The options are coded as bitmasks and can be combined by a logical \fBor\fR operation (|). .PP \&\fBSSL_CTX_set_options()\fR and \fBSSL_set_options()\fR affect the (external) protocol behaviour of the \s-1SSL\s0 library. The (internal) behaviour of the \s-1API\s0 can be changed by using the similar \&\fBSSL_CTX_set_mode\fR\|(3) and \fBSSL_set_mode()\fR functions. .PP During a handshake, the option settings of the \s-1SSL\s0 object are used. When a new \s-1SSL\s0 object is created from a context using \fBSSL_new()\fR, the current option setting is copied. Changes to \fBctx\fR do not affect already created \&\s-1SSL\s0 objects. \fBSSL_clear()\fR does not affect the settings. .PP The following \fBbug workaround\fR options are available: .IP "\s-1SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG\s0" 4 .IX Item "SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG" www.microsoft.com \- when talking SSLv2, if session-id reuse is performed, the session-id passed back in the server-finished message is different from the one decided upon. .IP "\s-1SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_CHALLENGE_BUG\s0" 4 .IX Item "SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_CHALLENGE_BUG" Netscape\-Commerce/1.12, when talking SSLv2, accepts a 32 byte challenge but then appears to only use 16 bytes when generating the encryption keys. Using 16 bytes is ok but it should be ok to use 32. According to the SSLv3 spec, one should use 32 bytes for the challenge when operating in SSLv2/v3 compatibility mode, but as mentioned above, this breaks this server so 16 bytes is the way to go. .IP "\s-1SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG\s0" 4 .IX Item "SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG" As of OpenSSL 0.9.8q and 1.0.0c, this option has no effect. .IP "\s-1SSL_OP_SSLREF2_REUSE_CERT_TYPE_BUG\s0" 4 .IX Item "SSL_OP_SSLREF2_REUSE_CERT_TYPE_BUG" \&... .IP "\s-1SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_BIG_SSLV3_BUFFER\s0" 4 .IX Item "SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_BIG_SSLV3_BUFFER" \&... .IP "\s-1SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG\s0" 4 .IX Item "SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG" Don't prefer ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be Safari on \s-1OS X.

This option has no effect for connections using other ciphers. .IP "\s-1SSL_OP_TLSEXT_PADDING\s0" 4 .IX Item "SSL_OP_TLSEXT_PADDING" Adds a padding extension to ensure the ClientHello size is never between 256 and 511 bytes in length. This is needed as a workaround for some implementations. .IP "\s-1SSL_OP_ALL\s0" 4 .IX Item "SSL_OP_ALL" All of the above bug workarounds. .PP It is usually safe to use \fB\s-1SSL_OP_ALL\s0\fR to enable the bug workaround options if compatibility with somewhat broken implementations is desired. .PP The following \fBmodifying\fR options are available: .IP "\s-1SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG\s0" 4 .IX Item "SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG" Disable version rollback attack detection. .Sp During the client key exchange, the client must send the same information about acceptable \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 protocol levels as during the first hello. Some clients violate this rule by adapting to the server's answer. (Example: the client sends a SSLv2 hello and accepts up to SSLv3.1=TLSv1, the server only understands up to SSLv3. In this case the client must still use the same SSLv3.1=TLSv1 announcement. Some clients step down to SSLv3 with respect to the server's answer and violate the version rollback protection.) .IP "\s-1SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE\s0" 4 .IX Item "SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE" Always create a new key when using temporary/ephemeral \s-1DH\s0 parameters (see \fBSSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh_callback\fR\|(3)). This option must be used to prevent small subgroup attacks, when the \s-1DH\s0 parameters were not generated using \*(L"strong\*(R" primes (e.g. when using DSA-parameters, see \fBdhparam\fR\|(1)). If \*(L"strong\*(R" primes were used, it is not strictly necessary to generate a new \s-1DH\s0 key during each handshake but it is also recommended. \&\fB\s-1SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE\s0\fR should therefore be enabled whenever temporary/ephemeral \s-1DH\s0 parameters are used. .IP "\s-1SSL_OP_EPHEMERAL_RSA\s0" 4 .IX Item "SSL_OP_EPHEMERAL_RSA" This option is no longer implemented and is treated as no op. .IP "\s-1SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE\s0" 4 .IX Item "SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE" When choosing a cipher, use the server's preferences instead of the client preferences. When not set, the \s-1SSL\s0 server will always follow the clients preferences. When set, the SSLv3/TLSv1 server will choose following its own preferences. Because of the different protocol, for SSLv2 the server will send its list of preferences to the client and the client chooses. .IP "\s-1SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK_1\s0" 4 .IX Item "SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK_1" \&... .IP "\s-1SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK_2\s0" 4 .IX Item "SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK_2" \&... .IP "\s-1SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_CA_DN_BUG\s0" 4 .IX Item "SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_CA_DN_BUG" If we accept a netscape connection, demand a client cert, have a non-self-signed \s-1CA\s0 which does not have its \s-1CA\s0 in netscape, and the browser has a cert, it will crash/hang.

See the \&\fB\s-1SECURE RENEGOTIATION\s0\fR section for more details. .SH "SECURE RENEGOTIATION" .IX Header "SECURE RENEGOTIATION" OpenSSL 0.9.8m and later always attempts to use secure renegotiation as described in \s-1RFC5746.\s0 This counters the prefix attack described in \&\s-1CVE\-2009\-3555\s0 and elsewhere. .PP The deprecated and highly broken SSLv2 protocol does not support renegotiation at all: its use is \fBstrongly\fR discouraged. .PP This attack has far reaching consequences which application writers should be aware of. In the description below an implementation supporting secure renegotiation is referred to as \fIpatched\fR. A server not supporting secure renegotiation is referred to as \fIunpatched\fR. .PP The following sections describe the operations permitted by OpenSSL's secure renegotiation implementation. .SS "Patched client and server" .IX Subsection "Patched client and server" Connections and renegotiation are always permitted by OpenSSL implementations. .SS "Unpatched client and patched OpenSSL server" .IX Subsection "Unpatched client and patched OpenSSL server" The initial connection succeeds but client renegotiation is denied by the server with a \fBno_renegotiation\fR warning alert if \s-1TLS\s0 v1.0 is used or a fatal \&\fBhandshake_failure\fR alert in \s-1SSL\s0 v3.0. .PP If the patched OpenSSL server attempts to renegotiate a fatal \&\fBhandshake_failure\fR alert is sent. This is because the server code may be unaware of the unpatched nature of the client. .PP If the option \fB\s-1SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION\s0\fR is set then renegotiation \fBalways\fR succeeds. .PP \&\fB\s-1NB:\s0\fR a bug in OpenSSL clients earlier than 0.9.8m (all of which are unpatched) will result in the connection hanging if it receives a \&\fBno_renegotiation\fR alert. OpenSSL versions 0.9.8m and later will regard a \fBno_renegotiation\fR alert as fatal and respond with a fatal \&\fBhandshake_failure\fR alert. This is because the OpenSSL \s-1API\s0 currently has no provision to indicate to an application that a renegotiation attempt was refused. .SS "Patched OpenSSL client and unpatched server." .IX Subsection "Patched OpenSSL client and unpatched server." If the option \fB\s-1SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\s0\fR or \&\fB\s-1SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION\s0\fR is set then initial connections and renegotiation between patched OpenSSL clients and unpatched servers succeeds. If neither option is set then initial connections to unpatched servers will fail. .PP The option \fB\s-1SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\s0\fR is currently set by default even though it has security implications: otherwise it would be impossible to connect to unpatched servers (i.e. all of them initially) and this is clearly not acceptable. Renegotiation is permitted because this does not add any additional security issues: during an attack clients do not see any renegotiations anyway. .PP As more servers become patched the option \fB\s-1SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\s0\fR will \&\fBnot\fR be set by default in a future version of OpenSSL. .PP OpenSSL client applications wishing to ensure they can connect to unpatched servers should always \fBset\fR \fB\s-1SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\s0\fR .PP OpenSSL client applications that want to ensure they can \fBnot\fR connect to unpatched servers (and thus avoid any security issues) should always \fBclear\fR \&\fB\s-1SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\s0\fR using \fBSSL_CTX_clear_options()\fR or \&\fBSSL_clear_options()\fR. .PP The difference between the \fB\s-1SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\s0\fR and \&\fB\s-1SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION\s0\fR options is that \&\fB\s-1SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\s0\fR enables initial connections and secure renegotiation between OpenSSL clients and unpatched servers \fBonly\fR, while \&\fB\s-1SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION\s0\fR allows initial connections and renegotiation between OpenSSL and unpatched clients or servers. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" \&\fBSSL_CTX_set_options()\fR and \fBSSL_set_options()\fR return the new options bitmask after adding \fBoptions\fR. .PP \&\fBSSL_CTX_clear_options()\fR and \fBSSL_clear_options()\fR return the new options bitmask after clearing \fBoptions\fR. .PP \&\fBSSL_CTX_get_options()\fR and \fBSSL_get_options()\fR return the current bitmask. .PP \&\fBSSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support()\fR returns 1 is the peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 if it does not. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fBssl\fR\|(3), \fBSSL_new\fR\|(3), \fBSSL_clear\fR\|(3), \&\fBSSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh_callback\fR\|(3), \&\fBSSL_CTX_set_tmp_rsa_callback\fR\|(3), \&\fBdhparam\fR\|(1) .SH "HISTORY" .IX Header "HISTORY" \&\fB\s-1SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE\s0\fR and \&\fB\s-1SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION\s0\fR have been added in OpenSSL 0.9.7. .PP \&\fB\s-1SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG\s0\fR has been added in OpenSSL 0.9.6 and was automatically enabled with \fB\s-1SSL_OP_ALL\s0\fR.
