As indicated in the subject, certificateListValidate() doesn't validate some valid CRLs. Those CRLs are valid from X.509 point of view, but do not conform to RFC5280 (which is only a profile of the standard).

When no certificate is revoked, the revokedCertificate element SHOULD be omitted, instead of being included as an empty SEQUENCE OF SEQUENCE. RFC5280 has changed the SHOULD into a MUST, but I don't think this is checked by the function. I think it only skips over the next element (in my case, the crlExtensions).

Here's a real-life CRL: certificateRevocationList;binary:: MIIBPTCBpwIBATANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADAkMQswCQY DVQQGEwJGUjEVMBMGA1UEChMMR0lQLUNQUy1URVNUFw0wOTA5MTcxMDEyNTdaFw0xMDA2MjQxMDEy NTdaMACgTTBLMB8GA1UdIwQYMBaAFOH6F/gUI8Xen3tJVqLlQphs5EovMAoGA1UdFAQDAgECMBwGA 1UdEgQVMBOBEWFjLWdpcEBnaXAtY3BzLmZyMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAA4GBAByCwHi4fZG95ScpLO 2HW+5I1zeodXlbTOCgnbLVLLz0WjXXZpa5ecn2aHpqrc5L70UIKBhrk/LJ8+y03UBtx6z1gdGNL3u +rbVQcMgbKJ5AbLojfyWeS4d6n8TZBlM0Wd5eJ6AlwPKRvNV//QH3vjMPVWeD2XYtwQhBYqEGJrvn

You'll see empty SEQUENCEs. Bug probably around line 314 of file schema_init.c, but I don't know openldap internals enough to correct it by myself.

Thanks.
