Hello,

thanks for reporting your test results.

Regarding the “exit” topic – if you want to close tcp connections from the cfg 
script, 5.6.x has tcp_close_connection(..) in tcpops available.

Cheers,

Henning

Subject: Re: [SR-Users] Recommended openSSL version


Hello,

Sorry for bumping this old up, but some outcome from my research.

1. CentOS 7 provided OpenSSL (1.0.2k-fips  26 Jan 2017) really leads Kamailio 
5.x.x crash on high load (tested with 5.4 - 5.6) with 
sippts<https://github.com/Pepelux/sippts> tool.

2. Good results are obtained with Kamailio 5.6.2 with tlsa flavour statically 
linked with openssl 1.1.1q (here I have problem with lacking of TLS 
connections, but it's something different)

And with this result I have a question, when I'm invoking

exit;

on Kamailio script it's not "freeing" TCP connection as I got, I've managed 
"freeing" (or not occupying) connection with iptables

-j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset

Is there anything same for Kamailio or I need to add smth like fail2ban on top?

Thanks in advance!

Daniel,

Thanks for clarifying this!
And to ask, is websocket module also uses libssl indirectly or should not be 
the cause in this one? (I'm not using http or so).

Hello,

to add to this topic: tls module runs smooth when no other module uses an 
external library that is linked also with tls, I didn't have issue with in the 
past few years.

But if another module that indirectly links also the libssl, I also got random 
crashes, usually during events when kamailio code is not involved at all. For 
example, a while ago using the http_client module (which uses libcurl that 
linked also libssl) resulted in sporadic crashes during tls handshake -- that's 
all in libssl, nothing to do with sip traffic at that stage. And actually there 
were also crashes when opening the connection to the https server. The 
behaviour was non-deterministic, months without any issue, then 1-2 crashes in 
a week or so, then all good as well. I somehow related it to minor updates of 
the operating system.

After all, I ended up writing ruxc module to have an alternative http_client() 
function and from that moment no libssl related crash on the respective system. 
Strange that on another customer having same OS and using http_client() 
function, all was and still is fine. So it could be also related to tls 
settings in both sides of the connection (e.g., ciphers, renegotiation, tls 
version, ...).

If you migrate to kamailio 5.6.x, then you can also try using tlsa module 
instead of tls, that should isolate the global libssl contexts, one inside the 
tlsa and one in those modules linking dynamically libssl.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi Igor,

I jumped from 5.3 to 5.5.x so I read carefull the changelog and migrate steps.

Show a bit about tls.

Karsten,

Thanks for your answer!

Out of your head, were there any significant changes in TCP/TLS on 5.4 -> 5.5 
change?

Regards,

Igor

Hi Igor,

I also use CentOS 7 with the same openssl version and between 1000 up to 2000 
tls/wss connections.

Works for me. Main difference I use Kamailio 5.5.x

Kind regards

Hello!

Due to I still experience irregular Kamailio 5.4 crashes (like 1/month) related 
to SSL (using websockets and SIPS) I'm wondering, could openSSL upgrade change 
the situation?
As of now in CentOS 7 I have 1.0.2k version.

Does anyone have experience to fix crash-related to TLS problems with openSSL 
upgrade?

Or maye some tuneup of TCP parameters can help here?My current setup is quite 
simple:

children=4
enable_tls=yes
tcp_accept_no_cl=yes
tcp_connection_lifetime=600
tcp_max_connections=998976 # 1000000 - 1024, so we're leaving 1k for system 
reserve
tls_max_connections=998976

Number of clients ~ 200 constantly connected to websocket.
