      Avoid overflow in EVP_EncodeUpdate · ee1e3cac
      Matt Caswell authored
      
      
      An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate function which is used for
      Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
      amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
      corruption. Due to the very large amounts of data involved this will most
      likely result in a crash.
      
      Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate function is primarly used by the
      PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
      OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes
      data from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be
      considered vulnerable to this issue.
      
      User applications that call these APIs directly with large amounts of
      untrusted data may also be vulnerable.

      Prevent EBCDIC overread for very long strings · ea96ad5a
      Matt Caswell authored
      
      
      ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in
      applications using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems.
      This could result in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.

      Fix encrypt overflow · 3f358213

      An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate function. If an attacker is
      able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
      EVP_EncryptUpdate with a partial block then a length check can overflow
      resulting in a heap corruption.
      
      Following an analysis of all OpenSSL internal usage of the
      EVP_EncryptUpdate function all usage is one of two forms.
      
      The first form is like this:
      EVP_EncryptInit()
      EVP_EncryptUpdate()
      
      i.e. where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be the first called
      function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that specific call
      must be safe.
      
      The second form is where the length passed to EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be
      seen from the code to be some small value and therefore there is no
      possibility of an overflow.
      
      Since all instances are one of these two forms, I believe that there can
      be no overflows in internal code due to this problem.
      
      It should be noted that EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate()
      in certain code paths. Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for
      EVP_EncryptUpdate(). Therefore I have checked all instances of these
      calls too, and came to the same conclusion, i.e. there are no instances
      in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
      
      This could still represent a security issue for end user code that calls
      this function directly.
