An ANY object in an ASN.1 grammar that is marked OPTIONAL should be skipped
if there is no more data to be had.
This can be tested by editing X.509 certificates or PKCS#7 messages to
remove the NULL from subobjects that look like the following:
SEQUENCE {
OBJECT(2a864886f70d01010b);
NULL();
}
This is an algorithm identifier plus an optional parameter.
The modified DER can be passed to one of:
keyctl padd asymmetric "" @s </tmp/modified.x509
keyctl padd pkcs7_test foo @s </tmp/modified.pkcs7
It should work okay with the patch and produce EBADMSG without.

If the ASN.1 decoder is asked to parse a sequence of objects, non-optional
matches get skipped if there's no more data to be had rather than a
data-overrun error being reported.
This is due to the code segment that decides whether to skip optional
matches (ie. matches that could get ignored because an element is marked
OPTIONAL in the grammar) due to a lack of data also skips non-optional
elements if the data pointer has reached the end of the buffer.
This can be tested with the data decoder for the new RSA akcipher algorithm
that takes three non-optional integers. Currently, it skips the last
integer if there is insufficient data.
Without the fix, #defining DEBUG in asn1_decoder.c will show something
like:
next_op: pc=0/13 dp=0/270 C=0 J=0
- match? 30 30 00
- TAG: 30 266 CONS
next_op: pc=2/13 dp=4/270 C=1 J=0
- match? 02 02 00
- TAG: 02 257
- LEAF: 257
next_op: pc=5/13 dp=265/270 C=1 J=0
- match? 02 02 00
- TAG: 02 3
- LEAF: 3
next_op: pc=8/13 dp=270/270 C=1 J=0
next_op: pc=11/13 dp=270/270 C=1 J=0
- end cons t=4 dp=270 l=270/270
The next_op line for pc=8/13 should be followed by a match line.
This is not exploitable for X.509 certificates by means of shortening the
message and fixing up the ASN.1 CONS tags because:
(1) The relevant records being built up are cleared before use.
(2) If the message is shortened sufficiently to remove the public key, the
ASN.1 parse of the RSA key will fail quickly due to a lack of data.
(3) Extracted signature data is either turned into MPIs (which cope with a
0 length) or is simpler integers specifying algoritms and suchlike
(which can validly be 0); and
(4) The AKID and SKID extensions are optional and their removal is handled
without risking passing a NULL to asymmetric_key_generate_id().
(5) If the certificate is truncated sufficiently to remove the subject,
issuer or serialNumber then the ASN.1 decoder will fail with a 'Cons
stack underflow' return.
This is not exploitable for PKCS#7 messages by means of removal of elements
from such a message from the tail end of a sequence:
(1) Any shortened X.509 certs embedded in the PKCS#7 message are survivable
as detailed above.
(2) The message digest content isn't used if it shows a NULL pointer,
similarly, the authattrs aren't used if that shows a NULL pointer.
(3) A missing signature results in a NULL MPI - which the MPI routines deal
with.
(4) If data is NULL, it is expected that the message has detached content and
that is handled appropriately.
(5) If the serialNumber is excised, the unconditional action associated
with it will pick up the containing SEQUENCE instead, so no NULL
pointer will be seen here.
If both the issuer and the serialNumber are excised, the ASN.1 decode
will fail with an 'Unexpected tag' return.
In either case, there's no way to get to asymmetric_key_generate_id()
with a NULL pointer.
(6) Other fields are decoded to simple integers. Shortening the message
to omit an algorithm ID field will cause checks on this to fail early
in the verification process.
This can also be tested by snipping objects off of the end of the ASN.1 stream
such that mandatory tags are removed - or even from the end of internal
SEQUENCEs. If any mandatory tag is missing, the error EBADMSG *should* be
produced. Without this patch ERANGE or ENOPKG might be produced or the parse
may apparently succeed, perhaps with ENOKEY or EKEYREJECTED being produced
later, depending on what gets snipped.
Just snipping off the final BIT_STRING or OCTET_STRING from either sample
should be a start since both are mandatory and neither will cause an EBADMSG
without the patches

In an ASN.1 description where there is a CHOICE construct that contains
elements with IMPLICIT tags that refer to constructed types, actions to be
taken on those elements should be conditional on the corresponding element
actually being matched. Currently, however, such actions are performed
unconditionally in the middle of processing the CHOICE.
For example, look at elements 'b' and 'e' here:
A ::= SEQUENCE {
CHOICE {
b [0] IMPLICIT B ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_b }),
c [1] EXPLICIT C ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_c }),
d [2] EXPLICIT B ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_d }),
e [3] IMPLICIT C ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_e }),
f [4] IMPLICIT INTEGER ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_f })
}
} ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_A })
B ::= SET OF OBJECT IDENTIFIER ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_oid })
C ::= SET OF INTEGER ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_int })
They each have an action (do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_b and do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_e) that
should only be processed if that element is matched.
The problem is that there's no easy place to hang the action off in the
subclause (type B for element 'b' and type C for element 'e') because
subclause opcode sequences can be shared.
To fix this, introduce a conditional action opcode(ASN1_OP_MAYBE_ACT) that
the decoder only processes if the preceding match was successful. This can
be seen in an excerpt from the output of the fixed ASN.1 compiler for the
above ASN.1 description:
[ 13] = ASN1_OP_COND_MATCH_JUMP_OR_SKIP, // e
[ 14] = _tagn(CONT, CONS, 3),
[ 15] = _jump_target(45), // --> C
[ 16] = ASN1_OP_MAYBE_ACT,
[ 17] = _action(ACT_do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_e),
In this, if the op at [13] is matched (ie. element 'e' above) then the
action at [16] will be performed. However, if the op at [13] doesn't match
or is skipped because it is conditional and some previous op matched, then
the action at [16] will be ignored.
Note that to make this work in the decoder, the ASN1_OP_RETURN op must set
the flag to indicate that a match happened. This is necessary because the
_jump_target() seen above introduces a subclause (in this case an object of
type 'C') which is likely to alter the flag. Setting the flag here is okay
because to process a subclause, a match must have happened and caused a
jump.
This cannot be tested with the code as it stands, but rather affects future
code.

Fix an error in asn1_find_indefinite_length() whereby small definite length
elements of size 0x7f are incorrecly classified as non-small. Without this
fix, an error will be given as the length of the length will be perceived as
being very much greater than the maximum supported size.

asn1_find_indefinite_length() returns an error indicator of -1, which the
caller asn1_ber_decoder() places in a size_t (which is usually unsigned) and
then checks to see whether it is less than 0 (which it can't be). This can
lead to the following warning:
lib/asn1_decoder.c:320 asn1_ber_decoder()
warn: unsigned 'len' is never less than zero.
Instead, asn1_find_indefinite_length() update the caller's idea of the data
cursor and length separately from returning the error code.

Add an ASN.1 BER/DER/CER decoder. This uses the bytecode from the ASN.1
compiler in the previous patch to inform it as to what to expect to find in the
encoded byte stream. The output from the compiler also tells it what functions
to call on what tags, thus allowing the caller to retrieve information.
The decoder is called as follows:
int asn1_decoder(const struct asn1_decoder *decoder,
void *context,
const unsigned char *data,
size_t datalen);
The decoder argument points to the bytecode from the ASN.1 compiler. context
is the caller's context and is passed to the action functions. data and
datalen define the byte stream to be decoded.
Note that the decoder is currently limited to datalen being less than 64K.
This reduces the amount of stack space used by the decoder because ASN.1 is a
nested construct. Similarly, the decoder is limited to a maximum of 10 levels
of constructed data outside of a leaf node also in an effort to keep stack
usage down.
These restrictions can be raised if necessary.
