Bug ID: 67609
Summary: Incomplete OpenSSL error handling/reporting
Product: Tomcat Native
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Library
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Verified with
* Apache Tomcat Native library [1.2.40-dev] using APR version [1.7.4]
* [OpenSSL 1.1.1t 7 Feb 2023]
* Tomcat Apache Tomcat/9.0.81-dev
But also verified on Windows and FreeBSD, this is a purely client code issue of
ours.
Consider the following:
> osipovmi@deblndw024v:~/apache-tomcat-9.0.81-dev
> $ ll conf/certs-localhost/key.crt
> ---------- 1 osipovmi cad 3434 2023-09-29 23:05 conf/certs-localhost/key.crt
Note: the permissions have been removed for demonstration purposes, it is not
about the permissions, but about incomplete error reporting.
Now launch:
> $ openssl s_server -accept 0.0.0.0:20000 -key conf/certs-localhost/key.crt
> -cert conf/certs-localhost/cert.crt -pass
> file:conf/certs-localhost/key-password
> Can't open conf/certs-localhost/key.crt for reading, Permission denied
> 1:error:0200100D:system library:fopen:Permission
> denied:crypto/bio/bss_file.c:69:fopen('conf/certs-localhost/key.crt','r')
> 1:error:2006D002:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:system
> lib:crypto/bio/bss_file.c:78:
> unable to load server certificate private key file
We can now see two OpenSSL errors: 0200100D and 2006D002:
> $ openssl errstr 2006D002
> error:2006D002:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:system lib
> $ openssl errstr 0200100D
> error:0200100D:system library:fopen:Permission denied
Now let's do this with Tomcat:
> <Connector port="30001" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol"
> maxThreads="150" SSLEnabled="true"
> maxParameterCount="1000">
> <SSLHostConfig>
> <Certificate certificateKeyFile="conf/certs-localhost/key.crt"
> certificateFile="conf/certs-localhost/cert.crt"
> certificateChainFile="conf/cacerts.crt"
> type="RSA" />
> </SSLHostConfig>
> </Connector>
Output:

According to my humble OpenSSL doc understanding
(https://www.openssl.org/docs/man3.0/man3/ERR_get_error.html) OpenSSL maintains
an error queue per thread which we never consume in a while loop nor do we
clear the queue when not fully consumed.
>From a user's PoV this is unfortunate because he/she might miss important error
information here.
It might be worth looking at mod_ssl's ssl_log_ssl_error() to get all errors
from the queue.
