      Description

        ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
        Linux 64-bit. Originally discovered with OpenJDK 11.0.2, but I can reproduce it with the tip of http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk-updates/jdk12u/

        A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
        The TLSv1.3 spec has this to say about the allowed length of TLSInnerPlaintext:

           The presence of padding does not change the overall record size
           limitations - the full encoded TLSInnerPlaintext MUST NOT exceed 2^14
           + 1 octets. If the maximum fragment length is reduced, as for
           example by the max_fragment_length extension from [RFC6066], then the
           reduced limit applies to the full plaintext, including the content
           type and padding.

        However, t13Encrypt in src/java.base/share/classes/sun/security/ssl/OutputRecord.java will always append 16 padding bytes to the fragment, without taking into account its original size:

            private static final class T13PaddingHolder {
                private static final byte[] zeros = new byte[16];
            }

            private long t13Encrypt(
                    SSLWriteCipher encCipher, byte contentType, int headerSize) {
                if (!encCipher.isNullCipher()) {
                    // inner plaintext
                    write(contentType);
                    write(T13PaddingHolder.zeros, 0, T13PaddingHolder.zeros.length);
                }
                ...

        This causes trouble with TLSv1.3 servers because we set Record.maxDataSize to 2^14, and so the added 1 + 16 bytes may cause the resulting TLSInnerPlaintext to go over the length limit.

        STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
        Compile and run Test.java

        EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
        EXPECTED -
        The test TLSv1.3 server page at https://tls13.crypto.mozilla.org/ should be printed to console.
        ACTUAL -
        https://tls13.crypto.mozilla.org/ returns a "record_overflow" error.

        CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
        Disabling TLSv1.3 support by setting jdk.tls.client.protocols="TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2"
