Request #53447 Cannot disable SessionTicket extension for servers that do not support it
Submitted: 2010-12-02 07:39 UTC Modified: 2010-12-13 09:29 UTC
From: clint at ubuntu dot com Assigned: aharvey (profile)
Status: Closed Package: OpenSSL related
PHP Version: 5.3.3 OS: Linux (Ubuntu)
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2010-12-02 07:39 UTC] clint at ubuntu dot com
Description:
------------
This bug originated here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/592442

As noted in the bug discussion, servers that do not properly support the 
SessionTicket extension added in openssl 0.9.8n and later will produce an error.

Users should have the ability to disable this extension, much like the openssl 
s_client utility does by passing -no_ticket.

With the test script below, if php is compiled against openssl < 0.9.8n (such as 
0.9.8g) will print the actual HTTP result on all three servers, but with >= 
0.9.8n, will fail with SSL errors.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$urls = array("https://cas.ucdavis.edu/login", "https://server.db.kvk.nl/", "https://gmail.com/");

foreach ($urls as $url) {
	$fp = fopen($url, 'r');
	print "$url - ";
	if ($fp === FALSE) {
 		print "FAIL\n";
	} else {
		$data = stream_get_contents($fp);
		print "OK ". strlen($data)." bytes\n";
	}
	fclose($fp);
}


Expected result:
----------------
https://cas.ucdavis.edu/login - OK 4796 bytes

Warning: fopen(https://server.db.kvk.nl/): failed to open stream: HTTP request 
failed! HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden

https://server.db.kvk.nl/ - FAIL

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in 
/home/clint/test.php on line 14

Actual result:
--------------

Log: Implemented FR #53447 (Cannot disable SessionTicket extension for servers that
do not support it).

I haven't written a test due to the need for such a test to have a HTTPS server
available which mishandles SessionTicket requests; it's likely that server
administrators will gradually fix this either intentionally or through OpenSSL
upgrades. That said, if there's a great clamoring for a test, I'll work one up.

Implemented on trunk via a no_ticket SSL context option. This is a
reasonable candidate for 5.3, but I'm not going to push this through
while we're in the midst of a release cycle, so I'll suspend this for
now and come back to it once 5.3.4 is out.
