Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 1 Alicja Kario 2013-09-19 16:28:20 UTC

Using m2crypto-0.20.2-9.el6.ppc64

Run:

cat > aescryptleak.py<<_EOF_
import M2Crypto

key = M2Crypto.__m2crypto.aes_new()
M2Crypto.__m2crypto.AES_set_key(key, '\x00' * 16, 16 * 8, 1)
M2Crypto.__m2crypto.AES_set_key(key, '\x00' * 16, 16 * 8, 1)
M2Crypto.__m2crypto.AES_set_key(key, '\x00' * 16, 16 * 8, 1)
M2Crypto.__m2crypto.AES_set_key(key, '\x00' * 16, 16 * 8, 1)
M2Crypto.__m2crypto.AES_set_key(key, '\x00' * 16, 16 * 8, 1)
M2Crypto.__m2crypto.AES_set_key(key, '\x00' * 16, 16 * 8, 1)

M2Crypto.__m2crypto.AES_crypt(key, '\x00' * 16, 16, 1)
M2Crypto.__m2crypto.AES_crypt(key, '\x00' * 16, 16, 1)
M2Crypto.__m2crypto.AES_crypt(key, '\x00' * 16, 16, 1)
M2Crypto.__m2crypto.AES_crypt(key, '\x00' * 16, 16, 1)
M2Crypto.__m2crypto.AES_crypt(key, '\x00' * 16, 16, 1)

M2Crypto.__m2crypto.AES_free(key)
_EOF_

Comment 3 Alicja Kario 2013-09-20 12:18:01 UTC

The bug is not present in RHEL6.5-20130905.1 compose while it's present in RHEL6.5-20130913.0 compose. Between those composes m2crypto didn't change, both of them have m2crypto-0.20.2-9.el6 package.

The package that did change was openssl. Trace from valgrind confirms it:

Comment 4 Alicja Kario 2013-09-20 12:22:16 UTC

above traces were obtained using openssl-1.0.1e-11.el6.x86_64 package

Comment 5 Alicja Kario 2013-09-20 12:33:22 UTC

Got the same leaks by just running openssl speed:
