Please review the patches attached with fix ticket 219 for DogTag branches - 8.1_Errata and 8.2. The description about the ticket is attached below. --Abhishek Koneru Defect description: The serial number generated for certificates is wrong when the number is large. Problem is due to the conversion of BigInteger to integer while generating a new serial number, which truncates the most significant bits in the serial number and therefore a large number (eg. 10fff0001) becomes a smaller number (eg. fff0001). This conversion in turn leads to a collision if a certificate with the smaller number exists in the database. Steps to reproduce the defect: - Create a CA. - (1) - Edit the fields minSerialNumber and maxSerialNumber in the <CA-Installation Path>/conf.CS.cfg to large values like 100000000 and 110000000. - Restart the CA. - Configure the CA. - Create a new CA. - Configure this as a clone to (1)CA - After the Certificates are generated, view the serial number by clicking on "View Certificate in PrettyPrint". Results: Before the patch is applied: The serial number is truncated.(Wrong) After the patch is applied: The serial number is found as expected.
