Cause
AET middleware reports support for CKM_RSA_X_590 while failing when requested to use it.
Consequence
libcacard based virtual card using a real AET middleware on the host fails to do any vcard_emul_rsa_op, failing for example pk11_listcerts.
Fix
libcacard now handles failure in CKM_RSA_X_590 by falling back to CKM_RSA_PKCS.
Result
Using AET backed virtual cards works, including pk11_listcerts or any other operation. |

Adding Rebase keyword. Since the previous version of libcacard (0.1.2-2) the sources have moved from an independent repository to be part of the qemu repository. This was not just a copy operation, but included fixes for reusing qemu infrastructure and applying qemu coding style, and a number of bug fixes have also been done on that code base. As a result a rebase of libcacard is recommended. It will include a fix for this bug. This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an exception in the current release, please ask your support representative. Adding technical notes.
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.

Created attachment 514204 [details] fix for this bug. Description of problem: Using a spice smartcard connection with AET middleware doesn't work correctly due to the middleware reporting it supports CKM_RSA_X_509 when it doesn't. fix is attached. sent to qemu upstream. (qemu mailing list is used for libcacard related fixes since libcacard is part of qemu code repository.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libcacard-0.1.2-2.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. start qemu with emulated smartcard (['-chardev', 'spicevmc,id=smartcard,debug=3,name=smartcard', '-device', 'usb-ccid,debug=1,id=ccid', '-device', 'ccid-card-passthru,debug=1,chardev=smartcard']) 2. start spicec with --enable-smartcard 3. smartcard appears in vm, but cannot complete a pk11_listcerts Actual results: errors Expected results: requests pin and shows certs.
