Public bug reported: OpenSSL 3.0, which is planned to land in the archive Very Soon™, has moved quite a few algorithms to its "legacy" provider, which isn't loaded by default. Some of those algorithms are used in various protocols implemented by wpa_supplicant, so it's likely that the package will be broken in this regard.
Sadly, this isn't caught by either the build-time tests nor the autopkgtests. A first good step would be to patch wpa_supplicant to load the "legacy" provider (and the default one too, cf https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man7/crypto.html , look for "legacy"). ** Affects: wpa (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: fr-1881 transition-openssl3-jj ** Tags added: fr-1881 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to wpa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1951624 Title: OpenSSL 3.0 transition might lead to unsupported protocols Status in wpa package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: OpenSSL 3.0, which is planned to land in the archive Very Soon™, has moved quite a few algorithms to its "legacy" provider, which isn't loaded by default.
