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.

Doc Type: Deprecated Functionality
Doc Text:
.OpenSSL rejects RSA signatures with X9.31 padding in FIPS mode Because X9.31 RSA signatures were removed from the FIPS 186-5 standard, OpenSSL no longer supports signing or signature verification with RSA keys with X9.31 padding in FIPS mode.

Description Clemens Lang 2022-11-11 17:51:11 UTC
Description of problem:
The current draft version of FIPS 186-5 says in Appendix E:

"ANSI X9.31 was withdrawn, so X9.31 RSA signatures were removed from this standard"

We should reject them or provide an indicator. It's currently unclear whether we will need this right now, or when FIPS 186-5 moves out of draft status.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.0.1-43.el9_0

How reproducible:
Attempt to create or verify an X9.31 signature.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048 -out rsa2048.pem
2. openssl dgst -sha256 -sign rsa2048.pem -sigopt rsa_padding_mode:x931 -out rsa2048.pem.sha256sig rsa2048.pem
3. openssl dgst -sha256 -prverify rsa2048.pem -sigopt rsa_padding_mode:x931 -signature rsa2048.pem.sha256sig rsa2048.pem

Actual results:
Signing succeeds. Verification prints: "Verified OK"

Expected results:
80BB7833A87F0000:error:0200008A:rsa routines:RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1:invalid padding:crypto/rsa/rsa_pk1.c:75:

I'll follow up with the lab on whether this will apply now or later.
