Does RHEL publish the source of their fork somewhere? In OpenSSL 1.1.1 the
code for FIPS_mode is:
int FIPS_mode(void)
{
/* This version of the library does not support FIPS mode. */
return 0;
}
Do you know if RHEL patched OpenSSL to allow FIPS_mode() to return other than 0
or if that function is useless regardless?
