[EMAIL PROTECTED] - Wed Apr 21 08:27:34 2004]:
Interesting bug. I guess that noone ever thought of testing for
ridiculously small moduli... A quick solution would be to have the
following at the beginning of BN_generate_prime_ex():
/* We know from experience that this algorithms barfs
endlessly at 30 or less bits */
if (bits < 31) return 0;
I'm a little hesitant to do this, however, as it has a strong smell of
quick and dirty hack (which is about the same smell as I imagine a pair
of socks you have worn for a week would while wearing sneackers 80% of
the time...).
Comments?
