2024-05-01CMP: add support for genm with crlStatusList and genp with crlsDr. David von Oheimb
Introduce the capability to retrieve and update Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) in the CMP client, as specified in section 4.3.4 of RFC 9483. To request a CRL update, the CMP client can send a genm message with the option -infotype crlStatusList. The server will respond with a genp message containing the updated CRL, using the -infoType id-it-crls. The client can then save the CRL in a specified file using the -crlout parameter.

2024-04-29doc: clarify SSL_CIPHER_description allocationDaniel McCarney
Previously the documentation for `SSL_CIPHER_description` said: > If buf is provided, it must be at least 128 bytes, otherwise a buffer > will be allocated using OPENSSL_malloc(). In reality, `OPENSSL_malloc` is only invoked if the provided `buf` argument is `NULL`. If the `buf` arg is not `NULL`, but smaller than 128 bytes, the function returns `NULL` without attempting to allocate a new buffer for the description. This commit adjusts the documentation to better describe the implemented behaviour.

2024-04-24Attribute certificate printing functionsDamian Hobson-Garcia
Add functions to print an attribute certificate. Several attribute value types defined by the RFC 5755 specification are multi-field values (i.e ASN1_SEQUENCE rather than an ASN1_STRING or similar format). Currently those values are printed using `ASN1_item_print`. A more user-friendly output mechanism (maybe similar to the i2r_ functions used for X509 extensions) could be added in future.

2024-04-24Introduce new internal hashtable implementationNeil Horman
Create a new hashtable that is more efficient than the existing LHASH_OF implementation. the new ossl_ht api offers several new features that improve performance opportunistically * A more generalized hash function. Currently using fnv1a, provides a more general hash function, but can still be overridden where needed * Improved locking and reference counting. This hash table is internally locked with an RCU lock, and optionally reference counts elements, allowing for users to not have to create and manage their own read/write locks * Lockless operation. The hash table can be configured to operate locklessly on the read side, improving performance, at the sacrifice of the ability to grow the hash table or delete elements from it * A filter function allowing for the retrieval of several elements at a time matching a given criteria without having to hold a lock permanently * a doall_until iterator variant, that allows callers which need to iterate over the entire hash table until a given condition is met (as defined by the return value of the iterator callback). This allows for callers attempting to do expensive cache searches for a small number of elements to terminate the iteration early, saving cpu cycles * Dynamic type safety. The hash table provides operations to set and get data of a specific type without having to define a type at the instatiation point * Multiple data type storage. The hash table can store multiple data types allowing for more flexible usage * Ubsan safety. Because the API deals with concrete single types (HT_KEY and HT_VALUE), leaving specific type casting to the call recipient with dynamic type validation, this implementation is safe from the ubsan undefined behavior warnings that require additional thunking on callbacks. Testing of this new hashtable with an equivalent hash function, I can observe approximately a 6% performance improvement in the lhash_test Reviewed-by: Tomas Mraz <tomas@openssl.org> Reviewed-by: Paul Dale <pauli@openssl.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/23671)
2024-04-24Add CRYPTO_atomic_store apiNeil Horman
Generally we can get away with just using CRYPTO_atomic_load to do stores by reversing the source and target variables, but doing so creates a problem for the thread sanitizer as CRYPTO_atomic_load hard codes an __ATOMIC_ACQUIRE constraint, which confuses tsan into thinking that loads and stores aren't properly ordered, leading to RAW/WAR hazzards getting reported. Instead create a CRYPTO_atomic_store api that is identical to the load variant, save for the fact that the value is a unit64_t rather than a pointer that gets stored using an __ATOMIC_RELEASE constraint, satisfying tsan.

2024-04-04Update Documentation for EVP_DigestSign, EVP_DigestVerify.slontis
Fixes #23075 In OpenSSL 3.2 EVP_DigestSign and EVP_DigestVerify were changed so that a flag is set once these functions do a one-shot sign or verify operation. This PR updates the documentation to match the behaviour. Investigations showed that prior to 3.2 different key type behaved differently if multiple calls were done. By accident X25519 and X448 would produce the same signature, but ECDSA and RSA remembered the digest state between calls, so the signature was different when multiple calls were done. Because of this undefined behaviour something needed to be done, so keeping the 'only allow it to be called once' behaviour seems a reasonable approach.
