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 of problem:
Originally reported at:
https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnutls-devel/2016-October/008209.html

... That said I also reproduced the issue; the fault is with the older
version, as it requires a CertificateStatus message if ServerHello
included the (empty) "status_request" extension, although RFC 6066
explicitly states:

   Note that a server MAY also choose not to send a "CertificateStatus"
   message, even if has received a "status_request" extension in the
   client hello message and has sent a "status_request" extension in the
   server hello message.

So the new gnutls code doesn't do anything wrong by replying with an
empty "status_request" extension, even if there is no chance of sending
a CertificateStatus message, just the old versions can't handle it.

The new version handles this by passing optional = 1 in the call to
_gnutls_recv_handshake(GNUTLS_HANDSHAKE_CERTIFICATE_STATUS) in
status_request.c.
