Avoid using the P384_POINT type on the C side. It seems to work for all
the targets we support, for P-384, but this pattern probably doesn't
work in general. Especially due to alignment issues for 32-bit targets,
it is doubtful it would work for P-521.
*ring* defined a function named `OPENSSL_memcmp` that did what
`CRYPTO_memcmp` does in BoringSSL, and BoringSSL has a different
function called `OPENSSL_memcmp`. *ring* doesn't need
`OPENSSL_memcmp` so sync the `CRYPTO_memcmp` stuff with BoringSSL.
This eliminates unnecessary differences from BoringSSL.
Our policy is to set warnings-as-errors only when buildingt from Git,
not when building from a packaged release. This flag is another aspect
of warnings-as-errors.
So far .S files are only used on non-x86, non-x86_64 targets. That
will change soon, so prepare for that by filtering them out so that
we don't feed them to MSVC.
First, we were passing `-Wl,--gc-sections` to the compiler regardless
of whether it is MSVC, which didn't make any sense on its own.
But, even more generally, it doesn't make sense for us to try to tell
the linker what to do when we aren't actually linking. (We're building
static libraries of the C and assembly code.)
Clarify which parts of the build script modify the compiler
configuration (`configure_cc`) and which don't (`cc`). Ensure that the
configuration is only done once per library, instead of once per source
file, as each `cc` invocation can reuse the configuration work done by
a single `configure_cc` call.
Apparently it is OK to set `-std=c1x` even when compiling assembly
code, so just set it no matter what we're compiling. This simplifies
the code and allows future simplification.
It's not clear why certain warnings were separated from the others.
Combine them too, for the same reasons.
This partially fixes a bug where, on x86_64, BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime
would sometimes return m, the modulus, when it should have returned
zero. Thanks to Guido Vranken for reporting it. It is only a partial fix
because the same bug also exists in the "rsaz" codepath. That will be
fixed in the subsequent CL. (See the commented out test.)
The bug only affects zero outputs (with non-zero inputs), so we believe
it has no security impact on our cryptographic functions. BoringSSL
calls BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime in the following cases:
- RSA private key operations
- Primality testing, raising the witness to the odd part of p-1
- DSA keygen and key import, pub = g^priv (mod p)
- DSA signing, r = g^k (mod p)
- DH keygen, pub = g^priv (mod p)
- Diffie-Hellman, secret = peer^priv (mod p)
It is not possible in the RSA private key operation, provided p and q
are primes. If using CRT, we are working modulo a prime, so zero output
with non-zero input is impossible. If not using CRT, we work mod n.
While there are nilpotent values mod n, none of them hit zero by
exponentiating. (Both p and q would need to divide the input, which
means n divides the input.)
In primality testing, this can only be hit when the input was composite.
But as the rest of the loop cannot then hit 1, we'll correctly report it
as composite anyway.
DSA and DH work modulo a prime, where this case cannot happen.
Analysis:
This bug is the result of sloppiness with the looser bounds from "almost
Montgomery multiplication", described in
https://eprint.iacr.org/2011/239. Prior to upstream's
ec9cc70f72454b8d4a84247c86159613cee83b81, I believe x86_64-mont5.pl
implemented standard Montgomery reduction (the left half of figure 3 in
the paper).
Though it did not document this, ec9cc70f7245 changed it to implement
the "almost" variant (the right half of the figure.) The difference is
that, rather than subtracting if T >= m, it subtracts if T >= R. In
code, it is the difference between something like our bn_reduce_once,
vs. subtracting based only on T's carry bit. (Interestingly, the
.Lmul_enter branch of bn_mul_mont_gather5 seems to still implement
normal reduction, but the .Lmul4x_enter branch is an almost reduction.)
That means none of the intermediate values here are bounded by m. They
are only bounded by R. Accordingly, Figure 2 in the paper ends with
step 10: REDUCE h modulo m. BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime is missing this
step. The bn_from_montgomery call only implements step 9, AMM(h, 1).
(x86_64-mont5.pl's bn_from_montgomery only implements an almost
reduction.)
The impact depends on how unreduced AMM(h, 1) can be. Remark 1 of the
paper discusses this, but is ambiguous about the scope of its 2^(n-1) <
m < 2^n precondition. The m+1 bound appears to be unconditional:
Montgomery reduction ultimately adds some 0 <= Y < m*R to T, to get a
multiple of R, and then divides by R. The output, pre-subtraction, is
thus less than m + T/R. MM works because T < mR => T' < m + mR/R = 2m.
A single subtraction of m if T' >= m gives T'' < m. AMM works because
T < R^2 => T' < m + R^2/R = m + R. A single subtraction of m if T' >= R
gives T'' < R. See also Lemma 1, Section 3 and Section 4 of the paper,
though their formulation is more complicated to capture the word-by-word
algorithm. It's ultimately the same adjustment to T.
But in AMM(h, 1), T = h*1 = h < R, so AMM(h, 1) < m + R/R = m + 1. That
is, AMM(h, 1) <= m. So the only case when AMM(h, 1) isn't fully reduced
is if it outputs m. Thus, our limited impact. Indeed, Remark 1 mentions
step 10 isn't necessary because m is a prime and the inputs are
non-zero. But that doesn't apply here because BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime
may be called elsewhere.
Fix:
To fix this, we could add the missing step 10, but a full division would
not be constant-time. The analysis above says it could be a single
subtraction, bn_reduce_once, but then we could integrate it into
the subtraction already in plain Montgomery reduction, implemented by
uppercase BN_from_montgomery. h*1 = h < R <= m*R, so we are within
bounds.
Thus, we delete lowercase bn_from_montgomery altogether, and have the
mont5 path use the same BN_from_montgomery ending as the non-mont5 path.
This only impacts the final step of the whole exponentiation and has no
measurable perf impact.
In doing so, add comments describing these looser bounds. This includes
one subtlety that BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime actually mixes bn_mul_mont
(MM) with bn_mul_mont_gather5/bn_power5 (AMM). But this is fine because
MM is AMM-compatible; when passed AMM's looser inputs, it will still
produce a correct looser output.
Ideally we'd drop the "almost" reduction and stick to the more
straightforward bounds. As this only impacts the final subtraction in
each reduction, I would be surprised if it actually had a real
performance impact. But this would involve deeper change to
x86_64-mont5.pl, so I haven't tried this yet.
I believe this is basically the same bug as
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/13907 from Go.
