Description Hubert Kario 2013-07-15 17:06:03 UTC
Description of problem:
If an OCSP response has thisUpdate set to a very old date (half a year ago) with nextUpdate in the future, the response is still considered trustworthy.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nss-3.14.3-11.el5
nss-tools-3.14.3-11.el5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a CA structure with at least CA and server certificate
2. Run ocspsrvd.jar with "--status GOOD --this-update-offset -0.5y --next-update-offset 1d" options
3. Try to validate server certificate using /usr/lib64/nss/unsupported-tools/ocspclnt -V server -u s

Actual results:
Verification of certificate "server" succeeded.

Expected results:
Verification of certificate "server" failed.  Reason:
The OCSP response contains out-of-date information.
