| |
| =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| |
| SSL_CTX_set_options() adds the options set via bit-mask in B<options> to B<ctx>. |
| Options already set before are not cleared! |
| |
| SSL_set_options() adds the options set via bit-mask in B<options> to B<ssl>. |
| Options already set before are not cleared! |
| |
| SSL_CTX_clear_options() clears the options set via bit-mask in B<options> |
| to B<ctx>. |
| |
| SSL_clear_options() clears the options set via bit-mask in B<options> to B<ssl>. |
| |
| SSL_CTX_get_options() returns the options set for B<ctx>. |
| |
| SSL_get_options() returns the options set for B<ssl>. |
| |
| SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() indicates whether the peer supports |
| secure renegotiation. |
| Note, this is implemented via a macro. |
| |
| =head1 NOTES |
| |
| The behaviour of the SSL library can be changed by setting several options. |
| The options are coded as bit-masks and can be combined by a bitwise B<or> |
| operation (|). |
| |
| SSL_CTX_set_options() and SSL_set_options() affect the (external) |
| protocol behaviour of the SSL library. The (internal) behaviour of |
| the API can be changed by using the similar |
| L<SSL_CTX_set_mode(3)> and SSL_set_mode() functions. |
| |
| During a handshake, the option settings of the SSL object are used. When |
| a new SSL object is created from a context using SSL_new(), the current |
| option setting is copied. Changes to B<ctx> do not affect already created |
| SSL objects. SSL_clear() does not affect the settings. |
| |
| The following B<bug workaround> options are available: |
| |
| =over 4 |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_CRYPTOPRO_TLSEXT_BUG |
| |
| Add server-hello extension from the early version of cryptopro draft |
| when GOST ciphersuite is negotiated. Required for interoperability with CryptoPro |
| CSP 3.x. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS |
| |
| Disables a countermeasure against a SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol |
| vulnerability affecting CBC ciphers, which cannot be handled by some |
| broken SSL implementations. This option has no effect for connections |
| using other ciphers. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG |
| |
| Don't prefer ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be Safari on OS X. |
| OS X 10.8..10.8.3 has broken support for ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_TLSEXT_PADDING |
| |
| Adds a padding extension to ensure the ClientHello size is never between |
| 256 and 511 bytes in length. This is needed as a workaround for some |
| implementations. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_ALL |
| |
| All of the above bug workarounds. |
| |
| =back |
| |
| It is usually safe to use B<SSL_OP_ALL> to enable the bug workaround |
| options if compatibility with somewhat broken implementations is |
| desired. |
| |
| The following B<modifying> options are available: |
| |
| =over 4 |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_ALLOW_CLIENT_RENEGOTIATION |
| |
| Client-initiated renegotiation is disabled by default. Use |
| this option to enable it. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_ALLOW_NO_DHE_KEX |
| |
| In TLSv1.3 allow a non-(ec)dhe based key exchange mode on resumption. This means |
| that there will be no forward secrecy for the resumed session. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION |
| |
| Allow legacy insecure renegotiation between OpenSSL and unpatched clients or |
| servers. See the B<SECURE RENEGOTIATION> section for more details. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE |
| |
| When choosing a cipher, use the server's preferences instead of the client |
| preferences. When not set, the SSL server will always follow the clients |
| preferences. When set, the SSL/TLS server will choose following its |
| own preferences. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_CISCO_ANYCONNECT |
| |
| Use Cisco's version identifier of DTLS_BAD_VER when establishing a DTLSv1 |
| connection. Only available when using the deprecated DTLSv1_client_method() API. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_CLEANSE_PLAINTEXT |
| |
| By default TLS connections keep a copy of received plaintext |
| application data in a static buffer until it is overwritten by the |
| next portion of data. When enabling SSL_OP_CLEANSE_PLAINTEXT |
| deciphered application data is cleansed by calling OPENSSL_cleanse(3) |
| after passing data to the application. Data is also cleansed when |
| releasing the connection (e.g. L<SSL_free(3)>). |
| |
| Since OpenSSL only cleanses internal buffers, the application is still |
| responsible for cleansing all other buffers. Most notably, this |
| applies to buffers passed to functions like L<SSL_read(3)>, |
| L<SSL_peek(3)> but also like L<SSL_write(3)>. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_COOKIE_EXCHANGE |
| |
| Turn on Cookie Exchange as described in RFC4347 Section 4.2.1. Only affects |
| DTLS connections. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_DISABLE_TLSEXT_CA_NAMES |
| |
| Disable TLS Extension CA Names. You may want to disable it for security reasons |
| or for compatibility with some Windows TLS implementations crashing when this |
| extension is larger than 1024 bytes. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_ENABLE_KTLS |
| |
| Enable the use of kernel TLS. In order to benefit from kernel TLS OpenSSL must |
| have been compiled with support for it, and it must be supported by the |
| negotiated ciphersuites and extensions. The specific ciphersuites and extensions |
| that are supported may vary by platform and kernel version. |
| |
| The kernel TLS data-path implements the record layer, and the encryption |
| algorithm. The kernel will utilize the best hardware |
| available for encryption. Using the kernel data-path should reduce the memory |
| footprint of OpenSSL because no buffering is required. Also, the throughput |
| should improve because data copy is avoided when user data is encrypted into |
| kernel memory instead of the usual encrypt then copy to kernel. |
| |
| Kernel TLS might not support all the features of OpenSSL. For instance, |
| renegotiation, and setting the maximum fragment size is not possible as of |
| Linux 4.20. |
| |
| Note that with kernel TLS enabled some cryptographic operations are performed |
| by the kernel directly and not via any available OpenSSL Providers. This might |
| be undesirable if, for example, the application requires all cryptographic |
| operations to be performed by the FIPS provider. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_ENABLE_MIDDLEBOX_COMPAT |
| |
| If set then dummy Change Cipher Spec (CCS) messages are sent in TLSv1.3. This |
| has the effect of making TLSv1.3 look more like TLSv1.2 so that middleboxes that |
| do not understand TLSv1.3 will not drop the connection. Regardless of whether |
| this option is set or not CCS messages received from the peer will always be |
| ignored in TLSv1.3. This option is set by default. To switch it off use |
| SSL_clear_options(). A future version of OpenSSL may not set this by default. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF |
| |
| Some TLS implementations do not send the mandatory close_notify alert on |
| shutdown. If the application tries to wait for the close_notify alert but the |
| peer closes the connection without sending it, an error is generated. When this |
| option is enabled the peer does not need to send the close_notify alert and a |
| closed connection will be treated as if the close_notify alert was received. |
| |
| You should only enable this option if the protocol running over TLS |
| can detect a truncation attack itself, and that the application is checking for |
| that truncation attack. |
| |
| For more information on shutting down a connection, see L<SSL_shutdown(3)>. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT |
| |
| Allow legacy insecure renegotiation between OpenSSL and unpatched servers |
| B<only>. See the B<SECURE RENEGOTIATION> section for more details. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_NO_ANTI_REPLAY |
| |
| By default, when a server is configured for early data (i.e., max_early_data > 0), |
| OpenSSL will switch on replay protection. See L<SSL_read_early_data(3)> for a |
| description of the replay protection feature. Anti-replay measures are required |
| to comply with the TLSv1.3 specification. Some applications may be able to |
| mitigate the replay risks in other ways and in such cases the built in OpenSSL |
| functionality is not required. Those applications can turn this feature off by |
| setting this option. This is a server-side opton only. It is ignored by |
| clients. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION |
| |
| Do not use compression even if it is supported. This option is set by default. |
| To switch it off use SSL_clear_options(). |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC |
| |
| Normally clients and servers will transparently attempt to negotiate the |
| RFC7366 Encrypt-then-MAC option on TLS and DTLS connection. |
| |
| If this option is set, Encrypt-then-MAC is disabled. Clients will not |
| propose, and servers will not accept the extension. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_NO_EXTENDED_MASTER_SECRET |
| |
| Normally clients and servers will transparently attempt to negotiate the |
| RFC7627 Extended Master Secret option on TLS and DTLS connection. |
| |
| If this option is set, Extended Master Secret is disabled. Clients will |
| not propose, and servers will not accept the extension. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_NO_QUERY_MTU |
| |
| Do not query the MTU. Only affects DTLS connections. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION |
| |
| Disable all renegotiation in TLSv1.2 and earlier. Do not send HelloRequest |
| messages, and ignore renegotiation requests via ClientHello. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION |
| |
| When performing renegotiation as a server, always start a new session |
| (i.e., session resumption requests are only accepted in the initial |
| handshake). This option is not needed for clients. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3, SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, |
| SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2, SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_3, SSL_OP_NO_DTLSv1, SSL_OP_NO_DTLSv1_2 |
| |
| These options turn off the SSLv3, TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2 or TLSv1.3 protocol |
| versions with TLS or the DTLSv1, DTLSv1.2 versions with DTLS, |
| respectively. |
| As of OpenSSL 1.1.0, these options are deprecated, use |
| L<SSL_CTX_set_min_proto_version(3)> and |
| L<SSL_CTX_set_max_proto_version(3)> instead. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_NO_TICKET |
| |
| SSL/TLS supports two mechanisms for resuming sessions: session ids and stateless |
| session tickets. |
| |
| When using session ids a copy of the session information is |
| cached on the server and a unique id is sent to the client. When the client |
| wishes to resume it provides the unique id so that the server can retrieve the |
| session information from its cache. |
| |
| When using stateless session tickets the server uses a session ticket encryption |
| key to encrypt the session information. This encrypted data is sent to the |
| client as a "ticket". When the client wishes to resume it sends the encrypted |
| data back to the server. The server uses its key to decrypt the data and resume |
| the session. In this way the server can operate statelessly - no session |
| information needs to be cached locally. |
| |
| The TLSv1.3 protocol only supports tickets and does not directly support session |
| ids. However, OpenSSL allows two modes of ticket operation in TLSv1.3: stateful |
| and stateless. Stateless tickets work the same way as in TLSv1.2 and below. |
| Stateful tickets mimic the session id behaviour available in TLSv1.2 and below. |
| The session information is cached on the server and the session id is wrapped up |
| in a ticket and sent back to the client. When the client wishes to resume, it |
| presents a ticket in the same way as for stateless tickets. The server can then |
| extract the session id from the ticket and retrieve the session information from |
| its cache. |
| |
| By default OpenSSL will use stateless tickets. The SSL_OP_NO_TICKET option will |
| cause stateless tickets to not be issued. In TLSv1.2 and below this means no |
| ticket gets sent to the client at all. In TLSv1.3 a stateful ticket will be |
| sent. This is a server-side option only. |
| |
| In TLSv1.3 it is possible to suppress all tickets (stateful and stateless) from |
| being sent by calling L<SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets(3)> or |
| L<SSL_set_num_tickets(3)>. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_PRIORITIZE_CHACHA |
| |
| When SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE is set, temporarily reprioritize |
| ChaCha20-Poly1305 ciphers to the top of the server cipher list if a |
| ChaCha20-Poly1305 cipher is at the top of the client cipher list. This helps |
| those clients (e.g. mobile) use ChaCha20-Poly1305 if that cipher is anywhere |
| in the server cipher list; but still allows other clients to use AES and other |
| ciphers. Requires B<SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE>. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG |
| |
| Disable version rollback attack detection. |
| |
| During the client key exchange, the client must send the same information |
| about acceptable SSL/TLS protocol levels as during the first hello. Some |
| clients violate this rule by adapting to the server's answer. (Example: |
| the client sends a SSLv2 hello and accepts up to SSLv3.1=TLSv1, the server |
| only understands up to SSLv3. In this case the client must still use the |
| same SSLv3.1=TLSv1 announcement. Some clients step down to SSLv3 with respect |
| to the server's answer and violate the version rollback protection.) |

| =head1 SECURE RENEGOTIATION |
| |
| OpenSSL always attempts to use secure renegotiation as |
| described in RFC5746. This counters the prefix attack described in |
| CVE-2009-3555 and elsewhere. |
| |
| This attack has far reaching consequences which application writers should be |
| aware of. In the description below an implementation supporting secure |
| renegotiation is referred to as I<patched>. A server not supporting secure |
| renegotiation is referred to as I<unpatched>. |
| |
| The following sections describe the operations permitted by OpenSSL's secure |
| renegotiation implementation. |
| |
| =head2 Patched client and server |
| |
| Connections and renegotiation are always permitted by OpenSSL implementations. |
| |
| =head2 Unpatched client and patched OpenSSL server |
| |
| The initial connection succeeds but client renegotiation is denied by the |
| server with a B<no_renegotiation> warning alert if TLS v1.0 is used or a fatal |
| B<handshake_failure> alert in SSL v3.0. |
| |
| If the patched OpenSSL server attempts to renegotiate a fatal |
| B<handshake_failure> alert is sent. This is because the server code may be |
| unaware of the unpatched nature of the client. |
| |
| If the option B<SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION> is set then |
| renegotiation B<always> succeeds. |
| |
| =head2 Patched OpenSSL client and unpatched server |
| |
| If the option B<SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT> or |
| B<SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION> is set then initial connections |
| and renegotiation between patched OpenSSL clients and unpatched servers |
| succeeds. If neither option is set then initial connections to unpatched |
| servers will fail. |
| |
| Setting the option B<SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT> has security implications; |
| clients that are willing to connect to servers that do not implement |
| RFC 5746 secure renegotiation are subject to attacks such as |
| CVE-2009-3555. |
| |
| OpenSSL client applications wishing to ensure they can connect to unpatched |
| servers should always B<set> B<SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT> |
| |
| OpenSSL client applications that want to ensure they can B<not> connect to |
| unpatched servers (and thus avoid any security issues) should always B<clear> |
| B<SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT> using SSL_CTX_clear_options() or |
| SSL_clear_options(). |
| |
| The difference between the B<SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT> and |
| B<SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION> options is that |
| B<SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT> enables initial connections and secure |
| renegotiation between OpenSSL clients and unpatched servers B<only>, while |
| B<SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION> allows initial connections |
| and renegotiation between OpenSSL and unpatched clients or servers. |
| |
| =head1 RETURN VALUES |
| |
| SSL_CTX_set_options() and SSL_set_options() return the new options bit-mask |
| after adding B<options>. |
| |
| SSL_CTX_clear_options() and SSL_clear_options() return the new options bit-mask |
| after clearing B<options>. |
| |
| SSL_CTX_get_options() and SSL_get_options() return the current bit-mask. |
| |
| SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() returns 1 is the peer supports |
| secure renegotiation and 0 if it does not. |

| =head1 HISTORY |
| |
| The attempt to always try to use secure renegotiation was added in |
| OpenSSL 0.9.8m. |
| |
| The B<SSL_OP_PRIORITIZE_CHACHA> and B<SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION> options |
| were added in OpenSSL 1.1.1. |
| |
| The B<SSL_OP_NO_EXTENDED_MASTER_SECRET> and B<SSL_OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF> |
| options were added in OpenSSL 3.0. |
| |
| The B<SSL_OP_> constants and the corresponding parameter and return values |
| of the affected functions were changed to C<uint64_t> type in OpenSSL 3.0. |
| For that reason it is no longer possible use the B<SSL_OP_> macro values |
| in preprocessor C<#if> conditions. However it is still possible to test |
| whether these macros are defined or not. |
