Description acount closed by user 2010-01-18 18:18:38 UTC
This version fixes some problems:

    * some certificate authorities do not properly check the requests they are signing and hence allow spoofing via an embedded NUL in the CN entry. Some checks have been added to deal with "bogus" CNs (see below and doc/op/op.*).
    * a workaround for a Linux resolver problem has been added to avoid core dumps.
    * the value of headers, e.g., Precedence, Content-Type, et.al., was not extracted correctly thus preventing them from being recognized properly; leading spaces were not stripped (which was an unintended side effect of an earlier change) and hence comparing them with expected values (e.g., "first-class" for Precedence) did not work.
    * between 8.11.7 and 8.12.0 the length limitation on a return path was erroneously reduced.

While this flaw isn't of overly high severity, we should probably fix it in
Fedora. I'm adding the Security keyword.

Thanks.
