**Motivation:**
We are interested in building Netty libraries with Ahead-of-time compilation with GraalVM. We saw there was [prior work done on this](https://github.com/netty/netty/search?q=graalvm&unscoped_q=graalvm). We want to introduce a change which will unblock GraalVM support for applications using netty and `netty-tcnative`.
This solves the error [that some others encounter](https://github.com/oracle/graal/search?q=UnsatisfiedLinkError+sslOpCipherServerPreference&type=Issues):
```
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: io.grpc.netty.shaded.io.netty.internal.tcnative.NativeStaticallyReferencedJniMethods.sslOpCipherServerPreference()I [symbol: Java_io_grpc_netty_shaded_io_netty_internal_tcnative_NativeStaticallyReferencedJniMethods_sslOpCipherServerPreference or Java_io_grpc_netty_shaded_io_netty_internal_tcnative_NativeStaticallyReferencedJniMethods_sslOpCipherServerPreference__]
```
**Modification:**
The root cause of the issue is that in the tcnative libraries, the [`SSL.java` class](783a8b6b69/openssl-dynamic/src/main/java/io/netty/internal/tcnative/SSL.java (L67)) references a native call in the static initialization of the class - the method `sslOpCipherServerPreference()` on line 67 is used to initialize the static variable. But you see that `OpenSsl` also uses[ `SSL.class` to check if `netty-tcnative` is on the classpath before loading the native library](cbe238a95b/handler/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/ssl/OpenSsl.java (L123)).
So this is the problem because in ahead-of-time compilation, when it references the SSL class, it will try to load those static initializers and make the native library call, but it cannot do so because the native library has not been loaded yet since the `SSL` class is being referenced to check if the library should be loaded in the first place.
**Solution:** So the proposed solution here is to just choose a different class in the `tcnative` package which does not make a native library call during static initialization. I just chose `SSLContext` if this is OK.
This should have no negative effects other than unblocking the GraalVM use-case.
**Result:**
It fixes the unsatisfied link error. It will fix error for future users; it is a common error people encounter.
Motivation:
There was a new netty-tcnative release which we should use. Beside this the SSLErrorTest was quite fragile and so should be adjusted.
Modifications:
Update netty-tcnative and adjust test
Result:
Use latest netty-tcnative release
Motivation:
BoringSSL behaves differently then OpenSSL and not include any TLS1.3 ciphers in the returned array when calling SSL_get_ciphers(...). This is due the fact that it also not allow to explicit configure which are supported and which not for TLS1.3. To mimic the behaviour expected by the SSLEngine API we should workaround this.
Modifications:
- Add a unit test that verifies enabled protocols / ciphers
- Add special handling for BoringSSL and tls1.3
Result:
Make behaviour consistent
Motivation:
We did not correctly preserve the original cause of the SSLException when all the following are true:
* SSL_read failed
* handshake was finished
* some outbound data was produced durigin SSL_read (for example ssl alert) that needs to be picked up by wrap(...)
Modifications:
Ensure we correctly preserve the original cause of the SSLException and rethrow it once we produced all data via wrap(...)
Result:
Be able to understand why we see an error in all cases
Motivation:
Due a bug in our test we may dropped data on the floor which are generated during handshaking (or slightly after). This could lead to corrupt state in the engine itself and so fail tests. This is especially true for TLS1.3 which generates the sessions on the server after the "actual handshake" is done.
Modifications:
Contine with wrap / unwrap until all data was consumed
Result:
Correctly feed all data to the engine during testing
Motivation:
When ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler is in the pipeline we should expect that its handshakeFailure(...) method will be able to completly handle the handshake error. At the moment this is not the case as it only handled SslHandshakeCompletionEvent but not the exceptionCaught(...) that is also triggered in this case
Modifications:
- Call handshakeFailure(...) in exceptionCaught and so fix double notification.
- Add testcases
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10342
The current FLowControlHandler keeps a flag to track whether a read() call is pending.
This could lead to a scenario where you call read multiple times when the queue is empty,
and when the FlowControlHandler Queue starts getting messages, channelRead will be fired only once,
when we should've fired x many times, once for each time the handlers downstream called read().
Modifications:
Minor change to replace the boolean flag with a counter and adding a unit test for this scenario.
Result:
I used TDD, so I wrote the test, made sure it's failing, then updated the code and re-ran the test
to make sure it's successful after the changes.

Motivation:
9b7e091 added a special SSLHandshakeException sub-class to signal handshake timeouts but we missed to update a testcase to directly assert the type of the exception.
Modifications:
Assert directly that SslHandshakeTimeoutException is used
Result:
Test cleanup
Motivation:
It seems that `testSwallowedReadComplete(...)` may fail with an AssertionError sometimes after my tests. The relevant stack trace is as follows:
```

Obviously the `readerIdleTime` of `IdleStateHandler` and the thread sleep time before `EmbeddedChannel.runPendingTasks` are both 100ms. And if `userEvents.poll()` happened before `userEvents.add(...)` or no `IdleStateEvent` fired at all, this test case would fail.
Modification:
Sleep for a little more time before running all pending tasks in the `EmbeddedChannel`.
Result:
Fix the problem of small probability of failure.
Motivation:
SslHandler currently throws a general SSLException if a wrap attempt
fails due to the SSLEngine being closed. If writes are queued the
failure rational typically requires more investigation to track down the
original failure from a previous event. We may have more informative
rational for the failure and so we should use it.
Modifications:
- SslHandler#wrap to use failure information from the handshake or prior
transport closure if available
Result:
More informative exceptions from SslHandler#wrap if the SSLEngine has
been previously closed.
Motivation:
The `FlowControlHandler` may cache the received messages in a queue in order to do the flow control. However, if this handler is manually removed from pipeline during runtime, those cached messages might not be passed to the next channel handler forever.
Modification:
Dequeue all these cached messages and call `ChannelHandlerContext.fireChannelRead(...)` in `handlerRemoved(...)` method.
Result:
Avoid losing the received messages.
Motivation:
`SslHandlerTest.testSessionTicketsWithTLSv12AndNoKey` does not require
BoringSSL and works with OpenSSL as well.
Modifications:
- Remove assume statement that expected BoringSSL;
Result:
Test works for any implementation of `OPENSSL` provider.
Motivation:
To ensure we not crash in all cases we should better check that the SSL pointer was not freed before using it.
Modifications:
Add missing `isDestroyed()` checks
Result:
Ensure we not crash due usage of freed pointer.
Motivation:
make the existing setter `ReferenceCountedOpenSslContext.setUseTasks` public
Modification:
Added the `public` qualified and removed the comment "for tests only"
Result:
Fixes#10288
Motivation:
We should respect jdk.tls.client.enableSessionTicketExtension and jdk.tls.server.enableSessionTicketExtension when using the native SSL implementation as well to make the usage of it easier and more consistent. These properties were introduced by JDK13:
https://seanjmullan.org/blog/2019/08/05/jdk13
Modifications:
Check if the properties are set to true and if so enable tickets
Result:
Easier to enable tickets and be more consistent
Motivation:
BoringSSL supports to automatically manage the session tickets to be used and so also rotate them etc. This is often prefered by users as it removed some complexity. We should support to make use of this.
Modifications:
- Allow to have setSessionTickets() called without an argument or an empty array
- Add tests
Result:
Easier usage of session tickets
Motivation:
OpenSslSession.getLocalCertificates() and getLocalPrincipal() must return null on client side if mTLS is not used as stated in the API documentation. At the moment this is not always the case
Modifications:
- Ensure we only return non-null if mTLS is used
- Add unit tests
Result:
Follow SSLSession API contract
Motivation:
EC is better than RSA because of the small key size, efficient and secure which makes it perfect for testing purposes.
Modification:
Added support to specify an algorithm (EC or RSA) in constructors for key pair generation. The default key size is 256-bits as promulgated by NSA Suite B.
Result:
Able to generate a self-signed certificate of EC or RSA.
Motivation:
We are far behind with the version of Conscrypt we are using during testing. We should ensure we use the latest.
Modifications:
- Update conscrypt dependency
- Ensure we use conscrypt provider in tests
- Add workarounds for conscrypt bugs in testsuite
Result:
Use latest Conscrypt release
Motivation:
Currently calculateSize method in AbstractTrafficShapingHandler calculates size for object of type ByteBuf or ByteBufHolder. Adding a check for FileRegion, makes it possible to do traffic shaping for FileRegion objects as well
Modification:
Check if object to be sent is of type FileRegion, if yes calculate the size using its count() method.

Motivation:
We need to make some slightly changes to be able to build on Java15 as some previous deprecated methods now throw UnsupportedOperationException
Modifications:
- Add code to handle UnsupportedOperationException
- Revert previous applied workaround for bug that was fixed in Java15
- Add maven profile
Result:
Be able to build with latest Java15 EA release
Motivation:
We should provide more informations when ALPN is not supported and a user tries to use it.
Modifications:
- Use UnsupportedOperationException
Result:
Easier to debug ALPN problems
Motivation:
ALPN support was backported to java 8 lately. Ensure we support it if the user uses the latest java 8 release
Modifications:
- Update logic to be able to detect if ALPN is supported out of the box when using Java8
- Update jetty alpn version
Result:
Be able to use ALPN out of the box when using java 8u251
Motivation:
The `AbstractTrafficShapingHandler` caches the `ReopenReadTimerTask` instance in the channel attribute. However, if this handler is removed from the channel pipeline, this `ReopenReadTimerTask` instance may not be released.
Modification:
Release the channel attribute `REOPEN_TASK` in `handlerRemoved` method.
Result:
Avoid a channel attribute leak.
Motivation:
Only cipher suite is logged during handshake. Picked protocol is interesting too.
Modification:
Log protocol as well.
Result:
More interesting information when debugging TLS handshakes.
**Motivation:**
Following up on https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10181
I was able to successfully setup a Netty server with TLS on Android, using Conscrypt, with the change proposed here. Conscrypt publishes an [Android specific version](https://github.com/google/conscrypt#android). But the current availability check prevents Netty from using it (the call `PlatformDependent.javaVersion()` returns `6` on Android).
**Modification:**
Check whether the java version is above 8, or if it's running on an Android device, to flag Conscrypt as available (besides the remaining checks).
**Result:**
Netty with TLS runs fine on Android 👍
Motivation:
If the SslHandler is removed from the pipeline we also need to ensure we fail the handshake / close promise if it was not notified before as otherwise we may never do so.
Modifications:
- Correctly fail promise and notify pipeline if handshake was not done yet when the SslHandler is removed
- Add unit test
Result:
Fix https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10158
Motivation:
JDK 14 was released and need some special settings to be able to build with. Also there seems to be one regression that we need to workaround for now.
Modifications:
- Add maven profile for JDK 14
- Update blockhound version to be able to work on JDK 14
- Add workaround for possible JDK 14 regression
Result:
Be able to build on JDK 14
Motivation:
Before release 4.1.23, there was only ONE call to exceptionCaught method when an ssl handshake failure occurs, now we have two when using the JDK provider.
Modifications:
- Ensure we only propagate one exception fi we already failed the handshake and channelInactive(...) produce an exception again
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10119
Motivation:
In general, we will close the debug log in a product environment. However, logging without external level check may still affect performance as varargs will need to allocate an array.
Modification:
Add log level check simply before logging.
Result:
Improve performance slightly in a product environment.
Motivation:
Often it is useful to be able to detect different sorts of SSL errors that cause the handshake to fail. To make this easier we should throw and explicit exception type for handshake timeouts.
Modifications:
- Add SslHandshakeTimeoutException (which extends SSLHandshakeException) and use it for handshake timeouts
- Adjust testcases
Result:
Easier to detect that handshake failed because of a timeout
Motivation:
We did not correctly account for produced bytes when SSL_write(...) returns -1 in all cases. This could lead to lost data and so a corrupt SSL connection.
Modifications:
- Always ensure we calculate the produced bytes correctly
- Add unit tests
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10041
Motivation:
In SniHandlerTest we depended on implementation details of the SSLEngine. We should better not doing this
Modifications:
Just release all outbound data
Result:
Dont depend on implementation details
Motivation:
Due incorrectly handling of reference count of the clientHello ByteBuf we may overrelease the buffer. This did show up in the log of a test:
11:55:16.595 [main] DEBUG i.n.h.ssl.SslClientHelloHandler - Unexpected client hello packet: 16030100bd010000b90303a74225676d1814ba57faff3b3663656ed05ee9dbb2a4dbb1bb1c32d2ea5fc39e0000000100008c0000001700150000164348415434e380824c45414e434c4f5544e38082434e000b000403000102000a00340032000e000d0019000b000c00180009000a00160017000800060007001400150004000500120013000100020003000f0010001100230000000d0020001e060106020603050105020503040104020403030103020303020102020203000f00010133740000

Modifications:
Correctly transfer lifetime of buffer and so not over-release it.
Result:
Correctly handle buffer lifecycle and so not swallow the original exception
Motivation:
Sometimes it is useful to do something depending on the Ssl ClientHello (like for example select a SslContext to use). At the moment we only allow to hook into the SNI extension but this is not enough.
Modifications:
Add SslClientHelloHandler which allows to hook into ClientHello messages. This class is now also the super class of AbstractSniHandler
Result:
More flexible processing of SSL handshakes
Motivation:
JDK is the default SSL provider and internally uses blocking IO operations.
Modifications:
Add allowBlockingCallsInside configuration for SslHandler runAllDelegate function.
Result:
When BlockHound is installed, SSL works out of the box with the default SSL provider.
Co-authored-by: violetagg <milesg78@gmail.com>
Motivation:
When SslHandler.finishWrap throws an exception, ensure that the promise and buf is not reused to avoid throwing IllegalArgumentException or IllegalReferenceCountException which causes the original exception to be lost.
Modification:
The change ensures that the values for the promise and bytebuf are nulled before calling finishWrap so that it will not be called again with the same arguments.
Result:
Fixes#9971 .
