Description Paul Wouters 2017-02-03 01:12:40 UTC 
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)
Comment 2 Paul Wouters 2017-02-03 15:54:58 UTC 
SEC_CheckCrlTimes() is already fixed in rhel7, and  CERT_CompareAV() is fixed in upstream nss, so it would just need a backport to rhel7
Comment 3 Paul Wouters 2017-02-03 17:03:32 UTC 
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:

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
Comment 8 Paul Wouters 2017-03-03 17:08:50 UTC 
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.
