If you find deficiencies in NSS that aren't specific to our packaging, please always report an upstream bug. EKR / Upstream has argued this isn't an issue with TLS 1.2, only with TLS 1.3 which we won't enable yet. the decode_error wording comes from RFC 5246, not from TLS1.3 draft... I understood his comment as "while in TLS1.2 we might have been able to weasel out, TLS 1.3 is too precise in that regard so it should be fixed everywhere" Upstream hasn't made progress in 7 months. It seems this is considered low priority. Unlikely to get fixed for 6.10 imprecise error message doesn't meet the criteria for priority items for 6.10, I'm marking it as wontfix, to indicate we won't track it for 6.10 it's good that you have reported this upstream, to get this fixed eventually. |
Description of problem: The extension is defined as follows: The "extension_data" field of the ("application_layer_protocol_negotiation(16)") extension SHALL contain a "ProtocolNameList" value. opaque ProtocolName<1..2^8-1>; struct { ProtocolName protocol_name_list<2..2^16-1> } ProtocolNameList; When the ProtocolName length is 0 or the protocol_name_list length is 0, NSS doesn't send the expected decode_error alert: decode_error A message could not be decoded because some field was out of the specified range or the length of the message was incorrect. This message is always fatal and should never be observed in communication between proper implementations (except when messages were corrupted in the network). Instead it sends illegal_parameter and no_application_protocol alerts.
