This is alert message. This message informs server of some error/warning
send from client to server. After exchange of ChangeCipherSpec alert
message are encrypted (as in your example) and based on this dump is
hard to say why client sends this Alert. When alert message is
unencrypted it has length of 7 bytes (5- header, 2-alert data).
