stunnel segfault, please advise
by Mehdi Bennani 21 Dec '11

21 Dec '11

Hi you guys, I proposed stunnel as a potential solution to our product about 4-5 months ago and I am in the process of testing a prototype I have built around that proposition. I am using stunnel v. 4.41. I am relatively new to stunnel myself. The env. is as follows: We are trying to secure an rdp connection from a java applet running in a web browser into a windows 2008 server machine behind our firewall. Presently, the java applet opens up an RDP connection into a machine (I will call it the SSL machine) where Stunnel is presently installed. Stunnel then forwards properly the incoming traffic (from portA) into its final destination (i.e: the windows Server 2008 machine) on port B. Further, I have configured Stunnel to use an SSL certificate. (Although, I have not been able to test that yet to make sure it works) Anyhow, it is all working as expected and I am pretty happy about the proof of concept. However, while testing it a bit, I noticed that it was relatively easy to bring stunnel down. The way I went about it, was to simply run a "telnet IP_of_MySSLMachine portA" from any DOS command window from any machine with internet access. From the Stunnel logs, I can tell that I get a response from Stunnel and on the DOS window side, I have a cursor waiting for input.... Writing any gibberish into that DOS windows and waiting a little bit makes stunnel stop and die in the SSL machine. I found nothing in the stunnel log, but grepping in the /var/log/, I found the segfault sslmahine:/var/log/# grep stunnel messages kernel: [1996904.624042] stunnel [19696]: segfault at 8 ip b768d361 sp b7601210 error 4 in libc-2.7.so[b7621000+138000] After another telnet execution, few days later: sslmahine:/var/log/# grep stunnel messages kernel: [4930384.164316] stunnel [14540]: segfault at 8 ip b7629b61 error 6 in libc-2.7.so[b75bd000+138000] Basically, if I don't issue that telnet command, stunnel works properly. As soon as I issue that command and start typing few things in that DOS console, stunnel dies. I have to manually restart it. Question: I was wondering if you guys could shed some light into this behavior. Is it a known behavior/bug? Is there a way to solve it by maybe upgrading into a later version of stunnel? Also, I was thinking to block telnet altogether at the firewall level, but then I am not sure what other protocols could people use to hack into the system...so should I block all of them? And, finally is there a more secure way to setup stunnel? Thank you in advance Mehdi/

Incompatibility between openssl 1.0.0 and 0.9.8 which cause stunnel windows version malfunction.
by ayanamist 21 Dec '11

21 Dec '11

I generated a pair of key and certificates with openssl 1.0.0d, and use them in stunnel 4.36. Today i upgrade it to stunnel 4.50 and it doesnot work. All configurations remain unmodified. Then i tested many versions and found, stunnel with openssl 1.00 works fine while with openssl 0.98 does not work. I use stunnel with linux server and windows client, stunnel 4.50 windows version is using openssl 0.98, so cause this problem. 4.47 is using 1.00e which i think is newer than 0.98 bundled with 4.50. So why stunnel keep changing openssl version?

Re: [stunnel-users] Configuring VeriSign certificate with STunnel
by Zubair Ali Mansoor 21 Dec '11

Hi, Here are steps how I created certificate request and private key. Generate private key openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 2048 Generate certificate request openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr I submitted server.csr contents to VeriSign to get test certificate and they provided me three certificates. VeriSign signed certificated Root certificate Intermediate certificate I copied VeriSign signed certificate in stunnel.pem and other two certificates in ca.pem file. As per my observation STunnel is unable to load stunnel.pem file. If you need VeriSign test certificate I can provide you that as well. Please let me know if you need further information.

Configuring VeriSign certificate with STunnel
by Zubair Ali Mansoor 21 Dec '11

21 Dec '11

Hi, I got VeriSign Test SSL certificate. I have been trying to configure it with STunnel. But there are errors in STunnel. I have placed private key and CA signed certificate in a separate file named 'stunnel.pem'. Root and Intermediate certificates have been placed in following order in a file named 'ca.pem' stunnel.pem -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- encrypted key -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- VeriSign signed certificate -----END CERTIFICATE----- ca.pem -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- VeriSign Intermediate CA Certificate -----END CERTIFICATE----- -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- VeriSign Root CA Certificate -----END CERTIFICATE----- Here is stunnel.conf file. ;key = server.key cert = stunnel.pem ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ; Workaround for Eudora bug ;options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS ; Authentication stuff verify = 2 ; Don't forget to c_rehash CApath ;CApath = certs ; It's often easier to use CAfile CAfile = ca.pem ;CAfile=zosIntermediate.pem ; Don't forget to c_rehash CRLpath ;CRLpath = crls ; Alternatively you can use CRLfile ;CRLfile = crls.pem ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting ;debug = 7 output = stunnel.log ; Use it for client mode client = no I have also tried to change order of certificates but nothing is working. Anyone have idea how it can work. Your cooperation will be highly appreciated. Thanks, Zubair

Multiple Domains for https
by Brian McGinity 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

Will Stunnel work with multiple domains? For example if abc.com and xyz.com both resolve to the same ip address where the web server is running locally on port 4080. Going when to https://abc.com or https://xyz.com stunnel will encrypt the traffic and forward to the local 4080 port in the clear. What if 10 or 20 domains needed to be served by the same web server?
