Sorry, something went wrong.
When an empty string was passed, malloc might have returned a nullptr depending on the platform, causing an assertion failure. This change makes private key parsing behave as public key parsing does, causing a BIO error instead that can be caught in JS. Fixes: nodejs#25247

I am pre-emptively labeling this security due to the simplicity of causing this failure. This currently only affects the most recent release, v11.6.0, and no other release should include #24234 without this fix.
Fixes: #25247
