Commit Message

Steffan Karger Nov. 11, 2017, 11:37 p.m. UTC
From: Steffan Karger <steffan.karger@fox-it.com>

This allows the user to specify what certificate crypto algorithms to
support.  The supported profiles are 'preferred', 'legacy' (default) and
'suiteb', as discussed in <84590a17-1c48-9df2-c48e-4160750b2e33@fox-it.com>
(https://www.mail-archive.com/openvpn-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg14214.html).

This fully implements the feature for mbed TLS builds, because for mbed it
is both more easy to implement and the most relevant because mbed TLS 2+
is by default somewhat restrictive by requiring 2048-bit+ for RSA keys.

For OpenSSL, this implements an approximation based on security levels, as
discussed at the hackathon in Karlsruhe.

This patch uses 'legacy' as the default profile following discussion on
the openvpn-devel mailing list.  This way this patch can be applied to
both the release/2.4 and master branches.  I'll send a follow-up patch for
the master branch to change the default to 'preferred' later.

---
v2:
 - add documentation (manpage, Changes.rst and --help)
 - no longer print a warning message on each startup for OpenSSL builds
v3:
 - remove format changes in unrelated items (introduced in v2)
 - Update Changes.rst text to reflect that the default in 2.4.2 is 'legacy'
   and the default in 2.5 will be 'preferred' (as discussed on the ML).
 - This patch is for the master branch only now (due to the default).
v4:
 - Ignore the option for OpenSSL builds, instead of rejecting the option
   and refusing to start.
 - Patch is for master and release/2.4 again.  A follow-up patch will
   change the default for master later on.
v5:
 - Add (approximate) OpenSSL implementation.
 - Remove null check for argument that couln't be null anyway.

unfortunately this function does not exist in OpenSSL 1.0.x and openvpn
does not compile.

However, we don't need anything equivalent for openssl-1.0.x because the
legacy profile is implicitly supported there.


Cheers,

Patch

+- The new option ``--tls-cert-profile`` can be used to restrict the set of
+  allowed crypto algorithms in TLS certificates in mbed TLS builds.  The
+  default profile is 'legacy' for now, which allows SHA1+, RSA-1024+ and any
+  elliptic curve certificates.  The default will be changed to the 'preferred'
