UPDATED PATCH:
Attached are a revised set of SSL patches. Many of these patchesare motivated by security concerns, it's not just bug fixes. The keydifferences (from stock 7.2.1) are:*) almost all code that directly uses the OpenSSL library is in two new files, src/interfaces/libpq/fe-ssl.c src/backend/postmaster/be-ssl.c in the long run, it would be nice to merge these two files.*) the legacy code to read and write network data have been encapsulated into read_SSL() and write_SSL(). These functions should probably be renamed - they handle both SSL and non-SSL cases. the remaining code should eliminate the problems identified earlier, albeit not very cleanly.*) both front- and back-ends will send a SSL shutdown via the new close_SSL() function. This is necessary for sessions to work properly. (Sessions are not yet fully supported, but by cleanly closing the SSL connection instead of just sending a TCP FIN packet other SSL tools will be much happier.)*) The client certificate and key are now expected in a subdirectory of the user's home directory. Specifically,- the directory .postgresql must be owned by the user, and allow no access by 'group' or 'other.'- the file .postgresql/postgresql.crt must be a regular file owned by the user.- the file .postgresql/postgresql.key must be a regular file owned by the user, and allow no access by 'group' or 'other'. At the current time encrypted private keys are not supported. There should also be a way to support multiple client certs/keys.*) the front-end performs minimal validation of the back-end cert. Self-signed certs are permitted, but the common name *must* match the hostname used by the front-end. (The cert itself should always use a fully qualified domain name (FDQN) in its common name field.) This means that psql -h eris db will fail, but psql -h eris.example.com db will succeed. At the current time this must be an exact match; future patches may support any FQDN that resolves to the address returned by getpeername(2). Another common "problem" is expiring certs. For now, it may be a good idea to use a very-long-lived self-signed cert. As a compile-time option, the front-end can specify a file containing valid root certificates, but it is not yet required.*) the back-end performs minimal validation of the client cert. It allows self-signed certs. It checks for expiration. It supports a compile-time option specifying a file containing valid root certificates.*) both front- and back-ends default to TLSv1, not SSLv3/SSLv2.*) both front- and back-ends support DSA keys. DSA keys are moderately more expensive on startup, but many people consider them preferable than RSA keys. (E.g., SSH2 prefers DSA keys.)*) if /dev/urandom exists, both client and server will read 16k of randomization data from it.*) the server can read empheral DH parameters from the files $DataDir/dh512.pem $DataDir/dh1024.pem $DataDir/dh2048.pem $DataDir/dh4096.pem if none are provided, the server will default to hardcoded parameter files provided by the OpenSSL project.Remaining tasks:*) the select() clauses need to be revisited - the SSL abstraction layer may need to absorb more of the current code to avoid rare deadlock conditions. This also touches on a true solution to the pg_eof() problem.*) the SIGPIPE signal handler may need to be revisited.*) support encrypted private keys.*) sessions are not yet fully supported. (SSL sessions can span multiple "connections," and allow the client and server to avoid costly renegotiations.)*) makecert - a script that creates back-end certs.*) pgkeygen - a tool that creates front-end certs.*) the whole protocol issue, SASL, etc. *) certs are fully validated - valid root certs must be available. This is a hassle, but it means that you *can* trust the identity of the server. *) the client library can handle hardcoded root certificates, to avoid the need to copy these files. *) host name of server cert must resolve to IP address, or be a recognized alias. This is more liberal than the previous iteration. *) the number of bytes transferred is tracked, and the session key is periodically renegotiated. *) basic cert generation scripts (mkcert.sh, pgkeygen.sh). The configuration files have reasonable defaults for each type of use.Bear Giles1 parenteb43af3 commit1957042
