Bug #78444 [NEW]: openssl_pkey_new generates OpenSSL errors with OpenSSL 1.1.1

From: jmaguire at duo dot com Operating system: Linux/Windows PHP version: 7.3.8 Package: OpenSSL related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:openssl_pkey_new generates OpenSSL errors with OpenSSL 1.1.1 Description: ------------ If a .rnd file does not exist in the user's directory, openssl_pkey_new will generate an error: error:2406F079:random number generator:RAND_load_file:Cannot open file The .rnd file will be created, and the operation appears to work, but this causes issues when trying to detect errors in the OpenSSL pkey creation. Subsequent calls to openssl_pkey_new succeed, as the .rnd file is created successfully. It seems that running, e.g. openssl genrsa -des3 -out private.pem 2048 at the command line does not create or need this .rnd file anymore. Test script: --------------- <?php unlink(getenv('HOME') . '/.rnd'); openssl_pkey_new(); while ($err = openssl_error_string()) { echo $err . PHP_EOL; } Expected result: ---------------- error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value Actual result: -------------- error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value error:2406F079:random number generator:RAND_load_file:Cannot open file -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78444&edit=1 -- Fix committed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78444&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78444&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78444&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78444&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78444&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78444&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78444&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78444&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78444&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78444&r=globals PHP version support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78444&r=phptooold Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78444&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78444&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78444&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78444&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78444&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78444&r=mysqlcfg
