32 bit ruby 1.8 cannot load times from SSL certificates past 2038

Added by drbrain (Eric Hodel) about 12 years ago. Updated almost 12 years ago.

Status:
Closed
Target version:
-
ruby -v:
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-08-16 patchlevel 302) [i386-freebsd8]
[ruby-core:42070]

Description

=begin
Since dates past 2038 don't fit in a 32 bit (({time_t})), ruby 1.8's OpenSSL extension cannot load them:

$ cat t.rb
require 'openssl'

cert = OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new <<-CERT
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

$ ruby -v t.rb
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-08-16 patchlevel 302) [i386-freebsd8]
Wed Jan 11 21:44:07 UTC 2012
t.rb:16:in utc': time out of range (ArgumentError) from t.rb:16:in not_after'
from t.rb:16

I've tracked this down to (({ossl_asn1time_to_time()})) in ext/openssl/ossl_asn1.c calling (({Time.utc})):

return rb_funcall2(rb_cTime, rb_intern("utc"), 6, argv);

The certificate is valid:

$ openssl x509 -in t.rb -noout -text

Note that ruby 1.9 on a 32 bit platform doesn't have this problem since Time always has a 64 bit range:

$ ruby19 -v t.rb

Eric, can we close this? The only way to fix this that I see would be to move towards using DateTime internally, but I assume that's too much trouble?

It is arbitrary bit range, not a 64 bit range.

Since ruby 1.8.7 is entering EOL I think it's ok to close this as wontfix.

OK, thanks Eric, I'll close it then!
