Since a2a513b93c, stream frames no longer need to be retransmitted after it
was deleted. The frames which were retransmitted before, could be stream data
frames sent prior to a RESET_STREAM. Such retransmissions are explicitly
prohibited by RFC 9000, Section 19.4.
EVP_KEY objects are a reference-counted container for key material, shallow
copies and OpenSSL stack management aren't needed as with certificates.
Based on previous work by Mini Hawthorne.
Certificate chains are now loaded once.
The certificate cache provides each chain as a unique stack of reference
counted elements. This shallow copy is required because OpenSSL stacks
aren't reference counted.
Based on previous work by Mini Hawthorne.
Added ngx_openssl_cache_module, which indexes a type-aware object cache.
It maps an id to a unique instance, and provides references to it, which
are dropped when the cycle's pool is destroyed.
The cache will be used in subsequent patches.
Based on previous work by Mini Hawthorne.
Instead of cross-linking the objects using exdata, pointers to configured
certificates are now stored in ngx_ssl_t, and OCSP staples are now accessed
with rbtree in it. This allows sharing these objects between SSL contexts.
Based on previous work by Mini Hawthorne.
Starting from TLSv1.1 (as seen since draft-ietf-tls-rfc2246-bis-00),
the "certificate_authorities" field grammar of the CertificateRequest
message was redone to allow no distinguished names. In TLSv1.3, with
the restructured CertificateRequest message, this can be similarly
done by optionally including the "certificate_authorities" extension.
This allows to avoid sending DNs at all.
In practice, aside from published TLS specifications, all supported
SSL/TLS libraries allow to request client certificates with an empty
DN list for any protocol version. For instance, when operating in
TLSv1, this results in sending the "certificate_authorities" list as
a zero-length vector, which corresponds to the TLSv1.1 specification.
Such behaviour goes back to SSLeay.
The change relaxes the requirement to specify at least one trusted CA
certificate in the ssl_client_certificate directive, which resulted in
sending DNs of these certificates (closes#142). Instead, all trusted
CA certificates can be specified now using the ssl_trusted_certificate
directive if needed. A notable difference that certificates specified
in ssl_trusted_certificate are always loaded remains (see 3648ba7db).

Pushes to master and stable branches will result in buildbot-like checks
on multiple OSes and architectures.
Pull requests will be checked on a public Ubuntu GitHub runner.
Unordered chunks could result in trak->end_chunk smaller than trak->start_chunk
in ngx_http_mp4_crop_stsc_data(). Later in ngx_http_mp4_update_stco_atom()
this caused buffer overread while trying to calculate trak->end_offset.
While cropping an stsc atom in ngx_http_mp4_crop_stsc_data(), a 32-bit integer
overflow could happen, which could result in incorrect seeking and a very large
value stored in "samples". This resulted in a large invalid value of
trak->end_chunk_samples. This value is further used to calculate the value of
trak->end_chunk_samples_size in ngx_http_mp4_update_stsz_atom(). While doing
this, a large invalid value of trak->end_chunk_samples could result in reading
memory before stsz atom start. This could potentially result in a segfault.
In some rare cases, graceful shutdown may happen while initializing an HTTP/2
connection. Previously, such a connection ignored the shutdown and remained
active. Now it is gracefully closed prior to processing any streams to
eliminate the shutdown delay.
Previously handlers were mandatory. However they are not always needed.
For example, a server configured with ssl_reject_handshake does not need a
handler. Such servers required a fake handler to pass the check. Now handler
absence check is moved to runtime. If handler is missing, the connection is
closed with 500 code.
Previously the last chain field of ngx_quic_buffer_t could still reference freed
chains and buffers after calling ngx_quic_free_buffer(). While normally an
ngx_quic_buffer_t object should not be used after freeing, resetting last_chain
field would prevent a potential use-after-free.
Sending handshake-level CRYPTO frames after the client's Finished message could
lead to memory disclosure and a potential segfault, if those frames are sent in
one packet with the Finished frame.
While inserting a new entry into the dynamic table, first the entry is added,
and then older entries are evicted until table size is within capacity. After
the first step, the number of entries may temporarily exceed the maximum
calculated from capacity by one entry, which previously caused table overflow.
The easiest way to trigger the issue is to keep adding entries with empty names
and values until first eviction.
The issue was introduced by 987bee4363d1.
Previously a decoder stream was created on demand for sending Section
Acknowledgement, Stream Cancellation and Insert Count Increment. If conditions
for sending any of these instructions never happen, a decoder stream is not
created at all. These conditions include client not using the dynamic table and
no streams abandoned by server (RFC 9204, Section 2.2.2.2). However RFC 9204,
Section 4.2 defines only one condition for not creating a decoder stream:
An endpoint MAY avoid creating a decoder stream if its decoder sets
the maximum capacity of the dynamic table to zero.
The change enables pre-creation of the decoder stream at HTTP/3 session
initialization if maximum dynamic table capacity is not zero. Note that this
value is currently hardcoded to 4096 bytes and is not configurable, so the
stream is now always created.
Also, the change fixes a potential stack overflow when creating a decoder
stream in ngx_http_v3_send_cancel_stream() while draining a request stream by
ngx_drain_connections(). Creating a decoder stream involves calling
ngx_get_connection(), which calls ngx_drain_connections(), which will drain the
same request stream again. If client's MAX_STREAMS for uni stream is high
enough, these recursive calls will continue until we run out of stack.
Otherwise, decoder stream creation will fail at some point and the request
stream connection will be drained. This may result in use-after-free, since
this connection could still be referenced up the stack.
Previously chain links could sometimes be dropped instead of being reused,
which could result in increased memory consumption during long requests.
A similar chain link issue in ngx_http_gzip_filter_module was fixed in
da46bfc484ef (1.11.10).
