Dear Users,

I am in urgent need of help. If anyone can guide, I will be very
thankful. I have given problem details below after necessary
introduction.

I have scanned through the list archive as much as possible and I
could only find one message with similar problem. The message is
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openssl-users&m=109629664621684&w=2
Nobody replied to it.
I suspect this is with reference to DoS flaw (resolved on 17/03/2004)
but I am not sure. I am already upgrading my OpenSSL version to check
out. If anyone can help please respond.

In my case,
- SSL_accept return -1
- SSL_get_error returns SSL_EEROR_SSL
- SSL_error_string returns "error:00000001:lib(0):func(0):reason(1)"
- ERR_print_errors doesnot print anything so I presume queue is empty.

The most intriguing part is when I was writing this server, I
developed a small client just to test connectivity. That client
succeeds. However, when doing live testing not a single connection was
accepted from outside. The test client was run on the same host. I
obtained network traffic using "ssldump"
(http://www.rtfm.com/ssldump/). Its dump is given below for a single
connection.

System details are as follows:
- Linux (RH 9)
- OpenSSL 0.9.7a
- x86 box

The ssldump gives
New TCP connection #144: w.x.y.z <-> a.b.c.d

144    0.0875 (0.0001)  S>C  TCP FIN
144    0.1368 (0.0492)  C>S  TCP FIN
Sometimes the last two lines of "TCP FIN" are there, sometimes not. I
am unable to obtain ssldump for test localhost client.

Please guys, it is quite an urgent situation. Please respond quickly.

Regards
Nauman Akbar
