CVE-2009-3555 SSL deep-inspection support insecure renegotiation

Summary

FortiOS SSL Deep-Inspection may enable insecure renegotiation between TLS clients and servers that support secure renegotiation, opening the door to potential Man-in-the-Middle attacks (CVE-2009-3555) against the TLS connection, where an attacker could inject arbitrary data in the connection (without however being able to decipher it).

The fix enables secure renegotiation on the SSL Deep-Inspection when both the client and server support it.
