>Organization:
n/a
>Environment:
multiple, including release 8.1 amd64 CD in fixit environment
also tested several stable amd64 and i386 with same results
>Description:
encrypted output from bdes on CFB or OFB modes does not decrypt with bdes. For some combinations of plaintext/key/mode/length decryption dumps core, all others merely fail 'nicely'.
CBC(default) and ECB modes are unaffected.
labeled non-critical/low-priority as these would be rarely used modes.
>How-To-Repeat:
opt='-f 64 -k $key' ;key=0x$(md5 -qs "testpass") ;echo "plaintext for testing bdes" |bdes $opt |bdes -d $opt
replacing "-f 64" with -F or -o and other suitable length
>Fix:
don't use CFB or OFB modes.
