Description Tim Mooney 2015-12-08 15:23:29 UTC
Description of problem:

Versions of OpenSSL before 1.0.1h have an issue with incorrect digests when interoperating with certain clients.  It appears that the bug actually causes OpenSSL on RHEL 7 to violate RFC 5246.

The upstream bug report is

    https://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?user=guest&pass=guest&id=3319

The one-line patch from upstream that's in 1.0.1h and 1.0.2 is

    https://git.openssl.org/gitweb/?p=openssl.git;a=commitdiff;h=4fdf917

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

openssl-1.0.1e-42.el7_1.9
openssl-libs-1.0.1e-42.el7_1.9


Additional info:

This issue can trigger interoperability issues with any client (including devices like mobile phones) that support TLS 1.2 but offer older cipher suites.  Especially on mobile devices, it's often not possible for the user to configure what ciphers their SSL stack prefers.
