The ssl.match_hostname() function from Python 3.5
|
|
=================================================
|
|
|
|
The Secure Sockets Layer is only actually *secure*
|
|
if you check the hostname in the certificate returned
|
|
by the server to which you are connecting,
|
|
and verify that it matches to hostname
|
|
that you are trying to reach.
|
|
|
|
But the matching logic, defined in `RFC2818`_,
|
|
can be a bit tricky to implement on your own.
|
|
So the ``ssl`` package in the Standard Library of Python 3.2
|
|
and greater now includes a ``match_hostname()`` function
|
|
for performing this check instead of requiring every application
|
|
to implement the check separately.
|
|
|
|
This backport brings ``match_hostname()`` to users
|
|
of earlier versions of Python.
|
|
Simply make this distribution a dependency of your package,
|
|
and then use it like this::
|
|
|
|
from backports.ssl_match_hostname import match_hostname, CertificateError
|
|
[...]
|
|
sslsock = ssl.wrap_socket(sock, ssl_version=ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23,
|
|
cert_reqs=ssl.CERT_REQUIRED, ca_certs=...)
|
|
try:
|
|
match_hostname(sslsock.getpeercert(), hostname)
|
|
except CertificateError, ce:
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
Brandon Craig Rhodes is merely the packager of this distribution;
|
|
the actual code inside comes from Python 3.5 with small changes for
|
|
portability.

|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
* If you want to verify hosts match with certificates via ServerAltname
|
|
IPAddress fields, you need to install the `ipaddress module`_.
|
|
backports.ssl_match_hostname will continue to work without ipaddress but
|
|
will only be able to handle ServerAltName DNSName fields, not IPAddress.
|
|
System packagers (Linux distributions, et al) are encouraged to add
|
|
this as a hard dependency in their packages.
|
|
|
|
* If you need to use this on Python versions earlier than 2.6 you will need to
|
|
install the `ssl module`_. From Python 2.6 upwards ``ssl`` is included in
|
|
the Python Standard Library so you do not need to install it separately.

History
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
* This function was introduced in python-3.2
|
|
* It was updated for python-3.4a1 for a CVE
|
|
(backports-ssl_match_hostname-3.4.0.1)
|
|
* It was updated from RFC2818 to RFC 6125 compliance in order to fix another
|
|
security flaw for python-3.3.3 and python-3.4a5
|
|
(backports-ssl_match_hostname-3.4.0.2)
|
|
* It was updated in python-3.5 to handle IPAddresses in ServerAltName fields
|
|
(something that backports.ssl_match_hostname will do if you also install the
|
|
ipaddress library from pypi).
