The following errata report has been submitted for RFC5246,
"The Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol Version 1.2".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5352

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Loic Etienne <loic.jonas.etie...@gmail.com>

Section: 6.2.3.3.

Original Text
-------------
struct {
    opaque nonce_explicit[SecurityParameters.record_iv_length];
    aead-ciphered struct {
        opaque content[TLSCompressed.length];
    };
} GenericAEADCipher;

Corrected Text
--------------
struct {
    opaque nonce_explicit[SecurityParameters.record_iv_length];
    aead-ciphered struct {
        opaque content[TLSCiphertext.length];
    };
} GenericAEADCipher;

Notes
-----
6.2.3.3. says: "The aead_output consists of the ciphertext output by the AEAD 
encryption operation. The length will generally be larger than 
TLSCompressed.length, [...]".

The definition is duplicated at A.1., and needs the same adjustment.

Instructions:
-------------
This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party
