I expierience the crash in jetty7 when connecting with libssl>=1.0.0.

It does work fine when I run jetty sun/oracles jdk7u4 and it also worked on ubuntu 8.04 lts with openjdk6b18, but not on ubuntu 10.04 lts with openjdk6b20 or on 12.04 with openjdk6b24 or openjdk7u3.

The ciphersuite chosen in my case is TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 in my case. When I disable all Elliptic Curve cipher suites trough jettys ssl configuration, the problem gets away.

This bug had been fixed for openjdk-6 - 6b18-1.8-0ubuntu1 (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/+bug/556549), but produced another bug so was undone it seems (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/+bug/580982)

Out of curiosity I've further examined the problem. Here my results.

It seems that the used libnss3 only supports these 3 elliptic curves: secp256r1 secp384r1 and secp521r1

(See source package for libnss3 on ubuntu 12.04
   openjdk-6-src/nss-3.13.1.with.ckbi.1.88/mozilla/security/nss/freebl/ecl/ecl-curve.h:

/* mapping between ECCurveName enum and pointers to ECCurveParams */
static const ECCurveParams *ecCurve_map[] = {
        NULL, /* ECCurve_noName */
        NULL, /* ECCurve_NIST_P192 */
        NULL, /* ECCurve_NIST_P224 */
        &ecCurve_NIST_P256, /* ECCurve_NIST_P256 */
        &ecCurve_NIST_P384, /* ECCurve_NIST_P384 */

        NULL, /* ECCurve_NIST_K163 */
        NULL, /* ECCurve_NIST_B163 */
…
    all following are NULL too
}

)

But sun.security.ssl.HelloExtensions.isSupported() always returns true (because "fips mode" is false) - for every existing or non existing curve ID.

OpenSSL in ssl client mode suggests curves in the following order: curve names: {sect571r1, sect571k1, secp521r1, sect409k1, sect409r1, secp384r1, sect283k1, sect283r1, secp256k1, secp256r1, sect239k1, sect233k1, sect233r1, secp224k1, secp224r1, sect193r1, sect193r2, secp192k1, secp192r1, sect163k1, sect163r1, sect163r2, secp160k1, secp160r1, secp160r2}

Because HelloExtensions.isSupported() now says true for the first one (Index 14 = sect571r1), this one is being chosen, but as libnss3 does not support it this leads to

-> SECFailure in gf_populate_params in ecdecode.c:182
-> SECFailure with SetError(SEC_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_ELLIPTIC_CURVE); in EC_FillParams:597
-> rv 304 (CKR_DOMAIN_PARAMS_INVALID) at Java_sun_security_pkcs11_wrapper_PKCS11_C_1GenerateKeyPair:167
167 rv = (*ckpFunctions->C_GenerateKeyPair)(ckSessionHandle, &ckMechanism,
168 ckpPublicKeyAttributes, ckPublicKeyAttributesLength,
169 ckpPrivateKeyAttributes, ckPrivateKeyAttributesLength,
170 ckpPublicKeyHandle, ckpPrivateKeyHandle);

which prouces a PKCS11Exception in sun.security.pkcs11.P11KeyPairGenerator:314
long[] keyIDs = token.p11.C_GenerateKeyPair
                (session.id(), new CK_MECHANISM(mechanism),
                publicKeyTemplate, privateKeyTemplate);

which is being converted into a ProviderException which is catched in the Handshakers DelegatedTask and being remembered als "thrown" until the unwrap() and then thrown.

call stack at this point:
P11KeyPairGenerator.generateKeyPair() line: 314
KeyPairGenerator$Delegate.generateKeyPair() line: 687
ECDHCrypt.<init>(String, SecureRandom) line: 63
ServerHandshaker.setupEphemeralECDHKeys() line: 1204
ServerHandshaker.trySetCipherSuite(CipherSuite) line: 1058
ServerHandshaker.chooseCipherSuite(HandshakeMessage$ClientHello) line: 887

This prevents the response from the server being created and the HandshakeResponse stays in NEEDS_UNWRAP mode as nothing can be sent back to the client and the connection hangs and times out.

*Ouch*

I just realized that it is sufficient to modify /etc/java-6-openjdk/security/java.security so it uses the sun Elliptic Curve impelementation wich is also included in openjdk.

Just change the line
security.provider.9=sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11 ${java.home}/lib/security/nss.cfg
to
security.provider.9=sun.security.ec.SunEC
security.provider.10=sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11 ${java.home}/lib/security/nss.cfg

and move the Sun EC implementation, which provides all curves, in front of the pkcs11 implementation so it is being tried first when creating the key pair.

Hm. Now I get a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: sun.security.ec.SunEC even on openjdk7. I was sure this worked before.

It seems the SunEC provider was added in jdk7, so no way to get this to work in jdk6, but it should work on openjdk7 at least.
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/security/SunProviders.html#SunEC

The reason it worked on openjdk-6 yesterday was plainly, that I commented out the pkcs11 provider and the SunEC provider is not available so EllipticCurve was disabled completely when negotiating the used cipher.

So a potential workaround for people affected by this problem would be to comment out the line

#security.provider.9=sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11 ${java.home}/lib/security/nss.cfg

But of course this has the potential problem that EC is no longer available at all which might affect other java applications too.

In my opinion it would be best to fix sun.security.ssl.HelloExtensions.isSupported() so it returns only true for secp256r1 secp384r1 and secp521r1 when the SunEC Provider is not available.

I guess somebody else knows better than me how to implement this in a generic way. For example I don't know why the SunEC provider is not included in IceadTea. Is this a licensing issue for oss? For libnss3 it seems to be a patent issue with the other curves from what I've read, but I'm also not sure about this. Otherwise the best solution at all would be to add the missing curves - but I guess there is a reason they were removed.

The most-non-generic but easiest working solution would probably be trough a patch to the openjdk sources for IcedTea which does a hard check for all curves ones implemented in libnss3 and only returns true for them.

This completely disables Elliptic Curves so another method is chosen. It seems SunEC is not available in iced tea builds currently.

SSL debug from tomcat6's catalina.out

Description of problem:
Using RHEL 6.5, tomcat6 and java-1.7.0-openjdk, I get the following exception in the catalina.out:

%% Initialized: [Session-1, SSL_NULL_WITH_NULL_NULL]
matching alias: tomcat

%% Invalidated: [Session-1, SSL_NULL_WITH_NULL_NULL]

The client gets an SSL error. If I use java-1.6.0 the problem goes away. If I used the java.security and nss.cfg from java-1.60 with java-1.7.0 it works fine as well.

This is *not* a problem with java-1.7.0-1.7.0.60 on Fedora 18 or 19. Looking in dist-git we enabled nss for RHEL 6.5:

%global enable_nss 1

That is the only difference I have found between the JREs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

I have tried both version of the jdk with no success.

How reproducible:
On my RHEL 6.5 guest with the above rpm versions, I can recreate it at will.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Installed RHEL 6.5
2. Ensure java-1.7.0-openjdk is installed
3. Install Subscription Asset Manager (SAM) 1.3
4. try to connect using rest-client
4a. scl enable ruby193 'irb'
4b. > require 'rest-client'
4c. > RestClient.get("https://localhost:8443/candlepin/status")

Actual results:
client gets an error.

Interesting. What is happening here is the following:

1. The client tries to get a crypto provider that supports SSL_NULL_WITH_NULL_NULL.
2. If the NSS provider is not present, no provider responds to this request and the client requests TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA instead.
3. If the NSS provider is present, instead of saying it doesn't support the algorithm it throws an exception which is carried up to the client.

So the NSS provider is giving the wrong response.

yes, NSS in 6.5 introduced support for TLSv1.2 and ECC.
But the support is not complete.

In case of TLSv1.2 two features are not supported:
 * GCM
 * SHA384 as MAC
In case of ECC, only three curves are supported: nistp256, nistp384, nistp521.

so TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 won't work

Can you tell us which of the additions in the list above should work, if any? It looks like we're going to need to find where this list is created and patch out the ones our NSS doesn't support.

We came across an issue with the curves before. Oracle's upstream test cases for this provider expect additional curves. See:

Created attachment 821065
Specify only the three supported curves

The attached patch should resolve the issue.

Looking at the code, I don't think NSS is being used for its TLS 1.2 implementation at all:

"* TLS 1.2 uses a different hash algorithm than 1.0/1.1 for the PRF calculations. As of 2010, there is no PKCS11-level support for TLS 1.2 PRF calculations, and no known OS's have an internal variant we could use. Therefore for TLS 1.2, we are updating JSSE to request different provider algorithms (e.g. "SunTls12Prf"), and currently only SunJCE has these TLS 1.2 algorithms. If we reused the names such as "SunTlsPrf", the PKCS11 providers would need be updated to fail correctly when presented with the wrong version number (via Provider.Service.supportsParameters()), and we would also need to add the appropriate supportsParamters() checks into KeyGenerators (not currently there).In the future, if PKCS11 support is added, we will restructure this."

which is where the mismatch occurs. Instead of probing providers for which curves they support, the OpenJDK TLS code hardcodes a set list and uses that in its implementation of the Hello ECC curves extension.

The fix just cuts that list down to the three NSS curves. I don't know why this wasn't designed so as to use an API to ask providers for the curves they support. We obviously can't add it to 7 now.

Once I can upgrade to 6.5, I'll start testing/debugging this locally.

I've managed to reproduce it on there too, but I can't see any obvious differences. It's mystifying.

Are both ends of the transmission Java clients? I did notice that lsof shows postgres, sendmail, cups and ssh to have references to a deleted version of NSS.

If anyone has a simpler reproducer, it would be very welcome :)

As a workaround, there is a property we could change the default of and thus turn off ECC. Thoughts?

Ok, I'm pretty sure I've found the issue here and it's nothing to do with either Java or even NSS.

I can access the URL fine on both machines with wget and curl. The same issue I patched earlier has also been fixed in OpenSSL (used by your ruby client) recently:

i.e. basically your OpenSSL implementation was saying it supports nist512 when it doesn't. Thus, when the Java side sent it data encrypted with a nist512 curve, it failed.

Yes that is correct. The patch changes it to the shorter output to match NSS.

The fix is not applicable to upstream. Upstream does does not remove support for certain Elliptic Curves. That is something specific to RHEL packages.

This bug is not about OpenSSL. You need to comment on their bug report.

It is clearly about openssl, or nss. At least the same reason why this bug report was opened. The workaround proposed here, worked for openfire too. It is something about the handling of tls 1.2. Openfire can't do anything about it, if the error is somewhere below the jvm, isn't it. Unfortunately I'm not well versed with nss/openssl, so I don't really know to whom I should report this, but I figured, due to the fact that the workaround provided here worked too, I can only conclude that the source of the problem is the same; or at least something very similar. Sorry, if I sounded angry before, but it looked to me like, .. nah don't bother with reporting this upstream, we just patch it ourselves, but whatever; I'm a bit helpless here to whom this should be reported.

This is a bug related to java-1.7.0-openjdk, so no it's not "clearly about openssl or nss".

As far as RHEL is concerned, this issue is "resolved", in the sense that we have reverted the use of NSS as the default provider due to other issues with it. Marking it so.

Just debugged this on OpenJDK 7, Tomcat 7, Debian wheezy.

The workaround to comment out the line

security.provider.9=sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11 ${java.home}/lib/security/nss.cfg

worked. The line

#security.provider.9=sun.security.ec.SunEC

was already commented out, since this is the nōn-free part AFAICT.

Andrew John Hughes (ahughes) wrote :

Some feedback on this bug as I worked on it from the RH side.

* The OpenJDK Java code for elliptic curve support in SSL uses a list of curves based on the in-tree code used by Oracle.
* The actual curves supported by the system version of NSS used on most distributions is much shorter; it's basically three approved NIST curves. I assume this is for legal reasons which I won't try and go into further.
* This bug comes about because of the mismatch between the two. The Java code says it supports one set of curves, but in practice, the underlying provider code doesn't.
* This is true whether the combination of NSS with the PKCS11 provider is used (the Ubuntu setup above and what Red Hat were trying in its bug) or with the SunEC provider (support for this is coming in IcedTea 2.5.0).

The next set of releases (2.4.8, 2.5.0) will include a patch which fixes the list of curves on the Java side to match the list used by system NSS. This bug should then be properly resolved and the above workaround will not be needed.

Looking to the future, the SunEC provider may be a better solution for providing elliptic curve support - it matches what Oracle use in their packages - but doing so with a system NSS will require 3.16.1, in order to expose necessary APIs. Even then, it is necessary to link against a static NSS library at build-time.

Re-opening this as we appear to have regressed on this issue with the java-1.8.0-openjdk package. We now ship the SunEC provider which also uses NSS (see bug 1208307) and the same three curves, but the patch from comment #21 was never forward-ported to the OpenJDK 8 packages. It was already in the OpenJDK 7 packages when SunEC support was added, so it was missed as not being one of the changes we made then.
