From 49d4861ffc56cb233dacc1abcb2a5ec608e599ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeffrey Cody Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2018 04:08:14 +0100 Subject: curl: Make sslverify=off disable host as well as peer verification. RH-Author: Jeffrey Cody Message-id: <543d2f667af465dd809329fcba5175bc974d58d4.1537933576.git.jcody@redhat.com> Patchwork-id: 82293 O-Subject: [RHEL8/rhel qemu-kvm PATCH 1/1] curl: Make sslverify=off disable host as well as peer verification. Bugzilla: 1575925 RH-Acked-by: Richard Jones RH-Acked-by: John Snow RH-Acked-by: Max Reitz From: "Richard W.M. Jones" The sslverify setting is supposed to turn off all TLS certificate checks in libcurl. However because of the way we use it, it only turns off peer certificate authenticity checks (CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER). This patch makes it also turn off the check that the server name in the certificate is the same as the server you're connecting to (CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST). We can use Google's server at 8.8.8.8 which happens to have a bad TLS certificate to demonstrate this: $ ./qemu-img create -q -f qcow2 -b 'json: { "file.sslverify": "off", "file.driver": "https", "file.url": "https://8.8.8.8/foo" }' /var/tmp/file.qcow2 qemu-img: /var/tmp/file.qcow2: CURL: Error opening file: SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name '8.8.8.8' Could not open backing image to determine size. With this patch applied, qemu-img connects to the server regardless of the bad certificate: $ ./qemu-img create -q -f qcow2 -b 'json: { "file.sslverify": "off", "file.driver": "https", "file.url": "https://8.8.8.8/foo" }' /var/tmp/file.qcow2 qemu-img: /var/tmp/file.qcow2: CURL: Error opening file: The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found (The 404 error is expected because 8.8.8.8 is not actually serving a file called "/foo".) Of course the default (without sslverify=off) remains to always check the certificate: $ ./qemu-img create -q -f qcow2 -b 'json: { "file.driver": "https", "file.url": "https://8.8.8.8/foo" }' /var/tmp/file.qcow2 qemu-img: /var/tmp/file.qcow2: CURL: Error opening file: SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name '8.8.8.8' Could not open backing image to determine size.
