Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.
1. What is the nature and description of the request?
Support for The DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE) Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol is missing in OpenSSL library.
2. Why do you need this? (List the business requirements here)
- To limit attack surface on TLS (by eliminating CA-trust issues imposed by current CA certificate management systems).
- To ease TLS certificate lifecycle maintenance and trust-bootstraping.
- To ease CA-rotation process.
3. How would you like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)
Implement
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6698http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7671
into OpenSSL.
4. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and you can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.
a.
- Create own CA
- Create a certificate for TLS
- Put CA certificate into TLSA record in DNSSEC-signed zone
- Configure an application (e.g. Apache) with the cert
- Try to open a TLS connection from an application using NSS library (e.g. curl).
- The CA cert should be accepted because it will be automatically obtained from DNS.
b.
- Generate a self-signed certificate for TLS
- Put the self-signed certificate into TLSA record in DNSSEC-signed zone
- Configure an application (e.g. Apache) with the self-signed cert
- Try to open a TLS connection from an application using NSS library (e.g. curl).
- The TLS cert should be accepted because it will be automatically obtained from DNS.
5. Does you have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL6, RHEL7)?
RHEL 8 or if possible RHEL 7
6. List any affected packages or components.
OpenSSL library
7. Would you be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?"
Yes
