[Bug 1931994] Re: [Ubuntu 20.04] OpenSSL bugs im s390x AES code

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Sponsored impish for now.

As regards the SRUs, I suppose that the block-proposed-hirsute tag set
at bug #1927161 needs to be removed. Also, should the test plan be
expanded to include the test script which bugproxy added?

** Changed in: openssl (Ubuntu Impish)
       Status: New => Fix Committed

** No longer affects: openssl (Ubuntu Groovy)

Bug description:
  Problem description:

  When passing a NULL key to reset AES EVC state, the state wouldn't be completely reset on s390x.
  https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/14900

  Solution available here:
  https://github.com/openssl/openssl/commit/dc67210d909b5dd7a50f60a96f36f3f5a891b1c8

  Should be applied to all distros where openssl 1.1.1 is included for consistency reason.
  -> 21.10, 20.04, 18.04.
  I think not needed for 16.04 anymore....

  [Test plan]

  $ sudo apt install libssl-dev
  $ gcc test.c -o evc-test -lcrypto -lssl # See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+bug/1931994/comments/2 for the test.c program
  $ ./evc-test && echo OK

  [Where problems could occur]

  This patch only touches s390x code paths, so there shouldn't be any regression on other architectures. However, on s390x this could reveal
  latent bugs by spreading a NULL key to new code paths.
