I doubt there are, because to do this kind of testing you need to poke around
deep inside the internals of the crypto library.  What you're doing is
generating incorrect or malformed output in a controlled manner, which isn't
generally something that's supported in standard code.  In fact you don't even
want the capability to do this present in your code (in my case you need to do
a custom build) because it's rather dangerous to have sitting in there.
