Curl_nss_md5sum/Curl_nss_sha256sum doesn't check the context pointer, which may be NULL.
Passing NULL pointer to PK11_DigestOp() will cause SIGSEGV if the input data is not empty.

static CURLcode Curl_nss_md5sum(unsigned char *tmp, /* input */
                                size_t tmplen,
                                unsigned char *md5sum, /* output */
                                size_t md5len)
{
  PK11Context *MD5pw = PK11_CreateDigestContext(SEC_OID_MD5);
  unsigned int MD5out;

  PK11_DigestOp(MD5pw, tmp, curlx_uztoui(tmplen));
  PK11_DigestFinal(MD5pw, md5sum, &MD5out, curlx_uztoui(md5len));
  PK11_DestroyContext(MD5pw, PR_TRUE);

  return CURLE_OK;
}

static CURLcode Curl_nss_sha256sum(const unsigned char *tmp, /* input */
                               size_t tmplen,
                               unsigned char *sha256sum, /* output */
                               size_t sha256len)
{
  PK11Context *SHA256pw = PK11_CreateDigestContext(SEC_OID_SHA256);
  unsigned int SHA256out;

  PK11_DigestOp(SHA256pw, tmp, curlx_uztoui(tmplen));
  PK11_DigestFinal(SHA256pw, sha256sum, &SHA256out, curlx_uztoui(sha256len));
  PK11_DestroyContext(SHA256pw, PR_TRUE);

  return CURLE_OK;
}

The following code is from the master branch of nss

SECStatus
PK11_DigestOp(PK11Context *context, const unsigned char *in, unsigned inLen)
{
    CK_RV crv = CKR_OK;
    SECStatus rv = SECSuccess;

    if (inLen == 0) {
        return SECSuccess;
    }
    if (!in) {
        PORT_SetError(SEC_ERROR_INVALID_ARGS);
        return SECFailure;
    }

    /* if we ran out of session, we need to restore our previously stored
     * state.
     */
    context->init = PR_FALSE;
... ...

I expected the following

curl/libcurl version

master branch. Maybe other branches also have this bug.

I wish NSS was documented so we could actually read how PK11_CreateDigestContext() is supposed to behave...

PK11_CreateDigestContext will return NULL in case there is no slot/module for the requested algorithm.
