Problem

• A TLS 1.2 client refuses a renegotiation past its limit (3 in 600 s). ssl_renegotiate (packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c) and SSLWrapper (src/uws/lib.rs) report that as a failed handshake with the session's certificate verdict.
• node:tls then emits one more secureConnect (authorized=true on a trusted chain), end, close and no error. Bun.connect gets handshake(false, null).
• Both engines drop data that the same read decrypted before the request.

Fix

• Both engines report the refusal as a protocol failure: EPROTO with TLS renegotiation limit exceeded, or BoringSSL's own error. openssl.c reports a failed first handshake the same way, so no owner changes.
• They deliver that data first, like Node's ClearOut. A request after the client's close_notify keeps its report (tls: report a handshake that the peer left, and reset the chain check for a renegotiation #44021).
• Verified: test/js/node/tls/renegotiation.test.ts, 44 pass. 21 fail on main.
• Self-reviewed: 11 concerns, 7 addressed, 4 for maintainers (Notes).

Background

• A renegotiation is a second handshake on an open TLS 1.2 connection.
• Bun has two TLS engines: openssl.c for sockets on a file descriptor, SSLWrapper for TLS over a Duplex, pipe or tunnel. Each reports (success, error) to its owner.
• Considered a separate TLS error report for each owner (the first head): it needs agreement (REVIEW.md:66) and overlaps tls: report a fatal post-handshake SSL error over a Duplex or a named pipe #42324.

Downsides

• A reader that lags (paused, late read(), slow for await or pipe) loses unread data: paused, 0 of 12000 bytes, 12000 on main.
• Bun.connect without a handshake handler still gets only close.
• Release binary (linux-x64): .text +768 bytes, same file size.

Notes

680800f: merge of main

This commit merges main (519963e) into the branch, with 0 conflicts. Since the last head, main got #43957 in openssl.c (the BIO write paths, not the code of this PR) and #44290 and #37664 in net.ts. The part of onClientHandshake that this PR relies on is the same. I did not build the merged tree on my machine: the build did not finish in 100 minutes under the load there. CI builds it.

What changed in 245c734

Tests only. The direct fetch case sets proxy: false, so a proxy from the environment cannot take the request. The proxy case goes through the recording CONNECT proxy of the test with respectNoProxy: false. It also checks that the proxy saw one CONNECT for each of the 2 fetches. That shows the route, and it shows on a release build too that the tunnel that refused did not serve the second fetch.

What changed in fb0d3e7

Tests only. The fetch test for a response in the same read as the refused request now also runs on a socket, through a TCP relay. A review comment asked for a fatal mark in openssl.c before the data callback, as in SSLWrapper. I did not add it: the data handler of the WebSocket upgrade asserts that the socket is not shut down (WebSocketUpgradeClient.rs:781), and on this path HTTPContext::on_handshake closes a socket that went to the pool when the report fails. The new test holds that: 2 fetches in a row get 200 ok on a debug ASAN build.

What changed in 0c7e5f6

Two defects of a8ec7d8, both in the new delivery of data before the report.

• A fetch through a proxy used freed memory. SSLWrapper delivered the data while it still looked reusable. A response that completed in that data callback put the tunnel back in the pool and freed the client, and the refusal report then ran on the freed client. A review comment found it. refuse_renegotiation now marks the wrapper fatal before it delivers the data, as the fatal exit of handle_reading does, so the owner closes the tunnel. The new proxy test shows it: without the mark, a debug ASAN build reports heap-use-after-free after the first 200 ok.
• The ASAN lane of CI stopped on _Nonnull binding to null pointer at openssl.c:2507. Release builds declare the socket parameter of us_internal_ssl_on_data as _Nonnull, and debug builds do not. ssl_refuse_renegotiation now returns the socket, and the caller checks ssl_gone(), as the other calls in that loop do.

What changed in a8ec7d8

The head before it (5bfdf34) changed only the report. A self-review of that head found two gaps. Both are fixed here.

• Both engines dropped the data that one read decrypted ahead of the refused request. This is the same on main. My earlier note said that I found no input that loses data. That note was wrong. A relay that forwards the data record and the request in one write loses the data each time.
• No test ran the path for a request after the client's own close_notify.

The production diff is now 2 files, +76 and -21 lines. SSLWrapper reports the limit with a static reason. So the C helper, its declaration in libusockets.h, the 256-byte buffer and the lifetime of HandshakeOutcome are gone.

Measured

"Base" is a release build of the merge base 9f70da0. "This PR" is a release or a debug build of this head. Each cell is 1 run unless a count is given.

Client	Base	This PR
node:tls over TCP and over a Duplex, request 4	4 secureConnect, a 5th for the refusal, end, close	4 secureConnect, error EPROTO: TLS renegotiation limit exceeded, close with hadError true
The same, with data in the same read as request 4	the data does not arrive	the data arrives, then the error
Bun.connect with a handshake handler	handshake(false, null), close	handshake(false, error) with code EPROTO, close

Valkey command, debug build	the process aborts: ASSERTION FAILED: !message.isEmpty() in JSC::createError (3 of 3 runs on debug main)	the same rejection
fetch, a complete response in the same read as request 4, 2 fetches in a row	not measured	200 ok for both, on a socket and through a proxy tunnel (a8ec7d8 through the tunnel: 200 ok, then a use of freed memory)
Paused node:tls reader that reads 1.5 s later	12000 of 12000 bytes (3 of 3 runs)	0 bytes, error, close (3 of 3 runs)

fetch on a trusted chain (EPROTO: The TLS handshake failed. Does the server speak TLS on this port?) and WebSocket (close 1006) did not change on the head before this one. I did not measure them again.

The Valkey abort is the assertion that #43797 handles for two other producers. This PR removes one way to reach it.

The two refusals

• The limit. Both engines report EPROTO with TLS renegotiation limit exceeded.
• BoringSSL refuses. SSL_renegotiate() fails while a record of the client is only partly written (vendor/boringssl/ssl/ssl_lib.cc:1695). In openssl.c a record stays partly written when another socket of the loop holds the buffer for ciphertext that the kernel did not take. The report carries BoringSSL's error, and node:tls shows it as ERR_SSL_NO_RENEGOTIATION. SSLWrapper writes to a memory BIO, so this refusal does not occur there while the write side is open.

The price for a reader that lags

On main a reader that lags gets all data except the part in the read of the refused request, and it gets no error. With this PR it gets the error, and destroy(err) in net.ts drops what it has not read yet. That holds for each way to lag: a paused stream, a late read(), for await with work in the loop, a pipe into a slow writable. A reader that keeps up (flowing data, Bun.connect) now gets all data, then the error. I measured the paused case (the table above). net.ts destroys the socket on each fatal TLS error of an established session, so a change there is for all of those errors.

Order in the refusal path

Each engine reads the shut-down state of the socket, then delivers the data, then reports. The self-review proposed to read the state after the delivery. With that order, a data handler that calls end() gets a 5th secureConnect over TCP, and Bun.connect gets handshake(false, null) (1 run on a release build of that variant). The Duplex row passes with both orders.

Not changed by this PR

• A request after the client's own close_notify, over TCP, with a chain that is not trusted and rejectUnauthorized: false: the client emits one more secureConnect authorized=false after finish. Over a Duplex there is no report. This is the same on the base and on this head (1 run for each cell). tls: report a handshake that the peer left, and reset the chain check for a renegotiation #44021 fixes it.
• A failed first handshake over SSLWrapper still reports the certificate verdict. node:tls: report the fatal TLS alert when a handshake over a Duplex fails #32929 owns that arm. Only openssl.c reports it as EPROTO today.
• With disableRenegotiation(), a renegotiation request ends as end and close with no error (measured on the earlier heads, 1 run for each of 3 clients). BoringSSL refuses that request inside SSL_read. tls: report a fatal TLS error that arrives after the handshake #41272 and tls: report a fatal post-handshake SSL error over a Duplex or a named pipe #42324 report that path.
• The read loop of openssl.c still drops decrypted data when it closes for another fatal error. tls: report a fatal TLS error that arrives after the handshake #41272 changes that exit.
• The success report of the first handshake can be lost when the request arrives in the same read as the server's Finished. tls: fix renegotiation leaving the handshake state latched (lost drain, bogus ECONNRESET on close) #37094 owns that case.

Cost for a connection with no refusal

Release builds of the merge base and of the production files of a8ec7d8, linux-x64, same build directory. 0c7e5f6 adds one store of a flag to refuse_renegotiation. I did not measure again.

• .text: 58148853 to 58149621 bytes (+768). The stripped bun file is 80832072 bytes in both builds. No other section changes.
• us_internal_ssl_on_data grows by 311 bytes. SSLWrapper::handle_reading is 52 to 55 bytes smaller in each of its 3 copies. The refusal is now in a cold refuse_renegotiation (279 to 288 bytes for each copy).
• Stack frame of handle_reading: 0x58 in both builds. Stack frame of us_internal_ssl_on_data: 0x48 on the base, 0x38 here.
• The new code runs only after SSL_ERROR_WANT_RENEGOTIATE. It adds no allocation and no system call.

Tests (23 new tests, 44 in the file)

• Debug build of this head: 44 pass in 8 to 13 s (3 runs). The 43 tests of 0c7e5f6 passed on each CI lane, the ASAN lane included. The 42 tests of a8ec7d8: 42 pass on a debug build (5 runs) and on a release build.
• Release build of the merge base: 19 of the 21 new tests of a8ec7d8 fail. With the 2 fetch tests that came later, a debug build of main fails 21 (the proof below). Release build of 5bfdf34: 9 fail, the rows with data in the same read.
• 2 new tests pass on the base on purpose: a request after the client's own end() on a trusted chain, over TCP and over a Duplex. They hold the rule that this request is not an error. Without that rule in both engines, both tests fail with ERR_SSL_NO_RENEGOTIATION (release build of that variant).
• Other parts of the change that a test holds: the delivery (9 rows), the early read of the shut-down state (2 rows), the reset of the handshake state before the delivery (2 Bun.connect rows fail with handshake false ECONNRESET on a debug build without it), and the report for BoringSSL's own refusal (1 test).
• The test for BoringSSL's own refusal writes 24 MB on each of two sockets into a relay that stops reading. On a8ec7d8 it passed on each CI lane except the ASAN lane, which stopped earlier in the file on the _Nonnull defect.
• The 2 fetch tests for a response in the same read (fetch (direct) and fetch (through a CONNECT proxy)) run 2 fetches in a row in a child process, on a socket and through a proxy tunnel. The second fetch holds the case of a connection that went back to the pool.
• The flush of parked session and keylog events at the refusal has no test. I found no way to park one in the read of a refused request, except the case that tls: fix renegotiation leaving the handshake state latched (lost drain, bogus ECONNRESET on close) #37094 owns.
• The 23 tests use three server processes for the whole file.

Other suites (debug build of this head's production code)

• node-tls-duplex-end-verify.test.ts 31 pass. websocket-proxy.test.ts 39 pass, 4 skipped. valkey-tls-verify.test.ts 7 pass. fetch.tls.test.ts 61 pass. node-tls-connect.test.ts 86 pass, 18 skipped.
• socket.test.ts: 103 pass, 6 skipped, 1 fail. The failure is should not call drain before handshake, which connects to www.example.com.

Relation to the open PRs that touch the same code

• Trial merges of this head with the heads of node:tls: report the fatal TLS alert when a handshake over a Duplex fails #32929, tls: report a handshake that the peer left, and reset the chain check for a renegotiation #44021, tls: report a fatal post-handshake SSL error over a Duplex or a named pipe #42324 and with main (4b02e10) have 0 conflicts. I did not build a merged tree.
• node:tls: report the fatal TLS alert when a handshake over a Duplex fails #32929 adds an EPROTO arm with a borrowed reason for a failed SSL_do_handshake to the same match in SSLWrapper. This PR adds an arm with a static reason. After both land, the two arms can become one.
• tls: report a handshake that the peer left, and reset the chain check for a renegotiation #44021 resets the chain check in ssl_renegotiate. This PR does not touch those lines.

Self-review (of 5bfdf34)

The result: the change is wanted, the PR stays open, merge after changes. It raised 11 concerns.

Addressed, 7:

• The data in the same read (2 concerns): fixed, with tests.
• The path after the client's own close_notify had no test: 2 tests.
• BoringSSL's own refusal had no test, and the reason helper had branches that no input reaches: 1 test, and the helper is gone.
• The refusal while another socket holds unsent ciphertext was not in this text: it is in the table, with the test.
• The sentence "a failed first handshake already uses this report" was true for openssl.c only: corrected.
• A public constructor that node:tls: report the fatal TLS alert when a handshake over a Duplex fails #32929's review removed, and a literal 256: both gone.

Left to maintainers, 4:

• The merge order. The review prefers tls: report a handshake that the peer left, and reset the chain check for a renegotiation #44021 first, then node:tls: report the fatal TLS alert when a handshake over a Duplex fails #32929.
• Siblings of this defect that other open PRs own: the HandshakeError arm (node:tls: report the fatal TLS alert when a handshake over a Duplex fails #32929) and disableRenegotiation() (tls: report a fatal TLS error that arrives after the handshake #41272, tls: report a fatal post-handshake SSL error over a Duplex or a named pipe #42324).
• The case after the client's own close_notify on a chain that is not trusted (tls: report a handshake that the peer left, and reset the chain check for a renegotiation #44021).
• The identity of the error: question 1 below.

Found outside this task

A renegotiation that the client accepts can corrupt the stream when the client holds unsent ciphertext. This PR does not change it.

• Setup: one TLS 1.2 client writes 24 MB. A TCP relay stops reading after 3 records, so the tail of a record waits in the client. The server asks for renegotiation 1. The relay then reads again.
• Result on the base and on this PR (1 run for each, release builds): the relay finds the ClientHello record (type 22, 1469 bytes) inside an application data record. The server fails to decrypt, and the client gets ERR_SSL_SSLV3_ALERT_BAD_RECORD_MAC.
• SSL_renegotiate() succeeds there because BoringSSL's own write buffer is empty: the unsent tail is in the spill slot of openssl.c. I found no open PR for it. usockets(tls): key the spill slot by a connection id; park the handshake reason on the SSL #37679 changes how the spill slot names its owner, which is a different defect.

Review comments on a8ec7d8 and 0c7e5f6

• Confirmed and fixed: the use of freed memory through the proxy tunnel.
• Checked and not confirmed: that the Aborted arm lost a certificate verdict for a close in the middle of the first handshake. The base sets received_ssl_shutdown before that report too, so it reports no error in both.
• Not done, with the reason in the thread: a fatal mark in openssl.c before the data callback (above), the unread data of a paused reader (net.ts destroys on each fatal TLS error of an established session, src/js/node/net.ts:1273), and a module import for https in the test (it would conflict with the import change of tls: report a handshake that the peer left, and reset the chain check for a renegotiation #44021).

Questions for a maintainer

1. Which error do you want for the limit? This PR uses EPROTO with TLS renegotiation limit exceeded. BoringSSL's own refusal is already ERR_SSL_NO_RENEGOTIATION. If the limit uses that identity too, openssl.c can queue SSL_R_NO_RENEGOTIATION and the text in both engines goes away. Node uses ERR_TLS_SESSION_ATTACK for the same policy on the server. 4 assertions in the test file hold the current text.
2. Should a refusal move to a separate TLS error report later, for example the report of tls: report a fatal TLS error that arrives after the handshake #41272 and tls: report a fatal post-handshake SSL error over a Duplex or a named pipe #42324? That report can give the error to a Bun.connect socket that has no handshake handler. The first head of this PR is kept as a proposal on the branch robobun/8d531b51/tls-error-report-proposal (afb4cd7, 28 production files).

Status

The head is 680800f, which merges main (519963e) into 245c734. It changes the two places that report the refusal, and both deliver the data that arrived before the refused request.

How to reproduce

1. Start a TLS 1.2 server with Node.js that sets tls.CLIENT_RENEG_LIMIT = 100. On each chunk of client data it calls socket.renegotiate({ rejectUnauthorized: false }, cb), and it writes done N when renegotiation N completed.
2. Connect with tls.connect({ rejectUnauthorized: false }). Write go on the first secureConnect and on each data event.
3. The client refuses request 4.

Result on 1.4.3-canary.1 and on main 9f70da0: 4 secureConnect events, a 5th one for the refusal, then end and close. There is no error.

Result with this PR: 4 secureConnect events, then error with code EPROTO and the message TLS renegotiation limit exceeded, then close.

The lost data

Put a TCP relay in front of that server. Let the server write some data before it asks for renegotiation 4, and let the relay forward the data record and the request in one write. On main the client never gets that data. With this PR the data arrives before the error.

The tests are in test/js/node/tls/renegotiation.test.ts: "a renegotiation that the client refuses ...", "a request for a renegotiation after the client's own end() ...", "a renegotiation that BoringSSL refuses while a write is pending ...", "Bun.connect reports a renegotiation that the client refuses ...", "fetch (direct) / (through a CONNECT proxy) gets the response ...", and the https.request, fetch and Valkey tests near them.

Walkthrough

The TLS read paths now deliver already-decrypted data before reporting renegotiation refusal. The change adds refusal outcomes and tests error handling across TLS transports and client APIs.

Changes

TLS renegotiation refusal

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Refusal outcomes and read handling src/uws/lib.rs, packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c	The TLS code tracks renegotiation refusal, delivers already-decrypted data, and reports failure based on shutdown state.
Transport refusal and shutdown tests test/js/node/tls/renegotiation.test.ts	Tests cover refusal, shutdown, same-read data, and pending-write behavior across TCP and Duplex transports.
Client API refusal coverage test/js/node/tls/renegotiation.test.ts	Tests assert refusal errors through Bun.connect, https.request, fetch, and a Valkey client. They also check response delivery and connection reuse after refusal.

Suggested reviewers: jarred-sumner, cirospaciari

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 68080

This change reports a refused TLS renegotiation as a protocol error instead of a silent certificate-style outcome, and delivers data read before the refusal. No actionable merge-blocking risk is evident from the supplied review.

Beyond the inline findings, two further concerns were examined and ruled out: Bun.connect without a handshake handler still only sees close on a refused renegotiation, which is unchanged from the base rather than a regression; and a Duplex/pipe node:tls client whose data handler calls end() gets EPROTO, which follows from the early was_shut_down snapshot that the PR takes deliberately and tests.
One thing not settled: the HandshakeOutcome::Aborted arm in src/uws/lib.rs now returns a default verify error unconditionally, and that arm is also reached from the peer-close-before-first-handshake path at line 767, so a mid-handshake disconnect with rejectUnauthorized: false no longer carries the certificate verdict it did before.

Extended reasoning...

The change rewires the refused-renegotiation exit in both TLS engines (openssl.c for fd sockets, SSLWrapper in src/uws/lib.rs for Duplex/pipe/tunnel) to deliver already-decrypted bytes before reporting an EPROTO protocol failure instead of the session certificate verdict, plus 21 new tests. It touches TLS error reporting and callback ordering that runs user JS mid-read, which is where the posted UAF-class findings live, so a human maintainer of the socket layer should weigh in.

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

On the point that the review did not settle, the Aborted arm:

The report in shutdown(true) (src/uws/lib.rs:767) runs after set_received_ssl_shutdown(true), which is 5 lines above it. The base has the same order. So is_shutdown() was already true at that report, and the base took the Aborted if self.is_shutdown() arm, which reports no error. The other Aborted arm, with verify_error(), was reached only from the refusal in handle_reading. That is the path that this PR changes. A close in the middle of the first handshake reports the same as on the base.

The use of freed memory through the proxy tunnel was real. It is fixed in 0c7e5f6, with a test. The two threads have the details.

delivered. Preserve the plaintext through the existing close path, and apply the
same behavior to the C and `SSLWrapper` refusal paths without waiting
indefinitely for the reader to resume.

Superseded by #44618, which consolidates the open TLS pull requests. This fix and its tests are in there, either as written, rewritten smaller, or merged with the other PRs that patched the same cause (see the "By area" list in that PR). Closing in favor of it.
