MySQL: Received an unexpected EOF or 0 bytes from the transport stream

My application to connect to MySQL throws this error intermittently. Unfortunately I only have access to logs. To me it seems like a certificate related problem but I do not know what is causing the error or how I can approach the issue to fix it.

Any suggestion on what would cause this error to be thrown?
