Configure Options to secure SQuiD SSL connections (SQuiD 3.x)

Reiner030 · Jun 9, 2013, 6:06 PM

Hi,

if you test your reverse SQuiD proxy instance with https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html you'll find out that it's insecure:

So I tried in "Proxy server: General settings", "General", Box "Custom Options" following lines as found e.g. in:
http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/Squid-3-1-9-SSL-Reverse-PROXY-Insecure-Renegotiation-Supported-tp3043176p3043252.html :

# SSL Options to 
sslproxy_options NO_SSLv2
sslproxy_cipher ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:!LOW:!EXP:!ADH:!RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:!SSLv2

But it won't work. Is there compile support needed or what can be done here? Should be a global problem/whish ;)

Hi,

seems that the sslproxy* options are only usable for CONNECT sessions.

I tested it first with adding to my additional https_port line and then created following patch which works nice:

Would nice if you /package mantainer can add it. Perhaps with additonal selectable options per GUI so people can deactivate it if they need it for older browswers?

For SQuiD3 package on 2.0.3 I get now following testresult:

Test duration 40.310 seconds
HTTP status code 200
HTTP server signature Apache
Server hostname <hidden server="" name="">PCI compliant No
FIPS-ready No

so BEAST attack problem and PCI compliance would be still open (and optionally FIPS-ready support and OCSP stapling)…

For PCI compliance I found this patch:
http://www.sw-servers.net/how-to-pass-pci-tests-with-squid/

For OCSP stapling it seems still in testing phase:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/SslServerCertValidator

and FIPS need OpenSSL support / seems not sooo important...

Ah and I guess that TLS_v1.1 and TLS_v1.2 are supported in newer SQuiD versions, too?

A month ago I posted about a related issue regarding pfSense's webGUI, but didn't get any response:

webGUI webserver will not protect a client from the BEAST attack

Also see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=857051

marcelloc · Jul 3, 2013, 1:52 PM

I'll try to update the gui this week or when time permits ;)

stegfeld · Apr 16, 2014, 10:41 AM

hey there,

just added the two lines

$conf .= "https_port {$real_ifaces[$i][0]}:{$https_port} accel cert={$reverse_crt} key={$reverse_key} cipher=RC4-SHA:HIGH:!ADH options=NO_SSLv2,NO_SSLv3,SINGLE_DH_USE defaultsite={$https_defsite} vhost\n";

and

$conf .= "https_port {$reip}:{$https_port} accel cert={$reverse_crt} key={$reverse_key} cipher=RC4-SHA:HIGH:!ADH options=NO_SSLv2,NO_SSLv3,SINGLE_DH_USE defaultsite={$https_defsite} vhost\n";

and restarted squid, but ssllabs ssltest tells me

This server supports SSL 2, which is obsolete and insecure. Grade set to F.

any ideas??

AnthonyVDH · May 8, 2014, 6:38 AM

Thanks Reiner030, that improved my rating on ssllabs too. Were you able to get TLS 1.1 and 1.2 working with a reverse proxy package?

stegbth · May 12, 2015, 11:18 AM

Hi,

i upgraded (better reinstalled an restored backup) to 2.2.2.
This point still exists for package Squid3 (0.28).

I added

cipher=HIGH:!ADH options=NO_SSLv2,NO_SSLv3,SINGLE_DH_USE

And a new Sha256 certificate, but the reverseproxy still does not support FS

any ideas

Hi Thomas,

If you want FS on pfSense 64-Bit 2.2.2 with Squid3 v0.2.8 do this:

Login into pfsense secure shell
type:


cd /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/local/etc/squid
openssl dhparam -out dhparams.pem 2048

To create the DH pool

In the Webinterface go to Services –> Reverse Proxy
In "Reverse HTTPS default site" give:

www.example.com options=NO_SSLv2,NO_SSLv3,CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE cipher=ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:AES256-GCM-SHA384:AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES256-SHA256:AES128-SHA256:AES256-SHA:AES128-SHA:DES-CBC3-SHA:HIGH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!MD5:!PSK:!RC4 dhparams=/usr/pbi/squid-amd64/local/etc/squid/dhparams.pem sslflags=NO_SESSION_REUSE

Or if you don't need older browsers to be able to access your site:

www.example.com options=NO_SSLv2,NO_SSLv3,CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE cipher=AES128-EECDH:AES128-EDH dhparams=/usr/pbi/squid-amd64/local/etc/squid/dhparams.pem sslflags=NO_SESSION_REUSE

Of course replace "www.example.com" with your main domainname/certificate

Thanks to https://www.cipherli.st

I know Squid3 v0.2.8 cannot use EECDHE. A patch has already been posted at the Squid forum.

Not working. Qualys says: The server does not support Forward Secrecy with the reference browsers.
