Hi There.,

Marek, hope ur reading this mail.

I am hitting a strange problem with Openssl. Recently I migrated from
OpenSSL-0.9.8a to OpenSSL-0.9.8d, from the release notes, I see that some
fixes have gone into cipher selection logic of OpenSSL.

Now for the same CLIENT HELLO message (same as in no diff to cipher order
or ssl version from IE), OpenSSL-0.9.8d selects DH cipher suite when
RC4-MD5, DES, 3DES, AES are sent ahead of this DH in the client hello.

Now my question is simple.

1. Is this behaviour only restricted to OpenSSL-0.9.8d or other versions
as well?
2. Why does this happen? Kindof an attack as a weak suite is negotiated.
3. When will a DH be selected by the server.

Note: cipher selection priority is pointing to server (coded that way in
the application).

This is really strange and hope to get some inputs.
Marek..I would appreciate your reply.

Thanks
