SCP8-22 : xmlsec1 do_compile fails when feature/disable-weak-encryption is used

Created: Mar 31, 2016    Updated: Apr 28, 2018
Resolved Date: Apr 17, 2018
Found In Version: 8.0
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux 8
Component/s: Userspace

Description

When the system is configured to disable known-weak encryption using feature/disable-weak-encryption, the xmlsec1 package does not compile.  This is because that package makes use of known-insecure encryption algorithms for some purpose (but not necessarily in an insecure way).

Workaround

do not include feature/disable-weak-encryption if xmlsec1 is needed.

Steps to Reproduce

1)configure --enable-test=yes --enable-board=qemux86-64 --enable-rootfs=secure-core --enable-kernel=secure

2)make xmlsec1
