	The current choice of lifetime for the autogenerated X.509 of 100 years, putting the validTo date in 2112, causes problems on 32-bit systems where a 32-bit time_t wraps in 2106. 64-bit x86_64 systems seem to be unaffected. This can result in something like: Loading module verification certificates X.509: Cert 6e03943da0f3b015ba6ed7f5e0cac4fe48680994 has expired MODSIGN: Problem loading in-kernel X.509 certificate (-127) Or: X.509: Cert 6e03943da0f3b015ba6ed7f5e0cac4fe48680994 is not yet valid MODSIGN: Problem loading in-kernel X.509 certificate (-129) Instead of turning the dates into time_t values and comparing, turn the system clock and the ASN.1 dates into tm structs and compare those piecemeal instead.

2012-10-08	X.509: Add a crypto key parser for binary (DER) X.509 certificates	David Howells	1	-0/+36
	Add a crypto key parser for binary (DER) encoded X.509 certificates. The certificate is parsed and, if possible, the signature is verified. An X.509 key can be added like this: # keyctl padd crypto bar @s </tmp/x509.cert 15768135 and displayed like this: # cat /proc/keys 00f09a47 I--Q--- 1 perm 39390000 0 0 asymmetri bar: X509.RSA e9fd6d08 [] Note that this only works with binary certificates. PEM encoded certificates are ignored by the parser. Note also that the X.509 key ID is not congruent with the PGP key ID, but for the moment, they will match. If a NULL or "" name is given to add_key(), then the parser will generate a key description from the CertificateSerialNumber and Name fields of the TBSCertificate: 00aefc4e I--Q--- 1 perm 39390000 0 0 asymmetri bfbc0cd76d050ea4:/C=GB/L=Cambridge/O=Red Hat/CN=kernel key: X509.RSA 0c688c7b [] Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
