There was a problem hiding this comment.
Somewhat belatedly... forging pointers is technically UB and can lead to miscompiles, even if the pointer is never dereferenced. I get why it's doing what it's doing but I would suggest to just set pass = "";

This solves two related problems:
PrivateKeyEncodingConfigwas unable to distinguish between "no passphrase" and zero-length passphrases, since both may be stored asByteSource(nullptr, 0).nullptrfor the passphrase. However, this did happen when an empty passphrase was specified, becausemalloc(0)is allowed to return anullptr.I'm not sure why these problems don't affect older versions.
Fixes: #35898
