             Summary: SSL/TLS server incorrectly closes socket before reporting certificate failure to client
                 Key: CXF-4740
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-4740
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Transports
    Affects Versions: 2.7.1
         Environment: Linux, Ubuntu 12.04
java version "1.6.0_24"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11.5) (6b24-1.11.5-0ubuntu1~12.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)
            Reporter: Jody Fanning


In an earlier version of CXF, 2.2.5, when a client certificate failures to validate for some reason the server replied with a fatal error {{bad_certificate}}. This is correct according the the TLS RFC 2246, section 7.2.1. Closure alerts.

However, in CXF 2.7.0 and 2.7.1 the socket is closed prematurely, so that the client never gets a close or error message. This should not happen since it leaves open the possibility of a truncation attack.

These are the log outputs for each version. These are based on the wsdl_first_https example project where it is configured so that the server does not have the client certificate in its trust store.
