Description:- Failure during the validation of CA
certificate path which is provided as an option for 'ssl-ca'
returns two different errors for YaSSL and OPENSSL.
Analysis:- 'ssl-ca', option used for specifying the ssl ca
certificate path. Failing to validate this certificate with
OPENSSL returns an error, "ERROR 2026 (HY000): SSL
connection error: SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_paths failed".
While YASSL returns "ERROR 2026 (HY000): SSL connection
error: ASN: bad other signature confirmation". Error
returned by the OPENSSL is correct since
"SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations()" returns 0 (in case of
OPENSSL) for the failure and sets error as
"SSL_INITERR_BAD_PATHS". In case of YASSL,
"SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations()" returns an error number
which is less than or equal to 0 in case of error. Error
numbers for YASSL is mentioned in the file,
'extra/yassl/include/openssl/ssl.h'(line no : 292). Also
'ssl-ca' does not accept tilde home directory path
substitution.
Fix:- The condition which checks for the error in the
"SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations()" is changed in order to
accommodate YASSL as well. A logic is written in
"mysql_ssl_set()" in order accept the tilde home directory
path substitution for all ssl options.
