Like protocol protocol downgrade triggered by MITM attack flaw or 
protocol design flaw in session renegotiation support. The first one 
addressed in FreeBSD-SA-14:23.openssl, the second one in 
FreeBSD-SA-09:15.ssl

So the "is it protocol flaw or implementation bug" seems not to be true 
major criteria.

OK, I wish I got best answer to my question possible. I'm not going to 
discuss SA issuing policy in this thread.

Thank you.
