Problem

When an initial SSL request is done, Net::HTTP stores the OpenSSL::SSL::Session object in @ssl_session.

When (after the http-keep-alive timeout has expired, or the connection was closed for some other reason) a second http request is made by Net::Http, resulting in calling Net::Http#connect (see the relevant pieces of code below, while reading the following points).

  • #connect first calls OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#session= at http.rb:924, which, in C code, eventually calls the C-method ossl_ssl_setup
  • which executes the if(!ssl) { block at ossl_ssl.c:1205, but since @hostname has not been set yet, it will not execute SSL_set_tlsext_host_name. Also, because the OpenSSL::SSL::Session object does not contain a hostname, it is not known to OpenSSL at this point.
  • it then calls OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#hostname= at http.rb:927 which only sets @hostname on OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket
  • and then it calls OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#connect at http.rb:941
  • which is doing the second call to the C-method ossl_ssl_setup, but since the if(!ssl) { already ran, it won't run again, and won't set the hostname from @hostname to SSL_set_tlsext_host_name.

This causes the second request to contains a SSL Session Ticket, but not a SNI header. This is easily verified by doing 2 calls in a ruby script, with a sleep 2.1 in between (http-keep-alive timeout is 2 seconds by default) and checking the second Client Hello message in Wireshark.

Normally this does not cause any issues, because the server looks at the SSL Session Ticket and knows for which virtual host it issued the ticket. So when a second request comes in with that ticket, it assumes the request should be handled by that vhost.

However, this breaks when the client (Ruby) thinks the session ticket is still valid (#10533 did some fixing), sends it to the server, but the server denies it. The server then starts to renegotiate the SSL session, but since the SNI header is missing, it won't know for which vhost, and sends the SSL certificate for the default vhost, which may not be the vhost it wants to connect to. The client (Ruby) then checks the certificate against the hostname it was connecting to, and finds out it doesn't match.

So, this only occurs on SSL session resumption (the second http request after http-keep-alive expired, or the connection was closed), when connecting to non-default vhosts which has a different certificate set than the default vhost, and when the client thinks the SSL Session Ticket is valid, but the server disagrees.

Why would the server deny the SSL session ticket? The client already checked if it was valid, right? Well, all kind of reasons:

  • Server may have invalidated the ticket earlier than the client
  • Server rebooted
  • Time drift
  • ...
  • but mostly because the SSL termination for a specific hostname may be handled by multiple servers, which are not sharing their SSL session tickets (or sharing them in a delayed matter).

Solution

The solution is to move the call to OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#hostname= before the call to OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#session=, so the hostname gets set when ossl_ssl_set_session calls ossl_ssl_setup

Relevant code pieces
