[Bug 1828215] Re: openssl ca -spkac output regressed

[Steve Langasek]

Hello Dimitri, or anyone else affected,

Accepted openssl into cosmic-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/1.1.1-1ubuntu2.3 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-cosmic to verification-done-cosmic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-cosmic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * openssl command line utility option parsing has regressed in
  1.1.0i+ and produces binary output, where text output is expected,
  breaking applications that parse that.

  [Test Case]

  Setup CA:
  $ apt install openssl
  $ mkdir -p  demoCA/private demoCA/newcerts
  $ touch demoCA/index.txt
  $ echo 01 > demoCA/serial

  $ openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout
  demoCA/private/cakey.pem -out demoCA/cacert.pem

  # Use password test
  # Accept defaults for all other settings

  $ openssl req -new -days 365 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout
  demoCA/sslkey.pem -out demoCA/sslcert.pem

  Generate regular request / key:
  # Use password test
  # Set common name to: example.com
  # Accept defaults for all other settings

  Generate spkac request:
  $ openssl spkac -key demoCA/sslkey.pem -out demoCA/sslcert.spkac
  $ cat <<EOF >>demoCA/sslcert.spkac 
  countryName=AU
  stateOrProvinceName=Some-State
  organizationName=Internet Widgits Pty Ltd
  commonName=example.com
  EOF

  Sign spkac request:
  $ echo test | openssl ca -passin stdin -batch -spkac demoCA/sslcert.spkac -startdate 190121130654Z

  Expected: pure text output
  Unexpected: binary output for the signed cert

  
   Currently produces binary goop.

   Should produce PEM format Base64 encoded certificate data in a block surrounded
   with BEGIN/END certificate.

  [Regression Potential]

   * This is a regression in cosmic and up, and impeding regression in
  bionic with the upcoming 1.1.1 SRU. A bugfix exists upstream.
