Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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 Stanislav Zidek 2015-03-16 18:23:19 UTC
Description of problem:
cURL does not support ECDHE-* cipher suites

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
curl-7.29.0-19.el7

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to connect somewhere with curl using SSL/TLS
2. observe ciphers it offers (ssltap, wireshark, ...)

Actual results:
WITHOUT --tls1:
                cipher_suites[17] = {
                    (0x009e) TLS/DHE-RSA/AES128-GCM/SHA256

WITH --tls1:
                cipher_suites[11] = {
                    (0x0033) TLS/DHE-RSA/AES128-CBC/SHA

                    (0x0005) SSL3/RSA/RC4-128/SHA
                    (0x0004) SSL3/RSA/RC4-128/MD5
                }


Expected results:
also ECDHE-* cipher suites are offered

Comment 1 Stanislav Zidek 2015-03-16 18:30:45 UTC
The lists are switched and there is a typo in option, my bad, sorry; the longer one is with --tlsv1 option.

Comment 2 Kamil Dudka 2015-03-19 12:27:46 UTC
libcurl calls NSS_SetDomesticPolicy() to enable default cipher-suites.  If this bug is about cipher-suites enabled by default, it needs to be fixed in NSS.  For explicit control over the enabled cipher-suites in libcurl, there already is bug 1066065 pending for approval.
