[openssl-dev] [openssl.org #4429] Cannot decrypt RC4-encrypted CMS object

[Blumenthal, Uri - 0553 - MITLL]

In that bug description I see a reference to code in “enc.c” that aborts
if the cipher is AEAD or XTS (and an offer to submit PR that hasn’t
materialized so far).

Would you be able to elaborate why those checks that forbid AEAD were put
in?
