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: mod_nss-1.0.14-11.el7
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
_mod_nss_ properly detects the threading model in Apache to improve performance Previously, the _mod_nss_ module was not detecting the threading model properly in Apache. Consequently, users experienced slower performance because the TLS Session ID was not maintained across handshakes and a new session ID was generated for each handshake. This update fixes the threading model detection. As a result, TLS Session IDs are now properly cached, which eliminates the described performance problems.

Description Robert Bost 2017-06-14 20:32:10 UTC 
Description of problem: The TLS Session ID is not maintained across handshakes and a new Session ID is generated each handshake.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mod_nss-1.0.14-10.el7.x86_64


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install -y httpd mod_nss
2. systemctl start httpd
3. # echo Q | openssl s_client -reconnect -connect localhost:8443 2>&1 | grep Session-ID:
    Session-ID: 003650B19B45B603120D4CC1611E07A5F681338884832A5E2111F8B242E818BC

Actual results: Different TLS Session ID every handshake.


Expected results: Reuse of TLS Session ID like below:
# echo Q | openssl s_client -reconnect -connect localhost:8443 2>&1 | grep Session-ID:
    Session-ID: 0049728A4B80EC28208D468BEC71CB3BAD9101683083B50FDA81D741993F4D5B

Comment 5 Alicja Kario 2017-07-14 10:58:30 UTC 
(Just to make sure that it's not combination of multiple bugs.)

What is the protocol version used? What is the ciphersuite negotiated?
Comment 6 Robert Bost 2017-07-18 15:19:11 UTC 
> What is the protocol version used? What is the ciphersuite negotiated?

Protocol: TLSv1.2
Cipher  : ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA

The issue is reproducible with TLSv1.1 and other cipher suites as well. For example:

# echo Q | openssl s_client -tls1_1 -cipher AES256-SHA -reconnect -connect localhost:8443 2>&1 | grep Session-ID:
