* Bugs in gcc 3.0 triggered
* Bugs in gcc triggered
According to a problem report, there are bugs in gcc 3.0 that are
triggered by some of the code in OpenSSL, more specifically in
PEM_get_EVP_CIPHER_INFO(). The triggering code is the following:
- According to a problem report, there are bugs in gcc 3.0 that are
triggered by some of the code in OpenSSL, more specifically in
PEM_get_EVP_CIPHER_INFO(). The triggering code is the following:
header+=11;
if (*header != '4') return(0); header++;
if (*header != ',') return(0); header++;
What happens is that gcc might optimize a little too agressively, and
you end up with an extra incrementation when *header != '4'.

We recommend that you upgrade gcc to as high a 3.x version as you can.

- According to multiple problem reports, some of our message digest
implementations trigger bug[s] in code optimizer in gcc 3.3 for sparc64
and gcc 2.96 for ppc. Former fails to complete RIPEMD160 test, while
latter - SHA one.
The recomendation is to upgrade your compiler. This naturally applies to
other similar cases.
- There is a subtle Solaris x86-specific gcc run-time environment bug, which
"falls between" OpenSSL [0.9.8 and later], Solaris ld and GCC. The bug
manifests itself as Segmentation Fault upon early application start-up.
The problem can be worked around by patching the environment according to
http://www.openssl.org/~appro/values.c.
