Error 35 when running curl with --tlsv1.2 option (Curl version 7.62.0) #3261

I did this

Run curl from command line with --tlsv1.2 option.
curl "https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/new" --tlsv1.2

results in error 35:
curl: (35) SSL version range is not valid.

I expected the following

I expected the same result as running curl on the same url without "--tlsv1.2" option, which means:

other info

This doesn't apply to curl version 7.61.0. Downgrading curl to 7.61 recovers functionality.

Odd, I don't see any obvious changes since release but testing this on todays HEAD seems to work.

I think NSS/3.36 is a clue. We need to double-check with the NSS backend...

This is still broken in the current nightly build:

$ curl "https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/new" --tlsv1.2
curl: (35) SSL version range is not valid.
$ curl --version
curl 7.63.0-20181130 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.63.0-20181130 NSS/3.36 zlib/1.2.7 libpsl/0.7.0 (+libicu/50.1.2) libssh2/1.8.0 nghttp2/1.31.1

Anything I can try to debug this?

As a comparison, here's my local NSS build:

curl 7.63.0-DEV (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.63.0-DEV NSS/3.39 zlib/1.2.11 brotli/1.0.7 c-ares/1.14.0 libidn2/2.0.5 libpsl/0.20.2 (+libidn2/2.0.5) nghttp2/1.34.0 librtmp/2.3

$ curl "https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/new" --tlsv1.2

Anything I can try to debug this?

Probably by single-stepping through lib/vtls/nss.c:nss_setup_connect() and see where things go wrong. The calls to nss_init_sslver() and SSL_VersionRangeSet() are the prime suspects.

It's failing in SSL_VersionRangeSet():

(gdb) print sslver
$1 = {min = 769, max = 772}
(gdb) s
nss_sslver_from_curl (nssver=nssver@entry=0x7fffffffd850, version=6) at ../../lib/vtls/nss.c:1640
1640	  switch(version) {
(gdb) s
1663	    *nssver = SSL_LIBRARY_VERSION_TLS_1_2;
(gdb) s
1664	    return CURLE_OK;
(gdb) s
1663	    *nssver = SSL_LIBRARY_VERSION_TLS_1_2;
(gdb) s
1664	    return CURLE_OK;
(gdb) s
nss_init_sslver (conn=0x63e640, data=0x63ae50, sslver=0x7fffffffd850) at ../../lib/vtls/nss.c:1706
1706	    if(result) {
(gdb) s
1712	  switch(max) {
(gdb) s
nss_setup_connect (conn=conn@entry=0x63e640, sockindex=sockindex@entry=0) at ../../lib/vtls/nss.c:1835
1835	  if(SSL_VersionRangeSet(model, &sslver) != SECSuccess)
(gdb) s
1812	  result = CURLE_SSL_CONNECT_ERROR;
(gdb) s
2048	  if(model)
(gdb) s
2049	    PR_Close(model);
(gdb) s
2051	  return nss_fail_connect(connssl, data, result);
(gdb) print sslver
$3 = {min = 771, max = 772}

It works for me with 7.61.1 by the way.

@pghmcfc is that perhaps because your version doesn't like TLS 1.3 as "max" ? Can you check if that's the case with a patch like:

--- a/lib/vtls/nss.c
+++ b/lib/vtls/nss.c
@@ -1777,11 +1777,11 @@ static CURLcode nss_setup_connect(struct connectdata *conn, int sockindex)
   CURLcode result;
   bool second_layer = FALSE;
 
   SSLVersionRange sslver = {
     SSL_LIBRARY_VERSION_TLS_1_0,  /* min */
-#ifdef SSL_LIBRARY_VERSION_TLS_1_3
+#ifdef xxxSSL_LIBRARY_VERSION_TLS_1_3
     SSL_LIBRARY_VERSION_TLS_1_3   /* max */
 #else

 #endif
   };

@bagder yes that's it. NSS in RHEL-7 is built with TLS 1.3 disabled:

Of course they do! :-(

Ok so we need to add some logic and see if we can make NSS agree to a lesser max version.

@pghmcfc please try my suggested patch in the #3334 pull request. It tries to lower the max to 1.2 if the minimum allows that and the 1.3 attempt returned a "bad range". I figure that could work?

pghmcfc added a commit to pghmcfc/curl that referenced this issue Dec 3, 2018
NSS may be built without support for the latest SSL/TLS versions,
leading to "SSL version range is not valid" errors when the library
code supports a recent version (e.g. TLS v1.3) but it has explicitly
been disabled.

This change adjusts the maximum SSL version requested by libcurl to
be the maximum supported version at runtime, as long as that version
is at least as high as the minimum version required by libcurl.

Fixes curl#3261

@Badger, that didn't work (for reasons I can't quite fathom from looking at the code) but see #3337 for what I think is a cleaner fix, which works for me. This gets the highest supported version from NSS and uses that if it's lower than the current maximum and not less than the minimum required version.
