Multiple TLS libraries can bypass delegation enforcement
Overview This note covers thirteen library-specific records (VU#948176.6, .8–.19) of how widely used TLS libraries apply X.509 Name Constraints. The records describe cases where a constrained name may be accepted by one library and rejected by another. Some are fixed, some remain under review, and some were not accepted as security issues. Description Name Constraints are meant to keep a subordinate CA inside an allowed namespace. The records cover several name forms and do not all have the same classification. VU#948176.7 does not exist. DNS case-sensitivity and wildcards. While RFC 5280 requires case-insensitive DNS matching, it does not explicitly define wildcard Subject Alternative Name
