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.

Doc Type: Rebase: Bug Fixes and Enhancements
Doc Text:
Cause AET middleware reports support for CKM_RSA_X_590 while failing when requested to use it. Consequence libcacard based virtual card using a real AET middleware on the host fails to do any vcard_emul_rsa_op, failing for example pk11_listcerts. Fix libcacard now handles failure in CKM_RSA_X_590 by falling back to CKM_RSA_PKCS. Result Using AET backed virtual cards works, including pk11_listcerts or any other operation.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2011:1518 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE libcacard and spice-client bug fix and enhancement update 2011-12-06 00:50:43 UTC

Description Alon Levy 2011-07-21 13:37:46 UTC 
Created attachment 514204 [details]
fix for this bug.

Description of problem:
Using a spice smartcard connection with AET middleware doesn't work correctly due to the middleware reporting it supports CKM_RSA_X_509 when it doesn't.

fix is attached. sent to qemu upstream. (qemu mailing list is used for libcacard related fixes since libcacard is part of qemu code repository.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libcacard-0.1.2-2.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start qemu with emulated smartcard (['-chardev', 'spicevmc,id=smartcard,debug=3,name=smartcard', '-device', 'usb-ccid,debug=1,id=ccid', '-device', 'ccid-card-passthru,debug=1,chardev=smartcard'])
2. start spicec with --enable-smartcard
3. smartcard appears in vm, but cannot complete a pk11_listcerts

Actual results:
errors

Expected results:
requests pin and shows certs.

Comment 1 Alon Levy 2011-07-21 13:40:15 UTC 
Adding Rebase keyword. Since the previous version of libcacard (0.1.2-2) the sources have moved from an independent repository to be part of the qemu repository. This was not just a copy operation, but included fixes for reusing qemu infrastructure and applying qemu coding style, and a number of bug fixes have also been done on that code base. As a result a rebase of libcacard is recommended. It will include a fix for this bug.
Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2011-07-21 13:57:52 UTC
