[Bug 209339] New: KMail signature check problem
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=209339 Summary: KMail signature check problem Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: suse-beta@cboltz.de QAContact: kde-maintainers@suse.de KMail showed me the following error message when checking the signature of a mail with Content-Type: multipart/signed; protocol="application/x-pkcs7-signature"; micalg=sha1; The message in the main window was: Nicht genügend Informationen zur Überprüfung der Signatur vorhanden: [Details] Status: Keine Status-Informationen verfügbar. translated: not enough information to check the signature: [details] status: no status information available Clicking [Details], I see the following message: Fehler - Kleopatra Das Krypto-Modul lässt sich nicht initialisieren. Der Zertifikatsmanager wird jetzt beendet. translated: error - Kleopatra The crypto module can't be initialized. The certificate manager will be terminated now. I see two problems here: a) the failed signature check Unfortunately, I don't know why it happens. What I can tell is that I have seen it some days ago with another mail (dunno if it was the same sender). KMail prints on stdout/stderr: gpgmeplug checkMessageSignature status flags: 0 gpgmeplug checkMessageSignature found email: <lists@norrbring.se> gpgmeplug checkMessageSignature found email: <lists@norrbring.se> b) despite of the failed signature check, the mail gets a green border like mails with valid (but non-trusted) signatures. I consider this more critical than the failed signature check because it can make people believe the signature is valid. -> I would expect a yellow border because the signature can't be checked. I'm using KDE and KMail from 10.1 + online updates. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

The "Nicht genügend Informationen..." and even the details message are the same as in 10.1. And KMail still shows a green border... ARGH - I just tested with a test user and got a yellow border. So I guess something in my $HOME is wrong. This will make it hard to reproduce for you :-( (If you have an idea which file could cause this: hints are welcome. If you can tell me how to verify the signature manually, I can also test it. However, I don't plan to move away ~/.kde file by file.) Nevertheless KMail should display a yellow border ;-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Instead, it's displayed as attachment with description "S/MIME Cryptographic Signature" and type "unknown". I checked the KMail settings and found that the S/MIME (gpgsm) backend is disabled for whatever reason. Enabled it again. Result: green border, with text: Es sind nicht genügend Informationen zur Überprüfung der Signatur vorhanden: [Details] Status: Keine Status-Informationen verfügbar. Details ausblenden No Audit Log available Clicking on the [Details] link, Kleopatra shows a certificate with Subject: CN=Thawte Freemail Member,EMAIL=lists@norrbring.se Valid: From Do Sep 28 23:51:22 2006 to Fr Sep 28 23:51:22 2007 -> Expired I fetch GPG keys automatically from a keyserver, maybe I got it this way. (It indeed gets auto-fetched - I just verified this by deleting it in Kleopatra. It was back after clicking the mail again.) Since I now have the certificate, the behaviour is basically OK. I just wonder if the expired certificate should cause a warning. b) new user I see the yellow border as expected - but the [Details] link doesn't do anything. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
