NIST addresses TLS 1.0-1.2 KDFs in SP 800-135rev1. For 140-2 validation the KDF 
would be tested via NIST's ASKDFVS. For those riding on the shirttails of 
#1747, note that the TLS KDF component is implemented in the FIPS-capable 
OpenSSL library code *outside* of the FIPS Object Module. Though the TLS KDF 
algorithm may in general be Approved, the OpenSSL FIPS Object Module does not 
appear to provide a validated TLS KDF. I don't see a CVL cert for TLS KDF 
listed in #1747.

To be exact, as I read it, the TLS1.0/1.1 *PRF* *combines* MD5+SHA1 for 
handshake/keyexchange, and is Approved on the basis that the combination is 
secure even if MD5 is not. The SSL3 PRF combines them more weakly and isn't 
Approved so SSL3 protocol is prohibited. Suites using (pure) HMAC-MD5 for data 
are not Approved, in any protocol version. 

And as you say MD5 as such is not allowed anywhere.
