2. A warning about proxy certificates
-Noone seems to have tested proxy certificates with security in mind.
-Basically, to this date, it seems that proxy certificates have only
-been used in a world that's highly aware of them. What would happen
-if an unsuspecting application is to validate a chain of certificates
-that contains proxy certificates? It would usually consider the leaf
-to be the certificate to check for authorisation data, and since proxy
-certificates are controlled by the EE certificate owner alone, it's
-would be normal to consider what the EE certificate owner could do
-with them.
+No one seems to have tested proxy certificates with security in mind. To this
+date, it seems that proxy certificates have only been used in a context highly
+aware of them.
-subjectAltName and issuerAltName are forbidden in proxy certificates,
-and this is enforced in OpenSSL. The subject must be the same as the
-issuer, with one commonName added on.
+Existing applications might misbehave when trying to validate a chain of
+certificates which use a proxy certificate. They might incorrectly consider the
+leaf to be the certificate to check for authorisation data, which is controlled

-Possible threats are, as far as has been imagined so far:
+subjectAltName and issuerAltName are forbidden in proxy certificates, and this
+is enforced in OpenSSL. The subject must be the same as the issuer, with one
+commonName added on.
+
+Possible threats we can think of at this time include:
- impersonation through commonName (think server certificates).
- - use of additional extensions, possibly non-standard ones used in
- certain environments, that would grant extra or different
- authorisation rights.
+ - use of additional extensions, possibly non-standard ones used in certain

-For this reason, OpenSSL requires that the use of proxy certificates

- X509_STORE_CTX_set_flags(ctx, X509_V_FLAG_ALLOW_PROXY_CERTS);
+ Where ctx is the pointer which then gets passed to X509_verify_cert().
