1057715 – s_client utility doesn't report the size of used DHE and ECDHE parameters selected by server

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Hubert Kario 2014-01-24 16:27:00 UTC

Description of problem:
When connecting to server using one of the ECDHE-* and DHE-* suites, openssl s_client utility doesn't report the size of parameters selected by server.

This makes it hard to verify if the configuration set is secure.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openssl-1.0.1e-15.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run openssl s_server
2. Connect openssl s_client to it

Alternatively:
1. openssl s_client -connect www.google.com:443

Actual results:
New, TLSv1/SSLv3, Cipher is ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256
Server public key is 2048 bit
Secure Renegotiation IS supported
Compression: NONE
Expansion: NONE

Expected results:
ECDHE parameters size
DHE parameters size in case of DHE suite

Additional info:
Needed for verification of bug 1057656, bug 1057687 and bug 1035818 with all suites supported by mod_ssl.

Comment 2 Tomas Mraz 2014-01-24 16:49:10 UTC

I'm sorry but this is by no means a blocker. It should be at least submitted to upstream first for review.

The DH parameter size and ECDHE curve is determined by the server.
