- .SH NOTES
- .IX Header "NOTES"
- The behaviour of the SSL 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 SSL library. The (internal) behaviour of
- the API 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 SSL object are used. When
- a new SSL 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
- SSL objects. \fBSSL_clear()\fR does not affect the settings.
- .PP
- The following \fBbug workaround\fR options are available:
- .IP SSL_OP_CRYPTOPRO_TLSEXT_BUG 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_CRYPTOPRO_TLSEXT_BUG"
- Add server-hello extension from the early version of cryptopro draft
- when GOST ciphersuite is negotiated. Required for interoperability with CryptoPro
- CSP 3.x.
- .IP SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS"
- Disables a countermeasure against a SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
- vulnerability affecting CBC ciphers, which cannot be handled by some
- broken SSL implementations. This option has no effect for connections
- using other ciphers.
- .IP SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG"
- Don't prefer ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be Safari on OS X.
- OS X 10.8..10.8.3 has broken support for ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers.
- .IP SSL_OP_TLSEXT_PADDING 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 SSL_OP_ALL 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_ALL"
- All of the above bug workarounds.
- .PP
- It is usually safe to use \fBSSL_OP_ALL\fR to enable the bug workaround
- options if compatibility with somewhat broken implementations is
- desired.
- .PP
- The following \fBmodifying\fR options are available:
- .IP SSL_OP_ALLOW_CLIENT_RENEGOTIATION 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_ALLOW_CLIENT_RENEGOTIATION"
- Client-initiated renegotiation is disabled by default. Use
- this option to enable it.
- .IP SSL_OP_ALLOW_NO_DHE_KEX 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 SSL_OP_PREFER_NO_DHE_KEX 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_PREFER_NO_DHE_KEX"
- In TLSv1.3, on resumption let the server prefer a non\-(ec)dhe based key
- exchange mode over an (ec)dhe based one. Ignored without \fBSSL_OP_ALLOW_NO_DHE_KEX\fR
- being set as well. Always ignored on the client.
- .IP SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION"
- Allow legacy insecure renegotiation between OpenSSL and unpatched clients or
- servers. See the \fBSECURE RENEGOTIATION\fR section for more details.
- .IP SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE 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 SSL server will always follow the clients
- preferences. When set, the SSL/TLS server will choose following its
- own preferences.
- .IP SSL_OP_CISCO_ANYCONNECT 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_CISCO_ANYCONNECT"
- Use Cisco's version identifier of DTLS_BAD_VER when establishing a DTLSv1
- connection. Only available when using the deprecated \fBDTLSv1_client_method()\fR API.
- .IP SSL_OP_CLEANSE_PLAINTEXT 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_CLEANSE_PLAINTEXT"
- By default TLS and QUIC SSL objects keep a copy of received plaintext
- application data in a static buffer until it is overwritten by the
- next portion of data. When enabling SSL_OP_CLEANSE_PLAINTEXT
- 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).
- .Sp
- TLS connections do not buffer data to be sent in plaintext. QUIC stream
- objects do buffer plaintext data to be sent and this option will also cause
- that data to be cleansed when it is discarded.
- .Sp
- This option can be set differently on individual QUIC stream objects and
- has no effect on QUIC connection objects (except where a default stream is
- being used).
- .IP SSL_OP_COOKIE_EXCHANGE 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_COOKIE_EXCHANGE"
- Turn on Cookie Exchange as described in RFC4347 Section 4.2.1. Only affects
- DTLS connections.
- .IP SSL_OP_DISABLE_TLSEXT_CA_NAMES 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_DISABLE_TLSEXT_CA_NAMES"
- Disable TLS Extension CA Names. You may want to disable it for security reasons
- or for compatibility with some Windows TLS implementations crashing when this
- extension is larger than 1024 bytes.
- .IP SSL_OP_ENABLE_KTLS 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_ENABLE_KTLS"
- Enable the use of kernel TLS. In order to benefit from kernel TLS 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 TLS 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 TLS 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 TLS 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 FIPS provider.
- .IP SSL_OP_ENABLE_KTLS_TX_ZEROCOPY_SENDFILE 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_ENABLE_KTLS_TX_ZEROCOPY_SENDFILE"
- With this option, \fBsendfile()\fR will use the zerocopy mode, which gives a
- performance boost when used with KTLS hardware offload. Note that invalid TLS
- records might be transmitted if the file is changed while being sent. This
- option has no effect if \fBSSL_OP_ENABLE_KTLS\fR is not enabled.
- .Sp
- This option only applies to Linux. KTLS sendfile on FreeBSD doesn't offer an
- option to disable zerocopy and always runs in this mode.
- .IP SSL_OP_ENABLE_MIDDLEBOX_COMPAT 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_ENABLE_MIDDLEBOX_COMPAT"
- If set then dummy Change Cipher Spec (CCS) 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 CCS 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 SSL_OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF"
- Some TLS 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 TLS
- 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 SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT"
- Allow legacy insecure renegotiation between OpenSSL and unpatched servers
- \&\fBonly\fR. See the \fBSECURE RENEGOTIATION\fR section for more details.
- .IP SSL_OP_NO_ANTI_REPLAY 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 SSL_OP_NO_TX_CERTIFICATE_COMPRESSION 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_NO_TX_CERTIFICATE_COMPRESSION"
- Normally clients and servers will transparently attempt to negotiate the
- RFC8879 certificate compression option on TLSv1.3 connections.
- .Sp
- If this option is set, the certificate compression extension is ignored
- upon receipt and compressed certificates will not be sent to the peer.
- .IP SSL_OP_NO_RX_CERTIFICATE_COMPRESSION 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_NO_RX_CERTIFICATE_COMPRESSION"
- Normally clients and servers will transparently attempt to negotiate the
- RFC8879 certificate compression option on TLSv1.3 connections.
- .Sp
- If this option is set, the certificate compression extension will not be sent
- and compressed certificates will not be accepted from the peer.
- .IP SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION"
- Do not use TLS record compression even if it is supported. This option is set by
- default. To switch it off use \fBSSL_clear_options()\fR. Note that TLS record
- compression is not recommended and is not available at security level 2 or
- above. From OpenSSL 3.2 the default security level is 2, so clearing this option
- will have no effect without also changing the default security level. See
- \&\fBSSL_CTX_set_security_level\fR\|(3).
- .IP SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC"
- Normally clients and servers will transparently attempt to negotiate the
- RFC7366 Encrypt-then-MAC option on TLS and DTLS connection.
- .Sp
- If this option is set, Encrypt-then-MAC is disabled. Clients will not
- propose, and servers will not accept the extension.
- .IP SSL_OP_NO_EXTENDED_MASTER_SECRET 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_NO_EXTENDED_MASTER_SECRET"
- Normally clients and servers will transparently attempt to negotiate the
- RFC7627 Extended Master Secret option on TLS and DTLS connection.
- .Sp
- If this option is set, Extended Master Secret is disabled. Clients will
- not propose, and servers will not accept the extension.
- .IP SSL_OP_NO_QUERY_MTU 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_NO_QUERY_MTU"
- Do not query the MTU. Only affects DTLS connections.
- .IP SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION 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 SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION 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
- .IX Item "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"
- These options turn off the SSLv3, TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2 or TLSv1.3 protocol
- versions with TLS or the DTLSv1, DTLSv1.2 versions with DTLS,
- 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 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_NO_TICKET"
- SSL/TLS 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 "ticket". 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 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET 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 SSL_OP_PRIORITIZE_CHACHA 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_PRIORITIZE_CHACHA"
- When SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE 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 AES and other
- ciphers. Requires \fBSSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE\fR.
- .IP SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG 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 SSL/TLS 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.)

- .SH "SECURE RENEGOTIATION"
- .IX Header "SECURE RENEGOTIATION"
- OpenSSL always attempts to use secure renegotiation as
- described in RFC5746. This counters the prefix attack described in
- CVE\-2009\-3555 and elsewhere.
- .PP
- This attack has far reaching consequences which application writers should be
- aware of. In the description below an implementation supporting secure
- renegotiation is referred to as \fIpatched\fR. A server not supporting secure
- 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 TLS v1.0 is used or a fatal
- \&\fBhandshake_failure\fR alert in SSL 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 \fBSSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION\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 \fBSSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\fR or
- \&\fBSSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION\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 \fBSSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\fR has security implications;
- clients that are willing to connect to servers that do not implement
- RFC 5746 secure renegotiation are subject to attacks such as
- CVE\-2009\-3555.
- .PP
- OpenSSL client applications wishing to ensure they can connect to unpatched
- servers should always \fBset\fR \fBSSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\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
- \&\fBSSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\fR using \fBSSL_CTX_clear_options()\fR or
- \&\fBSSL_clear_options()\fR.
- .PP
- The difference between the \fBSSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\fR and
- \&\fBSSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION\fR options is that
- \&\fBSSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\fR enables initial connections and secure
- renegotiation between OpenSSL clients and unpatched servers \fBonly\fR, while
- \&\fBSSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION\fR allows initial connections
- and renegotiation between OpenSSL and unpatched clients or servers.
- .SS "Applicability of options to QUIC connections and streams"
- .IX Subsection "Applicability of options to QUIC connections and streams"
- These options apply to SSL objects referencing a QUIC connection:
- .IP SSL_OP_ALLOW_NO_DHE_KEX 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_ALLOW_NO_DHE_KEX"
- .PD 0
- .IP SSL_OP_NO_TX_CERTIFICATE_COMPRESSION 4

- .IX Item "SSL_OP_NO_TICKET"
- .IP SSL_OP_PRIORITIZE_CHACHA 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_PRIORITIZE_CHACHA"
- .PD
- .PP
- These options apply to SSL objects referencing a QUIC stream:
- .IP SSL_OP_CLEANSE_PLAINTEXT 4
- .IX Item "SSL_OP_CLEANSE_PLAINTEXT"
- .PP
- Options on QUIC connections are initialized from the options set on SSL_CTX
- before a QUIC connection SSL object is created. Options on QUIC streams are
- initialised from the options configured on the QUIC connection SSL object
- they are created from.
- .PP
- Setting options which relate to QUIC streams on a QUIC connection SSL object has
- no direct effect on the QUIC connection SSL object itself, but will change the
- options set on the default stream (if there is one) and will also determine the
- default options set on any future streams which are created.
- .PP
- Other options not mentioned above do not have an effect and will be ignored.
- .PP
- Options which relate to QUIC streams may also be set directly on QUIC stream SSL
- objects. Setting connection-related options on such an object has no effect.
- .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 \fBSSL_OP_PRIORITIZE_CHACHA\fR and \fBSSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION\fR options
- were added in OpenSSL 1.1.1.
- .PP
- The \fBSSL_OP_NO_EXTENDED_MASTER_SECRET\fR and \fBSSL_OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF\fR
- options were added in OpenSSL 3.0.
- .PP
- The \fBSSL_OP_\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 \fBSSL_OP_\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.
