Created attachment 550097 [details] Use the upstream version that works Description of problem: When turning fips mode on an nss databse a seg fault occurs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nss-softokn-3.13.1-14 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. mkdir nssdb 2. certutil -d `pwd`/nssdb -N 3. Enter a password when prompted 4. modutil -dbdir `pwd/nssdb -fips true -force Actual results: A segmentation violation occurs Expected results: No segmantion occurs and "FIPS mode enabled." is printed Additional info: The segfault is due to an unneeded free in BLAPI_SHVerifyFile which should have been removed when we updated nss-softokn to to 3.13.1 but wasn't. The nss-softokn-3.12.4-preelink.patch has this portion: @@ -486,6 +486,9 @@ BLAPI_SHVerifyFile(const char *shName) loser: + if (shName != NULL) { + PR_Free(shName); + } if (checkName != NULL) { PORT_Free(checkName); } which should be removed. The simplest solution is to replace it with the upstream version currently under review
