Description Florian Weimer 2012-07-31 13:49:24 UTC
OpenSSL and NSS have conflicting result values.  Both are tristate flags, but the flags are different.  Fixing this bug requires recompiling reverse dependencies because the nss_compat_ossl.h header file has to be changed.

The fact that this has not been spotted before strongly suggests that the callers lack proper error checking.

Comment 1 Kamil Dudka 2012-08-10 13:32:01 UTC
Using macro definitions in a public header to wrap functions from an underlying library is bad idea.  We should expose them as functions to avoid troubles like this in the future.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 16:18:41 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle.
Changing version to '23'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 10:42:59 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

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.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 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, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

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.

Comment 9 Florian Weimer 2016-11-24 10:45:36 UTC
The package has been retired.
