[Pkg-openssl-devel] OpenSSL bug? (error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number)

[W. Martin Borgert]

Hi,

I have a problem with wheezy, but not with squeeze.
I assume, it is an OpenSSL issue, but I'm not sure.

Maybe you could help to track it down?

Situation: Debian client, MSexChange server, IMAP SSL

I'm using Python to test this, just because the original problem is,
that getmail4 (which is written in Python) doesn't work for me on
wheezy.

On squeeze, using 0.9.8o-4squeeze14:

$ python2.6 (or python3.1)
>>> import imaplib
>>> imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("192.168.1.1")
<imaplib.IMAP4_SSL object at 0xb7244c2c>
>>>

On wheezy, using 1.0.1c-4 or 1.0.1e-1:

$ python2.7 (or python3.2)
>>> import imaplib
>>> imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("192.168.1.1")
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 1148, in __init__
     IMAP4.__init__(self, host, port)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 192, in __init__
     typ, dat = self.capability()
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 361, in capability
     typ, dat = self._simple_command(name)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 1070, in _simple_command
     return self._command_complete(name, self._command(name, *args))
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 897, in _command_complete
     typ, data = self._get_tagged_response(tag)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 999, in _get_tagged_response
     self._get_response()
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 916, in _get_response
     resp = self._get_line()
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 1009, in _get_line
     line = self.readline()
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 1171, in readline
     return self.file.readline()
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 447, in readline
     data = self._sock.recv(self._rbufsize)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ssl.py", line 241, in recv
     return self.read(buflen)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ssl.py", line 160, in read
     return self._sslobj.read(len)
ssl.SSLError: [Errno 1] _ssl.c:1359: error:1408F10B:SSL  
routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number

So I compiled and installed OpenSSL from squeeze on wheezy, recompiled
Python 2.7 against that version, and now it works on wheezy as on squeeze.

Is this an OpenSSL bug? If yes, it probably should be fixed for wheezy.
If not, what's going on? Please CC me on replies.

Many thanks in advance!
