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].
