Release Note

Doc Text:

The *Net:SSLeay* Perl module now supports restricting of TLS version The *Net:SSLeay* Perl module has been updated to support explicit specification of the TLS protocol version, which can be used for improving security. To restrict TLS version to 1.1 or 1.2, set the `Net::SSLeay::ssl_version` variable to `11` or `12`, respectively.

Description Brian Hinz 2016-04-08 18:16:35 UTC

Description of problem:

perl-Net-SSLeay v1.35 that ships as a part of RHEL 6 does not support explicitly specifying protocol versions TLSv1.1 or TLSv1.2 via the SSL_version parameter.  However, the following two upstream patches would be trivial to backport and would enable this functionality:

https://github.com/toddr/Net-SSLeay/commit/1625fca43588ad4648db13a27e19f82361abe3fc
https://github.com/toddr/Net-SSLeay/commit/3cb6863f124e55611b2094d230081eb3cee089cd

Note that it's possible to get a TLSv1.2 context with the current version (by specifying TLSv1.*, which causes the case statement in the constructor to fall through and return a default context, which just happens to be TLSv1.2).  It's not possible to get a TLSv1.1, or even enforce that the context is using TLSv1.2.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

1.31-9.el6

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:

N/A - functionality isn't there.

Expected results:


Additional info:

IO::Socket::SSL should also be patched to take advantage of this change. Although there isn't a direct upstream patch that would apply cleanly, it also a simple change.  If this request gets a favorable response, I'll file a follow-up enhancement request for perl-IO-Socket-SSL and attach a patch.

Proposed patches (additional patch against IO::Socket::SSL)

This patch would be applied to perl-IO-Socket-SSL, just adding it here for reference.  Will continue to work 1325407 through Red Hat support and based on that outcome, will open a second ticket for perl-IO-Socket-SSL.

Comment 15 Petr Pisar 2016-04-25 13:55:46 UTC

How to test:

(1) Start a TLS server that does not support TLS 1.2, e.g.:
$ openssl s_server -tls1 -key key -cert cert -www
(2) Run a Net::SSLey Perl program that enforces TLS 1.2 by setting $Net::SSLeay::ssl_version=12, e.g.:
perl -MNet::SSLeay -e '$Net::SSLeay::ssl_version=12; my ($response, $error) = Net::SSLeay::sslcat(q{localhost}, 4433, q{GET /}); if ($error) { die $error }; print $response'

Before: The connection succeeds because OpenSSL in the client will fall back to TLS 1.0. With the s_server command, the client will print report this server's response:

New, TLSv1/SSLv3, Cipher is ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
SSL-Session:
    Protocol  : TLSv1

After: The connection fails, the client reports this error:

SSL_connect 10092: 1 - error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number

(3) Repeat the test for TLS 1.1 by setting $Net::SSLeay::ssl_version=11.
