OpenSSL: SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG option is no longer enabled
SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG option enabling allowed successfull interoperability with web server Netscape Enterprise Server 2.0.1 released back in 1996 more than 15 years ago. Due to CVE-2010-4180, option SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG has become ineffective as of OpenSSL 0.9.8q and 1.0.0c. In order to mitigate CVE-2010-4180 when using previous OpenSSL versions we no longer enable this option regardless of OpenSSL version and SSL_OP_ALL definition.
