Hi,

I notice a bug report on Bugzilla [1]. Quoting from it:

<snip>
Not related to
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215750 but I *feel*
that this code needs a hug.

See Bugzilla for the full thread.

AFAIK, this looks like a bug when the kernel is compiled against
custom (non-system) version of OpenSSL library.


I do not know what you could possibly mean. There is nothing "custom"
about OpenSSL. For that matter the gcc compiler I am using was also
built by me. Works fine. The sign-file.c source compiles fine.

This has all the hallmarks of an openssl compiled without engine
support; is the symbol OPENSSL_NO_ENGINE set? And which distro did you
get this library from?

I am looking into this. The code will likely age into some deprecated
calls and I think that I may be way out on the edge here. However the
code will need a pile of ifndef stuff and then call the correct future
looking calls for OpenSSL 3.x etc etc etc ... the usual stuff
