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.

NSS should export CheckCrlTimes() and CERT_CompareAVA()

This is an open issue at upstream:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=294538

Currently, libreswan has to copy some of the nss code to work around this bug:

https://github.com/libreswan/libreswan/blob/master/lib/libswan/nss_copies.c


(technically this is a license violation too, since nss is MPL, and libreswan is GPL)

SEC_CheckCrlTimes() is already fixed in rhel7, and  CERT_CompareAV() is fixed in upstream nss, so it would just need a backport to rhel7

oops. a non-clean compile tricked me into thinking this was fixed in 3.28 on fedora but it was not. The header contains the entry, but the library .so does not actually export this. I've created a new upstream bug report for this:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1336487

Paul, the symbol has been exported in F26 and Rawhide in these packages (or later):

- nss-3.29.1-3.fc27
- nss-3.29.1-2.1.fc26

This worked great. libreswan in rawhide updated.

I'm marking this bug as a duplicate of bug 1422165, which contains a patch that includes this export.
