TLS 1.3 session resumption works without master key, allowing MITM

栏目: IT技术 · 发布时间: 5年前

GnuTLS servers are able to use tickets issued by each other without access to the secret key as generated by gnutls_session_ticket_key_generate() . This allows a MITM server without valid credentials to resume sessions with a client that first established an initial connection with a server with valid credentials. The issue applies to TLS 1.3, when using TLS 1.2 resumption fails as expected.

Because the ticket can be used for resumption without knowledge of the master key I assume (but haven't tested yet) that it can also be used for passive decryption of early data.

I first noticed the issue with Ubuntu version 3.6.13-2ubuntu1, and reproduced it with a build from master as of52e78f1e.

Steps to Reproduce

gnutls-serv --x509keyfile=authority/server/secret.key --x509certfile=authority/server/x509.pem
openssl s_client -connect localhost:5556 -CAfile authority/x509.pem -verify_return_error -sess_out session.cache
gnutls-serv --x509keyfile=rogueca/mitm/secret.key --x509certfile=rogueca/mitm/x509.pem
openssl s_client -connect localhost:5556 -CAfile authority/x509.pem -verify_return_error -sess_in session.cache

I've used openssl s_client to reproduce the problem because gnutls-cli lacks a way to store resumption data across invocations, but the effect is also reproducible with applications using GnuTLS that cache session data long enough to change the server. I noticed the issue while implementing session resumption for proxy connections in mod_gnutls.

The certificates are just ones out of my test PKI, I can post them if it helps. What matters is that the server from step 1 has a certificate issued by a CA the client trusts, while the server from step 4 has one issued by a CA unknown to the client.

Actual results

The bogus server is able to resume the session, the client does not detect the attack.

Expected results

Session resumption should fail, leading to a full handshake, which must fail unless the second server has valid credentials. A successful full handshake would be the expected result if the server would be restarted with the same certificate instead of a bogus one.
