      Implement RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 as specified. · b71079a3
      David Benjamin authored
      RFC 3447, section 8.2.2, steps 3 and 4 states that verifiers must encode
      the DigestInfo struct and then compare the result against the public key
      operation result. This implies that one and only one encoding is legal.
      
      OpenSSL instead parses with crypto/asn1, then checks that the encoding
      round-trips, and allows some variations for the parameter. Sufficient
      laxness in this area can allow signature forgeries, as described in
      https://www.imperialviolet.org/2014/09/26/pkcs1.html
      
      Although there aren't known attacks against OpenSSL's current scheme,
      this change makes OpenSSL implement the algorithm as specified. This
      avoids the uncertainty and, more importantly, helps grow a healthy
      ecosystem. Laxness beyond the spec, particularly in implementations
      which enjoy wide use, risks harm to the ecosystem for all. A signature
      producer which only tests against OpenSSL may not notice bugs and
      accidentally become widely deployed. Thus implementations have a
      responsibility to honor the specification as tightly as is practical.
      
      In some cases, the damage is permanent and the spec deviation and
      security risk becomes a tax all implementors must forever pay, but not
      here. Both BoringSSL and Go successfully implemented and deployed
      RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 as specified since their respective beginnings, so
      this change should be compatible enough to pin down in future OpenSSL
      releases.

      As a bonus, by not having to deal with sign/verify differences, this
      version is also somewhat clearer. It also more consistently enforces
      digest lengths in the verify_recover codepath. The NID_md5_sha1 codepath
      wasn't quite doing this right.

      Partial revert of "Fix client verify mode to check SSL_VERIFY_PEER" · 929cc3fa
      Matt Caswell authored
      This partially reverts commit c636c1c4
      
      . It also tweaks the documentation
      and comments in this area. On the client side the documented interface for
      SSL_CTX_set_verify()/SSL_set_verify() is that setting the flag
      SSL_VERIFY_PEER causes verfication of the server certificate to take place.
      Previously what was implemented was that if *any* flag was set then
      verification would take place. The above commit improved the semantics to
      be as per the documented interface.
      
      However, we have had a report of at least one application where an
      application was incorrectly using the interface and used *only*
      SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT on the client side. In OpenSSL prior to
      the above commit this still caused verification of the server certificate
      to take place. After this commit the application silently failed to verify
      the server certificate.
      
      Ideally SSL_CTX_set_verify()/SSL_set_verify() could be modified to indicate
      if invalid flags were being used. However these are void functions!
      
      The simplest short term solution is to revert to the previous behaviour
      which at least means we "fail closed" rather than "fail open".
      
      Thanks to Cory Benfield for reporting this issue.

      Always ensure that init_msg is initialised for a CCS · 992b3740
      Matt Caswell authored
      
      
      We read it later in grow_init_buf(). If CCS is the first thing received in
      a flight, then it will use the init_msg from the last flight we received. If
      the init_buf has been grown in the meantime then it will point to some
      arbitrary other memory location. This is likely to result in grow_init_buf()
      attempting to grow to some excessively large amount which is likely to
      fail. In practice this should never happen because the only time we receive
      a CCS as the first thing in a flight is in an abbreviated handshake. None
      of the preceding messages from the server flight would be large enough to
      trigger this.
