Date: Thu, 10 May 2018 10:14:57 -0700 (PDT)

The following errata report has been rejected for RFC5246,
"The Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol Version 1.2".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5352

--------------------------------------
Status: Rejected
Type: Technical

Reported by: Loic Etienne <[email-masked]>
Date Reported: 2018-05-09
Rejected by: Eric Rescorla (IESG)

Section: 6.2.3.3.

Original Text
-------------
struct {
    opaque nonce_explicit[SecurityParameters.record_iv_length];
    aead-ciphered struct {
        opaque content[TLSCompressed.length];
    };
} GenericAEADCipher;

Corrected Text
--------------
struct {
    opaque nonce_explicit[SecurityParameters.record_iv_length];
    aead-ciphered struct {
        opaque content[TLSCiphertext.length];
    };
} GenericAEADCipher;

Notes
-----
6.2.3.3. says: "The aead_output consists of the ciphertext output by the AEAD encryption operation. The length will generally be larger than TLSCompressed.length, [...]".

The definition is duplicated at A.1., and needs the same adjustment.
 --VERIFIER NOTES-- 
aead-ciphered is an operator that takes content as the input.
