+Subject: [PATCH] ustream-ssl: skip writing pending data if .eof is true after
+ connect
+
+Check the .eof member of the underlying ustream after the call to
+__ustream_ssl_connect() since existing users of the library appear
+to set the eof flag as a way to signal connection termination upon
+failing certificate verification.
+
+This is a stop-gap measure to address TALOS-2019-0893 but a proper
+API redesign is required to give applications proper control over
+whether certificate failures are to be ignored or not and the default
+implementation without custom callbacks should always terminate on
+verification failures.
