An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate function. If an attacker is
able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
EVP_EncryptUpdate with a partial block then a length check can overflow
resulting in a heap corruption.
Following an analysis of all OpenSSL internal usage of the
EVP_EncryptUpdate function all usage is one of two forms.
The first form is like this:
EVP_EncryptInit()
EVP_EncryptUpdate()
i.e. where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be the first called
function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that specific call
must be safe.
The second form is where the length passed to EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be
seen from the code to be some small value and therefore there is no
possibility of an overflow.
Since all instances are one of these two forms, I believe that there can
be no overflows in internal code due to this problem.
It should be noted that EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate()
in certain code paths. Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for
EVP_EncryptUpdate(). Therefore I have checked all instances of these
calls too, and came to the same conclusion, i.e. there are no instances
in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
This could still represent a security issue for end user code that calls
this function directly.

Don't have #error statements in header files, but instead wrap
the contents of that file in #ifndef OPENSSL_NO_xxx
This means it is now always safe to include the header file.

EVP_CIPHER_CTX_flags was returning the flags of its associated
EVP_CIPHER. However, EVP_CIPHER_CTX has flags of its own, so this
function is quite confusing and therefore error prone.

Following the method used for EVP_MD_CTX and HMAC_CTX,
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_init and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup are joined together
into one function, EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset, with EVP_CIPHER_CTX_init kept
as an alias.
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup fills no purpose of its own any more and is
therefore removed.

If an EVP implementation (such as an engine) fails out early, it's
possible to call EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() which will call
ctx->cipher->cleanup() before the cipher_data has been initialized
via ctx->cipher->init(). Guarantee it's all-bytes-zero as soon as
it is allocated.

Just as with the OPENSSL_malloc calls, consistently use sizeof(*ptr)
for memset and memcpy. Remove needless casts for those functions.
For memset, replace alternative forms of zero with 0.

For a local variable:
TYPE *p;
Allocations like this are "risky":
p = OPENSSL_malloc(sizeof(TYPE));
if the type of p changes, and the malloc call isn't updated, you
could get memory corruption. Instead do this:
p = OPENSSL_malloc(sizeof(*p));
Also fixed a few memset() calls that I noticed while doing this.

changes are the fallout). As this could break source code that doesn't
directly include headers for interfaces it uses, changes to recursive
includes are covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. It's better to
define this when building and using openssl, and then adapt code where
necessary - this is how to stay current. However the mechanism exists for
the lethargic.
I have tried to convert 'len' type variable declarations to unsigned as a
means to address these warnings when appropriate, but when in doubt I have
used casts in the comparisons instead. The better solution (that would get
us all lynched by API users) would be to go through and convert all the
function prototypes and structure definitions to use unsigned variables
except when signed is necessary. The proliferation of (signed) "int" for
strictly non-negative uses is unfortunate.

2. The next release should be 0.9.2 and not 0.9.1d, because
first the changes are already too large, second we should avoid any more
0.9.1x confusions and third, the Apache version semantics of
VERSION.REVISION.PATCHLEVEL for the version string is reasonable (and here
.2 is already just a patchlevel and not major change).
