This PR fixes a race condition that is triggered when
Certificate
orCRL
get instantiated via multiple threads using the lazy initialization method.This happens in following scenario:
Certificate
orCRL
instance is createdCertificate.PEM()
, is called from multiple goroutines. This can happen when e.g. test cases are executed in parallel and they access single shared instance ofCertificate
orCRL
The fix does not attempt to cover explicitly regenerating certificate and key concurrently by calling
Certificate.Generate()
from multiple goroutines. The reason is that it would not be possible to synchronize "accessor" calls such asCertificate.PEM()
with the re-generation, so synchronization would need to be on caller side for this use case.Fixes #47
