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:
When a PKCS#12 file does not use encryption for key nor certificate for ECDSA, the import fails.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nss-3.28.4-8.el7.x86_64
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. pk12util -i 'keyfile-corpus-keyfiles-0.1.2/ecdsa(P-256,sha256),cert(none),key(none),mac(sha1,salt(8),iter(2048)),pass(ascii).p12' -d sql:nssdb -w keyfile-corpus-keyfiles-0.1.2/password-ascii.txt
Actual results:
pk12util: PKCS12 decode import bags failed: SEC_ERROR_PKCS12_UNABLE_TO_IMPORT_KEY: Unable to import. Error attempting to import private key.
Expected results:
file imported
Additional info:
Looks like the issue is only with the key part of the PKCS#12 file, not the certificate not being encrypted.
This issue was not selected to be included either in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 because it is seen either as low or moderate impact to a small amount of use-cases. The next release will be in Maintenance Support 1 Phase, which means that qualified Critical and Important Security errata advisories (RHSAs) and Urgent Priority Bug Fix errata advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available. We will now close this issue, but if you believe that it qualifies for the Maintenance Support 1 Phase, please re-open; otherwise we recommend moving the request to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 if applicable.
I am not able to reproduce it with the latest packages on RHEL-7.6:
$ pk12util -i 'keyfile-corpus/ecdsa(P-256,sha256),cert(none),key(none),mac(sha1,salt(8),iter(2048)),pass(ascii).p12' -d sql:nssdb -w keyfile-corpus/password-ascii.txt
pk12util: PKCS12 IMPORT SUCCESSFUL
Given that this was reported against 3.28 while 3.30 has a fix handling ECDSA private keys, I suppose this was already fixed in the previous rebase of NSS to 3.36:
