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 of problem:
One of the reasons why MariaDB and MySQL components fail to build with OpenSSL 3.x is a change in how context of digest functions can be used.

I understand that using those functions is deprecated, but it doesn't mean it should result in segmentation fault.

MySQL uses for example something like this:

static void my_md5_hash(unsigned char *digest, unsigned const char *buf,
                        int len) {
  MD5_CTX ctx;
  MD5_Init(&ctx);
  MD5_Update(&ctx, buf, len);
  MD5_Final(digest, &ctx);
}

It worked with OpenSSL 1.x but not with 3.x. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openssl-3.0.0-0.alpha16.1.ssl3.x86_64

Created attachment 1784946 [details]
Reproducer extracted from MariaDB 10.5.9

This is another reproducer, this time what MariaDB does, extracted to a standalone file.

Usage:
$ gcc -DHAVE_OPENSSL -lssl -lcrypto md5-reproducer.c && ./a.out 
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

It looks like again, char ctx_buf[EVP_MD_CTX_SIZE]; on stack is a problem with new OpenSSL 3.x.
