      Remove support for SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED · 57787ac8
      Matt Caswell authored
      
      
      This flag was not set anywhere within the codebase (only read). It could
      only be set by an app reaching directly into s->s3->flags and setting it
      directly. However that method became impossible when libssl was opaquified.
      
      Even in 1.0.2/1.0.1 if an app set the flag directly it is only relevant to
      ssl3_connect(), which calls SSL_clear() during initialisation that clears
      any flag settings. Therefore it could take effect if the app set the flag
      after the handshake has started but before it completed. It seems quite
      unlikely that any apps really do this (especially as it is completely
      undocumented).
      
      The purpose of the flag is suppress flushing of the write bio on the client
      side at the end of the handshake after the client has written the Finished
      message whilst resuming a session. This enables the client to send
      application data as part of the same flight as the Finished message.
      
      This flag also controls the setting of a second flag SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER.
      There is an interesting comment in the code about this second flag in the
      implementation of ssl3_write:
      
      	/* This is an experimental flag that sends the
      	 * last handshake message in the same packet as the first
      	 * use data - used to see if it helps the TCP protocol during
      	 * session-id reuse */
      
      It seems the experiment did not work because as far as I can tell nothing
      is using this code. The above comment has been in the code since SSLeay.
      
      This commit removes support for SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED, as well
      as the associated SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER.

      RT2547: Tighten perms on generated privkey files · 3b061a00
      Rich Salz authored
      
      
      When generating a private key, try to make the output file be readable
      only by the owner.  Put it in CHANGES file since it might be noticeable.
      
      Add "int private" flag to apps that write private keys, and check that it's
      set whenever we do write a private key.  Checked via assert so that this
      bug (security-related) gets fixed.  Thanks to Viktor for help in tracing
      the code-paths where private keys are written.

      Deprecate RAND_pseudo_bytes · 302d38e3
      Matt Caswell authored
      
      
      The justification for RAND_pseudo_bytes is somewhat dubious, and the reality
      is that it is frequently being misused. RAND_bytes and RAND_pseudo_bytes in
      the default implementation both end up calling ssleay_rand_bytes. Both may
      return -1 in an error condition. If there is insufficient entropy then
      both will return 0, but RAND_bytes will additionally add an error to the
      error queue. They both return 1 on success.
      Therefore the fundamental difference between the two is that one will add an
      error to the error queue with insufficient entory whilst the other will not.
      Frequently there are constructions of this form:
      
      if(RAND_pseudo_bytes(...) <= 1)
      	goto err;
      
      In the above form insufficient entropy is treated as an error anyway, so
      RAND_bytes is probably the better form to use.
      
      This form is also seen:
      if(!RAND_pseudo_bytes(...))
      	goto err;
      
      This is technically not correct at all since a -1 return value is
      incorrectly handled - but this form will also treat insufficient entropy as
      an error.
      
      Within libssl it is required that you have correctly seeded your entropy
      pool and so there seems little benefit in using RAND_pseudo_bytes.
      Similarly in libcrypto many operations also require a correctly seeded
      entropy pool and so in most interesting cases you would be better off
      using RAND_bytes anyway. There is a significant risk of RAND_pseudo_bytes
      being incorrectly used in scenarios where security can be compromised by
      insufficient entropy.
      
      If you are not using the default implementation, then most engines use the
      same function to implement RAND_bytes and RAND_pseudo_bytes in any case.
      
      Given its misuse, limited benefit, and potential to compromise security,
      RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated.

      ifdef cleanup, part 4a: '#ifdef undef' · a2b18e65
      Rich Salz authored
      
      
      This removes all code surrounded by '#ifdef undef'
      One case is left: memmove() replaced by open-coded for loop,
      in crypto/stack/stack.c  That needs further review.
      
      Also removed a couple of instances of /* dead code */ if I saw them
      while doing the main removal.
