Public bug reported: Upgrade of libssl1.0.0 Precise from version 1.0.1-4ubuntu5.5 to version 1.0.1-4ubuntu5.7 causes failure of negotiation by old clients.
I am running apache2 on servers with self-signed certs (I enclose one such). Before upgrade, I can do a 'curl -k' (insecure) and connect successfully whether or not the CN in the self-signed certificate matches the CN in the URL, and irrespective of the version of libssl running on the client (for this test I am using an IP address and a domain name mapping to that IP address). Certs are generated with openssl genrsa -out foo.key 1024 openssl req -new -key foo.key foo.csr -subj "/C=XX/ST=Test/L=Test/O=Test/OU=Test/CN=${ENDPOINT}" openssl x509 -req -days 36500 -in foo.csr -signkey foo.key -out foo.crt After the upgrade, all works fine from the host itself (i.e. curl to the IP address in the CN, or curl to a DNS name pointing to it but not in the CN), but connection from older clients report: Ximines:~ amb$ curl -vvvvvv -k "https://cp.dev2.flexiant.net:4443/?wsdl" ; echo "" * About to connect() to cp.dev2.flexiant.net port 4443 (#0) * Trying 10.20.0.2... connected * Connected to cp.dev2.flexiant.net (10.20.0.2) port 4443 (#0) * SSLv3, TLS handshake, Client hello (1): * error:14077458:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:reason(1112) * Closing connection #0 curl: (35) error:14077458:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:reason(1112) whereas $ curl -k "https://10.20.0.2:4443/?wsdl" works fine This error is ONLY produced when connecting to a URL not matching the CN. If I connect to a URL that does match the CN it works fine (presumably it bails out earlier). If I force version 3 negotiation with the -3 option, it works fine. As the version of curl has not changed, I suspect libssl, though it's possible curl is not checking for all error conditions. Self-signed cert that errors (private key is worthless so included too): -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIICMzCCAZwCCQCX1VMZB/s5ozANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBdMQswCQYDVQQGEwJY WDENMAsGA1UECAwEVGVzdDENMAsGA1UEBwwEVGVzdDENMAsGA1UECgwEVGVzdDEN MAsGA1UECwwEVGVzdDESMBAGA1UEAwwJMTAuMjAuMC4yMCAXDTEyMTEwMjExNTIz N1oYDzIxMTIxMDA5MTE1MjM3WjBdMQswCQYDVQQGEwJYWDENMAsGA1UECAwEVGVz dDENMAsGA1UEBwwEVGVzdDENMAsGA1UECgwEVGVzdDENMAsGA1UECwwEVGVzdDES MBAGA1UEAwwJMTAuMjAuMC4yMIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQC1 1b1RegfDBSATwP7W5kxY6oB1dgBQDmxU9gOhGo06NEyUt88mZmRCLuw9eI9c3Ho/ 2P3DleB1HC+8buFn4b0+1c6Chk+gGifsX+3mHmVgjoeoxxk8+3wOjw848FxJ+RZ1 H/FHFPDSjQPfIg6jFPo5Wab4g7Depb/PoDOjgWQ+nQIDAQABMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEB BQUAA4GBAArf2LS6G3Mh21qrR0UiAc1ekFw3JQvjRG8MSl+nCX3eHjBk1PDvMYs0 Hfh6HVRCBcleQn7xMHxTXw7wNyaoFeI4hl+GYHwzJONcVVSq+1wfIuzPC0YY6uPi jUOSgUdnWvbZje0W4VM3/437793wPtP+fUVwEAAOGT70tC65R3CI -----END CERTIFICATE----- -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- MIICXAIBAAKBgQC11b1RegfDBSATwP7W5kxY6oB1dgBQDmxU9gOhGo06NEyUt88m ZmRCLuw9eI9c3Ho/2P3DleB1HC+8buFn4b0+1c6Chk+gGifsX+3mHmVgjoeoxxk8 +3wOjw848FxJ+RZ1H/FHFPDSjQPfIg6jFPo5Wab4g7Depb/PoDOjgWQ+nQIDAQAB AoGAJgWzuL3Tsav4sSjCIR23CUC/68/o8NSTQpDO4Xkz3t/gw5hL8LOoc05sh84V 7E0OIxu0tJk6fkKOmNB2wcoqUAbcFnyItvi76EirQ2nu7x7zBhVNhJuYBGvTegG9 ByN7+arc+jvRq1Y36c999SN0wYEZpMdIKKOLBO2RgYnmQ+ECQQDoKVd6aH3fOlAC ufTLH9duOILjeshH+N/Zuedq1eSA7tBTl3pdbHBbtGmim78brjelhqMn1GWqF3Y1 qWgyIq3jAkEAyIGAEb8EUGT/qOfMdvH52PvQGfMn3ZHT7FTC2m2ScV8kJb6UgrCi mw6ZYDgSbMhm6xA7ow3wxORq4+s9ChEJfwJASEtXak7Po4vNDoxJplcsBq6iU6QQ ahkd2/cAEUy580xqox0whZcXBfeQTYqiYERIH8tlUynY3rafoOY4BCS4cQJAOcSl 43cHhSo0RrPSQwrgk1Wp1XArMjlLt7GMGmarZKKmxYEtRKIjl00Tf5doJ5Nto5gf tpDTp8avzU7/XSEffQJBALupHWw2N+OZd1k2XVVp2AKaL1qRzna5xl6SfP9rIhme LdZdCMkt4nSKJ1f0HGdIYnbUXm8zeffSnOlWwaeCLRg= -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- ** Affects: openssl (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1144408 Title: libssl upgrade causes failure from old clients To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+bug/1144408/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
