[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#751093: openssl: ccs received early from postgres client since installing 1.0.1e-2+deb7u10

Package: openssl
Version: 1.0.1e-2+deb7u10
Severity: important

Since installing 1.0.1e-2+deb7u10 on my postgres client, I'm seeing this
error after 50-150MB of data has been transferred from the server:

 PG::Error: SSL error: ccs received early (ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid)

My postgres server is still on squeeze and so has openssl 0.9.8o-4squeeze14.

I note that 1.0.1e-2+deb7u10 restricts where a CCS is acceptable (to fix
CVE-2014-0224), and a Wireshark trace shows the last few packets between
client (c) and server (s):

 c->s: Encrypted Handshake Message, Change Cipher Spec, Encrypted Handshake Message
 s->c: Change Cipher Spec, Encrypted Handshake Message
 c->s: Encrypted Alert
 c->s: TCP reset

The only other CCS in the trace was shortly after the connection was opened.

There doesn't seem to be any explicit code in postgres that sends a CCS, so
I'm suspecting that the latest patch is too strict in some way.
