Re: patch: crash on using already destroyed ssl socket

Title: Re: [pjsip] patch: crash on using already destroyed ssl socket

Hello Riza,

1. Please, see the next OpenSSL calls.
BIO_pending(ssock->ossl_wbio)
SSL_do_handshake(ssock->ossl_ssl)
SSL_read(ssock->ossl_ssl, data_, size_)
SSL_write(ssock->ossl_ssl, data, (int)size)

All of these calls could use "SSL object when it has encountered a fatal error" or
the SSL object was destroyed.
My patch added this checking, but you removed it.
Why?

2. The destroy_ssl doesn't destroy write_mutex.
The write_mutex is destroyed in pj_ssl_sock_close.
My patch does nothing with this, so this potential race existed before.

The ssl should be destroyed as soon as possible to release a TCP socket/port.

To fix potential race issue with write_mutex the group locking could use.

So I combined my patch with your group locking patch.
Attached a new patch. 

Regards,
Alexei

Hi Alexei,

When doing the review your patch, we identified another potential race issue which might occur.
e.g: write_mutex get destroyed before send() is called.

We feel that using group lock will solve these issues.
As you can see from the patch, the reset_ssl_sock_state() will not destroy the ssl.
We have moved all the code of destroying ssl and write_mutex to the ssl_on_destroy()
which is called when the group lock is no longer held or reference count reach 0.

As for your concern regarding the call to BIO_pending() on a closed socket, it shouldn't be
a problem since we don't use OpenSSL for the socket operation.
Or, maybe I'm missing something here?

Best Regards,

Riza

Hello Riza,

Could you, please, explain why did you remove all checking on openssl calls from my patch?
Your patch didn't fix race condition.
Imagine
one thread calls reset_ssl_sock_state
while another thread calls BIO_pending(ssock->ossl_wbio) on already closed socket.

Pleas, look at commit 189e20c68c2399782034fec9f65d6b9ee88aac3d
https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-commits/2015-May/001035.html
  Reusing an SSL object when it has encountered a fatal error can
  have bad consequences. This is a bug in application code not libssl
  but libssl should be more forgiving and not crash.


P.S.
I don't understand why my patch isn't acceptable for you.
Could you, please, explain.

Regards,
Alexei

Hi Ross/Alexei, We have made some modification to the patch in order to incorporate the group lock. Please find the patch on the attachment, could you help us in testing it?
