New submission from Ryan Calhoun:
OpenSSL, specifically libcrypto, includes functions EVP_MD_CTX_create() and
EVP_MD_CTX_destroy(), such that the application code only needs to forward
declare the EVP_MD_CTX* pointer type.
Declaring the EVP_MD_CTX variable type directly requires compile-time knowledge
of the size of the structure. This knowledge will be wrong when compiling with
headers from OpenSSL 0.9.8 and dynamically linking at run time against OpenSSL
1.0.1. Result is a SIGSEGV as follows:
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00007ffff03b71a0 in EVP_PKEY_CTX_dup () from /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so
#1 0x00007ffff03a90cd in EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex () from /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so
#2 0x00007ffff110da8a in EVPnew (name_obj=0x7ffff7ef45a8, digest=0x0,
initial_ctx=0x7ffff130fbc0, cp=0x0, len=0)

optimized out>)

The attached patch updates all declarations in _hashopenssl.c to be pointers
initialized by calling EVP_MD_CTX_create(). The patch is done against source
version 3.4.1. I have a similar patch for version 2.7.6, but can only attach
one file here?
