Description Mohammad S. Babaei 2021-02-15 01:43:33 UTC
I cannot make a simple connection and on the OpenLDAP server I receive:

tls_write: want=58 error=Broken pipe
TLS: can't accept: error:02FFF020:system library:func(4095):Broken pipe.

And the client:

ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1)


Downgrading to 3.2.3 resolved the issue for me.

My dovecot relies on LDAP, but Postfix is not and it was also broken. If it requires, I can upgrade again and check the logs for Postfix also.
Comment 1 Mohammad S. Babaei 2021-02-15 01:48:12 UTC
I have to mention that my certificate for the OpenLDAP has been issued by Let's Encrypt and is not self-signed if it makes any difference (because I saw the following changes) on the release note:

https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL/libressl-3.2.4-relnotes.txt

We have released LibreSSL 3.2.4, which will be arriving in the
LibreSSL directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.

It includes the following bug and interoperability fixes:

    * Switch back to certificate verification code from LibreSSL 3.1.x. The
      new verifier is not bug compatible with the old verifier causing issues
      with applications expecting behavior of the old verifier.

    * Unbreak DTLS retransmissions for flights that include a CCS

    * Only check BIO_should_read() on read and BIO_should_write() on write

    * Implement autochain for the TLSv1.3 server

    * Use the legacy verifier for autochain

    * Implement exporter for TLSv1.3

    * Free alert_data and phh_data in tls13_record_layer_free()

    * Plug leak in x509_verify_chain_dup()

    * Free the policy tree in x509_vfy_check_policy()

The LibreSSL project continues improvement of the codebase to reflect modern,
safe programming practices. We welcome feedback and improvements from the
broader community. Thanks to all of the contributors who helped make this
release possible.
Comment 2 Bernard Spil freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-02-16 13:33:04 UTC
Can you please check if your ldap server serves the complete chain? There previously was an issue with LibreSSL 3.2 and certificate chains, but those were resolved.

> openssl s_client -connect ldap.example.com:636 -showcerts

(or use -starttls ldap for port 389)
It should return your leaf and the intermediate 'CN=R3' certificate.
Comment 3 Mohammad S. Babaei 2021-02-16 15:01:39 UTC
Sorry, I am not much experienced in this. Here is the output:

$ openssl s_client -connect {REMOVED}:636 -showcerts
