Re: Squid spliced TLS handshake failing with chrome/ium fallback for certain servers

Hi again,

I can only suggest to either fix the Squid bug/limitation

I found Ssl::PeekingPeerConnector::noteNegotiationError in src/PeekingPeerConnector.cc. There are some checks for the case that srvBio->bumpMode() == Ssl::bumpPeek. If I apply the attached patch, matching on the ssl_lib_error for failed handshakes (just for testing, not an actual suggestion!) and setting bypassValidator = true in that case, the connection from Chrome to the problematic site goes through after the initial failure (configured with peeking at step2, splicing at step 3).

If you are _splicing_ connections, then Squid should not be a part of
the TLS handshake at all. If Squid is a part of the TLS handshake in an
ssl_bump peek+splice configuration, then this is a Squid bug or limitation.

I agree. Said function produces an error page, if none of the checks make it return early. Maybe the logic here should be inverted to rather enumerate error cases that actually justify an error page (maybe only local errors like failed syscalls, OOM?). I am far from understanding all possible paths of execution this may take and therefore I may easily miss an important point here, though.

Squid reported a TLS handshake error to the client
(SQUID_ERR_SSL_HANDSHAKE; Handshake with SSL server failed:
error:14094410:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert handshake failure).

After some wireshark-digging, I found that the site in question (for
reference: www.klebl.net) aborted the handshake, if the Client Hello's
"Extension: signature_algorithms" did not contain

  Signature Algorithm: rsa_pkcs1_sha1 (0x0201)
      Signature Hash Algorithm Hash: SHA1 (2)
      Signature Hash Algorithm Signature: RSA (1)

though it was perfectly capable of using SHA384 (which was negotiated
with clients that did include sha1 to their signature algorithms). The
point is, that chrome seems to have adopted a "fallback" approach since
version 82 (see
https://groups.google.com/u/1/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/yaJcs4p9LNI/m/haZWzX-UBwAJ?pli=1),
that first tries to connect without said signature algorithm in its
extension and only if that fails does a second handshake with SHA1
included. However, squid see and reports the error on the first attempt
back to the client, so that the TLS-connection setup fails.

While this seems to be something that probably should be fixed at the
server side, it does lead users to be believe Squid is at fault.

I tried bypassing TLS-handshake errors using

acl handshake_failure ssl_error SQUID_ERR_SSL_HANDSHAKE
sslproxy_cert_error allow handshake_failure

but this did not change anything (maybe sslproxy_cert_error only works
for certificate verification, but not for the handshake?)

Yes, sslproxy_cert_error is about certificates, not TLS handshakes.


Any suggestions on how to allow the first TLS-connection failure of
chrome to be passed directly back to client instead of erroeing out, or
any other ways to fix this problem?

I can only suggest to either fix the Squid bug/limitation or decide to
splice during step1 (based on client SNI, etc., before Squid talks to
the origin server).


HTH,

Alex.
