I have found the cause of the failure, which I added as a C comment:
/*
* OpenSSL 1.1.1d and earlier crashes on some zero-length plaintext
* and ciphertext strings. It crashes on an encryption call to
* EVP_EncryptFinal_ex(() in GCM mode of zero-length strings if
* plaintext is NULL, even though plaintext_len is zero. Setting
* plaintext to non-NULL allows it to work. In KW/KWP mode,
* zero-length strings fail if plaintext_len = 0 and plaintext is
* non-NULL (the opposite). OpenSSL 1.1.1e+ is fine with all options.
*/
else if (cipher == PG_CIPHER_AES_GCM)
{
plaintext_len = 0;
plaintext = pg_malloc0(1);
}
All the tests pass now. The current src/test directory is 19MB, and
adding these tests takes it to 23MB, or a 20% increase. That seems like
a lot. It is testing 128-bit and 256-bit keys --- should we do fewer
tests, or just test 256, or use gzip to compress the tests by 50%?
(Does every platform have gzip?)
My next step is to add the high-level tests.
