What does this PR do?

Fixes #37193.

Hardens server-side SNI matching so that the per-serverName entry of Bun.serve({ tls: [...] }) and of tls.Server#addContext() is selected whatever the case the client spells the name in. DNS names are case-insensitive (RFC 4343) and Node compiles addContext() names into /.../i regexes, but Bun compared the SNI byte for byte, so A.EXAMPLE.COM (or a name registered in upper case and requested in lower case) was served by the default entry instead of its own:

const server = tls.createServer(DEFAULT, s => s.end());
server.addContext("admin.example.com", ALT);

// CN of the certificate each connection receives
admin.example.com    -> ALT
ADMIN.EXAMPLE.COM    -> DEFAULT     (Node: ALT)
Admin.Example.com    -> DEFAULT     (Node: ALT)

Whatever else is configured on the entry (its own ca, requestCert, per-domain routes) follows the entry, so it only applied to the exact spelling as well.

Cause

packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/sni_tree.cpp splits names on . and keeps the labels in a std::map<std::string_view> with the default byte-wise comparator. Both server lookup paths in openssl.c (sni_cb and us_select_cert_cb), and therefore node:tls and Bun.serve, resolve through this tree. The HTTP/3 listener has its own flat matcher, us_quic_match_sni in quic.c, with the same byte-wise comparison, and it additionally let a *.suffix entry match any number of leading labels where the TCP tree matches exactly one.

Fix

One comparison, us_sni_name_cmp in libusockets.h, is what every server-name lookup uses. It folds ASCII case only (so locale rules such as the Turkish dotless i cannot affect matching) and orders like memcmp over the folded bytes, so it serves both as an equality check and as the ordering of the label map.

  • sni_tree.cpp: the label map's comparator calls it. That covers registration, lookup, removal and wildcard labels, in both directions; registering the same name twice in different case is now reported as a duplicate like an exact duplicate is.
  • quic.c: exact and wildcard entries use it, and the wildcard covers one label, matching the TCP tree and node:quic's matcher.
  • App.h: uWS's queue of pending serverName entries (replayed onto each listener) uses it, so removeServerName()/domain() agree with the trees about which entry a name refers to.

How did you verify your code works?

  • test/js/node/tls/node-tls-context.test.ts: addContext() and the Bun.serve tls array serve the per-name certificate for A.EXAMPLE.COM / A.Example.Com, a name registered as UPPER.EXAMPLE.COM is selected by a lower-case SNI, *.test.com is selected by B.TEST.COM, and an unrelated name still gets the default certificate.
  • test/js/bun/http/bun-serve-ssl.test.ts: the options of a serverName entry (here requestCert/rejectUnauthorized) apply to case variants of the name too.
  • test/js/bun/http/serve-http3.test.ts: drives the HTTP/3 listener with a node:quic client (fetch() lowercases the URL host, node:quic sends servername as written and exposes the certificate that was served). Checks both directions of the fold plus a.b.wild.example / wild.example not matching *.wild.example.

All of them fail on the current release (USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1) and pass with bun bd test; the rest of those three files still passes.

Bun selected per-hostname TLS contexts by comparing the client's SNI name byte-for-byte against the registered server names, so a name that differed only in ASCII case fell through to the default context and skipped any per-name certificate, client-certificate, or rejection policy. The fix introduces a shared ASCII case-insensitive comparator, us_sni_name_cmp, and uses it for ordering and lookup in the SNI tree, for HTTP/3 exact and wildcard matching, and for the queued server-name handling in uWS. Exact names and single-label wildcards now match regardless of case, consistent with Node's…

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it changes TLS SNI matching — which governs certificate selection and per-serverName client-cert enforcement — a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed

  • sni_label_less is a valid strict weak ordering; * wildcard lookup and sni_add/sni_remove all go through the same comparator, and sni_add now correctly reports case-variant duplicates (openssl.c:2967 already frees on that path).
  • us_quic_sni_eq preserves the exact-then-wildcard order and the sl > tl guard for *.tail.
  • New tests cover both directions (upper-registered/lower-SNI and vice versa), wildcard case, the negative fall-through, and the client-cert bypass; CodeRabbit's listen() error-rejection nit is addressed.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR makes SNI hostname matching case-insensitive across both TLS-over-TCP (sni_tree.cpp) and HTTP/3 (quic.c). The C++ change swaps the std::map<std::string_view> label comparator for an ASCII-only case-folding one, so registration, lookup, removal, and the "*" wildcard probe all fold case uniformly. The C change replaces strcmp/memcmp in us_quic_match_sni with a bounded case-folding equality helper. Three new tests exercise tls.Server#addContext, Bun.serve({tls:[...]}), and the per-serverName requestCert/rejectUnauthorized bypass.

Security risks

This is a security-sensitive path: SNI matching decides which TLS context (certificate + client-auth policy) serves a connection. The fix moves in the safe direction — a case-variant SNI that previously fell through to the ungated default now hits the gated context — so it closes a policy bypass rather than opening one. I checked that the comparator is a strict weak ordering (equal-length case-equivalent labels compare equal in both directions), that the ASCII-only fold avoids locale-dependent behavior, and that the one behavior change on the registration side (adding ADMIN.EXAMPLE.COM after admin.example.com now returns duplicate) is handled cleanly by the existing sni_add caller in openssl.c, which frees the node and propagates.

Level of scrutiny

High. Per the approval guidelines, changes to TLS/crypto and per-name authorization enforcement should get a human sign-off even when the diff is small and mechanically simple. The native change is ~35 lines and easy to verify by inspection, but the consequence of a subtle mistake here is serving the wrong certificate or misapplying client-cert policy.

Other factors

The evidence block shows the new tests fail on both debug-ASAN and release without the fix and pass with it, plus a clean run of the surrounding suites (serve-http3.test.ts 48/48). The one CodeRabbit comment (wire error to listening.reject) was addressed in 6c0a819. No prior review from me on this PR.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it changes TLS SNI selection logic across three separate matchers (the C++ label tree, the HTTP/3 flat matcher, and uWS's pending-entry queue) and tightens HTTP/3 wildcard semantics from multi-label to one-label, a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • sni_label_less is a valid strict weak ordering; the "*" wildcard lookup still resolves under it.
  • us_quic_match_sni one-label check: traced a.wild.example, a.b.wild.example, wild.example, and .wild.example through the sl > tl && !memchr(sni, '.', sl - tl) guard.
  • App.h sameServerName keeps removeServerName/domain() consistent with the tree; addServerName not checking the pending queue for case-duplicates is pre-existing (it never checked exact duplicates either).
  • Tests cover both fold directions, wildcard case, one-label bounds, per-entry policy on case variants, and the negative (default) path.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR makes server-side SNI matching case-insensitive (RFC 4343) and aligns HTTP/3 wildcard semantics with the TCP listener's one-label rule. It touches three native layers that must agree: packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/sni_tree.cpp (the std::map comparator used by sni_add/sni_find/sni_remove), packages/bun-usockets/src/quic.c (us_quic_match_sni for the HTTP/3 listener), and packages/bun-uws/src/App.h (sameServerName for the pending-entry queue used by removeServerName()/domain()). Header comments in libusockets.h/quic.h document the new contract. Three test files add coverage for tls.Server#addContext, the Bun.serve tls array, per-entry client-cert policy under case variants, and the HTTP/3 listener via node:quic.

Security risks

SNI selection decides which certificate and which per-entry policy (ca, requestCert, rejectUnauthorized) a connection receives, so this is a security-relevant routing path. The change is a strict loosening on the exact-match side (case variants now select the intended entry instead of the default) and a strict tightening on the HTTP/3 wildcard side (multi-label prefixes no longer match *.suffix). The loosening matches Node's behavior and RFC 4343; the tightening matches the TCP tree's existing one-label rule. I did not find a way for the new comparator to cause a name to match an entry it shouldn't — the fold is ASCII-only (avoiding locale issues like Turkish dotless i), and the H3 one-label guard was traced through the boundary inputs.

Level of scrutiny

High. This is native TLS routing logic where a mismatch between the three matchers, or an invalid strict-weak-ordering comparator, would misroute certificates or policies. The HTTP/3 wildcard tightening is also a user-visible behavior change (previously *.suffix matched any number of leading labels on H3 only), which is a deliberate consistency fix but could surprise anyone who relied on the old, looser behavior.

Other factors

The implementation is small and reads correctly: sni_label_less is a valid comparator for std::map (case-folded byte compare, then length), and the "*" literal lookup in getUser still resolves under it. us_quic_sni_eq folds both sides; the one-label check sl > tl && !memchr(sni, '.', sl - tl) correctly rejects a.b.tail, bare tail, and empty-label .tail. Test coverage is thorough (both fold directions, wildcard case, one-label boundaries, negative case, per-entry policy), and the evidence block shows the tests fail without the fix and pass with it on both ASAN-debug and release. The one CodeRabbit comment (wire listen error to reject) has been addressed. Given the security-sensitive path and the coordinated behavior change across three matchers, deferring to a human reviewer rather than auto-approving.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it changes TLS SNI matching semantics (certificate/context selection and, for HTTP/3, tightens *.suffix from multi-label to one-label), a human look from someone familiar with the TLS/serve subsystem would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • sni_label_less comparator is a valid strict weak ordering; ASCII-only fold avoids locale issues and covers add/find/remove uniformly.
  • us_quic_match_sni wildcard: traced !memchr(sni, '.', sl - tl) against a.tail, a.b.tail, tail — matches exactly one label as intended, consistent with the TCP tree.
  • App.h sameServerName keeps removeServerName/domain() in sync with the tree's equivalence.
  • Tests cover both fold directions, wildcards, the negative (unrelated name → default), and per-name requestCert policy under case variants.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR makes server-side SNI matching ASCII case-insensitive across all three matcher sites and aligns HTTP/3 wildcard semantics with the TCP listener:

  • packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/sni_tree.cpp: adds sni_label_less as the std::map comparator so label lookup/insert/remove all fold ASCII case.
  • packages/bun-usockets/src/quic.c: adds us_quic_sni_eq and rewrites us_quic_match_sni to fold case and restrict *.tail to exactly one leading label via !memchr(sni, '.', sl - tl).
  • packages/bun-uws/src/App.h: adds sameServerName so the pendingServerNames queue (used by removeServerName() and domain()) agrees with the SNI tree's equivalence.
  • Header comment updates in libusockets.h / quic.h.
  • Three test files gain coverage for case-folded exact/wildcard matching, per-serverName client-cert policy under case variants, and HTTP/3 one-label wildcards.

Security risks

SNI matching selects the SSL_CTX (certificate, CA, requestCert/rejectUnauthorized) for a connection, so changes here directly affect which policy a client is subjected to. The case-fold change is a security hardening: previously a client could send ADMIN.EXAMPLE.COM and be served by the default entry, bypassing a per-name requestCert: true gate — the new bun-serve-ssl test proves this is now closed. The HTTP/3 one-label wildcard change is a tightening (a name that used to match *.suffix may now fall through to the default context). Both are RFC-4343-correct and match Node's addContext /…/i semantics and the existing TCP tree behavior, but they are semantic changes to a security-relevant selector.

I did not spot any way for the fold to over-match: it is ASCII-only (no Unicode/locale surprises), and the comparator is a proper strict weak ordering so std::map invariants hold. The quic wildcard arithmetic (sl > tl, memchr over the prefix, suffix compare) traces correctly for the covered and adjacent cases.

Level of scrutiny

High. This is production TLS context-selection logic reached by every SNI-bearing handshake to Bun.serve, tls.Server, and the HTTP/3 listener. The native diff is small (~60 lines) and mechanically simple, but the HTTP/3 wildcard tightening is a deliberate behavior change whose compatibility impact a maintainer should sign off on.

Other factors

  • No bugs surfaced by the bug-hunting pass.
  • The one CodeRabbit comment (wire server.once('error', …) in the new test) was addressed and confirmed resolved.
  • Tests are thorough: both fold directions, wildcard positive/negative (a.b.wild.example and wild.example fall through), per-name policy enforcement, and the mechgate evidence shows they fail on USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 and pass on the PR build (debug+ASAN and release).
  • No CODEOWNERS entry covers these paths.

Given the security-sensitive surface and the intentional HTTP/3 wildcard semantics change, I'm deferring to a human reviewer rather than auto-approving.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it changes TLS SNI context selection (which gates per-serverName requestCert/rejectUnauthorized) and tightens HTTP/3 *.suffix wildcards from multi-label to one-label, a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • sni_label_less in sni_tree.cpp is a valid strict weak ordering; ASCII-only fold avoids locale surprises and covers add/find/remove and the * label.
  • us_quic_match_sni: verified the !memchr(sni, '.', sl - tl) one-label check against a.tail, a.b.tail, tail, .tail.
  • App.h sameServerName keeps pendingServerNames/removeServerName/domain consistent with the tree's equivalence.
  • Tests cover both fold directions, wildcards, per-name client-cert policy, and HTTP/3 via node:quic; the CodeRabbit listen() error-wiring note was addressed.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR makes server-side SNI hostname matching ASCII case-insensitive across three code paths that previously compared bytes exactly: the TCP listener's sni_tree.cpp label map (now keyed with a case-folding sni_label_less comparator), the HTTP/3 flat matcher us_quic_match_sni in quic.c, and uWS's pendingServerNames queue in App.h. It also tightens the HTTP/3 *.suffix wildcard from any-number-of-labels to exactly one label, aligning it with the TCP SNI tree. Header comments in libusockets.h/quic.h document the new contract. Four new test blocks across three test files exercise tls.Server#addContext, Bun.serve({ tls: [...] }), per-serverName requestCert/rejectUnauthorized, and the HTTP/3 listener via node:quic.

Security risks

SNI context selection is a security boundary: it decides which certificate is served and which client-certificate policy (ca, requestCert, rejectUnauthorized) is enforced. The direction of the change is strictly a hardening — before, an upper-case SNI fell through to the default entry and could bypass a stricter per-name policy; now it selects the intended entry. The fold is ASCII-only ('A'..'Z' → 'a'..'z'), so there is no Unicode/locale confusable risk. The HTTP/3 wildcard tightening is also a hardening (a *.example.com entry no longer matches a.b.example.com), but it is a user-visible behavior change for anyone who relied on the old multi-label semantics on H3. I did not spot a way for this change to loosen any check.

Level of scrutiny

High — this is TLS handshake path code in bun-usockets/bun-uws, and it changes both matching equivalence and (for H3) wildcard semantics. The implementation itself is small and mechanical: the std::map comparator is a textbook case-folded lexicographic order (irreflexive, transitive), the QUIC one-label check (sl > tl && !memchr(sni, '.', sl - tl)) was traced against a.tail / a.b.tail / tail / .tail and behaves correctly, and sameServerName in App.h is a straightforward length-then-byte fold that keeps removeServerName/domain in agreement with the listener trees. Nonetheless, the combination of security-relevant path plus a semantic change to H3 wildcard scope is the kind of thing a maintainer familiar with the SNI/H3 surface should sign off on.

Other factors

Test coverage is thorough and follows the repo's rules: each new test asserts the served certificate CN (or connection outcome) rather than an incidental side effect, covers both fold directions (registered upper / requested lower and vice versa), wildcard case variants, the negative case (unrelated name still gets the default), and the H3 one-label boundary (a.b.wild.example and wild.example fall through to the default). The PR description shows the tests fail on USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 and pass on the debug+ASAN build. CodeRabbit's only note (wire server.once('error', reject) before listen()) was addressed and the thread is resolved. No CODEOWNERS entries cover these paths.

The force-push resolved my earlier concern — cc4e9faf is now genuinely empty and the source changes (sni_tree.cpp, quic.c, App.h) are back at HEAD, so the stale inline comment about bdfedb0b can be ignored. I re-reviewed this pass and didn't find any bugs. Because it changes TLS SNI matching (per-hostname certificate selection and mTLS policy enforcement) and tightens HTTP/3 wildcard semantics from multi-label to one-label, a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • sni_label_less is a valid strict weak ordering (ASCII-only fold, length tiebreak); * and . are outside A–Z so unaffected.
  • us_quic_match_sni one-label guard: traced a.wild.example / a.b.wild.example / wild.example through sl > tl && !memchr(sni, '.', sl - tl) — matches the TCP tree's per-label recursion.
  • sameServerName in App.h keeps the pending queue's removeServerName/domain consistent with the tree; the pre-listen duplicate-queue gap CodeRabbit raised predates this PR and is out of scope.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR makes server-side SNI hostname matching ASCII case-insensitive across three layers that key on server names — the label-tree comparator in sni_tree.cpp (used by TCP listeners for both node:tls addContext and Bun.serve tls arrays), the flat matcher in quic.c (HTTP/3 listener), and the pending-serverName queue in uWS App.h (removeServerName/domain). It also tightens the HTTP/3 wildcard so *.suffix covers exactly one leading label, matching the TCP tree. Header doc comments describe the new contract, and three test files add coverage for both directions of the fold, wildcards, and per-serverName mTLS policy applying to case variants.

Since my last comment the branch was force-pushed: the bad bdfedb0b commit (which reverted every source change while leaving the tests) was replaced with an empty cc4e9faf. git diff 1b88ad32..HEAD --stat now shows all 8 files, and sni_label_less is present in sni_tree.cpp at HEAD.

Security risks

This is security-relevant in the direction of a fix: before this change, a client sending ADMIN.EXAMPLE.COM fell through to the default TLS entry, bypassing the requestCert/rejectUnauthorized policy configured on the admin.example.com entry (covered by the new bun-serve-ssl test). The fold is ASCII-only, so there is no locale-dependent behavior (Turkish dotless i, etc.) and no Unicode confusable expansion. The HTTP/3 wildcard change is a strict tightening. I did not spot a way for the new comparator to widen matching beyond DNS case-equivalence.

Level of scrutiny

High — this is TLS certificate/context selection and per-hostname client-certificate policy enforcement, and it changes user-visible HTTP/3 wildcard semantics. The implementation is small and mechanical (three ~10-line ASCII-fold helpers plus one memchr guard), but the surface it governs is security-sensitive enough that a maintainer should sign off on the semantics, particularly the HTTP/3 one-label tightening.

Other factors

Tests are thorough (both fold directions, wildcard boundaries, negative case, per-name mTLS policy on case variants, HTTP/3 driven via node:quic so the SNI is sent as-written) and the PR description shows they fail on main and pass with the fix under both ASAN debug and release. CodeRabbit's two threads are resolved: the listen-error rejection was applied in 217432c8, and the pending-queue duplicate concern was correctly identified as pre-existing behavior out of scope here.

@robobun please run the tests this PR adds or changes on Node.js v26.3.0 and report whether each one passes or fails.
They must pass on both Bun and Node v26.3.0, so fix any case that only passes on Bun.

Ran the tests this PR adds against Node v26.3.0. Results per test:

Test Bun (this PR) Node v26.3.0
node-tls-context.test.ts > tls.Server addContext pass fail
node-tls-context.test.ts > Bun.serve tls array pass n/a (server is Bun.serve)
bun-serve-ssl.test.ts > a case-variant SNI cannot bypass a gated serverName entry pass n/a (server is Bun.serve)
serve-http3.test.ts > serverName entries match regardless of case and a wildcard covers one label pass n/a (server is Bun.serve with http3: true)

The three Bun.serve tests have no Node equivalent, so only the addContext case is portable. I ported it one to one to node:test (same fixtures, same assertions) and ran it with node --test. Node v26.3.0 serves the default certificate for every case variant:

exact:            agent1   (expected agent1)
upper:            agent2   (expected agent1)
mixed:            agent2   (expected agent1)
registeredUpper:  agent2   (expected agent3)
wildcardUpper:    agent2   (expected agent3)
noMatch:          agent2   (expected agent2)

The reason is that v26.3.0 has the same bug this PR fixes. It compiles addContext names without the i flag:

$ node -e 'const s=require("tls").createServer({}); s.addContext("admin.example.com",{}); console.log(String(s._contexts[0][0]))'
/^admin\.example\.com$/

Node fixed this in nodejs/node@c68711f ("tls: fix case-sensitive SNI context matching", 2026-04-20, CVE-2026-48928). The regex is /^admin\.example\.com$/i from v26.7.0 on, which is the version the issue reporter compared against. The same port passes on that version's behavior and on this PR's Bun build.

So the one case that "only passes on Bun" is the fix itself. Making it pass on v26.3.0 means asserting the vulnerable behavior, which I do not think is what we want. If you want the test to be tolerant of older Node, I can gate the case-variant assertions on the Node version when run under Node, but the Bun side must keep asserting the fixed behavior. Let me know which way you prefer.

did you really need to go with 3 slightly different sni match functions

DNS names are case-insensitive (RFC 4343) and Node matches addContext
names with a case-insensitive regex, but the SNI hostname tree compared
labels byte-for-byte. An SNI that differed only in case fell through to
the default context, serving the wrong certificate and skipping the
requestCert/rejectUnauthorized policy wired onto per-serverName entries.

Compare tree labels with an ASCII-only case fold (ASCII-only to avoid
locale surprises), covering registration, lookup, removal, and
wildcards for both node:tls addContext and Bun.serve tls arrays. Apply
the same fold to the HTTP/3 listener's SNI matcher in quic.c.
…ivalence in uWS

us_quic_match_sni let a `*.suffix` entry match any number of leading
labels, while the TCP listener's SNI tree matches exactly one; it now
matches one as well. uWS's queue of pending serverName entries compared
names byte for byte although the listener trees it is replayed into no
longer do, so removeServerName()/domain() use the same ASCII fold.

The HTTP/3 listener is covered by a test driven through node:quic,
which sends the servername as written and exposes the certificate the
server selected.
…and uWS

us_sni_name_cmp in libusockets.h replaces the three ASCII case folds that
sni_tree.cpp, quic.c, and App.h each carried.

No. Collapsed them into one: us_sni_name_cmp in libusockets.h (dcee0e7). The tree's map comparator, the HTTP/3 matcher, and uWS's pending-name queue all call it now; the three local folds are gone. Same tests pass, and the branch is rebased onto current main.

Reject comparator-equivalent names before queueing

TemplatedApp::addServerName() queues duplicate names before a listener exists, but trackListenSocket() ignores the duplicate result from us_listen_socket_add_server_name(). Because us_sni_name_cmp() is ASCII case-insensitive, the first entry wins during replay. The later entry's certificate, router, and client-auth policy are not used, while the runtime caller receives success. Reject comparator-equivalent names before pendingServerNames.push_back() and set success to false.

@coderabbitai The merge-risk note is the same pre-listen duplicate finding you withdrew earlier in the App.h thread. Nothing changed there in dcee0e7 beyond calling the shared comparison. To restate: the pending queue never rejected duplicates, even byte-identical ones. At listen() the replay registers the first entry and the SNI tree rejects the second, so the first registration wins, and this PR only makes a case variant follow the same rule. Rejecting duplicates at queue time would newly throw on configs that work today and Node never rejects addContext duplicates, so it stays out of this fix.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@robobun, agreed. The existing project guidance confirms this behavior.

TemplatedApp::addServerName already accepts duplicate registrations before listen(). During replay, the SNI tree retains the first registration. us_sni_name_cmp makes ASCII case variants follow that existing rule.

Rejecting duplicates in the pending queue would change compatibility behavior and is outside this fix. I withdraw the merge-risk finding.

Learning: In `packages/bun-uws/src/App.h`, `TemplatedApp::addServerName` accepts duplicate server-name registrations before `listen()`, including byte-identical names. `TemplatedApp::trackListenSocket` replays queued entries, and the SNI tree keeps the first registration when it rejects a duplicate. ASCII case variants must preserve this existing behavior. `tls.Server#addContext()` compatibility does not require rejecting duplicate registrations at configuration time.

CI on dcee0e7: the only non-retried failure is test/bake/deinitialization.test.ts segfaulting on Windows 2019 x64, which is pre-existing on main (DevServer teardown, no TLS involved). The other three failures passed on retry. The suites this PR touches (node-tls-context, bun-serve-ssl, serve-http3) are green on every lane.
