      drbg: fix issue where DRBG_CTR fails if NO_DF is used (2nd attempt) · 63180182
      Dr. Matthias St. Pierre authored
      Since commit 7c226dfc
      
       a chained DRBG does not add additional
      data anymore when reseeding from its parent. The reason is that
      the size of the additional data exceeded the allowed size when
      no derivation function was used.
      
      This commit provides an alternative fix: instead of adding the
      entire DRBG's complete state, we just add the DRBG's address
      in memory, thereby providing some distinction between the different
      DRBG instances.

      Provides a little extra fork-safety on UNIX systems, adding to the
      fact that all DRBGs reseed automatically when the fork_id changes.

      drbg: ensure fork-safety without using a pthread_atfork handler · 1b0fe00e
      Dr. Matthias St. Pierre authored
      When the new OpenSSL CSPRNG was introduced in version 1.1.1,
      it was announced in the release notes that it would be fork-safe,
      which the old CSPRNG hadn't been.
      
      The fork-safety was implemented using a fork count, which was
      incremented by a pthread_atfork handler. Initially, this handler
      was enabled by default. Unfortunately, the default behaviour
      had to be changed for other reasons in commit b5319bdb
      
      , so
      the new OpenSSL CSPRNG failed to keep its promise.
      
      This commit restores the fork-safety using a different approach.
      It replaces the fork count by a fork id, which coincides with
      the process id on UNIX-like operating systems and is zero on other
      operating systems. It is used to detect when an automatic reseed
      after a fork is necessary.
      
      To prevent a future regression, it also adds a test to verify that
      the child reseeds after fork.

      [ec] Match built-in curves on EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters · 9a43a733
      Nicola Tuveri authored
      Description
      -----------
      
      Upon `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()` check if the parameters match any
      of the built-in curves. If that is the case, return a new
      `EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name()` object instead of the explicit parameters
      `EC_GROUP`.
      
      This affects all users of `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`:
      - direct calls to `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`
      - direct calls to `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()` with an explicit
        parameters argument
      - ASN.1 parsing of explicit parameters keys (as it eventually
        ends up calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`)
      
      A parsed explicit parameter key will still be marked with the
      `OPENSSL_EC_EXPLICIT_CURVE` ASN.1 flag on load, so, unless
      programmatically forced otherwise, if the key is eventually serialized
      the output will still be encoded with explicit parameters, even if
      internally it is treated as a named curve `EC_GROUP`.
      
      Before this change, creating any `EC_GROUP` object using
      `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`, yielded an object associated with
      the default generic `EC_METHOD`, but this was never guaranteed in the
      documentation.
      After this commit, users of the library that intentionally want to
      create an `EC_GROUP` object using a specific `EC_METHOD` can still
      explicitly call `EC_GROUP_new(foo_method)` and then manually set the
      curve parameters using `EC_GROUP_set_*()`.
      
      Motivation
      ----------
      
      This has obvious performance benefits for the built-in curves with
      specialized `EC_METHOD`s and subtle but important security benefits:
      - the specialized methods have better security hardening than the
        generic implementations
      - optional fields in the parameter encoding, like the `cofactor`, cannot
        be leveraged by an attacker to force execution of the less secure
        code-paths for single point scalar multiplication
      - in general, this leads to reducing the attack surface
      
      Check the manuscript at https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.01785 for an in depth
      analysis of the issues related to this commit.
      
      It should be noted that `libssl` does not allow to negotiate explicit
      parameters (as per RFC 8422), so it is not directly affected by the
      consequences of using explicit parameters that this commit fixes.
      On the other hand, we detected external applications and users in the
      wild that use explicit parameters by default (and sometimes using 0 as
      the cofactor value, which is technically not a valid value per the
      specification, but is tolerated by parsers for wider compatibility given
      that the field is optional).
      These external users of `libcrypto` are exposed to these vulnerabilities
      and their security will benefit from this commit.
      
      Related commits
      ---------------
      
      While this commit is beneficial for users using built-in curves and
      explicit parameters encoding for serialized keys, commit

      1.0.2, 1.1.0 and 1.1.1 stable branches) fixes the consequences of the
      invalid cofactor values more in general also for other curves
      (CVE-2019-1547).
