Motivation:
OpenSsl used SelfSignedCertificate in its static init block to detect if KeyManagerFactory is supported. Unfortunally this only works when either sun.security.x509.* can be accessed or bouncycastle is on the classpath.
We should not depend on either of it.
This came up in https://github.com/netty/netty-tcnative/issues/404#issuecomment-431551890.
Modifications:
Just directly use the bytes to generate the X509Certificate and so not depend on sun.security.x509.* / bouncycastle.
Result:
Correctly be able to detect if KeyManagerFactory can be supported in all cases.
Motivation:
We had put some workaround in our tests due a bug in the Java11 implementation of TLSv1.3. This was now fixes as part of 11.0.1.
See https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8211067.
Modifications:
Remove workaround in SSL tests.
Result:
Run all tests with supported TLS version.
Motivation:
At the moment it's only possible to use TLSv1.3 with netty-tcnative if Java 11 is used. It should be possible to do so even with Java 8, 9 and 10.
Modification:
Add a workaround to be able to use TLSv1.3 also when using Java version prior to Java 11 and the default X509ExtendedTrustManager is used.
Result:
Be able to use TLSv1.3 also with past versions of Java.
Motivation:
When the constructor of OpenSslEngine threw we could end up to self call SSL_free by ourself and then have the finalizer do the same which may lead to double free-ing and so SIGSEV.
Modifications:
Just call shutdown() when the constructor throws and so ensure SSL_free is guarded correctly in the finalizer.
Result:
No more SIGSEV possible.
Motivation:
TLSv1.3 support is included in java11 and is also supported by OpenSSL 1.1.1, so we should support when possible.
Modifications:
- Add support for TLSv1.3 using either the JDK implementation or the native implementation provided by netty-tcnative when compiled against openssl 1.1.1
- Adjust unit tests for semantics provided by TLSv1.3
- Correctly handle custom Provider implementations that not support TLSv1.3
Result:
Be able to use TLSv1.3 with netty.
Motivation:
JdkSslContext provides public constructors to wrap an existing `javax.net.ssl.SSLContext`.
Sadly, some options combinations are not possible with the existing constructors, eg:
* protocols is not exposed and always forced to null, so default protocols are always enforced
* startTls is not exposed and always forced to false
Modification:
Add full constructor that take protocols and startTls parameters.
Result:
It's possible to create a JdkSslContext from an existing SSLContext and still have control over protocols and startTls
Motivation:
It is possible that a client is unable to locate a certificate alias given the list of issuers and key types. In this case the X509KeyManager
will return a null which when past to the OpenSslKeyMaterialProvider implementation may produce a NPE. If no matching alias could be found we should not
call OpenSslKeyMaterialProvider at all which is also consistent what OpenJDK does.
Modifications:
- Add null check before calling OpenSslKeyMaterialProvider
- Add unit test.
Result:
No more NPE caused by passing null as client alias.
Motivation:
Before when on server-side we just called the X509KeyManager methods when handshake() was called the first time which is not quite correct as we may not have received the full SSL hello / handshake and so could not extra for example the SNI hostname that was requested.
OpenSSL exposes the SSL_CTX_set_cert_cb function which allows to set a callback which is executed at the correct moment, so we should use it. This also allows us to support more methods of ExtendedSSLSession easily.
Modifications:
- Make use of new methods exposed by netty-tcnative since https://github.com/netty/netty-tcnative/pull/388 to ensure we select the key material at the correct time.
- Implement more methods of ExtendedOpenSslSession
- Add unit tests to ensure we are able to retrieve various things on server-side in the X509KeyManager and so verify it is called at the correct time.
- Simplify code by using new netty-tcnative methods.
Result:
More correct implementation for server-side usage and more complete implemented of ExtendedSSLSession.
Motivation:
a208f6dc7c added a testcase which uses hostname validation which may not be supported by OpenSSL depending on the version that is used. We should check first before we try to use it.
Modifications:
Add assumeTrue(...) check to ensure hostname validation is supported before trying to run the test.
Result:
No more test-failures on OpenSSL versions < 1.0.2.
Motivation:
When a X509TrustManager is used while configure the SslContext the JDK automatically does some extra checks during validation of provided certs by the remote peer. We should do the same when our native implementation is used.
Modification:
- Automatically wrap a X509TrustManager and so do the same validations as the JDK does.
- Add unit tests.
Result:
More consistent behaviour. Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6664.
Motivation:
4d1458604a did fix some leaks in SniClientTest but missed the ones in SniClientJava8TestUtil.
Modifications:
Correctly release SslContext.
Result:
No more leaks in SNI tests.
Motivation:
I noticed that we had some errors showing up in a test (which did not fail it tho) because we tried to full-fill the promise multiples times.
Modifications:
Use trySuccess(...) as we may produce multiple exceptions.
Result:
Less errors during test-run.
Motivation:
Java9 added getStatusResponses() to ExtendedSSLSession which we should correctly support when possible.
Modifications:
Implement the method correctly.
Result:
More complete and correct implementation.
Motivation:
6ed7c6c75d added support for ExtendedOpenSslSession but we did not override getStatusResponses(). This lead to test failures on java9.
Modifications:
Implement ExtendedOpenSslSession.getStatusResponses() so it just returns an empty list.
Result:
Test pass again on Java9.
Motivation:
6ed7c6c75d added a test which blindly assumed we can use a KeyManagerFactory all the time. This is only true if have OpenSSL 1.0.2 or later, which may not be the case.
Modifications:
Only use KeyManagerFactory in test if the OpenSSL version does support it.
Result:
More robust tests.
Motivation:
When an ExtendedSSLSession is used its possible to do more strict checking of the keys during handshake. We should do this whenever possible.
Modification:
- Return an ExtendedSSLSession when using client-mode and Java7+
- Add unit test
- Simplify unit tests
Result:
More consistent behaviour.
* PemPrivateKey.toPem(...) should throw IllegalArgumentException when PrivateKey which does not support encoding is used.
Motivation:
At the moment when a PrivateKey is used that does not support encoding we throw a NPE when trying to convert the key. We should better throw an IllegalArgumentException with the details about what key we tried to encode.
Modifications:
- Check if PrivateKey.getEncoded() returns null and if so throw an IllegalArgumentException
- Add unit test.
Result:
Better handling of non-supported PrivateKey implementations.
Motivation:
5aaa16b24c introduced a testcase for specific ciphersuites and checked if these are supported by our native implementation before running it. Unfortunally this is not good enough as even on the JDK it may not be supported on various JDK versions (like Java7). Beside this the test leaked buffers.
Modifications:
- Correctly check if ciphersuite is supported on each SslProvider before trying to run test.
- Fix buffer leaks.
Result:
Testsuite pass again on Java7 and others when -Pleak is used.
Motivation:
ea626ef8c3 added more debug logging but we can even include a bit more.
Modifications:
Always log the error number as well.
Result:
More informations for debugging SSL errors.
Motivation:
We should log a bit more details about why we shutdown the SSL.
Modifications:
Add the return value of SSL_get_error(...) as well in debug mode.
Result:
More logging to make it easier to understand why an SSL error happened.
Motivation
Ensure classes of cipher suites continue working between releases. Adding just a DHE check for now as it caused #8165 but this test can be expaned to other suites.
Modifications
Adding an unit test that checks for the presence of a cipher suite.
Result
Prevent #8165 from happening in the future.
Motivation:
OpenSSL itself has an abstraction which allows you to customize some things. For example it is possible to load the PrivateKey from the engine. We should support this.
Modifications:
Add two new static methods to OpenSslX509KeyManagerFactory which allow to create an OpenSslX509KeyManagerFactory that loads its PrivateKey via the OpenSSL Engine directly.
Result:
More flexible usage of OpenSSL possible
Motivation:
In OpenSslCertificateException we should ensure we try to load netty-tcnative before trying to use any class from it as otherwise it may throw an error due missing linking of the native libs.
Modifications:
- Ensure we call OpenSsl.isAvailable() before we try to use netty-tcnative for validation
- Add testcase.
Result:
No more errors causing by not loading native libs before trying to use these.
* Rename SslHandler.close(...) to closeOutbound(...) as it is still useful and delegate to the methods.
Motivation:
Sometimes the user may want to send a close_notify without closing the underlying Channel. For this we offered the SslHandler.close(...) methods which were marked as deeprecated. We should offer an way to still do this without the user calling deprecated methods.
See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51710231/using-nettys-sslhandlerclosechannelhandlercontext-channelpromise/51753742#comment90555949_51753742 .
Modifications:
- Remove deprecation of the SslHandler.close(...) method that exactly allows this and rename these to closeOutbound(...) as this is more clear.
- Add close(...) methods that delegate to these and mark these as deprecated.
Result:
Be able to send close_notify without closing the Channel.
Motivation:
When using the JDK SSL provider in client mode, the SNI host names (called serverNames in SslEngineImpl) is set to the peerHost (if available) that is used to initialize the SSL Engine:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/jdk/file/687fd7c7986d/src/share/classes/sun/security/ssl/SSLEngineImpl.java#l377
This allows one to call SslEngine.getSSLParameters() and inspect what is the SNI name to be sent. The same should be done in the OpenSSL provider as well. Currently even though the the SNI name is sent by the OpenSSL provider during handshake when the peerHost is specified, it is missing from the parameters.
Modification:
Set the sniHostNames field when SNI is to be used. Also verifies the peer is actually a hostname before setting it as the SNI name, which is consistent with JDK SSL provider's behavior.
Result:
SslEngine using the OpenSSL provider created in client mode with peerHost will initialize sniHostNames with the peerHost.
Calling SslEngine.getSSLParameters().getServerNames() will return a list that contains that name.
Motivation:
We missed to do a null check before trying to destroy the OpenSslSessionContext, which could lead to a NPE.
Modifications:
Add null check and tests.
Result:
Fix https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8170.
Motivation:
In some of our tests we not correctly init the SSLEngine before trying to perform a handshake which can cause an IllegalStateException. While this not happened in previous java releases it does now on Java11 (which is "ok" as its even mentioned in the api docs). Beside this how we selected the ciphersuite to test renegotation was not 100 % safe.
Modifications:
- Correctly init SSLEngine before using it
- Correctly select ciphersuite before testing for renegotation.
Result:
More correct tests and also pass on next java11 EA release.
Motivation:
We should allow to also validate sni hostname which contains for example underscore when using our native SSL impl. The JDK implementation does this as well.
Modifications:
- Construct the SNIHostName via byte[] and not String.
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8144.
Motivation:
a137291ad1 introduced a way to get the most speed out of OpenSSL by not only caching keymaterial but pre-compute these. The problem was we missed to check for null before doing an instanceof check and then a cast which could lead to a NPE as we tried to cast null to Exception and throw it.
Modifications:
Add null check and unit test.
Result:
No more NPE when keymaterial was not found for requested alias.
* Add OpenSslX509KeyManagerFactory which makes it even easier for people to get the maximum performance when using OpenSSL / LibreSSL / BoringSSL with netty.
Motivation:
To make it even easier for people to get the maximum performance when using native SSL we should provide our own KeyManagerFactory implementation that people can just use to configure their key material.
Modifications:
- Add OpenSslX509KeyManagerFactory which users can use for maximum performance with native SSL
- Refactor some internal code to re-use logic and not duplicate it.
Result:
Easier to get the max performance out of native SSL implementation.
Motivation:
As the used OpenSSL version may not support hostname validation we should only really call SSL.setHostNameValidation(...) if we detect that its needed.
Modifications:
Only call SSL.setHostNameValidation if it was disabled before and now it needs to be enabled or if it was enabled before and it should be disabled now.
Result:
Less risk of an exception when using an OpenSSL version that does not support hostname validation.
Motivation:
OpenSSL allows to use a custom engine for its cryptographic operations. We should allow the user to make use of it if needed.
See also: https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.0.2/crypto/engine.html.
Modifications:
Add new system property which can be used to specify the engine to use (null is the default and will use the build in default impl).
Result:
More flexible way of using OpenSSL.
Motiviation:
During profiling it showed that a lot of time during the handshake is spent by parsing the key / chain over and over again. We should cache these parsed structures if possible to reduce the overhead during handshake.
Modification:
- Use new APIs provided by https://github.com/netty/netty-tcnative/pull/360.
- Introduce OpensslStaticX509KeyManagerFactory which allows to wrap another KeyManagerFactory and caches the key material provided by it.
Result:
In benchmarks handshake times have improved by 30 %.
Motivation:
Some of the cipher protocol combos that were used are no longer included in more recent OpenSSL releases.
Modifications:
Remove some combos that were used for testing.
Result:
Tests also pass in more recent OpenSSL versions (1.1.0+).
Motivation
There is a cost to concatenating strings and calling methods that will be wasted if the Logger's level is not enabled.
Modifications
Check if Log level is enabled before producing log statement. These are just a few cases found by RegEx'ing in the code.
Result
Tiny bit more efficient code.
Motivation:
SslHandlerTest tried to get access to the SslHandler in the pipeline via pipeline.get(...) which may return null if the channel was already closed and so the pipeline was teared down.
This showed up in a test run as:
```

```
Modifications:
Use an AtomicReference to propagate the SslHandler instance to the outer scope.
Result:
No more NPE.
Motivation:
When we build the key-material we should use the ByteBufAllocator used by the ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine when possible.
Modifications:
Whenever we have access to the ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine we use its allocator.
Result:
Use correct allocator
Motivation:
We currently have only interopt tests for Conscrypt, we should also have non-interopt tests.
Modifications:
Add ConscryptSslEngineTest
Result:
More tests
