From 4fc9ba5f27dd4c04441d38c893ee962da01baf80 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Jaša Date: Wed, 27 Nov 2013 17:45:49 +0100 Subject: Use TLS version 1.0 or better When creating a TLS socket, both spice-server and spice-gtk currently call SSL_CTX_new(TLSv1_method()). The TLSv1_method() function set the protocol version to TLS 1.0 exclusively. The correct way to support multiple protocol versions is to call SSLv23_method() in spite of its scary name. This method will enable all SSL/TLS protocol versions. The protocol suite may be further narrowed down by setting respective SSL_OP_NO_ options of SSL context. This possibility is used in this patch in order to block use of SSLv3 that is enabled by default in openssl for client sockets as of now but spice has never used it. --- server/reds.c | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'server/reds.c') diff --git a/server/reds.c b/server/reds.c index 2a0002b0..d79732c6 100644 --- a/server/reds.c +++ b/server/reds.c @@ -3221,6 +3221,8 @@ static int reds_init_ssl(void) SSL_METHOD *ssl_method; #endif int return_code; + /* When some other SSL/TLS version becomes obsolete, add it to this + * variable. */ long ssl_options = SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 | SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3; /* Global system initialization*/ @@ -3228,7 +3230,8 @@ static int reds_init_ssl(void) SSL_load_error_strings(); /* Create our context*/ - ssl_method = TLSv1_method(); + /* SSLv23_method() handles TLSv1.x in addition to SSLv2/v3 */ + ssl_method = SSLv23_method(); reds->ctx = SSL_CTX_new(ssl_method); if (!reds->ctx) { spice_warning("Could not allocate new SSL context"); -- cgit
