[Bug 2055304] Re: openssl 3.0.2 backport IgnoreUnexpectedEOF ssl config option from 3.2

[Hanno Zysik]

Actually, it seems that most programs ignore the openssl.cnf anyway for
security(?) reasons. Played a bit with MinTlsVersion and it did not
change the request which is being sent. Luckily I could ask the DevOps
for the nginx versions used and they have versions with the openssl 3
fix; that comes with nginx 1.21.2. Maybe there is a firewall setting
causing this. Would not be the first time, hah... I will see.

But anwyay, as the openssl.cnf is ignored anyway this report is quite
invalid - does not help. :-D

-- That error message has sent me on a journey, o dear.

Title:
  openssl 3.0.2 backport IgnoreUnexpectedEOF ssl config option from 3.2

Status in openssl package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I get "Closing connection 0 curl: (35) error:0A000126:SSL
  routines::unexpected eof while reading" accessing some web servers.
  AFAIS "SSL_OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF" can help here. With 3.2[0] it can
  be configured in openssl.cnf, whereas 3.0[1] cannot. Would you mind to
  backport the mini patch[2] to be configured with 3.0, too?

  Example:
  $ tail -n 3 /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf 
  [system_default_sect]
  CipherString = DEFAULT:@SECLEVEL=2
  Options = IgnoreUnexpectedEOF
