From 610fdbbdb0abf65c1e7620143afccd62cd162a8f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steffan Karger <steffan@karger.me> Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2016 16:46:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Discourage using 64-bit block ciphers As discussed with the development team, we should start moving away from ciphers with a small block size. For OpenVPN in particular this means moving away from 64-bit block ciphers, towards 128-bit block ciphers. This patch makes a start with that by moving ciphers with a block size < 128 bits to the bottom of the --show-ciphers output, and printing a warning in the connection phase if such a cipher is used. While touching this function, improve the output of --show-ciphers by ordering the output alphabetically, and changing the output format slightly. [DS: Fixed C89 issues in patch, moving 'int nid' and 'size_t i' declaration to begining of function instead of in the for-loops. This is also required to not break building on stricter compiler setups where C99 must be enabled explicitly ] Signed-off-by: Steffan Karger <steffan@karger.me> Acked-by: Arne Schwabe <arne@rfc2549.org> Message-Id: <1471358761-8828-1-git-send-email-steffan@karger.me> URL: https://www.mail-archive.com/openvpn-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00030.html CVE: 2016-6329 Signed-off-by: David Sommerseth <davids@openvpn.net> --- src/openvpn/crypto.c | 11 +++-- src/openvpn/crypto_openssl.c | 110 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- src/openvpn/crypto_polarssl.c | 41 ++++++++++++++-- tests/t_lpback.sh | 2 +- 4 files changed, 135 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/openvpn/crypto.c b/src/openvpn/crypto.c index 400bf117..552e3332 100644 --- a/src/openvpn/crypto.c +++ b/src/openvpn/crypto.c @@ -492,9 +492,14 @@ init_key_ctx (struct key_ctx *ctx, struct key *key, dmsg (D_SHOW_KEYS, "%s: CIPHER KEY: %s", prefix, format_hex (key->cipher, kt->cipher_length, 0, &gc)); dmsg (D_CRYPTO_DEBUG, "%s: CIPHER block_size=%d iv_size=%d", - prefix, - cipher_kt_block_size(kt->cipher), - cipher_kt_iv_size(kt->cipher)); + prefix, cipher_kt_block_size(kt->cipher), + cipher_kt_iv_size(kt->cipher)); + if (cipher_kt_block_size(kt->cipher) < 128/8) + { + msg (M_WARN, "WARNING: this cipher's block size is less than 128 bit " + "(%d bit).
