[openssl-dev] [openssl.org #4514] [BUG] PKCS12_key_gen_uni() crashes when used with Blake

Hi Rich,

> OpenSSL doesn't promise to protect against all such errors :)
Really ? I'm a bit surprise that you don't care to allow to divide by zero...
Especially when it's not a big work to prevent such a case.
It's up to you.

> block size of zero is nonsensical
Zero is the block size returned for Blake digests. 
And nothing prevents them to be used with PKCS12_key_gen_uni(), and certainly *NOT* the documentation !
;-)

Anyway, it's not a problem for me.

Ah, a slippery slope. We do not check for NULL pointers, and similarly a block size of zero is nonsensical. I am closing this as it's really a caller error.
It has more than enough of its own to worry about.
