When a fake handshake response is generated for a connection that hasn't
received the server's handshake, the client's SHA1 would be used with a
static scramble. This, in theory, would weaken the authentication to some
extend so to completely prevent this, a null password is used. This
removes any possibility of the password being exposed.
A few global parameters weren't included in the list of parameters. A few
non-parameter values that were in the parameter object were moved out into
the attributes object. Sorted the parameter alphabetically.
The parameter is now optional and uses the correct file. If defined, it
defines the CA certificate that would be used to verify client
certificate. Client certificate verification doesn't seem to currently
work as that requires a custom verification callback that interfaces with
GnuTLS.
The mon_ping_or_connect_to_db resets the MYSQL handle which caused the
loss of the error message. Returning a new enumeration value for
authentication errors solves this problem.
The use of the server state is not transactional across multiple uses of
the function. This means that any assertions on the target state can fail
if the monitor updates the state between target selection and the
assertion.
The backend didn't expect AuthSwitchRequest packets in response to the
handshake response packets. This is allowed by the protocol and appears to
happen with at least MySQL 8.0.
This prevents empty or failed reads from updating the last_read flag which
in turn gives us the correct connection idle time when network errors
occur.
The fix to the bug where peer certificates were validated but not required
caused the default behavior to change. The default should've changed at
the same time the fix was made.
The Connector-C was changed to always return only the client's charset,
not the actual charset that the connection ends up using. To cope with
this, the code has to use SQL to join the default character set name to
the default collation for it which can be used to extract the numeric ID
of the charset.
The slave backend would be closed twice if it would both respond with a
different result and be closed due to a hangup before the master
responded.
Added a test case that reproduced the problem.
As long as the same thread never handles more than one fatal signal,
multiple fatal signals can be processed. This should guarantee that the
stacktrace is printed into the log while guaranteeing that recursion never
takes place if the handling of a fatal signal causes a fatal signal to be
emitted.
If the client DCB of the session was passed into the function, it was
possible that the session pointer for it was already set to null. The
session pointer of an open DCB is never null but a client DCB's session
pointer can be null if accessed via the MXS_SESSION object.
Due to the fact that both client connections and listeners use sessions in
2.3, the client_count tracking must be done inside the client DCB. In
addition to this, the max_connections check didn't take the current
pending connection into account which caused an off-by-one error.
This commit fixes the connection_limit test failure that was introduced by
commit 6306519e5e75575ba083ee2f0edfe7e624da5d26.
By incrementing the counters when the session is created, we know that the
counter will always be decremented correctly. This does cause the listener
session to be counted as an actual session but this is already present in
the statistics calculations and is something we have to live with in 2.3
This change also makes it possible to overshoot the connection count
limitation as the session creation is delayed until authentication
fails. Both of these problems are fixed in 2.4.
The default database was not exposed in the warning that was logged when
authentication failed. The authentication uses the username, host and the
default database to find the user entry and the lack of the default
database made it hard to know for sure which user entry a client should've
matched against.
This causes the connection failure to be counted as an authentication
failure instead of a connection error. The former never causes the host to
be blocked which effectively solves the problem for most cases. The only
case where this would not work is where the network buffer for a backend
DCB is full right after the connection is created.
The FakeEventTask called the actual DCB handler with a fake task but it
didn't set the fake event flag. This caused KILL queries to be treated as
if they were network errors.
The password values are now masked with asterisks. This tells whether a
password is set or not but it does not expose any information about the
password itself.
The errors that are ignored by readwritesplit are now stored as the
current close reason in the Backend. This allows the information about the
error to be retained and it can be used later in the error handler to
display the true reason why the connection was closed.
The hangup and error handlers now have unique messages. Although the
behavior in the handlers is practically the same in both cases, the cause
of the error is not the same.
If a socket error is present, it is added to the error message. If an
error is present, it should clearly show the reason why the TCP socket was
closed.
The is_fake_event boolean helps distinguish fake events from real
ones. This makes figuring out the real source of hangup events easier.
The SQL for the second recursive CTE table can be optimized by adding a
where condition on the recursive part that rules out users that are not
roles. The functionality remains the same as only roles can be granted to
users.
