rpki-client 9.7 The Canonical Cache Representation underwent a breaking change after the adoption of https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sidrops-rpki-ccr/ as a SIDROPS working group item.

The program queries the RPKI repository system, downloads and validates Route Origin Authorisations (ROAs) and finally outputs Validated ROA Payloads (VRPs) in the configuration format of OpenBGPD, BIRD, and also as CSV or JSON objects for consumption by other routing stacks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: rpki-client 9.7 The Canonical Cache Representation underwent a breaking change after the adoption of https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sidrops-rpki-ccr/ as a SIDROPS working group item. Apart from several CMS-related cosmetics it now uses a IANA-assigned content type. As a result, rpki-client 9.7 cannot parse rpki- client 9.6's .ccr files and vice versa. Support for Ghostbusters Record objects (RFC 6493) has been removed. Nobody showed interest in deploying this and there are other, widely supported ways of exchanging operational contact information such as RDAP. RFC 6493 is undergoing a status review to be marked ashistoric: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/status-change-rpki-ghostbusters-record-to- historic/ Prepare the code base for the opaque ASN1_STRING structure in OpenSSL 4. Fixed two reliability issues: one where a malicious RPKI Certification Authority can trigger a crash, one where malicious Trust Anchor can provoke memory exhaustion. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Tue Jan 13 2026 Robert Scheck 9.7-1 - Upgrade to 9.7 (#2429390) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #2429390 - rpki-client-9.7 is available https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2429390 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
