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 Paul Wouters 2021-01-07 20:04:08 UTC
Description of problem:

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1682044


pkix_Build_GatherCerts() + pkix_CacheCert_Add() can corrupt "cachedCertTable"


pkix_Build_GatherCerts() has two code paths for creating the list "certsFound":

    pkix_CacheCert_Lookup()
    this sets "certsFound" to a new list
    "certsFound" and "cachedCertTable" share items but not the list

    pkix_CacheCert_Add(pkix_pl_Pk11CertStore_CertQuery())
    this sets "certsFound" to a new list; and then adds the list to "cachedCertTable"
    "certsFound" and "cachedCertTable" share a linked list

Because the latter doesn't create a separate list, deleting list elements from "certsFound" can also delete list elements from within "cacheCertTable". And if this happens while pkix_CacheCert_Lookup() is trying to update the same element's reference, a core dump can result.

upstream patch will be picked up in the rebase.
