Rename SSH2_KEX_MAX_HASH_LEN to be more general.
I'm about to want to use it for purposes other than KEX, so it's now just called MAX_HASH_LEN and is supposed to be an upper bound on any hash function we implement at all. Of course this makes no difference to its value, because the largest hash we have is SHA-512 which already fit inside that limit. |

Complete rewrite of PuTTY's bignum library.
The old 'Bignum' data type is gone completely, and so is sshbn.c. In its place is a new thing called 'mp_int', handled by an entirely new library module mpint.c, with API differences both large and small. The main aim of this change is that the new library should be free of timing- and cache-related side channels. I've written the code so that it _should_ - assuming I haven't made any mistakes - do all of its work without either control flow or memory addressing depending on the data words of the input numbers. (Though, being an _arbitrary_ precision library, it does have to at least depend on the sizes of the numbers - but there's a 'formal' size that can vary separately from the actual magnitude of the represented integer, so if you want to keep it secret that your number is actually small, it should work fine to have a very long mp_int and just happen to store 23 in it.) So I've done all my conditionalisation by means of computing both answers and doing bit-masking to swap the right one into place, and all loops over the words of an mp_int go up to the formal size rather than the actual size. I haven't actually tested the constant-time property in any rigorous way yet (I'm still considering the best way to do it). But this code is surely at the very least a big improvement on the old version, even if I later find a few more things to fix. I've also completely rewritten the low-level elliptic curve arithmetic from sshecc.c; the new ecc.c is closer to being an adjunct of mpint.c than it is to the SSH end of the code. The new elliptic curve code keeps all coordinates in Montgomery-multiplication transformed form to speed up all the multiplications mod the same prime, and only converts them back when you ask for the affine coordinates. Also, I adopted extended coordinates for the Edwards curve implementation. sshecc.c has also had a near-total rewrite in the course of switching it over to the new system. While I was there, I've separated ECDSA and EdDSA more completely - they now have separate vtables, instead of a single vtable in which nearly every function had a big if statement in it - and also made the externally exposed types for an ECDSA key and an ECDH context different. A minor new feature: since the new arithmetic code includes a modular square root function, we can now support the compressed point representation for the NIST curves. We seem to have been getting along fine without that so far, but it seemed a shame not to put it in, since it was suddenly easy. In sshrsa.c, one major change is that I've removed the RSA blinding step in rsa_privkey_op, in which we randomise the ciphertext before doing the decryption. The purpose of that was to avoid timing leaks giving away the plaintext - but the new arithmetic code should take that in its stride in the course of also being careful enough to avoid leaking the _private key_, which RSA blinding had no way to do anything about in any case. Apart from those specific points, most of the rest of the changes are more or less mechanical, just changing type names and translating code into the new API. |

Fix crash if key exchange fails.
In the new modular SSH architecture, ssh2transport.c delegates the actual KEX packet exchange to ssh2kex_coroutine, which has different implementations for client and server. The KEX code actually in ssh2transport.c consists of looping on the coroutine until it zeroes out its state field in the ssh2transport state. But if something goes wrong enough during KEX that we call ssh_proto_error or any other fatal connection-terminating function, then when we return to ssh2transport.c, the ssh2transport state won't even exist for it to check that flag. Address Sanitiser pointed that out to me recently, so here's a fix in which we set an 'aborted' flag to tell the caller that its state has already been freed. |

Check by assertion that we cross-certified the right key type.
The flag 'cross_certifying' in the SSH-2 transport layer state is now a pointer to the host key algorithm we expect to be certifying, instead of a plain bool. That lets me check by assertion that it's what we expected it to be after all the complicated key exchange has happened. (I have no reason to think this _will_ go wrong. When we cross- certify, the desired algorithm should be the only one we put into our KEXINIT host key algorithm list, so it should also be the only one we can come out of the far end of KEXINIT having selected. But if anything ever does go wrong with my KEXINIT handling then I'd prefer an assertion failure to silently certifying the wrong key, and also, this makes it clearer to static analysers - and perhaps also humans reading the code - what we expect the situation to be.) |

Convert a lot of 'int' variables to 'bool'.
My normal habit these days, in new code, is to treat int and bool as _almost_ completely separate types. I'm still willing to use C's implicit test for zero on an integer (e.g. 'if (!blob.len)' is fine, no need to spell it out as blob.len != 0), but generally, if a variable is going to be conceptually a boolean, I like to declare it bool and assign to it using 'true' or 'false' rather than 0 or 1. PuTTY is an exception, because it predates the C99 bool, and I've stuck to its existing coding style even when adding new code to it. But it's been annoying me more and more, so now that I've decided C99 bool is an acceptable thing to require from our toolchain in the first place, here's a quite thorough trawl through the source doing 'boolification'. Many variables and function parameters are now typed as bool rather than int; many assignments of 0 or 1 to those variables are now spelled 'true' or 'false'. I managed this thorough conversion with the help of a custom clang plugin that I wrote to trawl the AST and apply heuristics to point out where things might want changing. So I've even managed to do a decent job on parts of the code I haven't looked at in years! To make the plugin's work easier, I pushed platform front ends generally in the direction of using standard 'bool' in preference to platform-specific boolean types like Windows BOOL or GTK's gboolean; I've left the platform booleans in places they _have_ to be for the platform APIs to work right, but variables only used by my own code have been converted wherever I found them. In a few places there are int values that look very like booleans in _most_ of the places they're used, but have a rarely-used third value, or a distinction between different nonzero values that most users don't care about. In these cases, I've _removed_ uses of 'true' and 'false' for the return values, to emphasise that there's something more subtle going on than a simple boolean answer: - the 'multisel' field in dialog.h's list box structure, for which the GTK front end in particular recognises a difference between 1 and 2 but nearly everything else treats as boolean - the 'urgent' parameter to plug_receive, where 1 vs 2 tells you something about the specific location of the urgent pointer, but most clients only care about 0 vs 'something nonzero' - the return value of wc_match, where -1 indicates a syntax error in the wildcard. - the return values from SSH-1 RSA-key loading functions, which use -1 for 'wrong passphrase' and 0 for all other failures (so any caller which already knows it's not loading an _encrypted private_ key can treat them as boolean) - term->esc_query, and the 'query' parameter in toggle_mode in terminal.c, which _usually_ hold 0 for ESC[123h or 1 for ESC[?123h, but can also hold -1 for some other intervening character that we don't support. In a few places there's an integer that I haven't turned into a bool even though it really _can_ only take values 0 or 1 (and, as above, tried to make the call sites consistent in not calling those values true and false), on the grounds that I thought it would make it more confusing to imply that the 0 value was in some sense 'negative' or bad and the 1 positive or good: - the return value of plug_accepting uses the POSIXish convention of 0=success and nonzero=error; I think if I made it bool then I'd also want to reverse its sense, and that's a job for a separate piece of work. - the 'screen' parameter to lineptr() in terminal.c, where 0 and 1 represent the default and alternate screens. There's no obvious reason why one of those should be considered 'true' or 'positive' or 'success' - they're just indices - so I've left it as int. ssh_scp_recv had particularly confusing semantics for its previous int return value: its call sites used '<= 0' to check for error, but it never actually returned a negative number, just 0 or 1. Now the function and its call sites agree that it's a bool. In a couple of places I've renamed variables called 'ret', because I don't like that name any more - it's unclear whether it means the return value (in preparation) for the _containing_ function or the return value received from a subroutine call, and occasionally I've accidentally used the same variable for both and introduced a bug. So where one of those got in my way, I've renamed it to 'toret' or 'retd' (the latter short for 'returned') in line with my usual modern practice, but I haven't done a thorough job of finding all of them. Finally, one amusing side effect of doing this is that I've had to separate quite a few chained assignments. It used to be perfectly fine to write 'a = b = c = TRUE' when a,b,c were int and TRUE was just a the 'true' defined by stdbool.h, that idiom provokes a warning from gcc: 'suggest parentheses around assignment used as truth value'! |

Add an actual SSH server program.
This server is NOT SECURE! If anyone is reading this commit message, DO NOT DEPLOY IT IN A HOSTILE-FACING ENVIRONMENT! Its purpose is to speak the server end of everything PuTTY speaks on the client side, so that I can test that I haven't broken PuTTY when I reorganise its code, even things like RSA key exchange or chained auth methods which it's hard to find a server that speaks at all. (For this reason, it's declared with [UT] in the Recipe file, so that it falls into the same category as programs like testbn, which won't be installed by 'make install'.) Working title is 'Uppity', partly for 'Universal PuTTY Protocol Interaction Test Yoke', but mostly because it looks quite like the word 'PuTTY' with part of it reversed. (Apparently 'test yoke' is a very rarely used term meaning something not altogether unlike 'test harness', which is a bit of a stretch, but it'll do.) It doesn't actually _support_ everything I want yet. At the moment, it's a proof of concept only. But it has most of the machinery present, and the parts it's missing - such as chained auth methods - should be easy enough to add because I've built in the required flexibility, in the form of an AuthPolicy object which can request them if it wants to. However, the current AuthPolicy object is entirely trivial, and will let in any user with the password "weasel". (Another way in which this is not a production-ready server is that it also has no interaction with the OS's authentication system. In particular, it will not only let in any user with the same password, but it won't even change uid - it will open shells and forwardings under whatever user id you started it up as.) Currently, the program can only speak the SSH protocol on its standard I/O channels (using the new FdSocket facility), so if you want it to listen on a network port, you'll have to run it from some kind of separate listening program similar to inetd. For my own tests, I'm not even doing that: I'm just having PuTTY spawn it as a local proxy process, which also conveniently eliminates the risk of anyone hostile connecting to it. The bulk of the actual code reorganisation is already done by previous commits, so this change is _mostly_ just dropping in a new set of server-specific source files alongside the client-specific ones I created recently. The remaining changes in the shared SSH code are numerous, but all minor: - a few extra parameters to BPP and PPL constructors (e.g. 'are you in server mode?'), and pass both sets of SSH-1 protocol flags from the login to the connection layer - in server mode, unconditionally send our version string _before_ waiting for the remote one - a new hook in the SSH-1 BPP to handle enabling compression in server mode, where the message exchange works the other way round - new code in the SSH-2 BPP to do _deferred_ compression the other way round (the non-deferred version is still nicely symmetric) - in the SSH-2 transport layer, some adjustments to do key derivation either way round (swapping round the identifying letters in the various hash preimages, and making sure to list the KEXINITs in the right order) - also in the SSH-2 transport layer, an if statement that controls whether we send SERVICE_REQUEST and wait for SERVICE_ACCEPT, or vice versa - new ConnectionLayer methods for opening outgoing channels for X and agent forwardings - new functions in portfwd.c to establish listening sockets suitable for remote-to-local port forwarding (i.e. not under the direction of a Conf the way it's done on the client side). |

Move client-specific SSH code into new files.
This is a major code reorganisation in preparation for making this code base into one that can build an SSH server as well as a client. (Mostly for purposes of using the server as a regression test suite for the client, though I have some other possible uses in mind too. However, it's currently no part of my plan to harden the server to the point where it can sensibly be deployed in a hostile environment.) In this preparatory commit, I've broken up the SSH-2 transport and connection layers, and the SSH-1 connection layer, into multiple source files, with each layer having its own header file containing the shared type definitions. In each case, the new source file contains code that's specific to the client side of the protocol, so that a new file can be swapped in in its place when building the server. Mostly this is just a straightforward moving of code without changing it very much, but there are a couple of actual changes in the process: The parsing of SSH-2 global-request and channel open-messages is now done by a new pair of functions in the client module. For channel opens, I've invented a new union data type to be the return value from that function, representing either failure (plus error message), success (plus Channel instance to manage the new channel), or an instruction to hand the channel over to a sharing downstream (plus a pointer to the downstream in question). Also, the tree234 of remote port forwardings in ssh2connection is now initialised on first use by the client-specific code, so that's where its compare function lives. The shared ssh2connection_free() still takes responsibility for freeing it, but now has to check if it's non-null first. The outer shell of the ssh2_lportfwd_open method, for making a local-to-remote port forwarding, is still centralised in ssh2connection.c, but the part of it that actually constructs the outgoing channel-open message has moved into the client code, because that will have to change depending on whether the channel-open has to have type direct-tcpip or forwarded-tcpip. In the SSH-1 connection layer, half the filter_queue method has moved out into the new client-specific code, but not all of it - bidirectional channel maintenance messages are still handled centrally. One exception is SSH_MSG_PORT_OPEN, which can be sent in both directions, but with subtly different semantics - from server to client, it's referring to a previously established remote forwarding (and must be rejected if there isn't one that matches it), but from client to server it's just a "direct-tcpip" request with no prior context. So that one is in the client-specific module, and when I add the server code it will have its own different handler. |
