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the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.
No existing code supports gnutls. But there is existing attempt to support OpenSSL [1] in dnsmasq code, which in my opinion would be more interesting for us. I think it is used on some embedded router devices.

Referenced branch builds under OpenSSL 3.0 successfully. Also unlike nettle support, it passes without errors all ciphers test (used bug #1934936 tool). It seems it works nice even for ghost deactivated in openssl.
I found ecdsa validation [1] uses couple of functions deprecated. Is it possible to EVP_PKEY_* variants instead of EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name,
o2i_ECPublicKey, ECDSA_do_verify? How important is not using deprecated functions in OpenSSL 3? Is there any example of higher-level API for ECDSA validation?

Found some example in man EVP_PKEY_fromdata. Problem with that is they are added only in OpenSSL3. Such concept is not yet present in OpenSSL 1.1. For backward compatibility I think current state would be sufficient.
It is too late now for inclusion from 9.0. OpenSSL support already exists, even not official. Should be used instead of creation yet another crypto support.
