Subject: [PATCH v2] X.509: unpack RSA signatureValue field from BIT STRING
Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2018 15:39:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6f5cdb8a-809e-6651-0e32-711d415a8b38@maciej.szmigiero.name> (raw)
The signatureValue field of a X.509 certificate is encoded as a BIT STRING.
For RSA signatures this BIT STRING is of so-called primitive subtype, which
contains a u8 prefix indicating a count of unused bits in the encoding.
We have to strip this prefix from signature data, just as we already do for
key data in x509_extract_key_data() function.
This wasn't noticed earlier because this prefix byte is zero for RSA key
sizes divisible by 8. Since BIT STRING is a big-endian encoding adding zero
prefixes has no bearing on its value.
The signature length, however was incorrect, which is a problem for RSA
implementations that need it to be exactly correct (like AMD CCP).

Fixes: c26fd69fa009 ("X.509: Add a crypto key parser for binary (DER) X.509 certificates")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
---
This is a resend of a patch that was previously submitted in one series
with CCP driver changes since this particular patch should go through
the security (rather than crypto) tree.
Changes from v1: Change '!' to '== 0'.
