Title:
Gnome GCR won't unlock p12 certificate with password length > 31
characters
Status in GCR:
Confirmed
Status in gcr package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I am unable to import a p12 s/mime certificate using gcr if the
certificate is encrypted with a password containing 32 or more
characters. When trying to unlock the certificate, gcr responds as if
the password entered was incorrect.
I imagine somewhere a 32-byte variable is being used for the password
string, but that is just a guess.
Process to reproduce:
Export a certificate from Firefox/Thunderbird (or generate your own).
Encrypt it with the password '1234567890123456789012345678901' (31
characters).
Open with gcr and unlock successfully.
Export the same certificate.
Encrypt it with the password '12345678901234567890123456789012' (32
characters).
Open with gcr and unlock. Password is rejected.

gcr:
Installed: 3.10.1-1
Candidate: 3.10.1-1

3. I expected the 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, and 40 length passwords to be
accepted and the certificate to be imported.
4. Only the certificates with password lengths of 31 characters or
fewer were unlocked and imported . Certificates with 32 characters or
more resulted in the error message "The password was incorrect" when
trying to unlock, even though the password was, in fact, correct.
