Description Jose Plans 2006-08-01 08:35:26 UTC 
Description of problem:
Using the same valid CA set (attached ca-bundle.crt) and the latest version of
openssl on RHEL3, the certificate is checked as not valid.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.openssl s_client -connect https_server:443 -CAfile ca-bundle.crt
  
Actual results:

depth=1 /C=SE/O=AddTrust AB/OU=AddTrust External TTP Network/CN=AddTrust
External CA Root
verify error:num=24:invalid CA certificate
verify return:0
CONNECTED(00000003)

(see attachement for more details - test_ko.txt)

Expected results:
depth=2 /C=US/ST=UT/L=Salt Lake City/O=The USERTRUST
Network/OU=http://www.usertrust.com/CN=UTN-USERFirst-Hardware
verify return:1
depth=1 /C=SE/O=AddTrust AB/OU=AddTrust External TTP Network/CN=AddTrust
External CA Root
verify return:1
depth=0 /C=DE/postalCode=35435/ST=Hessen/L=Wettenberg/streetAddress=Im Westpark
8/O=ibo Software/OU=Hosted by Secure-Netz/OU=Hosted by
Secure-Netz/OU=InstantSSL/CN=projekte.ibo.de
verify return:1
CONNECTED(00000003)

(see attachement for more details - test_ok.txt)

Additional info:
The issue seems to be in the x509 validation code. However copying
"crypto/x509/*" , "crypto/evp/evp.h" and "crypto/x509v3/v3_purp.c" from version
0.9.7f to version 0.9.7e fixed the problem.

Could you please attach a certificate signed by the 'AddTrust
External CA Root' certificate?
