• Yu Bao <[email protected]> - reporting an API gap, on behalf of the PayPal Cyber Security Team, that the high-level OpenPGP message API (OpenPGPMessageProcessor / OpenPGPMessageInputStream) gave a caller no way to bound how far a compressed data packet expands, where the low-level PGPCompressedData it wraps has carried a bounded getDataStream(long) overload all along, and that OpenPGPPolicy exposed no equivalent property to set. Suggesting a protocol whitelist for CRL Distribution Point fetching, which is now the org.bouncycastle.x509.CRLDP_protocols property, and suggesting that an OCSP response was read up to the length the responder declared for itself, now capped by org.bouncycastle.ocsp.max_response_size, and suggesting bounds on the OpenPGP ASCII armor headers, now capped by org.bouncycastle.openpgp.max_armor_header_length and org.bouncycastle.openpgp.max_armor_headers.
• Arpan Sharma <https://github.com/Arpan0995\> - initial audit of BCPQC provider consistency starting with HQC, which led to the exposure of a number of issues in the JCA provider service interfaces for other BCPQC algorithms. In-depth auditing of PQC signature algorithms in the provider leading to the correction of a number of JCA API compliance issues. Initial implementation of the guard that lets a signature context be set on the composite ML-DSA services before initSign / initVerify, the composite counterpart of the base-engine fix for issue #2396 (issue #2412). Audit of the LMS / HSS stateful private key decoder, establishing that the level count, the one-time index and the persisted tree cache were all accepted without validation (issue #2414); that issue was also the inspiration for the further investigation which found the HSS and XMSS^MT decoders accepting a private key whose declared index disagreed with the traversal state stored beside it, allowing a one-time key to be used twice. Audit of the high-level OpenPGP API (org.bouncycastle.openpgp, org.bouncycastle.openpgp.api) and the bcpg packet layer beneath it, spanning certificate evaluation, message verification, decryption and signature subpacket parsing, which found certificates being used without the certifications RFC 9580 requires of them, malformed but signed content reaching ordinary reader code as unchecked exceptions, a truncated message being read as a clean end of message, and unverified plaintext being released ahead of the integrity check (issues #2417, #2424, #2426). Audit of the recipient side of the CMS RFC 9629 KEMRecipientInfo path, which found three sender-controlled fields leaving methods declared to throw CMSException as unchecked exceptions and the kekLength never being confirmed against the wrap algorithm, and which led to the same translation being added to the neighbouring AuthEnvelopedData constructor and the two streaming parsers (issue #2422). Audit of RSA-PSS parameter handling in the provider, which found Signature.setParameter reporting a rejected trailer field as an unchecked exception and leaving the rejected spec half-applied, so that the parameters reported for a signature were not the ones it had been made with (issue #2421). Audit of the PKCS#12 key store entry-setting boundary, which found setKeyEntry reporting a certificate whose public key the provider cannot resolve as an unchecked exception rather than the KeyStoreException it declares, and which led to the same guard being applied to setCertificateEntry and to the RFC 9579 PBMAC1 store, and to the rejected entry no longer being left behind in the store (issue #2419). Further auditing of the verification and expiration paths of the high-level OpenPGP API, which found a configured algorithm policy not being applied to inline message verification, an expired primary key still offering its subkeys, and a data signature being reported valid past its own expiration time. CMS SignedData and PKIX certification path test coverage for the eighteen Composite ML-DSA parameter sets, which had been reachable through the CMS and cert-path signature algorithm finders with no test exercising either (PR #2437). Identification and fix of the output offset in the AEAD stream cipher data operator that made Grain-128AEAD return corrupted plaintext from a decryption driven in chunks, with the streamed decryption coverage that had been missing (PR #2447). Identification and fix of the RFC 9709 content-encryption algorithm being left wrapped at the CMS recipient key-size, allowed-algorithm and tag-size checks, so that none of them applied to the algorithm the content was encrypted under (PR #2446). Identification and fix of the YubiKey OpenPGP smart-card decryptor factories zeroizing the user PIN array belonging to the KeyPassphraseProvider that supplied it, which left the next private-key operation presenting an all-zero PIN to the card (PR #2444). Identification and fix of the TupleHash element length prefix being computed in int arithmetic, which left an element of 2^28 bytes or more either not returning from the length encoding loop or carrying the prefix of an empty element, and of the same loop not returning on a negative output length (PR #2462). Identification and fix of the ITS explicit certificate builder choosing the certificate's signature type from the verification key indicator rather than the signing key's curve, which mislabelled brainpoolP256r1 signatures and implicit-issuer P-256 signatures and left brainpoolP384r1 keys unable to sign a certificate (PR #2463). Making CipherOutputStream.close() idempotent in the light-weight and JCA stream classes (PR #2486). Identification and fix of PGPSignatureSubpacketVector.getPreferredLibrePgpEncryptionModes() reading the RFC 9580 Preferred AEAD Ciphersuites subpacket rather than the LibrePGP Preferred Encryption Modes subpacket, which left it throwing a ClassCastException for the direct-key signature of every key generated by the high-level OpenPGP API (PR #2489). Identification and fix of the BLAKE2bp digest measuring the room left in its 512 byte buffer against eight 128 byte blocks rather than four, which made a message passed in more than one call either fail with an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException or hash part of its input out of order, and of the BLAKE2bp test class never being run by the Gradle build (PR #2488). Identification and fix of the in-place overlap check in the light-weight AEAD base engine leaving out the bytes buffered by an earlier call, which let most of the engines built on it write output over input they had not yet read when data was encrypted or decrypted in place over more than one call (PR #2487). Identification of the PKIX CertPathValidator accepting an OCSP response that states no nextUpdate however old its thisUpdate, which led to the configurable freshness bound now applied to such responses. Further auditing of certificate evaluation in the high-level OpenPGP API, which found self-signatures being selected before they had been verified, so that an appended signature which does not verify could revive an expired certificate, unbind a key, subkey or user ID, or supply the preferences a sender negotiates with, and which led to the most recent self-signature that verifies now being the one applied. Fix for the CCMBlockCipher decryption payload length limit (PR #2499). Identification and fix of the Ascon-80pq variant of AsconEngine sign-extending the first 32 bits of its key and repacking the key words with arithmetic shifts, which made the tag, and for some keys the ciphertext, differ from the specification for seven keys in eight (PR #2500). Identification and fix of the deprecated XMSS, XMSS^MT and LMS private key interfaces in org.bouncycastle.pqc.jcajce.interfaces losing the extractKeyShard() declarations and LMSKey supertype they carried in 1.86, which left code compiled against 1.86 failing with NoSuchMethodError and ClassCastException, and of the PQC CMS SignedData tests never being run (PR #2501). Identification and fix of the ML-DSA private key constructor comparing only t1 with the public key it is given, so that a PKCS#8 key whose embedded public key carried a different rho was accepted (PR #2502). Identification and fix of CipherInputStream.reset() in the light-weight API not restoring all of the state saved by mark(), which let a rewound stream return the wrong plaintext or an early end of stream (PR #2503). Identification of the PKIX CertPathValidator, CertPathBuilder and PKIXCertPathReviewer accepting the name constraints carried by a TrustAnchor without applying them, which led to the initial permitted and excluded subtrees of RFC 5280 sec. 6.1.2 now being taken from the trust anchor. Identification of the high-level OpenPGP API reporting certification, binding and revocation signatures presented over the data they cover as valid document signatures, and of the one-pass path not comparing the signature type announced in a One-Pass Signature packet with that of its Signature packet.

Analysis of the CRL distribution point fetch in PKIXCertPathReviewer, which led to the reviewers honouring org.bouncycastle.x509.enableCRLDP, fetching only for certificates that chain to a trust anchor, and applying connect and read timeouts. Analysis of the quadratic cost of merging a certificate flooded with certifications through PGPPublicKeyRing.join, PGPPublicKey.join and PGPSignature.join, with the regression tests behind the fix, and the follow-up showing the hash-table indexes the fix introduced could be driven back to quadratic by colliding keys, with the probes behind the ordered indexes that replaced them.
