Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • openssl advertises support for curves it doesn't actually support in Client Hello

  • We are suspecting some issue with openssl (1.0.1e-15) package shipped with RHEL6.5. We are working with cloud API with the vmware vcloud API. This setup was working with RHEL 6.4 with older version of openssl, but when same set of packages installed on RHEL6.5, we encountered following error:

    Unhandled exception or status code (SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server key exchange B: EC lib (OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError))

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.5
  • openssl version 1.0.1e-15 and later affected
  • openssl version 1.0.1e-16.el6_5 and later not affected
