From: Pierre Ossman Date: Thu, 21 May 2020 19:10:38 +0000 (+0200) Subject: Properly store certificate exceptions X-Git-Tag: v1.11.90~104^2~1 X-Git-Url: https://source.dussan.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b30f10c681ec87720cff85d490f67098568a9cba;p=tigervnc.git Properly store certificate exceptions The previous method stored the certificates as authorities, meaning that the owner of that certificate could impersonate any server it wanted after a client had added an exception. Handle this more properly by only storing exceptions for specific hostname/certificate combinations, the same way browsers or SSH does things. --- diff --git a/common/rfb/CSecurityTLS.cxx b/common/rfb/CSecurityTLS.cxx index 5c303a37..99008378 100644 --- a/common/rfb/CSecurityTLS.cxx +++ b/common/rfb/CSecurityTLS.cxx @@ -250,22 +250,6 @@ void CSecurityTLS::setParam() if (*cafile && gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust_file(cert_cred,cafile,GNUTLS_X509_FMT_PEM) < 0) throw AuthFailureException("load of CA cert failed"); - /* Load previously saved certs */ - char *homeDir = NULL; - int err; - if (getvnchomedir(&homeDir) == -1) - vlog.error("Could not obtain VNC home directory path"); - else { - CharArray caSave(strlen(homeDir) + 19 + 1); - sprintf(caSave.buf, "%sx509_savedcerts.pem", homeDir); - delete [] homeDir; - - err = gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust_file(cert_cred, caSave.buf, - GNUTLS_X509_FMT_PEM); - if (err < 0) - vlog.debug("Failed to load saved server certificates from %s", caSave.buf); - } - if (*crlfile && gnutls_certificate_set_x509_crl_file(cert_cred,crlfile,GNUTLS_X509_FMT_PEM) < 0) throw AuthFailureException("load of CRL failed"); @@ -290,7 +274,10 @@ void CSecurityTLS::checkSession() const gnutls_datum_t *cert_list; unsigned int cert_list_size = 0; int err; + + char *homeDir; gnutls_datum_t info; + size_t len; if (anon) return; @@ -333,13 +320,13 @@ void CSecurityTLS::checkSession() throw AuthFailureException("decoding of certificate failed"); if (gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname(crt, client->getServerName()) == 0) { - char buf[255]; + CharArray text; vlog.debug("hostname mismatch"); - snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "Hostname (%s) does not match any certificate, " - "do you want to continue?", client->getServerName()); - buf[sizeof(buf) - 1] = '\0'; - if (!msg->showMsgBox(UserMsgBox::M_YESNO, "hostname mismatch", buf)) - throw AuthFailureException("hostname mismatch"); + text.format("Hostname (%s) does not match the server certificate, " + "do you want to continue?", client->getServerName()); + if (!msg->showMsgBox(UserMsgBox::M_YESNO, + "Certificate hostname mismatch", text.buf)) + throw AuthFailureException("Certificate hostname mismatch"); } if (status == 0) { @@ -364,86 +351,82 @@ void CSecurityTLS::checkSession() throw AuthFailureException("Invalid status of server certificate verification"); } - vlog.debug("Saved server certificates don't match"); + /* Certificate is fine, except we don't know the issuer, so TOFU time */ - if (gnutls_x509_crt_print(crt, GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_ONELINE, &info)) { - /* - * GNUTLS doesn't correctly export gnutls_free symbol which is - * a function pointer.
