Symptoms

When a failure occurs in an SSL negotiation involving Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement, a critical error may be logged. However, an SSL negotiation failure is not a critical issue.

Impact

Spurious critical error logs.

Conditions

An SSL negotiation failure involving ECDH key agreement.

Workaround

Treat SSL ECDH negotiation failures as non-critical errors.

Fix Information

These ECDH failures are now logged as non-critical errors.
