[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#701868: cannot connect to IRC server

Package: libssl1.0.0
Version: 1.0.1e-1
Severity: grave

This version of OpenSSL makes it impossible to connect to my company's
IRC server. I have tried four IRC clients (irssi, kvirc, konversation
and quassel) and all of them disconnect shortly after connecting.

ircssi gives this error:
"SSL read error: decryption failed or bad record mac"

kvirc says:

[09:39:59] [irc.example.net]: *** You are connected using SSL cipher "DHE-RSA-AES-256-CBC-SHA1"
[09:40:00] [SSL ERROR]: decryption failed or bad record mac
[09:40:00] [SOCKET ERROR]: Secure Socket Layer error
[09:40:00] Connection terminated [irc.example.net (1.2.3.4:1234)]

I have verified that everything works when I downgrade to 1.0.1c-4.

Probably same as this bug:
