svn commit: r891282 - in /httpd/httpd/trunk/modules/ssl: ssl_engine_io.c ssl_engine_kernel.c

[jo...@apache.org]

Author: jorton
Date: Wed Dec 16 15:59:49 2009
New Revision: 891282

URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=891282&view=rev
Log:
Further mitigation for the TLS renegotation attack, CVE-2009-3555:

* modules/ssl/ssl_engine_kernel.c (has_buffered_data): New function.
  (ssl_hook_Access): Forcibly disable keepalive for the connection if
  there is any buffered data readable from the input filter stack.

* modules/ssl/ssl_engine_io.c (ssl_io_filter_input): Ensure that the
  BIO uses blocking operations when invoked outside direct control of
  the httpd filter stack.

Thanks to Hartmut Keil <Hartmut.Keil adnovum.ch> for proposing this
technique.
