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.

Description Tuomo Soini 2016-05-11 11:05:54 UTC 
openssl-1.0.1e-48.el6 and openssl-1.0.1e-48.el6_8.1 both contains time bomb and they can't be rebuild any more because certificates in tests have been expired at 2016-05-10.

perl cms-test.pl
CMS => PKCS#7 compatibility tests
signed content DER format, RSA key: verify error
make: Leaving directory `/builddir/build/BUILD/openssl-1.0.1e/test'
make: *** [test_cms] Error 1

I suggest quick fix so you can continue providing security fixes for openssl.

Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2016-05-11 22:12:53 UTC 
I run into the same issue while backporting the openssl-1.0.1e-48.el6_8.1
changes to openssl101e for EPEL 5. The following upstream patch solves the
issue for me and applied without manual merging:

Comment 5 Robert Scheck 2016-05-12 21:21:46 UTC 
Sorry, I didn't want to hijack this RHBZ, removed the RHBZ from my update.

Could somebody please reset the state to NEW? Because this one is for the
OpenSSL as shipped by RHEL - thanks!
Comment 6 Rajesh RJ 2016-05-18 16:58:49 UTC 
we hit the  smime-certs  expired issue with our rpm build process . We were using 
openssl-1.0.0-20.el6_2.5.src.rpm for our rpm builds.

Do we know when an rpm patch will be available with the updated certs ?

Thanks.
Comment 7 Tomas Mraz 2016-05-18 22:30:15 UTC 
Rajesh, do you mean updated package for RHEL-6.2 EUS? Please request any such updates via the support channels.
Comment 8 Rajesh RJ 2016-05-19 02:32:39 UTC 
Thomas,

I' am looking for the updated source rpm for CentOS as our rpm build gets source RPM from centos.org. I raised this issue with centos.org when I noticed this issue (https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=10843).
Comment 9 manuel wolfshant 2016-05-19 08:37:07 UTC 
openssl-1.0.0-20.el6_2.5.src.rpm  looks like an EUS package and those are NOT available for people without a proper RHEL subscription.
