Subject: wireless-regdb: Fix regulatory.bin signing with new M2Crypto
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2026 20:58:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aZN29_ghakDPwhFG@decadent.org.uk> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1079 bytes --]
In M2Crypto version 0.45.1, the default hash algorithm for
M2Crypto.RSA.sign() changed from SHA-1 to SHA-256. Since the
signature on regulatory.bin uses a SHA-1 hash, db2bin.py generates
invalid signatures for regulatory.bin if a recent version of M2Crypto
is installed.
I reported this incompatible change as
<https://todo.sr.ht/~mcepl/m2crypto/389>.
There is an obvious workaround, which is to add an explicit
algo='sha1' parameter. This works with old and new versions of
M2Crypto.
