- Use correctly base class for static usage
- Replace String.length() == 0 with String.isEmpty()
- Remove unused code
Result:
Less warnings and cleaner code.
Motivation:
CipherSuiteConverter may throw a NPE if a cipher suite from OpenSSL does not match the precomputed regular expression for OpenSSL ciphers. This method shouldn't throw and instead just return null.
Modifications:
- if cacheFromOpenSsl(..) fails the conversion toJava should return null
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6336.
Motivation:
Currently Netty utilizes BIO_new_bio_pair so we can control all FD lifetime and event notification but delegates to OpenSSL for encryption/decryption. The current implementation sets up a pair of BIO buffers to read/write encrypted/plaintext data. This approach requires copying of data from Java ByteBuffers to native memory BIO buffers, and also requires both BIO buffers to be sufficiently large to hold application data. If direct ByteBuffers are used we can avoid coyping to/from the intermediate BIO buffer and just read/write directly from the direct ByteBuffer memory. We still need an internal buffer because OpenSSL may generate write data as a result of read calls (e.g. handshake, alerts, renegotiation, etc..), but this buffer doesn't have to be be large enough to hold application data.
Modifications:
- Take advantage of the new ByteBuffer based BIO provided by netty-tcnative instead of using BIO_read and BIO_write.
Result:
Less copying and lower memory footprint requirement per TLS connection.
Motivation:
The SSLEngine wrap and unwrap methods can be called in a way that has no side effects, but this could involve costly validation and allocation. The SslHandler should avoid calling into these methods if possible.
Modifications:
- wrapNonAppData should provide additional status which can be used by wrap to breakout early if possible
Result:
SslHandler invokes the SSLEngine less.
Motivation:
We used various mocking frameworks. We should only use one...
Modifications:
Make usage of mocking framework consistent by only using Mockito.
Result:
Less dependencies and more consistent mocking usage.
Motiviation:
We should ensure we not need any extra wrap / unwrap calls during handshake once the handshake was signaled as finished
Modifications:
More strict testing
Result:
Better testing of handshake behaviour
Motivation:
Previous versions of netty-tcnative used the org.apache.tomcat namespace which could lead to problems when a user tried to use tomcat and netty in the same app.
Modifications:
Use netty-tcnative which now uses a different namespace and adjust code to some API changes.
Result:
Its now possible to use netty-tcnative even when running together with tomcat.
Motivation:
Tests were added in 91f050d2ef to run with different protocols / ciphers. These may fail currently when openssl was compiled without support for the protocol / ciphers.
Modifications:
- Refactor tests to easier understand for which protocol / cipher it failed
- Not fail the test if the protocol is not supported with the used openssl version.
Result:
More robust testing.
Motivation:
We failed to properly test if a protocol is supported on an OpenSSL installation and just always returned all protocols.
Modifications:
- Detect which protocols are supported on a platform.
- Skip protocols in tests when not supported. This fixes a build error on some platforms introduced by [#6276].
Result:
Correctly return only the supported protocols
Motivation:
We used ca 2k as maximum overhead for encrypted packets which is a lot more then what is needed in reality by OpenSSL. This could lead to the need of more memory.
Modification:
- Use a lower overhead of 86 bytes as defined by the spec and openssl itself
- Fix unit test to use the correct session to calculate needed buffer size
Result:
Less memory usage.
Motivation:
We should test that we correctly return BUFFER_UNDERFLOW if the src buffer not contains enough data to unwrap it.
Modification:
Add unit test to verify behaviour.
Result:
Better test coverrage of SSLEngine implementations.
Motivation:
SslHandler closed the channel as soon as it was able to write out the close_notify message. This may not be what the user want as it may make sense to only close it after the actual response to the close_notify was received in order to guarantee a clean-shutdown of the connection in all cases.
Beside this closeNotifyFlushTimeoutMillis is volatile so may change between two reads. We need to cache it in a local variable to ensure it not change int between. Beside this we also need to check if the flush promise was complete the schedule timeout as this may happened but we were not able to cancel the timeout yet. Otherwise we will produce an missleading log message.
Modifications:
- Add new setter / getter to SslHandler which allows to specify the behavior (old behavior is preserved as default)
- Added unit test.
- Cache volatile closeNotifyTimeoutMillis.
- Correctly check if flush promise was complete before we try to forcibly close the Channel and log a warning.
- Add missing javadocs.
Result:
More clean shutdown of connection possible when using SSL and fix racy way of schedule close_notify flush timeouts and javadocs.
Motivation:
PR [#6238] added guards to be able to call wrap(...) / unwrap(...) after the engine was shutdown. Unfortunally one case was missed which is when closeOutbound() was called and produced some data while closeInbound() was not called yet.
Modifications:
Correctly guard against SSLException when closeOutbound() was called, produced data and someone calls wrap(...) after it.
Result:
No more SSLException. Fixes [#6260].
Motivation:
SslHandler has multiple methods which have better replacements now or are obsolete. We should mark these as `@Deprecated`.
Modifications:
Mark methods as deprecated.
Result:
API cleanup preparation.
Motivation:
In commit fc3c9c9523 I changes the way how we calculate the capacity of the needed ByteBuf for wrap operations that happen during writes when the SslHandler is used. This had the effect that the same capacity for ByteBufs is needed for the JDK implementation of SSLEngine but also for our SSLEngine implementation that uses OpenSSL / BoringSSL / LibreSSL. Unfortunally this had the side-effect that applications that used our SSLEngine implementation now need a lot more memory as bascially the JDK implementation always needs a 16kb buffer for each wrap while we can do a lot better for our SSLEngine implementation.
Modification:
- Resurrect code that calculate a better ByteBuf capacity when using our SSLEngine implementation and so be able to safe a lot of memory
- Add test-case to ensure it works as expected and is not removed again later on.
Result:
Memory footprint of applications that uses our SSLEngine implementation based on OpenSSL / BoringSSL / LibreSSL is back to the same amount of before commit fc3c9c9523.
Motivation:
Currently Netty does not wrap socket connect, bind, or accept
operations in doPrivileged blocks. Nor does it wrap cases where a dns
lookup might happen.
This prevents an application utilizing the SecurityManager from
isolating SocketPermissions to Netty.
Modifications:
I have introduced a class (SocketUtils) that wraps operations
requiring SocketPermissions in doPrivileged blocks.
Result:
A user of Netty can grant SocketPermissions explicitly to the Netty
jar, without granting it to the rest of their application.
Motivation:
As we use different execution path in our SSLEngine implementation depending on if heap, direct or mixed buffers are used we should run the tests with all of them.
Modification:
Ensure we run all tests with different buffer types.
Result:
Better test-coverage
Motivation:
For the completion of a handshake we already fire a SslHandshakeCompletionEvent which the user can intercept. We should do the same for the receiving of close_notify.
Modifications:
Add SslCloseCompletionEvent and test-case.
Result:
More consistent API.
Motivation:
https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/6042 only addressed PlatformDependent#getSystemClassLoader but getClassLoader is also called in an optional manner in some common code paths but fails to catch a general enough exception to continue working.
Modifications:
- Calls to getClassLoader which can continue if results fail should catch Throwable
Result:
More resilient code in the presense of restrictive class loaders.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6246.
Motivation:
The SslHandler.sslCloseFuture() may not be notified when the Channel is closed before a closify_notify is received.
Modifications:
Ensure we try to fail the sslCloseFuture() when the Channel is closed.
Result:
Correctly notify the ssl close future.
Motivation:
The JDK implementation of SSLEngine allows to have unwrap(...) / wrap(...) called even after closeInbound() and closeOutbound() were called. We need to support the same in ReferenceCountedSslEngine.
Modification:
- Allow calling ReferenceCountedSslEngine.unwrap(...) / wrap(...) after the engine was closed
- Modify unit test to ensure correct behaviour.
Result:
Implementation works as expected.
Motivation:
fc3c9c9523 introduced a bug which will have ReferenceCountedSslEngine.unwrap(...) produce an IOOBE when be called with an BÅ·teBuffer as src that contains multiple SSLRecords and has a position != 0.
Modification:
- Correctly set the limit on the ByteBuffer and so fix the IOOBE.
- Add test-case to verify the fix
Result:
Correctly handle heap buffers as well.
Motivation:
Openssl provider should behave same as JDK provider when mutual authentication is required and a specific set of trusted Certificate Authorities are specified. The SSL handshake should return back to the connected peer the same list of configured Certificate Authorities.
Modifications:
Correctly set the CA list.
Result:
Correct and same behaviour as the JDK implementation.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we not swallow the close_notify that should be send back to the remote peer. See [#6167]
Modifications:
- Only call shutdown() in closeInbound() if there is nothing pending that should be send back to the remote peer.
- Return the correct HandshakeStatus when the close_notify was received.
- Only shutdown() when close_notify was received after closeOutbound() was called.
Result:
close_notify is correctly send back to the remote peer and handled when received.
Motivation
The IdleStateHandler tracks write() idleness on message granularity but does not take into consideration that the client may be just slow and has managed to consume a subset of the message's bytes in the configured period of time.
Modifications
Adding an optional configuration parameter to IdleStateHandler which tells it to observe ChannelOutboundBuffer's state.
Result
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6150
Motivation:
Our ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine does not support compression so we should explicit disable it.
This is related to #3722.
Modifications:
Set SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION option.
Result:
Not use compression.
Motivation:
In later Java8 versions our Atomic*FieldUpdater are slower then the JDK implementations so we should not use ours anymore. Even worse the JDK implementations provide for example an optimized version of addAndGet(...) using intrinsics which makes it a lot faster for this use-case.
Modifications:
- Remove methods that return our own Atomic*FieldUpdaters.
- Use the JDK implementations everywhere.
Result:
Faster code.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we handle the case when BUFFER_OVERFLOW happens during unwrap but the readable bytes are bigger then the expected applicationBufferSize. Otherwise we may produce an IllegalArgumentException as we will try to allocate a buffer with capacity < 0.
Modifications:
- Guard against this case.
- Ensure we not double release buffer on exception when doing unwrap.
Result:
No more exception when running testsuite with java 9.
Motivation:
boringssl uses different messages for the ssl alerts which are all uppercase. As we try to match case as well this fails in SSLErrorTest as we expect lower-case.
This test was introduced by 9b7fb2f362.
Modifications:
Ensure we first translate everything to lower-case before doing the assert.
Result:
SSLErrorTest also pass when boringssl is used.
Motivation:
We need to ensure the tracked object can not be GC'ed before ResourceLeak.close() is called as otherwise we may get false-positives reported by the ResourceLeakDetector. This can happen as the JIT / GC may be able to figure out that we do not need the tracked object anymore and so already enqueue it for collection before we actually get a chance to close the enclosing ResourceLeak.
Modifications:
- Add ResourceLeakTracker and deprecate the old ResourceLeak
- Fix some javadocs to correctly release buffers.
- Add a unit test for ResourceLeakDetector that shows that ResourceLeakTracker has not the problems.
Result:
No more false-positives reported by ResourceLeakDetector when ResourceLeakDetector.track(...) is used.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we not call handshake() when the engine is already closed. Beside this our implementation of isOutboundDone() was not correct as it not took the pending data in the outbound buffer into acount (which may be also generated as part of an ssl alert). Beside this we also called SSL_shutdown(...) while we were still in init state which will produce an error and so noise in the log with openssl later versions.
This is also in some extend related to #5931 .
Modifications:
- Ensure we not call handshake() when already closed
- Correctly implement isOutboundDone()
- Not call SSL_shutdown(...) when still in init state
- Added test-cases
Result:
More correct behaviour of our openssl SSLEngine implementation.
Motivation:
When non SSL data is passed into SSLEngine.unwrap(...) we need to throw an SSLException. This was not done at the moment. Even worse we threw an IllegalArgumentException as we tried to allocate a direct buffer with capacity of -1.
Modifications:
- Guard against non SSL data and added an unit test.
- Make code more consistent
Result:
Correct behaving SSLEngine implementation.
Motivation:
Java9 will be released soon so we should ensure we can compile netty with Java9 and run all our tests. This will help to make sure Netty will be usable with Java9.
Modification:
- Add some workarounds to be able to compile with Java9, note that the full profile is not supported with Java9 atm.
- Remove some usage of internal APIs to be able to compile on java9
- Not support Alpn / Npn and so not run the tests when using Java9 for now. We will do a follow up PR to add support.
Result:
Its possible to build netty and run its testsuite with Java9.
Motivation:
It's important that we do not pass in the original ChannelPromise to safeClose(...) as when flush(...) will throw an Exception it will be propagated to the AbstractChannelHandlerContext which will try to fail the promise because of this. This will then fail as it was already completed by safeClose(...).
Modifications:
Create a new ChannelPromise and pass it to safeClose(...).
Result:
No more confusing logs because of failing to fail the promise.
Motivation:
We are now more careful to flush alerts that are generated when errors occur. We should also be more careful in unit tests to release any buffers that may be queued due to potential errors wich result in alerts.
Modifications:
- When SslHandlerTest uses EmbeddedChannel we should always call finishAndReleaseAll
Results:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6057
Motivation:
When the SslHandler.unwrap(...) (which is called via decode(...)) method did produce an SSLException it was possible that the produced alert was not send to the remote peer. This could lead to staling connections if the remote peer did wait for such an alert and the connection was not closed.
Modifications:
- Ensure we try to flush any pending data when a SSLException is thrown during unwrapping.
- Fix SniHandlerTest to correct test this
- Add explicit new test in SslHandlerTest to verify behaviour with all SslProviders.
Result:
The alert is correctly send to the remote peer in all cases.
Motivation:
We tried to detect the correct alert to use depending on the CertificateException that is thrown by the TrustManager. This not worked all the time as depending on the TrustManager implementation it may also wrap a CertPathValidatorException.
Modification:
- Try to unwrap the CertificateException if needed and detect the right alert via the CertPathValidatorException.
- Add unit to verify
Result:
Send the correct alert depending on the CertificateException when using OpenSslEngine.
Motiviation:
We used ReferenceCountUtil.releaseLater(...) in our tests which simplifies a bit the releasing of ReferenceCounted objects. The problem with this is that while it simplifies stuff it increase memory usage a lot as memory may not be freed up in a timely manner.
Modifications:
- Deprecate releaseLater(...)
- Remove usage of releaseLater(...) in tests.
Result:
Less memory needed to build netty while running the tests.
Motivation:
In preparation for support of Conscrypt, I'm consolidating all of the engine-specific details so that it's easier to add new engine types that affect the behavior of SslHandler.
Modifications:
Added an enum SslEngineType that provides SSL engine-specific details.
Result:
SslHandler is more extensible for other engine types.
Motivation:
The SniHandlerTest.testServerNameParsing did fail when SslProvider.JDK was used as it the JDK SSLEngineImpl does not send an alert.
Modifications:
Ensure tests pass with JDK and OPENSSL ssl implementations.
Result:
SniHandlerTest will run with all SslProvider and not fail when SslProvider.JDK is used.
Motiviation:
We need to ensure we only consume as much da as we can maximal put in one ssl record to not produce a BUFFER_OVERFLOW when calling wrap(...).
Modification:
- Limit the amount of data that we consume based on the maximal plain text size that can be put in one ssl record
- Add testcase to verify the fix
- Tighten up testcases to ensure the amount of produced and consumed data in SslEngineResult matches the buffers. If not the tests will fail now.
Result:
Correct and conform behavior of OpenSslEngine.wrap(...) and better test coverage during handshaking in general.
Motivation:
Netty provides a adaptor from ByteBuf to Java's InputStream interface. The JDK Stream interfaces have an explicit lifetime because they implement the Closable interface. This lifetime may be differnt than the ByteBuf which is wrapped, and controlled by the interface which accepts the JDK Stream. However Netty's ByteBufInputStream currently does not take reference count ownership of the underlying ByteBuf. There may be no way for existing classes which only accept the InputStream interface to communicate when they are done with the stream, other than calling close(). This means that when the stream is closed it may be appropriate to release the underlying ByteBuf, as the ownership of the underlying ByteBuf resource may be transferred to the Java Stream.
Motivation:
- ByteBufInputStream.close() supports taking reference count ownership of the underyling ByteBuf
Result:
ByteBufInputStream can assume reference count ownership so the underlying ByteBuf can be cleaned up when the stream is closed.
Motivation:
OpenSslEngine.wrap(...) and OpenSslEngie.unwrap(...) may consume bytes even if an BUFFER_OVERFLOW / BUFFER_UNDERFLOW is detected. This is not correct as it should only consume bytes if it can process them without storing data between unwrap(...) / wrap(...) calls. Beside this it also should only process one record at a time.
Modifications:
- Correctly detect BUFFER_OVERFLOW / BUFFER_UNDERFLOW and only consume bytes if non of them is detected.
- Only process one record per call.
Result:
OpenSslEngine behaves like stated in the javadocs of SSLEngine.
