Description Christian Heimes 2018-11-09 13:51:09 UTC
Description of problem:
certutil -N (new database) exists with error code 1 although the database is created sucessfully. There is no error message either.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nss-tools-3.39.0-2.fc29.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
$ mkdir /tmp/testdb
$ echo Secret123 > /tmp/testdb/pwdfile.txt
$ certutil -N -d /tmp/testdb/ -f /tmp/testdb/pwdfile.txt 

Actual results:
$ echo $?
1

Expected results:
$ echo $?
0

Additional info:
Database is created successfully
$ ls /tmp/testdb/
cert9.db  key4.db  pkcs11.txt  pwdfile.txt

Comment 1 Christian Heimes 2018-11-09 14:00:17 UTC
It might be related to PKCS#11. After I unplugged my Yubikey, certutil is no longer failing.

Comment 2 Christian Heimes 2018-11-09 14:07:43 UTC
Confirmed, the problem is triggered by my Yubikey NEO and gpg-agent. As soon as gpg-agent process uses my Yubikey for ssh authentication, certutil fails with error code 1.

Reproducer:

* configure a Yubikey NEO to have three GPG keys
* use gpg-agent as ssh-agent
* ssh into another machine using the GPG identity key on the Yubikey NEO
* create a new NSS database with certutil -N  -> certutil exits with error code 1, probably in NSS_shutdown() call.
* kill gpg-agent
* create a new NSS database with certutil -N  -> certutil exits with error code 0

This problem popped up today after I upgraded from F28 to F29. I never had any issues with Yubikey and gpg-agent integration on F28.

Comment 3 Christian Heimes 2018-11-09 14:14:24 UTC
gdb reveals that SECMOD_Shutdown() is failing because it still sees one private module loaded:

Breakpoint 1, SECMOD_Shutdown () at pk11util.c:47
...
91          if (secmod_PrivateModuleCount) {
(gdb) n
92              PORT_SetError(SEC_ERROR_BUSY);
(gdb) n
93              return SECFailure;
(gdb) p secmod_PrivateModuleCount
$1 = 1

Daiki,
can we get this addressed soonest?
It is blocking IdM team development in many cases.
