[openssl-users] Some S/MIME CMS encrypted messages produce invalid key length when using the debug_decrypt option

The message is first signed then encrypted. Commands are as follows



/usr/bin/openssl cms -encrypt -aes128 -in /tmp/OpenSSL5294490400891792656.eml -out /tmp/OpenSSL3519826551660167644.eml -subject 'subject' -from sender at sender.com -to recipient at recipient.com,recipient2 at recipient.com  -recip cert1.pem -recip cert2.pem -keyopt rsa_padding_mode:oaepI maybe could provide a problematic e-mail including private keys - off the list - due privacy concerns to investigate - would that be acceptable ? If so - what e-mail address can i sent it to

That's odd. What command line are you using to create the messages?

Would it be possible to create a test case that reproduces this error?
