BIO_read fails when performing DTLS handshake

[Matthew]

Hello everyone!

This is my first "post" to the mailing list.

I have been working on an OSSL wrapper for C# for several months, and am 
currently implementing the DTLS portion. I've succeeded in establishing 
a DTLS session with cookie exchange, sending and receiving data, and 
gracefully closing the connection.

I've appended a snippet of the C# for those who may be curious.

Once I got the ugly bits working, I started chipping away at building a 
nice API. This is where my problem started.

I've spend hours debugging and I think I've hit the limit of my 
abilities. I have 2 unit tests in C# (at the end of this mail). The 
first one (BasicDtlsTest) is a strightforward echo of one client's data. 
The second (BasicListenerTest) is essentially the same, only wrapped in 
a friendlier API.

Specifically, my problem is that the second unit test fails to reply to 
a ClientHello /with/ a cookie (it successfully send the 
HelloVerifyRequest with the cookie). I have traced the problem to where 
I /think/ things go wrong. I followed the call stack starting from 
SSL_do_handshake.

SSL_do_handshake -> ossl_statem_accept -> state_machine -> 
read_state_machine -> dtls_get_message -> dtls_get_reassembled_message 
-> dtls1_read_bytes -> dtls1_get_record -> ssl3_read_n.

I stepped through both the /working/ unit test and the /non-working/ one 
in order to find differences in the result. What I have found is that, 
in ssl3_read_n, the call to BIO_read (line 300 in rec_layer_s3.c) 
returns -1.

ret = BIO_read(s->rbio, pkt + len + left, max - left);

At this line, pkt is a char[8], len and left = 0 and max = 16717

I'm curious as to why the "data" argument is not a pointer to a buffer, 
but rather the result of an addition. Maybe my C isnt strong enough...

Going even further down the stack, I finally end up at the bottom:

static int mem_read(BIO *b, char *out, int outl)

And this is where the -1 that is a thorn in my side originates:

ret = (outl >= 0 && (size_t)outl > bm->length) ? (int)bm->length : outl;

At this line, (size_t)outl is 16717 and bm->length is 0, so ret = 
(int)bm->length. Then, a little further:

if ((out != NULL) && (ret > 0)) { memcpy(out, bm->data, ret); bm->length 
-= ret; bm->max -= ret; bm->data += ret; } else if (bm->length == 0) { 
ret = b->num; if (ret != 0) BIO_set_retry_read(b); } return ret;

At this point, ret = -1 and that just gets propagated all the way back 
up, causing the entire record to be thrown out and ignored. The client 
keeps sending ClientHellos with the cookie and the server keeps ignoring 
them.

I really have no idea what is happening.

I realize it's a lot to ask you to read all of my code, so if anyone has 
suggestions as to what I might try next, I'm open!


Thanks!
