[openssl-users] [openssl-dev] Low level API call to digest SHA1 forbidden in FIPS mode - within openssl code

[Glen Matthews]

Hi

Right, sorry about the wrong posting - and thanks.

The message is correct - we got this in the 1.0.2f tree and are still getting in in the 1.0.2g tree.

I notice that in crypto\x509v3\v3_purp.c there is this:

    if (x->ex_flags & EXFLAG_SET)
        return;
#ifndef OPENSSL_NO_SHA
    X509_digest(x, EVP_sha1(), x->sha1_hash, NULL);
#endif

We haven't disabled SHA1 because we need it for our ssh implementation. From what I've been reading, the code should not be calling with EVP_sha1().

This is a question about using the OpenSSL libraries; should be in openssl-users, copied and reply-to'd.

We're receiving this assertion at the start of negotiating an SSL connection:

c:\s\15\src\openssl\build\openssl-1.0.2f\crypto\sha\sha_locl.h(128): OpenSSL internal error, assertion failed: Low level API call to digest SHA1 forbidden in FIPS mode!

I notice the assertion message mentions a header from what looks like a 1.0.2f tree, but the references below are all to a 1.0.2g tree. I've no idea if this is relevant to the problem, but I wonder if this is a self-consistent build of the libraries.


The last 2 lines of this stack trace shows that we are performing a BIO_read at this point.

How can we work around this issue? We're using the self-validated FIPS module and openssl 1.0.2g.
