While we support initializing records via coercion from an expression
list, e.g.,
local x: X = [$x1=1, $x2=2];
this can sometimes obscure the code to readers, e.g., when assigning to
value declared and typed elsewhere. The language runtime has a similar
overhead since instead of just constructing a known type it needs to
check at runtime that the coercion from the expression list is valid;
this can be slower than just writing the readible code in the first
place, see #4559.
With this patch we use explicit construction, e.g.,
local x = X($x1=1, $x2=2);
This PR changes the way in which the SSL analyzer tracks the direction
of connections. So far, the SSL analyzer assumed that the originator of
a connection would send the client hello (and other associated
client-side events), and that the responder would be the SSL servers.
In some circumstances this is not true, and the initiator of a
connection is the server, with the responder being the client. So far
this confused some of the internal statekeeping logic and could lead to
mis-parsing of extensions.
This reversal of roles can happen in DTLS, if a connection uses STUN -
and potentially in some StartTLS protocols.
This PR tracks the direction of a TLS connection using the hello
request, client hello and server hello handshake messages. Furthermore,
it changes the SSL events from providing is_orig to providing is_client,
where is_client is true for the client_side of a connection. Since the
argument positioning in the event has not changed, old scripts will
continue to work seamlessly - the new semantics are what everyone
writing SSL scripts will have expected in any case.
There is a new event that is raised when a connection is flipped. A
weird is raised if a flip happens repeatedly.
Addresses GH-2198.
This commit adds two new bifs, x509_check_hostname and
x509_check_cert_hostname. These bifs can be used to check if a given
hostname which can, e.g., be sent in a SNI is valid for a specific
certificate.
This PR furthermore modifies the ssl logs again, and adds information
about this to the log-file. Furthermore we now by default remove the
server certificate information from ssl.log - I doubt that this is often
looked at, it is not present in TLS 1.3, we do still have the SNI, and
if you need it you have the information in x509.log.
This also fixes a small potential problem in X509.cc assuming there
might be SAN-entries that contain null-bytes.
Baseline update will follow in another commit.
This commit changes the SSL and X.509 logging formats to something that,
hopefully, slowly approaches what they will look like in the future.
X.509 log is not yet deduplicated; this will come in the future.
This commit introduces two new options, which determine if certificate
issuers and subjects are still logged in ssl.log. The default is to have
the host subject/issuer logged, but to remove client-certificate
information. Client-certificates are not a typically used feature
nowadays.
