[ruby-core:59948] [ruby-trunk - Bug #9424] ruby 1.9 & 2.x has insecure SSL/TLS client defaults

Those people are damned regardless. For anyone who does upgrade their version of Ruby, at the very least, this will protect them from OpenSSL's known / past insecure defaults.  That is the pragmatic (correct) approach.  OpenSSL 0.9.8 is the default on OS X and many still-supported Linux distros.

I'd strongly be in favor of a backport to 1.9.3 as well.  Thank you.

----------------------------------------
Bug #9424: ruby 1.9 & 2.x has insecure SSL/TLS client defaults 
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9424#change-44485

* Author: Jeff Hodges
* Status: Assigned
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: Martin Bosslet
* Category: ext/openssl
* Target version: current: 2.2.0
* ruby -v: ruby 2.1.0p0 (2013-12-25 revision 44422) [x86_64-darwin12]
* Backport: 1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
Ruby 1.9, 2.0, and 2.1 use insecure defaults for SSL/TLS client connections. They have inherited or overridden configs that make the OpenSSL-controlled connections insecure. Note: both OpenSSL's and Ruby's defaults in all tested versions are currently insecure. Confirmation of the issues with Ruby's TLS client can be done with the code in [1].

Ruby is using TLS compression by default. This opens Ruby clients to the CRIME attack[2].

Ruby also uses a variety of insecure cipher suites. These cipher suites either use key sizes much smaller than the currently recommended size, making brute forcing a decryption easy, or do not check the veracity of the server's certificate making them susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks[3][4].

Ruby also appears to allow SSLv2 connections by default. It does so by first trying to connect with a SSLv2 client hello with a higher SSL/TLS version inside of it which allows SSLv2 servers to work. SSLv2 was broken in the 1990s and is considered unsafe.

These issues expose Ruby users to attacks that have been known for many years, and are trivial to discover. These defaults are often build specific, and are not the same across platforms, but are consistently poor (the code in [1] can evaluate the build). A patch from a core developer on the security@ list is attached. However, the patch does not correct the suspect SSLv2 configuration. It is believed that Ruby 1.8 is also a concern, but, since it was obsoleted, it's not been investigated.

A report similar to this was sent to [email protected] four days ago. The Ruby core developers have been unable to patch these problems in a timely manner for it for what I and others believe are concerning reasons. This ticket is being made to allow engineers outside of the small group that are on security@ to protect themselves from these attacks.
