    Version: 2.6.1-2.2
    Severity: serious

    I've been told that it ties to load rdrand: <https://github.com/softhsm/SoftHSMv2/blob/557b2fd49c64639c4b13416283d91a60748d61a7/src/lib/crypto/OSSLCryptoFactory.cpp#L147>

    But we don't have the rdrand engine in Debian.

    softhsm2, as you point out, trys to load RDRAND. However as you
    point out, openssl has disabled the RDRAND engine.

    Given there is no visible problem caused by this, could you please
    explain why you consider this to be serious?


    Best,
    Chris
