Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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 Alicja Kario 2014-01-28 13:54:24 UTC 
Description of problem:
Curl is unable to connect over FTPS (not to be confused with SFTP, aka SCP) to vsftpd that uses ECDSA certificates.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
curl-7.19.7-37.el6_4.x86_64
vsftpd-2.2.2-11.el6_4.1.x86_64
openssl-1.0.1e-15.el6.x86_64
nss-3.15.1-15.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure vsftpd with SSL support, use ECDSA certificates
2. Set ssl_ciphers to ECDH-ECDSA-AES128-SHA
3. Connect to vsftp using curl

Actual results:
* About to connect() to localhost port 21 (#0)
*   Trying ::1... Connection refused
*   Trying 127.0.0.1... connected
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 21 (#0)
< 220 (vsFTPd 2.2.2)
> AUTH SSL
< 234 Proceed with negotiation.
* Initializing NSS with certpath: sql:/etc/pki/nssdb
*   CAfile: /etc/pki/CA/certs/ca_cert.pem
  CApath: none
* NSS error -12286
* Error in TLS handshake, trying SSLv3...
> USER anonymous
< 500 OOPS: error:1408A0C1:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:no shared cipher
* Access denied: 500
* Closing connection #0

curl: (67) Access denied: 500

Expected results:
Connection negotiated using ECDH-ECDSA-AES128-SHA cipher suite

Additional info:
Connection using openssl s_client -starttls ftp -connect localhost:21 is successful:

DONE

Setting the cipher explicitly using `--ciphers` option is not supported too (either by using ECDH-ECDSA-AES128-SHA and "ecdh_ecdsa_aes_128_sha" names) and results in:
* About to connect() to localhost port 21 (#0)
*   Trying ::1... Connection refused
*   Trying 127.0.0.1... connected
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 21 (#0)
< 220 (vsFTPd 2.2.2)
> AUTH SSL
< 234 Proceed with negotiation.
* Initializing NSS with certpath: sql:/etc/pki/nssdb
* Unknown cipher in list: ecdh_ecdsa_aes_128_sha
* NSS error -5978
* Closing connection #0

curl: (59) Unknown cipher in list: ecdh_ecdsa_aes_128_sha
