[dns-operations] SHA-1 DNSSEC verification broken in RHEL 9 and CentOS 9 Stream

[Petr Menšík]

No, I wanted just the first message to reach both, because I am
subscribed to both lists. Interested people can search archives of the
other list. I expected those lists have very likely disjoint members not
able to write to both.

Feel free to remove epel-devel from further responses here to avoid
receiving errors (and vice versa).

I am not sure what is the platform you are describing. RHEL 9 won't be
able to verify RSASHA1 signature even in default policy, let alone in
FIPS mode.

You don’t end up doing a lot of work just to have EVP_VerifyFinal() fail because of an unsignalled policy switch.

Yes, I find it also disturbing that there is no good public API to check
SHA-1 availability except attempting a real crypto operation. I hope
that will improve later, but I don't know well working candidate API at
the moment.
