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the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.

- crypto/rand
- PRIMARY_RESEED_* vs SECONDARY_RESEED_* and RAND_get0_public / RAND_get0_private: It looks like that there are 2 DRBGs chained. Although this currently is of no concern, please note that the SP800-90C draft does not allow it. We are working with NIST to allow chained DRBGs though. Yet, please keep a close eye on how things are developing and have plans ready in case chaining is not allowed with the final 90C.
- providers/implementation/drbg
- ossl_crngt_get_entropy: the yet draft SP800-90C requires requested entropy + 128 bits during initial seeding
- ossl_rand_get_entropy: It looks like OpenSSL still implements an internal entropy pool of some size that is hashed to get seed data. Note that this is a conditioning step for which SP800-90C requires 64 additional bits from the entropy source to claim the requested amount of entropy.
Dima: Doesn’t look so for me: in this case we have a temporary object using secure memory to return buffer.
