Description Marius Vollmer 2023-02-27 12:13:58 UTC

Description of problem:

Any gnutls utility fails during initialization when in FIPS mode.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpmquery gnutls nettle
gnutls-3.7.8-11.fc38.x86_64
nettle-3.8-3.fc38.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. GNUTLS_FORCE_FIPS_MODE=1 gnutls-cli-debug

Actual results:
Error in GnuTLS initialization: Error while performing self checks.
global state initialization error

Expected results:
GnuTLS debug client 3.7.8
Checking localhost:443
Could not connect to 127.0.0.1:443: Connection refused

Additional info:

This is very similar to bug 2099651, which was fixed by rebuilding gnutls, I think.

Comment 4 Daiki Ueno 2023-02-27 16:38:59 UTC

With GNUTLS_DEBUG_LEVEL=10, it says:

gnutls[2]: Calculated MAC for /lib64/libnettle.so.8 does not match
gnutls[3]: ASSERT: ../../lib/fips.c[check_lib_hmac]:383

So gnutls package is rebuilt against older nettle package (3.8-2.fc37), while the latest nettle is 3.8-3.fc38. We have a gating test[1] to prevent this, though it apparently didn't help with mass-rebuild. The updates linked from the above comments should indeed fix the issue.
