[Mutt] #3339: S/MIME Certificate Import Failures
#3339: S/MIME Certificate Import Failures
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
Reporter: adian | Owner: mutt-dev
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: mutt | Version: 1.5.20
Keywords: smime s/mime smime_keys |
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
When importing a certificate/signature chain included in an email from a
Thunderbird user I was prompted for a label for the certificate, but later
I wasn't able to lookup the user's certificate within mutt.
After digging around, I saw that the 'smime_keys list' command also didn't
show the certificate with the label I gave it. I googled around and found
this page:
http://kb.wisc.edu/middleware/page.php?id=4091
I applied his smime_keys patch and it fixed my problem. It looks like it
might properly traverse a certificate chain, rather than just pulling the
first one. However, I have not looked closely at how the import is done,
so I'm not 100% sure he's implicitly trusting things in a dangerous way.
Please review the changes and apply if it's safe.
I'm running the stock 1.5.20 on Debian unstable right now.
