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.

Description Bob Relyea 2020-08-20 23:16:40 UTC
FIPS guidance now requires self-tests for our kdfs. It also requires self-tests for cmac which we didn't have in the cmac patch.

Currently only one test per kdf is necessary. Specifially for SP-800-108, only
one of the three flavors are needed (counter, feedback, or pipeline). HKDF is currently not included in FIPS, but is on track to be included, so hkdf should be included in this patch.

KDF's:
SP-800-108 (softoken/kbkdf.c)
pbkdf (softoken/lowpbe.c)
IKE (softoken/sftkike.c)
TLS KDF (freebl/tlsprfalg.c)
HDKDF (softoken/pkcs11c.c)

CMAC: (freebl/cmac.c)

Comment 2 Bob Relyea 2020-08-20 23:20:09 UTC
Proposed AC: Sanity Only.

Selftests will either succeed or fail. If they fail, then and tests in FIPS mode will fail (including tests in all.sh).

Comment 3 Bob Relyea 2020-08-20 23:21:41 UTC
Ivan, could you review the AC and give the QA ack if you are happy with it?
