The following errata report has been rejected for RFC5652,
"Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5331

--------------------------------------
Status: Rejected
Type: Technical

Reported by: Thomas Stimm <thomas.stimm@escrypt.com>
Date Reported: 2018-04-23
Rejected by: Eric Rescorla (IESG)

Section: 6.1 and 8

Original Text
-------------
EncryptedData ::= SEQUENCE {
   version CMSVersion,
   encryptedContentInfo EncryptedContentInfo,
   unprotectedAttrs [1] IMPLICIT UnprotectedAttributes OPTIONAL }

EncryptedContentInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
   contentType ContentType,
   contentEncryptionAlgorithm ContentEncryptionAlgorithmIdentifier,
   encryptedContent [0] IMPLICIT EncryptedContent OPTIONAL }


Corrected Text
--------------
EncryptedData ::= SEQUENCE {
   version CMSVersion,
   encryptedContentInfo EncryptedContentInfo,
   encryptedContent [0] IMPLICIT EncryptedContent OPTIONAL,
   unprotectedAttrs [1] IMPLICIT UnprotectedAttributes OPTIONAL }

EncryptedContentInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
   contentType ContentType,
   contentEncryptionAlgorithm ContentEncryptionAlgorithmIdentifier }


Notes
-----
- Wrong enumeration of UnprotectedAttributes OPTIONAL [1] instead of [0]. 
- ‘UnprotectedAttributes OPTIONAL’ makes only sense, if ‘EncryptedContent OPTIONAL’ is available.
- It seems that OpenSSL and wolfSSL are using the suggested wrapping and are not following the RFC, here.
 --VERIFIER NOTES--
