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 Hubert Kario 2017-11-01 18:22:46 UTC
When server receives a list of signature algorithms that are unrecognised to it, it replies with a decode_error alert instead of handshake_failure alert.

This is a regression compared to Bug #1410573 and RFC 5246 violation.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1410573 +++

Description of problem:
When Client Hello received by server does not include algorithms known to server, the server signs Server Key Exchange with a sha1+rsa signature algorithm.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nss-3.21.0-17.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send Client Hello with invalid values in signature_algorithms extension

Actual results:
Server replies with a SKE message signed with SHA-1

Expected results:
handshake_failure alert message

Additional info:
This is RFC 5246 violation:

   If the client does not support the default algorithms (...),
   it MUST send the
   signature_algorithms extension, listing the algorithms it is willing
   to accept.

("default algorithms" refers to sha1+rsa, sha1+dsa and sha1+ecdsa pairs)

   If the client has offered the "signature_algorithms" extension, the
   signature algorithm and hash algorithm MUST be a pair listed in that
   extension.  Note that there is a possibility for inconsistencies
   here.  For instance, the client might offer DHE_DSS key exchange but
   omit any DSA pairs from its "signature_algorithms" extension.  In
   order to negotiate correctly, the server MUST check any candidate
   cipher suites against the "signature_algorithms" extension before
   selecting them.  This is somewhat inelegant but is a compromise
   designed to minimize changes to the original cipher suite design.
