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.
https://github.com/netty/netty-tcnative/pull/215
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 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:
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.
Motivation:
We should not use the InternalThreadLocalMap where access may be done from outside the EventLoop as this may create a lot of memory usage while not be reused anyway.
Modifications:
Not use InternalThreadLocalMap in places where the code-path will likely be executed from outside the EventLoop.
Result:
Less memory bloat.
Motivation:
Since Java 7, X509TrustManager implementation is wrapped by a JDK class
called AbstractTrustManagerWrapper, which performs an additional
certificate validation for Socket or SSLEngine-backed connections.
This makes the TrustManager implementations provided by
InsecureTrustManagerFactory and FingerprintTrustManagerFactory not
insecure enough, where their certificate validation fails even when it
should pass.
Modifications:
- Add X509TrustManagerWrapper which adapts an X509TrustManager into an
X509ExtendedTrustManager
- Make SimpleTrustManagerFactory wrap an X509TrustManager with
X509TrustManagerWrapper is the provided TrustManager does not extend
X509ExtendedTrustManager
Result:
- InsecureTrustManagerFactory and FingerprintTrustManagerFactory are now
insecure as expected.
- Fixes#5910
Motivation:
Our default cipher list has not been updated in a while. We current support some older ciphers not commonly in use and we don't support some newer ciphers which are more commonly used.
Modifications:
- Update the default list of ciphers for JDK and OpenSSL.
Result:
Default cipher list is more likely to connect to peers.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5859
Motivation:
If the user removes the SslHandler while still in the processing loop we will produce an IllegalReferenceCountException. We should stop looping when the handlerwas removed.
Modifications:
Ensure we stop looping when the handler is removed.
Result:
No more IllegalReferenceCountException.
Motivation:
Add test-case for doing mutal auth with a certificate chain that holds more then one certificate.
Modifications:
Add test case
Result:
more tests.
Motivation:
the build doesnt seem to enforce this, so they piled up
Modifications:
removed unused import lines
Result:
less unused imports
Signed-off-by: radai-rosenblatt <radai.rosenblatt@gmail.com>
Motivation:
Currently FlushConsolidationHandler only consolidates if a read loop is
active for a Channel, otherwise each writeAndFlush(...) call will still
be flushed individually. When these calls are close enough, it can be
beneficial to consolidate them even outside of a read loop.
Modifications:
When we allow a flush to "go through", don't perform it immediately, but
submit it on the channel's executor. Under high pressure, this gives
other writes a chance to enqueue before the task gets executed, and so
we flush multiple writes at once.
Result:
Lower CPU usage and less context switching.
Motivation
Give the user the ability to back out from SNI negoations.
Modifications
Put a try-catch around the select() call and re-fire any caught Exceptions.
Result
Fixes#5787
Motivation:
IdleStateHandler has a number of volatile member variables which are only accessed from the EventLoop thread. These do not have to be volatile. The accessibility of these member variables are not consistent between private and package private. The state variable can also use a byte instead of an int.
Modifications:
- Remove volatile from member variables
- Change access to private for member variables
- Change state from int to byte
Result:
IdleStateHandler member variables cleaned up.
Motivation:
IdleStateHandler and ReadTimeoutHandler could mistakely not fire an event even if no channelRead(...) call happened.
Modifications:
Only set lastReadTime if a read happened before.
Result:
More correct IdleStateHandler / ReadTimeoutHandler.
Motivation:
There is an incoherence in terms of API when one wants to use
startTls: without startTls one can use the SslContextBuilder's
method newHandler, but with startTls, the developper is forced
to call directly the SslHandler constructor.
Modifications:
Introduce startTls as a SslContextBuilder parameter as well as a
member in SslContext (and thus Jdk and OpenSsl implementations!).
Always use this information to call the SslHandler constructor.
Use false by default, in particular in deprecated constructors of
the SSL implementations.
The client Context use false by default
Results:
Fixes#5170 and more generally homogenise the API so that
everything can be done via SslContextBuilder.
Motivation
I'm looking to harden our SSL impl. a little bit and add some guards agaist certain types of abuse. One can think of invalid hostname strings in the SNI extenstion or invalid SNI handshakes altogether. This will require measuring, velocity tracking and other things.
Modifications
Adding a protected `lookup(ctx, hostname)` method that is called from SniHandler's `select(...)` method which users can override and implement custom behaviour. The default implementation will simply call the AsyncMapper.
Result
It's possible to get a hold onto the ChannelHandlerContext. Users can override that method and do something with it right there or they can delegate it to something else. SniHandler is happy as long as a `Future<SslContext>` is being returned.
Motivation:
af632278d2 introduced a test which only worked on some jvm versions and specific os'es.
Modifications:
Fix test to work on different java versions and os'es
Result:
No flacky test.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we not set duplicated certificates when using OpenSslEngine.
Modifications:
- Skip first cert in chain when set the chain itself and so not send duplicated certificates
- Add interopt unit tests to ensure no duplicates are send.
Result:
No more duplicates.
Motivation:
AbstractTrafficShapingHandler has a package-private method called "userDefinedWritabilityIndex()" which a user may need to override if two sub-classes wants to be used in the ChannelPipeline.
Modifications:
Mark method protected.
Result:
Easier to extend AbstractTrafficShapingHandler.
Motivation:
SslHandler can be cleaned up a bit in terms of naming and duplicated code.
Modifications:
- Fix naming of arguments
- Not schedule timeout event if not really needed
- share some code and simplify
Result:
Cleaner code.
Motivation:
When a SecurityManager is in place it may dissallow accessing the property which will lead to not be able to load the application.
Modifications:
Use AccessController.doPrivileged(...)
Result:
No more problems with SecurityManager.
Motivation
The SniHandler is currently hiding its replaceHandler() method and everything that comes with it. The user has no easy way of getting a hold onto the SslContext for the purpose of reference counting for example. The SniHandler does have getter methods for the SslContext and hostname but they're not very practical or useful. For one the SniHandler will remove itself from the pipeline and we'd have to track a reference of it externally and as we saw in #5745 it'll possibly leave its internal "selection" object with the "EMPTY_SELECTION" value (i.e. we've just lost track of the SslContext).
Modifications
Expose replaceHandler() and allow the user to override it and get a hold onto the hostname, SslContext and SslHandler that will replace the SniHandler.
Result
It's possible to get a hold onto the SslContext, the hostname and the SslHandler that is about to replace the SniHandler. Users can add additional behavior.
Motiviation:
Previously the way how CertificateRequestCallback was working had some issues which could cause memory leaks and segfaults. Due of this tcnative code was updated to change the signature of the method provided by the interface.
Modifications:
Update CertificateRequestCallback implementations to match new interface signature.
Result:
No more segfaults / memory leaks when using boringssl or openssl >= 1.1.0
Motivation
SslHandler's handlerRemoved() is supposed to release the SSLEngine (which it does) but there is no Test for it to make sure it really happens and doesn't unexpectedly change in the future.
Modifications
Add a Unit Test that makes sure that SslHandler releases the SSLEngine when the Channel gets closed.
Result
Assurance that SslHandler will not leak (ReferenceCounted) SSLEngines.
Motivation:
The SniHandler attempts to generate a new SslHandler from the selected SslContext in a and insert that SslHandler into the pipeline. However if the underlying channel has been closed or the pipeline has been modified the pipeline.replace(..) operation may fail. Creating the SslHandler may also create a SSLEngine which is of type ReferenceCounted. The SslHandler states that if it is not inserted into a pipeline that it will not take reference count ownership of the SSLEngine. Under these conditions we will leak the SSLEngine if it is reference counted.
Modifications:
- If the pipeline.replace(..) operation fails we should release the SSLEngine object.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5678
Motivation:
When SslHandler.close(...) is called (as part of Channel.close()). it will also try to flush pending messages. This may fail for various reasons, but we still should propergate the close operation
Modifications:
- Ensure flush(...) itself will not throw an Exception if we was able to at least fail one pending promise (which should always be the case).
- If flush(...) fails as part of close ensure we still close the channel and then rethrow.
Result:
No more lost close operations possible if an exception is thrown during close
Motivation:
ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine depends upon the the SslContext to cleanup JNI resources. If we don't wait until the ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine is done with cleanup before cleaning up the SslContext we may crash the JVM.
Modifications:
- Wait for the channels to close (and thus the ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine to be cleaned up) before cleaning up the associated SslContext.
Result:
Cleanup sequencing is correct and no more JVM crash.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5692
Motivation:
We should fail all promises with the correct SSLENGINE_CLOSED exception one the engine is closed. We did not fail the current promise with this exception if the ByteBuf was not readable.
Modifications:
Correctly fail promises.
Result:
More correct handling of promises if the SSLEngine is closed.
Motivation:
Commit b963595988 added a unit that will not work when KeyManagerFactory is used.
Modifications:
Only run the test if OpenSsl.useKeyManagerFactory() returns false.
Result:
Builds with boringssl
Motivation:
The private key and certificate that are passed into #serKeyMaterial() could be PemEncoded in which case the #toPEM() methods return the identity of the value.
That in turn will fail in the #toBIO() step because the underlying ByteBuf is not necessarily direct.
Modifications:
- Use toBIO(...) which also works with non direct PemEncoded values
- Add unit test.
Result:
Correct handling of PemEncoded.
Motivation:
Its completely fine to start writing before the handshake completes when using SslHandler. The writes will be just queued.
Modifications:
Remove the missleading and incorrect javadoc.
Result:
Correct javadoc.
Motivation:
If netty is used in a tomcat container tomcat itself may ship tcnative. Because of this we will try to use OpenSsl in netty and fail because it is different to netty-tcnative.
Modifications:
Ensure if we find tcnative it is really netty-tcnative before using it.
Result:
No more problems when using netty in a tomcat container that also has tcnative installed.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we only call ReferenceCountUtil.safeRelease(...) in finalize() if the refCnt() > 0 as otherwise we will log a message about IllegalReferenceCountException.
Modification:
Check for a refCnt() > 0 before try to release
Result:
No more IllegalReferenceCountException produced when run finalize() on OpenSsl* objects that where explicit released before.
Motivation:
netty-tcnative API has changed to remove a feature that contributed to a memory leak.
Modifications:
- Update to use the modified netty-tcnative API
Result:
Netty can use the latest netty-tcnative.
Motivation:
In latest refeactoring we failed to cleanup imports and also there are some throws declarations which are not needed.
Modifications:
Cleanup imports and throws declarations
Result:
Cleaner code.
Motivation:
OpenSslEngine and OpenSslContext currently rely on finalizers to ensure that native resources are cleaned up. Finalizers require the GC to do extra work, and this extra work can be avoided if the user instead takes responsibility of releasing the native resources.
Modifications:
- Make a base class for OpenSslENgine and OpenSslContext which does not have a finalizer but instead implements ReferenceCounted. If this engine is inserted into the pipeline it will be released by the SslHandler
- Add a new SslProvider which can be used to enable this new feature
Result:
Users can opt-in to a finalizer free OpenSslEngine and OpenSslContext.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4958
Motivation:
Sometimes it may be useful to explicit disable the usage of the KeyManagerFactory when using OpenSsl.
Modifications:
Add io.netty.handler.ssl.openssl.useKeyManagerFactory which can be used to explicit disable KeyManagerFactory usage.
Result:
More flexible usage.
Motivation:
We should take the readerIndex into account whe write into the BIO. Its currently not a problem as we slice before and so the readerIndex is always 0 but we should better not depend on this as this will break easily if we ever refactor the code and not slice anymore.
Modifications:
Take readerIndex into acount.
Result:
More safe and correct use.
Motivation:
When we try to close the Channel due a timeout we need to ensure we not log if the notification of the promise fails as it may be completed in the meantime.
Modifications:
Add another constructor to ChannelPromiseNotifier and PromiseNotifier which allows to log on notification failure.
Result:
No more miss-leading logs.
Motivation:
FlushConsolidationHandler#flushIfNeeded has a conditional which is fixed based upon code path. This conditional can be removed and instead just manually set in each fixed code path.
Modifications:
- Remove boolean parameter on FlushConsolidationHandler#flushIfNeeded and set readInprogess to false manually when necessary
Result:
Less conditionals in FlushConsolidationHandler
Motivation:
PR #5493 added support for KeyManagerFactories when using the OpenSsl context. This commit corrects a bug causing a NullPointerException that occurs when using a KeyManagerFactory without a certificate chain and private key.
Modifications:
Removes assertNotNull() assertions which were causing a certificate chain and private key to be required even when using a KeyManagerFactory. Also removed a redundant call to buildKeyManagerFactory() which was also causing a exception when a KeyManagerFactory is provided but a certificate chain and private key is not.
Result:
A KeyManagerFactory can now be used in the OpenSslServerContext without an independent certificate chain and private key.
Motivation:
Calling flush() and writeAndFlush(...) are expensive operations in the sense as both will produce a write(...) or writev(...) system call if there are any pending writes in the ChannelOutboundBuffer. Often we can consolidate multiple flush operations into one if currently a read loop is active for a Channel, as we can just flush when channelReadComplete is triggered. Consolidating flushes can give a huge performance win depending on how often is flush is called. The only "downside" may be a bit higher latency in the case of where only one flush is triggered by the user.
Modifications:
Add a FlushConsolidationHandler which will consolidate flushes and so improve the throughput.
Result:
Better performance (throughput). This is especially true for protocols that use some sort of PIPELINING.
Motivation:
ReadTimeoutHandler and IdleStateHandler have duplicated code, we should share whatever possible.
Modifications:
Let ReadTimeoutHandler extend IdleStateHandler.
Result:
Remove code duplication.
Motivation:
Unit test for the OpenSslEngine "OpenSslEngine writePlaintextData WANT_READ with no data in BIO buffer" issue.
Modifications:
- Update SslEngine test to include renegotiation
Result:
More test coverage in OpenSslEngine.
Motivation:
The gRPC interop tests fail due to a NPE in OpenSslEngine.
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
at io.netty.handler.ssl.OpenSslEngine.setSSLParameters(OpenSslEngine.java:1473)
Modifications:
Add a null check
Result:
No more NPE exceptions :-)
Motivation:
To be able to use SslProvider.OpenSsl with existing java apps that use the JDK SSL API we need to also provide a way to use it with an existing KeyManagerFactory.
Modification:
Make use of new tcnative apis and so hook in KeyManagerFactory.
Result:
SslProvider.OpenSsl can be used with KeyManagerFactory as well.
Motivation:
Java8+ adds support set a DH key size via a System property (jdk.tls.ephemeralDHKeySize). We should respect this when using OpenSSL.
Modifications:
Respect system property.
Result:
More consistent SSL implementation.
Motivation:
We recently added support for session ticket statistics which we can expose now.
Modifications:
Expose the statistics.
Result:
Be able to obtain session ticket statistics.
Motivation:
We need to return a correct time for SSLSession.getLastAccessedTime() so it reflect when the handshake was done when the session was reused.
Modifications:
Correctly reflect handshake time in getLastAccessedTime().
Result:
More conform SSLSession implementation.
Motivation:
Sometimes its needed to customize the SSLEngine (like setting protocols etc). For this it would be useful if the user could wrap an SslContext and do init steps on the SSLEngine.
Modifications:
Add new SslContext implementation which can wrap another one and allow to customize the SSLEngine
Result:
More flexible usage of SslContext.
Motivation:
At the moment OpenSslEngine.getSupportedCipherSuites() only return the original openssl cipher names and not the java names. We need also include the java names.
Modifications:
Correctly return the java names as well.
Result:
Correct implementation of OpenSslEngine.getSupportedCipherSuites()
Motivation:
These methods were recently deprecated. However, they remained in use in several locations in Netty's codebase.
Modifications:
Netty's code will now access the bootstrap config to get the group or child group.
Result:
No impact on functionality.
Motivation:
There is no need already use synchronized when validate the args of the methods.
Modifications:
First validate arguments and then use synchronized
Result:
Less code executed in synchronized block.
Motivation:
We use pre-instantiated exceptions in various places for performance reasons. These exceptions don't include a stacktrace which makes it hard to know where the exception was thrown. This is especially true as we use the same exception type (for example ChannelClosedException) in different places. Setting some StackTraceElements will provide more context as to where these exceptions original and make debugging easier.
Modifications:
Set a generated StackTraceElement on these pre-instantiated exceptions which at least contains the origin class and method name. The filename and linenumber are specified as unkown (as stated in the javadocs of StackTraceElement).
Result:
Easier to find the origin of a pre-instantiated exception.
Motivation:
At the moment SSLSession.getId() may always return an empty byte array when OpenSSLEngine is used. This is as we not set SSL_OP_NO_TICKET on the SSLContext and so SSL_SESSION_get_id(...) will return an session id with length of 0 if tickets are not used.
Modifications:
- Set SSL_OP_NO_TICKET by default and only clear it if the user requests the usage of session tickets.
- Add unit test
Result:
Ensure consistent behavior between different SSLEngine implementations.
Motivation:
When using java8+ we should support SSLParameters.setCipherSuiteOrder()
Modifications:
Add support of SLParameters.setCipherSuiteOrder() by using reflection, so we can compile with java7 but still support it.
Result:
Users that use java8+ can use SSLParameters.setCipherSuiteOrder()
Motivation:
Java8 added support for using SNIHostName with SSLParameters. We currently ignore it in OpenSslEngine.
Modifications:
Use reflection to support SNIHostName.
Result:
People using Java8 can use SNIHostName even when OpenSslEngine is used.
Motivation:
We missed to skip some tests for OpenSsl when OpenSsl.isAvailable() is false.
Modifications:
- Correctly skip tests when OpenSsl.isAvailable() is false.
- Simplify some code by using @BeforeClass.
Result:
Be able to compile netty even when OpenSsl is not present on the system.
Motivation:
When the OpenSslContext is gc'ed and the user still hold a reference to OpenSslSessionContext / OpenSslSessionStats it is possible to produce a segfault when calling
a method on any of these that tries to pass down the ctx pointer to the native methods. This is because the OpenSslContext finalizer will free the native pointer.
Modifications:
Change OpenSslSessionContext / OpenSslSessionContext to store a reference to OpenSslContext and so prevent the GC to collect it as long as the user has a reference to OpenSslSessionContext / OpenSslSessionContext.
Result:
No more sefault possible.
Motivation
This bug was introduced with #5377 and affects only users who'd like to share/cache/re-use `PemPrivateKey` and `PemX509Certificate` instances.
Modifications
Use `ByteBuf#writeBytes(src, readerIndex, length)` so that the src's readerIndex doesn't change and can consequently be used more than once.
Result
It's possible to share/cache/re-use `PemPrivateKey` and `PemX509Certificate` instances as long as their refCnt remains >= 1.
Motivation:
2b65258568 only partially addressed the synchronization issues that are present in FlowControlHandlerTest. A few tests are attempting to validate state changes made across an EventLoop thread and the JUnit thread but are not properly synchronized.
Modifications:
- Ensure that conditions which verify expectations set in another thread have synchronization gates to ensure the event has actually occurred.
- Remove the message counter verification in favor of using individual CountDownLatch objects
Result:
FLowControlHanderTest has less race conditions which may lead to test failures.
Motivation
OpenSslContext is expecting Java's PrivateKey and X509Certificate objects as input
(for JdkSslContext API compatibility reasons) but doesn't really use them beyond
turning them into PEM/PKCS#8 strings.
This conversion can be entirely skipped if the user can pass in private keys and
certificates in a format that Netty's OpenSSL code can digest.
Modifications
Two new classes have been added that act as a wrapper around the pre-encoded byte[]
and also retain API compatibility to JdkSslContext.
Result
It's possible to pass PEM encoded bytes straight into OpenSSL without having to
parse them (e.g. File to Java's PrivateKey) and then encode them (i.e. PrivateKey
into PEM/PKCS#8).
File pemPrivateKeyFile;
byte[] pemBytes = readBytes(pemPrivateKeyFile);
PemPrivateKey pemPrivateKey = PemPrivateKey.valueOf(pemBytes);
SslContextBuilder.forServer(pemPrivateKey)
.sslProvider(SslProvider.OPENSSL)
Motivation:
JCTools supports both non-unsafe, unsafe versions of queues and JDK6 which allows us to shade the library in netty-common allowing it to stay "zero dependency".
Modifications:
- Remove copy paste JCTools code and shade the library (dependencies that are shaded should be removed from the <dependencies> section of the generated POM).
- Remove usage of OneTimeTask and remove it all together.
Result:
Less code to maintain and easier to update JCTools and less GC pressure as the queue implementation nt creates so much garbage
Motivation:
OpenSslClientContext / OpenSslServerContext can never be garbage collected as both are part of a reference to a callback that is stored as global reference in jni code.
Modifications:
Ensure the callbacks are static and so not hold the reference.
Result:
No more leak due not collectable OpenSslClientContext / OpenSslServerContext
Motivation:
OpenSslEngine.wrap will only encrypt at most 1 buffer per call. We may be able to encrypt multiple buffers per call.
Modifications:
- OpensslEngine.wrap should continue encrypting data until there is an error, no more data, or until the destination buffer would be overflowed.
Result:
More encryption is done per OpenSslEngine.wrap call
Motivation:
CVE-2016-4970
OpenSslEngine.wrap calls SSL_write which may return SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ, and if in this condition there is nothing to read from the BIO the OpenSslEngine and SslHandler will enter an infinite loop.
Modifications:
- Use the error code provided by OpenSSL and go back to the EventLoop selector to detect if the socket is closed
Result:
OpenSslEngine correctly handles the return codes from OpenSSL and does not enter an infinite loop.
Motivation:
OpenSslEngine calls rejectRemoteInitiatedRenegation in a scenario where the number of handshakes has not been observed to change. The number of handshakes has only been observed to change after readPlaintextData is called.
Modifications:
- Remove the call to rejectRemoteInitiatedRenegation before calls to readPlaintextData
Result:
Less code.
Motivation:
When netty is used with open ssl provider and client authentication the following errors can occur:
error:140D9115:SSL routines:ssl_get_prev_session:session id context uninitialized
error:140A1175:SSL routines:ssl_bytes_to_cipher_list:inappropriate fallback
error:140760FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol
Modifications:
Set the session id context in OpenSslServerContext so that sessions which use client authentication
which are cached have the same context id value.
Result:
Client authentication now works with open ssl provider.
Motivation:
DomainMappingBuilder should have been named as DomainNameMappingBuilder
because it builds a DomainNameMapping.
Modifications:
- Add DomainNameMappingBuilder that does the same job with
DomainMappingBuilder
- Deprecate DomainMappingBuilder and delegate its logic to
DomainNameMappingBuilder
- Remove the references to the deprecated methods and classes related
with domain name mapping
- Miscellaneous:
- Fix Javadoc of DomainNameMapping.asMap()
- Pre-create the unmodifiable map in DomainNameMapping
Result:
- Consistent naming
- Less use of deprecated API
Related: #4333#4421#5128
Motivation:
slice(), duplicate() and readSlice() currently create a non-recyclable
derived buffer instance. Under heavy load, an application that creates a
lot of derived buffers can put the garbage collector under pressure.
Modifications:
- Add the following methods which creates a non-recyclable derived buffer
- retainedSlice()
- retainedDuplicate()
- readRetainedSlice()
- Add the new recyclable derived buffer implementations, which has its
own reference count value
- Add ByteBufHolder.retainedDuplicate()
- Add ByteBufHolder.replace(ByteBuf) so that..
- a user can replace the content of the holder in a consistent way
- copy/duplicate/retainedDuplicate() can delegate the holder
construction to replace(ByteBuf)
- Use retainedDuplicate() and retainedSlice() wherever possible
- Miscellaneous:
- Rename DuplicateByteBufTest to DuplicatedByteBufTest (missing 'D')
- Make ReplayingDecoderByteBuf.reject() return an exception instead of
throwing it so that its callers don't need to add dummy return
statement
Result:
Derived buffers are now recycled when created via retainedSlice() and
retainedDuplicate() and derived from a pooled buffer
Motivation:
Sometimes it is useful to include more details in the IdleStateEvents that are produced by the IdleStateHandler. For this users should be able to create their own IdleStateEvents that encapsulate more informations.
Modifications:
- Make IdleStateEvent constructor protected and the class non-final
- Add protected method to IdleStateHandler that users can override and so create their own IdleStateEvents.
Result:
More flexible and customizable IdleStateEvents / IdleStateHandler
Motivation:
We should zero-out the private key as soon as possible when we not need it anymore.
Modifications:
zero out the private key before release the buffer.
Result:
Limit the time the private key resist in memory.
Motivation:
FlowControlHandlerTest attempts to validate the expected contents of the underlying queue in FlowControlHandler. However the condition which triggers the check is too early and the queue contents may not yet contain all expected objects. For example a CountDownLatch is counted down in a handler's channelRead which is after the FlowControlHandler in the pipeline. At this point if there is a thread context switch the queue may not yet contain all the expected objects and checking the queue contents is not valid.
Modifications:
- Remove checking the queues contents in FLowControlHandlerTest and instead only check the empty condition at the end of the tests
Result:
FlowControlHandlerTest won't fail due to invalid checks of the contents of the queue.
Motivation:
The current note reads as if this class is dangerous and advises the reader to "understand what this class does".
Modifications:
Rewrite the Javadoc note to describe what fingerprint checks are and what problems remain.
Result:
Clearer description which no longer causes the impression this class is dangerous.
Motivations
The test SniHandlerTest#testSniWithApnHandler() does not actually
involve SNI: given the client setup, the ClientHello in the form of hex
strings is not actually written to the wire, so the server never receives that.
We may need to write in somewhere else (e.g., channelActive()) instead of in
initChannel() in order for the hex strings to reach the server. So here
what's actually going on is an ordinary TLS C/S communication without SNI.
Modifications
The client part is modified to enable SNI by using an SslHandler with an
SSLEngine created by io.netty.handler.ssl.SslContext#newEngine(), where
the server hostname is specified. Also, more clauses are added to verify that
the SNI is indeed successful.
Results
Now the test verifies that both SNI and APN actually happen and succeed.
Motivation:
Some handlers such as HttpObjectDecoder can emit more than one event per read()
which leads to problems in downstream handlers that expect only one event and hope
that ChannelConfig#setAutoRead(false) prevents further events being sent while they're
processing the one they've just received.
Modifications:
A new handler called FlowControlHandler that feeds off read() and isAutoRead() and acts
as a holding buffer if auto reading gets turned off and more events arrive while auto reading
is off.
Result:
Fixes issues such as #4895.
Motivation:
Some applications may use alternative methods of loading the tcnative JNI symbols. We should support this use case.
Modifications:
Separate the loading and initialzation of the tcnative library so that each can fail independently.
Result:
Fixes#5043
Motivation:
Sometimes a user only has access to a preconfigured SSLContext but still would like to use our ssl sub-system. For this situations it would be very useful if the user could create a JdkSslContext instance from an existing SSLContext.
Modifications:
- Create new public constructors in JdkSslContext which allow to wrap an existing SSLContext and make the class non-abstract
- Mark JdkSslServerContext and JdkSslClientContext as deprecated as the user should not directly use these.
Result:
It's now possible to create an JdkSslContext from an existing SSLContext.
Motivation:
fcbeebf6df introduced a unit test to verify ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler is compatible with SniHandler. However only the server attempts ALPN and verifies that it completes and the client doesn't verify the handshake is completed. This can lead to the client side SSL engine to prematurely close and throw an exception.
Modifications:
- The client should wait for the SSL handshake and ALPN to complete before the test exits.
Result:
SniHandlerTest.testSniWithApnHandler is more reliable.
Motivation:
ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler attempts to get a reference to an SslHandler in handlerAdded, but when SNI is in use the actual SslHandler will be added to the pipeline dynamically at some later time. When the handshake completes ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler throws an IllegalStateException because its reference to SslHandler is null.
Modifications:
- Instead of saving a reference to SslHandler in handlerAdded just search the pipeline when the SslHandler is needed
Result:
ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler support SniHandler.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5066
Motivation:
There are some use cases when a client may only be willing to read from a channel once
its previous write is finished (eg: serial dispatchers in Finagle). In this case, a
connection with SslHandler installed and ctx.channel().config().isAutoRead() == false
will stall in 100% of cases no matter what order of "channel active", "write", "flush"
events was.
The use case is following (how Finagle serial dispatchers work):
1. Client writeAndFlushes and waits on a write-promise to perform read() once it's satisfied.
2. A write-promise will only be satisfied once SslHandler finishes with handshaking and
sends the unencrypted queued message.
3. The handshaking process itself requires a number of read()s done by a client but the
SslHandler doesn't request them explicitly assuming that either auto-read is enabled
or client requested at least one read() already.
4. At this point a client will stall with NEED_UNWRAP status returned from underlying engine.
Modifiations:
Always request a read() on NEED_UNWRAP returned from engine if
a) it's handshaking and
b) auto read is disabled and
c) it wasn't requested already.
Result:
SslHandler is now completely tolerant of whether or not auto-read is enabled and client
is explicitly reading a channel.
Motivation:
We should throw a more helpful exception when a non PKCS#8 key is used by the user.
Modifications:
Change exception message to give a hint what is wrong.
Result:
Easier for user to understand whats wrong with their used key.
Motivation:
SSLContext.buildTrustManagerFactory(...) builds a KeyStore to
initialize the TrustManagerFactory from an array of X509Certificates,
assuming that array is a chain and that each certificate will have a
unique Subject Distinguised Name.
However, the collection of certificates used as trust anchors is generally
not a chain (it is an unordered collection), and it is legitimate for it
to contain multiple certificates with the same Subject DN.
The existing code uses the Subject DN as the alias name when filling in
the `KeyStore`, thereby overwriting other certificates with the same
Subject DN in this collection, so some certificates may be discarded.
In addition, the code related to building trust managers can take an array of
X509Certificate instances to use as trust anchors. The variable name is
usually trustCertChain, and the documentation refers to them as a "chain".
However, while it makes sense to talk about a "chain" from a keymanager
point of view, these certificates are just an unordered collection in a
trust manager. (There is no chaining requirement, having the Subject DN
matching its predecessor's Issuer DN.)
This can create confusion to for users not used with PKI concepts.
Modifications:
SSLContext.buildTrustManagerFactory(...) now uses a distinct alias for each
array (simply using a counter, since this name is never used for reference
later). This patch also includes a unit test with CA certificates using the
same Subject DN.
Also renamed trustCertChain into trustCertCollection, and changed the
references to "chain" in the Javadoc.
Result:
Each loaded certificate now has a unique identifier when loaded, so it is
now possible to use multiple certificates with the same Subject DN as
trust anchors.
Hopefully, renaming the parameter should also reduce confusion around PKI
concepts.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we call ctx.flush() before closing the actual channel when an handshake failure took place. If we miss to do so we may not send all pending data to the remote peer which also include SSL alerts.
Modifications:
Ensure we call ctx.flush() before ctx.close() on a handshake error.
Result:
All pending data (including SSL alerts) are written to the remote peer on a handshake error.
Motivation:
We currently not supported using KeyManagerFactory with OpenSslClientContext and so should throw an exception if the user tries to do so. This will at least not give suprising and hard to debug problems later.
Modifications:
Throw exception if a user tries to construct a OpenSslClientContext with a KeyManagerFactory
Result:
Fail fast if the user tries to use something that is not supported.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we do all checks inside of the try / catch block so we free native memory that was allocated in the constructor of the super class in a timely manner.
Modifications:
Move all checks inside of the try block.
Result:
Correctly release native memory (and not depend on the finalizer) when a check in the constructors fails
Motivation:
A user may use a private key which is encrypted with an empty password. Because of this we should only handle a null password in a special way.
Modifications:
- Correctly handle private key that is encrypted with empty password.
- Make OpenSsl*Context implementions consistent in terms of initialization in the constructor.
Result:
Correctly support private key that is encrypted with empty password.
Motivation:
We want to allow the use of an uber jar that contains shared dynamic libraries for all platforms (including fedora).
Modifications:
Modified OpenSsl to try and load the fedora library if the OS is Linux and the platform specified library fails before using the default lib.
Result:
True uber support.
Motivation:
We want to allow the use of an uber jar that contains the shared libraries for all platforms.
Modifications:
Modified OpenSsl to first check for a platform-specific lib before using the default lib.
Result:
uber support.
Motivation:
Depending on the actual CertificateException we should set the correct alert type so it will be sent back to the remote peer and so make it easier for them to fix it.
Modification:
Correctly set the alert and not always just use a general alert.
Result:
It's easier for the remote peer to fix the problems.
Motivation:
Commit 108dc23cab introduced a workaround due to a JDK crash when GCM cipher was used during an unwrap operation. Attempting to reproduce this issue with the latest JDK (1.8.0_72-b15) demonstrate that this issue no longer exists while it can be reliably reproduced on earlier JDKs (1.8.0_25-b17 and earlier)
Modifications:
- Remove the copy-to-heap-buffer workaround for JDK engine
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/3256
Motivation:
netty-tcnative-1.1.33.Fork was released, we should upgrade. Also we should skip renegotiate tests if boringssl is used because boringssl does not support renegotiation.
Modifications:
- Upgrade to netty-tcnative-1.1.33.Fork13
- Skip renegotiate tests if boringssl is used.
Result:
Use newest version of netty-tcnative and be able to build if boringssl is used.
Motivation:
Sometimes it's easier to get keys/certificates as `InputStream`s than it is to
get an actual `File`. This is especially true when operating in a container
environment and `getResourceAsInputStream` is the best way to load resources
packaged with an application.
Modifications:
- Add read-from-`InputStream` methods to `PemReader`
- Allow `SslContext` to get keys/certificates from `InputStreams`
- Add `InputStream`-based setters for key/trust managers to `SslContextBuilder`
Result:
Callers may pass an `InputStream` instead of a `File` to `SslContextBuilder`.
Motivation:
OpenSslContext constructor fails with a UnsupportedOperationException if Unsafe is not present on the system.
Modifications:
Make OpenSslContext work also when Unsafe is not present by fallback to using JNI to get the memory address.
Result:
Using OpenSslContext also works on systems without Unsafe.
Motivation:
We need to enable SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER when using OpenSslContext as the memory address of the buffer that is passed to OpenSslEngine.wrap(...) may change during calls and retries. This is the case as
if the buffer is a heap-buffer we will need to copy it to a direct buffer to hand it over to the JNI layer. When not enable this mode we may see errors like: 'error:1409F07F:SSL routines:SSL3_WRITE_PENDING: bad write retry'.
Related to https://github.com/netty/netty-tcnative/issues/100.
Modifications:
Explitict set mode to SSL.SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS | SSL.SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER . (SSL.SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS was used before implicitly).
Result:
No more 'error:1409F07F:SSL routines:SSL3_WRITE_PENDING: bad write retry' possible when writing heap buffers.
Motivation:
When using SslProvider.OPENSSL we currently not handle SNI on the client side.
Modifications:
Correctly enable SNI when using clientMode and peerHost != null.
Result:
SNI works even with SslProvider.OPENSSL.
Motivation:
See #3411. A reusable ArrayList in InternalThreadLocalMap can avoid allocations in the following pattern:
```
List<...> list = new ArrayList<...>();
add something to list but never use InternalThreadLocalMap
return list.toArray(new ...[list.size()]);
```
Modifications:
Add a reusable ArrayList to InternalThreadLocalMap and update codes to use it.
Result:
Reuse a thread local ArrayList to avoid allocations.
Motivation:
As we now can easily build static linked versions of tcnative it makes sense to run our netty build against all of them.
This helps to ensure our code works with libressl, openssl and boringssl.
Modifications:
Allow to specify -Dtcnative.artifactId= and -Dtcnative.version=
Result:
Easy to run netty build against different tcnative flavors.
Motivation:
When an SSL record contains an invalid extension data, SniHandler
currently throws an IndexOutOfBoundsException, which is not optimal.
Modifications:
- Do strict index range checks
Result:
No more unnecessary instantiation of exceptions and their stack traces
Motivation:
Not all SSLEngine implementations permit beginHandshake being called while a handshake is in progress during the initial handshake. We should ensure we only go through the initial handshake code once to prevent unexpected exceptions from being thrown.
Modifications:
- Only call beginHandshake if there is not currently a handshake in progress
Result:
SslHandler's handshake method is compatible with OpenSSLEngineImpl in Android 5.0+ and 6.0+.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4718
Motivation:
We incorrectly added the trustCertChain as certificate chain when OpenSslClientContext was created. We need to correctly add the keyCertChain.
Modifications:
Correctly add whole keyCertChain.
Result:
SSL client auth is working when usin OpenSslClientContext and more then one cert is contained in the certificate chain.
Motivation:
Attempts to enable SSL protocols which are currently disabled fail when using the OpenSslEngine. Related to https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4736
Modifications:
Clear out all options that have disabled SSL protocols before attempting to enable any SSL protocol.
Result:
setEnabledProtocols works as expected.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we flush out all pending data when an SslException accours so the remote peer receives all alerts.
Modifications:
Ensure we call ctx.flush() when needed.
Result:
Correctly receive alerts in all cases on the remote peer.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we add the correct handshake error to the SSLHandshakeException before throwing it when failing the
handshake.
Modifications:
Use the correct error string when creating the SSLHandshakeException.
Result:
Correct SSLHandshakeException message included.
Motivation:
Sometimes a user want to do async mappings in the SniHandler as it is not possible to populate a Mapping up front.
Modifications:
Add AsyncMapping interface and make SniHandler work with it.
Result:
It is possible to do async mappings for SNI
Motivation:
As we can only handle handshake commands to parse SNI we should try to skip alert and change cipher spec commands a few times before we fallback to use a default SslContext.
Modifications:
- Use default SslContext if no application data command was received
- Use default SslContext if after 4 commands we not received a handshake command
- Simplify code
- Eliminate multiple volatile fields
- Rename SslConstants to SslUtils
- Share code between SslHandler and SniHandler by moving stuff to SslUtils
Result:
Correct handling of non handshake commands and cleaner code.
Motivation:
Android 5.0 (API version 21) has a bug which not correctly set the bytesConsumed of SSLEngineResult when HandshakeStatus is FINISHED. Because of this we need to special handle the status and so workaround the Android bug.
Modifications:
- Break the unwrap for (;;) loop when HandshakeStatus is FINISHED and bytesConsumed == 0 && bytesProduced == 0.
Result:
SslHandler works with all known version of Android.
Motivation:
There are a few buffer leaks related to how Unpooled.wrapped and Base64.encode is used.
Modifications:
- Fix usages of Bas64.encode to correct leaks
- Clarify interface of Unpooled.wrapped* to ensure reference count ownership is clearly defined.
Result:
Reference count code is more clearly defined and less leaks are possible.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we only add the OpenSslEngine to the OpenSslEngineMap when the handshake is started as otherwise we may produce a memory leak when the OpenSslEngine is created but not actually used. This can for example happen if we encounter a connection refused from the remote peer. In this case we will never remove the OpenSslEngine from the OpenSslEngineMap and so it will never be collected (as we hold a reference). This has as affect that the finalizer will never be run as well.
Modifications:
- Lazy add the OpenSslEngine to the OpenSslEngineMap to elimate possible leak.
- Call OpenSslEngine.shutdown() when SslHandler is removed from the ChannelPipeline to free memory asap in all cases.
Result:
No more memory leak with OpenSslEngine if connection is refused.
Motivation:
We had to add a new profile for each OpenJDK/OracleJDK release to make
Maven choose the correct alpn-boot.jar and npn-boot.jar. As a result,
our pom.xml has a large number of `<profile/>` sections.
Modifications:
- Use jetty-alpn-agent, which chooses the correct alpn-boot.jar and
npn-boot.jar automatically to remove all the nasty profile sections
from pom.xml
- Visit https://github.com/trustin/jetty-alpn-agent for more info
Result:
Cleaner pom.xml
Motivation:
- Javadoc is not correct (#4353)
- WriteTimeoutHandler does not always cancel the timeout task (#2973)
Modifications:
Fix the javadoc and cleanup timeout task in handlerRemoved
Result:
WriteTimeoutHandler's javadoc describes the correct behavior and it will cancel timeout tasks when it's removed.
Motivation:
As we not used Unpooled anymore for allocate buffers in Base64.* methods we need to ensure we realease all the buffers.
Modifications:
Correctly release buffers
Result:
No more buffer leaks
Motivation:
OpenSslEngine now tests ALPN behavior. However it is possible that OpenSSL is present, but the version does not support ALPN. This will result in test failures instead of just skipping the test.
Modifications:
- Skip ALPN tests in OpenSslEngineTest if the version of OpenSSL does not support ALPN
Result:
Tests don't fail due to unsupported feature in OpenSSL.
Motivation:
Currently there are no tests for OpenSSL Engine,
only for JdkSSL engine.
Modifications:
Common methods from `JdkSslEngine` test moved
to `SSLEngineTest`, JdkSslEngine now implements
NPN and ALPN tests.
Result:
OpenSSL Engine is now covered with unit tests.
Motivation:
Javadoc reports errors about invalid docs.
Modifications:
Fix some errors reported by javadoc.
Result:
A lot of javadoc errors are fixed by this patch.
Motivation:
There are some wrong links and tags in javadoc.
Modifications:
Fix the wrong links and tags in javadoc.
Result:
These links will work correctly in javadoc.
Motivation:
ChunkedInput.readChunk currently takes a ChannelHandlerContext object as a parameters. All current implementations of this interface only use this object to get the ByteBufAllocator object. Thus taking a ChannelHandlerContext as a parameter is more restrictive for users of this API than necessary.
Modifications:
- Add a new method readChunk(ByteBufAllocator)
- Deprecate readChunk(ChannelHandlerContext) and updates all implementations to call readChunk(ByteBufAllocator)
Result:
API that only requires ByteBufAllocator to use ChunkedInput.
Motivation:
FileInputStream opened by SelfSignedCertificate wasn't closed.
Modifications:
Use a try-finally to close the opened FileInputStream.
Result:
FileInputStream will be closed properly.
Related: #4470#4473
Motivation:
A user might want to:
- implement dynamic mapping from hostname to SslContext
- server large number of domain names whose SslContext can be
initialized lazily and destroyed when unused
Modifications:
- Let SniHandler accept Mapping<String, SslContext> as well as
DomainNameMapping
- Make the default constructor of SslContext so that a user can create
his or her own SslContext wrapper
Result:
Flexibility
Motivation:
We currently not supported using KeyManagerFactory with OpenSslServerContext and so should throw an exception if the user tries to do so. This will at least not give suprising and hard to debug problems later.
Modifications:
Throw exception if a user tries to construct a OpenSslServerContext with a KeyManagerFactory
Result:
Fail fast if the user tries to use something that is not supported.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we consume all pending data in the BIO on error to correctly send the close notify for the remote peer.
Modifications:
Correctly force the user to call wrap(...) if there is something left in the BIO.
Result:
close_notify is not lost.
Motivation:
When ClientAuth is set via SslContextBuilder we pass it into the OpenSslEngine constructor. Due a bug we missed to call the correct native methods and so never enabled ClientAuth in this case.
Modifications:
Correctly call setClientAuth(...) in the constructor if needed.
Result:
client auth also works when configured via the SslContextBuilder and OPENSSL is used.
Motivation:
We missed to remove a method in SslContext while refactored the implementation. We should remove the method to keep things clean.
Modifications:
Remove unused method.
Result:
Code cleanup.
Motivation:
Use new / non-deprecated APIs for creating SSL Context
in tests, in order to be able to implement OpenSsl
tests with maximum code reuse.
Modifications:
Use `SslContextBuilder.(forServer|forClient)` instead
of deprecated `JdkSslServerContext` constructor.
Use `ApplicationProtocolConfig` instead of Protocol
Negotiator.
Use custom exception type for skipping tests to avoid
swallowing exceptions arising from tests.
Result:
Exceptions from tests aren't swallowed.
Using new APIs allows reusing same test code for
OpenSsl tests.
Motivation:
We should use OneTimeTask where possible to reduce object creation.
Modifications:
Replace Runnable with OneTimeTask
Result:
Less object creation
Motivation:
Child classes of ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler may want to override the behavior when a handshake failure is detected.
Modifications:
- Provide a method which can be overriden when a handshake failure is detected.
Result:
Child classes can override ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler handshake failure behavior.
Motivation:
OpenSslServerContext should not reinitialize the provided TrustManagerFactory with the key cert chain as the user should be able to pass a fully initialized TrustManagerFactory. This is also in line with how JdkSslServerContext works.
Modifications:
Not reinitialize the provided TrustManagerFactory with the key cert chain.
Result:
Correct and consistent behavior.
Motivation:
The SSLSession allows to invalidate a SSLSession and so disallow resume of a session. We should support this for OpenSSLEngine as well.
Modifications:
- Correctly implement SSLSession.isValid() and invalidate() in OpenSSLEngine
- Add unit test.
Result:
Invalidate of SSL sessions is supported when using OpenSSL now.
Motivation:
Often unwrap(...), wrap(...) is used with a single ByteBuffer and not with a ByteBuffer[]. We should reduce the array creations in this case.
Modifications:
Reuse ByteBuffer[1] for dst/src ByteBuffer.
Result:
Less object creation and so less GC
Motivation:
As a SSL session may be created later at some time we should compute the creation time in a lazy fashion.
Modifications:
- Lazy compute creation time
- Add some unit test
Result:
More correct behavior
Motivation:
JDK SslEngine supports renegotion, so we should at least support it server-side with OpenSslEngine as well.
That said OpenSsl does not support sending messages asynchronly while the renegotiation is still in progress, so the application need to ensure there are not writes going on while the renegotiation takes place. See also https://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=1019 .
Modifications:
- Add support for renegotiation when OpenSslEngine is used in server mode
- Add unit tests.
- Upgrade to netty-tcnative 1.1.33.Fork9
Result:
Better compatibility with the JDK SSLEngine implementation.
Motivation:
We missed to correctly update the internal handshake state on beginHandshake() if we was able to finish the handshake directly. Also we not handled the case correctly when beginHandshake() was called after the first handshake was finished, which incorrectly throw an Error.
Modifications:
- Correctly set internal handshake state in all cases
- Correctly handle beginHandshake() once first handshake was finished.
Result:
Correctly handle OpenSslEngine.beginHandshake()
Motivation:
We should provide a better way to set session keys that not use the deprecated method of netty-tcnative.
Modifications:
- Add OpenSslSessionTicketKey
- Expose new method on OpenSslServerContext and deprecate the old method.
Result:
Easier to use and can remove the deprecated method later on.
Motivation:
PR https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/4257 introduced paramters and didn't use them.
Modifications:
- Use the new paramters
Result:
No warnings and correct behavior
Motivation:
OpenSslEngine.unwrap(...) / wrap(...) must return HandhsakeStatus.FINISHED if an unwrap or wrap finishes a handshake to behave like descripted in the SSLEngine docs.
Modifications:
- Ensure we return HandshakeStatus.FINISHED
Result:
Behave correctly.
Motivation:
Users may want to control the valid dates for SelfSignedCertificate.
Modifications:
- Allow NOT_BEFORE and NOT_AFTER to be controlled via java system properties.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/3978
Motivation:
To simplify the use of client auth, we need to add it to the SslContextBuilder.
Modifications:
Added a ClientAuth enum and plumbed it through the builder, down into the contexts/engines.
Result:
Client auth can be configured when building an SslContext.
Motivation:
The latest netty-tcnative fixes a bug in determining the version of the runtime openssl lib. It also publishes an artificact with the classifier linux-<arch>-fedora for fedora-based systems.
Modifications:
Modified the build files to use the "-fedora" classifier when appropriate for tcnative. Care is taken, however, to not change the classifier for the native epoll transport.
Result:
Netty is updated the the new shiny netty-tcnative.
Motivation:
SSLSession.getLocalCertificates() and getLocalPrincipal() was not supported when using OpenSSL, which can produce problems when switch from JDK to OpenSSL impl.
Modifications:
Implement SSLSession.getLocalCertificates() and getLocalPrincipal() for OpenSslEngine.
Result:
More consistent behaving between JDK and OpenSSL based SSLEngine.
Motivation:
As stated in the SSLSession javadocs getPeer* methods need to throw a SSLPeerUnverifiedException if peers identity has not be verified.
Modifications:
- Correctly throw SSLPeerUnverifiedException
- Add test for it.
Result:
Correctly behave like descripted in javadocs.
Motivation:
Invoking the javax.net.ssl.SSLEngine.closeInbound() method will send a
fatal alert and invalidate the SSL session if a close_notify alert has
not been received.
From the javadoc:
If the application initiated the closing process by calling
closeOutbound(), under some circumstances it is not required that the
initiator wait for the peer's corresponding close message. (See section
7.2.1 of the TLS specification (RFC 2246) for more information on
waiting for closure alerts.) In such cases, this method need not be
called.
Always invoking the closeInbound() method without regard to whether or
not the closeOutbound() method has been invoked could lead to
invalidating perfectly valid SSL sessions.
Modifications:
Added an instance variable to track whether the
SSLEngine.closeOutbound() method has been invoked. When the instance
variable is true, the SSLEngine.closeInbound() method doesn't need to be
invoked.
Result:
SSL sessions will not be invalidated if the outbound side has been
closed but a close_notify alert hasn't been received.
Motivation:
On Android devices with version less than Lollipop, HarmonyJSSE is used for SSL. After completion of handshake, handshake status is NOT_HANDSHAKING instead of FINISHED. Also encrypting empty buffer after handshake should cause underflow exception and produce 0 bytes, but here it happily encrypts it causing for loop to never break
Modification:
Since 0 bytes should only be consumed in handshake process. Added a condition to break loop when 0 bytes are consumed and handshake status is NOT_HANDSHAKING
Result:
Sucessful ssl handshake on Android devices, no infinite loop now
Motivation:
We provide a hyperlink to the docs for SPDY if the runtime is not setup correctly to help users. These docs have moved.
Modifications:
- Update the hyperlink to point to the new doc location.
Result:
Users are able to find docs more easily.
Motivation:
Sometimes the user already has a PrivateKey / X509Certificate which should be used to create a new SslContext. At the moment we only allow to construct it via Files.
Modifications:
- Add new methods to the SslContextBuilder to allow creating a SslContext from PrivateKey / X509Certificate
- Mark all public constructors of *SslContext as @Deprecated, the user should use SslContextBuilder
- Update tests to us SslContextBuilder.
Result:
Creating of SslContext is possible with PrivateKay/X509Certificate
Motivation:
We pass-through non ByteBuf when SslHandler.write(...) is called which can lead to have unencrypted data to be send (like for example if a FileRegion is written).
Modifications:
- Fail ChannelPromise with UnsupportedMessageException if a non ByteBuf is written.
Result:
Only allow ByteBuf to be written when using SslHandler.
Motivation:
Remove RC4 from default ciphers as it is not known as secure anymore.
Modifications:
Remove RC4
Result:
Not use an insecure cipher as default.
Motivation:
When we detect a BUFFER_OVERFLOW we should just forward the already produced data and allocate a new buffer and NOT do any extra memory copies while trying to expand the buffer.
Modifications:
When a BUFFER_OVERFLOW is returned and some data was produced just fire this data through the pipeline and allocate a new buffer to read again.
Result:
Less memorycopies and so better performance.
Motivation:
A SSL_read is needed to ensure the bio buffer is flushed, for this we did a priming read. This can be removed in many cases. Also ensure we always fill as much as possible in the destination buffers.
Modifications:
- Only do priming read if capacity of all dsts buffers is zero
- Always produce as must data as possible in the dsts buffers.
Result:
Faster code.
Motivation:
Previous we called BIO_write until either everything was written into it or it returned an error, which meant that the buffer is full. This then needed a ERR_clear_error() call which is expensive.
Modifications:
Break out of writing loop once we detect that not everything was written and so the buffer is full.
Result:
Less overhead when writing more data then the internal buffer can take.
Motivation:
When BIO_write is called with an empty buffer it will return 0 for which we call ERR_clear_error(). This is not neccessary as we should just skip these buffers. This eliminates a lot of overhead.
Modifications:
Skip empty src buffers when call unwrap(...).
Result:
Less overhead for unwrap(...) when called with empty buffers.
Motivation:
If a user tries to access various informations on the OpenSslSession after the SSLEngine was closed it will not work if these were not accessed before as we lazy init most of them.
Modifications:
Directly populate the whole OpenSslSession once the handshake is complete and before the user is notified about it.
Result:
OpenSslSession informations are avaible until it is GC'ed.
Motivation:
We used ERR_get_error() to detect errors and missed to handle different errors. Also we missed to clear the error queue for a thread before invoke SSL operations,
this could lead to detecting errors on different OpenSslEngines then the one in which the error actual happened.
Modifications:
Explicit handle errors via SSL.get_error and clear the error code before SSL operations.
Result:
Correctly handle errors and no false-positives in different OpenSslEngines then the one which detected an error.
Motivation:
According to the javadocs of SSLSession.getPeerPrincipal should be returning the identity of the peer, while we return the identity of the issuer.
Modifications:
Return the correct indentity.
Result:
Behavior match the documentation.
Motivation:
Due a copy and paste error we incorrectly skipped the first cert in the keyCertChainFile when using OpenSslClientContext.
Modifications:
Correctly not skip the first cert.
Result:
The certificate chain is correctly setup when using OpenSslClientContext.
Motivation:
Dumping the content of a ByteBuf in a hex format is very useful.
Modifications:
Move code into ByteBufUtil so its easy to reuse.
Result:
Easy to reuse dumping code.
Motivation:
The current dumping code does not respect the readerIndex and so logs incorrect.
Modifications:
Respect readerIndex of ByteBuf
Result:
Correctly log content of buffer.
Motivation:
If the handlerAdded(...) callback was not called, the checkDeadLock() of the handshakeFuture will produce an IllegalStateException.
This was first reported at https://github.com/impossibl/pgjdbc-ng/issues/168 .
Modifications:
Pass deadlock check if ctx is null
Result:
No more race and so IllegalStateException.
Motivation:
For advanced use-cases it an be helpful to be able to directly access the SSL_CTX and SSL pointers of the underlying openssl objects. This for example allows to register custom C callbacks.
Modifications:
- Expose the SSL_CTX and SSL pointers
- Cleanup the shutdown code
Result:
It's now possible to obtain the c pointes and set native callbacks.
Motivation:
SpdyOrHttpChooser and Http2OrHttpChooser duplicate fair amount code with each other.
Modification:
- Replace SpdyOrHttpChooser and Http2OrHttpChooser with ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler
- Add ApplicationProtocolNames to define the known application-level protocol names
Result:
- Less code duplication
- A user can perform dynamic pipeline configuration that follows ALPN/NPN for any protocols.
Related: #3641 and #3813
Motivation:
When setting up an HTTP/1 or HTTP/2 (or SPDY) pipeline, a user usually
ends up with adding arbitrary set of handlers.
Http2OrHttpChooser and SpdyOrHttpChooser have two abstract methods
(create*Handler()) that expect a user to return a single handler, and
also have add*Handlers() methods that add the handler returned by
create*Handler() to the pipeline as well as the pre-defined set of
handlers.
The problem is, some users (read: I) don't need all of them or the
user wants to add more than one handler. For example, take a look at
io.netty.example.http2.tiles.Http2OrHttpHandler, which works around
this issue by overriding addHttp2Handlers() and making
createHttp2RequestHandler() a no-op.
Modifications:
- Replace add*Handlers() and create*Handler() with configure*()
- Rename getProtocol() to selectProtocol() to make what it does clear
- Provide the default implementation of selectProtocol()
- Remove SelectedProtocol.UNKNOWN and use null instead, because
'UNKNOWN' is not a protocol
- Proper exception handling in the *OrHttpChooser so that the
exception is logged and the connection is closed when failed to
select a protocol
- Make SpdyClient example always use SSL. It was always using SSL
anyway.
- Implement SslHandshakeCompletionEvent.toString() for debuggability
- Remove an orphaned class: JettyNpnSslSession
- Add SslHandler.applicationProtocol() to get the name of the
application protocol
- SSLSession.getProtocol() now returns transport-layer protocol name
only, so that it conforms to its contract.
Result:
- *OrHttpChooser have better API.
- *OrHttpChooser handle protocol selection failure properly.
- SSLSession.getProtocol() now conforms to its contract.
- SpdyClient example works with SpdyServer example out of the box
Motivation:
Calling System.nanoTime() for each channelRead(...) is very expensive. See [#3808] for more detailed description.
Also we always do extra work for each write and read even if read or write idle states should not be handled.
Modifications:
- Move System.nanoTime() call to channelReadComplete(...).
- Reuse ChannelFutureListener for writes
- Only add ChannelFutureListener to writes if write and all idle states should be handled.
- Only call System.nanoTime() for reads if idle state events for read and all states should be handled.
Result:
Less overhead when using the IdleStateHandler.
Motivation:
We called TrustManagerFactory.init(...) even when the trustCertChainFile is null. This could lead to exceptions during the handshake.
Modifications:
Correctly only call TurstManagerFactory.init() if trustCertcChainFail is not null.
Result:
Correct behavior.
Motiviation:
The OpenSSL engine uses SSLHandshakeException in the event of failures that occur during the handshake process. The alpn-boot project's getSSLException will also map the no_application_protocol to a SSLHandshakeException exception. We should be consistent and use SSLHandshakeException for handshake failure events.
Modifications:
-Update JdkAlpnSslEngine to propagate an SSLHandshakeException in the event of a failure.
Result:
Consistent usage of SSLHandshakeException during a handshake failure event.
Motivation:
Allow writing with void promise if IdleStateHandler is configured in the pipeline for read timeout events.
Modifications:
Better performance.
Result:
No more ChannelFutureListeners are created if IdleStateHandler is only configured for read timeouts allowing for writing to the channel with void promise.
Motivation:
[#3808] introduced some improvements to reduce the calls to System.nanoTime() but missed one possible optimization.
Modifications:
Only call System.nanoTime() if no reading patch is in process.
Result:
Less System.nanoTime() calls.
Motivation:
Discussion is in https://github.com/jetty-project/jetty-alpn/issues/8. The new API allows protocol negotiation to properly throw SSLHandshakeException.
Modifications:
Updated the parent pom.xml with the new version.
Result:
Upgraded alpn-api now allows throwing SSLHandshakeException.
Motivation:
We mitigate callouts to System.nanoTime() in SingleThreadEventExecutor
as it is 'relatively expensive'. On a modern system, tak translates to
about 20ns per call. With channelReadComplete() we can side-step this in
channelRead().
Modifications:
Introduce a boolean flag, which indicates that a read batch is currently
on-going, which acts as a flush guard for lastReadTime. Update
lastReadTime in channelReadComplete() just before setting the flag to
false. We set the flag to true in channelRead().
The periodic task examines the flag, and if it observes it to be true,
it will reschedule the task for the full duration. If it observes as
false, it will read lastReadTime and adjust the delay accordingly.
Result:
ReadTimeoutHandler calls System.nanoTime() only once per read batch.
Motivation:
At the moment hostname verification is not supported with OpenSSLEngine.
Modifications:
- Allow to create OpenSslEngine with peerHost and peerPort informations.
- Respect endPointIdentificationAlgorithm and algorithmConstraints when set and get SSLParamaters.
Result:
hostname verification is supported now.
Motivation:
keyManager() is required on server-side, and so there is a forServer()
method for each override of keyManager(). However, one of the
forServer() overrides was missing, which meant that if you wanted to use
a KeyManagerFactory you were forced to provide garbage configuration
just to get past null checks.
Modifications:
Add missing override.
Result:
No hacks to use SslContextBuilder on server-side with KeyManagerFactory.
Resolves#3775
Motivation:
To prevent from DOS attacks it can be useful to disable remote initiated renegotiation.
Modifications:
Add new flag to OpenSslContext that can be used to disable it
Adding a testcase
Result:
Remote initiated renegotion requests can be disabled now.
Motivation:
In the SslHandler we schedule a timeout at which we close the Channel if a timeout was detected during close_notify. Because this can race with notify the flushFuture we can see an IllegalStateException when the Channel is closed.
Modifications:
- Use a trySuccess() and tryFailure(...) to guard against race.
Result:
No more race.
Motivation:
Currently mutual auth is not supported when using OpenSslEngine.
Modification:
- Add support to OpenSslClientContext
- Correctly throw SSLHandshakeException when an error during handshake is detected
Result:
Mutual auth can be used with OpenSslEngine
Motivation:
Our automatically handling of non-auto-read failed because it not detected the need of calling read again by itself if nothing was decoded. Beside this handling of non-auto-read never worked for SslHandler as it always triggered a read even if it decoded a message and auto-read was false.
This fixes [#3529] and [#3587].
Modifications:
- Implement handling of calling read when nothing was decoded (with non-auto-read) to ByteToMessageDecoder again
- Correctly respect non-auto-read by SslHandler
Result:
No more stales and correctly respecting of non-auto-read by SslHandler.
Motivation:
Unnecessary object allocation is currently done during wrap/unwrap while a handshake is still in progress.
Modifications:
Use static instances when possible.
Result:
Less object creations.
Motivation:
Sometimes it's useful to get informations about the available OpenSSL library that is used for the OpenSslEngine.
Modifications:
Add two new methods which allows to get the available OpenSSL version as either
an int or an String.
Result:
Easy to access details about OpenSSL version.
Motivation:
Sometimes it's useful to use EC keys and not DSA or RSA. We should support it.
Modifications:
Support EC keys and share the code between JDK and Openssl impl.
Result:
It's possible to use EC keys now.
Motivation:
SslContext factory methods have gotten out of control; it's past time to
swap to a builder.
Modifications:
New Builder class. The existing factory methods must be left as-is for
backward compatibility.
Result:
Fixes#3531
Motivation:
To support HTTP2 we need APLN support. This was not provided before when using OpenSslEngine, so SSLEngine (JDK one) was the only bet.
Beside this CipherSuiteFilter was not supported
Modifications:
- Upgrade netty-tcnative and make use of new features to support ALPN and NPN in server and client mode.
- Guard against segfaults after the ssl pointer is freed
- support correctly different failure behaviours
- add support for CipherSuiteFilter
Result:
Be able to use OpenSslEngine for ALPN / NPN for server and client.
In TrafficCounter, a recent change makes the contract of the API (the
constructor) wrong and lead to issue with GlobalChannelTrafficCounter
where executor must be null.
Motivation:
TrafficCounter executor argument in constructor might be null, as
explained in the API, for some particular cases where no executor are
needed (relevant tasks being taken by the caller as in
GlobalChannelTrafficCounter).
A null pointer exception is raised while it should not since it is
legal.
Modifications:
Remove the 2 null checking for this particular attribute.
Note that when null, the attribute is not reached nor used (a null
checking condition later on is applied).
Result:
No more null exception raized while it should not.
This shall be made also to 4.0, 4.1 (present) and master. 3.10 is not
concerned.
Related: #3567
Motivation:
SslHandler.channelReadComplete() forgets to call
super.channelReadComplete(), which discards read bytes from the
cumulative buffer. As a result, the cumulative buffer can expand its
capacity unboundedly.
Modifications:
Call super.channelReadComplete() instead of calling
ctx.fireChannelReadComplete()
Result:
Fixes#3567
Motivation:
LoggingHandlerTest sometimes failure due to unexpected log messages
logged due to the automatic reclaimation of thread-local objects.
Expectation failure on verify:
Appender.doAppend([DEBUG] Freed 3 thread-local buffer(s) from thread: nioEventLoopGroup-23-0): expected: 1, actual: 0
Appender.doAppend([DEBUG] Freed 9 thread-local buffer(s) from thread: nioEventLoopGroup-23-1): expected: 1, actual: 0
Appender.doAppend([DEBUG] Freed 2 thread-local buffer(s) from thread: nioEventLoopGroup-23-2): expected: 1, actual: 0
Appender.doAppend([DEBUG] Freed 4 thread-local buffer(s) from thread: nioEventLoopGroup-26-0): expected: 1, actual: 0
Appender.doAppend(matchesLog(expected: ".+CLOSE$", got: "[id: 0xembedded, embedded => embedded] CLOSE")): expected: 1, actual: 0
Modifications:
Add the mock appender to the related logger only
Result:
No more intermittent test failures
Related: #3368
Motivation:
ChunkedWriteHandler checks if the return value of
ChunkedInput.isEndOfInput() after calling ChunkedInput.close().
This makes ChunkedStream.isEndOfInput() trigger an IOException, which is
originally triggered by PushBackInputStream.read().
By contract, ChunkedInput.isEndOfInput() should not raise an IOException
even when the underlying stream is closed.
Modifications:
Add a boolean flag that keeps track of whether the underlying stream has
been closed or not, so that ChunkedStream.isEndOfInput() does not
propagate the IOException from PushBackInputStream.
Result:
Fixes#3368
Motivation:
For some use cases X509ExtendedTrustManager is needed as it allows to also access the SslEngine during validation.
Modifications:
Add support for X509ExtendedTrustManager on java >= 7
Result:
It's now possible to use X509ExtendedTrustManager with OpenSslEngine
Motivation:
The Http2FrameLogger is currently using the internal logging classes. We should change this so that it's using the public classes and then converts internally.
Modifications:
Modified Http2FrameLogger and the examples to use the public LogLevel class.
Result:
Fixes#2512
Motivation:
With the current implementation the client protocol preference list
takes precedence over the one of the server, since the select method
will return the first item, in the client list, that matches any of the
protocols supported by the server. This violates the recommendation of
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7301#section-3.2.
It will also fail with the current implementation of Chrome, which
sends back Extension application_layer_protocol_negotiation, protocols:
[http/1.1, spdy/3.1, h2-14]
Modifications:
Changed the protocol negotiator to prefer server’s list. Added a test
case that demonstrates the issue and that is fixed with the
modifications of this commit.
Result:
Server’s preference list is used.
Related: #3476
Motivation:
Some users use TrafficCounter for other uses than we originally
intended, such as implementing their own traffic shaper. In such a
case, a user does not want to specify an AbstractTrafficShapingHandler.
Modifications:
- Add a new constructor that does not require an
AbstractTrafficShapingHandler, so that a user can use it without it.
- Simplify TrafficMonitoringTask
- Javadoc cleanup
Result:
We open the possibility of using TrafficCounter for other purposes than
just using it with AbstractTrafficShapingHandler. Eventually, we could
generalize it a little bit more, so that we can potentially use it for
other uses.
Motivation:
There are various places in OpenSslEngine wher we can do performance optimizations.
Modifications:
- Reduce JNI calls when possible
- Detect finished handshake as soon as possible
- Eliminate double calculations
- wrap multiple ByteBuffer if possible in a loop
Result:
Better performance
Motivation:
At the moment we log priming read and handshake errors via info log level and still throw a SSLException that contains the error. We should only log with debug level to generate less noise.
Modifications:
Change logging to debug level.
Result:
Less noise .
Motivation:
SonarQube (clinker.netty.io/sonar) reported a few 'critical' issues related to the OpenSslEngine.
Modifications:
- Remove potential for dereference of null variable.
- Remove duplicate null check and TODO cleanup.
Results:
Less potential for null dereference, cleaner code, and 1 less TODO.
Motivation:
SslHandler adds a pending write with an empty buffer and a VoidChannelPromise when a user flush and not pending writes are currently stored. This may produce an IllegalStateException later if the user try to add a ChannelFutureListener to the promise in the next ChannelOutboundHandler.
Modifications:
Replace ctx.voidPromise() with ctx.newPromise()
Result:
No more IllegalStateException possible
Motivation:
SSLEngine specifies that IllegalArgumentException must be thrown if a null argument is given when using wrap(...) or unwrap(...).
Modifications:
Replace NullPointerException with IllegalArgumentException to match the javadocs.
Result:
Match the javadocs.
Motivation:
We failed to correctly calculate the endOffset when wrap multiple ByteBuffer and so not wrapped everything when an offset > 0 is used.
Modifications:
Correctly calculate endOffset.
Result:
All ByteBuffers are correctly wrapped when offset > 0.
Motivation:
When SslHandler.unwrap() copies SSL records into a heap buffer, it does
not update the start offset, causing IndexOutOfBoundsException.
Modifications:
- Copy to a heap buffer before calling unwrap() for simplicity
- Do not copy an empty buffer to a heap buffer.
- unwrap(... EMPTY_BUFFER ...) never involves copying now.
- Use better parameter names for unwrap()
- Clean-up log messages
Result:
- Bugs fixed
- Cleaner code
Motivation:
When using OpenSslEngine with the SslHandler it is possible to reduce memory copies by unwrap(...) multiple ByteBuffers at the same time. This way we can eliminate a memory copy that is needed otherwise to cumulate partial received data.
Modifications:
- Add OpenSslEngine.unwrap(ByteBuffer[],...) method that can be used to unwrap multiple src ByteBuffer a the same time
- Use a CompositeByteBuffer in SslHandler for inbound data so we not need to memory copy
- Add OpenSslEngine.unwrap(ByteBuffer[],...) in SslHandler if OpenSslEngine is used and the inbound ByteBuf is backed by more then one ByteBuffer
- Reduce object allocation
Result:
SslHandler is faster when using OpenSslEngine and produce less GC
Motivation:
Currently when there are bytes left in the cumulation buffer we do a byte copy to produce the input buffer for the decode method. This can put quite some overhead on the impl.
Modification:
- Use a CompositeByteBuf to eliminate the byte copy.
- Allow to specify if a CompositeBytebug should be used or not as some handlers can only act on one ByteBuffer in an efficient way (like SslHandler :( ).
Result:
Performance improvement as shown in the following benchmark.

Motivation:
When a user sees an error message, sometimes he or she does not know
what exactly he or she has to do to fix the problem.
Modifications:
Log the URL of the wiki pages that might help the user troubleshoot.
Result:
We are more friendly.
Motivation:
When a user deliberatively omitted netty-tcnative from classpath, he or
she will see an ugly stack trace of ClassNotFoundException.
Modifications:
Log more briefly when netty-tcnative is not in classpath.
Result:
Better-looking log at DEBUG level
Motivation:
- There's no point of pre-population.
- Waste of memory and time because they are going to be cached lazily
- Some pre-populated cipher suites are ancient and will be unused
Modification:
- Remove cache pre-population
Result:
Sanity restored
Motivation:
Calling JNI methods is pretty expensive, so we should only do if needed.
Modifications:
Lazy call methods if needed.
Result:
Better performance.
Motivation:
SSL_set_cipher_list() in OpenSSL does not fail as long as at least one
cipher suite is available. It is different from the semantics of
SSLEngine.setEnabledCipherSuites(), which raises an exception when the
list contains an unavailable cipher suite.
Modifications:
- Add OpenSsl.isCipherSuiteAvailable(String) which checks the
availability of a cipher suite
- Raise an IllegalArgumentException when the specified cipher suite is
not available
Result:
Fixed compatibility
Motivation:
To make OpenSslEngine a full drop-in replacement, we need to implement
getSupportedCipherSuites() and get/setEnabledCipherSuites().
Modifications:
- Retrieve the list of the available cipher suites when initializing
OpenSsl.
- Improve CipherSuiteConverter to understand SRP
- Add more test data to CipherSuiteConverterTest
- Add bulk-conversion method to CipherSuiteConverter
Result:
OpenSslEngine should now be a drop-in replacement for JDK SSLEngineImpl
for most cases.
Related: #3285
Motivation:
When a user attempts to switch from JdkSslContext to OpenSslContext, he
or she will see the initialization failure if he or she specified custom
cipher suites.
Modifications:
- Provide a utility class that converts between Java cipher suite string
and OpenSSL cipher suite string
- Attempt to convert the cipher suite so that a user can use the cipher
suite string format of Java regardless of the chosen SslContext impl
Result:
- It is possible to convert all known cipher suite strings.
- It is possible to switch from JdkSslContext and OpenSslContext and
vice versa without any configuration changes
Motivation:
Several issues were shown by various ticket (#2900#2956).
Also use the improvement on writability user management from #3036.
And finally add a mixte handler, both for Global and Channels, with
the advantages of being uniquely created and using less memory and
less shaping.
Issue #2900
When a huge amount of data are written, the current behavior of the
TrafficShaping handler is to limit the delay to 15s, whatever the delay
the previous write has. This is wrong, and when a huge amount of writes
are done in a short time, the traffic is not correctly shapened.
Moreover, there is a high risk of OOM if one is not using in his/her own
handler for instance ChannelFuture.addListener() to handle the write
bufferisation in the TrafficShapingHandler.
This fix use the "user-defined writability flags" from #3036 to
allow the TrafficShapingHandlers to "user-defined" managed writability
directly, as for reading, thus using the default isWritable() and
channelWritabilityChanged().
This allows for instance HttpChunkedInput to be fully compatible.
The "bandwidth" compute on write is only on "acquired" write orders, not
on "real" write orders, which is wrong from statistic point of view.
Issue #2956
When using GlobalTrafficShaping, every write (and read) are
synchronized, thus leading to a drop of performance.
ChannelTrafficShaping is not touched by this issue since synchronized is
then correct (handler is per channel, so the synchronized).
Modifications:
The current write delay computation takes into account the previous
write delay and time to check is the 15s delay (maxTime) is really
exceeded or not (using last scheduled write time). The algorithm is
simplified and in the same time more accurate.
This proposal uses the #3036 improvement on user-defined writability
flags.
When the real write occurs, the statistics are update accordingly on a
new attribute (getRealWriteThroughput()).
To limit the synchronisations, all synchronized on
GlobalTrafficShapingHandler on submitWrite were removed. They are
replaced with a lock per channel (since synchronization is still needed
to prevent unordered write per channel), as in the sendAllValid method
for the very same reason.
Also all synchronized on TrafficCounter on read/writeTimeToWait() are
removed as they are unnecessary since already locked before by the
caller.
Still the creation and remove operations on lock per channel (PerChannel
object) are synchronized to prevent concurrency issue on this critical
part, but then limited.
Additionnal changes:
1) Use System.nanoTime() instead of System.currentTimeMillis() and
minimize calls
2) Remove / 10 ° 10 since no more sleep usage
3) Use nanoTime instead of currentTime such that time spend is computed,
not real time clock. Therefore the "now" relative time (nanoTime based)
is passed on all sub methods.
4) Take care of removal of the handler to force write all pending writes
and release read too
8) Review Javadoc to explicit:
- recommandations to take into account isWritable
- recommandations to provide reasonable message size according to
traffic shaping limit
- explicit "best effort" traffic shaping behavior when changing
configuration dynamically
Add a MixteGlobalChannelTrafficShapingHandler which allows to use only one
handler for mixing Global and Channel TSH. I enables to save more memory and
tries to optimize the traffic among various channels.
Result:
The traffic shaping is more stable, even with a huge number of writes in
short time by taking into consideration last scheduled write time.
The current implementation of TrafficShapingHandler using user-defined
writability flags and default isWritable() and
fireChannelWritabilityChanged works as expected.
The statistics are more valuable (asked write vs real write).
The Global TrafficShapingHandler should now have less "global"
synchronization, hoping to the minimum, but still per Channel as needed.
The GlobalChannel TrafficShapingHandler allows to have only one handler for all channels while still offering per channel in addition to global traffic shaping.
And finally maintain backward compatibility.
Motivation:
Openssl supports the SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context function to limit for which context a session can be used. We should support this.
Modifications:
Add OpenSslServerSessionContext that exposes a setSessionIdContext(...) method now.
Result:
It's now possible to use SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context.
Motivation:
It is sometimes useful to enable / disable the session cache.
Modifications:
* Add OpenSslSessionContext.setSessionCacheEnabled(...) and isSessionCacheEnabled()
Result:
It is now possible to enable / disable cache on the fly
Motivation:
To be compatible with SSLEngine we need to support enable / disable procols on the OpenSslEngine
Modifications:
Implement OpenSslEngine.getSupportedProtocols() , getEnabledProtocols() and setEnabledProtocols(...)
Result:
Better compability with SSLEngine
Motivation:
The current implementation not returns the real session as byte[] representation.
Modifications:
Create a proper Openssl.SSLSession.get() implementation which returns the real session as byte[].
Result:
More correct implementation
Motivation:
At the moment it is not possible to make use of the session cache when OpenSsl is used. This should be possible when server mode is used.
Modifications:
- Add OpenSslSessionContext (implements SSLSessionContext) which exposes all the methods to modify the session cache.
- Add various extra methods to OpenSslSessionContext for extra functionality
- Return OpenSslSessionContext when OpenSslEngine.getSession().getContext() is called.
- Add sessionContext() to SslContext
- Move OpenSsl specific session operations to OpenSslSessionContext and mark the old methods @deprecated
Result:
It's now possible to use session cache with OpenSsl
Motivation:
ProxyHandlerTest fails with NoClassDefFoundError raised by
SslContext.newClientContext().
Modifications:
Fix a missing 'return' statement that makes the switch-case block fall
through unncecessarily
Result:
- ProxyHandlerTest does not fail anymore.
- SslContext.newClientContext() does not raise NoClassDefFoundError
anymore.
Motivation:
At the moment we use SSL.getLastError() in unwrap(...) to check for error. This is very inefficient as it creates a new String for each check and we also use a String.startsWith(...) to detect if there was an error we need to handle.
Modifications:
Use SSL.getLastErrorNumber() to detect if we need to handle an error, as this only returns a long and so no String creation happens. Also the detection is much cheaper as we can now only compare longs. Once an error is detected the lately SSL.getErrorString(long) is used to conver the error number to a String and include it in log and exception message.
Result:
Performance improvements in OpenSslEngine.unwrap(...) due less object allocation and also faster comparations.
Motivation:
As we now support OpenSslEngine for client side, we should use it when avaible.
Modifications:
Use SslProvider.OPENSSL when openssl can be found
Result:
OpenSslEngine is used whenever possible
Motivation:
When using client auth it is sometimes needed to use a custom TrustManagerFactory.
Modifications:
Allow to pass in TrustManagerFactory
Result:
It's now possible to use custom TrustManagerFactories for JdkSslServerContext and OpenSslServerContext
Motivation:
To make OpenSsl*Context a drop in replacement for JdkSsl*Context we need to use TrustManager.
Modifications:
Correctly hook in the TrustManager
Result:
Better compatibility
Motivation:
At the moment there is no way to enable client authentication when using OpenSslEngine. This limits the uses of OpenSslEngine.
Modifications:
Add support for different authentication modes.
Result:
OpenSslEngine can now also be used when client authenticiation is needed.
Motivation:
The current SSLSession implementation used by OpenSslEngine does not support various operations and so may not be a good replacement by the SSLEngine provided by the JDK implementation.
Modifications:
- Add SSLSession.getCreationTime()
- Add SSLSession.getLastAccessedTime()
- Add SSLSession.putValue(...), getValue(...), removeValue(...), getValueNames()
- Add correct SSLSession.getProtocol()
- Ensure OpenSSLEngine.getSession() is thread-safe
- Use optimized AtomicIntegerFieldUpdater when possible
Result:
More complete OpenSslEngine SSLSession implementation
Motivation:
We only support openssl for server side at the moment but it would be also useful for client side.
Modification:
* Upgrade to new netty-tcnative snapshot to support client side openssl support
* Add OpenSslClientContext which can be used to create SslEngine for client side usage
* Factor out common logic between OpenSslClientContext and OpenSslServerContent into new abstract base class called OpenSslContext
* Correctly detect handshake failures as soon as possible
* Guard against segfault caused by multiple calls to destroyPools(). This can happen if OpenSslContext throws an exception in the constructor and the finalize() method is called later during GC
Result:
openssl can be used for client and servers now.
Motivation:
SslHandler.wrap(...) does a poor job when handling CompositeByteBuf as it always call ByteBuf.nioBuffer() which will do a memory copy when a CompositeByteBuf is used that is backed by multiple ByteBuf.
Modifications:
- Use SslEngine.wrap(ByteBuffer[]...) to allow wrap CompositeByteBuf in an efficient manner
- Reduce object allocation in unwrapNonAppData(...)
Result:
Performance improvement when a CompositeByteBuf is written and the SslHandler is in the ChannelPipeline.
Motivation:
When a remote peer did open a connection and only do the handshake without sending any data and then directly close the connection we did not call shutdown() in the OpenSslEngine. This leads to a native memory leak. Beside this it also was not fireed when a OpenSslEngine was created but never used.
Modifications:
- Make sure shutdown() is called in all cases when closeInbound() is called
- Call shutdown() also in the finalize() method to ensure we release native memory when the OpenSslEngine is GC'ed
Result:
No more memory leak when using OpenSslEngine
Related:
e9685ea45a
Motivation:
SslHandler.unwrap() does not evaluate the handshake status of
SSLEngine.unwrap() when the status of SSLEngine.unwrap() is CLOSED.
It is not correct because the status does not reflect the state of the
handshake currently in progress, accoding to the API documentation of
SSLEngineResult.Status.
Also, sslCloseFuture can be notified earlier than handshake notification
because we call sslCloseFuture.trySuccess() before evaluating handshake
status.
Modifications:
- Notify sslCloseFuture after the unwrap loop is finished
- Add more assertions to SocketSslEchoTest
Result:
Potentially fix the regression caused by:
- e9685ea45a
Related: #2958
Motivation:
SslHandler currently does not issue a read() request when it is
handshaking. It makes a connection with autoRead off stall, because a
user's read() request can be used to read the handshake response which
is invisible to the user.
Modifications:
- SslHandler now issues a read() request when:
- the current handshake is in progress and channelReadComplete() is
invoked
- the current handshake is complete and a user issued a read() request
during handshake
- Rename flushedBeforeHandshakeDone to flushedBeforeHandshake for
consistency with the new variable 'readDuringHandshake'
Result:
SslHandler should work regardless whether autoRead is on or off.
Related: #3125
Motivation:
We did not expose a way to initiate TLS renegotiation and to get
notified when the renegotiation is done.
Modifications:
- Add SslHandler.renegotiate() so that a user can initiate TLS
renegotiation and get the future that's notified on completion
- Make SslHandler.handshakeFuture() return the future for the most
recent handshake so that a user can get the future of the last
renegotiation
- Add the test for renegotiation to SocketSslEchoTest
Result:
Both client-initiated and server-initiated renegotiations are now
supported properly.
Related: #3219
Motivation:
ChunkedWriteHandler.flush() does not call ctx.flush() when channel is
not writable. This can be a problem when other handler / non-Netty
thread writes messages simultaneously, because
ChunkedWriteHandler.flush() might have no chance to observe
channel.isWritable() returns true and thus the channel is never flushed.
Modifications:
- Ensure that ChunkedWriteHandler.flush() calls ctx.flush() at least
once.
Result:
A stall connection issue, that occurs when certain combination of
handlers exist in a pipeline, has been fixed. (e.g. SslHandler and
ChunkedWriteHandler)
- Parameterize DomainNameMapping to make it useful for other use cases
than just mapping to SslContext
- Move DomainNameMapping to io.netty.util
- Clean-up the API documentation
- Make SniHandler.hostname and sslContext volatile because they can be
accessed by non-I/O threads
Motivation:
We use 3 (!) libraries to build mock objects - easymock, mockito, jmock.
Mockito and jMock pulls in the different versions of Hamcrest, and it
conflicts with the version pulled by jUnit.
Modifications:
- Replace mockito-all with mockito-core to avoid pulling in outdated
jUnit and Hamcrest
- Exclude junit-dep when pulling in jmock-junit4, because it pulls an
outdated Hamcrest version
- Pull in the hamcrest-library version used by jUnit explicitly
Result:
No more dependency hell that results in NoSuchMethodError during the
tests
Motivation:
When we need to host multiple server name with a single IP, it requires
the server to support Server Name Indication extension to serve clients
with proper certificate. So the SniHandler will host multiple
SslContext(s) and append SslHandler for requested hostname.
Modification:
* Added SniHandler to host multiple certifications in a single server
* Test case
Result:
User could use SniHandler to host multiple certifcates at a time.
It's server-side only.
Motivation:
JdkSslContext used SSL_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA in its cipher suite list.
OpenSslServerContext used DES-CBC3-SHA in the same place in its cipher suite
list, which is equivalent to SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA.
This means the lists were out of sync. Furthermore, using
SSL_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA is not desirable as it uses DES, a weak cipher. Triple
DES should be used instead.
Modifications:
Replace SSL_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA with SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA in
JdkSslContext.
Result:
The JdkSslContext and OpenSslServerContext cipher suite lists are now in sync.
Triple DES is used instead of DES, which is stronger.
Motivation:
RC4 is not a recommended cipher suite anymore, as the recent research
reveals, such as:
- http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
Modifications:
- Remove most RC4 cipher suites from the default cipher suites
- For backward compatibility, leave RC4-SHA, while de-prioritizing it
Result:
Potentially safer default
Motivation:
Found performance issues via FindBugs and PMD.
Modifications:
- Removed unnecessary boxing/unboxing operations in DefaultTextHeaders.convertToInt(CharSequence) and DefaultTextHeaders.convertToLong(CharSequence). A boxed primitive is created from a string, just to extract the unboxed primitive value.
- Added a static modifier for DefaultHttp2Connection.ParentChangedEvent class. This class is an inner class, but does not use its embedded reference to the object which created it. This reference makes the instances of the class larger, and may keep the reference to the creator object alive longer than necessary.
- Added a static compiled Pattern to avoid compile it each time it is used when we need to replace some part of authority.
- Improved using of StringBuilders.
Result:
Performance improvements.
Motivation:
When ALPN/NPN is disabled, a user has to instantiate a new
ApplicationProtocolConfig with meaningless parameters.
Modifications:
- Add ApplicationProtocolConfig.DISABLED, the singleton instance
- Reject the constructor calls with Protocol.NONE, which doesn't make
much sense because a user should use DISABLED instead.
Result:
More user-friendly API when ALPN/NPN is not needed by a user.
Motivation:
Previous backport removed the old methods and constructors. They should
not be removed in 4.x but just deprecated in favor of the new methods
and constructors.
Modifications:
Add back the removed methods and constructors in SslContext and its
subtypes for backward compatibility.
Result:
Backward compatibility issues fixed.
Motivation:
Improvements were made on the main line to support ALPN and mutual
authentication for TLS. These should be backported.
Modifications:
- Backport commits from the master branch
- f8af84d599
- e74c8edba3
Result:
Support for ALPN and mutual authentication.
Motivation:
The SslHandler currently forces the use of a direct buffer for the input to the SSLEngine.wrap(..) operation. This allocation may not always be desired and should be conditionally done.
Modifications:
- Use the pre-existing wantsDirectBuffer variable as the condition to do the conversion.
Result:
- An allocation of a direct byte buffer and a copy of data is now not required for every SslHandler wrap operation.
Motivation:
The SslHandler wrap method requires that a direct buffer be passed to the SSLEngine.wrap() call. If the ByteBuf parameter does not have an underlying direct buffer then one is allocated in this method, but it is not released.
Modifications:
- Release the direct ByteBuffer only accessible in the scope of SslHandler.wrap
Result:
Memory leak in SslHandler.wrap is fixed.
Motivation:
Currently the last read/write throughput is calculated by first division,this will be 0 if the last read/write bytes < interval,change the order will get the correct result
Modifications:
Change the operator order from first do division to multiplication
Result:
Get the correct result instead of 0 when bytes are smaller than interval
Motivation:
handlerAdded and handlerRemoved were overriden but super was never
called, while it should.
Also add one missing information in the toString method.
Modifications:
Add the super corresponding call, and add checkInterval to the
toString() method
Result;
super method calls are correctly passed to the super implementation
part.
Motivation:
When constructing a FingerprintTrustManagerFactory from an Iterable of Strings, the fingerprints were correctly parsed but never added to the result array. The constructed FingerprintTrustManagerFactory consequently fails to validate any certificate.
Modifications:
I added a line to add each converted SHA-1 certificate fingerprint to the result array which then gets passed on to the next constructor.
Result:
Certificate fingerprints passed to the constructor are now correctly added to the array of valid fingerprints. The resulting FingerprintTrustManagerFactory object correctly validates certificates against the list of specified fingerprints.
Motivation:
In GitHub issue #2767 a bug was reported that the IPv4
default route leads to the ipfilter package denying
instead of accepting all addresses.
While the issue was reported for Netty 3.9, this bug
also applies to Netty 4 and higher.
Modifications:
When computing the subnet address from the CIDR prefix,
correctly handle the case where the prefix is set to zero.
Result:
Ipfilter accepts all addresses when passed the
IPv4 default route.
Related issue: #2741 and #2151
Motivation:
There is no way for ChunkedWriteHandler to know the progress of the
transfer of a ChannelInput. Therefore, ChannelProgressiveFutureListener
cannot get exact information about the progress of the transfer.
If you add a few methods that optionally provides the transfer progress
to ChannelInput, it becomes possible for ChunkedWriteHandler to notify
ChannelProgressiveFutureListeners.
If the input has no definite length, we can still use the progress so
far, and consider the length of the input as 'undefined'.
Modifications:
- Add ChunkedInput.progress() and ChunkedInput.length()
- Modify ChunkedWriteHandler to use progress() and length() to notify
the transfer progress
Result:
ChunkedWriteHandler now notifies ChannelProgressiveFutureListener.
Motivation:
Currently Traffic Shaping is using 1 timer only and could lead to
"partial" wrong bandwidth computation when "short" time occurs between
adding used bytes and when the TrafficCounter updates itself and finally
when the traffic is computed.
Indeed, the TrafficCounter is updated every x delay and it is at the
same time saved into "lastXxxxBytes" and set to 0. Therefore, when one
request the counter, it first updates the TrafficCounter with the added
used bytes. If this value is set just before the TrafficCounter is
updated, then the bandwidth computation will use the TrafficCounter with
a "0" value (this value being reset once the delay occurs). Therefore,
the traffic shaping computation is wrong in rare cases.
Secondly the traffic shapping should avoid if possible the "Timeout"
effect by not stopping reading or writing more than a maxTime, this
maxTime being less than the TimeOut limit.
Thirdly the traffic shapping in read had an issue since the readOp
was not set but should, turning in no read blocking from socket
point of view.
Modifications:
The TrafficCounter has 2 new methods that compute the time to wait
according to read or write) using in priority the currentXxxxBytes (as
before), but could used (if current is at 0) the lastXxxxxBytes, and
therefore having more chance to take into account the real traffic.
Moreover the Handler could change the default "max time to wait", which
is by default set to half of "standard" Time Out (30s:2 = 15s).
Finally we add the setAutoRead(boolean) accordingly to the situation,
as proposed in #2696 (this pull request is in error for unknown reason).
Result:
The Traffic Shaping is better take into account (no 0 value when it
shouldn't) and it tries to not block traffic more than Time Out event.
Moreover the read is really stopped from socket point of view.
This version is similar to #2388 and #2450.
This version is for V4.1, and includes the #2696 pull request
to ease the merge process.
It is compatible with master too.
Including also #2748
The test minimizes time check by reducing to 66ms steps (55s).
Motivation:
Sometimes ChannelHandler need to queue writes to some point and then process these. We currently have no datastructure for this so the user will use an Queue or something like this. The problem is with this Channel.isWritable() will not work as expected and so the user risk to write to fast. That's exactly what happened in our SslHandler. For this purpose we need to add a special datastructure which will also take care of update the Channel and so be sure that Channel.isWritable() works as expected.
Modifications:
- Add PendingWriteQueue which can be used for this purpose
- Make use of PendingWriteQueue in SslHandler
Result:
It is now possible to queue writes in a ChannelHandler and still have Channel.isWritable() working as expected. This also fixes#2752.
Motivation:
Currently it is not possible to load an encrypted private key when
creating a JDK based SSL server context.
Modifications:
- Added static method to JdkSslServerContext which handles key spec generation for (encrypted) private keys and make use of it.
-Added tests for creating a SSL server context based on a (encrypted)
private key.
Result:
It is now possible to create a JDK based SSL server context with an
encrypted (password protected) private key.
Motivation:
Message from FindBugs:
This method performs synchronization an object that is an instance of a class from the java.util.concurrent package (or its subclasses). Instances of these classes have their own concurrency control mechanisms that are orthogonal to the synchronization provided by the Java keyword synchronized. For example, synchronizing on an AtomicBoolean will not prevent other threads from modifying the AtomicBoolean.
Such code may be correct, but should be carefully reviewed and documented, and may confuse people who have to maintain the code at a later date.
Modification:
Use synchronized(this)
Result:
Less confusing code
Motivation:
Now Netty has a few problems with null values.
Modifications:
- Check HAProxyProxiedProtocol in HAProxyMessage constructor and throw NPE if it is null.
If HAProxyProxiedProtocol is null we will set AddressFamily as null. So we will get NPE inside checkAddress(String, AddressFamily) and it won't be easy to understand why addrFamily is null.
- Check File in DiskFileUpload.toString().
If File is null we will get NPE when calling toString() method.
- Check Result<String> in MqttDecoder.decodeConnectionPayload(...).
If !mqttConnectVariableHeader.isWillFlag() || !mqttConnectVariableHeader.hasUserName() || !mqttConnectVariableHeader.hasPassword() we will get NPE when we will try to create new instance of MqttConnectPayload.
- Check Unsafe before calling unsafe.getClass() in PlatformDependent0 static block.
- Removed unnecessary null check in WebSocket08FrameEncoder.encode(...).
Because msg.content() can not return null.
- Removed unnecessary null check in DefaultStompFrame(StompCommand) constructor.
Because we have this check in the super class.
- Removed unnecessary null checks in ConcurrentHashMapV8.removeTreeNode(TreeNode<K,V>).
- Removed unnecessary null check in OioDatagramChannel.doReadMessages(List<Object>).
Because tmpPacket.getSocketAddress() always returns new SocketAddress instance.
- Removed unnecessary null check in OioServerSocketChannel.doReadMessages(List<Object>).
Because socket.accept() always returns new Socket instance.
- Pass Unpooled.buffer(0) instead of null inside CloseWebSocketFrame(boolean, int) constructor.
If we will pass null we will get NPE in super class constructor.
- Added throw new IllegalStateException in GlobalEventExecutor.awaitInactivity(long, TimeUnit) if it will be called before GlobalEventExecutor.execute(Runnable).
Because now we will get NPE. IllegalStateException will be better in this case.
- Fixed null check in OpenSslServerContext.setTicketKeys(byte[]).
Now we throw new NPE if byte[] is not null.
Result:
Added new null checks when it is necessary, removed unnecessary null checks and fixed some NPE problems.
Motivation:
There is no way for a ChannelHandler to check if the passed in ChannelPromise for a write(...) call is a VoidChannelPromise. This is a problem as some handlers need to add listeners to the ChannelPromise which is not possible in the case of a VoidChannelPromise.
Modification:
- Introduce ChannelFuture.isVoid() which will return true if it is not possible to add listeners or wait on the result.
- Add ChannelPromise.unvoid() which allows to create a ChannelFuture out of a void ChannelFuture which supports all the operations.
Result:
It's now easy to write ChannelHandler implementations which also works when a void ChannelPromise is used.
Motivation:
When Netty runs in a managed environment such as web application server,
Netty needs to provide an explicit way to remove the thread-local
variables it created to prevent class loader leaks.
FastThreadLocal uses different execution paths for storing a
thread-local variable depending on the type of the current thread.
It increases the complexity of thread-local removal.
Modifications:
- Moved FastThreadLocal and FastThreadLocalThread out of the internal
package so that a user can use it.
- FastThreadLocal now keeps track of all thread local variables it has
initialized, and calling FastThreadLocal.removeAll() will remove all
thread-local variables of the caller thread.
- Added FastThreadLocal.size() for diagnostics and tests
- Introduce InternalThreadLocalMap which is a mixture of hard-wired
thread local variable fields and extensible indexed variables
- FastThreadLocal now uses InternalThreadLocalMap to implement a
thread-local variable.
- Added ThreadDeathWatcher.unwatch() so that PooledByteBufAllocator
tells it to stop watching when its thread-local cache has been freed
by FastThreadLocal.removeAll().
- Added FastThreadLocalTest to ensure that removeAll() works
- Added microbenchmark for FastThreadLocal and JDK ThreadLocal
- Upgraded to JMH 0.9
Result:
- A user can remove all thread-local variables Netty created, as long as
he or she did not exit from the current thread. (Note that there's no
way to remove a thread-local variable from outside of the thread.)
- FastThreadLocal exposes more useful operations such as isSet() because
we always implement a thread local variable via InternalThreadLocalMap
instead of falling back to JDK ThreadLocal.
- FastThreadLocalBenchmark shows that this change improves the
performance of FastThreadLocal even more.
Motivation:
Provide a faster ThreadLocal implementation
Modification:
Add a "FastThreadLocal" which uses an EnumMap and a predefined fixed set of possible thread locals (all of the static instances created by netty) that is around 10-20% faster than standard ThreadLocal in my benchmarks (and can be seen having an effect in the direct PooledByteBufAllocator benchmark that uses the DEFAULT ByteBufAllocator which uses this FastThreadLocal, as opposed to normal instantiations that do not, and in the new RecyclableArrayList benchmark);
Result:
Improved performance
Motivation:
ChannelTrafficShapingHandler may corrupt inbound data stream by
scheduling the fireChannelRead event.
Modification:
Always call fireChannelRead(...) and only suspend reads after it
Result:
No more data corruption
Motivation:
According to TLS ALPN draft-05, a client sends the list of the supported
protocols and a server responds with the selected protocol, which is
different from NPN. Therefore, ApplicationProtocolSelector won't work
with ALPN
Modifications:
- Use Iterable<String> to list the supported protocols on the client
side, rather than using ApplicationProtocolSelector
- Remove ApplicationProtocolSelector
Result:
Future compatibility with TLS ALPN
Motivation:
- OpenSslEngine and JDK SSLEngine (+ Jetty NPN) have different APIs to
support NextProtoNego extension.
- It is impossible to configure NPN with SslContext when the provider
type is JDK.
Modification:
- Implement NextProtoNego extension by overriding the behavior of
SSLSession.getProtocol() for both OpenSSLEngine and JDK SSLEngine.
- SSLEngine.getProtocol() returns a string delimited by a colon (':')
where the first component is the transport protosol (e.g. TLSv1.2)
and the second component is the name of the application protocol
- Remove the direct reference of Jetty NPN classes from the examples
- Add SslContext.newApplicationProtocolSelector
Result:
- A user can now use both JDK SSLEngine and OpenSslEngine for NPN-based
protocols such as HTTP2 and SPDY
Motivation:
For an unknown reason, JVM of JDK8 crashes intermittently when
SslHandler feeds a direct buffer to SSLEngine.unwrap() *and* the current
cipher suite has GCM (Galois/Counter Mode) enabled.
Modifications:
Convert the inbound network buffer to a heap buffer when the current
cipher suite is using GCM.
Result:
JVM does not crash anymore.
Motivation:
JDK's SSLEngine.wrap() requires the output buffer to be always as large as MAX_ENCRYPTED_PACKET_LENGTH even if the input buffer contains small number of bytes. Our OpenSslEngine implementation does not have such wasteful behaviot.
Modifications:
If the current SSLEngine is OpenSslEngine, allocate as much as only needed.
Result:
Less peak memory usage.
Motivation:
Previous fix for the OpenSslEngine compatibility issue (#2216 and
18b0e95659) was to feed SSL records one by
one to OpenSslEngine.unwrap(). It is not optimal because it will result
in more JNI calls.
Modifications:
- Do not feed SSL records one by one.
- Feed as many records as possible up to MAX_ENCRYPTED_PACKET_LENGTH
- Deduplicate MAX_ENCRYPTED_PACKET_LENGTH definitions
Result:
- No allocation of intemediary arrays
- Reduced number of calls to SSLEngine and thus its underlying JNI calls
- A tad bit increase in throughput, probably reverting the tiny drop
caused by 18b0e95659
Motivation:
Some users already use an SSLEngine implementation in finagle-native. It
wraps OpenSSL to get higher SSL performance. However, to take advantage
of it, finagle-native must be compiled manually, and it means we cannot
pull it in as a dependency and thus we cannot test our SslHandler
against the OpenSSL-based SSLEngine. For an instance, we had #2216.
Because the construction procedures of JDK SSLEngine and OpenSslEngine
are very different from each other, we also need to provide a universal
way to enable SSL in a Netty application.
Modifications:
- Pull netty-tcnative in as an optional dependency.
http://netty.io/wiki/forked-tomcat-native.html
- Backport NativeLibraryLoader from 4.0
- Move OpenSSL-based SSLEngine implementation into our code base.
- Copied from finagle-native; originally written by @jpinner et al.
- Overall cleanup by @trustin.
- Run all SslHandler tests with both default SSLEngine and OpenSslEngine
- Add a unified API for creating an SSL context
- SslContext allows you to create a new SSLEngine or a new SslHandler
with your PKCS#8 key and X.509 certificate chain.
- Add JdkSslContext and its subclasses
- Add OpenSslServerContext
- Add ApplicationProtocolSelector to ensure the future support for NPN
(NextProtoNego) and ALPN (Application Layer Protocol Negotiation) on
the client-side.
- Add SimpleTrustManagerFactory to help a user write a
TrustManagerFactory easily, which should be useful for those who need
to write an alternative verification mechanism. For example, we can
use it to implement an unsafe TrustManagerFactory that accepts
self-signed certificates for testing purposes.
- Add InsecureTrustManagerFactory and FingerprintTrustManager for quick
and dirty testing
- Add SelfSignedCertificate class which generates a self-signed X.509
certificate very easily.
- Update all our examples to use SslContext.newClient/ServerContext()
- SslHandler now logs the chosen cipher suite when handshake is
finished.
Result:
- Cleaner unified API for configuring an SSL client and an SSL server
regardless of its internal implementation.
- When native libraries are available, OpenSSL-based SSLEngine
implementation is selected automatically to take advantage of its
performance benefit.
- Examples take advantage of this modification and thus are cleaner.
Motivation:
When writing data from a server before the ssl handshake completes may not be written at all to the remote peer
if nothing else is written after the handshake was done.
Modification:
Correctly try to write pending data after the handshake was complete
Result:
Correctly write out all pending data
Motivation:
As discussed in #2250, it will become much less complicated to implement
deregistration and reregistration of a channel once #2250 is resolved.
Therefore, there's no need to deprecate deregister() and
channelUnregistered().
Modification:
- Undeprecate deregister() and channelUnregistered()
- Remove SuppressWarnings annotations where applicable
Result:
We (including @jakobbuchgraber) are now ready to play with #2250 at
master
Motivation:
4 and 5 were diverged long time ago and we recently reverted some of the
early commits in master. We must make sure 4.1 and master are not very
different now.
Modification:
Fix found differences
Result:
4.1 and master got closer.
Motivation:

Modification:
Remove ChannelHandlerInvoker.writeAndFlush(...) and the related
implementations.
Result:
4.1 and master got closer.

Modification:
Fix found differences
Result:
4.1 and master got closer.
Motivation:
Some SSLEngine implementations violate the contract and raises an
exception when SslHandler feeds an input buffer that contains multiple
SSL records to SSLEngine.unwrap(), while the expected behavior is to
decode the first record and return.
Modification:
- Modify SslHandler.decode() to keep the lengths of each record and feed
SSLEngine.unwrap() record by record to work around the forementioned
issue.
- Rename unwrap() to unwrapMultiple() and unwrapNonApp()
- Rename unwrap0() to unwrapSingle()
Result:
SslHandler now works OpenSSLEngine from finagle-native. Performance
impact remains unnoticeable. Slightly better readability. Fixes#2116.
Motivation:
Some Android SSLEngine implementations skip FINISHED handshake status
and go straightly into NOT_HANDSHAKING. This behavior blocks SslHandler
from notifying its handshakeFuture, because we do the notification when
SSLEngine enters the FINISHED state.
Modification:
When the current handshake state is NOT_HANDSHAKING and the
handshakeFuture is not fulfilled yet, treat NOT_HANDSHAKING as FINISHED.
Result:
Better Android compatibility - fixes#1823
Motivation:
When using System.getProperty(...) and various methods to get a ClassLoader it will fail when a SecurityManager is in place.
Modifications:
Use a priveled block if needed. This work is based in the PR #2353 done by @anilsaldhana .
Result:
Code works also when SecurityManager is present
Motivation:
In SslHandler.safeClose(...) we attach a ChannelFutureListener to the flushFuture and will notify the ChannelPromise which was used for close(...) in it. The problem here is that we only call ChannelHandlerContext.close(ChannelPromise) if Channel.isActive() is true and otherwise not notify it at all. We should just call ChannelHandlerContext.close(ChannelPromise) in all cases.
Modifications:
Always call ChannelHandlerContext.close(ChannelPromise) in the ChannelFutureListeiner
Result:
ChannelPromise used for close the Channel is notified in all cases
Motivation:
In ChunkedWriteHandler, there is a redundant variable that servers
no purpose. It implies that under some conditions you might not want
to flush.
Modifications:
Removed the variable and the if condition that read it. The boolean
was always true so just removing the if statement was fine.
Result:
Slightly less misleading code.
Motivation:
Currently we use System.currentTimeMillis() in our timeout handlers this is bad
for various reasons like when the clock adjusts etc.
Modifications:
Replace System.currentTimeMillis() with System.nanoTime()
Result:
More robust timeout handling
Motivation:
We don't really need to propagate an event when handling the event fails.
Modifications:
Do not use finally block in AbstractRemoteAddressFilter
Result:
AbstractRemoteaddressFilter does not forward an event in case of failure.
Motivation:
Recently merged ipfilter package has the following problems:
* AbstractIpFilterHandler could be improved to support any SocketAddress types rather than only InetSocketAddress.
* AbstractIpFilterHandler can be removed immediately after decision is made rather than keeping the outcome of the decision as an attribute.
* AbstractIpFilterHandler doesn't have a hook for the accepted addresses.
* The hook method (reject()) needs to be named in line with other handler methods (i.e. channelRejected())
* IpFilterRuleHandler should allow accepting zero rules - it's particularly useful for machine-configured setup (i.e. specifying zero rules disables ipfilter).
* IpFilterRuleType.ALLOW/DENY should be ACCEPT/REJECT for consistency.
Modifications:
* AbstractIpFilterHandler has been renamed to AbstractRemoteAddressFilter and now uses type parameter.
* Added channelAccepted() and renamed reject() to channelRejected()
* Added ChannelHandlerContext as a parameter of accept() so that accept() can add a listener to the closeFuture() of the channel. This way, UniqueIpFilter continue working even if we remove the filtering handler early.
* Various renames
* IpFilterRuleHandler -> RuleBasedIpFilter
* UniqueIpFilterHandler -> UniqueIpFilter
Result:
* Much cleaner API with more extensibility
Motivation:
ChunkedWriteHandler can sometimes fail to write the last chunk of a ChunkedInput due to an I/O error. Subsequently, the ChunkedInput's associated promise is marked as failure and the connection is closed. When the connection is closed, ChunkedWriteHandler attempts to clean up its message queue and to mark their promises as success or failure. However, because the promise of the ChunkedInput, which was consumed completely yet failed to be written, is already marked as failure, the attempt to mark it as success fails, leading a WARN level log.
Modification:
Use trySuccess() instead of setSuccess() so that the attempt to mark a ChunkedInput as success does not raise an exception even if the promise is already done.
Result:
Fixes#2249
