Issue #15561 has been updated by Dustin Mitchell.
OK, then I think that's either a misconfiguration (not including the namecheap CA cert in the puppet configuration, although if that's required it should be documented) or a different bug (puppet uses its internal list of CAs rather than the default from libcurl or something like that when submitting reports via HTTPS). It happened that your use-case showed the error message described in this ticket first, before it got to the "unable to get local issuer certificate" error, which is the real problem for you. @Jeff, how do you think validation of such HTTPS servers should be handled? ---------------------------------------- Bug #15561: Fix for CVE-2012-3867 is too restrictive https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15561#change-87819 * Author: Dustin Mitchell * Status: Merged - Pending Release * Priority: Urgent * Assignee: * Category: SSL * Target version: 3.2.0 * Affected Puppet version: 2.7.18 * Keywords: certificate * Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1556 ---------------------------------------- The fix for CVE-2012-3867 involves checking certificate subjects for "weird" characters. From my read of the CVE entry, this is to filter out characters that would cause the name to display in a manner visually indistinguishable from a valid hostname. However, the check is too restrictive: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Certname "puppetagain base ca/emailaddress=rele...@mozilla.com/ou=release engineering/o=mozilla, inc." must not contain unprintable or non-ASCII characters In particular, / is a very common character in subjects, and should be allowed. Puppet is seeing this subject on my base CA - I'm using certificate chaining. The fix is one character, so I haven't included a patch, but I'm happy to make a pull req if necessary. Another fix would be to only verify certificate subjects for the leaf certificate, and not any of the certs in its signing chain, but that seems less secure. It's also worth noting that the regex is overly broad, since it downcases the string, then accepts A-Z among other characters. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
