* Add the missing Copyright and license headers in the libcrypto/comp directory.schwarze2022-12-236-9/+570
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Requested some time ago by tb@. According to OpenSSL git history, the original version of this code appeared in SSLeay 0.9.1b (July 6, 1998). The LICENSE file in that release states that the Copyright of SSLeay belongs to Eric Young, and we believe that Eric still maintained SSLeay himself at that time. We have seen a small number of examples where Eric credited outside contributors for code that he included in his distribution, including citing Copyright notices and license headers as appropriate. We found no such hints regarding this code, so it is reasonable to assume that he wrote this code himself. Regarding subsequent changes and additions, i inspected the OpenSSL git repository. No code change; only Copyright and license comments are added.

| | | | | | | Contrary to what bio.h says, it does not *not* retrieve some "IO type", whatever that is supposed to be, but it is a NOOP, and nothing uses it. Despite its name, it is unrelated to BIO_f_buffer(3), and please be careful to not confuse it with BIO_get_buffer_num_lines(3).
* Mark BIO_f_nbio_test(3) as intentionally undocumented.schwarze2022-12-231-2/+5

* Simplify BN_cmp() and BN_ucmp().jsing2022-12-231-46/+15
| | | | | | | | | | The only real difference between BN_cmp() and BN_ucmp() is that one has to respect the sign of the BN (although BN_cmp() also gets to deal with some insanity from accepting NULLs). Rewrite/cleanup BN_ucmp() and turn BN_cmp() into code that handles differences in sign, before calling BN_ucmp(). ok tb@

* Mark BIO_s_log(3) as intentionally undocumented.schwarze2022-12-221-3/+4
| | | | | | | | Ben Laurie invented the system logging BIO in 1999 and yet, nothing whatsoever uses it according to codesearch.debian.net. Besides, it is poorly designed and a crypto library is absolutely not the place for putting a clumsy system logging facility. Not everything needs to be a BIO!
* Mark BIO_nread0(3), BIO_nread(3), BIO_nwrite0(3), and BIO_nwrite(3)schwarze2022-12-211-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | as intentionally undocumented. Bodo Moeller invented this "non-copying I/O" API in 1999, but according to codesearch.debian.net, it is still completely unused by anything. On top of that, it appears to be inflexible in so far as it only supports BIO pairs and no other BIO types and fragile in so far as it exposes pointers to internal storage and runs contrary to expectations of how BIO objects are supposed to work.
* Mark BIO_dump_cb(3) and BIO_dump_indent_cb(3) as intentionally undocumented.schwarze2022-12-201-2/+5
| | | | | | It appears Richard Levitte succumbed to everything-needs-a-callback-paranoia in 2004, but nobody is going to be surprised that nothing whatsoever wants to use this particular callback, according to codesearch.debian.net.

* Provide BN_zero()/BN_one() as functions and make BN_zero() always succeed.jsing2022-12-173-7/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | BN_zero() is currently implemented using BN_set_word(), which means it can fail, however almost nothing ever checks the return value. A long time ago OpenSSL changed BN_zero() to always succeed and return void, however kept BN_zero as a macro that calls a new BN_zero_ex() function, so that it can be switched back to the "can fail" version. Take a simpler approach - change BN_zero()/BN_one() to functions and make BN_zero() always succeed. This will be exposed in the next bump, at which point we can hopefully also remove the BN_zero_ex() function. ok tb@

| | | | | | | | | | | BIO_set_callback_ex(3), BIO_get_callback_ex(3), and BIO_callback_fn(3). Document them, in part by merging from the OpenSSL 1.1.1 branch, which is still under a free license, but heavily tweaked by me, in particular: * mention that BIO_set_callback_arg(3) is misnamed; * keep our more detailed explanation of the "ret" argument; * make the list of callback invocations more readable; * and update the HISTORY section.
* Document extension caching of X509_check_purpose()tb2022-12-161-23/+43
| | | | | | | | | | The overwhelming majority of callers of X509_check_purpose() in our tree pass a purpose of -1. In this case X509_check_purpose() acts as a wrapper of x509v3_cache_extensions() which makes sanity checks like non-negativity of ASN.1 integers or canonicity of RFC 3779 extensions as well as checking uniqueness of extensions. from schwarze who beat an initial diff of mine into shape

| | | | OK tb@
* Revert BIO_push(3) cycle prevention (bio_lib.c rev. 1.42).schwarze2022-12-162-39/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | jsing@ worries that cycle prevention might increase risk because software that is not checking return values (and indeed, not checking is likely common in practice) might silently behave incorrectly with cycle prevention whereas without, it will likely either crash right away through infinite recursion or at least hang in an infinite loop when trying to use the cyclic chain, in both cases making it likely that the bug will be found and fixed. Besides, tb@ points out that BIO_set_next(3) ought to behave as similarly as possible to BIO_push(3), but adding cycle prevention to BIO_set_next(3) would be even less convincing because that function does not provide a return value, encouraging users to expect that it will always succeed. While a safe idiom for checking the success of BIO_set_next(3) could easily be designed, let's be realistic: application software would be highly unlikely to pick up such an idiom.

Merge the documentation from the OpenSSL 1.1.1 branch, which is still under a free license. I tweaked the text somewhat for conciseness, and argument names for uniformity.

* Add references to the BIO_{push,pop}(3) exampletb2022-12-071-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | The reader may not know what digest BIOs, Base64 BIOs and file BIOs are and the relevant function names are non-obvious, hence it's not entirely trivial to find the manuals where they are explained. With these references a reader should be able to turn the example into actual code. ok schwarze

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | and next_bio fields of all BIO objects in all affected chains, no matter what the arguments are. In particular, if the second argument (the one to be appended) is not at the beginning of its chain, properly detach the beginning of its chain before appending. We have weak indications that this bug might affect real-world code. For example, in FreeRDP, file libfreerdp/crypto/tls.c, function bio_rdp_tls_ctrl(), case BIO_C_SET_SSL, BIO_push(3) is definitely called with a second argument that is *not* at the beginning of its chain. Admittedly, that code is hard to fathom, but it does appear to result in a bogus prev_bio pointer without this patch. The practical impact of this bug in this and other software remains unknown; the consequences might possibly escalate up to use-after-free issues if BIO_pop(3) is afterwards called on corrupted BIO objects.
