Weird. This is about as deterministic as a crypto test gets (it uses a known key to decrypt a known value), and it clearly succeeded on retry since the log linked above shows success.

This feels like one of those "the computer said 2 + 2 = 5" never-reproducible bugs... but let's see if we get some more hits to try and force a repro.

[akoeplinger]

@bartonjs where are you seeing this succeed? It fails on every outerloop run on Fedora 38 across both mono and coreclr.

[bartonjs]

where are you seeing this succeed?

The log you linked to says no failures...

[bartonjs]

Ah. The log you originally linked to, which is what I got in the email notification. I see the current link has a failure.

[akoeplinger]

Yeah sorry, that was a copy-paste mistake :D

[vcsjones]

I can reproduce it on Fedora 39 but not Ubuntu 23.04. Odd.

[vcsjones]

Okay. @bartonjs and I tracked it down to https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/13817. This is a change in OpenSSL 3.2 that Fedora / Red Hat back ported.

We are going to disable the implicit rejection so the APIs work as they have always worked.

[vcsjones]

Re-opening because we probably need to backport this.

[tomato42]

@vcsjones We have implemented it in OpenSSL specifically to protect users of such broken API as the one provided by C# and VB.NET.

By disabling implicit rejection you are MAKING them vulnerable

Please, see https://people.redhat.com/~hkario/marvin/ and read it whole, including both of the papers.
