Package: stunnel4
Version: 3:4.40-1
Severity: normal

I use certificate verification with stunnel4 (verify=2 in
stunnel.conf).
I accidentally changed the access rights of a PEM file required for
verification to be unreadable. As a consequence, stunnel4 incorrectly
reports "Verification error: self signed certificateVerification
error: self signed certificate" (the cert in question is not
self-signed), then segfaults.

With stunnel4 version 4.29-1_i386, this does not occur: stunnel4
correctly reports that it cannot access the PEM file.

Log and backtrace (generated with setting foreground=yes in
stunnel.conf):
