    Description

      This is the same issue as MDEV-14064, but since I couldn't re-open the closed one, opening a new. The issue MDEV-14064 was closed as it seemed to be problem in openssl library, but in the end there is issue in MariaDB 10.1 as well (see bellow).

      It looks like it works fine with older openssl:
      openssl-libs-1.0.1e-60.el7_3.1

      but it starts to fail with RHEL-7.4 openssl:
      openssl-libs-1.0.2k-8.el7

      How to reproduce:

      #> yum install rh-mariadb101
      #> rm -rf /var/opt/rh/rh-mariadb101/lib/mysql/*
      #> scl enable rh-mariadb101 bash
      #> /opt/rh/rh-mariadb101/root/usr/libexec/mysqld run --lc-messages=en_US --bootstrap --basedir=/opt/rh/rh-mariadb101/root/usr --datadir=/var/opt/rh/rh-mariadb101/lib/mysql --log-warnings=1 --enforce-storage-engine= --user=mysql --max_allowed_packet=8M --net_buffer_length=16K
      

      Current results:
      mysqld crashes with this back-trace:

      After talking to openssl developer, it turned out that MariaDB (deliberately) uses internal function RAND_SSLeay(), with this explanation:

      int my_random_bytes(uchar *buf, int num)
      {
        /*
          Unfortunately RAND_bytes manual page does not provide any guarantees
          in relation to blocking behavior. Here we explicitly use SSLeay random
          instead of whatever random engine is currently set in OpenSSL. That way
          we are guaranteed to have a non-blocking random.
        */
        if (RAND_bytes(buf, num) != 1)
          return MY_AES_OPENSSL_ERROR;
        return MY_AES_OK;
      }
      

      This is what the openssl developer said about the comment above: The assumption is worthless. The RAND_SSLeay RNG can and will call read() on /dev/urandom in the FIPS mode anyway and actually using RAND_bytes() is much less probable to do that in the FIPS mode - it reads from /dev/urandom for reseed only when the automatic reseed interval is passed. The question also is what 'blocking' means here in this context and why it was so crucial for RNG to not block. Read from /dev/urandom is not supposed to block for example. There is no explanation for that.

      Well, it looks like something will get fixed on openssl part as well, but I think the mariadb code should only used the documented function.
