openssl pkeyutl not truncating input with DSA key

I am trying to sign a file directly (not computing any hashes) with openssl pkeyutl using a DSA key, and the man page says that the input should be truncated in case it is larger than the expected hash size.
However, when I run the command



$ openssl pkeyutl -sign -inkey myDSAkey.pem -in file -out file.sign


i get the following message after entering my password :



Public Key operation error


The error does not happen with files smaller than 20 bytes. I am running OpenSSL 1.1.0g



Thanks in advance for your help!

  • I'm surprised you say no error for too-small file. There is a code change in crypto/dsa/dsa_pmeth.c in 1.1.0 which should cause errors for too-big or too-small, and does so for me; this is reverted for the default case in 1.1.0i (and 1.1.1-pre9), see github.com/openssl/openssl/commit/…
