It's all very well for these two different formats to share a type
code as long as we're only loading them and not saving, but as soon as
we need to save one or the other, we'll need different type codes
after all.
This commit introduces the openssh_new_write() function, but for the
moment, it always returns failure.
The absence of these could have prevented sensitive private key
information from being properly cleared out of memory that PuTTY tools
had finished with.
Thanks to Patrick Coleman for spotting this and sending a patch.
We incremented buf by a few bytes, so we must decrement the
corresponding length by the same amount, or else makekey() could
overrun.
Thanks to Patrick Coleman for the patch.
This provides support for ECDSA public keys, for both hosts and users,
and also ECDH key exchange. Supported curves are currently just the
three NIST curves required by RFC 5656.
We should NULL out mac after freeing it, so that the cleanup code
doesn't try to free it again; also if the final key creation fails, we
should avoid freeing ret->comment when we're going to go to that same
cleanup code which will free 'comment' which contains the same pointer.
Thanks to Christopher Staite for pointing these out.
I'm about to need to refer to it from a source file that won't
necessarily always be linked against sshpubk.c, so it needs to live
somewhere less specialist. Now it sits alongside base64_encode_atom
(already in misc.c for another reason), which is neater anyway.

header text from a PuTTY key file.
(It's silly to have both while (len > 0) at the top of the loop _and_
an if (len == 0) return in the middle, and in fact the former was the
erroneous one since it would have prohibited a 39-character header,
which I intended to be permitted.)

of the GET_32BIT macros and then used as length fields. Missing bounds
checks against zero have been added, and also I've introduced a helper
function toint() which casts from unsigned to int in such a way as to
avoid C undefined behaviour, since I'm not sure I trust compilers any
more to do the obviously sensible thing.

zero but does it in such a way that over-clever compilers hopefully
won't helpfully optimise the call away if you do it just before
freeing something or letting it go out of scope. Use this for
(hopefully) every memset whose job is to destroy sensitive data that
might otherwise be left lying around in the process's memory.

takes a third argument which is TRUE if the file is being opened for
writing and wants to be created in such a way that it's readable
only to the owner. This is used when saving private keys.
While I'm here, I also use this option when writing session logs, on
the general principle that they probably contain _something_
sensitive.
The new argument is only supported on Unix, for the moment. (I think
writing owner-accessible-only files is the default on Windows.)

(Since we choose to compile with -Werror, this is particularly important.)
I haven't yet checked that the resulting source actually compiles cleanly with
GCC 4, hence not marking `gcc4-warnings' as fixed just yet.

discussed. Use Barrett and Silverman's convention of "SSH-1" for SSH protocol
version 1 and "SSH-2" for protocol 2 ("SSH1"/"SSH2" refer to ssh.com
implementations in this scheme). <http://www.snailbook.com/terms.html>

1-byte buffer overflow when reading .PPK files with long lines (>=128 bytes
in header value -- probably only happened in practice in the comment field).

keys was apparently incorrect; prior to r1413, it was both allowed, and
generated for passphraseless keys. Remove it and associated validation so that
people are able to load such keys into PuTTYgen to upgrade them, as suggested.

on Linux, but the (very few) platform-specific bits are already
abstracted out of the main code, so it should port to other
platforms with a minimum of fuss.

This should get rid of a problem that three or four people reported where
PuTTY intermittently reports "Unable to load private key" (MAC failed).
(ssh.c:do_ssh2_authconn() should also initialise its passphrase so it's not
passing garbage passphrases around, of course, but I haven't yet worked out
where the best place in the auth loop to do that would be.)

functions have sprouted `**errorstr' arguments, which if non-NULL can
return a textual error message. The interface additions are patchy and
ad-hoc since this seemed to suit the style of the existing interfaces.
I've since realised that most of this is masked by sanity-checking that
gets done before these functions are called, but it will at least report
MAC failures and the like (tested on Unix), which was the original point
of the exercise.
Note that not everyone who could be using this information is at the
moment.

malloc functions, which automatically cast to the same type they're
allocating the size of. Should prevent any future errors involving
mallocing the size of the wrong structure type, and will also make
life easier if we ever need to turn the PuTTY core code from real C
into C++-friendly C. I haven't touched the Mac frontend in this
checkin because I couldn't compile or test it.
[originally from svn r3014]
opaque to all platform-independent modules and only handled within
per-platform code. `Filename' is there because the Mac has a magic
way to store filenames (though currently this checkin doesn't
support it!); `FontSpec' is there so that all the auxiliary stuff
such as font height and charset and so on which is needed under
Windows but not Unix can be kept where it belongs, and so that I can
have a hope in hell of dealing with a font chooser in the forthcoming
cross-platform config box code, and best of all it gets the horrid
font height wart out of settings.c and into the Windows code where
it should be.
The Mac part of this checkin is a bunch of random guesses which will
probably not quite compile, but which look roughly right to me.
Sorry if I screwed it up, Ben :-)

now be told that the key is the wrong type, _and_ what type it is,
rather than being given a blanket `unable to read key file' message.

load a key that is already loaded. This makes command lines such as
`pageant mykey -c mycommand' almost infinitely more useful.
[originally from svn r1522]
now a passphrase-keyed MAC covering _all_ important data in the
file, including the public blob and the key comment. Should
conclusively scupper any attacks based on nobbling the key file in
an attempt to sucker the machine that decrypts it. MACing the
comment field also protects against a key-substitution attack (if
someone's worked out a way past our DSA protections and can extract
the private key from a signature, swapping key files and
substituting comments might just enable them to get the signature
they need to do this. Paranoid, but might as well).
[originally from svn r1413]
spawn another command after starting Pageant. Also, if Pageant is
already running, `pageant keyfile' and `pageant -c command' will do
the Right Thing, that is, add the key to the _first_ Pageant and/or
run a command and then exit. The only time you now get the `Pageant
is already running' error is if you try to start the second copy
with no arguments.
NB the affected files in this checkin are rather wide-ranging
because I renamed the not really SSH1-specific
`ssh1_bignum_bitcount' function to just `bignum_bitcount'.

tampering with the unencrypted public part of the key but leaving
the private part intact ... we are now ultra-paranoid about RSA key
files, and we check that the public part matches the private part
_before_ we generate any signatures with them.
