Your fix looks fine. Thanks!

IMHO, the remind is not really useful unless you dump more info, say, the value of serverIn.remaining(). We can get the value from analysis of the log. The remind is only used for the case that we do not really fix the issue with this update.

QE would report the failure to "THE SECURITY TEAM" anyway.

No new test needed. I only think that you might be able to hack the current test a little to reproduce this and see if the failure is the same and if your code change can fix it. There is no need to keep this hack in your final changeset.

I tied several different approaches within this test, but failed to reproduce the abbreviated handshaking. ;-) It is not easy to hack the test without significant changes. Xuelei -Max

When the last handshake starts: ================ server unwrap: OK/NEEDTASK, 230/0 bytes running delegated task... new HandshakeStatus: NEEDWRAP ---- server wrap: OK/NEEDWRAP, 0/86 bytes ================ Here the first wrap only generates 86 bytes, I guess that's the ServerHello message? It keeps the state at NEEDWRAP but then never really generates the Certificate message. What might be the problem? Good catch! It was the abbreviated handshaking. I guess that the previous client has not closed the socket completely, so for this handshaking, the abbreviated handshaking rather than the full handshaking is used. For full handshaking, it is the client sending the "Finished" message at first. However, for abbreviated handshaking, the server send the "Finished" message at first. In the current scenarios, it is expected that the client sends its application data (26 bytes), and then the server sends its application data (29 bytes). However, the abbreviated handshaking disorder the sequence in that it is the sever sends it application data (29 bytes) before client. In such cases, the following logic does not stand any more: if (!closed && (serverOut.remaining() == 0)) { closed = true; ... if (serverIn.remaining() != clientMsg.length) { throw new Exception("Client: Data length error"); } ... } Because the server has not receive the client message when the server sends its application data. I think it is a test issue, the current fix should has already addressed the issue. That's great. Since the reason is clear, can you reproduce this failure and then confirm the current fix does solve the problem? It is possible to reproduce this failure with a new test case. But it is pretty hard to reproduce it within this test. I was wondering as it is test bug, so we may not want a extra test case to prove that this test is correct. We also have a nested remind that, "IF THIS FAILS, PLEASE REPORT THIS TO THE SECURITY TEAM. WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RELIABLY DUPLICATE." I think it might be OK that we do not reproduce this issue at present. What do you think? Thanks, Xuelei Thanks Max

Xuelei Thanks Max On 07/02/2012 10:39 AM, Xuelei Fan wrote: Hi Weijun, Would you please review the test update for CR 7180038? http://cr.openjdk.java.net./~xuelei/7180038/webrev.00/ We cannot reproduce the issue. However, from the test log, there is two possible issues exposed by this CR. 1. the improper test case senarios of un/wrap() In the test case, the scenarios is unwrap()->wrap()->serverOut.remaining()->"serverIn.remaining() != clientMsg.length". After the wrap(), the next operation may need to be unwrap() to get more incoming data before comparing serverIn buffer with the expected client message. This fix is trying to do the comparing after the engine has closed. 2. From the log, the engine status and handshaking status move from CLOSED/NOTHANDSHAKING to OK/FINISHED. FINISHED means the TLS handshaking just finished. As the handshaking should have completed for a while, it does not sound like a correct status change. However, I did not find why this happens. Need more info. So I added a line of log (suggested by Brad Wetmore) to collect the next failure: IF THIS FAILS, PLEASE REPORT THIS TO THE SECURITY TEAM. WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RELIABLY DUPLICATE.

Thanks, Xuelei
