Doc Text: |
Cause:
The FIPS_selftest() library call tries to perform operations that are forbidden for a library working in FIPS mode.
Consequence:
Application calling the method fails FIPS_selftest and reports error or crashes.
Fix:
FIPS_selftest() updated to perform only operations allowed in FIPS mode.
Please note that FIPS_selftest() is not a part of API of the current FIPS module. Calling it is not necessary for FIPS compliance. OpenSSL automatically performs self-tests when it detects that the system is running in FIPS mode.
Result:
Applications that call FIPS_selftest() no longer crash.
