I don't think we need it.  We're already getting a similar message as things stand now.  The existing message doesn't correlate the extension with the message, but you can figure out which message is being processed by looking at where it falls in the trace.

I'll push this as-is.  Thanks for the review and the improvements to the overall fix.

Hi Jamil,

Thanks for the new update, which looks pretty good to me.

If have something (like SSLLogger.debug()) for line 96 could mitigate your worries about the debug log?

SSLExtensions.java:
-   96 // debug log to ignore unknown extension for handshakeType
+ if (SSLLogger.isOn && ...) {
+    SSLLogger.debug("Ignore unknown or unsupported extension (" +
+        SSLExtension.nameOf(extId) + ") in " +
+        SSLHandshake.nameOf(handshakeType));
+ }

Thanks,

Hi Xuelei, et al.,

I have a new version of the webrev here:

https://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jnimeh/reviews/8236039/webrev.02

I thought a little more about what you said about consumers and tried looking at the logging both with and without the CR consumer in place. With your changes to the SSLExtensions constructor, combined with the new SSLExtension.nameOf(int), I think we can not have the consumer and the resulting logs look good.  You still get a warning when processing a CR status_request, but now an "unknown or unsupported" message that identifies "status_request (5)" makes more sense.  The status_request extension is identified by name now but unsupported in the CR message which is accurate, but no consumer overhead at all, debug or not.  Best of both worlds.

When we get to doing the client-side OCSP stapling feature, then we'll need server side producers and client-side consumers.  But all that fun is for a later date.

Thanks,

Let me throw out another idea.  I think the actual parsing only happens in the consumer if you call the spec constructor.  You could have a consumer registered that simply returns null.  That avoids the extra unknown/unsupported log message that we don't need and you don't have the cost of actually parsing the extension.  It should just skip over it. The only performance hit you take is the actual call into one additional method.  That shouldn't have a major performance impact.

Just to see how it would work, I created SSLExtension.nameOf(int) which takes the extension ID and returns a name or "unknown extension".  I did that because I didn't want to mess with valueOf(SSLHandshake, int) since there's other logic depending on that returning null for extensions we don't support.

The result was that the unsupported-but-known extensions have their names presented, which is a nice thing for those looking at the log.

We may not want to parse the extension if the debug is not enabled.   It may not worthy to define consume for debug only.  How about replace “unknown” with “unsupported”? And parse the extension id to literal name if the name is known?

Hi Xuelei, I backed out my change and went solely with the approach you suggested below.  It works in that it allows the handshake to proceed.  I notice these debug log messages though during consumption of the CR message from the server:

javax.net.ssl|DEBUG|01|main|2020-01-04 15:02:26.636 PST|SSLExtensions.java:135|Ignore unknown or unsupported extension (

     }
   ]
}
)

In the debug logs, it seems like we shouldn't call a status_request extension an "unknown extension" because we know what it is and can parse it.  Having the entry in SSLExtension for CR_STATUS_REQUEST and a simple do-nothing consumer gets rid of the status_request/unknown messages and has it render in the printing of the CR message properly.

While we're talking about the debug logs we have other extensions that we know about and have entries in SSLExtension, but they have no per-message registration. You can see in the CR above that 18 (signed_certificate_timestamp) and 47 (certificate_authorities) are extensions that we were aware of enough to put basic entries in SSLExtension for, but just didn't put full consumer/producer support in there.

It might be nice to use the display approach that we have for an unsupported extension for those extensions we at least know about, but rather than say "unknown extension" at the start of the printing at least give the name.  Let me see if I can make that work without it being too invasive.

CertStatusExtension.java

typo? server -> client

It wold be nice to add a debug log that this extension get ignored.  But may not need to define this consumer as it is not supported.

SSLExtension.java
-----------------
As this fix does not implement this feature yet, is it possible to just define it without the on-load consumer?

Otherwise, it looks fine to me.

BTW, this issue reminders me a common problem: if an extension is supported in a handshake message, we need to know all other handshake messages that could use the extension, and define an SSLExtension enum for them. Otherwise, a similar issue could happen.  I think it would be challenge to know that in practice.

So I was just wondering, could we just release the check in the SSLExtensions.java implementation (from line 71 to 95)?  If the extension for the specific handshake type is not defined, just ignore it, except for ServerHello?  I think the behavior complies to the TLS 1.3 protocol.

if (SSLExtension.isConsumable(extId) &&
     SSLExtension.valueOf(handshakeType, extId) == null) {
     ...
-   } else {
+   } else if (handshakeType == SSLHandshake.SERVER_HELLO) {
         throw hm.handshakeContext.conContext.fatal(
               Alert.UNSUPPORTED_EXTENSION,
               "extension (" + extId +
               ") should not be presented in " + handshakeType.name);
+   } else {
+       isSupported = false;
+       // debug log to ignore unknown extension for handshakeType
     }
}

Hi All, the golang folks have been running into an issue where our JSSE client treats the status_request extension in a CertificateRequest message from a golang server as an unknown extension and alerts.  This quick fix will allow the client to read and accept the extension and proceed.  I believe you need golang 1.13.x to see this take place.

This fix does not implement client-side OCSP stapling. That will be an RFE for another day.
