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 Alicja Kario 2019-03-07 18:17:45 UTC
Description of problem:
ServerHello message sent by gnutls server includes the sentinel value in server_random that should be used when the server has TLS 1.3 enabled but negotiated TLS 1.2, despite the connection using TLS 1.3.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnutls-3.6.5-2.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run any tlsfuzzer test that negotiates TLS 1.3, e.g. test-tls13-keyupdate.py

Actual results:
sanity ...
Error encountered while processing node <tlsfuzzer.expect.ExpectServerHello object at 0x7f6103b1eef0> (child: <tlsfuzzer.expect.ExpectChangeCipherSpec object at 0x7f6103b1ef28>) with last message being: <tlslite.messages.Message object at 0x7f6103b62668>
Error while processing
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tlsfuzzer/scripts/test-tls13-keyupdate.py", line 585, in main
    runner.run()
  File "/tmp/tmp.bVoGaKAI5j/tlsfuzzer/tlsfuzzer/runner.py", line 227, in run
    node.process(self.state, msg)
  File "/tmp/tmp.bVoGaKAI5j/tlsfuzzer/tlsfuzzer/expect.py", line 586, in process
    self._check_downgrade_protection(srv_hello)
  File "/tmp/tmp.bVoGaKAI5j/tlsfuzzer/tlsfuzzer/expect.py", line 666, in _check_downgrade_protection
    "Server set downgrade protection sentinel but shouldn't "
AssertionError: Server set downgrade protection sentinel but shouldn't have done that

Expected results:
connection established, error not printed, random not including the sentinel value

Upstream fix:
https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/merge_requests/918

Comment 3 Alicja Kario 2019-03-20 20:10:30 UTC
One more problem: the server is not setting the downgrade sentinel when the TLS 1.3 support is disabled and TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.0 is negotiated.
