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: gnutls-3.6.13-3.el8
Doc Type: Known Issue
Doc Text:
.GnuTLS tolerates longer delays during session resumption Previously, the client implementation of the GnuTLS library negotiated a new TLS (Transport Layer Security) 1.3 session instead of resuming a previously negotiated one if the server did not send session resumption data within 50 ms. This incurred a minor performance impact on session negotiation. With this update, the client waits for an estimated round-trip time plus 100 ms. As a result, the GnuTLS client session resumption is more robust when paired with slow servers or communicating over slow network links. Additionally, for debugging purposes, you can make the client wait indefinitely by using the new `--waitresumption` option for the `--resume` option in the `gnutls-cli` utility.

Description Alicja Kario 2019-02-15 19:16:01 UTC 
Description of problem:
GnuTLS fails to resume session with the NSS server, randomly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnutls-3.6.5-1.el8.x86_64
nss-3.41.0-5.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
randomly, less than 30% connections that attempt resumption fail

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start nss server, attempt multiple resumptions
2.
3.

Actual results:
some connections fail to resume session

Expected results:
all sessions should be able to resume when the ticket is not reused

Additional info:
Comment 1 Alicja Kario 2019-02-18 12:46:28 UTC 
reproduced also against OpenSSL server so looks like the issue is in GnuTLS.
Comment 2 Anderson Sasaki 2019-03-13 17:36:35 UTC 
This issue was set to medium priority because it does not affect core functionality of a component.
