SSL 5.3.8 +
SSL 6.0 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

+ Exclude self-signed trusted anchor certificates from + certificate prospective certification path according to + RFC 3280.

+

+ This will avoid some unnecessary certificate processing.

Improvements and New Features + + +

+ Separate client and server session cache internally.

+

+ Avoid session table growth when client starts many + connections in such a manner that many connections are + started before session reuse is possible. Only save a new + session in client if there is no equivalent session + already stored.

+

+
+ +

+ The PEM cache is now validated by a background process, + instead of always keeping it if it is small enough and + clearing it otherwise. That strategy required that small + caches where cleared by API function if a file changes on + disk.

+

+ However export the API function to clear the cache as it + may still be useful.

+
+ +

+ Add padding check for TLS-1.0 to remove Poodle + vulnerability from TLS 1.0, also add the option + padding_check. This option only affects TLS-1.0 + connections and if set to false it disables the block + cipher padding check to be able to interoperate with + legacy software.

+

+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

+ Own Id: OTP-12420

+
+ +

+ Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV used to prevent + undesired TLS version downgrades. If used by a client + that is vulnerable to the POODLE attack, and the server + also supports TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV, the attack can be + prevented.
