Juraj Somorovsky, Robert Merget and Nimrod Aviram discovered a padding
oracle attack in OpenSSL.
If an application encounters a fatal protocol error and then calls
SSL_shutdown() twice (once to send a close_notify, and once to receive
one) then OpenSSL can respond differently to the calling application
if a 0 byte record is received with invalid padding compared to if a 0
byte record is received with an invalid MAC. If the application then
behaves differently based on that in a way that is detectable to the
remote peer, then this amounts to a padding oracle that could be used
to decrypt data.

be in use. Stitched ciphersuites are optimised implementations of
certain commonly used ciphersuites. Also the application must call
SSL_shutdown() twice even if a protocol error has occurred
(applications should not do this but some do anyway).
AEAD ciphersuites are not impacted.");
