There's another issue still. If the server sends the client an information
item X after the change cipher suite message, then the client must not send
a hash of that information item in its client hello message on another
connection, until it has verified the identity of the server on that second
connection. In other words, the client must ensure that it doesn't leak
information that would otherwise be confidential--including even certificate
messages and client certificate cipher suite messages that were received
over an encrypted connection.

Brian
