Official source patch from the OpenSSL project
==============================================
FILENAME: APPLY TO: CONTACT: DATE:
openssl-0.9.1c-bnrec.patch OpenSSL 0.9.1c
[email protected] 03-Mar-1999
DESCRIPTION:
The Big Number (BN) library in OpenSSL 0.9.1c has some problems when dealing
with very large numbers. Because mostly all other OpenSSL sub-libraries
(including the RSA library) are based on BN, this can cause failures when
doing certificate verification and performing other SSL functions. These BN
bugs are already fixed for OpenSSL 0.9.2. But for OpenSSL 0.9.1c the easiest
workaround to fix the subtle problems is to apply the above patch which mainly
disables the broken Montgomery multiplication algorithm inside BN.
PATCH:
Move this file to the top-level directory of a fresh OpenSSL 0.9.1c source
tree and run the command ``patch -p0 <openssl-0.9.1c-bnrec.patch'' from within
this directory.
