deps: backport openssl patch of alt cert chains 1
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
This a backport of da084a5ec6cebd67ae27f2463ebe4a50bb840fa5 in
https://github.com/openssl/openssl by Matt Caswell <[email protected]> as

In certain situations the server provided certificate chain may no
longer be valid. However the issuer of the leaf, or some intermediate
cert is in fact in the trust store.

When building a trust chain if the first attempt fails, then try to
see if alternate chains could be constructed that are trusted.

deps: backport openssl patch of alt cert chains 2

This a backport of 15dba5be6a4482a9ad7e5b846291f31e97e338ca in
https://github.com/openssl/openssl by Matt Caswell <[email protected]> as

Add flag to inhibit checking for alternate certificate chains. Setting this
behaviour will force behaviour as per previous versions of OpenSSL

Good news @shigeki @bnoordhuis ! This patch is going to be backported to 1.0.2 branch!

@indutny Yes, I've found them on git repository. We need not to apply private patches from 1.0.2b.
I also found an another backported patch in openssl/openssl@47daa15 . I wonder if this is needed in 1.0.2a since there is no loop for a cert chain in checking a issuer in 1.0.2a where there is one in master as https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/crypto/x509/x509_vfy.c#L538-L544 . But I might have missed something.

@shigeki I'd stay close with the 1.0.2b anyway, but I do see your argument. :) Let's update to it once it'll be released, I think it should happen soon.

@indutny Let's wait it until 1.0.2b. I'm just wondering if we need to apply the new backported patch to iojs immediately.

@shigeki doesn't seem to be necessary. I'll ask Matt about the purpose of this patch.

@shigeki according to Matt it was backported by mistake! Good catch, man!
