When building with OPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms
and OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers don't exist. The corresponding functionality is
handled automatically with OpenSSL 1.1.
Not all backends feature the low level API needed to compute a Diffie-Hellman
secret, but some of them directly implement Diffie-Hellman support with opaque
private data. The later approach is now generalized and backends are
responsible for all Diffie Hellman computations.
As a side effect, procedures/macros _libssh2_bn_rand and _libssh2_bn_mod_exp
are no longer needed outside the backends.
This partially reverts commit f4f2298ef3
because it caused the compatibility code to call initialization routines
redundantly, leading to memory leakage with OpenSSL 1.1 and broken curl
test-suite in Fedora:
88 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 5 of 8

* close https://github.com/libssh2/libssh2/issues/69
* sync a declaration with the rest of similar ones
* handle EVP_MD_CTX_new() returning NULL with OpenSSL 1.1.0
* fix potential memory leak with OpenSSL 1.1.0 in
_libssh2_*_init() functions, when EVP_MD_CTX_new() succeeds,
but EVP_DigestInit() fails.
When using the OpenSSL libraries in FIPS mode, the function call
EVP_DigestInit() is actually #defined to FIPS_digestinit().
Unfortunately wheres EVP_DigestInit() initialises the context and then
calls EVP_DigestInit_ex(), this function assumes that the context has
been pre-initialised and crashes when it isn't.
Bug: https://trac.libssh2.org/ticket/279Fixes#279
libssh2 used to explicitly check for libgcrypt and default to OpenSSL.
Now all possible crypto libraries are checked for explicitly, making
the addition of further crypto libraries both simpler and cleaner.
If the function that extracts/computes the public key from a private key
fails the errors it reports were masked by the function calling it. This
patch modifies the key extraction function to return errors using
_libssh_error() function. The error messages are tweaked to contain
reference to the failed operaton in addition to the reason.
* AUTHORS: - add my name
* libgcrypt.c: _libssh2_pub_priv_keyfile(): - return a more verbose
error using
_libssh2_error() func.
* openssl.c: - modify call graph of _libssh2_pub_priv_keyfile() to use
_libssh2_error for error reporting();
* userauth.c: - tweak functions calling _libssh2_pub_priv_keyfile() not
to shadow error messages
Make sure we don't clear or reset static structs after first init so
that they work fine even when used from multiple threads. Init the
structs in the global init.

Fixes#229 (again)
make_ctr_evp() is changed to take a struct pointer, and then each
_libssh2_EVP_aes_[keylen]_ctr function is made to pass in their own
static struct
Reported by: John Engstrom
Fixes#229
Pass a NULL pointer for the publickey parameter of
libssh2_userauth_publickey_fromfile and
libssh2_userauth_hostbased_fromfile functions. In this case, the
functions recompute the public key from the private key file data.
This is work done by Jean-Louis CHARTON
<Jean-Louis.CHARTON@oikialog.com>, then adapted by Mark Smith and
slightly edited further by me Daniel.
WARNING: this does leave the feature NOT WORKING when libssh2 is built
to use libgcrypt instead of OpenSSL simply due to lack of
implementation.
Make use of the EVP interface for the AES-funktion. Using this method
supports the use of different ENGINES in OpenSSL for the AES function
(and the direct call to the AES_encrypt should not be used according to
openssl.org)
I'll introduce a new internal function set named
_libssh2_store_u32
_libssh2_store_u64
_libssh2_store_str
That can be used all through the library to build binary outgoing
packets. Using these instead of the current approach removes
hundreds of lines from the library while at the same time greatly
enhances readability. I've not yet fully converted everything to
use these functions.
I've converted LOTS of 'unsigned long' to 'size_t' where
data/string lengths are dealt with internally. This is The Right
Thing and it will help us make the transition to our
size_t-polished API later on as well.
I'm removing the PACKET_* error codes. They were originally
introduced as a set of separate error codes from the transport
layer, but having its own set of errors turned out to be very
awkward and they were then converted into a set of #defines that
simply maps them to the global libssh2 error codes instead. Now,
I'l take the next logical step and simply replace the PACKET_*
defines with the actual LIBSSH2_ERROR_* defines. It will increase
readability and decrease confusion.
I also separated packet stuff into its own packet.h header file.
DSA signatures consist of two 160-bit integers called r and s. In ssh-dss
signature blobs r and s are stored directly after each other in binary
representation, making up a 320-bit (40 byte) string. (See RFC4253 p14.)
The crypto wrappers in libssh2 would either pack r and s incorrectly, or
fail, when at least one integer was small enough to be stored in 19 bytes
or less.
The patch ensures that r and s are always stored as two 160 bit numbers.
