OpenSSL-3.0.1

[Bruce Dubbs]

New major version

OpenSSL 3.0

### Major changes between OpenSSL 1.1.1 and OpenSSL 3.0.0 [7 sep 2021]

• Enhanced 'openssl list' with many new options.
• Added migration guide to man7.
• Implemented support for fully "pluggable" TLSv1.3 groups.
• Added suport for Kernel TLS (KTLS).
• Changed the license to the Apache License v2.0.
• Moved all variations of the EVP ciphers CAST5, BF, IDEA, SEED, RC2, RC4, RC5, and DES to the legacy provider.
• Moved the EVP digests MD2, MD4, MDC2, WHIRLPOOL and RIPEMD-160 to the legacy provider.
• Added convenience functions for generating asymmetric key pairs.
• Deprecated the OCSP_REQ_CTX type and functions.
• Deprecated the EC_KEY and EC_KEY_METHOD types and functions.
• Deprecated the RSA and RSA_METHOD types and functions.
• Deprecated the DSA and DSA_METHOD types and functions.
• Deprecated the DH and DH_METHOD types and functions.
• Deprecated the ERR_load_ functions.
• Remove the RAND_DRBG API.
• Deprecated the ENGINE API.
• Added OSSL_LIB_CTX, a libcrypto library context.
• Added various _ex functions to the OpenSSL API that support using a non-default OSSL_LIB_CTX.
• Interactive mode is removed from the 'openssl' program.
• The X25519, X448, Ed25519, Ed448, SHAKE128 and SHAKE256 algorithms are included in the FIPS provider.
• X509 certificates signed using SHA1 are no longer allowed at security level 1 or higher. The default security level for TLS is 1, so certificates signed using SHA1 are by default no longer trusted to authenticate servers or clients.
• enable-crypto-mdebug and enable-crypto-mdebug-backtrace were mostly disabled; the project uses address sanitize/leak-detect instead.
• Added a Certificate Management Protocol (CMP, RFC 4210) implementation also covering CRMF (RFC 4211) and HTTP transfer (RFC 6712). It is part of the crypto lib and adds a 'cmp' app with a demo configuration. All widely used CMP features are supported for both clients and servers.
• Added a proper HTTP client supporting GET with optional redirection, POST, arbitrary request and response content types, TLS, persistent connections, connections via HTTP(s) proxies, connections and exchange via user-defined BIOs (allowing implicit connections), and timeout checks.
• Added util/check-format.pl for checking adherence to the coding guidelines.
• Added OSSL_ENCODER, a generic encoder API.
• Added OSSL_DECODER, a generic decoder API.
• Added OSSL_PARAM_BLD, an easier to use API to OSSL_PARAM.
• Added error raising macros, ERR_raise() and ERR_raise_data().
• Deprecated ERR_put_error(), ERR_get_error_line(), ERR_get_error_line_data(), ERR_peek_error_line_data(), ERR_peek_last_error_line_data() and ERR_func_error_string().
• Added OSSL_PROVIDER_available(), to check provider availibility.
• Added 'openssl mac' that uses the EVP_MAC API.
• Added 'openssl kdf' that uses the EVP_KDF API.
• Add OPENSSL_info() and 'openssl info' to get built-in data.
• Add support for enabling instrumentation through trace and debug output.
• Changed our version number scheme and set the next major release to 3.0.0
• Added EVP_MAC, an EVP layer MAC API, and a generic EVP_PKEY to EVP_MAC bridge. Supported MACs are: BLAKE2, CMAC, GMAC, HMAC, KMAC, POLY1305and SIPHASH.
• Removed the heartbeat message in DTLS feature.
• Added EVP_KDF, an EVP layer KDF and PRF API, and a generic EVP_PKEY to EVP_KDF bridge. Supported KDFs are: HKDF, KBKDF, KRB5 KDF, PBKDF2, PKCS12 KDF, SCRYPT, SSH KDF, SSKDF, TLS1 PRF, X9.42 KDF and X9.63 KDF.
• All of the low-level MD2, MD4, MD5, MDC2, RIPEMD160, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512 and Whirlpool digest functions have been deprecated.
• All of the low-level AES, Blowfish, Camellia, CAST, DES, IDEA, RC2, RC4, RC5 and SEED cipher functions have been deprecated.
• All of the low-level DH, DSA, ECDH, ECDSA and RSA public key functions have been deprecated.
• SSL 3, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and DTLS 1.0 only work at security level 0.
• Added providers, a new pluggability concept that will replace the ENGINE API and ENGINE implementations.

They also say (reformatted to not be on a silly superlong line)

Most applications that worked with OpenSSL 1.1.1 will still work
unchanged and will simply need to be recompiled (although you may
see numerous compilation warnings about using deprecated APIs).

Some applications may need to make changes to compile and work
correctly, and many applications will need to be changed to avoid
the deprecations warnings. We have put together a migration guide
[https://www.openssl.org/docs/man3.0/man7/migration_guide.html]
to describe the major differences in OpenSSL 3.0 compared to
previous releases.

In other words, for anyone upgrading an existing (BLFS) system you will need to recompile everything which links to openssl before you can discard the currently-installed 1.1.1.

Besides the afalg failure (we've documented in the book), 80-test_cmp_http.t also fails:

​https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/16546

Below is a list of packages I've rebuilt with OpenSSL-3.0.0 (updating):

• Python 3
• cryptosetup
• systemd
• krb5 (need sed 's/error=discarded-qualifiers //' src/configure -i)
• openssh
• sudo
• libarchive (with patch from ​https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/issues/1549)
• libssh2
• curl
• wget
• lynx
• wpa_supplicant
• git
• neon, with 3 patches:

Perl module IO-Socket-SSL now fails 8 of 16 subtests in t/connectSSL-timeout.t At this stage I have no idea if it is usable.

Ruby-3.0.2 ftbfs

Searching led me to ​https://github.com/ruby/openssl/issues/369 (Ruby doesn't support openssl-3.0). Not a package I care greatly about, I only use it in one of my tests of the texmf scripts.

Looking at other matches which google found for me, after all the homebrew mac problems (they switched to openssl-3) was a patch at gentoo. But it doesn't fix the problem for me maybe it fixes a different problem. ​https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=739632

Replying to ken@…:

In fact it fails other tests later in the suite. If the connection is fine, it works in normal usage, but one of my biber tests (using ​https:// to get a remote bib file, 'remote1' in my current latest-test tarball) sometimes fails (i.e. it failed once a while ago, and I guess the file was temporarily unavailable). The link seems to have provided some sort of 'not available' response or timeout with openssl-3, but that was interpreted as 'success, file downloaded' and then biber complained that a temporary file was corrupted. Unfortunately, that temporary file was deleted.

I've raised ​https://github.com/noxxi/p5-io-socket-ssl/issues/111

[ken@…]

To avoid this being lost: I cannot build cbindgen (and therefore firefox). Raised as ​https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/10013 - some rust crates need to be fixed. I guess that might happen for 1.58.0 or 1.59.0.

[ken@…]

Replying to ken@…: I've raised ​https://github.com/noxxi/p5-io-socket-ssl/issues/111

And there I was asked about the test in its dependency Net-SSLeay. I was allowing the tests in that to fail because we say that one external test *could* fail. In fact, with openssl-3.0.0 many tests now fail (5 tests ,37 subtests). I've now raised ​https://github.com/radiator-software/p5-net-ssleay/issues/330

With those, only 1 subtest fails in Net-SSLeay. No change to the failures in IO-Socket-SSL.

[ken@…]

If this goes in, we should use the developer release of Net-SSLeay, currently ​https://metacpan.org/release/CHRISN/Net-SSLeay-1.91_01 which fixes all the tests in that for me.

IO-OpenSSL still broken if attempting to retrieve something returns soemthing other than 'success' (and is treated as success).

With cbindgen, if the cargo files have already been downloaded with a previous version of openssl I can build cbindgen. But not using only openssl-3.0.0 and rustc-1.56.0. I don't regard that dirty approach as suitable for the book, so as I said to Bruce, if this goes in then someone else will have to update firefox-91.3.0 on Tuesday.

[ken@…]

Now that my outgoing mail *appears* to be working again (no idea what changed), I'll mention that the fix for cbindgen is upstream, and I've proved that using a sed to change the versions of the curl and curl-sys crates (to 0.4.40 and 0.4.50) in rust's src/tools/cargo/Cargo.toml does the job for me.

A while ago I mailed the editors that I didn't think updating to rustc-1.56.1 was important (although for anyone who codes in rust that is a good idea), but since the sed requires rustc to be rebuilt I think this would be a good time to update and remeasure. I assume builds are a little slower because of the extra lint. I'll also mention that although rustc becomes 1.56.1, cargo remains at 1.56.0.

Unfortunately, my fresh build to test this has ended up with an almost unusable xfce, so I can't measure this until I find out what broke (I'm guessing something using meson-0.60, but for the moment that is just a guess).

[Bruce Dubbs]

Now version 3.0.1.

[ken@…]

I've today had a report that IO::Socket:SSL-2.073 contains small changes which should mean it works and tests fine with openssl-3.0.0. At the moment I have no time to test this.

[Xi Ruoyao]

Ruby-3.1.0 works fine with OpenSSL-3.

[Douglas R. Reno]

Ruby and stunnel have been upgraded.

[Douglas R. Reno]

No tests failed on this build.

For anyone looking to subject their system to OpenSSL-3 *only* (no OpenSSL-1.1), run the following commands:

rm -v /usr/lib/lib{crypto,ssl}.so*
rm -v /usr/lib/pkgconfig/{libcrypto,libssl,openssl}.pc
rm -v /usr/bin/{c_rehash,openssl}
rm -rfv /usr/lib/engines-1.1
rm -rfv /usr/include/openssl
rm -rfv /usr/share/doc/openssl-1.1.1m
rm -rfv /etc/ssl

Note that I'm doing this on a fresh system with systemd-250 coming along for the ride. I'll fix any problems that come up in BLFS too that I experience.

I think Bruce wants to drop OpenSSL-3.0.1 in on Friday

[Douglas R. Reno]

Note that I'm still in chroot, just had the quick idea to run the tests for Python-3 as I rebuilt it.

This should be a non-issue, but bringing it up in case anyone else notices it. test_unicodedata fails due to me not having name resolution in chroot, but test_ssl fails because of an assertion failure when determining the OpenSSL version. I suspect that will be fixed in a later version of Python. Note that Fedora doesn't have a patch for it either (because it's just a test issue)

404 tests OK.

2 tests failed:
    test_ssl test_unicodedata

    test_ftplib

My results with one of the biber tests to use a remote bib file (on openssl-3.0.0 with IO-Socket-SSL-2.073 were not any better than before that was fixed for openssl-3. But that test is for the few of us who build biber from source, and the temporary test files get deleted by biber so that there is nothing to examine apart from the report.

I'm inclined to remove that test from my latex tests tarball since there is no way of determining what goes wrong. So, no objection to the upgrade.

[Douglas R. Reno]

wpa_supplicant does compile okay (has a ton of warnings), but has issues when connecting to some networks.

This is the error you'll get:

OpenSSL: EVP_DigestInit_ex failed: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported
tls_connection_set_params: Clearing pending SSL error: error:03000086:digital envelope routines::initialization error

I'll craft a patch to fix this since Fedora has fixes for it at ​https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/wpa_supplicant/tree/rawhide - I'll try:

0001-OpenSSL-Allow-systemwide-secpolicy-overrides-for-TLS.patch
0001-EAP-TTLS-PEAP-peer-Fix-failure-when-using-session-ti.patch 
0001-openssl-Disable-padding-after-initializing-the-ciphe.patch 
0001-openssl-Remove-deprecated-functions-from-des_encrypt.patch 

[Douglas R. Reno]

My patch does not fix all of the deprecation warnings, but does allow wpa_supplicant to connect to my network again. I'll drop that in shortly, just want to build a couple of other things first.

[Douglas R. Reno]

Python 2 has some major breakage with OpenSSL-3. It'll still build the _ssl module, but it thinks the SSL version is 0000000000.

An example of a test failure:

Regarding Net-SSLeay, I can definitely confirm that something's wrong in it's current state:

I haven't given up on my IO-Socket-SSL|biber problem, just lacking time.

[Douglas R. Reno]

A few quick updates:

• OpenLDAP's client built. Server untested, will do that later (after GNOME-41).

• Cyrus SASL builds fine with tons of compilation warnings (over 300). Seems to work well for me, but I did check Fedora's repository and they have several OpenSSL-3 related fixes... but I'm not sure if they affect us. Still though, if someone wants me to apply those patches, let me know.

• Sendmail works fine, which is not something I was honestly expecting. It looks like they added OpenSSL-3 compatibility back when OpenSSL-3 was still in alpha.

It looks like the next package I could hit an issue with is MIT Kerberos 5. I'm almost to systemd and will hopefully have that (and meson) in tonight, pending no problems with rustc or any other packages I need to build of course!

[Douglas R. Reno]

For krb5, I can confirm Xi's report regarding build failures if -Werror=discarded-qualifiers is set, and the sed does fix that problem. The test suite still exhibits the same behavior related to DejaGNU, and almost all of the TCL+Expect tests are broken due to slight differences in output from OpenSSL-1.1.1 to OpenSSL-3.0.

I was able to successfully test the package using the configuration in the book.

If we do encounter any more issues with this particular package, both Fedora and upstream have at least 8 patches for it. Most of them seem to be related to removing deprecated code and some cryptography-related refactoring, but there is also the removal of the kadm5 TCL/dejagnu tests and replacing them with python-based tests.

I have also started kdc, kadmin, and kpropd using their respective systemd units and didn't notice any difference in output when comparing to the same on my development machine (other than a message complaining about dictionaries not being available, but I don't have cracklib at this stage so I don't have anything in /usr/share/dict).

In terms of the python tests, I do get an extra failure on OpenSSL-3.0 that I didn't receive on OpenSSL-1.1:

This is indicative of a problem, however I'm unable to reproduce it using the configuration in the book. For example:

But at the same time, this behavior may only exhibit itself if you're passing a certificate to Kerberos as an authentication mechanism - something which other packages in the book could do (such as Evolution, gnome-online-accounts, pidgin, or Wireshark).

Further investigation shows that the certificate does exist, but the way Kerberos generated it *is not valid and uses a removed algorithm*:

Because of that, I'm inclined to add the patches in, but without the removal of the TCL tests. I'll do that after dinner here.

[Douglas R. Reno]

Over at Fedora, I'm going to try the patches in the following order:

Patch21: Fix-softpkcs11-build-issues-with-openssl-3.0.patch
Patch22: Remove-deprecated-OpenSSL-calls-from-softpkcs11.patch
Patch23: Fix-k5tls-module-for-OpenSSL-3.patch
Patch32: Add-buildsystem-detection-of-the-OpenSSL-3-KDF-inter.patch
Patch33: Use-OpenSSL-s-SSKDF-in-PKINIT-when-available.patch
Patch34: Use-OpenSSL-s-KBKDF-and-KRB5KDF-for-deriving-long-te.patch
Patch35: Handle-OpenSSL-3-s-providers.patch

I suspect the providers patch may be the only one that is actually required, but it doesn't hurt to have the others taken care of as well. Maybe we can also do without the sed to configure (since we'll need to run an autoreconf anyway).

[Douglas R. Reno]

Ouch, that took a lot longer than I was expecting and was painful.

I ended up needing to apply all seven of those patches from Fedora. Note that this does get rid of the compiler errors/warnings that Xi's sed silenced too, and fixes tons of deprecation issues.

After creating the patch, I ended up having to make several modifications to get Kerberos to build again. Fedora assumes that you're going to be using the OpenSSL backend for *tls* and *crypto* instead of Kerberos' internal backend. The advantage for using OpenSSL for these backends is that, if you have FIPS enabled (which is very uncommon and is barred from export in some countries), Kerberos can use it. However, because their patches assume that you're using those backends in Kerberos, it throws a compiler error because of undefined variables in a function that is only supposed to be used on systems that have those backends. To work around that, I #ifdef-ed it out because we're using Kerberos' internal backends for TLS and cryptography (which is also what Arch and most other distributions do).

Tests appear to be much more stable throughout, but that one Python test is still having issues. It appears to be an issue with the Dejagnu/TCL section of the test suite failing and not creating users like it is supposed to (it even notes that 'lib.t' isn't in the search path for dejagnu). However, this patch is long enough - I don't think we really need to worry about it. We already have our bases covered with the line "Some tests may fail with the latest version of dejagnu and glibc.", and removing the TCL tests (and modifying the others) would add over 18,000 lines to the patch.

This appears to be due to serf using an OpenSSL function for non-SSL-related things. To work around it, we need to add a copy of ERR_GET_FUNC to buckets/ssl_buckets.c in serf. Note that the bio_bucket_ctrl() function is broken in libserf-1.so as well with OpenSSL-3.

Patches are available and I will begin working on crafting one now. I'll drop it in once I can confirm that Subversion builds and tests properly.

[Douglas R. Reno]

With the patch for serf installed, subversion both builds and tests successfully (no failed tests!)

Dropping the patch in now.
