Description imaginator 2023-02-09 18:13:16 UTC

After updating OpenSSL to 3.0.8 (from 3.0.7), test "PublicKeyInfrastructure" fails when building/testing QCA-2.3.4 and -2.3.5.  The other tests are OK.  Going back to OpenSSL-3.0.7 fixes the issue.

From the test-log:
[...]
20/25 Testing: PublicKeyInfrastructure
20/25 Test: PublicKeyInfrastructure

System is Linux From Scratch. I hope this is the right place to report this. Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks.

Perhaps this may help you:

When I configure qca-2.3.4/5 with the not recommended
	
	-DQCA_SUFFIX=OFF

then all tests succeed for qca-2.3.4 but for qca-2.3.5 test "Hashing" fails while "PublicKeyInfrastructure" passes:

[...]
      Start  8: Hashing
8/25 Test  #8: Hashing ..........................Subprocess aborted***Exception:   0.34 sec
 [...]
      Start 19: PublicKeyInfrastructure
19/25 Test #19: PublicKeyInfrastructure ..........   Passed    0.00 sec
[...]
 

The question that bothers me a bit is whether the test-failures indicate a security risk when using qca-2.3.4/5 with OpenSSL-3.0.8 or whether just the tests need to be adapted.
BTW: the problem has been confirmed by an other LFS-user. 
Thanks.

looks like an openssl regression to me https://github.com/openssl/openssl/commit/fab4973801bdc11c29c4c8ccf65cf39cbc63ce9b

Thanks. Shows that the tests are important. I hope OpenSSL respond soon.

Thanks. I'll let the LFS-editors know, so that they can add a note for qca that one test is known to fail for qca-2.3.5 and OpenSSL-3.0.8. Or patch the sources according to your commit.
Thanks again.
