Re: Runs on local...but can't see it anywhere else

2002-05-17 Thread Peter Viertel

You say you can connect to the 'actual server address' while on the
actual machine but not from across the network.

You do not say which operating system you're using - but if it's redhat
linux for example, perhaps you've got iptables rules. Otherwise  is
network routing ok, like does the machien have it's default route set
correctly?

RE: Runs on local...but can't see it anywhere else

2002-05-17 Thread John . Airey

A small correction, RedHat Linux is still using ipchains. 

ipchains -L

>From the command line as root will show if you have any ipchains rules.

The simplest way to fix is to type "setup", go into firewall configuration
and make the interface "trusted". It does neuter ipchains somewhat though.

[BugDB] ssl_rand_seed needs to open in binary mode (PR#705)

2002-05-17 Thread modssl-bugdb

Full_Name: EKR
Version: 2.8.8-1.3.24
OS: NT 4.0
Submission from: (NULL) (198.144.203.242)


ssl_engine_rand.c:ssl_rand_seed() fopens the random file in text mode. On Unix
this is fine but on Windows this means that it will stop as soon as it sees an
EOD in the file. Since the random file is often random binary data, this means
that with high probability the entire file will not be read. This can lead to
insufficient amounts of entropy being delivered to OpenSSL. The fix is to
change:

if ((fp = ap_pfopen(p, pRandSeed->cpPath, "r")) == NULL)
continue;

to:

if ((fp = ap_pfopen(p, pRandSeed->cpPath, "rb")) == NULL)
continue;

RE: handshake problem with IE

2002-05-17 Thread b . courtin

Hi Heribert,

are you sure these errors are caused by access/commmunication with the Microsoft 
Internet Explorer 6.0.2600.000? Do they only occour when the webserver is accessed by 
a browser (i.e. MS IE6) or on a regulary basis: are you sure your web-servers are not 
behind any kind of load balancer which is sending "pings" or "keepalive" requests to 
your webserver? 

Kind regards,
B. Courtin

IE 5.00 - 5.01 SSL Connection Failures

2002-05-17 Thread Louis Sabet

Hi List,

I work for a mobile phone retail company in the UK - www.mobiles.co.uk

Recently we discovered that several of our customers were unable to
complete the secure portions of their orders. The only common factor
with all these problems were that all customers were using IE 5.00 to IE
5.01.

Under Internet Explorer they receive "Page Connot Be Found". With
Netscape all works fine, and with all other recent Internet Explorer
versions, a successful connection can be made.

I found nothing useful on the Microsoft site other than this:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q244302

It may be the root of the problem, but we cannot ask the 33% of our
customers who use IE5 to patch their machines before accessing our site.

It is obvious that MOST connections to https sites can be made from IE5,
or it would have been better documented.

I contacted Verisign to find out if there was a reason some certificates
were useable with IE5, and others weren't, but I found their technical
support to be quite useless.

My last option is to ask you guys whether this could be a configuration
issue - or whether there is some configuration tweak I can make to get
around this problem for our IE5 users.

Best regards,

Louis

RE: IE 5.00 - 5.01 SSL Connection Failures

2002-05-17 Thread Jeff


MS IE 5.00 was a flawed release, that MS very quickly (4 weeks) replaced
with 5.01, mainly for security reasons. You should be able to get any
reasonable users (corporate or otherwise) to upgrade asap. MSIE 5.00 has
some serious bugs when using SSL and cacheing, so you may be able to
tweak all your users caching settings, and also to look at making your
pages non-cacheable. I have to say though that in our experience with a
group of 10 users of 5.00 it was far easier to get them to switch to
Netscape until their 5.01 (in fact they went for 5.5) to arrive.

The more SSL connections that are used, the more likely that failures
will occur - in downloading stylesheets, javascript, images etc, leading
to odd bugs and ugly pages.


The problems you describe with 5.01, I have seen when SSL keepalive
settings were enabled on the web-server. The SSLKeepAlive settings were
invented to speed up a clients access to your site, so that as
subsequent requests for images, css, etc etc were made, the SSL
negotiation overhead was short-circuited. Unfortunately the MS 5.xx
browsers never quite got it right. We use Apache, and this is the
setting in httpd.conf
  SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

You can check your SSL logs to see if the keepalive settings are active
- it they are you will see an incrementing number associated with each
request from the same user that indicates the SSL negotiation was
short-cut, and that previously negotiated keys are being used.

'nokeepalive' is fractionally slower, but at least your users will not
get the regular 'page cannot be found' issue.

As to sharing Client Certs between IE and NS - we do this happily for NS
4.0-4.75 and MSIE 5.01-6.0 without any issues.


Regards
Jeff

RE: IE 5.00 - 5.01 SSL Connection Failures

2002-05-17 Thread John . Airey

Just to concur with Jeff, IE5.00 is useless. At the end of June Microsoft
are dropping support for IE5.01SP2. I can't remember right now where I found
that out, and 

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=%2fdefault.aspx%3fscid%3dfh%3
ben-us%3bobsprodi 

Doesn't list IE5.01 as obsolete, although IE5.5SP2 is listed as a
replacement for other versions of IE. Of course, the obsolete list is
incomplete anyway (Office 97 is missing, as was mentioned in this weeks
Woody's Office Watch. I'm the one who got it in there).

A minimum of IE5.5SP2 is required now, although of course people will be
using older versions. As an organisation we are dependant on IE (since we
use VBScript a lot) and so we are moving up to IE5.5SP2 gradually.

Having said that, I've just posted to Bugtraq a comment that the latest
update (MS02-23, or Q321232 depending on your preferences) is refusing to
install on some Windows 2000 machines. 

Don't we just love Microsoft?

Unfortunately in this sector of retail, our target audience is very
fickle, and an abundance of similar online retailers in recent years
have made this an extremely competitive market. We cannot afford to
aggravate any customers at this point.

In addition, a large proportion of our customers have little or no
previous IT experience and cannot be expected to apply patches no matter
how trivial it may seem to us!

I checked our httpd.conf, and indeed we have the same line in all our
SSL sites. So this particular problem must lie elsewhere.

I'll agree with peoples' comments on IE5 being terrible, but
unfortunately as an online retailer we have no choice as to what our
customers access our website with, and a disturbing number of customers
(33%) happen to be using IE5.00 to 5.01.

If anyone else has any comments, they would be very much appreciated at
this point!

RE: handshake problem with IE

2002-05-17 Thread Heribert Steuer

Dear B. Courtin,

all the webservers run in local networks and dont pass any other
machines (like proxies or load balancers).
the logs show the correct IP of the clients.
when running non-ssl connections the error doesnt occur at all (same
machine, same pages, same client).
I also never discovered this problem using NS4.x
So im quite sure its a IE problem. Its known that IE is quite crappy
with https, but there must be a way to solve this.
Keepalive is turned off for the whole server. So that cannot be the
problem.
For completeness i attached the virtualhost config section of the
httpd.conf
Any other ideas ?

Regards,
Heribert Steuer

Hi Heribert,

 are you sure these errors are caused by access/commmunication
with the Microsoft
 Internet Explorer 6.0.2600.000? Do they only occour when the
webserver is accessed by
 a browser (i.e. MS IE6) or on a regulary basis: are you sure
your web-servers are not
 behind any kind of load balancer which is sending "pings" or
"keepalive" requests to
 your webserver?

 Kind regards,

RE: IE 5.00 - 5.01 SSL Connection Failures

We had some top-notch technical people spend more than three months,
setting up an isolated web/client environment to duplicate customers
configurations in order to track down, isolate and see if there was a
fix for this intermittent problem. 

We tested a vast range of both client and server configurations,
(including win9x/ME/NT clients to see if there were OS specific DLLs
causing the issues), to see if there were any combinations that might
improve the situation - as I mentioned, you can improve it by fiddling
with the client caching settings - but this is actually harder for
clients to do than upgrading IE using a free CD. It also requires that
you carefully craft your server cache directives for MSIE 5.00 clients. 

After three months of investigation, testing and email exchanges with MS
support, we concluded that there was no practical solution. We will take
our hats off for you if you can find one. We believe that MSIE 5.00/SSL
goes into the same bucket as the yeti - no-one's ever seen a real
commercial version of the beastie, and we aint gonna $pend more time
hunting it. 

The Bad Thing that will happen, is that your site will appear flaky to
your customers. If you can live with that, good and well - otherwise,
consider not using SSL for some bits [not an option for us]. 

You can also minimise the issues with some site redesign - make sure
there is only ONE thing per request - no images, external JavaScript or
external style-sheets etc, then at least the failure is total, rather
than indeterminate, and users can get away with pressing refresh. We
operate commercial sites on an ASP basis with high user expectations, so
this wasn't an option for us.

IHMO 33% of your market isn't really buying stuff reliably elsewhere
using SSL and MSIE 5.00


On the 5.01 problems I can offer more hope - we have lots of clients
happily using 5.01 with certs and SSL, through proxies and firewalls
without issues - this one is grokkable. Apart from the early SSL
keepalive, we have had no issues with 5.01.

Jeff

Re: IE 5.00 - 5.01 SSL Connection Failures

2002-05-17 Thread Peter Viertel






  Let me guess you have a  '128 bit' SGC certificate on  your
server? If you do then change your cipher  suite to not offer EXPORT56  for
example:
 
 SSLCipherSuite !EXPORT56:ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL
 
This  results in  most  people with  older clients  using 40 bit encryption,
and people who care about security and upgrade their software get 128bit
SSL3 or TLS..
 
 You should alter your logs to log the resultant SSL cipher type and length
so you can get some info on which clients give you problems - and you could
put some warning notes about the browser types on the site somewhere to cover
your butts.

MS IE 5.00 was a flawed release, that MS very quickly (4 weeks) replaced
with 5.01, mainly for security reasons. You should be able to get any
reasonable users (corporate or otherwise) to upgrade asap. MSIE 5.00 has
some serious bugs when using SSL and cacheing, so you may be able to
tweak all your users caching settings, and also to look at making your
pages non-cacheable. I have to say though that in our experience with a
group of 10 users of 5.00 it was far easier to get them to switch to
Netscape until their 5.01 (in fact they went for 5.5) to arrive.

   

  
Unfortunately in this sector of retail, our target audience is very
fickle, and an abundance of similar online retailers in recent years
have made this an extremely competitive market. We cannot afford to
aggravate any customers at this point.

In addition, a large proportion of our customers have little or no
previous IT experience and cannot be expected to apply patches no matter
how trivial it may seem to us!

***SNIP***

  

  
The problems you describe with 5.01, I have seen when SSL keepalive
settings were enabled on the web-server. The SSLKeepAlive settings were
invented to speed up a clients access to your site, so that as
subsequent requests for images, css, etc etc were made, the SSL
negotiation overhead was short-circuited. Unfortunately the MS 5.xx
browsers never quite got it right. We use Apache, and this is the
setting in httpd.conf
  SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

   

  
I checked our httpd.conf, and indeed we have the same line in all our
SSL sites. So this particular problem must lie elsewhere.

I'll agree with peoples' comments on IE5 being terrible, but
unfortunately as an online retailer we have no choice as to what our
customers access our website with, and a disturbing number of customers
(33%) happen to be using IE5.00 to 5.01.

If anyone else has any comments, they would be very much appreciated at
this point!

  

  
You can check your SSL logs to see if the keepalive settings are active
- it they are you will see an incrementing number associated with each
request from the same user that indicates the SSL negotiation was
short-cut, and that previously negotiated keys are being used.

'nokeepalive' is fractionally slower, but at least your users will not
get the regular 'page cannot be found' issue.

As to sharing Client Certs between IE and NS - we do this happily for NS
4.0-4.75 and MSIE 5.01-6.0 without any issues.

Jeff

Subject: IE 5.00 - 5.01 SSL Connection Failures


Hi List,

I work for a mobile phone retail company in the UK - www.mobiles.co.uk

Recently we discovered that several of our customers were unable to
complete the secure portions of their orders. The only common factor
with all these problems were that all customers were using IE 5.00 to IE
5.01.

Under Internet Explorer they receive "Page Connot Be Found". With
Netscape all works fine, and with all other recent Internet Explorer
versions, a successful connection can be made.

I found nothing useful on the Microsoft site other than this:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q244302

It may be the root of the problem, but we cannot ask the 33% of our
customers who use IE5 to patch their machines before accessing our site.

It is obvious that MOST connections to https sites can be made from IE5,
or it would have been better documented.

I contacted Verisign to find out if there was a reason some certificates
were useable with IE5, and others weren't, but I found their technical
support to be quite useless.

My last option is to ask you guys whether this could be a configuration
issue - or whether there is some configuration tweak I can make to get
around this problem for our IE5 users.

Best regards,

Louis

Yes.  With Apache 1.3 / mod_ssl 2.8.x, you _might_ have to enable
SSL_EXPERIMENTAL or something like that, I'm not sure.  But it can be

You probably need to add port 443 into your ipchains file

eg /etc/sysconfig/ipchains

add

Or you may have some configuration program that will do this for you I do ipchians

I was able to access your site using SSL from
iparho.stat.purdue.edu in Netscape 4.76 on Unix AIX
just now with no problems.

Bug in semaphore permission

2002-05-17 Thread Eider Silva de Oliveira
Title: Bug in semaphore permission





Hi folks,


   I've been a probleme with Apache 2.0.36 + mod_ssl 2.8.8, and I think this can be a bug.


   In proc_mutex.c line 219, function proc_mutex_sysv_create:


  new_mutex->interproc->filedes = semget(IPC_PRIVATE, 1, IPC_CREAT | 0600);


   This code is executed as root, during the module init stage, but the semaphore will be used as a common user (nobody), and there is no change of its ownership.

   I'm trying to fix this, but I don't know how to get the config user id in the module to call semctl:


    if (!geteuid()) {
    buf.sem_perm.uid = unixd_config.user_id;
    buf.sem_perm.gid = unixd_config.group_id;
    buf.sem_perm.mode = 0600;
    ick.buf = &buf;
    if (semctl(new_mutex->interproc->filedes, 0, IPC_SET, ick) < 0) {
            rv = errno;
            proc_mutex_sysv_cleanup(new_mutex);
            return rv;
    }
    }


    Does anyone have a clue?
