[bug]: Asterisk fails to start with res_srtp / Enterprise Linux 9 about asterisk HOT 4 CLOSED

There is no crash here. Asterisk says it's going to exit and then it does.

Ok, crash is not the best word to describe.
Asterisk not work if module is load.

This does not appear to be specific to asterisk. If you compile and run this simple program:

[rocky@host]$ cat simple.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <srtp2/srtp.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  srtp_err_status_t status = srtp_init();
  if (status != srtp_err_status_ok) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Failed to initialize libsrtp (%d)\n", status);
    return 1;
  }

  srtp_shutdown();
  return 0;
}
[rocky@host]$ LDLIBS=$(pkg-config libsrtp2 --libs) make simple
cc     simple.c  -lsrtp2 -lssl3 -lsmime3 -lnss3 -lnssutil3 -lplds4 -lplc4 -lnspr4 -lpthread -ldl  -o simple
[rocky@host]$ ./simple
Failed to initialize libsrtp (8)

Error 8 is srtp_err_status_cipher_fail. I haven't dug in to this enough to know why it's happening but it's not asterisk that is causing it.

As @seanbright stated, this is not an Asterisk issue but an issue with the underlying system libsrtp. Other individuals ended up resolving this by building libsrtp themselves, installing it, and using it as you have. It appears as though the packaged version has some kind of issue. I don't think load behavior is something we would change for this.
