Hi All,

In ssl3_write_bytes, if (len < tot) we are returning failure with 
SSL_R_BAD_LENGTH error. In this place I hope we should set “tot” back to 
“s->s3->wnum”. Otherwise when application calls back SSL_write with correct 
buffer, it causes serious problem (“tot” is 0 and iLeft is not NULL). I hope we 
should do like below.

    if (len < tot) {
        s->s3->wnum = tot;
        SSLerr(SSL_F_SSL3_WRITE_BYTES, SSL_R_BAD_LENGTH);
       return (-1);
    }

And also we should do one additional check for “len” as mentioned in my 
previous mail.

    if ((len < tot) || ((tot != 0) && (len < (tot + s->s3->wpend_tot)))){
        s->s3->wnum = tot;
        SSLerr(SSL_F_SSL3_WRITE_BYTES, SSL_R_BAD_LENGTH);
       return (-1);
    }

Regards,
Ashok

Subject: In ssl3_write_bytes, some checks related to hanlding write failure are 
missing

Hi,

I feel there is a check missing in ssl3_write_bytes, in case of handling write 
failure.

Consider SSL_write is called with 20000 bytes buffer, then internally in 
ssl3_write_bytes we try to send it as two record (16384 and 3616). If TCP send 
failed for the second record then we store the states internally (wnum, 
wpend_tot and wpend_buf) and return back the result.

Later application has to call SSL_write with same buffer, if it calls with 
different buffer of length 100 byte then we fail that in ssl3_write_bytes using 
the check (len < tot).

But consider application calls with buffer of size 18000 bytes and 
SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER is enabled. Then (len < tot) will not 
succeed as tot is 16384. Then it will call ssl3_write_pending to send the 
remaining 3616 record. If it succeeds we are incrementing tot, (tot += i). Now 
tot will have 20000.

Later there is a check (tot == len), this will not succeed. Then directly we 
are doing n = (len - tot), this will overflow and store a value close to 2^32 
in n. Then it will cause out of bound access to the application buffer "buf".

I hope we should have one more check (len < (tot + s->s3->wpend_tot)) before 
calling ssl3_write_pending.

    if ((len < tot) || (len < (tot + s->s3->wpend_tot))){
        SSLerr(SSL_F_SSL3_WRITE_BYTES, SSL_R_BAD_LENGTH);
        return (-1);
}

Note : I am referring 1.0.2k version of OpenSSL.

Regards,
Ashok
