For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. libmcrypt author has already been contacted with the fix to the problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-16 02:27:09] mbretter@php.net I'm running FreeBSD 4.7 with libmcrypt 2.5.3. There seems to be a bug in libmcrypt, the crash occurs if you call mcrypt_generic(), but without valid IV. Here's a short script: $td = mcrypt_module_open ('des', '', 'cbc', ''); $iv = mcrypt_create_iv (mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size ($td), MCRYPT_RAND); mcrypt_generic_init ($td, substr($nthash, 0, 7)); $res = mcrypt_generic ($td, $challenge); changing: mcrypt_generic_init ($td, substr($nthash, 0, 7)); to: mcrypt_generic_init ($td, substr($nthash, 0, 7), $iv); solves the problem :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21039&edit=1
