RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Clemens Lang 2022-11-11 15:18:42 UTC
Description of problem:
FIPS 186-4, section 5 "The RSA Digital Signature Algorithm", subsection 5.5 "PKCS #1" says:

For RSASSA-PSS […] the length (in bytes) of the salt (sLen) shall satisfy 0 ≤ sLen ≤ hLen, where hLen is the length of the hash function output block (in bytes).

Our current copy of OpenSSL does not enforce this.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.0.1-43.el9_0

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. openssl genpkey -algorithm rsa -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048 -out rsa2048.pem
2. should work: openssl dgst -sha256 -sign rsa2048.pem -sigopt rsa_padding_mode:pss -sigopt rsa_pss_saltlen:32 -out rsa2048.pem.sha256sig rsa2048.pem
3. should not work: openssl dgst -sha256 -sign rsa2048.pem -sigopt rsa_padding_mode:pss -sigopt rsa_pss_saltlen:33 -out rsa2048.pem.sha256sig rsa2048.pem, because the output length of SHA256 is 32 bytes.

Actual results:
Both commands succeed

Expected results:
Signature parameter error "rsa_pss_saltlen:33"
80BB4A493E7F0000:error:1C800070:Provider routines:rsa_set_ctx_params:invalid salt length:providers/implementations/signature/rsa_sig.c:1302:
or an indication that this is not a FIPS-approved operation

Additional info:
Older versions of OpenSSL default to using the maximum salt length supported by the RSA key length, so implementing an indicator may be preferable here.
