Description Simo Sorce 2019-05-06 13:57:31 UTC

FIPS requires continuous tests of the input to the libraries CSPRNG but the kernel getrandom() (or /dev[u]random) interface does not do it.

Available options is to implement tests in the library or use the kernel AF_ALG DRBG source which wil have these tests implemented in kernel.

Comment 1 Tomas Mraz 2019-05-06 14:00:40 UTC

This should apply in the FIPS mode.

Comment 2 Tomas Mraz 2019-05-07 08:51:51 UTC

I've backported an upstream patch that implements the continuous random test.

Comment 6 bsmejkal 2019-06-26 13:22:15 UTC

Patch is present and correctly applied in openssl-1.1.1c
Marking as Verified:SanityOnly.
