Hi all,

as we were running openbsc with a nanobts in a nitb configuration at our 
institute we observed two bugs in the authentification part of openbsc.

First:
In file openbsc/openbsc/src/libmsc/db.c on line 372 there is 

"ainfo->a3a8_ki_len = sizeof(ainfo->a3a8_ki_len);" 

which takes the sizeof of the length value. This always results in a wrong 
keylength and hence no authentification will ever be executed. This should 
rather be changed to:

ainfo->a3a8_ki_len = sizeof(ainfo->a3a8_ki);


Secondly:
I haven't found the piece of code which is responsible for this bug particulary 
but:
Whenever the key for the a3a8_comp128 is being read from the database a shift 
of one bit occurs.

i.e. when you set the a3a8_key in the hlr.sqlite3 to 
01010101010101010101010101010101 the value being processed as key in the 
a3a8_comp128 algorithm is 02020202020202020202020202020202. 

Best Regards,
Robert Ingr
