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the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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 of problem:
In FIPS mode, SSLv3 is not allowed. Binaries from rhn-client-tools apparently use ssl.py python library with PROTOCOL_SSLv23 which leads, for instance, to the following errors in FIPS mode:
# rhn_check
ERROR: SSL errors detected
[('SSL routines', 'SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO', 'sslv3 alert handshake failure')]
# rhn_register
An error has occurred:
Network error: sslv3 alert handshake failure
See /var/log/up2date for more information
# yum repolist
Loaded plugins: product-id, rhnplugin, security, subscription-manager
Network error: sslv3 alert handshake failure
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhnsd-4.9.3-2.el6.x86_64
rhn-client-tools-1.0.0.1-18.el6.noarch
rhn-setup-1.0.0.1-18.el6.noarch
rhn-check-1.0.0.1-18.el6.noarch
rhnlib-2.5.22-15.el6.noarch
yum-rhn-plugin-0.9.1-50.el6.noarch
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup FIPS mode
* see https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/solutions/137833,
* or ask me.
2. Execute, for instance, rhn_register
Actual results:
Tools rhn-* do not work in FIPS, yum-rhn-plugin does not work as well. If yum-rhn-plugin is enabled, yum does not work at all.
Expected results:
All rhn-* tools work in FIPS flawlessly.
Additional info:
* this might be solved by using PROTOCOL_TLSv* in FIPS
* if you need more information about FIPS, feel free to ask
