=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:
|
|

|
|
|
=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_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_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_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 plus B<SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT> as
|
|
mentioned below.
|
|
|
|
=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_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.)
|
|
|
|
=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_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_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_COMPRESSION
|
|
|
|
Do not use compression even if it is supported.
|
|
|
|
=item SSL_OP_NO_QUERY_MTU
|
|
|
|
Do not query the MTU. Only affects DTLS connections.
|
|
|
|
=item SSL_OP_COOKIE_EXCHANGE
|
|
|
|
Turn on Cookie Exchange as described in RFC4347 Section 4.2.1. Only affects
|
|
DTLS connections.
|
|
|
|
=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_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_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT
|
|
|
|
Allow legacy insecure renegotiation between OpenSSL and unpatched servers
|
|
B<only>: this option is currently set by default. See the
|
|
B<SECURE RENEGOTIATION> section for more details.
|
|
|
|
=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_RENEGOTIATION
|
|
|
|
Disable all renegotiation in TLSv1.2 and earlier. Do not send HelloRequest
|
|
messages, and ignore renegotiation requests via ClientHello.
|
|
|
|
=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_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_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_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_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_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)>.

=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.
|
|
|
|
The option B<SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT> is currently set by default even
|
|
though it has security implications: otherwise it would be impossible to
|
|
connect to unpatched servers (i.e. all of them initially) and this is clearly
|
|
not acceptable. Renegotiation is permitted because this does not add any
|
|
additional security issues: during an attack clients do not see any
|
|
renegotiations anyway.
|
|
|
|
As more servers become patched the option B<SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT> will
|
|
B<not> be set by default in a future version of OpenSSL.
|
|
|
|
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.
