OpenSSL 1.1.0 and above uses BCrypt if available (Windows 7 or higher).
This results in an unusable binary on older Windows versions, when building
with newer Windows SDK (such as 7.0A). Using CFLAGS to define _WIN32_WINNT
allows to set a desired ABI and make sure the binary works with Windows XP.
To not mix with other potential CFLAGS uses, it is set in GNUmakefile.
When building OpenSSL 1.1.1b, as used for win32 builds, with tests
it takes about twice as long and near ~1GB of additional disk space.
Using "no-tests" OpenSSL configuration option allows to skip them.
Since such an option is supported since OpenSSL 1.1.1 only, it is
residing here and not in configure.
If X509_get_issuer_name() or X509_get_subject_name() returned NULL,
this could lead to a certificate reference leak. It cannot happen
in practice though, since each function returns an internal pointer
to a mandatory subfield of the certificate successfully decoded by
d2i_X509() during certificate message processing (closes#1751).
Previously the ngx_inet_resolve_host() function sorted addresses in a way that
IPv4 addresses came before IPv6 addresses. This was implemented in eaf95350d75c
(1.3.10) along with the introduction of getaddrinfo() which could resolve host
names to IPv6 addresses. Since the "listen" directive only used the first
address, sorting allowed to preserve "listen" compatibility with the previous
behavior and with the behavior of nginx built without IPv6 support. Now
"listen" uses all resolved addresses which makes sorting pointless.
Previously only one address was used by the listen directive handler even if
host name resolved to multiple addresses. Now a separate listening socket is
created for each address.
This makes it possible to provide certificates directly via variables
in ssl_certificate / ssl_certificate_key directives, without using
intermediate files.
It was accidentally introduced in 77436d9951a1 (1.15.9). In MSVC 2015
and more recent MSVC versions it triggers warning C4456 (declaration of
'pkey' hides previous local declaration). Previously, all such warnings
were resolved in 2a621245f4cf.

Server name callback is always called by OpenSSL, even
if server_name extension is not present in ClientHello. As such,
checking c->ssl->handshaked before the SSL_get_servername() result
should help to more effectively prevent renegotiation in
OpenSSL 1.1.0 - 1.1.0g, where neither SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS
nor SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION is available.
The SSL_OP_NO_CLIENT_RENEGOTIATION option was introduced in LibreSSL 2.5.1.
Unlike OpenSSL's SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION, it only disables client-initiated
renegotiation, and hence can be safely used on all SSL contexts.
If ngx_pool_cleanup_add() fails, we have to clean just created SSL context
manually, thus appropriate call added.
Additionally, ngx_pool_cleanup_add() moved closer to ngx_ssl_create() in
the ngx_http_ssl_module, to make sure there are no leaks due to intermediate
code.
Notably this affects various allocation errors, and should generally
improve things if an allocation error actually happens during a callback.
Depending on the OpenSSL version, returning an error can result in
either SSL_R_CALLBACK_FAILED or SSL_R_CLIENTHELLO_TLSEXT error from
SSL_do_handshake(), so both errors were switched to the "info" level.
OpenSSL 1.1.1 does not save server name to the session if server name
callback returns anything but SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_OK, thus breaking
the $ssl_server_name variable in resumed sessions.
Since $ssl_server_name can be used even if we've selected the default
server and there are no other servers, it looks like the only viable
solution is to always return SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_OK regardless of the actual
result.
To fix things in the stream module as well, added a dummy server name
callback which always returns SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_OK.
A virtual server may have no SSL context if it does not have certificates
defined, so we have to use config of the ngx_http_ssl_module from the
SSL context in the certificate callback. To do so, it is now passed as
the argument of the callback.
The stream module doesn't really need any changes, but was modified as
well to match http code.
Dynamic certificates re-introduce problem with incorrect session
reuse (AKA "virtual host confusion", CVE-2014-3616), since there are
no server certificates to generate session id context from.
To prevent this, session id context is now generated from ssl_certificate
directives as specified in the configuration. This approach prevents
incorrect session reuse in most cases, while still allowing sharing
sessions across multiple machines with ssl_session_ticket_key set as
long as configurations are identical.
Passwords have to be copied to the configuration pool to be used
at runtime. Also, to prevent blocking on stdin (with "daemon off;")
an empty password list is provided.
To make things simpler, password handling was modified to allow
an empty array (with 0 elements and elts set to NULL) as an equivalent
of an array with 1 empty password.
To evaluate variables, a request is created in the certificate callback,
and then freed. To do this without side effects on the stub_status
counters and connection state, an additional function was introduced,
ngx_http_alloc_request().
Only works with OpenSSL 1.0.2+, since there is no SSL_CTX_set_cert_cb()
in older versions.
This makes it possible to reuse certificate loading at runtime,
as introduced in the following patches.
Additionally, this improves error logging, so nginx will now log
human-friendly messages "cannot load certificate" instead of only
referring to sometimes cryptic names of OpenSSL functions.
The "(SSL:)" snippet currently appears in logs when nginx code uses
ngx_ssl_error() to log an error, but OpenSSL's error queue is empty.
This can happen either because the error wasn't in fact from OpenSSL,
or because OpenSSL did not indicate the error in the error queue
for some reason.
In particular, currently "(SSL:)" can be seen in errors at least in
the following cases:
- When SSL_write() fails due to a syscall error,
"[info] ... SSL_write() failed (SSL:) (32: Broken pipe)...".
- When loading a certificate with no data in it,
"[emerg] PEM_read_bio_X509_AUX(...) failed (SSL:)".
This can easily happen due to an additional empty line before
the end line, so all lines of the certificate are interpreted
as header lines.
- When trying to configure an unknown curve,
"[emerg] SSL_CTX_set1_curves_list("foo") failed (SSL:)".
Likely there are other cases as well.
With this change, "(SSL:...)" will be only added to the error message
if there is something in the error queue. This is expected to make
logs more readable in the above cases. Additionally, with this change
it is now possible to use ngx_ssl_error() to log errors when some
of the possible errors are not from OpenSSL and not expected to have
anything in the error queue.
Checking multiple errors at once is a bad practice, as in general
it is not guaranteed that an object can be used after the error.
In this particular case, checking errors after multiple allocations
can result in excessive errors being logged when there is no memory
available.
On Windows, connect() errors are only reported via exceptfds descriptor set
from select(). Previously exceptfds was set to NULL, and connect() errors
were not detected at all, so connects to closed ports were waiting till
a timeout occurred.
Since ongoing connect() means that there will be a write event active,
except descriptor set is copied from the write one. While it is possible
to construct except descriptor set as a concatenation of both read and write
descriptor sets, this looks unneeded.
With this change, connect() errors are properly detected now when using
select(). Note well that it is not possible to detect connect() errors with
WSAPoll() (see https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2012/10/10/wsapoll-is-broken/).
WSAPoll() is only available with Windows Vista and newer (and only
available during compilation if _WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0600). To make
sure the code works with Windows XP, we do not redefine _WIN32_WINNT,
but instead load WSAPoll() dynamically if it is not available during
compilation.
Also, sockets are not guaranteed to be small integers on Windows.
So an index array is used instead of NGX_USE_FD_EVENT to map
events to connections.
Previously, select was compiled in by default, but the NGX_HAVE_SELECT
macro was not set, resulting in iocp being used by default unless
the "--with-select_module" configure option was explicitly specified.
Since the iocp module is not finished and does not work properly, this
effectively meant that the "--with-select_module" option was mandatory.
With the change NGX_HAVE_SELECT is properly set, making "--with-select_module"
optional. Accordingly, it is removed from misc/GNUmakefile win32 target.
Previously, the code incorrectly assumed "ngx_event_t *" elements
instead of "struct pollfd".
This is mostly cosmetic change, as this code is never called now.
Previously, when using proxy_upload_rate and proxy_download_rate, the buffer
size for reading from a socket could be reduced as a result of rate limiting.
For connection-oriented protocols this behavior is normal since unread data will
normally be read at the next iteration. But for datagram-oriented protocols
this is not the case, and unread part of the datagram is lost.
Now buffer size is not limited for datagrams. Rate limiting still works in this
case by delaying the next reading event.
A shared connection does not own its file descriptor, which means that
ngx_handle_read_event/ngx_handle_write_event calls should do nothing for it.
Currently the c->shared flag is checked in several places in the stream proxy
module prior to calling these functions. However it was not done everywhere.
Missing checks could lead to calling
ngx_handle_read_event/ngx_handle_write_event on shared connections.
The problem manifested itself when using proxy_upload_rate and resulted in
either duplicate file descriptor error (e.g. with epoll) or incorrect further
udp packet processing (e.g. with kqueue).
The fix is to set and reset the event active flag in a way that prevents
ngx_handle_read_event/ngx_handle_write_event from scheduling socket events.
