From 8e4057768586961942851d89287f43969352127a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Kaduk Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2018 11:16:21 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Do not cache sessions with zero sid_ctx_length when SSL_VERIFY_PEER The sid_ctx is something of a "certificate request context" or a "session ID context" -- something from the application that gives extra indication of what sort of thing this session is/was for/from. Without a sid_ctx, we only know that there is a session that we issued, but it could have come from a number of things, especially with an external (shared) session cache. Accordingly, when resuming, we will hard-error the handshake when presented with a session with zero-length sid_ctx and SSL_VERIFY_PEER is set -- we simply have no information about the peer to verify, so the verification must fail. In order to prevent these future handshake failures, proactively decline to add the problematic sessions to the session cache.
