[PATCH v2 6/6] crypto: fix error reporting in cert chain checks
Posted by Daniel P. Berrangé 1 week, 2 days ago
The loop that checks the CA certificate chain can fail to report
an error message if one of the certs in the chain has an issuer
than is not present in the chain. In this case, the outer loop
'while (checking_issuer)' will terminate after failing to find
the issuer, and no error message will be reported.
