Even during execution of a request it is possible that there will be
no session available, notably in case of renegotiation. As a result
logging of $ssl_session_id in some cases caused NULL pointer dereference
after revision 97e3769637a7 (1.5.9). The check added returns an empty
string if there is no session available.
Previously, it used to contain full session serialized instead of just
a session id, making it almost impossible to use the variable in a safe
way.
Thanks to Ivan Ristić.
If c->read->ready was reset, but later some data were read from a socket
buffer due to a call to ngx_ssl_recv(), the c->read->ready flag should
be restored if not all data were read from OpenSSL buffers (as kernel
won't notify us about the data anymore).

In case of fully populated SSL session cache with no memory left for
new allocations, ngx_ssl_new_session() will try to expire the oldest
non-expired session and retry, but only in case when slab allocation
fails for "cached_sess", not when slab allocation fails for either
"sess_id" or "id", which can happen for number of reasons and results
in new session not being cached.
Patch fixes this by adding retry logic to "sess_id" & "id" allocations.
Patch by Piotr Sikora.
Missing calls to ngx_handle_write_event() and ngx_handle_read_event()
resulted in a CPU hog during SSL handshake if an level-triggered event
method (e.g. select) was used.
According to documentation, calling SSL_write() with num=0 bytes to be sent
results in undefined behavior.
We don't currently call ngx_ssl_send_chain() with empty chain and buffer.
This check handles the case of a chain with total data size that is
a multiple of NGX_SSL_BUFSIZE, and with the special buffer at the end.
In practice such cases resulted in premature connection close and critical
error "SSL_write() failed (SSL:)" in the error log.
The patch saves one EC_KEY_generate_key() call per server{} block by
informing OpenSSL about SSL_OP_SINGLE_ECDH_USE we are going to use before
the SSL_CTX_set_tmp_ecdh() call.
For a configuration file with 10k simple server{} blocks with SSL enabled
this change reduces startup time from 18s to 5s on a slow test box here.
This includes the ssl_stapling_responder directive (defaults to OCSP
responder set in certificate's AIA extension).
OCSP response for a given certificate is requested once we get at least
one connection with certificate_status extension in ClientHello, and
certificate status won't be sent in the connection in question. This due
to limitations in the OpenSSL API (certificate status callback is blocking).
Note: SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() was reimplemented as it doesn't
allow to access the certificate loaded via SSL_CTX.
The directive allows to specify additional trusted Certificate Authority
certificates to be used during certificate verification. In contrast to
ssl_client_certificate DNs of these cerificates aren't sent to a client
during handshake.
Trusted certificates are loaded regardless of the fact whether client
certificates verification is enabled as the same certificates will be
used for OCSP stapling, during construction of an OCSP request and for
verification of an OCSP response.
The same applies to a CRL (which is now always loaded).
The SSL_COMP_get_compression_methods() is only available as an API
function in OpenSSL 0.9.8+, require it explicitly to unbreak build
with OpenSSL 0.9.7.
Previous code used sk_SSL_COMP_delete(ssl_comp_methods, i) while iterating
stack from 0 to n, resulting in removal of only even compression methods.
In real life this change is a nop, as there is only one compression method
which is enabled by default in OpenSSL.
Previous code incorrectly assumed that nodes with identical keys are linked
together. This might not be true after tree rebalance.
Patch by Lanshun Zhou.
It's already called by OPENSSL_config(). Calling it again causes some
openssl engines (notably GOST) to corrupt memory, as they don't expect
to be created more than once.
Support for TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 protocols was introduced in OpenSSL 1.0.1
(-beta1 was recently released). This change makes it possible to disable
these protocols and/or enable them without other protocols.
If connection has unsent alerts, SSL_shutdown() tries to send them even
if SSL_set_shutdown(SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN|SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN) was used.
This can be prevented by SSL_set_quiet_shutdown(). SSL_set_shutdown()
is required nevertheless to preserve session.
enabled in any server. The previous r1033 does not help when unused zone
becomes used after reconfiguration, so it is backed out.
The initial thought was to make SSL modules independed from SSL implementation
and to keep OpenSSL code dependance as much as in separate files.
and is shared among all hosts instead of pregenerating for every HTTPS host
on configuraiton phase. This decreases start time for configuration with
large number of HTTPS hosts.
