[jaruga (Jun Aruga)]

Ruby 3.3 (master branch) includes Ruby OpenSSL library (openssl gem) to fix OpenSSL.fips_mode and OpenSSL::PKey.read in OpenSSL 3 FIPS. And I want to see the following 5 commits to fix the issues will be backported to Ruby 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0.

• Fix OpenSSL.fips_mode in OpenSSL 3 FIPS.
  https://github.com/ruby/openssl/pull/608
  https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/678d41bc51fe31834eec0b653ba0e47de5420aa0

• Fix OpenSSL::PKey.read in OpenSSL 3 FIPS.
  The following 2 commits modify the ossl_pkey_read_generic. Maybe it's easy to combine and squash the 2 commits to 1 commit to backport.

  • https://github.com/ruby/openssl/pull/615
    https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/2a4834057b30a26c38ece3961b370c0b2ee59380
  • https://github.com/ruby/openssl/pull/669
    https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/b0ec1db8a72c530460abd9462ac75845362886bd

• Enable tests in OpenSSL FIPS.
  This commit is needed to run the tests properly in OpenSSL FIPS.

    https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/920bc71284f417f9044b0dc1822b1d29a8fc61e5

• ssl: use ffdhe2048 from RFC 7919 as the default DH group parameters

Ruby and included Ruby OpenSSL (ruby/openssl) version

Here is the bundled ruby/openssl version for each Ruby. You can check the version number in the ext/openssl/lib/openssl/version.rb. The only ruby/openssl version 3.2.0 includes the 5 commits above.

• Ruby 3.3
  • master: 3.2.0
• Ruby 3.2:
  • The brnach ruby_3_2: 3.1.0
  • The latest patch version tag v3_2_2: 3.1.0
• Ruby 3.1:
  • The branch ruby_3_1: 3.0.1
  • The latest patch version tag v3_1_4: 3.0.1
• Ruby 3.0:
  • The branch ruby_3_0: 2.2.2
  • The latest patch version tag v3_0_6: 2.2.2

In my opinion, the 3 possible ways to backport are

1. Include ruby/openssl 3.2.0 in Ruby 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0. I think this is the easiest option.
2. If ruby/ruby only wants to use ruby/openssl only increasing patch version, we may need some work in ruby/openssl side to relase the ruby/openssl gem 3.1.z, 3.0.z and 2.2.z. I think this is the right option, and the hardest option.
3. Backport the 5 commits above in ruby/ruby directly. I am not sure if this is actually an option, when the upstream ruby/openssl stable branches maint-3.2, maint-3.1 and maint-3.0 don't apply the commits.

The reason why the oldest Ruby version to be backported is 3.0 is because the oldest Ruby version using OpenSSL 3 is 3.0 in CentOS 9 stream and RHEL 9 main branch, in our maintaining Linux distributions: Fedora, CentOS Stream and RHEL.
