Subject: Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_options causes segfault
I updated from 1.36nb2 to 1.48 today and suddenly started getting segfaults. It first occurred in my pkgsrc install (openssl-0.9.8x, perl-5.14.2nb5) but I also reproduced the issues in a Gentoo install (openssl-1.0.0i, perl-5.12.4-r1), making me doubt that it was external to Net::SSLeay. The code I used to reproduce is: use Net::SSLeay; my $ctx = Net::SSLeay::CTX_new(); Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_options($ctx, &Net::SSLeay::OP_ALL); Let me know if you need any more info about my environment to reproduce it. I'm currently rolled back to 1.36 to keep things working.

Sorry, this is an incomplete test case and I'm suspecting the bugginess is somewhere on my side. Sorry for the noise.

Well, I can't seem to generate a small test case, but I narrowed it down to the 1.42 -> 1.43 version change. When running munin-node 1.4.5 with 1.43, Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_options fails to be set and then the segfault actually occurs in SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file when it's loading the private key. I'm not sure exactly what's causing the breakage because my by-hand tests don't fail (even using Munin's own TLS module, which wraps around Net::SSLeay, works fine, so I'm not sure what black magic Munin does to break Net::SSLeay). I'll look at it again tomorrow to hopefully find a better test scenario.

Woops, looks like this ended up being Munin using the return value of Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_options as a boolean even though it's not intended as such. No actual bug here...
