Subject: [PATCH] Relax X509 CA cert sanity checking
Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2021 10:03:42 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211214100342.97856-1-henry.kleynhans@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Henry Kleynhans <hkleynhans@fb.com>
The sanity checking function attempts to validate all the certificates
in the provided CA file. These checks are performed on certificates
which may or may not be part of the signing chain and duplicates checks
that should be performed by the TLS library.
In real life this causes a problem if the certificate chain I want to
use is valid, but there exist another expired certificate in the CA
file.
This patch relaxes the sanity checks to only ensure we have at least one
valid certificate in the CA certificate file and leave the actual
validation to the TLS library.
