One happy person created an issue: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/issues/1731
Hello developers, I have recently been using the verify command in GnuTLS with CRL enabled. It seems to me that GnuTLS does not check the validity of the CRL itself. May I ask if the verify command in GnuTLS performs a check on the validity of the CRL used?
Test case (the CRL is not shown to have issues even when the issuer field of the CRL does not match the CRL issuer certificate):
[ca1.pem](/uploads/dd1f435570f436b26e19e56175e0d056/ca1.pem)
[crl_file_wrong_issuer.pem](/uploads/a4818db717404992e3bfc4eb1ed21a20/crl_file_wrong_issuer.pem)
[root_cert_1.pem](/uploads/03957b9755bdd01c1f0ee1695b87ca7f/root_cert_1.pem)
command:
certtool --verify --load-crl=crl_file_wrong_issuer.pem --load-ca-certificate=root_cert_1.pem < ca1.pem
