This is the kex protocol id "curve25519-sha256@libssh.org", so called
because it's over the prime field of order 2^255 - 19.
Arithmetic in this curve is done using the Montgomery representation,
rather than the Weierstrass representation. So 'struct ec_curve' has
grown a discriminant field and a union of subtypes.
Several of the functions in ssh2_signkey, and one or two SSH-1 key
functions too, were still taking assorted non-const buffer parameters
that had never been properly constified. Sort them all out.
This is better than listing all the algorithm names in yet another
place that will then need updating when a new key format is added.
However, that also means I need to find a new place to put the
'npieces' value I was previously setting up differently per key type;
since that's a fundamental property of the key format, I've moved it
to a constant field in the ssh_signkey structure, and filled that
field in for all the existing key types with the values from the
replaced code in openssh_read_new().
There was an error-handling path testing the wrong variable; an
inappropriate call to ec_point_free in decodepoint() (in fact, that
function always gets passed a pointer to an ec_point structure that's
not a dynamically allocated block at all or not in its own right, so
we should have just cleared its contents without freeing the structure
itself); a missing return on an error path which would have caused the
same structure to be freed a second time; and two missing freebn in
ecdsa_sign.
Patch due to Tim Kosse.
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.
