year 2038 problem in x509-certificate-*-time
Hello,
I was looking at certificate with the guile api and noticed a 2k38 problem with the activation and expiration dates:
cert.pem
is a (self-signed) certificate that expires in 2055:
(use-modules (gnutls)
(ice-9 binary-ports))
(let* ((data (call-with-input-file "cert.pem" get-bytevector-all))
(cert (import-x509-certificate data x509-certificate-format/pem)))
(format #t "Activation: ~a~%Expiration: ~a~%"
(strftime "%c" (gmtime (x509-certificate-activation-time cert)))
(strftime "%c" (gmtime (x509-certificate-expiration-time cert)))))
Output:
Activation: Fri Feb 21 18:31:34 2025
Expiration: Thu Jan 16 12:03:18 1919
Output from gnutls_x509_crt_print
from gnutls (3.8.9) on the same host:
Validity:
Not Before: Fri Feb 21 18:31:34 UTC 2025
Not After: Sun Feb 21 18:31:34 UTC 2055
I am on a x86_64 machine
