The following errata report has been verified for RFC5246, "The Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol Version 1.2". -------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid4750 -------------------------------------- Status: Verified Type: Technical Reported by: Adrien de Croy <adrien@qbik.com> Date Reported: 2016-07-27 Verified by: Paul Wouters (IESG) Section: 4.3 Vectors Original Text ------------- The length of an encoded vector must be an even multiple of the length of a single element (for example, a 17-byte vector of uint16 would be illegal). Corrected Text -------------- The length of an encoded vector must be a whole multiple of the length of a single element (for example, a 17-byte vector of uint16 would be illegal). Notes ----- Original text implies vectors can only contain even (0,2,4,6,8...) numbers of elements. The example does not resolve this but indicates the intent is that parts of elements are not allowed. It is clear from other examples that odd numbers of elements are permitted. Paul Wouters (AD): As TLS 1.2 is obsoleted by TLS 1.3, this errata is closed as Verified. In TLS 1.3 in RFC 8447 the text states more clearly: Here, T' occupies n bytes in the data stream, where n is a multiple of the size of T. -------------------------------------- RFC5246 (draft-ietf-tls-rfc4346-bis-10) -------------------------------------- Title : The Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol Version 1.2 Publication Date : August 2008 Author(s) : T.
