undefined symbol: EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_key_length

[tassosblackg]

Working with nodejs version 17.6.0, I get the following error

node: symbol lookup error: /home/user/code_api/node_modules/ssh2/lib/protocol/crypto/build/Release/sshcrypto.node: undefined symbol: EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_key_length

and I don't manage to find any possible solution. What might be wrong?

the code trying to use is:

       const conn = new Client();
        conn.on('ready', () => {
            console.log('Client :: ready');
            conn.shell((err, stream) => {
                if (err) throw err;
                stream.on('close', () => {
                    console.log('Stream :: close');
                    conn.end();
                }).on('data', (data) => {
                    console.log('OUTPUT: ' + data);
                });
                stream.end('ls -l\nexit\n');
            });
        }).connect({
            host: 'remote-host-address',
            port: 22,
            username: 'user',
            password: 'some-password'

        });

OS: Manjaro Linux 21.2.4

How did you install node? It sounds like your copy of node 17.x is using OpenSSL 1.x instead of 3.x.

Also, just to verify my hunch, what does node -pe process.versions look like?

I've installed node using the

official repositories (community)

As for the node -pe process.versions output:

Can you try the master branch? I want to make sure things are fixed there now.

I'm confident this is fixed in the master branch now. If you find out otherwise, let me know.
