fixed upstream, we must pick up the fix. Might require backporting. We must investigate how difficult to backport, because Daiki said, it might depend on recent upstream refactoring after 3.28, and we currently intend to rebase to 3.28, only. Maybe we must change the plan, and rebase 7.4.0 to something newer? given problems with ecdsa signatures in 3.28 (see bug 1417644), we'll probably need to rebase to something later for 7.3.z anyway, let alone 7.4.0 (a) This bug was reported against 3.21 Why is urgent and is required for 7.3.z ? If the bug was known with old NSS, why can't the fix wait until the next y-stream 7.4.0 ? (b) We shouldn't rebase 7.3.z to NSS 3.29, that's not even released yet, and hasn't been tested anywhere in production. Daiki, what is your recommendation, if a fix to 7.3.z is required? (c) For the other bug 1417644 you mentioned, the fix is a minimal downstream patch that changes a bool parameter. -> should get fixed for 7.4.0 -> not immediately required for z-stream Daiki, could you please recommend how we should fix this for NSS 3.28.x in RHEL 7.4.0 There are two distinct issues discussed here (linked to the upstream bugs), which seem to be causing a confusion: - with 3.21.x, the steps cause segmentation fault - with 3.28.x, the steps doesn't cause segmentation fault, but session ticket doesn't work The former should be fixed with our rebase to 3.28.x. Also, while the former might be a security issue, I don't think the latter is. So, I would suggest to close this bug and open a new bug for the latter (with a lower severity), if we want to track it. I agree to split the issues into two separate bugs. If anyone thinks we must track support for sessions-tickets-with-EC-key-only-configuration with a RHEL bug, which will be supported by upstream NSS 3.30, then please go ahead and file a bug. Let's keep the focus of this bug on the crash. Because we know we will fix the crash bug with the rebase, maybe we should keep this bug open, until the rebase and crash fix is actually completed? Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory, and where to find the updated files, follow the link below. If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report. https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2017:1977 |
