Description Andrej Nemec 2018-06-27 08:16:01 UTC

When the negotiated ciphersuite is of the type TLS-ECDH-RSA-* (ECDH key exchange + RSA signed certificate), ECDSA signed certificates are accepted, which means that the ciphersuite technically becomes TLS-ECDH-ECDSA.

I agree with the upstream analysis, it seems this was classified as a regular bug.
