Hello, I have been chasing this issue for a while now, but have not been able to reproduce myself. I am using OpenSSL 0.9.8n.
We see that the HTTPS (apache) crashes (don't know the exact reason). We have been able to get core files of the crashes and have the backtrace for them Below are some of them. It seems that the crash is always during EC_KEY_generate_key part of "Server Key Exchange" message. Has anybody seen this before? Any help will be appreciated.
