Re: openssl rsa -check

Hmmm, it’s a bug introduced by the use of RSA_check_key_ex function. Thanks for reporting.

Hello,

 

I think there is something broken with verifying the Private Key with "openssl rsa -check" like it was described in https://blog.hboeck.de/archives/888-How-I-tricked-Symantec-with-a-Fake-Private-Key.html

 

I tried to implement better checking in a script that tells me if a key matches a certificate or certificate request.

 

To reproduce, get the fake private key from https://github.com/hannob/tlshelpers/blob/master/examples/symantec.key

 

Verify the key with openssl 1.0.1e-fips or 1.0.2h:

$OPENSSL rsa -in symantec-broken.key -check -noout
RSA key error: n does not equal p q

 

Verify the key with openssl 1.1.0c or 1.1.0f (gives no output)

$OPENSSL rsa -in symantec-broken.key -check -noout

 

 

I would expect 1.1.0 to report the faked key in some way.

Even the returnvalue for openssl returns with a 0 no matter if used a legimate key or a faked key.

 

 

 

Kind Regards,

Georg
