Hi Everyone -

My integration yesterday for:
6852240 libelfsign should use pkcs11_softtoken instead of OpenSSL for FIPS-140 
integrity checking
6851814 tools elfsign is unnecessarily linked against pkcs11_softtoken

constitutes a flag day for all developers, particularly external developers.
You need to make sure you have the closed binary tarball that corresponds
with these bits, or you will get an infinite loop in cryptosvcs that will
look something like this:

Jul 18 15:11:05 moritz svc.startd[7]: [ID 122153 daemon.warning] 
svc:/system/cryptosvc:default: Method 
or service exit timed out.  Killing contract 15.
Jul 18 15:11:05 moritz kcf: [ID 949968 kern.warning] WARNING: Module 
verification door upcall failed 
for /kernel/crypto/amd64/arcfour. errno = 4
Jul 18 15:11:05 moritz svc.startd[7]: [ID 636263 daemon.warning] 
svc:/system/cryptosvc:default: Method 
"/sbin/cryptoadm start" failed due to signal KILL

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like the closed-bins tar ball has been updated
since May 19, so right now these bits will be toxic for external developers,
though there have been many other changes to the closed bins since that date,
so I am surprised this is the first issue coming up.

I will contact the gatekeeping staff immediately to try to resolve this.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

Valerie
