bug#23759: 25.1.50; open-tls-stream creates malformed gnutls-cli command if trusted cert files don't exist |

Using Emacs built from the latest mainline source on Windows 7 (with all
updates applied),
I see this problem:
1. Launch Emacs using: emacs.exe -Q
2. Evaluate this form in buffer *scratch*:
(progn
(require 'tls)
(open-tls-stream "foo" nil "irc.oftc.net" 6697))
After the connection is established, buffer *Messages* shows two failed
connection
attempts using gnutls-cli, followed by a successful connection using openssl:
Opening TLS connection to ‘irc.oftc.net’...
Opening TLS connection with ‘gnutls-cli --x509cafile nil -p 6697
irc.oftc.net’...failed
Opening TLS connection with ‘gnutls-cli --x509cafile nil -p 6697 irc.oftc.net
--protocols ssl3’...failed
Opening TLS connection with ‘openssl s_client -connect irc.oftc.net:6697
-no_ssl2 -ign_eof’...done
Opening TLS connection to ‘irc.oftc.net’...done
Notice switch "--x509cafile nil" passed to gnutls-cli, which cause it to fail
both times.
The root cause has to do with variable tls-program, which has this value:
("gnutls-cli --x509cafile %t -p %p %h"
"gnutls-cli --x509cafile %t -p %p %h --protocols ssl3"
"openssl s_client -connect %h:%p -no_ssl2 -ign_eof")
The docstring for tls-program says that %t is replaced "with a file name
containing
trusted certificates". The names of trusted certificate files come from
variable
gnutls-trustfiles, which has this value:
("/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"
"/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt"
"/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem"
"/usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt"
"/usr/local/share/certs/ca-root-nss.crt")
The docstring for gnutlsw-trustfiles says:
The files may not exist, in which case they will be ignored.
These files do not exist on my Windows system, but the %t in the strings listed
in
variable tls-program is replaced by "nil", which creates a malformed gnutls-cli
command.
I can work around the problem by setting variable tls-program to this list,
which is the
above list without the "--x509cafile %t" in the gnutls-cli commands:
("gnutls-cli -p %p %h"
"gnutls-cli -p %p %h --protocols ssl3"
"openssl s_client -connect %h:%p -no_ssl2 -ign_eof")
If the no trusted cert file is available, the gnutls-cli command needs to be
constructed
more intelligently, so as not to create a malformed command. This problem
seems to be
localized in this code in function open-tls-stream in lisp/net/tls.el:
(with-current-buffer buffer
(message "Opening TLS connection to `%s'..." host)
(while (and (not done) (setq cmd (pop cmds)))
(let ((process-connection-type tls-process-connection-type)
(formatted-cmd
(format-spec
cmd
(format-spec-make
?t (car (gnutls-trustfiles))
?h host
?p (if (integerp port)
(int-to-string port)
port)))))
(message "Opening TLS connection with `%s'..." formatted-cmd)
(setq process (start-process
name buffer shell-file-name shell-command-switch
formatted-cmd))
