Hi

I have narrowed down the problem now.

This function { des_ede3_cbc_encrypt(input,output1,...) } will encrypt
and update the encrypted output in the array output1.

While printing the array values ,the array value at the end of
encryption before returning back to the place where it is called and the
array value after this encrypt function call are the same.

The array value is updated to a file from where I read the encrypted
data and this is fed to
des_ede3_cbc_encrypt(, , , ...,DES_DECRYPT) function call.

While decrypting the array output1 is fetched and used as input for
decryption. While printing the array values before decryption, it is
same as the encrypted password array for all inputs except for the
number sequence "12345678". For this sequence alone, the encrypted
values and the input to decryption are different and hence the junk
password is printed as output.

I am not sure why for this sequence alone, the encrypted values are
corrupted before decryption.

Hope you can help me at this point of time.

Regards,
Swathika

as I still don't know what you are doing (an example source code showing
the bug would be very helpful !) => it's still not really possible to
help you. Anyway this sounds more like a bug in your application than a
bug in the openssl code.

Cheers,
