The following errata report has been submitted for RFC5912,
"New ASN.1 Modules for the Public Key Infrastructure Using X.509 (PKIX)".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=5912&eid=3259

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: James Manger <james.h.mannger@team.telstra.com>

Section: 4

Original Text
-------------
CRLReason ::= INTEGER

Corrected Text
--------------
IMPORTS
CRLReason
FROM PKIX1Implicit-2009

Notes
-----
CRLReason is correctly defined in section 14 "ASN.1 Module for RFC 5280, Explicit and Implicit" as:
  CRLReason ::= ENUMERATED { … }

It is incorrectly re-defined in section 4 "ASN.1 Module for RFC 2560" (OCSP) as an INTEGER. It should import the correct definition instead.
ENUMERATED and INTEGER are similar, but not the same. They are BER-encoded differently (with a tags of 0x0A and 0x02 respectively).

Instructions:
-------------
This errata is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party (IESG)
can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.
