Hi Aaron.

 

 

The IETF mailing list link is http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tls/current/msg03942.html 'el reg' has the article I first saw at http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/11/05/serious_ssl_bug/ and then the more in-depth info is at http://extendedsubset.com/?p=8

 

 

I'm still reading the paper he wrote to discover exactly how bad the vulnerability is. But it's not actually limited to just client auth certificate negotiation apparently.
