RFC 4492 says: A client that receives a ServerHello message containing a Supported Point Formats Extension MUST respect the server's choice of point formats during the handshake (cf. Sections 5.6 and 5.7). If no Supported Point Formats Extension is received with the ServerHello, this is equivalent to an extension allowing only the uncompressed point format.
OpenSSL 1.0.0 rejects such a negotiation, always requiring the extension to exist in the ServerHello: CONNECTED(00000003) >>> TLS 1.0 Handshake [length 00cd], ClientHello 01 00 00 c9 03 01 4b cc f2 87 fc 1d 05 2d 0c 1f 4a 74 8b 8c 6f 20 c3 56 fb 35 4a 73 b0 9c e0 c1 6f 34 1b 10 f9 9f 00 00 5c c0 14 c0 0a 00 39 00 38 00 88 00 87 c0 0f c0 05 00 35 00 84 c0 12 c0 08 00 16 00 13 c0 0d c0 03 00 0a c0 13 c0 09 00 33 00 32 00 9a 00 99 00 45 00 44 c0 0e c0 04 00 2f 00 96 00 41 00 07 c0 11 c0 07 c0 0c c0 02 00 05 00 04 00 15 00 12 00 09 00 14 00 11 00 08 00 06 00 03 00 ff 01 00 00 44 00 0b 00 04 03 00 01 02 00 0a 00 34 00 32 00 01 00 02 00 03 00 04 00 05 00 06 00 07 00 08 00 09 00 0a 00 0b 00 0c 00 0d 00 0e 00 0f 00 10 00 11 00 12 00 13 00 14 00 15 00 16 00 17 00 18 00 19 00 23 00 00 <<< TLS 1.0 Handshake [length 002a], ServerHello 02 00 00 26 03 01 20 3f 72 c5 29 9f 22 b1 a6 af 4b 81 31 eb 4c 85 bf bb 3a a5 8b b8 21 86 16 c5 7c 84 5c 73 4a 4a 00 c0 08 00 139742562498200:error:1411809D:SSL routines:SSL_CHECK_SERVERHELLO_TLSEXT:tls invalid ecpointformat list:t1_lib.c:1440: 139742562498200:error:14092113:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_HELLO:serverhello tlsext:s3_clnt.c:942: OpenSSL 1.0.0 29 Mar 2010 built on: Mon Apr 19 19:52:35 EDT 2010 platform: linux-x86_64 options: bn(64,64) rc4(1x,char) des(idx,cisc,16,int) idea(int) blowfish(idx) compiler: gcc -DOPENSSL_THREADS -D_REENTRANT -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -m64 -DL_ENDIAN -DTERMIO -O3 -Wall -DMD32_REG_T=int -DOPENSSL_IA32_SSE2 -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_MONT -DSHA1_ASM -DSHA256_ASM -DSHA512_ASM -DMD5_ASM -DAES_ASM -DWHIRLPOOL_ASM OPENSSLDIR: "/usr/local/ssl" ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
