While RFC 3779 says we SHOULD mark it is critical, this has severe side effects
in practice. The addrblock extension is not widely used nor implemented, and
only a few applications can handle this extension. By marking it critical,
none of these applications can make use of such certificates where included
addrblocks do not matter, such as TLS/HTTPS.
If an application wants to make use of addrblocks, that is usually an explicit
decision. Then the very same application obviously can handle addrblocks, and
there is no need for the extension to be critical. In other words, for local
policy checks it is a local matter to handle the extension, hence making it
critical is usually not of much help.
This strangely never caused any noticeable issues, but was the reason for
build failures in certain test cases (mostly BLISS) due to missing plugin
features when built with specific options on Travis (was not reproducible
locally).
These options disable validation as such, e.g. even from cached CRLs, not
only the fetching. Also made the plugin's validate() implementation a
no-op if both options are disabled.
BoringSSL only supports a limited list of (hard-coded) algorithms via
EVP_get_cipherbyname(), which does not include AES-GCM. While BoringSSL
deprecated these functions they are also supported by OpenSSL (in BoringSSL
a completely new interface for AEADs was added, which OpenSSL currently does
not support).
In case of an empty LDAP result during a CRL fetch (for example, due to
a wrong filter attribute in the LDAP URI, or invalid LDAP configuration),
the call to ldap_result2error() with NULL value for "entry" lead to
a crash.
Closesstrongswan/strongswan#52.
charon-nm fails to find the private key when its CKA_ID doesn't match the
subjectKeyIdentifier of the X.509 certificate. In such cases, the private
key builder now falls back to enumerating all the certificates, looking for
one that matches the supplied subjectKeyIdentifier. It then uses the CKA_ID
of that certificate to find the corresponding private key.
It effectively means that PKCS#11 tokens where the only identifier to relate
the certificate, the public key, and the private key is the CKA_ID are now
supported by charon-nm.
Fixes#490.
This change allows selectively modifying the default plugin list by setting
the `load` setting of individual plugins (e.g. to disable them or to change
their priority) without enabling charon.load_modular and having to configure
a section and a load statement for every plugin.
