This is done upstream already in 2.4.7: http://svn.apache.org/r1542327 httpd also doesn't select correct curve for ECDHE when the RSA keys are big (i.e. >7680bits), making it impossible to make ECDHE suites conform to NIST SP 800-57 at higher security ratings than 128 bits.
Actual results:
tstclnt: SSL version 3.3 using 128-bit AES with 256-bit SHA256 MAC
tstclnt: Server Auth: 8192-bit RSA, Key Exchange: 256-bit ECDHE
Compression: NULL
Expected results:
tstclnt: SSL version 3.3 using 128-bit AES with 256-bit SHA256 MAC
tstclnt: Server Auth: 8192-bit RSA, Key Exchange: 384-bit ECDHE
Compression: NULL
(ignore AES-128 as NSS doesn't support SHA384 in TLS context and openssl s_sclient doesn't report ECDHE parameters size)
Automatic selection of ECDHE curves doesn't need to be fixed now, configuration with security levels over 128 bit is non trivial (requires also disabling session tickets) and the feature requires not implemented functionality in openssl (without which interoperability may be heavily impacted). I will create ECDHE specific bug once this issue is resolved. This bug is partially fixed as bug 1071292 (really a dupe of this one). Hubert has filed bug 1073078 and bug 1073081 to track further improvement. Shall we have another bug for auto selection of ECDHE curves, or we could reuse this one? I think that another bug would be cleaner OK, I'm duping this against 1071292. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1071292 *** |
Description of problem: When using DHE based cipher suites, the offered DH parameters by mod_ssl are always 1024 bit sized, even if the certificate used is 2048 bit. This makes httpd not compliant with NIST SP 800-131A when DHE cipher suite is negotiated since 1st of January this year. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): httpd-2.4.6-13.el7.x86_64 mod_ssl-2.4.6-13.el7.x86_64 nss-3.15.3-4.el7.x86_64 openssl-1.0.1e-29.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Generate RSA certificates that are 2048bit long 2. Generate 2048 bit DH parameters, add them to file referenced by SSLCertificateFile 3. Connect using tstclnt -d /etc/pki/nssdb/ -h localhost -p 443 -V ssl3: -o -v Actual results: tstclnt: SSL version 3.3 using 256-bit AES with 160-bit SHA1 MAC tstclnt: Server Auth: 2048-bit RSA, Key Exchange: 1024-bit DHE Compression: NULL Expected results: tstclnt: SSL version 3.3 using 256-bit AES with 160-bit SHA1 MAC tstclnt: Server Auth: 2048-bit RSA, Key Exchange: 2048-bit DHE Compression: NULL (note Key Exchange in second line) Additional info: http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-131A/sp800-131A.pdf Httpd should automatically select DH parameters that are at least as long as the RSA keys (see SP 800-131A and SP 800-57 Part 1).
