Non FIPS algorithms are not normally allowed in FIPS mode.
Any attempt to use them via high level functions will return an error.
The low level non-FIPS algorithm functions cannot return errors so they
produce assertion failures. HMAC also has to give an assertion error because
it (erroneously) can't return an error either.
There are exceptions (such as MD5 in TLS and non cryptographic use of
algorithms) and applications can override the blocking and use non FIPS
algorithms anyway.
For low level functions the override is perfomed by prefixing the algorithm
initalization function with "private_" for example private_MD5_Init().
For high level functions an override is performed by setting a flag in
the context.
around them.
NOTE: because two new locks are added, this adds potential binary
incompatibility with earlier versions in the 0.9.7 series. However,
those locks will only ever be touched when FIPS_mode_set() is called
and after, thanks to a variable that's only changed from 0 to 1 once
(when FIPS_mode_set() is called). So basically, as long as FIPS mode
hasn't been engaged explicitely by the calling application, the new
locks are treated as if they didn't exist at all, thus not becoming a
problem. Applications that are built or rebuilt to use FIPS
functionality will need to be recompiled in any case, thus not being a
problem either.
OpenSSL-fips-0_9_7-stable.
Since the 0.9.7-stable branch is supposed to be in freeze and should
only contain bug corrections, this change removes the FIPS changes
from that branch.
sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
opensslconf.h.
I've checked fairly well that nothing breaks with this (apart from
external software that will adapt if they have used something like
NO_KRB5), but I can't guarantee it completely, so a review of this
change would be a good thing.
