Crash when using local_pck_url on Azure since v1.20

[thomasten]

Update: this is fixed with DCAP 1.21 release.

Hi, I use the default QPL in an Azure VM. With this config https://github.com/intel/SGXDataCenterAttestationPrimitives/blob/master/QuoteGeneration/qcnl/linux/sgx_default_qcnl_azure.conf I get the following crash:

Without local_pck_url configured, it works. Downgrading to v1.19 also works.

What distro and version are you running?

This happens on all distros I tried: Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04, RHEL 9.2

I encountered exactly the same symptoms on an Azure VM (DCsv3, Ubuntu 22.04), so I will provide several logs as a supplement.

Output of journalctl -xe after crash：

Error in sgx_qe_get_target_info. 0xe040

The crash appears to occur in the sgx_qe_get_target_info function. As Thomasten said, this problem can be temporarily avoided by either not setting local_pck_url or by downgrading libsgx-dcap-default-qpl to 1.19.

It would be helpful if you could share your progress in resolving this issue.

I can confirm that this is fixed with DCAP 1.21 release.
