** Description changed:

- [Impact]
- Ubuntu Jammy (22.04) is using OpenSSL 3.0 which changed the behavior when 
closing encrypted connections.  Certain clients close their connections 
improperly and thus trigger an error message in the server logs.  These 
messages bloat the error logs.
- 
- [Test case]
- 
- 0) apt-get install nginx-full ssl-cert
- 1) edit /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default and uncomment both "listen" lines 
for 443, and the "include" line for snakeoil.conf
- 2) restart nginx
- 3) from a client machine, send many requests and abort some of them abruptly
-   #!/bin/bash
-   URL="https://localhost";
-   while :; do
-       timeout -s KILL 0.2s curl -v -K <(echo verbose;for i in {1..2000}; do 
echo url = "$URL"; echo -o /dev/null; done)
-   done
- 4) In another terminal, check the error logs for "unexpected eof while 
reading" and SSL_READ() errors
-   tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.log
- 
- With the fixed version, there should be no "unexpected eof while
- reading" error when a connection is aborted by the timeout command.
- With the unfixed version, the error should present itself many times
- fairly quickly.
- 
- [Fix]
- Ubuntu Kinetic ships a newer version of nginx that includes a fix for this 
problem.  This SRU backports that patch to Jammy.  Earlier versions of Ubuntu 
don't carry OpenSSL 3.0 so are not presenting the altered closure behavior.
- 
- [Where problems may occur]
- 
- The patch changes behavior at point of connection termination, so a
- regression most likely would involve some form of misbehavior associated
- with connection state change.  This also depends on spec'd OpenSSL
- definitions; if these happened to be incorrectly implemented in certain
- clients, those clients could exhibit odd behaviors, but such a non-
- compliant client would likely have problems with a lot of other web
- servers.
- 
- [Original description]
- 
- Ubuntu Jammy (22.04) is using OpenSSL 3.0 which changed the behaviour
- when closing encrypted connections. Hence, nginx upstream patched its
- versions >= 1.21.2 with a flag to remain compatible with clients still
- closing connections improperly. Details can be found in
- https://github.com/nginx/nginx/commit/5155845ce4453a07d60e2ce43946c9181bc311fa
- 
- Can this patch please be backported to nginx on Jammy as well?
