This commit adds a test to ssl-opt.sh which exercises the behavior
of the library in the situation where a single proper fragment
of a future handshake message is received prior to the next
expected handshake message (concretely, the client receives
the first fragment of the server's Certificate message prior
to the server's ServerHello).
This commit adds two builds to all.sh which use a value of
MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_MAX_BUFFERING that allows to run the
reordering tests in ssl-opt.sh introduced in the last commit.
This commit adds tests to ssl-opt.sh which trigger code-paths
responsible for freeing future buffered messages when the buffering
limitations set by MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_MAX_BUFFERING don't allow the
next expected message to be reassembled.
These tests only work for very specific ranges of
MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_MAX_BUFFERING and will therefore be skipped
on a run of ssl-opt.sh in ordinary configurations.
This commit adds functions requires_config_value_at_most()
and requires_config_value_at_least() which can be used to
only run tests when a numerical value from config.h
(e.g. MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN) is within a certain range.
The negotiated MFL is always the one suggested by the client, even
if the server has a smaller MFL configured locally. Hence, in the test
where the client asks for an MFL of 4096 bytes while the server locally
has an MFL of 512 bytes configured, the client will still send datagrams
of up to ~4K size.
Depending on the settings of the local machine, gnutls-cli will either try
IPv4 or IPv6 when trying to connect to localhost. With TLS, whatever it tries
first, it will notice if any failure happens and try the other protocol if
necessary. With DTLS it can't do that. Unfortunately for now there isn't
really any good way to specify an address and hostname independently, though
that might come soon: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/issues/344
A work around is to specify an address directly and then use --insecure to
ignore certificate hostname mismatch; that is OK for tests that are completely
unrelated to certificate verification (such as the recent fragmenting tests)
but unacceptable for others.
For that reason, don't specify a default hostname for gnutls-cli, but instead
let each test choose between `--insecure 127.0.0.1` and `localhost` (or
`--insecure '::1'` if desired).
Alternatives include:
- having test certificates with 127.0.0.1 as the hostname, but having an IP as
the CN is unusual, and we would need to change our test certs;
- have our server open two sockets under the hood and listen on both IPv4 and
IPv6 (that's what gnutls-serv does, and IMO it's a good thing) but that
obviously requires development and testing (esp. for windows compatibility)
- wait for a newer version of GnuTLS to be released, install it on the CI and
developer machines, and use that in all tests - quite satisfying but can't
be done now (and puts stronger requirements on test environment).
From Hanno:
When a server replies to a cookieless ClientHello with a HelloVerifyRequest,
it is supposed to reset the connection and wait for a subsequent ClientHello
which includes the cookie from the HelloVerifyRequest.
In testing environments, it might happen that the reset of the server
takes longer than for the client to replying to the HelloVerifyRequest
with the ClientHello+Cookie. In this case, the ClientHello gets lost
and the client will need retransmit. This may happen even if the underlying
datagram transport is reliable.
This commit continues commit 47db877 by removing resend guards in the
ssl-opt.sh tests 'DTLS fragmenting: proxy MTU, XXX' which sometimes made
the tests fail in case the log showed a resend from the client.
See 47db877 for more information.
