Bug #: 54620
Summary: sha1.c has incorrect math if sizeof(size_t) is 8
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.8.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: other
AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: pikegadgets+gcc@gmail.com
In libiberty/sha1.*, I don't see anything saying that sha1_process_block() has
a size limit on its input buffer, and if the length of the buffer is big (e.g.,
2^32 on a 64-bit machine) then this code won't correctly add a 64-bit number to
64-bit number:
/* First increment the byte count. RFC 1321 specifies the possible
length of the file up to 2^64 bits. Here we only compute the
number of bytes. Do a double word increment. */
ctx->total[0] += len;
if (ctx->total[0] < len)
++ctx->total[1];
The above is at sha1.c around line 302.
Also, Florian Weimer pointed out that code nearby uses "len & ~63" when it
perhaps should use something like "len & (~(size_t)63)".
Similar bug(s) are in md5.*. See bug 39064 for details.
