Openssl version not detected in current oscrypto version (pypi)

[NeffIsBack]

Hi,

first of all thank you for your work!

We are currently encountering the Error:
oscrypto.errors.LibraryNotFoundError: Error detecting the version of libcrypto
See: https://github.com/mpgn/CrackMapExec/issues/108

I saw you already fixed that in d5f3437, but as this is not released to pypi our Tool does not fully work. Would it be possible to release a bug-fix version to pypi?

[plainenough]

Having a bugfix release would be much appreciated we are seeing this issue on AWS Ubuntu AMIs after issuing system updates, I can imagine that there are a few less than happy AI developers out there struggling to work their way back to this issue.

[ddl-joyce-zhao]

We are seeing the same issue too. The OpenSSL version we are using happens to be 3.0.10. Would really appreciate it to have a new release. Thanks!

[rysson]

The same OpenSSL 3.0.10 1 Aug 2023 doesn't match to regex \b(\d\.\d\.\d[a-z]*)\b in _openssl/_libcrypto_cffi.py.
Last \d should be \d+ or at least \d\d? I guess.

[plainenough]

@wbond Any chance you can look into this issue?

[daringer]

+1 for a bugfix release v1.3.1

[A132770]

+1 for a new release, this is a dependency of snowflake-connector-python, so I imagine many folks are impacted and pinning their OpenSSL version. Thanks for your time and care, we appreciate it!

I manually edited the file and changed the last \d in regex to \d+ and it worked. Note that this is a temp solution. We need to upgrade the package when a new release is available.

[DustinMoriarty]

It looks like the fix is merged. When will this be released? @wbond ?

#76

[camcyr-at-brzwy]

Any update on when this will be released?

[wbond]

No, this is a free-time project for me. The commit is there, so it is certainly possible to use most Python packaging tools to grab the sha of the commit.

[connor-lough]

For those too impatient, like myself... in my pyproject.toml I added in:

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
oscrypto = { git = "https://github.com/wbond/oscrypto.git", rev = "1547f53" }

And now we're all systems go. Thanks for taking the time to create this @wbond !

Thanks for the quick response, and appreciate the work you put into the package @wbond !

@connor-lough For projects that don't use pyproject.toml, is there a way you can do this via the requirements.txt file?

[idexxbernvaug]

@connor-lough For projects that don't use pyproject.toml, is there a way you can do this via the requirements.txt file?

This is the line I added to my requirements.txt:
git+https://github.com/wbond/oscrypto.git@d5f3437
which replaced this line:
oscrypto==1.2.1

I also had to add "git" to my Dockerfile, because I was not installing git before:
apt-get install -y git

[khalilgreenidge]

Thank you!

[vermavikrant]

We are facing the same issue. Using oscrypto==1.3.0 and snowflake-connector-python==2.8.1 .
Is it possible to still face the issue despite we have hard set the versions in the requirements.txt?

[khalilgreenidge]

@vermavikrant Yes, the problem is due to a conflict with the ocrypto library and the openssl program version 3.0.>=10 on your machine. snowflake-connector-python just happens to use the ocrypto library. The way to solve this problem is by either:

1. Change the openssl version - on your machine use another version such as 1.1.1. Run $openssl version to verify which version of openssl you are using.

Or

2. upgrading your ocrypto library - by pointing to the commit that includes the bug fix as mentioned above, until the patch is released.

I've spent most of the day updating our internal applications that use snowflake-connector. My fixes follow along the lines of what has been suggested, above.

If you're using Docker to build your app, you can include a pip install of the ocscrypo package prior to snowflake-connector, and it'll assume the dependency has already been met:

RUN pip install git+https://github.com/wbond/oscrypto.git@1547f535001ba568b239b8797465536759c742a3

If you need to embed it into a requirements.txt file, you can add the following line:

git+https://github.com/wbond/oscrypto.git@1547f535001ba568b239b8797465536759c742a3

[vermavikrant]

If installing via setuptools.setup, then the following line should work
"oscrypto @ git+https://github.com/wbond/oscrypto.git@d5f3437"
I also had to install git into Dockerfile and Jenkinsfile, as stated above.
apt-get update && apt-get install -y git

@mwisconsin wondering why your commit hash is different? Was the fix not in d5f3437 ?

[mwisconsin]

@vermavikrant I picked the latest just in case the recent commits fixed other problems I might encounter in the upcoming weeks before a release happens.

[ArtemHU]

Installed it directly with
pip install -I git+https://github.com/wbond/oscrypto.git
I believe the version should be updated

[wbond]

Unsurprisingly, Snowflake chose to move away from this lib instead

[gwerbin-tive]

@wbond Is there anything that a willing contributor can do to facilitate/expedite publishing a patch release to PyPI?

I work for a company that is currently affected by this issue. I well am within my rights here to dedicate some work time to helping with a PyPI release that includes this bugfix.

I can't actually benefit from Snowflake dropping your project as a dependency, because I'm stuck on an older version of their library. So you can consider me a fully captive audience.

It seems like I need to do the following:

1. Commit a new entry into the the changelog describing the changes in the range c91c86..1547f5.
2. Run git tag v1.3.1 to tag a new release.
3. Run python run.py release.

I imagine I need both Git committer access in this repo, and contributor access to the oscrypto project on PyPI. Is that right?

Just let me know what I can do to help get this published.

Edit: It seems like there have been a lot of changes since v1.3.0 was published, and it would be a lot of work for a new contributor to sort through the commit history in order to document all of it. Would it be acceptable to cherry-pick just this one patch (+ some minimal subset of related commits, if necessary) into a separate branch to create the release? If so, what's your recommended process for that? I assume you're not interested in rebasing all of master to re-order the commits, since that would be highly disruptive to contributors and anyone using this downstream as a Git repo (e.g. vendored as a Git submodule). Maybe the authors of PRs #61, #63, #68, #76, and #77 (I think that's all of them!) would be willing to write their own changelog entries?

PSA: snowflake-connector-python 3.4.0 has been released: https://github.com/snowflakedb/snowflake-connector-python/releases/tag/v3.4.0.

[neonknight]

any chance for a new release so that installations from pypi will include fixes such as this?

[c0r0n3r]

As the developer of cryptolyzer (free software), which depends on oscrypto indirectly (certvalidator), I would highly appreciate it if you could release the fix for the issue.

[jgstew]

I'm running into this issue on an ubuntu:latest docker container running on an ARM cpu.

in my case it was fixed with:

.venv/bin/python3 -m pip install -I git+https://github.com/wbond/oscrypto.git

Is there something I can help with for there to be a new release version on pip? #81

[infineon-zhovtobriukh]

@wbond Are there any news when the next release is planned?
I am dependent on this issue with newest Ubuntu 24.04 which comes with OpenSSL 3.0.13 and I would appreciate this fix released soon.

[lambdaq]

Same problem with OpenSSL 3.0.15 3 Sep 2024.

@wbond is there anything we can help make this pypi release happen?
