GnuTLS error -15: An unexpected TLS packet was received.

#1 Post by kkggbb » 2021-01-25 03:02

Hi,

My Filezilla client fails to list directory content on my Filezilla server after a client upgrade. I suspect this might have something to do with GnuTLS version being newer in the client, but that is just a guess.

Client: Filezilla 3.51.0
Server: Filezilla 0.9.60 beta

Here's what the log looks like on the client side:

What's your operating system on the client side?

Which version of GnuTLS are you using?

I thought it was statically linked.

Anyway, the client says it is using 3.7.0. Didn't find GnuTLS version on the server.

FileZilla Server uses OpenSSL, and, as it is Windows-only, the version is known.

Could you please try the official FileZilla binaries? If the binaries for Debian stable do not run on testing, try the Windows binaries with Wine instead.

The official binary works fine (Filezilla 3.52.2 with GnuTLS 3.6.15).

Most odd. Could you please provide a packet dump of the error, created e.g. with tcpdump or wireshark?

Came across this issue: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=980119

Using a manually compiled GnuTLS 3.7.0 (and its cryptographic dependencies) I am not experiencing any issues.


There is the possibility that either GnuTLS, Nettle or GMP have been compiled with flags not 100% compatible with your CPU. Could you please try to rebuild the packages for these libraries on your machine?

I've tried building it, but it turned out to be more trouble than I'm currently willing to deal with.

The standard build instructions don't work on my machine. The configure script doesn't find libnettle for whatever reason, even though I've built the dependencies and installed them.

I think I'll just wait for Debian maintainers to figure this out.
