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 Hubert Kario 2013-07-23 16:51:15 UTC 
Description of problem:
If an OCSP server sends a response with information that the source of revocation information (thisUpdate) is very old, the answer is still trusted.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openssl-1.0.0-27.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a CRL with very old thisUpdate date and no nextUpdate date
2. Start OCSP responder that uses this CRL for revocation information
3. Try to validate certificate using openssl ocsp

Actual results:
Response verify OK
certs/server_cert.pem: good
        This Update: Jan 22 01:40:50 2013 GMT

(while current time is Tue Jul 23 18:41:31 CEST 2013)

Expected results:
specific certificate validation failure

Additional info:
This also happens if the nextUpdate is present and specifies some time in future.
