-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid7303 -------------------------------------- Type: Technical Reported by: Eric Lawrence <eric...@microsoft.com> Section: 6.1 Original Text ------------- This alert notifies the recipient that the sender will not send any more messages on this connection. Corrected Text -------------- This alert notifies the recipient that the sender will not send any more messages on this connection. close_notify alerts should be sent with a severity level of WARNING. Notes ----- Apparently, TLS/1.0 specified these should be set to WARNING, not FATAL, but this text got lost somewhere along the way. https://github.com/pion/dtls/issues/195 OpenSSL/NSS both send as WARNING, and servers that have tried sending as FATAL have encountered compatibility problems with clients which treat FATAL alerts differently than WARNING alerts: e.g. https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:third_party/boringssl/src/ssl/tls_record.cc;l=591;drc=c0872c02015009bf3dbab0a83c0452d141e8e9cf?q=tls_open_record&ss=chromium%2Fchromium%2Fsrc Instructions: ------------- This erratum is currently posted as "Reported".
