.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The behaviour of the \s-1SSL\s0 library can be changed by setting several options.
The options are coded as bit-masks and can be combined by a bitwise \fBor\fR
operation (|).
.PP
\&\fBSSL_CTX_set_options()\fR and \fBSSL_set_options()\fR affect the (external)
protocol behaviour of the \s-1SSL\s0 library. The (internal) behaviour of
the \s-1API\s0 can be changed by using the similar
\&\fBSSL_CTX_set_mode\fR\|(3) and \fBSSL_set_mode()\fR functions.
.PP
During a handshake, the option settings of the \s-1SSL\s0 object are used. When
a new \s-1SSL\s0 object is created from a context using \fBSSL_new()\fR, the current
option setting is copied. Changes to \fBctx\fR do not affect already created
\&\s-1SSL\s0 objects. \fBSSL_clear()\fR does not affect the settings.
.PP
The following \fBbug workaround\fR options are available:
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_CRYPTOPRO_TLSEXT_BUG\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_CRYPTOPRO_TLSEXT_BUG"
Add server-hello extension from the early version of cryptopro draft
when \s-1GOST\s0 ciphersuite is negotiated. Required for interoperability with CryptoPro
\&\s-1CSP 3\s0.x.
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS"
Disables a countermeasure against a \s-1SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0\s0 protocol
vulnerability affecting \s-1CBC\s0 ciphers, which cannot be handled by some
broken \s-1SSL\s0 implementations.  This option has no effect for connections
using other ciphers.
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG"
Don't prefer ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be Safari on \s-1OS X.
OS X 10.8..10.8.3\s0 has broken support for ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers.
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_TLSEXT_PADDING\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_TLSEXT_PADDING"
Adds a padding extension to ensure the ClientHello size is never between
256 and 511 bytes in length. This is needed as a workaround for some
implementations.
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_ALL\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_ALL"
All of the above bug workarounds.
.PP
It is usually safe to use \fB\s-1SSL_OP_ALL\s0\fR to enable the bug workaround
options if compatibility with somewhat broken implementations is
desired.
.PP
The following \fBmodifying\fR options are available:
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_ALLOW_CLIENT_RENEGOTIATION\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_ALLOW_CLIENT_RENEGOTIATION"
Client-initiated renegotiation is disabled by default. Use
this option to enable it.
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_ALLOW_NO_DHE_KEX\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_ALLOW_NO_DHE_KEX"
In TLSv1.3 allow a non\-(ec)dhe based key exchange mode on resumption. This means
that there will be no forward secrecy for the resumed session.
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION"
Allow legacy insecure renegotiation between OpenSSL and unpatched clients or
servers. See the \fB\s-1SECURE RENEGOTIATION\s0\fR section for more details.
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE"
When choosing a cipher, use the server's preferences instead of the client
preferences. When not set, the \s-1SSL\s0 server will always follow the clients
preferences. When set, the \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 server will choose following its
own preferences.
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_CISCO_ANYCONNECT\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_CISCO_ANYCONNECT"
Use Cisco's version identifier of \s-1DTLS_BAD_VER\s0 when establishing a DTLSv1
connection. Only available when using the deprecated \fBDTLSv1_client_method()\fR \s-1API.\s0
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_CLEANSE_PLAINTEXT\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_CLEANSE_PLAINTEXT"
By default \s-1TLS\s0 connections keep a copy of received plaintext
application data in a static buffer until it is overwritten by the
next portion of data. When enabling \s-1SSL_OP_CLEANSE_PLAINTEXT\s0
deciphered application data is cleansed by calling \fBOPENSSL_cleanse\fR\|(3)
after passing data to the application. Data is also cleansed when
releasing the connection (e.g. \fBSSL_free\fR\|(3)).
.Sp
Since OpenSSL only cleanses internal buffers, the application is still
responsible for cleansing all other buffers. Most notably, this
applies to buffers passed to functions like \fBSSL_read\fR\|(3),
\&\fBSSL_peek\fR\|(3) but also like \fBSSL_write\fR\|(3).
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_COOKIE_EXCHANGE\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_COOKIE_EXCHANGE"
Turn on Cookie Exchange as described in \s-1RFC4347\s0 Section 4.2.1. Only affects
\&\s-1DTLS\s0 connections.
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_DISABLE_TLSEXT_CA_NAMES\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_DISABLE_TLSEXT_CA_NAMES"
Disable \s-1TLS\s0 Extension \s-1CA\s0 Names. You may want to disable it for security reasons
or for compatibility with some Windows \s-1TLS\s0 implementations crashing when this
extension is larger than 1024 bytes.
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_ENABLE_KTLS\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_ENABLE_KTLS"
Enable the use of kernel \s-1TLS.\s0 In order to benefit from kernel \s-1TLS\s0 OpenSSL must
have been compiled with support for it, and it must be supported by the
negotiated ciphersuites and extensions. The specific ciphersuites and extensions
that are supported may vary by platform and kernel version.
.Sp
The kernel \s-1TLS\s0 data-path implements the record layer, and the encryption
algorithm. The kernel will utilize the best hardware
available for encryption. Using the kernel data-path should reduce the memory
footprint of OpenSSL because no buffering is required. Also, the throughput
should improve because data copy is avoided when user data is encrypted into
kernel memory instead of the usual encrypt then copy to kernel.
.Sp
Kernel \s-1TLS\s0 might not support all the features of OpenSSL. For instance,
renegotiation, and setting the maximum fragment size is not possible as of
Linux 4.20.
.Sp
Note that with kernel \s-1TLS\s0 enabled some cryptographic operations are performed
by the kernel directly and not via any available OpenSSL Providers. This might
be undesirable if, for example, the application requires all cryptographic
operations to be performed by the \s-1FIPS\s0 provider.
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_ENABLE_MIDDLEBOX_COMPAT\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_ENABLE_MIDDLEBOX_COMPAT"
If set then dummy Change Cipher Spec (\s-1CCS\s0) messages are sent in TLSv1.3. This
has the effect of making TLSv1.3 look more like TLSv1.2 so that middleboxes that
do not understand TLSv1.3 will not drop the connection. Regardless of whether
this option is set or not \s-1CCS\s0 messages received from the peer will always be
ignored in TLSv1.3. This option is set by default. To switch it off use
\&\fBSSL_clear_options()\fR. A future version of OpenSSL may not set this by default.
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF"
Some \s-1TLS\s0 implementations do not send the mandatory close_notify alert on
shutdown. If the application tries to wait for the close_notify alert but the
peer closes the connection without sending it, an error is generated. When this
option is enabled the peer does not need to send the close_notify alert and a
closed connection will be treated as if the close_notify alert was received.
.Sp
You should only enable this option if the protocol running over \s-1TLS\s0
can detect a truncation attack itself, and that the application is checking for
that truncation attack.
.Sp
For more information on shutting down a connection, see \fBSSL_shutdown\fR\|(3).
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT"
Allow legacy insecure renegotiation between OpenSSL and unpatched servers
\&\fBonly\fR. See the \fB\s-1SECURE RENEGOTIATION\s0\fR section for more details.
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_NO_ANTI_REPLAY\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_NO_ANTI_REPLAY"
By default, when a server is configured for early data (i.e., max_early_data > 0),
OpenSSL will switch on replay protection. See \fBSSL_read_early_data\fR\|(3) for a
description of the replay protection feature. Anti-replay measures are required
to comply with the TLSv1.3 specification. Some applications may be able to
mitigate the replay risks in other ways and in such cases the built in OpenSSL
functionality is not required. Those applications can turn this feature off by
setting this option. This is a server-side option only. It is ignored by
clients.
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION"
Do not use compression even if it is supported. This option is set by default.
To switch it off use \fBSSL_clear_options()\fR.
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC"
Normally clients and servers will transparently attempt to negotiate the
\&\s-1RFC7366\s0 Encrypt-then-MAC option on \s-1TLS\s0 and \s-1DTLS\s0 connection.
.Sp
If this option is set, Encrypt-then-MAC is disabled. Clients will not
propose, and servers will not accept the extension.
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_NO_EXTENDED_MASTER_SECRET\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_NO_EXTENDED_MASTER_SECRET"
Normally clients and servers will transparently attempt to negotiate the
\&\s-1RFC7627\s0 Extended Master Secret option on \s-1TLS\s0 and \s-1DTLS\s0 connection.
.Sp
If this option is set, Extended Master Secret is disabled. Clients will
not propose, and servers will not accept the extension.
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_NO_QUERY_MTU\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_NO_QUERY_MTU"
Do not query the \s-1MTU.\s0 Only affects \s-1DTLS\s0 connections.
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION"
Disable all renegotiation in TLSv1.2 and earlier. Do not send HelloRequest
messages, and ignore renegotiation requests via ClientHello.
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION"
When performing renegotiation as a server, always start a new session
(i.e., session resumption requests are only accepted in the initial
handshake). This option is not needed for clients.
.IP "SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3, SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2, SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_3, SSL_OP_NO_DTLSv1, SSL_OP_NO_DTLSv1_2" 4

These options turn off the SSLv3, TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2 or TLSv1.3 protocol
versions with \s-1TLS\s0 or the DTLSv1, DTLSv1.2 versions with \s-1DTLS,\s0
respectively.
As of OpenSSL 1.1.0, these options are deprecated, use
\&\fBSSL_CTX_set_min_proto_version\fR\|(3) and
\&\fBSSL_CTX_set_max_proto_version\fR\|(3) instead.
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_NO_TICKET\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_NO_TICKET"
\&\s-1SSL/TLS\s0 supports two mechanisms for resuming sessions: session ids and stateless
session tickets.
.Sp
When using session ids a copy of the session information is
cached on the server and a unique id is sent to the client. When the client
wishes to resume it provides the unique id so that the server can retrieve the
session information from its cache.
.Sp
When using stateless session tickets the server uses a session ticket encryption
key to encrypt the session information. This encrypted data is sent to the
client as a \*(L"ticket\*(R". When the client wishes to resume it sends the encrypted
data back to the server. The server uses its key to decrypt the data and resume
the session. In this way the server can operate statelessly \- no session
information needs to be cached locally.
.Sp
The TLSv1.3 protocol only supports tickets and does not directly support session
ids. However, OpenSSL allows two modes of ticket operation in TLSv1.3: stateful
and stateless. Stateless tickets work the same way as in TLSv1.2 and below.
Stateful tickets mimic the session id behaviour available in TLSv1.2 and below.
The session information is cached on the server and the session id is wrapped up
in a ticket and sent back to the client. When the client wishes to resume, it
presents a ticket in the same way as for stateless tickets. The server can then
extract the session id from the ticket and retrieve the session information from
its cache.
.Sp
By default OpenSSL will use stateless tickets. The \s-1SSL_OP_NO_TICKET\s0 option will
cause stateless tickets to not be issued. In TLSv1.2 and below this means no
ticket gets sent to the client at all. In TLSv1.3 a stateful ticket will be
sent. This is a server-side option only.
.Sp
In TLSv1.3 it is possible to suppress all tickets (stateful and stateless) from
being sent by calling \fBSSL_CTX_set_num_tickets\fR\|(3) or
\&\fBSSL_set_num_tickets\fR\|(3).
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_PRIORITIZE_CHACHA\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_PRIORITIZE_CHACHA"
When \s-1SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE\s0 is set, temporarily reprioritize
ChaCha20\-Poly1305 ciphers to the top of the server cipher list if a
ChaCha20\-Poly1305 cipher is at the top of the client cipher list. This helps
those clients (e.g. mobile) use ChaCha20\-Poly1305 if that cipher is anywhere
in the server cipher list; but still allows other clients to use \s-1AES\s0 and other
ciphers. Requires \fB\s-1SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE\s0\fR.
.IP "\s-1SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG"
Disable version rollback attack detection.
.Sp
During the client key exchange, the client must send the same information
about acceptable \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 protocol levels as during the first hello. Some
clients violate this rule by adapting to the server's answer. (Example:
the client sends a SSLv2 hello and accepts up to SSLv3.1=TLSv1, the server
only understands up to SSLv3. In this case the client must still use the
same SSLv3.1=TLSv1 announcement. Some clients step down to SSLv3 with respect
to the server's answer and violate the version rollback protection.)

OpenSSL always attempts to use secure renegotiation as

.PP
This attack has far reaching consequences which application writers should be

renegotiation is referred to as \fIunpatched\fR.
.PP
The following sections describe the operations permitted by OpenSSL's secure
renegotiation implementation.
.SS "Patched client and server"
.IX Subsection "Patched client and server"
Connections and renegotiation are always permitted by OpenSSL implementations.
.SS "Unpatched client and patched OpenSSL server"
.IX Subsection "Unpatched client and patched OpenSSL server"
The initial connection succeeds but client renegotiation is denied by the
server with a \fBno_renegotiation\fR warning alert if \s-1TLS\s0 v1.0 is used or a fatal
\&\fBhandshake_failure\fR alert in \s-1SSL\s0 v3.0.
.PP
If the patched OpenSSL server attempts to renegotiate a fatal
\&\fBhandshake_failure\fR alert is sent. This is because the server code may be
unaware of the unpatched nature of the client.
.PP
If the option \fB\s-1SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION\s0\fR is set then
renegotiation \fBalways\fR succeeds.
.SS "Patched OpenSSL client and unpatched server"
.IX Subsection "Patched OpenSSL client and unpatched server"
If the option \fB\s-1SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\s0\fR or
\&\fB\s-1SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION\s0\fR is set then initial connections
and renegotiation between patched OpenSSL clients and unpatched servers
succeeds. If neither option is set then initial connections to unpatched
servers will fail.
.PP
Setting the option \fB\s-1SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\s0\fR has security implications;
clients that are willing to connect to servers that do not implement
\&\s-1RFC 5746\s0 secure renegotiation are subject to attacks such as
\&\s-1CVE\-2009\-3555.\s0
.PP
OpenSSL client applications wishing to ensure they can connect to unpatched
servers should always \fBset\fR \fB\s-1SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\s0\fR
.PP
OpenSSL client applications that want to ensure they can \fBnot\fR connect to
unpatched servers (and thus avoid any security issues) should always \fBclear\fR
\&\fB\s-1SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\s0\fR using \fBSSL_CTX_clear_options()\fR or
\&\fBSSL_clear_options()\fR.
.PP
The difference between the \fB\s-1SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\s0\fR and
\&\fB\s-1SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION\s0\fR options is that
\&\fB\s-1SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\s0\fR enables initial connections and secure
renegotiation between OpenSSL clients and unpatched servers \fBonly\fR, while
\&\fB\s-1SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION\s0\fR allows initial connections
and renegotiation between OpenSSL and unpatched clients or servers.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBSSL_CTX_set_options()\fR and \fBSSL_set_options()\fR return the new options bit-mask
after adding \fBoptions\fR.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_CTX_clear_options()\fR and \fBSSL_clear_options()\fR return the new options bit-mask
after clearing \fBoptions\fR.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_CTX_get_options()\fR and \fBSSL_get_options()\fR return the current bit-mask.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support()\fR returns 1 is the peer supports
secure renegotiation and 0 if it does not.

.SH "HISTORY"
.IX Header "HISTORY"
The attempt to always try to use secure renegotiation was added in
OpenSSL 0.9.8m.
.PP
The \fB\s-1SSL_OP_PRIORITIZE_CHACHA\s0\fR and \fB\s-1SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION\s0\fR options
were added in OpenSSL 1.1.1.
.PP
The \fB\s-1SSL_OP_NO_EXTENDED_MASTER_SECRET\s0\fR and \fB\s-1SSL_OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF\s0\fR
options were added in OpenSSL 3.0.
.PP
The \fB\s-1SSL_OP_\s0\fR constants and the corresponding parameter and return values
of the affected functions were changed to \f(CW\*(C`uint64_t\*(C'\fR type in OpenSSL 3.0.
For that reason it is no longer possible use the \fB\s-1SSL_OP_\s0\fR macro values
in preprocessor \f(CW\*(C`#if\*(C'\fR conditions. However it is still possible to test
whether these macros are defined or not.
