> Race condition causes sessions to be created for clients even though their
> certificate authentication has failed
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: ZOOKEEPER-3905
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-3905
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.5.8, 3.6.2
> Reporter: Karan Mehta
> Assignee: Andor Molnar
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.7.0
>
> Time Spent: 3h 40m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> To reproduce, apply the diff and run
> ClientSSLTest#testSecureStandaloneServer() test. The logs would show that a
> valid session was created before connection was rejected and client had to
> retry

> What should have happened:
> Server should instantly close the client's connection and NOT process any

> Potential threat:
> Malicious clients may be able to put unnecessary load/traffic on the leader

> Race Condition:
> In CertificateVerifier#operationComplete(), `addCnxn(cnxn)` method is only
> called after auth is completed. NettyServerCnxn#close() returns as a no-op
> [here|https://github.com/apache/zookeeper/blob/branch-3.5/zookeeper-server/src/main/java/org/apache/zookeeper/server/NettyServerCnxn.java#L105].

> I see this as an issue. Please assess the risk and let me know if this is a
> legit behavior or not.
