Yes. In the past we have seen several similar reports.
Solution: do not specify /dev/urandom with -rand. genrsa will try to read
from /dev/urandom until the end of the file is reached. /dev/urandom has
no end, so you are hanging in an infinite loop.
/dev/urandom is automatically queried by OpenSSL, you can omit the -rand
option if you have /dev/urandom.
Best regards,
