Symptoms

SSL failed to renegotiate intermittently with AES-GCM cipher because IV is not properly updated when a change cipher spec message is received.

Impact

Some servers authenticate client using renegotiation. This issue prevents their clients from properly connecting to the servers.

Conditions

This failure is more likely to occur during mutual authentication.

Workaround

Disable AES-GCM cipher.

Fix Information

The system now properly updates AES-GCM IV when a change cipher spec message is received.
