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.

Fixed In Version: openldap-2.4.40-11.el6
Doc Type: Release Note
Doc Text:
OpenLDAP now supports TLSv1.2 The TLS layer of OpenLDAP has been enhanced to support the cipher string value `TLSv1.2` along with new ciphers from the TLSv1.2 suite. Additionally, the new cipher strings `AESGCM`, `SHA256`, and `SHA384` have been added. With this update, the cipher string `DEFAULT` selects a subset of the Network Security Services (NSS) defaults in order to be up to date with current security development. Note that the cipher string `DEFAULT` currently excludes `AESGCM` ciphers, in order not to break the Security Strength Factor (SSF) functionality.

Description Hubert Kario 2016-01-21 13:47:17 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1245279 +++

Description of problem:
LDAP clients (like ldapsearch) enable insecure ciphers as well as don't enable the most secure ones.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openldap-2.4.40-8.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. tcpdump -i lo -U -w capture.pcap -s 0 port 22
2. ldapsearch -ZZ -H ldaps://localhost:22
3. open capture.pcap with wireshark, set the protocol type to SSL

Actual results:
Client Hello that advertises support for 42 ciphersuites, among them are export grade ciphers but no AES-GCM or SHA256 HMAC ciphers.

Expected results:
Client Hello that uses NSS default ciphers - no export grade, no single DES, but with AES-GCM and with SHA256 ciphers
