Description Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2014-08-19 10:52:11 UTC
GnuTLS when decoding PKCS #12 uses the DER decoder, so any legal BER-encoded PKCS #12 files cannot be parsed. 

Gnutls should use a BER parser for PKCS #12 files.

Comment 8 Scott Poore 2015-04-06 16:20:30 UTC
Nikos,

I'm trying to check this and leave karma but, I'm not sure I know how to test this.

How can I test with the example pfx file from comment #1?

This is what I was trying as a quick test:

certtool --infile=pkcs12.pfx --p12-info --inder

But, that seems to work with version gnutls-3.3.13-1.fc22.x86_64:

# certtool --infile=pkcs12.pfx --p12-info --inder

Is there somewhere else this would fail if it's not fixed?  Is there a way I could check that with danetool?

Thanks,
Scott

Comment 9 Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2015-04-06 20:36:15 UTC
Unfortunately it is not easy to test as I received few encrypted PKCS #12 files which I cannot include in this bug report and they are not easy to regenerate either (they are not generated from either openssl or gnutls). If you have PKCS #12 files generated out of gnutls or openssl please try them (and if they can be distributed let me know). Otherwise simply check whether it works for your files.

Comment 10 Scott Poore 2015-04-07 12:51:00 UTC
Ok.  Thanks for the help.  Karma given.

Thanks. Could you also give karma to libtasn1 since it is a dependency of this package?

Comment 12 Scott Poore 2015-04-07 16:20:26 UTC
