OpenSSL Core Dump Errors

[Prakash Babu]

Hello All,
           I get 3 core dump errors while using the openssl command line tool.
 
Error 1:
1) I generated a self signed certificate using the following command
openssl req -x509 -out ca_cert.pem -new -keyout cacert_priv_key.pem -subj /C=US/ST=California/L=Cupertino/O=test/CN=myname
-nodes
2)I parse it using the asn1parse command and specified the offset value of type NULL
openssl asn1parse -in ca_cert.pem  -strparse 29
Memory fault(coredump)
 
Error 2:
1)Specifying 100000000 as the multi count value for the speed command
openssl speed -multi 100000000
+DT:md2:3:16
Memory fault(coredump)
 
Note:After the core dump the openssl process keeps on running

Error 3:
1)I generated an rsakey  using the following command
openssl genrsa -out rsakey
2)I tried to convert it to pkcs8 standard using rc4 as the v2 algorithm
openssl pkcs8 -in rsakey -topk8 -v2 rc4
Enter Encryption Password:
Verifying - Enter Encryption Password:
Memory fault(coredump)
 
Note:it accepts and verifies the password but fails during encryption
 
My question why am i not getting a failure message but a coredump error.
 
Thanks,
Prakash
