This commit is causing a change of behaviour for me against the Apache svn repo. I think there is an error in this code.
The error I get when trying to run a merge into an svn trunk WC from an svn branch is: $ svn merge --non-interactive ^/subversion/branches/fsfs-ucsnorm/ /home/julianfoad/src/subversion-c/subversion/svn/util.c:548, /home/julianfoad/src/subversion-c/subversion/libsvn_client/merge.c:11811, /home/julianfoad/src/subversion-c/subversion/libsvn_client/merge.c:12465, /home/julianfoad/src/subversion-c/subversion/libsvn_client/ra.c:474, /home/julianfoad/src/subversion-c/subversion/libsvn_client/ra.c:453, /home/julianfoad/src/subversion-c/subversion/libsvn_ra/ra_loader.c:485: (apr_err=SVN_ERR_RA_CANNOT_CREATE_SESSION) svn: E170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk' /home/julianfoad/src/subversion-c/subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/serf.c:593, /home/julianfoad/src/subversion-c/subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/options.c:491, /home/julianfoad/src/subversion-c/subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/util.c:941, /home/julianfoad/src/subversion-c/subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/util.c:915, /home/julianfoad/src/subversion-c/subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/util.c:880, /home/julianfoad/src/subversion-c/subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/util.c:431, /home/julianfoad/src/subversion-c/subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/util.c:413: (apr_err=SVN_ERR_RA_SERF_SSL_CERT_UNTRUSTED) svn: E230001: Server SSL certificate verification failed: certificate issued for a different hostname > Author: breser > Date: Fri Feb 7 04:32:50 2014 > New Revision: 1565531 > > URL: http://svn.apache.org/r1565531 > Log: > ra_serf: Do not compare the CommonName of a certificate if there are > subjectAltName extensions of the DNS type when validating the certificate > as per RFC 2818. > > * subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/util.c > (ssl_server_certificate): add a boolean to know if there were san > entries, skip the CN match if there were and move the failure > flag outside of the CN match code. > > Modified: > subversion/trunk/subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/util.c > > Modified: subversion/trunk/subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/util.c > URL: > http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/subversion/trunk/subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/util.c?rev=1565531&r1=1565530&r2=1565531&view=diff > ============================================================================== > --- subversion/trunk/subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/util.c (original) > +++ subversion/trunk/subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/util.c Fri Feb 7 04:32:50 2014 > @@ -225,6 +225,7 @@ ssl_server_cert(void *baton, int failure > ### This should really be handled by serf, which should pass an error > for this case, but that has backwards compatibility issues. */ > apr_array_header_t *san; > + svn_boolean_t found_san_entry; > > serf_cert = serf_ssl_cert_certificate(cert, scratch_pool); > > @@ -232,6 +233,7 @@ ssl_server_cert(void *baton, int failure > /* Try to find matching server name via subjectAltName first... */ > if (san) { Here, "san" is false (no SubjectAltName found), so found_san_entry remains uninitialized... > int i; > + found_san_entry = san->nelts > 0; > for (i = 0; i < san->nelts; i++) { > const char *s = APR_ARRAY_IDX(san, i, const char*); > if (apr_fnmatch(s, conn->session->session_url.hostname, > @@ -243,8 +245,11 @@ ssl_server_cert(void *baton, int failure > } > } > > - /* Match server certificate CN with the hostname of the server */ > - if (!found_matching_hostname) > + /* Match server certificate CN with the hostname of the server iff > + * we didn't find any subjectAltName fields and try to match them. > + * Per RFC 2818 they are authoritative if present and CommonName > + * should be ignored. */ > + if (!found_matching_hostname && !found_san_entry) > { ... and here we skip this block because found_san_entry is -134885336 i.e. "true".
