Nope, this was on a variety of unix systems, but no Windows code at that point. We used some RSA libraries for crypto primitives and hardware acceleration, with a lot of custom in-house code (BigInts and other math routines). There was no OpenSSL usage. I think the bug turned out to be in our own code, because it was a case of lots of frustration tracking it down, an ‘ah-ha!’ moment, and a quick code check-in fixing the problem there and then. (Yes, we also wrote a new test case!)
But it’s interesting to hear about an identical sounding bug in similar code/routines. I’d say ‘what are the chances?’ but crypto code is always painfully hard.
