Error in libcrypto

giogio · March 10, 2021, 11:18am

Hello,

OpenMandriva Lx version: Lx4.2 plasma x86 64
Desktop environment (KDE, LXQT…): KDE
Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant):

When I launch an operation involving reading the keys under ./ssh I get the following error
Error in libcrypto
and I cannot perform what I need.
By the way my simple operation was just linking to KDE site:
svn checkout svn+ssh://svn@svn.kde.org/mydirs

I need to use the keys I have under .ssh directory. This is because I need to testwhat I have in other pc to the pc where I installed OpenMandriva.
I make this operation on other linux distros woth KDE without any problem (for instance SolidXK, but not only).
The permissions are all the same I used on other systems, so I think it is not permission dependable.
Maybe something linked to a different handling of ssh, but I do not know.
Thank you

Relevant informations (hardware involved, software version, logs or output…):

Yes we are aware of that issue. It is reported to OpenSSL upstream.

Hi, im using my ssh RSA key for many years. After update to openssl3 i noticed …an issue: ``` [tpg@tpg-virtualbox .ssh]$ ssh-add Error loading key "/home/tpg/.ssh/id_rsa": error in libcrypto ``` I've validated my keys: [tpg@tpg-virtualbox .ssh]$ ssh-keygen -l -f id_rsa.pub 4096 SHA256:hereisthehash xxx@gmail.com (RSA) Newly generated key with ssh-keygen works. I tried to generate RSA key with openssl: ``` [tpg@tpg-virtualbox .ssh]$ openssl genrsa -des3 -out private.pem 2048 Enter PEM pass phrase: Verifying - Enter PEM pass phrase: [tpg@tpg-virtualbox .ssh]$ openssl rsa -in private.pem -outform PEM -pubout -out public.pem Enter pass phrase for private.pem: writing RSA key [tpg@tpg-virtualbox .ssh]$ openssl pkey -check -in private.pem -noout Enter pass phrase for private.pem: Key is valid [tpg@tpg-virtualbox .ssh]$ openssl pkey -pubcheck -in public.pem -noout Could not read key from public.pem Unable to load key ``` My system is OpenMandriva Cooker ``` [tpg@tpg-virtualbox .ssh]$ rpm -qa | grep openssl openssl-3.0.0-0.alpha8.1.x86_64 [tpg@tpg-virtualbox .ssh]$ rpm -qa | grep openssh openssh-8.4p1-2.x86_64 ```

For now you may want to convert you current ssh key:

cp id_rsa id_rsa_pem
ssh-keygen -p -m PEM -N '' -f id_rsa_pem

Hi , I tried, but I got the same error

Failed to load key id_rsa_pem: error in libcrypto

If you are using Windows / WSL do dos2unix id_rsa in right directory, where this file is located
