concatenate two CRL's

2011-11-15 Thread Olivier Sessink
Hi all,

on various sources on the internet I found that it is possible to
concatenate two X509 CRL's together.

cat file1.pem file2.pem  combined.pem

However, if I run
openssl crl -in combined.pem -text -noout
I see only the revoked certificates from file1.pem

Is this not supported? Should I use a different command? Is this a bug?

Thanks for your help,
Olivier

2011/11/15 Jakob Bohm jb-open...@wisemo.com:
 The concatenation of two digitally signed CRLs is not a
 valid digitally signed CRL.  Some applications may
 happen to have code to explicitly support this hack, but
 that ability could actually be a security hole as an enemy
 could concatenate an outdated and a current CRL, fooling
 such applications into thinking the revocations in the old
 CRL still apply (Which would be relevant if a CA
 temporarily revokes half-issued certificates as part of its
 procedures).
