Motivation:
DnsNameResolver will return the domain / host name as ascii code using punycode (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3492). This is different to what the JDK does which always convert it to unicode. We should do the same by default but allow to also not do it.
Modifications:
- Add new builder method on DnsNameResolverBuilder which allow to disable / enable converting. Default is to convert just like the JDK does.
- Add unit tests for it.
Result:
DnsNameResolver and JDK impl behave the same way.
Motivation:
When An HTTP server is listening in plaintext mode, it doesn't have
a chance to negotiate "h2" in the tls handshake. HTTP 1 clients
that are not expecting an HTTP2 server will accidentally a request
that isn't an upgrade, which the HTTP/2 decoder will not
understand. The decoder treats the bytes as hex and adds them to
the error message.
These error messages are hard to understand by humans, and result
in extra, manual work to decode.
Modification:
If the first bytes of the request are not the preface, the decoder
will now see if they are an HTTP/1 request first. If so, the error
message will include the method and path of the original request in
the error message.
In case the path is long, the decoder will check up to the first
1024 bytes to see if it matches. This could be a DoS vector if
tons of bad requests or other garbage come in. A future optimization
would be to treat the first few bytes as an AsciiString and not do
any Charset decoding. ByteBuf.toCharSequence alludes to such an
optimization.
The code has been left simple for the time being.
Result:
Faster identification of errant HTTP requests.
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:
Disable ThreadLocal Cache, then allocate Pooled ByteBuf and release all these buffers, PoolArena's tiny/small/normal allocation count is incorrect.
Modifications:
- Calculate PoolArena's tiny/small/normal allocation one time
- Add testAllocationCounter TestCase
Result:
Fixes#6282 .
Motivation:
A testing goof in 7c630fe introduced a binary incompatibility when the old Promise-specific `add` and `addAll` methods in PromiseCombiner were generalized to accept `Futures`.
Modification:
- Restore (but mark as `@Deprecated`) old PromiseCombiner methods.
- Fixed a couple minor documentation typos because sure why not.
Result:
`PromiseCombiner` is binary-compatible with previous versions of Netty.
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:
2fd42cfc6b fixed a bug related to encoding headers but it also introduced a throws statement onto the Http2FrameWriter methods which write headers. This throws statement makes the API more verbose and is not necessary because we can communicate the failure in the ChannelFuture that is returned by these methods.
Modifications:
- Remove throws from all Http2FrameWriter methods.
Result:
Http2FrameWriter APIs do not propagate checked exceptions.
Motivation:
We should call Epoll.ensureAvailability() when init EpollEventLoopGroup to fail fast and with a proper exception.
Modifications:
Call Epoll.ensureAvailability() during EpollEventLoopGroup init.
Result:
Fail fast if epoll is not availability (for whatever reason).
Motivation:
In PooledByteBuf we missed to null out the chunk and tmpNioBuf fields before recycle it to the Recycler. This could lead to keep objects longer alive then necessary which may hold a lot of memory.
Modifications:
Null out tmpNioBuf and chunk before recycle.
Result:
Possible to earlier GC objects.
Motivation:
At rfc7540 5.5, it said that it's not permitted to send extension
frame in the middle of header block and need be treated as
protocol error
Modifications:
When received a extension frame, in netty it's called unknown frame,
will verify that is there an headersContinuation exists
Result:
When received a extension frame in the middle of header block,
will throw connection error and closed the connection
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:
We need to update jetty-alpn-agent to support latest JDK releases.
Modifications:
Update jetty-alpn-agent to 2.0.6
Result:
Be able to run tests with latest JDK releases.
Motivation:
HttpUtil.setTransferEncodingChunked could add a second Transfer-Encoding
header if one was already present. While this is technically valid, it
does not appear to be the intent of the method.
Result:
Only one Transfer-Encoding header is present after calling this method.
Motivation:
When an empty hostname is used in DnsNameResolver.resolve*(...) it will never notify the future / promise. The root cause is that we not correctly guard against errors of IDN.toASCII(...) which will throw an IllegalArgumentException when it can not parse its input. That said we should also handle an empty hostname the same way as the JDK does and just use "localhost" when this happens.
Modifications:
- If the try to resolve an empty hostname we use localhost
- Correctly guard against errors raised by IDN.toASCII(...) so we will always noify the future / promise
- Add unit test.
Result:
DnsNameResolver.resolve*(...) will always notify the future.
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.
This prevents us from having the first request, that hasn't ack'ed the setting causing a GOAWAY when we'd would
be under the maxHeaderListSizeGoAway that would have been set after the settings ack.
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:
If the HPACK Decoder detects that SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE has been violated it aborts immediately and sends a RST_STREAM frame for what ever stream caused the issue. Because HPACK is stateful this means that the HPACK state may become out of sync between peers, and the issue won't be detected until the next headers frame. We should make a best effort to keep processing to keep the HPACK state in sync with our peer, or completely close the connection.
If the HPACK Encoder is configured to verify SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE it checks the limit and encodes at the same time. This may result in modifying the HPACK local state but not sending the headers to the peer if SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE is violated. This will also lead to an inconsistency in HPACK state that will be flagged at some later time.
Modifications:
- HPACK Decoder now has 2 levels of limits related to SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE. The first will attempt to keep processing data and send a RST_STREAM after all data is processed. The second will send a GO_AWAY and close the entire connection.
- When the HPACK Encoder enforces SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE it should not modify the HPACK state until the size has been checked.
- https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-6.5.2 states that the initial value of SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE is "unlimited". We currently use 8k as a limit. We should honor the specifications default value so we don't unintentionally close a connection before the remote peer is aware of the local settings.
- Remove unnecessary object allocation in DefaultHttp2HeadersDecoder and DefaultHttp2HeadersEncoder.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6209.
Motivation:
When we follow CNAME records we should respect resolvedAddressTypes and only query A / AAAA depending on which address types are expected.
Modifications:
Check if we should query A / AAAA when follow CNAMEs depending on resolvedAddressTypes.
Result:
Correct behaviour when follow CNAMEs.
Motivation:
Replacing System.err during Slf4JLoggerFactory construction is problematic as another class may optain the System.err reference before we set it back to the original value.
Modifications:
Remove code that temporary replaced System.err.
Result:
Fixes [#6212].
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:
Pattern matching not necessary for number parsing.
Modification:
Removed pattern matching for number parsing and removed unnecessary toLowerCase() operation.
Result:
No static variable with pattern, removed unnecessary matching operation and toLowerCase() operation.
Motivation:
We not warned about not-supported ChannelOptions when set the options for the ServerChannel.
Modifications:
- Share code for setting ChannelOptions during bootstrap
Result:
Warning is logged when a ChannelOption is used that is not supported during bootstrap a Channel. See also [#6192]
Motivation:
PlatformDependent* contains some methods that are not used and some other things that can be cleaned-up.
Modifications:
- Remove unused methods
- cleanup
Result:
Code cleanup.
Motivation:
We miss checking if DnsCache is null in DnsNameResolver constructor which will later then lead to a NPE. Better fail fast here.
Modifications:
Check for null and if so throw a NPE.
Result:
Fail fast.
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 BŷteBuffer 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:
- Decoder#decodeULE128 has a bounds bug and cannot decode Integer.MAX_VALUE
- Decoder#decodeULE128 doesn't support values greater than can be represented with Java's int data type. This is a problem because there are cases that require at least unsigned 32 bits (max header table size).
- Decoder#decodeULE128 treats overflowing the data type and invalid input the same. This can be misleading when inspecting the error that is thrown.
- Encoder#encodeInteger doesn't support values greater than can be represented with Java's int data type. This is a problem because there are cases that require at least unsigned 32 bits (max header table size).
Modifications:
- Correct the above issues and add unit tests.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6210.
Motivation:
LZ4FrameEncoder maintains an internal buffer of incoming data compress, and only writes out compressed data when a size threshold is reached. LZ4FrameEncoder does not override the flush() method, and thus the only way to flush data down the pipeline is via more data or close the channel.
Modifications:
Override the flush() function to flush on demand. Also overrode the allocateBuffer() function so we can more accurately size the output buffer (instead of needing to potatntially realloc via buffer.ensureWritable()).
Result:
Implementation works as described.
Motivation:
Build failures have been observed with 2 second timeouts on the CI servers. We should make the timeouts longer to reduce false positive test failures due to tests timing out prematurely.
Modifications:
- Increase timeouts from 2 and 3 seconds to 5 seconds.
Result:
Less false positive test failures.
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.
