Your patch does seem to resolve the test case. II have maximised confusion by generating a CSR with the same textual information for EvilCA as EvilServer. I don't think the chain includes any self signed certificates except the root; 73:40:2A:49:4B:AA:69:06:CF:45:F3:24:A6:B6:76:6A:10:97:74:D6 (root, self issued) DC:99:4E:EE:8A:5C:75:D3:C7:5E:03:1E:73:57:F2:C4:C5:89:FD:70 issued by 73:40:2A:49:4B:AA:69:06:CF:45:F3:24:A6:B6:76:6A:10:97:74:D6. 17:49:AA:01:F6:25:85:23:3F:A6:7A:43:D3:97:2A:F8:74:27:89:A0 issued by DC:99:4E:EE:8A:5C:75:D3:C7:5E:03:1E:73:57:F2:C4:C5:89:FD:70. 1F:95:2F:26:9D:E1:37:BD:1F:9C:B5:51:FC:28:9C:EA:9F:1E:C8:B6 issued by 17:49:AA:01:F6:25:85:23:3F:A6:7A:43:D3:97:2A:F8:74:27:89:A0. Modulus of evilca.pem begins with 00:cd:ba:9f and modulus of evilserver.pem begins with 00:af:83:6f, so they are different even if both have Subject: C=SE, ST=EvilServer, L=EvilServer, O=EvilServer, OU=EvilServer, CN=EvilServer. Funnily enough I don't trigger the edge case on regenerated files with correct Subject information. openssl x509 -text -in root.pem | egrep -a1 "X509v3 .* Key Identifier" X509v3 extensions: X509v3 Subject Key Identifier: 73:40:2A:49:4B:AA:69:06:CF:45:F3:24:A6:B6:76:6A:10:97:74:D6 -- -- 73:40:2A:49:4B:AA:69:06:CF:45:F3:24:A6:B6:76:6A:10:97:74:D6 X509v3 Authority Key Identifier: keyid:73:40:2A:49:4B:AA:69:06:CF:45:F3:24:A6:B6:76:6A:10:97:74:D6 openssl x509 -text -in intermediate.pem | egrep -a1 "X509v3 .* Key Identifier" X509v3 extensions: X509v3 Subject Key Identifier: DC:99:4E:EE:8A:5C:75:D3:C7:5E:03:1E:73:57:F2:C4:C5:89:FD:70 -- -- DC:99:4E:EE:8A:5C:75:D3:C7:5E:03:1E:73:57:F2:C4:C5:89:FD:70 X509v3 Authority Key Identifier: keyid:73:40:2A:49:4B:AA:69:06:CF:45:F3:24:A6:B6:76:6A:10:97:74:D6 openssl x509 -text -in evilca.pem | grep -a1 "X509v3 .* Key Identifier" X509v3 extensions: X509v3 Subject Key Identifier: 17:49:AA:01:F6:25:85:23:3F:A6:7A:43:D3:97:2A:F8:74:27:89:A0 -- -- 17:49:AA:01:F6:25:85:23:3F:A6:7A:43:D3:97:2A:F8:74:27:89:A0 X509v3 Authority Key Identifier: keyid:DC:99:4E:EE:8A:5C:75:D3:C7:5E:03:1E:73:57:F2:C4:C5:89:FD:70 openssl x509 -text -in evilserver.pem | egrep -a1 "X509v3 .* Key Identifier" TLS Web Server Authentication X509v3 Subject Key Identifier: 1F:95:2F:26:9D:E1:37:BD:1F:9C:B5:51:FC:28:9C:EA:9F:1E:C8:B6 -- -- 1F:95:2F:26:9D:E1:37:BD:1F:9C:B5:51:FC:28:9C:EA:9F:1E:C8:B6 X509v3 Authority Key Identifier: keyid:17:49:AA:01:F6:25:85:23:3F:A6:7A:43:D3:97:2A:F8:74:27:89:A0 On Thu, Oct 4, 2018 at 12:26 PM Viktor Dukhovni <openssl-users@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > On Wed, Oct 03, 2018 at 07:16:51PM +0200, Peter Magnusson wrote: > > > The following test case attempts to validates evilserver.pem, issued > > by evilca.pem. > > More specifically, we see that in this test the leaf server certificate > has the same subject and issuer, so EXFLAG_SI is set for that > certificate, and it did not count in the path length: > > $ /usr/local/bin/openssl verify -show_chain -verbose -trusted root.pem -untrusted untrusted.pem evilserver.pem > evilserver.pem: OK > Chain: > depth=0: C = SE, ST = EvilServer, L = EvilServer, O = EvilServer, OU = EvilServer, CN = EvilServer (untrusted) > depth=1: C = SE, ST = EvilServer, L = EvilServer, O = EvilServer, OU = EvilServer, CN = EvilServer (untrusted) > depth=2: C = SE, ST = Intermediate, O = Intermediate, OU = Intermediate, CN = Intermediate (untrusted) > depth=3: C = SE, ST = Root, L = Root, O = Root, OU = Root, CN = Root > > but this corner-case is not correct, the concept of "self-issued" > only applies to CAs, so for the leaf to be skipped it would have > the be a self-issued CA.
