(CVE-2014-3572)
[Steve Henson]
+ *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
+ violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
+ non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
+ downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
+ certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan for reporting this issue.

*) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
=item SSL_OP_EPHEMERAL_RSA
-Always use ephemeral (temporary) RSA key when doing RSA operations
-(see L<SSL_CTX_set_tmp_rsa_callback(3)|SSL_CTX_set_tmp_rsa_callback(3)>).
-According to the specifications this is only done, when a RSA key
-can only be used for signature operations (namely under export ciphers
-with restricted RSA keylength). By setting this option, ephemeral
-RSA keys are always used. This option breaks compatibility with the
-SSL/TLS specifications and may lead to interoperability problems with
-clients and should therefore never be used. Ciphers with DHE (ephemeral
-Diffie-Hellman) key exchange should be used instead.
+This option is no longer implemented and is treated as no op.
=item SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE
in order to achieve forward secrecy (see
L<SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh_callback(3)|SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh_callback(3)>).
-On OpenSSL servers ephemeral RSA key exchange is therefore disabled by default
-and must be explicitly enabled using the SSL_OP_EPHEMERAL_RSA option of
-L<SSL_CTX_set_options(3)|SSL_CTX_set_options(3)>, violating the TLS/SSL
-standard. When ephemeral RSA key exchange is required for export ciphers,
-it will automatically be used without this option!

-An application may either directly specify the key or can supply the key via
-a callback function. The callback approach has the advantage, that the
-callback may generate the key only in case it is actually needed. As the
-generation of a RSA key is however costly, it will lead to a significant
-delay in the handshake procedure. Another advantage of the callback function
-is that it can supply keys of different size (e.g. for SSL_OP_EPHEMERAL_RSA
-usage) while the explicit setting of the key is only useful for key size of
-512 bits to satisfy the export restricted ciphers and does give away key length
-if a longer key would be allowed.
