Description

Starting a ssllabs.com test to one of my virtual servers does work, i.e. I get the expected results from the test page, however the server thread core dumps twice during the testing process. This is reproducible.

I’m running nginx 1.9.7 with LibreSSL 2.2.4. Both are compiled from sources using Gentoo’s build system. For debugging purposes, nginx is compiled using the debug USE flag and with CFLAGS appended "-ggdb -O0" as well as nostrip FEATURES.

Both core’s created throughout the test indicate the same problem. Looking at line 857 in src/http/ngx_http_request.c it seems that hc->addr->conf->virtual_names is set wrongly.

The respective virtual host is running a rather secure setup (TLS 1.2 and high-quality ciphers only) and has http2 enabled but in other terms it’s standard.

I replaced all sensitive data with mysomething markers.

the important stuff from the config:

listen myipv4:443 ssl http2;
listen [myipv6]:443 ssl http2;
server_name mydomain;

ssl on;
server_tokens off;

ssl_protocols TLSv1.2;
ssl_ciphers 'ECDHE+CHACHA20:ECDHE+AESGCM';

ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/nginx/mydomain/ssl.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/nginx/mydomain/ssl.key;
ssl_ecdh_curve secp384r1;
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubdomains; preload;";
ssl_buffer_size 1400;
ssl_session_tickets on;
ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;
ssl_session_timeout 10m;
ssl_stapling on;
ssl_stapling_verify on;
ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/ssl/nginx/mydomain/full-chain.pem;
resolver mydns valid=300s;
resolver_timeout 15s;

Whoa, that was fast!

Great, with your patch the worker process doesn’t SIGSEV anymore when performing an ssllabs.com server test. No sign of trouble in error_log or system journal.

Please, close ticket (and apply patch to next release).

In 6320:a6902a941279/nginx:

SSL: fixed possible segfault on renegotiation (ticket #845).

Skip SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback in case of renegotiation.
Do nothing in SNI callback as in this case it will be supplied with
request in c->data which isn't expected and doesn't work this way.

This was broken by b40af2fd1c16 (1.9.6) with OpenSSL master branch and LibreSSL.
