We still require these algorithms for e.g. EAP-MSCHAPv2, so the option is
enabled, by default. To use other providers (e.g. fips or even custom
ones), the option can be disabled and the providers to load/activate can
be configured in openssl.cnf. For instance, the following has the same
effect as enabling the option:
openssl_conf = openssl_init
[openssl_init]
providers = providers
[providers]
default = activate
legacy = activate
[activate]
activate = yes
Determined by whether the library provides curves for it or not.
For instance, in the OpenSSL 3 FIPS provider the Brainpool curves are
not included. And in the Fedora package several weak curves are
explicitly patched out and the Brainpool curves are omitted even in
non-FIPS mode.
NULL parameters (for classic PKCS#1 signature schemes) are explicitly
allowed (for any schemes for now), but we only expect parameters for
RSASSA-PSS. Before enforcing this, it was possible to modify the
parameters in the signatureAlgorithm field of the outer X.509 Certificate
structure to something different than the signature field of the signed,
inner tbsCertificate structure, allowing generating infinite versions
of valid certificates with different binary encodings. Now we accept at
most two (NULL and absent parameters).
Previously, only parameters of type OID, SEQUENCE and OCTET STRING were
returned (so e.g. random integers could be put in parameters and we
wouldn't know about it).
Log output is basically the same as with asn1_parser_t before, except
that parameters are always dumped (if any), that wasn't the case before
because ASN1_RAW (instead of ASN1_OBJ) was used.
random() allocates values in the range [0, RAND_MAX], with RAND_MAX usually
equaling INT_MAX = 2^31-1. Previously, values between 0 and 31 were added
directly to that offset before applying`% CACHE_SIZE` to get an index into
the cache array. If the random value was very high, this resulted in an
integer overflow and a negative index value and, therefore, an out-of-bounds
access of the array and in turn dereferencing invalid pointers when trying
to acquire the read lock. This most likely results in a segmentation fault.

Fixes: CVE-2021-41991
The `salt_len` field is signed because negative values are used to indicate
automatic salt lengths when generating signatures. This must never be the
case when validating them.
Not checking this could lead to an integer overflow below. The value is
assigned to the `len` field of a chunk (`size_t`), which is further used
in calculations to check the padding structure and (if that is passed by
a matching crafted signature value) eventually a memcpy() that will result
in a segmentation fault.

Fixes: CVE-2021-41990
The `salt_len` member in the struct is of type `ssize_t` because we use
negative values for special automatic salt lengths when generating
signatures. This change ensures that `salt_len` will not overflow the
`len` fields of chunks (`size_t`), which could lead to integer overflows
when validating signatures (see the next commit).

This is mostly for the non-mmap case as with mmap available, access to the
unmapped memory isn't easily possible (e.g. opening the same area with
MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_UNINITIALIZED is usually prevented by the missing
CONFIG_MMAP_ALLOW_UNINITIALIZED option in most kernels).
Using the workaround with the EVP interface, which we use to derive shared
keys since 74e02ff5e6 ("openssl: Mainly use EVP interface for ECDH"),
would actually require us to register the OIDs of these curves as NID.
Otherwise, the two EC_GROUPs used by private and public key objects
are not considered the same and the key derivation fails.
Since the curves are supported by OpenSSL since 1.0.2 it's probably rare to
find a version without them nowadays. One exception is the old BoringSSL
version we still use on Android, which defines the NIDs but not the curve
data. However, that version also lacks support to register OIDs as NIDs,
so the only option to support these groups there would be to got back to not
using the EVP interface, which isn't in anyone's interest. If there really
is a need for them there, we could probably patch BoringSSL or use OpenSSL.
OpenSSL enforces a minimum of 14 bytes (112 bits) on the key size when
used in FIPS-mode (as required by SP 800-131A). So by using an empty
string, instantiation always failed. 32 bytes (256 bits) should be safe
for now.

If a PKCS#11 library/token doesn't provide one or more attributes via
C_GetAttributeValue(), we get back CKR_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_INVALID (similar
for protected attributes where CKR_ATTRIBUTE_SENSITIVE is returned).
This is not an error as the spec demands that all attributes have been
processed with the unavailable attributes having set their length
field to CK_UNAVAILABLE_INFORMATION.
We use this to handle the CKA_TRUSTED attribute, which some tokens
apparently don't support. We previously used a version check to remove
the attribute from the call but even the latest spec doesn't make the
attribute mandatory (it's just in a list of "common" attributes for
CKO_CERTIFICATE objects, without a default value), so there are current
tokens that don't support it and prevent us from enumerating certificates.
