Marcelo and I took a look at this... o_init.c in openssl has following constructor, introduced for fips. void __attribute__ ((constructor)) OPENSSL_init_library(void)
OPENSSL_init_library() when OPENSSL_FIPS is defined, calls RAND_init_fips() which eventually calls RAND_poll() which calls time(NULL). This can get called before libfaketime has initialized. Thus the core dump. We noticed following commit in libfaketime that takes care of the constructor situation, https://github.com/wolfcw/libfaketime/commit/0bde083556e243e87bddaaf94e68f2ef85dad769 This commit will allow libfaketime to call its init routine if it has not yet been called. This commit is not in the current version of libfaketime in xenial. I compiled libfaketime in github and tried my testcase and it worked. I used the testcase that was referenced above at https://github.com/wolfcw/libfaketime/issues/93 So we need above commit for libfaketime. ** Bug watch added: github.com/wolfcw/libfaketime/issues #93 https://github.com/wolfcw/libfaketime/issues/93 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1613658 Title: OPENSSL_init_library () crash in conjunction with faketime To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+bug/1613658/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
