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).

Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The driver code was not handling errors correctly. Consequence: Reading some of the restricted objects on CAC cards led to infinite loop and therefore software hang. Fix: The error codes are handled properly. Result: The tools can read all supported objects on the card without problems.

Description Scott Poore 2017-07-20 14:00:59 UTC
Description of problem:

While trying to test a GSC-IS Smart Card, I configured opensc to use the cac driver. I hit a problem where commands were running/hanging indefinitely.  When looking at the debug logging output, it looks like we've hit an infinite loop.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
opensc-0.16.0-5.20170227git777e2a3.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
It is happening consistently now in my test environment and Dev was able to reproduce it.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Setup client to be able to read smart card

yum install opensc gnutls-utils

2.  Configure opensc to use cac driver

vi /etc/opensc-x86_64.conf
# Set the following:
card_drivers = cac, PIV-II;

3.  Try to read the card

p11tool --provider /usr/lib64/opensc-pkcs11.so --list-all

Actual results:

hangs indefinitely

Expected results:

returns data from card

Additional info:

To determine loop, set debugging in config

vi /etc/opensc-x86_64.conf

app default {
...
        debug = 9;
        debug_file = /tmp/opensc-debug.log
...

opensc debug log with loop

Comment 3 Jakub Jelen 2017-07-20 14:20:17 UTC
Explanation of the error from earlier email discussion:

What is going on there, is that the driver tries to read the files on
the card, but card returns status words SW are 69:82, which means
"Security status not satisfied". This means that we can not read this
data (even after login). But the endless loop is certainly bug and
should be fixed

From what I see in the log, it is the p11tool trying to get attribute
CKA_VALUE of "PKI Credential" data object and it never returns.

The loop is there because the cac_apdu_io() does not check for the SW
(unless SW1=61), the error is not visible from cac_read_file() and we
cycle until we load all data we expect. Proper fix would be to check
for the SW in every case and return appropriate error.

opensc debug log from sssd failure

This is the debug log from an attempted failure as hit by SSSD.

Comment 5 Jakub Jelen 2017-07-20 15:27:11 UTC
This is the same error. But triggered by the search for the objects with given CKA_VALUE over PKCS#11. I don't see how we could workaround this problem for SSSD without rebuilding the package and fixing this problem.

Comment 6 Sumit Bose 2017-07-20 15:51:19 UTC
I wonder if coolkey still handles this case correctly? Scott, can you try to remove OpenSC and add coolkey to /etc/pki/nssdb and check if authentication with SSSD work with the expected certificates?

Comment 7 Jakub Jelen 2017-07-20 16:00:16 UTC
Coolkey should work as before (if not, then it is a regression). There were not dramatic changes in the code related to CAC.

Comment 8 Sumit Bose 2017-07-20 16:34:21 UTC
Then I think we should add this ticket at least to the Known Issues of 7.4 and recommend to use coolkey if customers have issues using OpenSC cac card driver.

Nevertheless I think it would be good to have a fix which can be released in one of the 7.4 batch updates.

Comment 10 Jakub Jelen 2017-08-21 14:38:50 UTC
For the record, this was fixed as part of the following upstream PR:

So with the above config, is opensc expected to detect only certs on PIV/CAC cards? PIV/CAC cards worked as expected, there was no hang and the certificates were correctly detected. But when I used a SC650 SCP03 smartcard which is non CAC/PIV p11tool --provider /usr/lib64/opensc-pkcs11.so --list-all hung. I am attaching the opensc debug log at this point.

Comment 14 Jakub Jelen 2017-12-14 08:22:07 UTC
What you attached does not look like a debug log, but as some database.

I can not reproduce it with current version in Fedora and with CardOS cards.

Reduced the debug level to 5 to get this log file

Comment 16 Jakub Jelen 2017-12-18 11:34:57 UTC
Thank you for the log. It looks like a card that responds to the CAC instructions with a success, but it cycles infinitely because there are no data returned, where the driver expects some. For these cards, we should probably add some check to this cycle and exit in case there are no data returned.

Can you verify that the following scratch build resolves your problem?

https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=14806973

If so, I will update the package in errata.

I tried p11tool using PIV card and a SC650 SCP03 non-CAC card. modutil lists the token info as CAC for the non-CAC cards. I do not see a hang when trying to run p11tool but it does not list the certs either. This is with the following config

vi /etc/opensc-x86_64.conf
# Set the following:
card_drivers = cac, PIV-II;

Attaching the new logs. The log will contain info about a successful attempt using PIV card.

Thank you for testing. The patch was not properly setting the return code so the detection when through successfully for quite much anything.

The next build should handle this case correctly:

I do not see a hang now when using non-CAC/PIV cards but here the difference when using coolkey and opensc. The card I am using here is a not a CAC card.

Comment 21 Jakub Jelen 2017-12-23 21:48:58 UTC
This will probably take some more time to investigate . I see that for the card recognition, it is enough when the card answers positively to select command. Changing this will require more significant changes.

Since we have a workaround (changing order of the card drivers used for identification in configuration file -- does it work with the default configuration?), I would consider the original issue resolved by the last patch (I will update the package as we will agree) and for the new problem, lets open a new bug, saying something like "Card XXX is identified as CAC with configuration preferring CAC cards". There is upstream issue [1] discussion with similar cases which require fallback to different driver late in the initialization phase so I believe there is a way to resolve it, but we will need some more time to do so.

Also please, make sure the configuration you are using knows the card you want it to detect. With configuration "card_drivers = cac, PIV-II;" you limit the functionality to only these two types and others will not get detected!

Is the above build available on nightly compose yet? I do not see it under brew either. Please mark this bug back to ON_QA if the build is available for testing. I shall mark this bug verified and open a new bug for the driver issue.

No, it was just a scratch build that is gone by now. There is a new one:

https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=14854543

At this late, I can not commit new things into dist git unless the bug has a blocker or exception flags. Please, set appropriate flag to ? and we will ask PM for approval.

Comment 24 Jakub Jelen 2018-01-03 12:53:35 UTC
sigh ... I probably had a bad look into the commit policy or it was changed. Anyway, new build it on the way so moving to ON_QA and adding a new build to errata.
