Subject: [PATCH] X.509: Fix test for self-signed certificate
Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2016 14:34:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1455197665-11199-1-git-send-email-mmarek@suse.com> (raw)
If either the Subject + subjectKeyId or the Issuer + Serial number
differs between the certificate and the CA, the certificate is not
self-signed. In practice, both will be equal for self-signed
certificates and both will differ for CA-signed certificates. It is only
an issue if the CA used the same serial number for its own self-signed
certificate and the certificate we are checking. This is probably not
valid / recommended, but we should not assume that the certificate is
self-signed because of that.
Fixes: 4573b64a31cd ("X.509: Support X.509 lookup by Issuer+Serial form AuthorityKeyIdentifier")
