<p> An erlang TLS server configured with cipher suites
using rsa key exchange, may be vulnerable to an Adaptive
Chosen Ciphertext attack (AKA Bleichenbacher attack)
against RSA, which when exploited, may result in
plaintext recovery of encrypted messages and/or a
Man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attack, despite the attacker not
having gained access to the server’s private key
itself. <url
href="https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-1000385">CVE-2017-1000385</url>
</p> <p> Exploiting this vulnerability to perform
plaintext recovery of encrypted messages will, in most
practical cases, allow an attacker to read the plaintext
only after the session has completed. Only TLS sessions
established using RSA key exchange are vulnerable to this
attack. </p> <p> Exploiting this vulnerability to conduct
a MiTM attack requires the attacker to complete the
initial attack, which may require thousands of server
requests, during the handshake phase of the targeted
session within the window of the configured handshake
timeout. This attack may be conducted against any TLS
session using RSA signatures, but only if cipher suites
using RSA key exchange are also enabled on the server.
The limited window of opportunity, limitations in
bandwidth, and latency make this attack significantly
more difficult to execute. </p> <p> RSA key exchange is
enabled by default although least prioritized if server
order is honored. For such a cipher suite to be chosen it
must also be supported by the client and probably the
only shared cipher suite. </p> <p> Captured TLS sessions
encrypted with ephemeral cipher suites (DHE or ECDHE) are
not at risk for subsequent decryption due to this
vulnerability. </p> <p> As a workaround if default cipher
suite configuration was used you can configure the server
to not use vulnerable suites with the ciphers option like
this: </p> <c> {ciphers, [Suite || Suite <-
ssl:cipher_suites(), element(1,Suite) =/= rsa]} </c> <p>
that is your code will look somethingh like this: </p>

ssl:cipher_suites(), element(1,S) =/= rsa]} | Options]).

TLS-1.2 clients will now always send hello messages on
its own format, as opposed to earlier versions that will
send the hello on the lowest supported version, this is a
change supported by the latest RFC.</p>
<p>
This will make interoperability with some newer servers
smoother. Potentially, but unlikely, this could cause a
problem with older servers if they do not adhere to the
RFC and ignore unknown extensions.</p>

hostname during certificate path validation. The user may
explicitly disables it. Also if the hostname can not be

will not be performed.</p>

Extend connection_information/[1,2] . The values
session_id, master_secret, client_random and
server_random can no be accessed by
connection_information/2. Note only session_id will be
added to connection_information/1. The rational is that
values concerning the connection security should have to
be explicitly requested.</p>

<p> An erlang TLS server configured with cipher suites
using rsa key exchange, may be vulnerable to an Adaptive
Chosen Ciphertext attack (AKA Bleichenbacher attack)
against RSA, which when exploited, may result in
plaintext recovery of encrypted messages and/or a
Man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attack, despite the attacker not
having gained access to the server’s private key
itself. <url
href="https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-1000385">CVE-2017-1000385</url>
</p> <p> Exploiting this vulnerability to perform
plaintext recovery of encrypted messages will, in most
practical cases, allow an attacker to read the plaintext
only after the session has completed. Only TLS sessions
established using RSA key exchange are vulnerable to this
attack. </p> <p> Exploiting this vulnerability to conduct
a MiTM attack requires the attacker to complete the
initial attack, which may require thousands of server
requests, during the handshake phase of the targeted
session within the window of the configured handshake
timeout. This attack may be conducted against any TLS
session using RSA signatures, but only if cipher suites
using RSA key exchange are also enabled on the server.
The limited window of opportunity, limitations in
bandwidth, and latency make this attack significantly
more difficult to execute. </p> <p> RSA key exchange is
enabled by default although least prioritized if server
order is honored. For such a cipher suite to be chosen it
must also be supported by the client and probably the
only shared cipher suite. </p> <p> Captured TLS sessions
encrypted with ephemeral cipher suites (DHE or ECDHE) are
not at risk for subsequent decryption due to this
vulnerability. </p> <p> As a workaround if default cipher
suite configuration was used you can configure the server
to not use vulnerable suites with the ciphers option like
this: </p> <c> {ciphers, [Suite || Suite <-
ssl:cipher_suites(), element(1,Suite) =/= rsa]} </c> <p>

Integrate elliptic curve contribution from Andreas
Schultz </p>
<p>
In order to be able to support elliptic curve cipher
suites in SSL/TLS, additions to handle elliptic curve
infrastructure has been added to public_key and crypto.</p>
<p>
This also has resulted in a rewrite of the crypto API to
gain consistency and remove unnecessary overhead. All OTP
applications using crypto has been updated to use the new
API.</p>
<p>
Impact: Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) offers
equivalent security with smaller key sizes than other
public key algorithms. Smaller key sizes result in
savings for power, memory, bandwidth, and computational
cost that make ECC especially attractive for constrained
environments.</p>
