Build Identifier: 

Google has implemented next protocol negotiation support in their fork of NSS. It would be nice to have this merged upstream. I have attached their patch for review.

This is an implementation of http://www.imperialviolet.org/binary/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00.html

This is adam langley's NPN patch for NSS. This patch does not integrate it into necko in any way.

Josh recently asked that spdy reviews at least start with honza so I'm setting that as r? - but as nss is something that we normally coordinate externally with the I understand workflow might be different - feel free to reassign amongst yourselves.

Adam and Wan-Teh, what is going on with NPN vs NP? Are there any servers that support NP at all? Are we OK with potentially having both implemented in NSS, if the IETF decides to standardize NP instead of NPN?

Patrick, changes to NSPR or NSS must always be reviewed by NSS peers and then put into an NSPR and/or NSS release. Then that release gets imported into mozilla-central by a PSM peer using the process described at [1]. We have to do things this way, otherwise we will silently break Firefox when it is build with --use-system-nss. That option is used by many (every?) Linux distro that repackages Firefox, and it is probably an important startup performance optimization in those cases. If this is the same patch as Adam wrote for Chromium, then Wan-Teh probably already reviewed it once. If Wan-Teh is too busy to review it, then I will do so.

Brian: I don't know what you meant by "NP".  The only "NP" I've
heard of is the "P = NP" problem.  Could you clarify?  Thanks.

Wan-Teh, (In reply to Wan-Teh Chang from comment #7)

Wan-Teh, I hope you don't mind me stepping in here: in this case, NP refers to https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-agl-tls-nextproto/ (Next Protocol extension). As Paul Hoffman wrote in May:

NP was an attempt by Paul Hoffman to make NPN more IETF friendly. I don't believe that it has gone anywhere at all. As far as I know, there are no implementations of it.

If the IETF were to standardise an acceptable variant of NPN we would look to transition over to it. That seems extremely unlikely at this point.

This was useful in testing, but should be removed in this patch. A future patch to allow an arbitrary set of protocols to be specified on the command line (like the OpenSSL patch) would be fine.

Any thoughts on the timeline for moving this forward? It's a pre-req to getting spdy in the tree which I'm hoping can happen soon.

The (hopefully nearly final) patch is at http://codereview.chromium.org/8156001/. It's still pending another pass by wtc but should be committed soon.

Hey Brian, 
"Adam Langley's Chromium patch (revision 106232)" doesn't seem to have ssl_getnextproto in the ssl.def.. will I be able to link against that? (I had that problem with the update referenced from comment 14)

The ssl.def will need updating when landing in NSS proper. We tend to put stuff in a CHROMIUM section, when we update it at all.

Normally in NSS, when we supply an output buffer to a function, we define it with three parameters: pointer to the buffer, the size of the buffer, and a pointer to the length of the data written to the buffer. I think we should follow this pattern here.

We should clarify that this callback is called for clients, and not for servers.

Also, we should note that it is a good idea for an application to implement this callback so that it can PR_Write() its initial application data so that it can be included in the same packet as the change_cipher_spec and finished messages. (I need to verify if/how this works.)

The callback cannot return SECWouldBlock.

"where SSL_SetNextProtoNego was called" is more restrictive than what the code does (it works when SSL_SetNextProtoCallback was used too).

Also, we should clarify that this function can be safely used in the HandshakeCallback (which can happen before the handshake is complete if false start is used).

We should document that buf_len should be 255 bytes (right?) to hold the longest possible name. Also, we should return SECFailure when the buffer isn't large enough.

According to Adam's draft, we should only send the NPN extension during the initial handshake, not during renegotiations. But, it doesn't say whether we should send the NextProtocol message during renegotiations. I assume that we are not supposed to but this seems to send the message during all handshakes.

(If my assumption is right, we need to change this and also make the server side fail the connection if it receives a NextProtocol message during a renegotiation, once the server side implements this extension.)

It is a little confusing how some ssl3_Send* functions call ssl3_SendRecord and others just append handshake records to the pending handshake buffer. Perhaps it would be better to call this function ssl3_AppendHandshakeNextProto instead.

Also, we should update the spec to recommend or require that the NextProtocol message be sent in the same packet--the same send()/write() call, at least--as the Finished message to avoid any possibility of BEAST-like attacks.

Adam's draft does not specify anything about the padding. This is similar to the situation with SSL 3.0 not specifying the format of the padding for records in CBC mode, which led to some attacks. It seems like Chromium is sending all zeros, which seems fine to me (though, this is different than the padding scheme used elsewhere in TLS). I suggest we state that it MUST be all zeros for now.

We need to make the server side check that all the padding is all zeros like we do for TLS record padding.

The same things mentioned for the first call to ssl3_SendNextProto apply here as well. In particular, we shouldn't send the extension during a renegotiation.

Should libssl reject embedded nulls in the NPN data? It seems like this would reduce a likely-to-be-common application-level error and wouldn't be overly-restrictive.

In libssl, we don't usually use an assertion for this test. We always do a runtime test and return SECFailure (sometimes in addition to the assertion). I think we should be consistent here (either adding the runtime check here, or agree that they aren't necessary going forward).

Thanks for cleaning that up. As you may have noticed, I never remember PORT_SetError.

However, I think the memchr check for NULs in the protocol strings is a mistake. The protocol strings are supposed to be 8-bit clean and we may end up using that fact.

In the code as checked in, the NPN callback is only called if the server sent the NPN extension. However, it would be useful if the NPN callback were called also in the case that the server did not send the extension too, so that the application can detect as early as possible that the server doesn't support NPN. This way, we could schedule a PR_Write() of the initial application data of the default protocol (HTTP in the HTTP vs SPDY case) as early as possible in the very likely case where the server doesn't support NPN.

Also, should an application be allowed to PR_Write from within the NPN callback?

In Chromium's code neither of these would be useful. We perform a TLS handshake a, by the time that it's finished, we know which protocol was negotiated. However, if it's easier in the Mozilla stack to have the callback called all the time I'm happy to make that change, just let me know.

Normally, when we do a resumption handshake, we include the initial client application data in the same packet as the client change_cipher_spec and Finished messages. If we wait for the handshake to complete, and then write, then we would no longer be sending the initial client application data in the same packet. (Similar considerations apply to the full handshake when false start is enabled.) This is why I am speculating that such changes would be useful. I will look into it more.

Adam, I was wrong about some of those PORT_SetError() calls. ssl_FindSocket already calls PORT_SetError() with the correct (and different than I suggested) error.

Also, I introduced an unused local variable that the compiler warns about in my revisions to your patch.

I have looked into it more. I think that fixing bug 681839 will be sufficient for Mozilla's needs.

is this FIXED now that 698552 is FIXED?

Comment 41

[Brian Smith (:briansmith, :bsmith, use NEEDINFO?)]

Patrick, this will be marked FIXED when the tests are reviewed and checked into NSS CVS. I am waiting for review/feedback from rrelyea and others on the testing framework I made that I'm planning to use to do these tests.

However, mozilla-central does include the NPN implementation, as the implementation is in NSS 3.13.2 BETA 1, which got checked into mozilla-central today. So, you are be good to go.

Comment 42

[Wan-Teh Chang]

NSS 3.13.2 has been released.  Marked the bug fixed so that this bug shows
up in the Bugzilla query for bugs fixed in NSS 3.13.2.

Please open a new bug for the tests.
