AST-2014-007: Fix DOS by consuming the number of allowed HTTP connections.
Simply establishing a TCP connection and never sending anything to the
configured HTTP port in http.conf will tie up a HTTP connection. Since
there is a maximum number of open HTTP sessions allowed at a time you can
block legitimate connections.
A similar problem exists if a HTTP request is started but never finished.
* Added http.conf session_inactivity timer option to close HTTP
connections that aren't doing anything. Defaults to 30000 ms.
* Removed the undocumented manager.conf block-sockets option. It
interferes with TCP/TLS inactivity timeouts.
* AMI and SIP TLS connections now have better authentication timeout
protection. Though I didn't remove the bizzare TLS timeout polling code
from chan_sip.
* chan_sip can now handle SSL certificate renegotiations in the middle of
a session. It couldn't do that before because the socket was non-blocking
and the SSL calls were not restarted as documented by the OpenSSL
documentation.
* Fixed an off nominal leak of the ssl struct in
handle_tcptls_connection() if the FILE stream failed to open and the SSL
certificate negotiations failed.
The patch creates a custom FILE stream handler to give the created FILE
streams inactivity timeout and timeout after a specific moment in time
capability. This approach eliminates the need for code using the FILE
stream to be redesigned to deal with the timeouts.
This patch indirectly fixes most of ASTERISK-18345 by fixing the usage of
the SSL_read/SSL_write operations.
