In this instance all of the above messages indicate that the client is sending ProxySG truncated or invalid SSL messages.

Event Log messages below related to when the ProxySG is acting as SSL client.

Generally if Event Log messages begins with CFSSL:SSL_accept error, that means the ProxySG encountered errors on the client side connection when acting as an SSL server. If they begin with CFSSL:SSL_connect error, that means the ProxySG encountered errors on the server side or upstream connection when acting as an SSL client.
