openssl 1.1.1 update or manual build in XCP 8.2.1 possible ?
-
Dear XCP team,
is it possible to update or manual build openssl 1.1.1 in 8.2.1 ?
- Would it be safe to run yum remove openssl as the first step or would this break the XCP installation:

Hi,
Can you explain what is the functional need first?
-
Check out the pending updates that were released earlier today.

Hi Oliver,
the issue is when using curl and wget which both uses openssl (OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips 26 Jan 2017), in bash scripts some servers are not allowing communication with TLS lower/equal than tls1_2 and the following error is thrown:
openssl s_client -connect ssl-tools.net:443 CONNECTED(00000003) 139843806320528:error:14077438:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert internal error:s23_clnt.c:769 Secure Renegotiation IS NOT supportedWe tested the same call from another linux machine using "OpenSSL 1.1.1t-freebsd 7 Feb 2023" and it worked fine:

Danp can you please do a quick test on you machine if this will work, after applying the pending updates:

olivierlambert so you get the same error even after applying the pending updates ?
-
I don't know I just made the update and executed the command, up to you to tell me what are you expecting from it

olivierlambert this error line from your call shows that the updates are not fixing the issue

As per TLS 1.3: The new ciphersuites are defined differently and do not specify the certificate type (e.g. RSA, DSA, ECDSA) or the key exchange mechanism (e.g. DHE or ECDHE). This has implications for ciphersuite configuration, that looks like the root problem if servers enforce this then openssl 1.0.2 will fail to establish a connection at all.
The next option would be to manually build openssl 1.1.1 in XCP 8.2.1 itself, olivierlambert could you please test if this steps will work and not break an existing XCP installation ?

The second option. And actually it's not openssl you're looking for, it's openssl-libs, and removing it will not even work, as it attempts to remove
yumandsystemdwhich depend on it and are protected.Note that we do offer openssl 1.1.1 through the xs-openssl-libs package, and that is what XAPI uses for communication instead of the system one. However you'd have to patch and rebuild curl or wget so that they use it, and this definitely voids your warranty.
You are going on a journey that is far more difficult than you initially expected, I fear. So I'd start questioning the initial needs again.
- Why do you need to contact websites such as ssl-tools.net from dom0?
- Can't you do it from a VM?
