stunnel with OpenSSL engine: reload leaks HSM connections?
by Lynch, Andrew 26 Sep '19

26 Sep '19

Hi, We are using stunnel as a server to terminate incoming TLS connections. The config has around 70 services with certificates whose EC private keys are stored in an HSM and accessed using an OpenSSL engine. Over time, after numerous reloads of stunnel (kill -HUP) the HSM reports that its connection table is full. Logging from the engine shows that stunnel is never freeing the keys and therefore the engine is not closing the associated sessions with the HSM. Each stunnel reload opens 70 new sessions until eventually the HSM's configured limit is exceeded. This behaviour has been observed on Suse Enterprise Linux 12.3 with the system-provided stunnel-5.00-4.3.4, but I can reproduce it with my own build of the current version 5.55. Is this a known issue? It appears that other (ephemeral) keys are being freed, just not those associated with the service certificates. Currently our workaround is to perform a full restart instead of a reload. This closes all HSM sessions when the process terminates, but of course it also kills any open client connections so it can only be done during the scheduled maintenance windows. Regards, Andrew.

Re: [stunnel-users] Problems when using PSK between a version of stunnel usingopenssl 1.0 and a version of stunnel using openssl 1.1.1 in stunnel-users Digest, Vol 182, Issue 7

Hi Brent Thank you for your suggestions. I installed stunnel version 5.55 on the client test side (where the openssl version OpenSSL 1.1.1c is). That has solved the problem. Kind regards and thanks again for your help, Hannah Koperberg, de Volksbank N.V., The Netherlands From: Brent Kimberley <brent_kimberley(a)rogers.com> Sent: woensdag 18 september 2019 18:30 To: stunnel-users(a)stunnel.org Subject: Re: [stunnel-users] stunnel-users Digest, Vol 182, Issue 7 psk_find() and psk_server_callback() are marked NOEXPORT.

Hi, I am new to STunnel. I come to know STunnel thru this link: http://www.ibphoenix.com/downloads/Secure_connections_to_Firebird_with_Stun… Based on the instruction, I tried create a certificate using this line below: openssl ca -config "C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel\config\openssl.conf" -policy policy_anything -notext -in C:\CA\temp\vnc_server\server.req -out C:\CA\temp\vnc_server\server.crt However, no crt file is created and no error is prompted. I hope that someone can help me. Thanks.

Has anybody been able to use stunnel to update the Sophos UTM’s firewall? I know it has a Restful API , but do not know how to use this with stunnel. https://www.sophos.com/en-us/medialibrary/PDFs/documentation/UTMonAWS/Sopho… <https://www.sophos.com/en-us/medialibrary/PDFs/documentation/UTMonAWS/Sopho…> Any experiences or suggestions?

Hi Gerald, I assume you got stunnel from the oss4aix.org site.
