I have to do some testing tomorrow and I'll post my results and a packet capture .. N

Hi Matt,

s3_cbc.c uses the function constant_time_eq_8. I pulled only this function definition from OpenSSL 1.0.1e into OpenSSL 1.0.2d. I renamed this function as constant_time_eq_8_local and used it in s3_cbc.c instead of constant_time_eq_8. This renaming was just to avoid multiple definitions.

OpenSSL 1.0.1e has the function constant_time_eq_8 defined as below:

#define DUPLICATE_MSB_TO_ALL(x) ( (unsigned)( (int)(x) >> (sizeof(int)*8-1) ) )
#define DUPLICATE_MSB_TO_ALL_8(x) ((unsigned char)(DUPLICATE_MSB_TO_ALL(x)))

static unsigned char constant_time_eq_8(unsigned a, unsigned b)
{
unsigned c = a ^ b;
c--;
return DUPLICATE_MSB_TO_ALL_8(c);
}

OpenSSL 1.0.2d has the function constant_time_eq_8 defined as below.

static inline unsigned int constant_time_msb(unsigned int a)
{
    return 0 - (a >> (sizeof(a) * 8 - 1));
}

static inline unsigned int constant_time_is_zero(unsigned int a)
{
    return constant_time_msb(~a & (a - 1));
}

static inline unsigned int constant_time_eq(unsigned int a, unsigned int b)
{
    return constant_time_is_zero(a ^ b);
}

static inline unsigned char constant_time_eq_8(unsigned int a, unsigned int b)
{
    return (unsigned char)(constant_time_eq(a, b));
}


Regards
Jaya

Thanks. Please could you also send the exact patch that you applied that
resolved the issue?
