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.

Fixed In Version: wget-1.12-4.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Previously wget was missing support for Server Name Indication (SNI). Consequence: As a result, wget was not able to successfully validate certificated from server that used SNI, even if the certificate was valid. Fix: The SNI support has been ported to the wget distributed in RHEL-6. Result: As a result, wget is now able to successfully validate certificate from server that uses SNI, if the certificate is valid.

However this is true, your problem might be caused by something else.
wget-1.12-1.4.el6 does NOT support subjectAltName field in certificates
introduced in X.509v3 specification. (Bug #736445)

I will leave this Bug open so it can get fixed in the future.

Comment 4 Graham Leggett 2013-02-11 19:14:26 UTC 
This particular bug is an SNI bug, and has nothing to do with subjectAltName. The svn.example.org cert (obviously not it's real name) is a domain validated cert from Thawte, which contains no subjectAltName entries.

I did NOT see the certificate your wget is getting therefore I just stated
there might be also another reason why you are getting this error.

Then this is for sure SNI related bug. Thank you for clarification.
Comment 6 Graham Leggett 2013-02-12 20:17:53 UTC 
Just to clarify, the bug was raised after an analysis determined SNI not be working, it wasn't a request for support. Switching wget away and replacing it with curl (which does support SNI) worked around our specific problem for now.
Comment 7 RHEL Program Management 2013-10-13 23:58:06 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated

request at this time.

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