To test for the bug, use +pkcs11-hmacmd5 to hash a test vector from RFC 2104, and determine +whether the resulting digest is is correct. For instance: + + echo -n "Hi There" | \ + ./pkcs11-hmacmd5 -p <PIN> -k '0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b' + +...must return "9294727a3638bb1c13f48ef8158bfc9d". + +If any other value is returned, then the provider library is buggy, +and theflag PK11_MD5_HMAC_REPLACE must be defined in +lib/isc/include/pk11/site.h +However, if the correct value is returned, then it is safe to turn +off PK11_MD5_HMAC_REPLACE.
