Description Jan Dobes 2016-12-14 17:44:58 UTC

When I'm using pycurl + threading modules with SSL in python, execution will crash with SEC_ERROR_NO_TOKEN error coming from libcurl.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-pycurl-7.19.0-19.el7.x86_64
libcurl-7.29.0-35.el7.x86_64
nss-3.21.3-2.el7_3.x86_64

How reproducible:
almost always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to download multiple files in multiple threads from server requiring SSL client certificates

Actual results:
pycurl perform() calls will crash

Expected results:
works without problems

Yes, this is a known bug of NSS as you have already figured out.

It was not that easy to reproduce in my environment when I tried it recently.

If it returns SEC_ERROR_NO_TOKEN, it is not really a crash, just a spurious failure.  A python script may crash if the exception is not handled, but that is another story.

We should probably create a RHEL-7 bug for this to force NSS maintainers sponsored by Red Hat to at least have a look.  It is a bug of NSS after all.  If you have a business justification, it would also help.

I am fine with including the above patch in a RHEL-7 update.  It will fix only libcurl-based applications though.

Kamil, is this issue limited to RHEL 7, not RHEL 6 ?

The bug in NSS source code must be in both of them but I was debugging it on RHEL-7 only.

Comment 6 Kamil Dudka 2017-01-24 12:35:51 UTC

This bug neither blocks, nor depends on bug #1413619.  In other words, each of them can fixed without fixing the other bug first.  I am weakening the relation to See Also.
