Description Alicja Kario 2018-01-24 12:47:43 UTC

Description of problem:
When a certificate uses SHA-1 for MGF1 hash and SHA-256 for document hash in RSA-PSS signatures and the policy is set to disallow use of SHA-1 the certificate is still accepted.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
 nss-3.34.0-4.el7

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. x509CertSign --CA ca -t webclient --padding pss --md sha256 --pssMgf1Md sha1 md-client
2. /usr/lib64/nss/unsupported-tools/selfserv -d sql:./md-server-db -p 4433 -rr -n md-server
3. set policy:
# To re-enable legacy algorithms, edit this file
# Note that the last empty line in this file must be preserved
library=
name=Policy
NSS=flags=policyOnly,moduleDB
config="disallow=md5:sha1 allow=DH-MIN=1023:DSA-MIN=1023:RSA-MIN=1023"

4. /usr/lib64/nss/unsupported-tools/tstclnt -d sql:./clnt-db -h localhost -p 4433

Actual results:
subject DN: CN=localhost
issuer  DN: O=Example CA
0 cache hits; 1 cache misses, 0 cache not reusable
0 stateless resumes
Received 0 Cert Status items (OCSP stapled data)


Expected results:
SEC_ERROR_CERT_SIGNATURE_ALGORITHM_DISABLED

Comment 5 Simo Sorce 2019-02-11 15:39:56 UTC

This issue was not selected to be included either in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 because it is seen either as low or moderate impact to a small amount of use-cases. The next release will be in Maintenance Support 1 Phase, which means that qualified Critical and Important Security errata advisories (RHSAs) and Urgent Priority Bug Fix errata advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available. We will now close this issue, but if you believe that it qualifies for the Maintenance Support 1 Phase, please re-open; otherwise we recommend moving the request to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 if applicable.
