I'm reusing the 'id' string from each BackendVtable as the name of its
command-line option, which means I don't need to manually implement an
option for each new protocol.
The previous 'name' field was awkwardly serving both purposes: it was
a machine-readable identifier for the backend used in the saved
session format, and it was also used in error messages when Plink
wanted to complain that it didn't support a particular backend. Now
there are two separate name fields for those purposes.
Now you can type an absolute pathname (starting with '/') into the
hostname box in Unix GUI PuTTY, or into the hostname slot on the Unix
Plink command line, and the effect will be that PuTTY makes an AF_UNIX
connection to the specified Unix-domain socket in place of a TCP/IP
connection.
I don't _yet_ know of anyone running SSH on a Unix-domain socket, but
at the very least it'll be useful to me for debugging and testing, and
I'm pretty sure there will be other specialist uses sooner or later.
Sometimes, within a switch statement, you want to declare local
variables specific to the handler for one particular case. Until now
I've mostly been writing this in the form
switch (discriminant) {
case SIMPLE:
do stuff;
break;
case COMPLICATED:
{
declare variables;
do stuff;
}
break;
}
which is ugly because the two pieces of essentially similar code
appear at different indent levels, and also inconvenient because you
have less horizontal space available to write the complicated case
handler in - particuarly undesirable because _complicated_ case
handlers are the ones most likely to need all the space they can get!
After encountering a rather nicer idiom in the LLVM source code, and
after a bit of hackery this morning figuring out how to persuade
Emacs's auto-indent to do what I wanted with it, I've decided to move
to an idiom in which the open brace comes right after the case
statement, and the code within it is indented the same as it would
have been without the brace. Then the whole case handler (including
the break) lives inside those braces, and you get something that looks
more like this:
switch (discriminant) {
case SIMPLE:
do stuff;
break;
case COMPLICATED: {
declare variables;
do stuff;
break;
}
}
This commit is a big-bang change that reformats all the complicated
case handlers I could find into the new layout. This is particularly
nice in the Pageant main function, in which almost _every_ case
handler had a bundle of variables and was long and complicated. (In
fact that's what motivated me to get round to this.) Some of the
innermost parts of the terminal escape-sequence handling are also
breathing a bit easier now the horizontal pressure on them is
relieved.
(Also, in a few cases, I was able to remove the extra braces
completely, because the only variable local to the case handler was a
loop variable which our new C99 policy allows me to move into the
initialiser clause of its for statement.)
Viewed with whitespace ignored, this is not too disruptive a change.
Downstream patches that conflict with it may need to be reapplied
using --ignore-whitespace or similar.
This links up the new re-encryption facilities to the Unix Pageant
client-mode command line. Analogously to -d and -D, 'pageant -r key-id'
re-encrypts a single key, and 'pageant -R' re-encrypts everything.
The reencrypt-all request is unusual in its ability to be _partially_
successful. To handle this I've introduced a new return status,
PAGEANT_ACTION_WARNING. At the moment, users of this client code don't
expect it to appear on any request, and I'll make them watch for it
only in the case where I know a particular function can generate it.
These requests parallel 'delete key' and 'delete all keys', but they
work on keys which you originally uploaded in encrypted form: they
cause Pageant to delete only the _decrypted_ form of the key, so that
the next attempt to use the key will need to re-prompt for its
passphrase.
We set it when we started prompting for a passphrase, and never unset
it again when the passphrase prompt either succeeded or failed. Until
now it hasn't mattered, because the only use of the flag is to
suppress duplicate prompts, and once a key has been decrypted, we
never need to prompt for it again, duplicate or otherwise. But that's
about to change, so now this bug needs fixing.
There was a lot of ugly, repetitive, error-prone code that decoded
agent responses in raw data buffers. Now my internal client query
function is returning something that works as a BinarySource, so we
can decode agent responses using the marshal.h system like any other
SSH-formatted message in this code base.
While I'm at it, I've centralised more of the parsing of key lists
(saving repetition in pageant_add_key and pageant_enum_keys),
including merging most of the logic between SSH-1 and SSH-2. The old
functions pageant_get_keylist1 and pageant_get_keylist2 aren't exposed
in pageant.h any more, because they no longer exist in that form, and
also because nothing was using them anyway. (Windows Pageant was using
the separate pageant_nth_ssh2_key() functions that talk directly to
the core, and Unix Pageant was using the more cooked client function
pageant_enum_keys.)
Apparently a handful of calls to that particular function managed to
miss my big-bang conversion to using bool where appropriate, and were
still being called with constants 0 and 1.
We received a report that if you enable Windows 10's high-contrast
mode, the text in PuTTY's installer UI becomes invisible, because it's
displayed in the system default foreground colour against a background
of the white right-hand side of our 'msidialog.bmp' image. That's fine
when the system default fg is black, but high-contrast mode flips it
to white, and now you have white on white text, oops.
Some research in the WiX bug tracker suggests that in Windows 10 you
don't actually have to use BMP files for your installer images any
more: you can use PNG, and PNGs can be transparent. However, someone
else reported that that only works in up-to-date versions of Windows.
And in fact there's no need to go that far. A more elegant answer is
to simply not cover the whole dialog box with our background image in
the first place. I've reduced the size of the background image so that
it _only_ contains the pretty picture on the left-hand side, and omits
the big white rectangle that used to sit under the text. So now the
RHS of the dialog is not covered by any image at all, which has the
same effect as it being covered with a transparent image, except that
it doesn't require transparency support from msiexec. Either way, the
background for the text ends up being the system's default dialog-box
background, in the absence of any images or controls placed on top of
it - so when the high-contrast mode is enabled, it flips to black at
the same time as the text flips to white, and everything works as it
should.
The slight snag is that the pre-cooked WiX UI dialog specifications
let you override the background image itself, but not the Width and
Height fields in the control specifications that refer to them. So if
you just try to drop in a narrow image in the most obvious way, it
gets stretched across the whole window.
But that's not a show-stopper, because we're not 100% dependent on
getting WiX to produce exactly the right output. We already have the
technology to postprocess the MSI _after_ it comes out of WiX: we're
using it to fiddle the target-platform field for the Windows on Arm
installers. So all I had to do was to turn msiplatform.py into a more
general msifixup.py, add a second option to change the width of the
dialog background image, and run it on the x86 installers as well as
the Arm ones.
A PageantSignOp for a not-yet-decrypted key was being linked on to its
key's blocked_requests queue twice, mangling the linked list integrity
and causing segfaults. Now we take care to NULL out the pointers
within the signop to indicate that it isn't currently on the queue,
and check whether it's currently linked before linking or unlinking it.
Reading draft-miller-ssh-agent-04 more carefully, I see that I missed
a few things from the extension-message spec. Firstly, there's an
extension request "query" which is supposed to list all the extensions
you support. Secondly, if you recognise an extension-request name but
are then unable to fulfill the request for some other reason, you're
supposed to return a new kind of failure message that's distinct from
SSH_AGENT_FAILURE, because for extensions, the latter is reserved for
"I don't even know what this extension name means at all".
I've fixed both of those bugs in Pageant by making a centralised map
of known extension names to an enumeration of internal ids, and an
array containing the name for each id. So we can reliably answer the
"query" extension by iterating over that array, and also use the same
array to recognise known extensions up front and give them centralised
processing (in particular, resetting the failure-message type) before
switching on the particular extension index.
This reads data from standard input, turns it into an SSH-2 sign
request, and writes the resulting signature blob to standard output.
I don't really anticipate many uses for this other than testing. But
it _is_ convenient for testing changes to Pageant itself: it lets me
ask for a signature without first having to construct a pointless SSH
session that will accept the relevant key.
This will allow it to be used more conveniently for things other than
key files.
For the moment, the implementation still lives in sshpubk.c. Moving it
out into utils.c or misc.c would be nicer, but it has awkward
dependencies on marshal.c and the per-platform f_open function.
Perhaps another time.
Ever since I reworked the SSH code to have multiple internal packet
queues, there's been a long-standing FIXME in ssh_sendbuffer() saying
that we ought to include the data buffered in those queues as part of
reporting how much data is buffered on standard input.
Recently a user reported that 'proftpd', or rather its 'mod_sftp'
add-on that implements an SFTP-only SSH server, exposes a bug related
to that missing piece of code. The xfer_upload system in sftp.c starts
by pushing SFTP write messages into the SSH code for as long as
sftp_sendbuffer() (which ends up at ssh_sendbuffer()) reports that not
too much data is buffered locally. In fact what happens is that all
those messages end up on the packet queues between SSH protocol
layers, so they're not counted by sftp_sendbuffer(), so we just keep
going until there's some other reason to stop.
Usually the reason we stop is because we've filled up the SFTP
channel's SSH-layer window, so we need the server to send us a
WINDOW_ADJUST before we're allowed to send any more data. So we return
to the main event loop and start waiting for reply packets. And when
the window is moderate (e.g. OpenSSH currently seems to present about
2MB), this isn't really noticeable.
But proftpd presents the maximum-size window of 2^32-1 bytes, and as a
result we just keep shovelling more and more packets into the internal
packet queues until PSFTP has grown to 4GB in size, and only then do
we even return to the event loop and start actually sending them down
the network. Moreover, this happens again at rekey time, because while
a rekey is in progress, ssh2transport stops emptying the queue of
outgoing packets sent by its higher layer - so, again, everything just
keeps buffering up somewhere that sftp_sendbuffer can't see it.
But this commit fixes it! Each PacketProtocolLayer now provides a
vtable method for asking how much data it currently has queued. Most
of them share a default implementation which just returns the newly
added total_size field from their pq_out; the exception is
ssh2transport, which also has to account for data queued in its higher
layer. And ssh_sendbuffer() adds that on to the quantity it already
knew about in other locations, to give a more realistic idea of the
currently buffered data.
(cherry picked from commit cd97b7e7ea)
The queue-node structure shared between PktIn and PktOut now has a
'formal_size' field, which is initialised appropriately by the various
packet constructors. And the PacketQueue structure has a 'total_size'
field which tracks the sum of the formal sizes of all the packets on
the queue, and is automatically updated by the push, pop and
concatenate functions.
No functional change, and nothing uses the new fields yet: this is
infrastructure that will be used in the next commit.

If the agent client code doesn't even manage to read a full response
message at all (for example, because the agent it's talking to is
Pageant running in debug mode and you just ^Ced it or it crashed,
which is what's been happening to me all afternoon), then previously,
the userauth code would loop back round to the top of the main loop
without having actually sent any request, so the client code would
deadlock waiting for a response to nothing.

Apparently it's been set on Telnet for the entire lifetime of PSCP. It

When I came to actually remove the global 'flags' word, I found that I
got compile failures in two functions that should never have been
accessing it at all, because they forgot to declare _local_ variables
of the same name. Yikes!
(Of course, _now_ that's harmless, because I've just removed all the
actual semantics from the global variable. But I'm about to remove the
variable too, so these bugs would become compile failures.)

A recent test-compile at high warning level points out that if you
define a macro with a ... at the end of the parameter list, then every
call should at least include the comma before the variadic part. That
is, if you #define MACRO(x,y,...) then you shouldn't call MACRO(1,2)
with no comma after the 2. But that's what I had done in one of my
definitions of FUNC0 in the fiddly testcrypt system.
In a similar vein, it's a mistake to use the preprocessor 'defined'
operator when it's expanded from another macro. Adjusted the setup of
BB_OK in mpint_i.h to avoid doing that.
(Neither of these has yet caused a problem in any real compile, but
best to fix them before they do.)
(cherry picked from commit f40d31b5cc)
Similarly to the previous commit, this function had an inconsistent
parameter list between Unix and Windows, because the Windows source
file that defines it (winnet.c) didn't include ssh.h where its
prototype lives, so the compiler never checked.
Luckily, the discrepancy was that the Windows version of the function
was declared as taking an extra parameter which it ignored, so the fix
is very easy.
(cherry picked from commit b7f011aed7)
In commit b4c8fd9d8 which introduced the Seat trait, I got a bit
confused about the prototype of new_prompts(). Previously it took a
'Frontend *' parameter; I edited the call sites to pass a 'Seat *'
instead, but the actual function definition takes no parameters at all
- and rightly so, because the 'Frontend *' inside the prompts_t has
been removed and _not_ replaced with a 'Seat *', so the constructor
would have nothing to do with such a thing anyway.
But I wrote the function declaration in putty.h with '()' rather than
'(void)' (too much time spent in C++), and so the compiler never
spotted the mismatch.
Now new_prompts() is consistently nullary everywhere it appears: the
prototype in the header is a proper (void) one, and the call sites
have been modified to not pointlessly give it a Seat or null pointer.

Leak Sanitiser was kind enough to point this out to me during testing

I carefully set up separate mechanisms for the "-96" suffix on the
hash name and the "bug-compatible" in parens after it, so that the
latter could share its parens with annotations from the underlying
hash. And then I forgot to _use_ the second mechanism!
Also added ssh2_mac_text_name to the testcrypt API so I could check it
easily. The result before this fix:
>>> ssh2_mac_text_name(ssh2_mac_new("hmac_sha1_96_buggy", None))
'HMAC-SHA-1-96 (bug-compatible) (unaccelerated)'
And after, which is what I intended all along:
>>> ssh2_mac_text_name(ssh2_mac_new("hmac_sha1_96_buggy", None))
'HMAC-SHA-1-96 (bug-compatible, unaccelerated)'

This was pointed out as a compiler warning when I test-built with
up-to-date clang-cl. It looks as if it would cause the IDM_FULLSCREEN
item on the system menu to be wrongly greyed/ungreyed, but in fact I
think it's benign, because MF_BYCOMMAND == 0. So it's _just_ a
warning fix, luckily!

A user reports that Visual Studio 2013 and earlier have printf
implementations in their C library that don't support the 'z' modifier
to indicate that an integer argument is size_t. The 'I' modifier
apparently works in place of it.
To avoid littering ifdefs everywhere, I've invented my own inttypes.h
style macros to wrap size_t formatting directives, which are defined
to %zu and %zx normally, or %Iu and %Ix in old-VS mode. Those are in
defs.h, and they're used everywhere that a %z might otherwise get into
the Windows build.
(cherry picked from commit 82a7e8c4ac)
An assortment of errors: int vs size_t confusion (probably undetected
since the big switchover in commit 0cda34c6f), some outright spurious
parameters after the format string (copy-paste errors), a particularly
silly one in pscp.c (a comma between two halves of what should have
been a single string literal), and a _missing_ format string in ssh.c
(but luckily in a context where the only text that would be wrongly
treated as a format string was error messages generated elsewhere in
PuTTY).
(cherry picked from commit 247866a9d3)
I've added the gcc-style attribute("printf") to a lot of printf-shaped
functions in this code base that didn't have it. To make that easier,
I moved the wrapping macro into defs.h, and also enabled it if we
detect the __clang__ macro as well as __GNU__ (hence, it will be used
when building for Windows using clang-cl).
The result is that a great many format strings in the code are now
checked by the compiler, where they were previously not. This causes
build failures, which I'll fix in the next commit.

A user reports that the ReadFile call in console_get_userpass_input
fails with ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY on Windows 7, and further reports
that this problem only happens if you tell ReadFile to read more than
31366 bytes in a single call.
That seems to be a thing that other people have found as well: I
turned up a similar workaround in Ruby's Win32 support module, except
that there it's for WriteConsole. So I'm reducing my arbitrary read
size of 64K to 16K, which is well under that limit.
This issue became noticeable in PuTTY as of the recent commit
cd6bc14f0, which reworked console_get_userpass_input to use strbufs.
Previously we were trying to read an amount proportional to the
existing size of the buffer, so as to grow the buffer exponentially to
save quadratic-time reallocation. That was OK in practice, since the
initial read size was nice and small. But in principle, the same bug
was present in that version of the code, just latent - if we'd ever
been called on to read a _really large_ amount of data, then
_eventually_ the input size parameter to ReadFile would have grown
beyond that mysterious limit!
(cherry picked from commit 7b79d22021)
Those chomp operations in wincons.c and uxcons.c looked ugly, and I'm
not totally convinced they couldn't underrun the buffer by 1 byte in
weird circumstances. strbuf_chomp is neater.
(cherry picked from commit 7590d0625b)
UBsan pointed out another memcpy from NULL (again with length 0) in
the prompts_t system. When I looked at it, I realised that firstly
prompt_ensure_result_size was an early not-so-good implementation of
sgrowarray_nm that would benefit from being replaced with a call to
the real one, and secondly, the whole system for storing prompt
results should really have been replaced with strbufs with the no-move
option, because that's doing all the same jobs better.
So, now each prompt_t holds a strbuf in place of its previous manually
managed string. prompt_ensure_result_size is gone (the console
prompt-reading functions use strbuf_append, and everything else just
adds to the strbuf in the usual marshal.c way). New functions exist to
retrieve a prompt_t's result, either by reference or copied.
(cherry picked from commit cd6bc14f04)
These are better than my previous approach of just assigning to
sb->len, because firstly they check by assertion that the new length
is within range, and secondly they preserve the invariant that the
byte stored in the buffer just after the length runs out is \0.
Switched to using the new functions everywhere a grep could turn up
opportunities.
(cherry picked from commit 5891142aee)
UBsan points out that if the input pointer is NULL, we'll pass it to
memcpy, which is technically illegal by the C standard _even_ if the
length you pass with it is zero.

In setting up the ECC tests for cmdgen, I noticed that OpenSSH and
PuTTYgen disagree on the bit length to put in a key fingerprint for an
ed25519 key: we think 255, they think 256.
On reflection, I think 255 is more accurate, which is why I bodged
get_fp() in the test suite to ignore that difference when checking our
key fingerprint against OpenSSH's. But having done that, it now seems
silly that if you unnecessarily specify a bit count at ed25519
generation time, cmdgen will insist that it be 256!
255 is now permitted everywhere an ed25519 bit count is input. 256 is
also still allowed for backwards compatibility but 255 is preferred by
the error message if you give any other value.

This doesn't affect what files are _legal_: the spec said we tolerated

If the user is scrolled back in the scrollback when a screen-swap
takes place, and if we're not configured to reset the scrollback
completely on the grounds that the swap is display activity, then we
should do the same thing we do for other kinds of display activity:
strive to keep the scroll position pointing at the same text. In this
case, that means adjusting term->disptop by the number of virtual
lines added to the scrollback to allow the main screen to be viewed
while the alt screen is active.
This improves the quality of behaviour in that corner case, but more
importantly, it should also fix a case of the dreaded line==NULL
assertion failure, which someone just reported against 0.73 when
exiting tmux (hence, switching away from the alt screen) while
scrolled back in a purely virtual scrollback buffer: the virtual
scrollback lines vanished, but disptop was still set to a negative
value, which made it out of range.
(cherry picked from commit 22453b46da)
A long time ago, in commit 09f86ce7e, I introduced a separate copy of
the saved cursor position (used by the ESC 7 / ESC 8 sequences) for
the main and alternate screens. The idea was to fix mishandling of an
input sequence of the form
ESC 7 (save cursor)
ESC [?47h (switch to alternate screen)
...
ESC 7 ESC 8 (save and restore cursor, while in alternate screen)
...
ESC [?47l (switch back from alternate screen)
ESC 8 (restore cursor, expecting it to match the _first_ ESC 7)
in which, before the fix, the second ESC 7 would overwrite the
position saved by the first one. So the final ESC 8 would restore the
cursor position to wherever it happened to have been saved in the
alternate screen, instead of where it was saved before switching _to_
the alternate screen.
I've recently noticed that the same bug still happens if you use the
alternative escape sequences ESC[?1047h and ESC[?1047l to switch to
the alternate screen, instead of ESC[?47h and ESC[?47l. This is
because that version of the escape sequence sets the internal flag
'keep_cur_pos' in the call to swap_screen, whose job is to arrange
that the actual cursor position doesn't change at the instant of the
switch. But the code that swaps the _saved_ cursor position in and out
is also conditioned on keep_cur_pos, so the 1047 variant of the
screen-swap sequence was bypassing that too, and behaving as if there
was just a single saved cursor position inside and outside the
alternate screen.
I don't know why I did it that way in 2006. It could have been
deliberate for some reason, or it could just have been mindless copy
and paste from the existing cursor-related swap code. But checking
with xterm now, it definitely seems to be wrong: the 1047 screen swap
preserves the _actual_ cursor position across the swap, but still has
independent _saved_ cursor positions in the two screens. So now PuTTY
does the same.
