Description:
------------
I create private key with 
$configargs = array(
  "digest_alg" => "sha1",
  "private_key_bits" => 1024,
  "private_key_type" => OPENSSL_KEYTYPE_DSA,
  "encrypt_key" => false
);

But I can not get signature by openssl_sign($data, $signature, $key).

Then I use openssl  in shell
#openssl dgst -dss1 -sign id_dsa foo.sha1 > sigfile.bin
openssl create a signature file : sigfile.bin
#openssl dgst -dss1 -verify id_dsa.pub -signature sigfile.bin foo.sha1
openssl print: "Verified OK"


It looks something bug of PHP function openssl_sign()

Reproduce code:
---------------
$data = "sfsdfsdfs";
$fp = fopen("/home/id_dsa", "r");
$pkey = fread($fp, 8192);
fclose($fp);
$key = openssl_get_privatekey($pkey);
openssl_sign($data, $signature, $key);
openssl_free_key($key);
echo $signature;

Expected result:
----------------
openssl_sign() can create signature 

Actual result:
--------------
openssl_sign() can not create signature , $signature is empty

This is related to Bug #41033 - PHP doesn't support signing or verification with DSA, because it requires EVP_dss1() instead of EVP_sha1(), and the patch to provide a constant for that hash algorithm hasn't been merged yet.

Duplicate of  #41033  (which is fixed)

I'm getting this bug in version 5.2.17; openssl_sign silently fails, signature is empty

Here's the code to reproduce it:

$priv_key = '-----BEGIN DSA PRIVATE KEY-----
