Bug#843682: openssl: 'openssl dsaparam 2048 -out file' hangs, trying to read from stdin

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: openssl
Version: 1.1.0b-2
Severity: serious

Hi,

I just noticed that the sendmail postinst hangs on 

  openssl dsaparam 2048 -out file

Running it under strace makes it stop with

[...]
fstat(0, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(136, 29), ...}) = 0
read(0,

Downgrading to 1.0.2 makes this command work fine again.
