Subject: [PATCH] Fix a read buffer overrun in X509_CERT_AUX_print()
This is a backport of commit c5dc9ab965f to 1.0.2. That commit fixed
the same bug but in master/1.1.1 it is in the function X509_aux_print().
The original commit had the following description:
Fix a read buffer overrun in X509_aux_print().
The ASN1_STRING_get0_data(3) manual explitely cautions the reader
that the data is not necessarily NUL-terminated, and the function
X509_alias_set1(3) does not sanitize the data passed into it in any
way either, so we must assume the return value from X509_alias_get0(3)
is merely a byte array and not necessarily a string in the sense
of the C language.
I found this bug while writing manual pages for X509_print_ex(3)
and related functions. Theo Buehler <tb@openbsd.org> checked my
patch to fix the same bug in LibreSSL, see
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/src/lib/libcrypto/asn1/t_x509a.c#rev1.9
As an aside, note that the function still produces incomplete and
misleading results when the data contains a NUL byte in the middle
and that error handling is consistently absent throughout, even
though the function provides an "int" return value obviously intended
to be 1 for success and 0 for failure, and even though this function
is called by another function that also wants to return 1 for success
and 0 for failure and even does so in many of its code paths, though
not in others. But let's stay focussed. Many things would be nice
to have in the wide wild world, but a buffer overflow must not be
allowed to remain in our backyard.
