- Kore now only supports OpenSSL 1.1.1 and LibreSSL 3.x.
- Revise the default TLS ciphersuites.
- Kore now carries ffdhe4096.pem and installs it under PREFIX/share/kore.
- Kore its tls_dhparam config setting defaults to the path mentioned above
so you no longer have to set it.
- Try harder to mark integers as KORE_JSON_TYPE_INTEGER, especially if
they fit in the internal representation of one (int64_t).
- Move error codes into the JSON code itself, rather then requiring
a kore_json data structure. This allows the JSON API to relay errors
such as "item not found" or "type mismatch" properly when looking at items.
- When asking for a KORE_JSON_TYPE_INTEGER_U64 and a KORE_JSON_TYPE_INTEGER
was found with the same name, check if it could be returned properly and do
so if possible.
- Make sure tls-alpn01 works even if the underlying SSL library ends up
calling the ALPN callback *before* the SNI extension was parsed and
the correct domain was selected.
LibreSSL still does this, and older OpenSSL did too I believe, however
OpenSSL grew a clue and always makes sure SNI is called first.
Yes, TLS extensions have no fixed order but it still makes sense to
notify applications using your library of the SNI extension first
before anything else almost.
Oh well.
Add 2 new types:
KORE_JSON_TYPE_INTEGER
signed integer type, internally stored as s64.
KORE_JSON_TYPE_INTEGER_U64
unsigned integer type, internally stored as u64.
Kore JSON parser will prefer marking integers as INTEGER_U64 if it
was unsigned and did not have fractions.
This handles the default option parsing in Kore and should be called
by single_binary=yes builds in kore_parent_configure() unless they
want to handle their own argument parsing.
- Remove the edge trigger io hacks we had in place.
- Use level triggered io for the libcurl fds instead.
- Batch all curl events together and process them at the end
of our worker event loop.
Inside the domain contexts a 'redirect' rule will allow you to redirect
a request to another URI.
Ex:
Redirect all requests with a 301 to example.com
redirect ^/.*$ 301 https://example.com
Using capture groups
redirect ^/account/(.*)$ 301 https://example.com/account/$1
Adding the query string in the mix
redirect ^/(.*)$ 301 https://example.com/$1?$qs
These changes improve the constraint kore had with client authentication and
multiple domains.
- Add kore_x509_subject_name() which will return a C string containing
the x509 subject name in full (in utf8).
- Log TLS errors if client authentication was turned on, will help debug
issues with client authentication in the future.
- If SNI was present in the TLS handshake, check it against the host specified
in the HTTP request and send a 421 in case they mismatch.
- Throw a 403 if client authentication was enabled but no client certificate
was specified.
A new acme process is created that communicates with the acme servers.
This process does not hold any of your private keys (no account keys,
no domain keys etc).
Whenever the acme process requires a signed payload it will ask the keymgr
process to do the signing with the relevant keys.
This process is also sandboxed with pledge+unveil on OpenBSD and seccomp
syscall filtering on Linux.
The implementation only supports the tls-alpn-01 challenge. This means that
you do not need to open additional ports on your machine.
http-01 and dns-01 are currently not supported (no wildcard support).
A new configuration option "acme_provider" is available and can be set
to the acme server its directory. By default this will point to the
live letsencrypt environment:
https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
The acme process can be controlled via the following config options:
- acme_root (where the acme process will chroot/chdir into).
- acme_runas (the user the acme process will run as).
If none are set, the values from 'root' and 'runas' are taken.
If you want to turn on acme for domains you do it as follows:
domain kore.io {
acme yes
}
You do not need to specify certkey/certfile anymore, if they are present
still
they will be overwritten by the acme system.
The keymgr will store all certificates and keys under its root
(keymgr_root), the account key is stored as "/account-key.pem" and all
obtained certificates go under "certificates/<domain>/fullchain.pem" while
keys go under "certificates/<domain>/key.pem".
Kore will automatically renew certificates if they will expire in 7 days
or less.
If set to "yes" then Kore will trace its child processes and properly
notify you of seccomp violations while still allowing the syscalls.
This can be very useful when running Kore on new platforms that have
not been properly tested with seccomp, allowing me to adjust the default
policies as we move further.
Now everything that has the "newer" OpenSSL API (1.1.x) is hidden
behind a KORE_OPENSSL_NEWER_API define. Tone down minimum libressl
version again to 2.7.5.
Allow JSON to be constructed via kore_json_create_item and its
handy macro family:
- kore_json_create_object()
- kore_json_create_array()
- kore_json_create_string()
- kore_json_create_number()
- kore_json_create_literal().
Adds kore_json_item_tobuf() to convert a JSON item into a string
representation in a kore_buf data structure.
Renames the kore_json_get* family to kore_json_find* instead.
Allows for quite clean code:
struct kore_buf buf;
struct kore_json_item *root;
root = kore_json_create_object(NULL, NULL);
kore_json_create_string(root, "hello", "world");
kore_json_create_number(root, "value", 2.241);
kore_buf_init(&buf, 128);
kore_json_item_tobuf(root, &buf);
kore_json_item_free(root);
kore_buf_cleanup(&buf);
Mostly compliant, ignores \uXXXX in strings for now.
New API functions:
void kore_json_init(struct kore_json *json, const u_int8_t *data, size_t len);
- Prepares JSON data for parsing.
int kore_json_parse(struct kore_json *json)
- Parses the JSON data prepared via kore_json_init. Returns KORE_RESULT_ERROR
if parsing failed or KORE_RESULT_OK if it succeeded.
struct kore_json_item *kore_json_get(struct kore_json *json, const char *path,
int type);
- Try to find the object matching a given search patch and type.
eg, given a JSON structure of:
{
"reasons": {
"strings": [
"first reason",
"second"
]
}
}
one can obtain the second element in the reasons.strings array via:
item = kore_json_get(json, "reasons/strings[0]", KORE_JSON_TYPE_STRING);
Returns NULL if the item was not found or a type mismatch was hit,
otherwise will return the item of that type.
The kore_json_item data structure has a data member that contains the
relevant bits depending on the type:
KORE_JSON_TYPE_ARRAY, KORE_JSON_TYPE_OBJECT:
the data.items member is valid.
KORE_JSON_TYPE_STRING:
the data.string member is valid.
KORE_JSON_TYPE_NUMBER:
the data.number member is valid.
KORE_JSON_TYPE_LITERAL:
the data.literal member is valid.
void kore_json_cleanup(struct kore_json *json);
- Cleanup any resources
const char *kore_json_strerror(struct kore_json *json);
- Return pointer to human readable error string.
This allows you to send Python objects that can be run through pickle
to other worker processes.
If your application implements koreapp.onmsg() you will be able to receive
these objects.
Before kore needed to be built with NOTLS=1 to be able to do non TLS
connections. This has been like this for years.
It is time to allow non TLS listeners without having to rebuild Kore.
This commit changes your configuration format and will break existing
applications their config.
Configurations now get listener {} contexts:
listen default {
bind 127.0.0.1 8888
}
The above will create a listener on 127.0.0.1, port 8888 that will serve
TLS (still the default).
If you want to turn off TLS on that listener, specify "tls no" in that
context.
Domains now need to be attached to a listener:
Eg:
domain * {
attach default
}
For the Python API this kills kore.bind(), and kore.bind_unix(). They are
replaced with:
kore.listen("name", ip=None, port=None, path=None, tls=True).
- Kore can now fully be configured via Python code if one wants nothing to
do with configuration files.
- Kore can now start single python files and no longer requires them to be
inside a module directory.
- Pass all regex capture groups to the handler methods, allowing you to
get access to them immediately.
- Change python websocket_handshake to take callable objects directly.
- Added a new deployment configuration option. If set to "dev" or
"development" Kore will automatically foreground, no chroot / etc.
If set to "production" Kore *will* chroot, drop privs, etc.
- Many more..
These are all backported from a project that I was working on a while
ago. I decided these should go back into mainline Kore.
With this commit all Kore processes (minus the parent) are running
under seccomp.
The worker processes get the bare minimum allowed syscalls while each module
like curl, pgsql, etc will add their own filters to allow what they require.
New API functions:
int kore_seccomp_filter(const char *name, void *filter, size_t len);
Adds a filter into the seccomp system (must be called before
seccomp is enabled).
New helpful macro:
define KORE_SYSCALL_ALLOW(name)
Allow the syscall with a given name, should be used in
a sock_filter data structure.
New hooks:
void kore_seccomp_hook(void);
Called before seccomp is enabled, allows developers to add their
own BPF filters into seccomp.
if an iterator is passed kore will send the response with
transfer-encoding: chunked and call the iterator for every
chunk that was sent.
The iterator must return a utf-8 string.
Works wonderful with TemplateStream from jinja2.
This commit adds the CURL=1 build option. When enabled allows
you to schedule CURL easy handles onto the Kore event loop.
It also adds an easy to use HTTP client API that abstracts away the
settings required from libcurl to make HTTP requests.
Tied together with HTTP request state machines this means you can
write fully asynchronous HTTP client requests in an easy way.
Additionally this exposes that API to the Python code as well
allowing you do to things like:
client = kore.httpclient("https://kore.io")
status, body = await client.get()
Introduces 2 configuration options:
- curl_recv_max
Max incoming bytes for a response.
- curl_timeout
Timeout in seconds before a transfer is cancelled.
This API also allows you to take the CURL easy handle and send emails
with it, run FTP, etc. All asynchronously.
By default kore will restart worker processes if they terminate
unexpected. However in certain scenarios you may want to bring down
an entire kore instance if a worker process fails.
By setting worker_death_policy to "terminate" the Kore server will
completely stop if a worker exits unexpected.
this change also stops python coroutines from waking up very
late after their timeout has expired.
in filerefs, don't prime the timer until we actually have something
to expire, and kill the timer when the last ref drops.
With these changes CRLs can be reloaded like certificates
by sending a SIGUSR1 to the parent process.
Track mtime on both certificate files and CRL files as well
and only submit them to the workers if this has changed.
Move away from the parent constantly hitting the disk for every
accesslog the workers are sending.
The workers will now write their own accesslogs to shared
memory before the parent will pick those up. The parent
will flush them to disk once every second or if they grow
larger then 1MB.
This removes the heavy penalty for having access logs
turned on when you are dealing with a large volume
of requests.
Before we just doubled in size the second we exhausted a pool instead
of doing a more controlled expansion.
Now we will expand at 25% of the initial elm count whenever we need to.
Will help with memory pressure in certain scenarios.
This commit removes TLS 1.0 support no matter what OpenSSL
you are linking against.
Changes the value of tls_version from 1.2 to both. Meaning if
you link with OpenSSL 1.1.1 you will get 1.2 + 1.3.
