Reject signatures with non zero unused bits. + + If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject + the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits. + + 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency. + + Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the + certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure + errors for some broken certificates. + + Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue. + + 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER. + + Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received + signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch. + + This will reject various cases including garbage after signature + (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS + program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs + (negative or with leading zeroes). + + Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson + of the OpenSSL core team. + + (CVE-2014-8275) + [Steve Henson] + *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable |
