When building software for the masses, it is sometimes not possible to
decide for all users which SSL backend is appropriate.
Git for Windows, for example, uses cURL to perform clones, fetches and
pushes via HTTPS, and some users strongly prefer OpenSSL, while other
users really need to use Secure Channel because it offers
enterprise-ready tools to manage credentials via Windows' Credential
Store.
The current Git for Windows versions use the ugly work-around of
building libcurl once with OpenSSL support and once with Secure Channel
support, and switching out the binaries in the installer depending on
the user's choice.
Needless to say, this is a super ugly workaround that actually only
works in some cases: Git for Windows also comes in a portable form, and
in a form intended for third-party applications requiring Git
functionality, in which cases this "swap out libcurl-4.dll" simply is
not an option.
Therefore, the Git for Windows project has a vested interest in teaching
cURL to make the SSL backend a *runtime* option.
This patch makes that possible.
By running ./configure with multiple --with-<backend> options, cURL will
be built with multiple backends.
For the moment, the backend can be configured using the environment
variable CURL_SSL_BACKEND (valid values are e.g. "openssl" and
"schannel").

These functions are all available via the Curl_ssl struct now, no need
to declare them separately anymore.
As the global declarations are removed, the corresponding function
definitions are marked as file-local. The only two exceptions here are
Curl_mbedtls_shutdown() and Curl_polarssl_shutdown(): only the
declarations were removed, there are no function definitions to mark
file-local.
Please note that Curl_nss_force_init() is *still* declared globally, as
the only SSL backend-specific function, because it was introduced
specifically for the use case where cURL was compiled with
`--without-ssl --with-nss`. For details, see f3b77e561 (http_ntlm: add
support for NSS, 2010-06-27).

The SHA-256 checksumming is also an SSL backend-specific function.
Let's include it in the struct declaring the functionality of SSL
backends.
In contrast to MD5, there is no fall-back code. To indicate this, the
respective entries are NULL for those backends that offer no support for
SHA-256 checksumming.

The MD5 summing is also an SSL backend-specific function. So let's
include it, offering the previous fall-back code as a separate function
now: Curl_none_md5sum(). To allow for that, the signature had to be
changed so that an error could be returned from the implementation
(Curl_none_md5sum() can run out of memory).

This is the first step to unify the SSL backend handling. Now all the
SSL backend-specific functionality is accessed via a global instance of
the Curl_ssl struct.

The idea of introducing the Curl_ssl struct was to unify how the SSL
backends are declared and called. To this end, we now provide an
instance of the Curl_ssl struct for each and every SSL backend.

This commit introduces the CURL_SSLVERSION_MAX_* constants as well as
the --tls-max option of the curl tool.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/1166
Fixed an old leftover use of the USE_SSLEAY define which would make a
socket get removed from the applications sockets to monitor when the
multi_socket API was used, leading to timeouts.
Bug: #1174
* HTTPS proxies:
An HTTPS proxy receives all transactions over an SSL/TLS connection.
Once a secure connection with the proxy is established, the user agent
uses the proxy as usual, including sending CONNECT requests to instruct
the proxy to establish a [usually secure] TCP tunnel with an origin
server. HTTPS proxies protect nearly all aspects of user-proxy
communications as opposed to HTTP proxies that receive all requests
(including CONNECT requests) in vulnerable clear text.
With HTTPS proxies, it is possible to have two concurrent _nested_
SSL/TLS sessions: the "outer" one between the user agent and the proxy
and the "inner" one between the user agent and the origin server
(through the proxy). This change adds supports for such nested sessions
as well.
A secure connection with a proxy requires its own set of the usual SSL
options (their actual descriptions differ and need polishing, see TODO):
--proxy-cacert FILE CA certificate to verify peer against
--proxy-capath DIR CA directory to verify peer against
--proxy-cert CERT[:PASSWD] Client certificate file and password
--proxy-cert-type TYPE Certificate file type (DER/PEM/ENG)
--proxy-ciphers LIST SSL ciphers to use
--proxy-crlfile FILE Get a CRL list in PEM format from the file
--proxy-insecure Allow connections to proxies with bad certs
--proxy-key KEY Private key file name
--proxy-key-type TYPE Private key file type (DER/PEM/ENG)
--proxy-pass PASS Pass phrase for the private key
--proxy-ssl-allow-beast Allow security flaw to improve interop
--proxy-sslv2 Use SSLv2
--proxy-sslv3 Use SSLv3
--proxy-tlsv1 Use TLSv1
--proxy-tlsuser USER TLS username
--proxy-tlspassword STRING TLS password
--proxy-tlsauthtype STRING TLS authentication type (default SRP)
All --proxy-foo options are independent from their --foo counterparts,
except --proxy-crlfile which defaults to --crlfile and --proxy-capath
which defaults to --capath.
Curl now also supports %{proxy_ssl_verify_result} --write-out variable,
similar to the existing %{ssl_verify_result} variable.
Supported backends: OpenSSL, GnuTLS, and NSS.
* A SOCKS proxy + HTTP/HTTPS proxy combination:
If both --socks* and --proxy options are given, Curl first connects to
the SOCKS proxy and then connects (through SOCKS) to the HTTP or HTTPS
proxy.
TODO: Update documentation for the new APIs and --proxy-* options.
Look for "Added in 7.XXX" marks.
Now Curl_rand() is made to fail if it cannot get the necessary random
level.
Changed the proto of Curl_rand() slightly to provide a number of ints at
once.
Moved out from vtls, since it isn't a TLS function and vtls provides
Curl_ssl_random() for this to use.
Discussion: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2016-11/0119.html
Prior to this change we called Curl_ssl_getsessionid and
Curl_ssl_addsessionid regardless of whether session ID reusing was
enabled. According to comments that is in case session ID reuse was
disabled but then later enabled.
The old way was not intuitive and probably not something users expected.
When a user disables session ID caching I'd guess they don't expect the
session ID to be cached anyway in case the caching is later enabled.
Sessionid cache management is inseparable from managing individual
session lifetimes. E.g. for reference-counted sessions (like those in
SChannel and OpenSSL engines) every session addition and removal
should be accompanied with refcount increment and decrement
respectively. Failing to do so synchronously leads to a race condition
that causes symptoms like use-after-free and memory corruption.
This commit:
- makes existing session cache locking explicit, thus allowing
individual engines to manage lock's scope.
- fixes OpenSSL and SChannel engines by putting refcount management
inside this lock's scope in relevant places.
- adds these explicit locking calls to other engines that use
sessionid cache to accommodate for this change. Note, however,
that it is unknown whether any of these engines could also have
this race.
Bug: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/815Fixes#815Closes#847
- Change the designator name we use to show the base64 encoded sha256
hash of the server's public key from 'pinnedpubkey' to
'public key hash'.
Though the server's public key hash is only shown when comparing pinned
public key hashes, the server's hash may not match one of the pinned.
This header file must be included after all header files except
memdebug.h, as it does similar memory function redefinitions and can be
similarly affected by conflicting definitions in system or dependent
library headers.
The function "free" is documented in the way that no action shall occur for
a passed null pointer. It is therefore not needed that a function caller
repeats a corresponding check.

This option can be used to enable/disable certificate status verification using
the "Certificate Status Request" TLS extension defined in RFC6066 section 8.
This also adds the CURLE_SSL_INVALIDCERTSTATUS error, to be used when the
certificate status verification fails, and the Curl_ssl_cert_status_request()
function, used to check whether the SSL backend supports the status_request
extension.
Otherwise Curl_ssl_init_certinfo() can fail and set the num_of_certs
member variable to the requested count, which could then be used
incorrectly as libcurl closes down.
The return type for this function was 0 on success and 1 on error. This
was then examined by the calling functions and, in most cases, used to
return CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY.
Instead use CURLcode for the return type and return the out of memory
error directly, propagating it up the call stack.
The return type of this function is a boolean value, and even uses a
bool internally, so use bool in the function declaration as well as
the variables that store the return value, to avoid any confusion.
... for the local variable name in functions holding the return
code. Using the same name universally makes code easier to read and
follow.
Also, unify code for checking for CURLcode errors with:
if(result) or if(!result)
instead of
if(result == CURLE_OK), if(CURLE_OK == result) or if(result != CURLE_OK)
It turned out some features were not enabled in the build since for
example url.c #ifdefs on features that are defined on a per-backend
basis but vtls.h didn't include the backend headers.
CURLOPT_CERTINFO was one such feature that was accidentally disabled.
To force each backend implementation to really attempt to provide proper
random. If a proper random function is missing, then we can explicitly
make use of the default one we use when TLS support is missing.
This commit makes sure it works for darwinssl, gnutls, nss and openssl.
Curl_rand() will return a dummy and repatable random value for this
case. Makes it possible to write test cases that verify output.
Also, fake timestamp with CURL_FORCETIME set.
Only when built debug enabled of course.
Curl_ssl_random() was not used anymore so it has been
removed. Curl_rand() is enough.
