Hi Jan,

bottom line, we had a big change in the way we deal with TLS in MINA 2.2.4, which breaks.

At this point, I have very little time to analyse the issue we have, but enough said that rolling back to MINA 2.2.3 is problematic because it does not support TLS 1.3 properly.

Here, our options are limited:

- either we find some time to fix the MINA 2.2.4 issue (which probably means a complete rewrite of the SSLFilter/SSLHandler parts)

- or we add a Netty layer

At this point, I think the second option is probably the right thing to do: first it's going to work, second we will let the API user chose their network implementation.


Adding a Netty layer comes with some costs: the logic is pretty different, especially when it comes to encoder/decoder, but it's likely to be the fastest path.


Thanks for your interest, feel free to contact me if you need more information.

Dear Sir and Madams,

I was wondering what the big issue with TLS in 2.2.4 is and if I could help.

Some context: we are using the LDAP client API for some of our projects and 
Sonar found a serious CVE in the current mina library.

Would you mind forwarding me the email thread discussing this or any other 
information, so I can have a look myself?
(I operated a certificate authority for 5 years and maintained associated java 
applications, including debugging mutual ssl connections)

Kind Regards,
Jan Zelmer
