Subject: ustream-openssl: clear error stack before SSL_read/SSL_write
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=40b563b1ea89dabb2b6cd90644908134a0c8eff2;p=project%2Fustream-ssl.git

ustream-openssl: clear error stack before SSL_read/SSL_write

The OpenSSL library uses a global error queue per thread which needs to
be cleared prior to calling I/O functions in order to get reliable error
results.

Failure to do so will lead to stray errors reported by SSL_get_error()
when an unrelated connection within the same thread encountered a TLS
error since the last SSL_read() or SSL_write() on the current connection.

This issue was frequently triggered by Google Chrome which usually
initiates simultaneous TLS connections (presumably for protocol support
probing) and subsequently closes most of them with a "certificate unknown"
TLS error, causing the next SSL_get_error() to report an SSL library error
instead of the expected SSL_WANT_READ or SSL_WANT_WRITE error states.

Solve this issue by invoking ERR_clear_error() prior to invoking SSL_read()
or SSL_write() to ensure that the subsequent SSL_get_error() returns
current valid results.
