enhancements for stunnel-4.20
From Bob Relyea: The MD4 code will not work. (It will crash in PK11_DigestBegin when you pass a NULL pointer. NSS does not support MD4). We should check how MD4 is being used. If it's NLTM, then we should plan on moving it to a generic NLTM library. (we may want to put the NLTM library in the nss_compat_oss library maybe... The DES code will work, except in FIPS mode. I'm not sure we want to encourage use of this kind of API. The problem is the API is taking an explicit key (which means the application has direct access to key material). This is a big no-no from both a hygiene an a FIPS perspective. The correct thing to do is look at where the key is coming from and force that into the full NSS model. We now know that the DES code is used for NTLM. This means bug 263241 is relevant. Committed the patch excluding the DES and MD4 code. Sending src/nss_compat_ossl.h Sending src/rand.c Sending src/ssl.c Transmitting file data ... Committed revision 50. The set of changes committed in #4 will appear in nss_compat_ossl-0.9.2-1 Bob, is there a better way (read FIPS-compatible) to add DES support? Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported during the development of Fedora 8. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are changing the version of this bug to '8'. If this bug still exists in rawhide, please change the version back to rawhide. (If you're unable to change the bug's version, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help and we apologize for the interruption. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again. Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
