From: Guilhem Moulin Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2024 03:32:04 +0200 Subject: Fix post-issuance validation logic Rather than adding intermediates in the certificate bundle we now validate the leaf certificate with intermediates as untrusted (used for chain building only). Only the root certificates are used as trust anchor. Not pining intermediate certificates anymore is in line with Let's Encrypt's latest recommendations: Rotating the set of intermediates we issue from helps keep the Internet agile and more secure. It encourages automation and efficiency, and discourages outdated practices like key pinning. “Key Pinning” is a practice in which clients — either ACME clients getting certificates for their site, or apps connecting to their own backend servers — decide to trust only a single issuing intermediate certificate rather than delegating trust to the system trust store. Updating pinned keys is a manual process, which leads to an increased risk of errors and potential business continuity failures. — https://letsencrypt.org/2024/03/19/new-intermediate-certificates: Origin: https://git.guilhem.org/lacme/commit/?id=9cb882a468843bf8ce9598de8769d5baaaaae3ea Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/1072847 --- Makefile | 8 ++----- lacme | 7 +++++- tests/cert-install | 67 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ 3 files changed, 61 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 16ac04e..523d289 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -16,17 +16,13 @@ $(MANUAL_FILES): $(BUILDDIR)/%: $(BUILDDIR)/%.md # used for validation, see https://letsencrypt.org/certificates/ $(BUILDDIR)/certs/ca-certificates.crt: \ certs/isrgrootx1.pem \ - certs/isrg-root-x2.pem \ - certs/lets-encrypt-r[34].pem \ - certs/lets-encrypt-e[12].pem + certs/isrg-root-x2.pem mkdir -pv -- $(dir $@) cat -- $^ >$@ # Staging Environment for tests, see https://letsencrypt.org/docs/staging-environment/ $(BUILDDIR)/certs-staging/ca-certificates.crt: \ - certs-staging/letsencrypt-stg-root-x[12].pem \ - certs-staging/letsencrypt-stg-int-r[34].pem \ - certs-staging/letsencrypt-stg-int-e[12].pem + certs-staging/letsencrypt-stg-root-x[12].pem mkdir -pv -- $(dir $@) cat -- $^ >$@ diff --git a/lacme b/lacme index 731535f..34f4415 100755 --- a/lacme +++ b/lacme @@ -826,9 +826,14 @@ elsif ($COMMAND eq 'newOrder' or $COMMAND eq 'new-cert') { # verify certificate validity against the CA bundle if ((my $CAfile = $conf->{CAfile} // '@@datadir@@/lacme/ca-certificates.crt') ne '') { + my $chain_tmp = File::Temp::->new(SUFFIX => '.crt', TMPDIR => 1) // die; + $chain_tmp->printflush($x509); + my %args = (in => $x509); $args{out} = \*STDERR if $OPTS{debug}; - my @options = ('-trusted', $CAfile, '-purpose', 'sslserver', '-x509_strict'); + my @options = ('-trusted', $CAfile); + push @options, '-untrusted', $chain_tmp->filename(); + push @options, ('-purpose', 'sslserver', '-x509_strict'); push @options, '-show_chain' if $OPTS{debug}; if (spawn(\%args, 'openssl', 'verify', @options)) { print STDERR "[$s] Error: Received invalid X.509 certificate from ACME server!\n"; diff --git a/tests/cert-install b/tests/cert-install index f2147d2..69faae4 100644 --- a/tests/cert-install +++ b/tests/cert-install @@ -28,6 +28,55 @@ EOF grepstderr -Fxq "[bad3] Warning: Couldn't generate CSR, skipping" +check_spki() { + local p1="$1" p2="$2" s1 s2 + s1="$(openssl x509 -in "$p1" -noout -pubkey \ + | openssl pkey -pubin -outform DER \ + | openssl dgst -sha256 \ + | sed 's/.*=\s*//')" + s2="$(openssl pkey -in "$p2" -pubout -outform DER \ + | openssl dgst -sha256 \ + | sed 's/.*=\s*//')" + if [ -n "$s1" ] && [ "$s1" = "$s2" ]; then + return 0 + else + printf "%s != %s\\n" "$s1" "$s2" >&2 + return 1 + fi +} +check_chain() { + local priv="$1" chain="$2" leaf="${3-}" pem0 + + csplit -f "${chain%.crt}.chain.pem" "$chain" \ + "/-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----/" "{*}" + + pem0="${chain%.crt}.chain.pem00" + if [ !
