A new format option can be passed to the "show ssl ocsp-response" CLI
command to dump the contents of an OCSP response in base64. This is
needed because thanks to the new OCSP auto update mechanism, we could
end up using an OCSP response internally that was never provided by the
user.
In case of successive OCSP update errors for a given OCSP response, the
retry delay will be multiplied by 2 for every new failure in order to
avoid retrying too often to update responses for which the responder is
unresponsive (for instance). The maximum delay will still be taken into
account so the OCSP update requests will wtill be sent at least every
hour.
Instead of using the same proxy as other http client calls (through lua
for instance), the OCSP update will use a dedicated proxy which will
enable it to change the log format and log conditions (for instance).
This proxy will have the NOLOGNORM option and regular logging will be
managed by the update task itself because in order to dump information
related to OCSP updates, we need to control the moment when the logs are
emitted (instead or relying on the stream's life which is decorrelated
from the update itself).
The update task then calls sess_log directly, which uses a dedicated
ocsp logformat that fetches specific OCSP data. Sess_log was preferred
to the more low level app_log because it offers the strength of
"regular" sample fetches and allows to add generic information alongside
OCSP ones in the log line.
In case of connection error (unreachable server for instance), a regular
httpclient log line will also be emitted. This line will have some extra
HTTP related info that can't be provided by the ocsp update logging
mechanism.
This patch adds a series of sample fetches that rely on the specified
OCSP update context structure. They will then be of use only in the
context of an ongoing OCSP update.
They cannot be used directly in the configuration so they won't be made
public. They will be used in the OCSP update's specific log format which
should be emitted by the update task itself in a future patch.
This command can be used to dump information about the entries contained
in the ocsp update tree. It will display one line per concerned OCSP
response and will contain the expected next update time as well as the
time of the last successful update, and the number of successful and
failed attempts.
Those new specific error codes will enable to know a bit better what
went wrong during and OCSP update process. They will come to use in
future sample fetches as well as in debugging means (via the cli or
future traces).
In case of allocation error during the construction of an OCSP request
for instance, we would have ended reinserting the ocsp entry at the same
place in the ocsp update tree which could potentially lead to an
"endless" loop of errors in ssl_ocsp_update_responses. In such a case,
entries are now reinserted further in the tree (1 minute later) in order
to avoid such a chain of alloc failure.
Deduplicate the code which checks the OCSP update in the ckch_store and
in the crtlist_entry.
Also, jump immediatly to error handling when the ERR_FATAL is catched.
This patch fixes two leaks in the 'update ssl ocsp-response' cli
command. One rather significant one since a whole trash buffer was
allocated for every call of the command, and another more marginal one
in an error path.
This patch does not need to be backported.
When updating an OCSP response, in case of HTTP error (host unreachable
for instance) we do not want to reinsert the entry at the same place in
the update tree otherwise we might retry immediately the update of the
same response. This patch adds an arbitrary 1min time to the next_update
of a response in such a case.
After an HTTP error, instead of waking the update task up after an
arbitrary 10s time, we look for the first entry of the update tree and
sleep for the apropriate time.
In the unlikely event that the ocsp update task is started but the
update tree is empty, put the update task to sleep indefinitely.
The only way this can happen is if the same certificate is loaded under
two different names while the second one has the 'ocsp-update on'
option. Since the certificate names are distinct we will have two
ckch_stores but a single certificate_ocsp because they are identified by
the OCSP_CERTID which is built out of the issuer certificate and the
certificate id (which are the same regardless of the .pem file name).
An arbitrary 5 minutes minimum interval between two updates of the same
OCSP response is defined but it was not properly used when inserting
entries in the update tree.
This patch does not need to be backported.
When calling 'update ssl ocsp-response' with an unknown certificate file
name, the error message would mention a "ckch_store" which is an
internal structure unknown by users.
The ocsp_uri field of the certificate_ocsp structure was a 16k buffer
when it could be hand allocated to just the required size to store the
OCSP uri. This field is now behaving the same way as the sctl and
ocsp_response buffers of the ckch_store structure.
In the unlikely event that the OCSP udpate task is killed in the middle
of an update process (request sent but no response received yet) the
cur_ocsp member of the update context would keep an unneeded reference
to a certificate_ocsp object. It must then be freed during the task's
cleanup.
When calling OCSP_basic_verify to check the validity of the received
OCSP response, we need to provide an untrusted certificate chain as well
as an X509_STORE holding only trusted certificates. Since the
certificate chain and the issuer certificate are all provided by the
user, we assume that they are valid and we add them all to a temporary
store. This enables to focus only on the response's validity.
When ocsp-update is enabled for a given certificate, its
certificate_ocsp objects is inserted in two separate trees (the actual
ocsp response one and the ocsp update one). But since the same instance
is used for the two trees, its ownership is kept by the regular ocsp
response one. The ocsp update task should then never have to free the
ocsp entries. The crash actually occurred because of this. The update
task was freeing entries whose reference counter was not increased while
a reference was still held by the SSL_CTXs.
The only time during which the ocsp update task will need to increase
the reference counter is during an actual update, because at this moment
the entry is taken out of the update tree and a 'flying' reference to
the certificate_ocsp is kept in the ocsp update context.
This bug could be reproduced by calling './haproxy -f conf.cfg -c' with
any of the used certificates having the 'ocsp-update on' option. For
some reason asan caught the bug easily but valgrind did not.
This patch does not need to be backported.
This CLI command crashed when called for a certificate which did not
have an OCSP response during startup because it assumed that the
ocsp_issuer pointer of the ckch_data object would be valid. It was only
true for already known OCSP responses though.
The ocsp issuer certificate is now taken either from the ocsp_issuer
pointer or looked for in the certificate chain. This is the same logic
as the one in ssl_sock_load_ocsp.
This patch does not need to be backported.
When converting an OCSP request's information into base64, the return
value of a2base64 is checked but processing is not interrupted when it
returns a negative value, which was caught by coverity.
This patch fixes GitHub issue #1974.
It does not need to be backported.
