RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHEA-2017:0671 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE nspr and nss bug fix update 2017-03-21 12:35:29 UTC

Description Hubert Kario 2015-09-07 12:46:50 UTC 
Issue also present on RHEL 6.7.z with
nss-3.19.1-3.el6_6.x86_64
curl-7.19.7-46.el6.x86_64

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1241172 +++

Description of problem:

Programs using curl or libcurl return HTTP 400 error on subsequent https calls because certificate verification fails. If only one url is requested at a time, verification succeeds.


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

  curl-7.29.0-19.el7.x86_64
  php-5.4.16-36.el7_1.x86_64
  nss-3.19.1-3.el7_1.x86_64


How reproducible:

The only difference I can see is that
  Initializing NSS with certpath: sql:/etc/pki/nssdb
is present on the first call but not on the second. CAfile is mentioned on both calls.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. curl -v -I https://owncloud.org/ https://www.owncloud.org/
2.
3.

Actual results:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request


Expected results:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK (for https://owncloud.org/)
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently (for https://www.owncloud.org/)


Additional info:

This also happens with php 5.6.10 and curl-7.43, both compiled from Fedora src rpm for RHEL7 but only when --with-nss (default) is used. Compiled with --with-ssl (openssl) curl/libcurl/php works as expected.

This prevents e.g. owncloud from working properly (apps / external data cannot be loaded)

This looks like bug #1104597 (nss bug), will have a look tomorrow.

--- Additional comment from Benjamin Xiao on 2015-07-08 14:01:45 EDT ---

Also seeing this on Fedora 22 with up-to-date standard php and curl packages.

Confirmed.  Attachment #902122 [details] fixes the bug.  Flipping the component to nss.

--- Additional comment from Stefan Neufeind on 2015-07-25 16:18:33 EDT ---

I've heard rumours this also affacts RHEL6, so we might require a backport as well then.

--- Additional comment from Kamil Dudka on 2015-09-03 05:02:58 EDT ---

A patch for this bug (attachment #902122 [details]) was proposed more than a year ago.  Could you please have a look at that?
Comment 1 Kamil Dudka 2015-09-18 16:04:41 UTC 
There is a workaround for curl suggested by Mozilla upstream:

https://github.com/bagder/curl/commit/958d2ffb
Comment 3 Hubert Kario 2015-11-04 12:19:26 UTC 
Kamil, I can verify that it is fixed in Fedora 22 version of curl, do you plan to implement the same workaround in RHEL?
Comment 4 Kamil Dudka 2015-11-04 12:25:47 UTC 
Yes, assuming the fix gets approved.  See bug #1269660 and bug #1269855.
Comment 5 Robert Scheck 2016-05-19 18:02:46 UTC 
Cross-filed case 01637758 on the Red Hat customer portal to get this moved on.
Comment 6 Hubert Kario 2016-05-20 09:44:00 UTC 
The issue was fixed on the curl side and released in the 6.8.0 release, see bug 1269660.

In the solution provided by the new curl package not sufficient?
Comment 7 Robert Scheck 2016-05-20 11:16:24 UTC 
Taking https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/16255#issuecomment-112481294
and "curl -v -I https://owncloud.org/ https://www.owncloud.org/" as the test
cases:

RHEL 6.7: Does not work (returns 200/400)
RHEL 6.8: Works (returns 200/301)

Thus you are right, curl-7.19.7-52.el6 as shipped with RHEL 6.8 solves this
issue. I didn't verify RHEL 6.8 after I noticed that RHEL 7 is still affected.
So, let's close this one?
Comment 8 Hubert Kario 2016-05-20 12:22:03 UTC 
As Kamil said in the RHEL-7 version of the bug, we don't yet have a reason to not fix it in NSS itself.

So I don't think it is necessary to close this bug just yet.
Comment 9 Robert Scheck 2016-05-20 12:30:54 UTC 
Oh, yes, sorry. I got confused about NSS vs. curl. So yes, while the curl
issue is solved, the NSS one (this RHBZ) isn't yet. Makes sense to get this
fixed as well :)
