Connection Refused locally, SSL Proxy.
by Avner Peled 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

Hello! I have a game client connecting to a server using TCP over SSL. I'm trying to setup an SSL proxy using 2 stunnels on the same server like so: Client --> Stunnel-Server:20001 (decrypt)--> Stunnel-Client:901 (encrypt)---> Server:20001 Using latest stunnel-4.21-r1 on Gentoo kernel 2.6.22-gentoo-r9 I have a weird problem. The first connection after starting both stunnels works fine. Afterwards every time the client tries to connect, it gets refused once. Then it tries again and gets connected. Then the next time it will once again get refused once and then connect. I have looked at the logs and it seems the Stunnel server (the first) gets Connection Refused from localhost:901. Then it tries again and gets connected. The Stunnel client (the second) doesn't even mention the first failing local connection in the log. I have provided the config files of both stunnels and a log with debug = 7 (server ip's are censored) I have also tried the following config tweaks with no luck socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 TIMEOUTclose = 0 retry = yes Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!! -- Avner Peled. avnerus(a)gmail.com

debug level 7
by Damian Wiest 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Hi, I'm new to stunnel and have run into some unexpected behavior. I'm inclined to think it's a bug, but perhaps I'm misunderstanding some things. I'm running FreeBSD 6.2 with stunnel 4.21 (installed via ports collection). I'm able to configure things properly when using stunnel in daemon mode, but am unable to run stunnel from inetd when I set the debug level to 7. Here's the config file I'm using, cert = /usr/local/CA/stunnel.pem key = /usr/local/CA/stunnel.pem sslVersion = all pid = /var/log/swat-stunnel.pid debug = 7 output = /tmp/stunnel.log exec = /usr/local/sbin/swat execargs = swat ...and the inetd.conf entry, swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/local/sbin/stunnel stunnel /usr/local/etc/stunnel/swat.conf If I connect to port 901, some debug messages are written to the socket, dwiest(a)dfwdamian.vail: telnet localhost 901 Trying ::1... telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused Trying 127.0.0.1...

Shouldn't they go to either syslog, or to the file specified with the "output" option? I dug through the source code and discovered that file_putline() is being called from parse_config() before open_log() has been called. This results in file_putline() writing to stderr instead of the specified output file. If this is known behavior, then it would be nice if the man page mentioned something. -Damian

rtmps with stunnel
by David Schulberg 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

Hi, A while ago I reported an issue with using rtmps on linux to connect to a Red5 server through stunnel. I am having no issues on Windows. The rtmps connection is made from Flash code running in the browser. The error reported on Linux was 'SSL_accept: Peer suddenly disconnected' which occurs straight after 'SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization' . Now I am having a similar problem trying to connect from a MAC. In this case I also get 'SSL_accept: Peer suddenly disconnected' which occurs straight after 2008.01.24 16:39:31 LOG7[1608:2980]: SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization 2008.01.24 16:39:31 LOG7[1608:2980]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client hello A 2008.01.24 16:39:31 LOG7[1608:2980]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write server hello A 2008.01.24 16:39:31 LOG7[1608:2980]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write certificate A 2008.01.24 16:39:31 LOG7[1608:2980]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write server done A 2008.01.24 16:39:31 LOG7[1608:2980]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 flush data It seems to get further on the MAC but still fails.

stunnel with Fedora core
by Andy 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

Hello everyone I am trying to configure stunnel on a Fedora Core machine, but have had little luck. The below configuration is in the /etc/stunne/stunnel.conf. I want this machine to send encrypted data to another machine via stunnel. My knowledge of stunnel is quite limited. chroot = /home/stunnel pid = /stunnel.pid setuid = stunnel setgid = stunne; debug = 7 output = /var/log/messages client = yes [ldap] accept = 389 connect = ldap.example.com:636 I have been told that this command will work. stunnel -c -d ldaps -r <LDAPSERVER>:ldaps This command does work under debian but does not work under fedora core. Can anyone help me with this? -- REGARDS, Andy

Debian Bug#460019: cert= produces output on stderr even with log= set
by Luis Rodrigo Gallardo Cruz 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

----- Forwarded message from Bryan Donlan <bd(a)fushizen.net> ----- Version: 3:4.21-1 With the following configuration: output = /srv/stun/log compression = zlib CApath = /srv/stun/keys cert = /srv/stun/server.pem connect = localhost:9999 verify = 3 The following is output on stderr: 2008.01.10 02:54:19 LOG5[11786:3083495088]: Peer certificate location /srv/stun/keys This confuses clients when stunnel is driven direcly from xinetd. This output, if it is produced at all, should be placed in the log file. ----- End forwarded message ----- The issue is that verify_init (verify.c:103) calls s_log(LOG_NOTICE, "Peer certificate location %s", section->ca_dir); apparently before the logfile is setup. Could the log file initialization be moved earlier in the starup sequence? Or maybe this log call's severity could be lowered.

Nessus crashes stunnel

I am running some tests against my stunnel configuration with Nessus. I am able to get stunnel to exit silently when I run Nessus with the Nessus TCP Scan and Weak Supported SSL Cipher Suites test.

The following is an educated guess: Open connections are open file descriptors, and fork()/exec() do not close open file descriptors. Thus, stunnel is inheriting the open connection. And, since it knows nothing about it, it does not close it or anything like that. So it's not that it activelly listens on it, but only that it does not bother to stop. You might check this theory by trying to connect to the port *after* apache is shut down. If I'm right you should get no answer at all. So, the solution is to have the file descriptors close when exec'ing stunnel. PHP or apache might have some option somewhere to do that (look for "close on exec" or something similarly named), but if not, you might have to write some sort of wrapper to do it. It's a messy thing, because AFAIK there's no clean way to do it short of for (i = 0; i < [some-hopefuly-large-enough-value]; i++) close(i); where the [large-enough-value] is determined by your system's file descriptor limit and your desire not to loop all the way to 2^32 or something. -- Rodrigo i-think-this-time-i-answered-the-question-asked Gallardo GPG-Fingerprint: 7C81 E60C 442E 8FBC D975 2F49 0199 8318 ADC9 BC28

stunnel automatically listening to extra ports: BAD
by Alan Pinstein 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

Hi All- I am using stunnel to secure a connection between a local python script using telnetlib and a custom sockets-based server requiring SSL, from local port 4449 to remote port 4449. This is done via: stunnel /opt/www/domains/admin.showcasere.com/showcase/classes/ opensrs-php/stunnel-app.conf where the conf file is: > client = yes > pid = /opt/www/domains/admin.showcasere.com/runtime/stunnel.pid > debug = 7 > [telnet] > accept = 4449 > connect = admin.hostedemail.com:4449 Functionally, everything works for my application, but I am experiencing a bad side-effect. stunnel is ALSO setting up listeners on HTTP and HTTPS ports, and when my daily logrotate scripts run and HUP apache, stunnel steals the web server's ports and the server won't come back up! I had 7 hours of downtime today because of this. I've done a bunch of debugging and can't figure out what's going on. I have only one guess: stunnel automatically listens on any ports that the process calling stunnel is listening on, in some sort of attempt to seamlessly add SSL to existing daemons. I can't find any docs or tell from the source code, but it's the only idea I can't rule out... Here is the debug log of the startup of stunnel (which is run from an apache/php script): Jan 11 13:10:13 bigwoody stunnel: LOG5[13964:3086333632]: stunnel 4.14 on i386-redhat-linux-gnu

another user even, it only listens on the port listed in the conf file. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? How can I turn off this behavior? Thanks! Alan

You sent the private keys too - you shouldn't do this. You should create new keys when done debugging this problem. I saw only 2 keys - the CA and the stunnel.pem. Your configuration specifies 3 keys, the CA, stunnel.pem, and is attempting to verify the SSL client (browser? something else) against the CA via the 'verify=' line. What is the SSL client? Did you generate a key for it? Because your config is requiring the SSL client authenticate itself, and Stunnel is dropping the connection because that phase isn't working correctly. -- Brian Hatch "So, what's the problem?"
