+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #813418 +++ NS_IMETHODIMP > nsNSSCertificate::GetIssuer(nsIX509Cert * *aIssuer) > { [...] > issuer = CERT_FindCertIssuer(mCert, PR_Now(), certUsageSSLClient); 1. This should be certUsageSSLClient, at a minimum. 2. The result should be made consistent the second element of the result of calling GetChain. 3. The only user of GetIssuer is checkCert in CertUtils.jsm. The way it uses GetIssuer is bad and can be replaced by use of GetChain. Perhaps #2 and #3 are separate bugs. Please file new bugs if you don't fix them when fixing this bug. > NS_IMETHODIMP > nsNSSCertificate::GetChain(nsIArray **_rvChain) [...] > for (int usage = certificateUsageSSLClient; > usage < certificateUsageAnyCA && !pkixNssChain; > usage = usage << 1) { > if (usage == certificateUsageSSLServer) { > continue; > } > PR_LOG(gPIPNSSLog, PR_LOG_DEBUG, ("pipnss: PKIX attempting chain(%d) for '%s'\n",usage, mCert->nickname)); > srv = certVerifier->VerifyCert(mCert, > certificateUsageSSLClient, PR_Now(), > nullptr, /*XXX fixme*/ > CertVerifier::FLAG_LOCAL_ONLY, > &pkixNssChain); The hard-coded "certificateUsageSSLClient" should be "usage" instead.

NS_ADDREF(*aIssuer = cert); seems to be common as well.

This also applies to CA_bad_ku.

There could be certificates with no issuer, and besides this would change the semantics of the current function. Before my changes no issuer is considered ok.

(it would be more code to do). Another choice for the code is to do only one computation here (in each iteration) by the use of some bitwise magic: const int usagesToAvoid = certificateUsageSSLServer | certificateUsageUserCertImport.. and in the loop: if (usages & usagesToAvoid !=0) continue

What chain is built is not defined but results between issuer and getchain should be consistent.

(It looks like this isn't the case currently, but the implementation could change when our verification library changes, I imagine.) Anyway, we'll know if that happens, so I don't think it's a problem right now.
