[openssl.org #1522] [PATCH] fail to assert "pkeyp" and "x509p" variables in demos/x509/mkcert.c

[Ghotra Sandeep-hgrm36 via RT]

Hi,

 

In file mkcert.c under demos/x509, we have failed to assert variables
"pkeyp" and "x509p". 

Due to which if any these variables is NULL (i.e.if pkeyp==NULL or
x509p==NULL), the function will crash at the end.

 

I've found the problem in OpenSSL 0.9.8.e and it exists in its previous
versions as well.

One possible solution of this problem is to insert a check for these
variables not being NULL

at the beginning of the function. 

 

Please find an attached copy of patch in the attachments.

 

 

Regards
