Add new API functions to handle CRL-verification

Own Id: OTP-10362 Aux Id: kunagi-215 [126]

Remove default support for SSL-3.0, due to Poodle vunrability in protocol specification.

Add padding check for TLS-1.0 to remove Poodle vunrability from TLS 1.0, also add the option padding_check. This option only affects TLS-1.0 connections and if set to false it disables the block cipher padding check to be able to interoperate with legacy software.

Remove default support for RC4 cipher suites, as they are consider too weak.

*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

Own Id: OTP-12390

Add support for TLS ALPN (Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation) extension.

Exclude self-signed trusted anchor certificates from certificate prospective certification path according to RFC 3280.

This will avoid some unnecessary certificate processing.

Own Id: OTP-12449

Separate client and server session cache internally.

Avoid session table growth when client starts many connections in such a manner that many connections are started before session reuse is possible. Only save a new session in client if there is no equivalent session already stored.

Own Id: OTP-11365

The PEM cache is now validated by a background process, instead of always keeping it if it is small enough and clearing it otherwise. That strategy required that small caches where cleared by API function if a file changes on disk.

However export the API function to clear the cache as it may still be useful.

Own Id: OTP-12391

Add padding check for TLS-1.0 to remove Poodle vulnerability from TLS 1.0, also add the option padding_check. This option only affects TLS-1.0 connections and if set to false it disables the block cipher padding check to be able to interoperate with legacy software.

*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

Own Id: OTP-12420

Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV used to prevent undesired TLS version downgrades. If used by a client that is vulnerable to the POODLE attack, and the server also supports TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV, the attack can be prevented.

Own Id: OTP-12458

Make sure the clean rule for ssh, ssl, eunit and otp_mibs actually removes generated files.

Change code to reflect that state data may be secret to avoid breaking dialyzer contracts.

Own Id: OTP-12341

Handle the fact that servers may send an empty SNI extension to the client.

Own Id: OTP-12198

Corrected handling of ECC certificates, there where several small issues with the handling of such certificates in the ssl and public_key application. Now ECC signed ECC certificates shall work and not only RSA signed ECC certificates.

Own Id: OTP-12026

Check that the certificate chain ends with a trusted ROOT CA e.i. a self-signed certificate, but provide an option partial_chain to enable the application to define an intermediat CA as trusted.

Own Id: OTP-12149

Add decode functions for SNI (Server Name Indication)

Own Id: OTP-12048

ssl:recv now returns {error, einval} if applied to a non passive socket, the same as gen_tcp:recv.

Fix incorrect dialyzer spec and types, also enhance documentation.

Thanks to Ayaz Tuncer.

Own Id: OTP-11627

Fix possible mismatch between SSL/TLS version and default ciphers. Could happen when you specified SSL/TLS-version in optionlist to listen or accept.

Own Id: OTP-11712

Application upgrade (appup) files are corrected for the following applications:

asn1, common_test, compiler, crypto, debugger, dialyzer, edoc, eldap, erl_docgen, et, eunit, gs, hipe, inets, observer, odbc, os_mon, otp_mibs, parsetools, percept, public_key, reltool, runtime_tools, ssh, syntax_tools, test_server, tools, typer, webtool, wx, xmerl

A new test utility for testing appup files is added to test_server. This is now used by most applications in OTP.

(Thanks to Tobias Schlager)

Own Id: OTP-11744

Moved elliptic curve definition from the crypto NIF/OpenSSL into Erlang code, adds the RFC-5639 brainpool curves and makes TLS use them (RFC-7027).

Thanks to Andreas Schultz

Own Id: OTP-11578

Unicode adaptations

Own Id: OTP-11620

Added option honor_cipher_order. This instructs the server to prefer its own cipher ordering rather than the client's and can help protect against things like BEAST while maintaining compatability with clients which only support older ciphers.

Thanks to Andrew Thompson for the implementation, and Andreas Schultz for the test cases.

Own Id: OTP-11621

Replace boolean checking in validate_option with is_boolean guard.

Thanks to Andreas Schultz.

Handle v1 CRLs, with no extensions and fixes issues with IDP (Issuing Distribution Point) comparison during CRL validation.

Thanks to Andrew Thompson

Own Id: OTP-11761

Thanks to Danil Zagoskin for reporting the issue and suggesting a solution.

Own Id: OTP-11780

Handle SNI (Server Name Indication) alert unrecognized_name and gracefully deal with unexpected alerts.

Thanks to Masatake Daimon for reporting this.

Own Id: OTP-11815

Add possibility to specify ssl options when calling ssl:ssl_accept

Own Id: OTP-11837

Add missing validation of the server_name_indication option and test for its explicit use. It was not possible to set or disable the default server_name_indication as the validation of the option was missing.

Own Id: OTP-11567

Elliptic curve selection in server mode now properly selects a curve suggested by the client, if possible, and the fallback alternative is changed to a more widely supported curve.

Own Id: OTP-11575

Bug in the TLS hello extension handling caused the server to behave as it did not understand secure renegotiation.

Own Id: OTP-11595

Honors the clients advertised support of elliptic curves and no longer sends incorrect elliptic curve extension in server hello.

Fix initialization of DTLS fragment reassembler, in previously contributed code, for future support of DTLS . Thanks to Andreas Schultz.

Own Id: OTP-11376

Corrected type error in client_preferred_next_protocols documentation. Thanks to Julien Barbot.

Own Id: OTP-11457

TLS code has been refactored to prepare for future DTLS support. Also some DTLS code is in place but not yet runnable, some of it contributed by Andreas Schultz and some of it written by the OTP team. Thanks to to Andreas for his participation.

Own Id: OTP-11292

Remove extraneous dev debug code left in the close function. Thanks to Ken Key.

Own Id: OTP-11447

Add SSL Server Name Indication (SNI) client support. Thanks to Julien Barbot.

Own Id: OTP-11460

Setopts during renegotiation caused the renegotiation to be unsuccessful.

If calling setopts during a renegotiation the FSM state might change during the handling of the setopts messages, this is now handled correctly.

Own Id: OTP-11228

Now handles signature_algorithm field in digitally_signed properly with proper defaults. Prior to this change some elliptic curve cipher suites could fail reporting the error "bad certificate".

Own Id: OTP-11229

The code emulating the inet header option was changed in the belief that it made it inet compatible. However the testing is a bit hairy as the inet option is actually broken, now the tests are corrected and the header option should work in the same broken way as inet again, preferably use the bitsyntax instead.

Own Id: OTP-11230

Make the ssl manager name for erlang distribution over SSL/TLS relative to the module name of the ssl_manager.

This can be beneficial when making tools that rename modules for internal processing in the tool.

Own Id: OTP-11255

Add documentation regarding log_alert option.

Own Id: OTP-11271

Honor the versions option to ssl:connect and ssl:listen.

Fix ssl_connection to support reading proxy/chain certificates. Thanks to Valentin Kuznetsov.

Own Id: OTP-10980

Integrate elliptic curve contribution from Andreas Schultz

In order to be able to support elliptic curve cipher suites in SSL/TLS, additions to handle elliptic curve infrastructure has been added to public_key and crypto.

This also has resulted in a rewrite of the crypto API to gain consistency and remove unnecessary overhead. All OTP applications using crypto has been updated to use the new API.

Impact: Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) offers equivalent security with smaller key sizes than other public key algorithms. Smaller key sizes result in savings for power, memory, bandwidth, and computational cost that make ECC especially attractive for constrained environments.

Own Id: OTP-11009

Transport callback handling is changed so that gen_tcp is treated as a special case where inet will be called directly for functions such as setopts, as gen_tcp does not have its own setopts. This will enable users to use the transport callback for other customizations such as websockets.

Own Id: OTP-10847

Follow up to OTP-10451 solved in ssl-5.2 R16A. Make sure format_error return good strings. Replace confusing legacy atoms with more descriptive atoms.

Own Id: OTP-10864

Make log_alert configurable as option in ssl, SSLLogLevel added as option to inets conf file

Own Id: OTP-11259

SSL: TLS 1.2, advertise sha224 support, thanks to Andreas Schultz.

Own Id: OTP-10586

If an ssl server is restarted with new options and a client tries to reuse a session the server must make sure that it complies to the new options before agreeing to reuse it.

Own Id: OTP-10595

Now handles cleaning of CA-certificate database correctly so that there will be no memory leek, bug was introduced in ssl- 5.1 when changing implementation to increase parallel execution.

Impact: Improved memory usage, especially if you have many different certificates and upgrade tcp-connections to TLS-connections.

Own Id: OTP-10710

Support Next Protocol Negotiation in TLS, thanks to Ben Murphy for the contribution.

Impact: Could give performance benefit if used as it saves a round trip.

Own Id: OTP-10361 Aux Id: kunagi-214 [125]

TLS 1.2 will now be the default TLS version if sufficient crypto support is available otherwise TLS 1.1 will be default.

Impact: A default TLS connection will have higher security and hence it may be perceived as slower then before.

Own Id: OTP-10425 Aux Id: kunagi-275 [186]

It is now possible to call controlling_process on a listen socket, same as in gen_tcp.

Own Id: OTP-10447

Remove filter mechanisms that made error messages backwards compatible with old ssl but hid information about what actually happened.

This does not break the documented API however other reason terms may be returned, so code that matches on the reason part of {error, Reason} may fail.

*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

Own Id: OTP-10451 Aux Id: kunagi-270 [181]

Added missing dependencies to Makefile

Own Id: OTP-10594

Removed deprecated function ssl:pid/0, it has been pointless since R14 but has been keep for backwards compatibility.

*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

Own Id: OTP-10613 Aux Id: kunagi-331 [242]

Refactor to simplify addition of key exchange methods, thanks to Andreas Schultz.

Own Id: OTP-10709

ssl:ssl_accept/2 timeout is no longer ignored

Own Id: OTP-10600

ssl:recv/3 could "loose" data when the timeout occurs. If the timout in ssl:connect or ssl:ssl_accept expired the ssl connection process was not terminated as it should, this due to gen_fsm:send_all_state_event timout is a client side time out. These timouts are now handled by the gen_fsm-procss instead.

Own Id: OTP-10569

Better termination handling that avoids hanging.

Own Id: OTP-10574

Sometimes the client process could receive an extra {error, closed} message after ssl:recv had returned {error, closed}.

Own Id: OTP-10118

ssl v3 alert number 41 (no_certificate_RESERVED) is now recognized

Own Id: OTP-10196

Experimental support for TLS 1.1 is now available, will be officially supported from OTP-R16. Thanks to Andreas Schultz for implementing the first version.

Own Id: OTP-8871

Experimental support for TLS 1.2 is now available, will be officially supported from OTP-R16. Thanks to Andreas Schultz for implementing the first version.

Own Id: OTP-8872

Removed some bottlenecks increasing the applications parallelism especially for the client side.

Own Id: OTP-10113

Workaround for handling certificates that wrongly encode X509countryname in utf-8 when the actual value is a valid ASCCI value of length 2. Such certificates are accepted by many browsers such as Chrome and Fierfox so for interoperability reasons we will too.

Own Id: OTP-10222

Robustness and improvement to distribution over SSL

Fix a bug where ssl_tls_dist_proxy would crash at caller timeout. Fix a bug where a timeout from the SSL layer would block the distribution indefinately. Run the proxy exclusively on the loopback interface. (Thanks to Paul Guyot)

Own Id: OTP-9915

Fix setup loop of SSL TLS dist proxy

Fix potential leak of processes waiting indefinately for data from closed sockets during socket setup phase. (Thanks to Paul Guyot)

Own Id: OTP-9916

Correct spelling of registered (Thanks to Richard Carlsson)

Own Id: OTP-9925

Added TLS PRF function to the SSL API for generation of additional key material from a TLS session. (Thanks to Andreas Schultz)

Own Id: OTP-10024

Invalidation handling of sessions could cause the time_stamp field in the session record to be set to undefined crashing the session clean up process. This did not affect the connections but would result in that the session table would grow.

Own Id: OTP-9696 Aux Id: seq11947

Changed code to use ets:foldl and throw instead of ets:next traversal, avoiding the need to explicitly call ets:safe_fixtable. It was possible to get a badarg-crash under special circumstances.

Own Id: OTP-9703 Aux Id: seq11947

Send ssl_closed notification to active ssl user when a tcp error occurs.

Own Id: OTP-9734 Aux Id: seq11946

If a passive receive was ongoing during a renegotiation the process evaluating ssl:recv could be left hanging for ever.

Own Id: OTP-9744

Support for the old ssl implementation is dropped and the code is removed.

Own Id: OTP-7048

The erlang distribution can now be run over the new ssl implementation. All options can currently not be set but it is enough to replace to old ssl implementation.

Own Id: OTP-7053

public_key, ssl and crypto now supports PKCS-8

Own Id: OTP-9312

Implements a CBC timing attack counter measure. Thanks to Andreas Schultz for providing the patch.

Own Id: OTP-9683

Mitigates an SSL/TLS Computational DoS attack by disallowing the client to renegotiate many times in a row in a short time interval, thanks to Tuncer Ayaz for alerting us about this.

Own Id: OTP-9739

Implements the 1/n-1 splitting countermeasure to the Rizzo Duong BEAST attack, affects SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0. Thanks to Tuncer Ayaz for alerting us about this.

Adds function clause to avoid denial of service attack. Thanks to Vinod for reporting this vulnerability.

Own Id: OTP-9364

Error handling code now takes care of inet:getopts/2 and inets:setopts/2 crashes. Thanks to Richard Jones for reporting this.

Own Id: OTP-9382

Support explicit use of packet option httph and httph_bin

Own Id: OTP-9461

Decoding of hello extensions could fail to come to the correct conclusion due to an error in a binary match pattern. Thanks to Ben Murphy.

Own Id: OTP-9589

Calling gen_tcp:connect with option {ip, {127,0,0,1}} results in an exit with reason badarg. Neither SSL nor INETS This was not catched, resulting in crashes with incomprehensible reasons.

Own Id: OTP-9289 Aux Id: seq11845

Fixed error in cache-handling fix from ssl-4.1.2

Own Id: OTP-9018 Aux Id: seq11739

Verification of a critical extended_key_usage-extension corrected

Own Id: OTP-9029 Aux Id: seq11541

The ssl application caches certificate files, it will now invalidate cache entries if the diskfile is changed.

Own Id: OTP-8965 Aux Id: seq11739

Now runs the terminate function before returning from the call made by ssl:close/1, as before the caller of ssl:close/1 could get problems with the reuseaddr option.

Own Id: OTP-8992

Correct handling of client certificate verify message When checking the client certificate verify message the server used the wrong algorithm identifier to determine the signing algorithm, causing a function clause error in the public_key application when the key-exchange algorithm and the public key algorithm of the client certificate happen to differ.

Own Id: OTP-8897

For testing purposes ssl now also support some anonymous cipher suites when explicitly configured to do so.

Own Id: OTP-8870

Sends an error alert instead of crashing if a crypto function for the selected cipher suite fails.

Own Id: OTP-8930 Aux Id: seq11720

Updated ssl to ignore CA certs that violate the asn1-spec for a certificate, and updated public key asn1 spec to handle inherited DSS-params.

Own Id: OTP-7884

Changed ssl implementation to retain backwards compatibility for old option {verify, 0} that shall be equivalent to {verify, verify_none}, also separate the cases unknown ca and selfsigned peer cert, and restored return value of deprecated function public_key:pem_to_der/1.

Own Id: OTP-8858

Changed the verify fun so that it differentiate between the peer certificate and CA certificates by using valid_peer or valid as the second argument to the verify fun. It may not always be trivial or even possible to know when the peer certificate is reached otherwise.

*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

Own Id: OTP-8873

The server now verifies the client certificate verify message correctly, instead of causing a case-clause.

Own Id: OTP-8721

The client hello message now always include ALL available cipher suites (or those specified by the ciphers option). Previous implementation would filter them based on the client certificate key usage extension (such filtering only makes sense for the server certificate).

Own Id: OTP-8772

Fixed handling of the option {mode, list} that was broken for some packet types for instance line.

Own Id: OTP-8785

Empty packets were not delivered to the client.

Own Id: OTP-8790

Building in a source tree without prebuilt platform independent build results failed on the SSL examples when:

Own Id: OTP-8791

Fixed a handshake error which occurred on some ssl implementations.

Own Id: OTP-8793

Revise the public_key API - Cleaned up and documented the public_key API to make it useful for general use, also changed ssl to use the new API.

Own Id: OTP-8722

Added support for inputing certificates and keys directly in DER format these options will override the pem-file options if specified.

Own Id: OTP-8723

To gain interoperability ssl will not check for padding errors when using TLS 1.0. It is first in TLS 1.1 that checking the padding is an requirement.

Own Id: OTP-8740

Changed the semantics of the verify_fun option in the ssl-application so that it takes care of both application handling of path validation errors and verification of application specific extensions. This means that it is now possible for the server application in verify_peer mode to handle path validation errors. This change moved some functionality earlier in ssl to the public_key application.

Own Id: OTP-8770

Added the functionality so that the verification fun will be called when a certificate is considered valid by the path validation to allow access to each certificate in the path to the user application. Also try to verify subject-AltName, if unable to verify it let the application verify it.

Own Id: OTP-8825

New ssl now support client/server-certificates signed by dsa keys.

Own Id: OTP-8587

Ssl has now switched default implementation and removed deprecated certificate handling. All certificate handling is done by the public_key application.

Own Id: OTP-8695
