openssl smime verify fails on checking files bigger than 1.8G in size

We have a flow when encrypting some binary bundles, signing them and pushing to another system where verification and decryption are happening. We faced issues once our bundles crossed some file size, the openssl smime -verify reports Verification failure. Please see the details below.

OK case (with smaller file)

• get file size:

$ stat -c%s ./file_1.b64
1745229635

• sign the file and get signed file size:

$ openssl smime -sign -md sha256 -inkey ./caroot.key -signer ./ca.crt -passin pass:$KEY_PASS -in ./file_1.b64 -out ./file_1.signed
$ stat -c%s ./file_1.signed
1772083225

• verify (we're not interested in actual data here, so redirecting output to /dev/null):

$ openssl smime -verify -md sha256 -in ./file_1.signed -CAfile ./ca.crt >/dev/null
Verification successful

FAIL case (with bigger file)

• get file size:

$ stat -c%s ./file_2.b64
1893771060

• sign the file and get signed file size:

$ openssl smime -sign -md sha256 -inkey ./caroot.key -signer ./ca.crt -passin pass:$KEY_PASS -in ./file_2.b64 -out ./file_2.signed
$ stat -c%s ./file_2.signed
1922909903

• verify:

$ openssl smime -verify -md sha256 -in ./file_2.signed -CAfile ./ca.crt >/dev/null

OS and OpenSSL version

Ubuntu 22.04 with "official" openssl package:

$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=22.04

DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS"

$ openssl version
OpenSSL 3.0.2 15 Mar 2022 (Library: OpenSSL 3.0.2 15 Mar 2022)

The issue was also noticed for own built version of OpenSSL 3.0 branch with the same error codes but slightly different C-line numbers:

$ openssl version
