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 of problem:
crlutil appears not to make proper use of a password file supplied with its -f switch when importing CRLs into an NSS database which is in FIPS mode.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nss-3.12.9-12.el6_1.i686

For instructions to reproduce problem, actual and expected results, see the upstream bugzilla, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686761

Proposed patch added to Mozilla bug.

The proposed patch was accepted and committed upstream.

Since RHEL 6.2 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

The upstream patch appears to have made it into RHEL 6, thanks to Bug 799192. I've updated nss-util to 3.13.3-2.el6, according to RHSA-2012:0973-04, and gone through the steps to reproduce from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686761. I found that crlutil now works as expected.
