Now i am adding code to check the resulting lenght from EVP routines:
=====================================================
#define ESS_CRYPTO_CRYPT_BUFFER_SIZE (56)
......
bool_t esscrypto_decryptString(unsigned char *toDecrypt,
unsigned char *passPhrase,
int sizeOfStrToDecrypt,
int maxDecryptedStringSize,
int *sizeOfDecryptedString,
unsigned char **decryptedString)
{
EVP_CIPHER_CTX openSSLDecryptionStructure;
int tempOutputLength = 0;
int i = 0;
int tmpOutputBufferPosition = 0;
int tmpOffset = 0;
char *tempPassPhrase = NULL;
int currentDecryptedStrLength = 0;
char *tempPtr = NULL;
......
for (i = 0; i < sizeOfStrToDecrypt/ ESS_CRYPTO_CRYPT_BUFFER_SIZE; i++)
{
/* decrypt the contents of the buffer */
EVP_DecryptUpdate(&openSSLDecryptionStructure,
&((*decryptedString)[tmpOutputBufferPosition]),
&tmpOffset,
&toDecrypt[tmpOutputBufferPosition],
ESS_CRYPTO_CRYPT_BUFFER_SIZE);
/* Increment the position we are at in decrypting the string */
tmpOutputBufferPosition = tmpOutputBufferPosition + tmpOffset;
LOGFORCE("EVP_DecryptUpdate1: tmpOffset is %d", tmpOffset); //xq
}
......
/*
* if there is data left to decrypt that did not fit exactly within
* the buffer, decrypt that remaining bit.
******/
if ( sizeOfStrToDecrypt % ESS_CRYPTO_CRYPT_BUFFER_SIZE)
{
/* decrypt the contents of the buffer */
EVP_DecryptUpdate(&openSSLDecryptionStructure,
&((*decryptedString)[tmpOutputBufferPosition]),
&tmpOffset,
&toDecrypt[tmpOutputBufferPosition],
sizeOfStrToDecrypt % ESS_CRYPTO_CRYPT_BUFFER_SIZE);
/* Increment the position we are at in decrypting the string */
tmpOutputBufferPosition = tmpOutputBufferPosition + tmpOffset;
LOGFORCE("EVP_DecryptUpdate2: tmpOffset is %d", tmpOffset); //xq
}
......
/* finalize the results from decryption (check CRC) */
EVP_DecryptFinal(&openSSLDecryptionStructure,
&((*decryptedString)[tmpOutputBufferPosition]),
&tmpOffset);
LOGFORCE("EVP_DecryptFinal: tmpOffset is %d", tmpOffset); //xq
/* set the final length of the decrypted string */
*sizeOfDecryptedString = tmpOutputBufferPosition + tmpOffset;
LOGFORCE("*sizeOfDecryptedString is %d", *sizeOfDecryptedString);
for (i = 0; i < *sizeOfDecryptedString; i++)
{
LOGFORCE("char in final result is %c", (*decryptedString)[i]);
}
......
=====================================================
The lenght of the password "$elkins02" is only 9 characters, far less than
ESS_CRYPTO_CRYPT_BUFFER_SIZE (56), so only the later two LOGFORCE are recorded.
But still, the error seems to come from EVP APIs.
For user with password "#elkins02", the log is:
=====================================================
<smbipc> (Thu Mar 13 2008 02:50:39.354) <p17565,t16384,essCrypto.c,563>

=====================================================
This is correct.
For user with password "$elkins02", the log is:
=====================================================
<smbipc> (Thu Mar 13 2008 02:51:22.509) <p17565,t16384,essCrypto.c,563>

INFO>> *sizeOfDecryptedString is 0
=====================================================
The prototype of EVP_DecryptUpdate() is "int EVP_DecryptUpdate(EVP_CIPHER_CTX
*ctx, unsigned char *out, int *outl, unsigned char *in, int inl)", so this
tmpOffset is 0 means something wrong with the output length.
Is this the evidence of a defect of crypto library?
