We implicitly only supported the prime256v1 ( aka secp256r1 )
curve for the EC keys we read as PEM files to be used in any
SSL Context. We would not fail when trying to read a key
pair using a different curve but we would silently assume
that it was using `secp256r1` which would lead to strange
TLS handshake issues if the curve was actually another one.
This commit fixes that behavior in that it
supports parsing EC keys that use any of the named curves
defined in rfc5915 and rfc5480 making no assumptions about
whether the security provider in use supports them (JDK8 and
higher support all the curves defined in rfc5480).
This change changes the way to run our test suites in
JVMs configured in FIPS 140 approved mode. It does so by:
- Configuring any given runtime Java in FIPS mode with the bundled
policy and security properties files, setting the system
properties java.security.properties and java.security.policy
with the == operator that overrides the default JVM properties
and policy.
- When runtime java is 11 and higher, using BouncyCastle FIPS
Cryptographic provider and BCJSSE in FIPS mode. These are
used as testRuntime dependencies for unit
tests and internal clusters, and copied (relevant jars)
explicitly to the lib directory for testclusters used in REST tests
- When runtime java is 8, using BouncyCastle FIPS
Cryptographic provider and SunJSSE in FIPS mode.
Running the tests in FIPS 140 approved mode doesn't require an
additional configuration either in CI workers or locally and is
controlled by specifying -Dtests.fips.enabled=true
- Improves HTTP client hostname verification failure messages
- Adds "DiagnosticTrustManager" which logs certificate information
when trust cannot be established (hostname failure, CA path failure,
etc)
These diagnostic messages are designed so that many common TLS
problems can be diagnosed based solely (or primarily) on the
elasticsearch logs.
These diagnostics can be disabled by setting
xpack.security.ssl.diagnose.trust: false

* Remove eclipse conditionals
We used to have some meta projects with a `-test` prefix because
historically eclipse could not distinguish between test and main
source-sets and could only use a single classpath.
This is no longer the case for the past few Eclipse versions.
This PR adds the necessary configuration to correctly categorize source
folders and libraries.
With this change eclipse can import projects, and the visibility rules
are correct e.x. auto compete doesn't offer classes from test code or
`testCompile` dependencies when editing classes in `main`.
Unfortunately the cyclic dependency detection in Eclipse doesn't seem to
take the difference between test and non test source sets into account,
but since we are checking this in Gradle anyhow, it's safe to set to
`warning` in the settings. Unfortunately there is no setting to ignore
it.
This might cause problems when building since Eclipse will probably not
know the right order to build things in so more wirk might be necesarry.
This commit updates the default ciphers and TLS protocols that are used
when the runtime JDK supports them. New cipher support has been
introduced in JDK 11 and 12 along with performance fixes for AES GCM.
The ciphers are ordered with PFS ciphers being most preferred, then
AEAD ciphers, and finally those with mainstream hardware support. When
available stronger encryption is preferred for a given cipher.
This is a backport of #41385 and #41808. There are known JDK bugs with
TLSv1.3 that have been fixed in various versions. These are:
1. The JDK's bundled HttpsServer will endless loop under JDK11 and JDK
12.0 (Fixed in 12.0.1) based on the way the Apache HttpClient performs
a close (half close).
2. In all versions of JDK 11 and 12, the HttpsServer will endless loop
when certificates are not trusted or another handshake error occurs. An
email has been sent to the openjdk security-dev list and #38646 is open
to track this.
3. In JDK 11.0.2 and prior there is a race condition with session
resumption that leads to handshake errors when multiple concurrent
handshakes are going on between the same client and server. This bug
does not appear when client authentication is in use. This is
JDK-8213202, which was fixed in 11.0.3 and 12.0.
4. In JDK 11.0.2 and prior there is a bug where resumed TLS sessions do
not retain peer certificate information. This is JDK-8212885.
The way these issues are addressed is that the current java version is
checked and used to determine the supported protocols for tests that
provoke these issues.
Under random seed 4304ED44CB755610 the generated byte pattern causes
BC-FIPS to throw
java.io.IOException: DER length more than 4 bytes: 101
Rather than simply returning an empty list (as it does for most random
values).
Backport of: #40939
The build script file for the `:libs:elasticsearch-ssl-config` and
`:libs:ssl-config-tests` projects was incorrectly named `eclipse.build.gradle`
while the expected name was `eclipse-build.gradle`.
In addition, this also adds a missing snippet in the `build.gradle` conf file,
that fixes the project setup for Eclipse users.
This commit enables the use of TLSv1.3 with security by enabling us to
properly map `TLSv1.3` in the supported protocols setting to the
algorithm for a SSLContext. Additionally, we also enable TLSv1.3 by
default on JDKs that support it.
An issue was uncovered with the MockWebServer when TLSv1.3 is used that
ultimately winds up in an endless loop when the client does not trust
the server's certificate. Due to this, SSLConfigurationReloaderTests
has been pinned to TLSv1.2.
Closes#32276
The default value for ssl.supported_protocols no longer includes TLSv1
as this is an old protocol with known security issues.
Administrators can enable TLSv1.0 support by configuring the
appropriate `ssl.supported_protocols` setting, for example:
xpack.security.http.ssl.supported_protocols: ["TLSv1.2","TLSv1.1","TLSv1"]
Relates: #36021
This introduces a new ssl-config library that can parse
and validate SSL/TLS settings and files.
It supports the standard configuration settings as used in the
Elastic Stack such as "ssl.verification_mode" and
"ssl.certificate_authorities" as well as all file formats used
in other parts of Elasticsearch security (such as PEM, JKS,
PKCS#12, PKCS#8, et al).
