Description Kees de Jong 2018-11-28 09:36:28 UTC
Description of problem: When connecting to e.g. Google Talk I get a warning about the certificate in use which is not signed by a CA. No SNI is defined in the OU and the CN is set to invalid2.invalid. Obviously, this shouldn't happen.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): empathy-3.12.14-7.fc29.x86_64


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add e.g. a Google Talk account to Empathy
2. When connecting the certificate warning is displayed


Actual results: No connections are possible.


Expected results: Encrypted connection established with a valid CA signed certificate.


Additional info: Some other applications experience te same problems; #1629151, #1611810, #1611815

Comment 1 Jérôme Benoit 2018-12-08 14:52:29 UTC
It's related to openssl 1.1.1. 

For example fetchmail need this patch : https://gitlab.com/fetchmail/fetchmail/commit/9b8b634312f169fab872f3580c2febe5af031615 to support SNI properly. 

Empathy need a similar patch.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 29 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 29 on 2019-11-26.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '29'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 29 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora 31 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-24. Fedora 31 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
