Avg. Score:4.0 ± 0.0

From: fkooman at tuxed dot net Assigned: rdlowrey (profile)
Status: Closed Package: OpenSSL related
PHP Version: trunk-SVN-2011-09-06 (SVN) OS:
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2011-09-06 09:05 UTC] fkooman at tuxed dot net
Description:
------------
CN_match does a case sensitive match to compare the name in the certificate with the name specified in the context. It should be a case insensitive match.


Test script:
---------------
<?php
$uri = 'https://ib-groep.nl/';
$hostname = 'ib-groep.nl';
$context = stream_context_create(array(
    'ssl' => array(
        'verify_peer' => TRUE,
        'allow_self_signed' => FALSE,
        'cafile' => '/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.trust.crt',
        'CN_match' => $hostname
    )
));
$web_content = file_get_contents($uri, FALSE, $context);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
The script should not throw any warning and fill $web_content with the data from the website.

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Warning:  file_get_contents(): Peer certificate CN=`IB-Groep.nl' did not match expected CN=`ib-groep.nl' in /home/fkooman/test.php on line 20

I wouldn't be comfortable using a locale dependent function like strcasecmp() for something as matching names.
 [2011-09-06 11:06 UTC] fkooman at tuxed dot net
Does this locale dependency refer to strcasecmp() or strcasecmp_l()? It seems the former does nothing with the locale?

Another approach might be to use toupper() and tolower() on both the CN_match value and the CN from the certificate...

This behavior has been corrected as of PHP 5.6 for both common name (CN) matches and the newly supported subject alternative name (SAN) matching.
