Description:
The Ssl_cipher_list status variable lists supported SSL ciphers. However, the list is truncated (at 1023 characters):

There is no "DHE-RSA-C" cipher; it is presumably the start of "DHE-RSA-CAMELLIA[128|258]-SHA".
This is problematic because a truncated list may obscure vulnerable ciphers which are enabled. This output is consistent whether pulled from GLOBAL or SESSION variables, P_S or SHOW commands, with show_compatibility_56 ON or OFF.
How to repeat:
* Compile MySQL Server with OpenSSL
* Connect with SSL (*required to get Ssl_cipher_list)
* SHOW STATUS LIKE 'Ssl_cipher_list';
* Observe truncated list.
Suggested fix:
Do not truncate list, or provide alternate means to expose full list (and deprecate status variable, which is frankly a crazy way to do this).
