Navigating through listeners was very inconvenient and error-prone. Not to
mention that listeners were linked in reverse order and reverted afterwards.
In order to definitely get rid of these issues, we now do the following :
- frontends have a dual-linked list of bind_conf
- frontends have a dual-linked list of listeners
- bind_conf have a dual-linked list of listeners
- listeners have a pointer to their bind_conf
This way we can now navigate from anywhere to anywhere and always find the
proper bind_conf for a given listener, as well as find the list of listeners
for a current bind_conf.
Registering new SSL bind keywords was not particularly handy as it required
many #ifdef in cfgparse.c. Now the code has moved to ssl_sock.c which calls
a register function for all the keywords.
Error reporting was also improved by this move, because the called functions
build an error message using memprintf(), which can span multiple lines if
needed, and each of these errors will be displayed indented in the context of
the bind line being processed. This is important when dealing with certificate
directories which can report multiple errors.
Some settings need to be merged per-bind config line and are not necessarily
SSL-specific. It becomes quite inconvenient to have this ssl_conf SSL-specific,
so let's replace it with something more generic.
Baptiste Assmann observed a crash of 1.5-dev12 occuring when the ssl_sni
fetch was used with no SNI on the input connection and without a prior
has_sni check. A code review revealed several issues :
1) it was possible to call the has_sni and ssl_sni fetch functions with
a NULL data_ctx if the handshake fails or if the connection is aborted
during the handshake.
2) when no SNI is present, strlen() was called with a NULL parameter in
smp_fetch_ssl_sni().
Really, the quality of their code deserves it, it would have been much
harder to figure how to get all the things right at once without looking
there from time to time !
A side effect of this change is that the "ssl" keyword on "bind" lines is now
just a boolean and that "crt" is needed to designate certificate files or
directories.
Note that much refcounting was needed to have the free() work correctly due to
the number of cert aliases which can make a context be shared by multiple names.
SSL config holds many parameters which are per bind line and not per
listener. Let's use a per-bind line config instead of having it
replicated for each listener.
At the moment we only do this for the SSL part but this should probably
evolved to handle more of the configuration and maybe even the state per
bind line.
SSL connections take a huge amount of memory, and unfortunately openssl
does not check malloc() returns and easily segfaults when too many
connections are used.
The only solution against this is to provide a global maxsslconn setting
to reject SSL connections above the limit in order to avoid reaching
unsafe limits.
The WAIT_L6_CONN was designed especially to ensure that the connection
was not marked ready before the SSL layer was OK, but we forgot to set
the flag, resulting in a rejected handshake when ssl was combined with
accept-proxy because accept-proxy would validate the connection alone
and the SSL handshake would then believe in a client-initiated reneg
and kill it.
CVE-2009-3555 suggests that client-initiated renegociation should be
prevented in the middle of data. The workaround here consists in having
the SSL layer notify our callback about a handshake occurring, which in
turn causes the connection to be marked in the error state if it was
already considered established (which means if a previous handshake was
completed). The result is that the connection with the client is immediately
aborted and any pending data are dropped.
This data layer supports socket-to-buffer and buffer-to-socket operations.
No sock-to-pipe nor pipe-to-sock functions are provided, since splicing does
not provide any benefit with data transformation. At best it could save a
memcpy() and avoid keeping a buffer allocated but that does not seem very
useful.
An init function and a close function are provided because the SSL context
needs to be allocated/freed.
A data-layer shutw() function is also provided because upon successful
shutdown, we want to store the SSL context in the cache in order to reuse
it for future connections and avoid a new key generation.
The handshake function is directly called from the connection handler.
At this point it is not certain whether this will remain this way or
if a new ->handshake callback will be added to the data layer so that
the connection handler doesn't care about SSL.
The sock-to-buf and buf-to-sock functions are all capable of enabling
the SSL handshake at any time. This also implies polling in the opposite
direction to what was expected. The upper layers must take that into
account (it is OK right now with the stream interface).
