[gnutls-devel] GnuTLS | kTLS gets desynchronised when sending (in gnutls_record_send) (#1470)

[Read-only notification of GnuTLS library development activities]

Richard W_M_ Jones commented:


Looking at https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/blob/3a812ae1bb684a754f5988c6dd3e7b8f861a974f/lib/system/ktls.c#L565 I think the problem seems likely to be in the implementation of kTLS inside GnuTLS.

I think what we are seeing is the first iteration of the while loop, `data_to_send` is 262144.  We successfully do a short `sendmsg`, so `data_to_send` will be 16384.  Then `sendmsg` returns `EAGAIN`.  We return to the caller, but now we've "forgotten" that we already sent the first 245760 bytes.

I'm pretty sure that loop cannot work in the case where `sendmsg` could ever return a short write.
