I have a server linked (statically) with OpenSSL 1.1.1g (GNU/Linux, 64bit). I built everything myself, I'm not using any system libraries.
I have a test in my test suite that constructs an expired self-signed cert and attempts to use it to connect to the server. When I link my server with OpenSSL 1.1.1g, it is detected properly and I see in the log (this is a construct of various openssl error info): SSL_accept failed: error:14094415:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert certificate expired::0:SSL alert number 45 If I leave EVERYTHING the same about my environment and re-link the server with OpenSSL 1.1.1h instead (just re-linking the binaries with a new static libssl libcrypto), then this expired certificate is no longer detected by the server and the connection succeeds. To be sure I also tried recompiling with the 1.1.1h headers and see the same behavior. I can see that the expiration date is indeed wrong: $ openssl x509 -enddate -noout -in expired/trustStore.pem notAfter=Oct 27 15:58:50 2020 GMT but this is not noticed by my server. Does anyone have any ideas about what I might check to figure out what's happening here? The release notes discuss enabling MinProtocol and MaxProtocol; I do not use these and in fact I don't invoke SSL_CONF_*() at all. Is this an issue? Should I do this?
