Description Slawomir Czarko 2005-10-14 11:32:00 UTC

Description of problem:
ca-bundle.pem is not listed as a configuration file, causing it to be replaced
during upgrades of the openssl package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.9.7a-33.17

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. customize /usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.pem
2. install new version of openssl
  
Actual results:
ca-bundle.pem is replaced

Expected results:
ca-bundle.pem should be untouched during an upgrade

Additional info:
This is the same bug as 158568 reported for Fedora Core 3

Comment 1 Tomas Mraz 2005-10-14 11:40:42 UTC

We will consider fixing this bug in future if the openssl packages are updated
for other reasons (security or critical bug fixes).

Comment 3 Slawomir Czarko 2005-10-14 12:35:05 UTC

This bug causes severe problems if the server is using TLS with LDAP and a
certificate signed by a locally created certification authority.
After ca-bundle.crt gets overwritten all the services which use LDAP stop
working because server can't validate the certificate used by TLS. On one of the
servers even logging in as root or local user wasn't working.

Comment 4 Tomas Mraz 2005-10-14 13:59:38 UTC

I agree that this bug is serious but I see no point in updating the package just
for this bug. It's just necessary to fix the bug if an updated package is
released again (for other reasons).

Comment 5 Slawomir Czarko 2005-10-14 14:25:39 UTC

Is it possible to issue a release note or some warning so other people don't get
affected by this bug? We've spent about 20 hrs here before we've found the
reason for the outage of our servers.
