Matt Caswell 9c1b8f17ce Avoid an infinite loop in BN_GF2m_mod_inv
If p is set to 1 when calling BN_GF2m_mod_inv then an infinite loop will
result. Calling this function set 1 when applications call this directly
is a non-sensical value - so this would be considered a bug in the caller.

It does not seem possible to cause OpenSSL internal callers of
BN_GF2m_mod_inv to call it with a value of 1.

So, for the above reasons, this is not considered a security issue.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This page documents the internal functions used by the OpenSSL
B<BIGNUM> implementation. They are described here to facilitate
debugging and extending the library. They are I<not> to be used by
applications.

=head2 The BIGNUM structure

 typedef struct bignum_st BIGNUM;

 struct bignum_st
        {
        BN_ULONG *d;    /* Pointer to an array of 'BN_BITS2' bit chunks. */
        int top;        /* Index of last used d +1. */
        /* The next are internal book keeping for bn_expand. */
        int dmax;       /* Size of the d array. */
        int neg;        /* one if the number is negative */
        int flags;
        };


The integer value is stored in B<d>, a malloc()ed array of words (B<BN_ULONG>),
least significant word first. A B<BN_ULONG> can be either 16, 32 or 64 bits
in size, depending on the 'number of bits' (B<BITS2>) specified in
C<openssl/bn.h>.

B<dmax> is the size of the B<d> array that has been allocated.  B<top>
is the number of words being used, so for a value of 4, bn.d[0]=4 and
bn.top=1.  B<neg> is 1 if the number is negative.  When a B<BIGNUM> is
B<0>, the B<d> field can be B<NULL> and B<top> == B<0>.

B<flags> is a bit field of flags which are defined in C<openssl/bn.h>. The
flags begin with B<BN_FLG_>. The macros BN_set_flags(b, n) and
BN_get_flags(b, n) exist to enable or fetch flag(s) B<n> from B<BIGNUM>
structure B<b>.

Various routines in this library require the use of temporary
B<BIGNUM> variables during their execution.  Since dynamic memory
allocation to create B<BIGNUM>s is rather expensive when used in
conjunction with repeated subroutine calls, the B<BN_CTX> structure is
used.  This structure contains B<BN_CTX_NUM> B<BIGNUM>s, see
L<BN_CTX_start(3)>.

=head2 Low-level arithmetic operations

These functions are implemented in C and for several platforms in
assembly language:

bn_mul_words(B<rp>, B<ap>, B<num>, B<w>) operates on the B<num> word
arrays B<rp> and B<ap>.  It computes B<ap> * B<w>, places the result
in B<rp>, and returns the high word (carry).

bn_mul_add_words(B<rp>, B<ap>, B<num>, B<w>) operates on the B<num>
word arrays B<rp> and B<ap>.  It computes B<ap> * B<w> + B<rp>, places
the result in B<rp>, and returns the high word (carry).

bn_sqr_words(B<rp>, B<ap>, B<n>) operates on the B<num> word array
B<ap> and the 2*B<num> word array B<ap>.  It computes B<ap> * B<ap>
word-wise, and places the low and high bytes of the result in B<rp>.

bn_div_words(B<h>, B<l>, B<d>) divides the two word number (B<h>, B<l>)
by B<d> and returns the result.

bn_add_words(B<rp>, B<ap>, B<bp>, B<num>) operates on the B<num> word
arrays B<ap>, B<bp> and B<rp>.  It computes B<ap> + B<bp>, places the
result in B<rp>, and returns the high word (carry).

bn_sub_words(B<rp>, B<ap>, B<bp>, B<num>) operates on the B<num> word
arrays B<ap>, B<bp> and B<rp>.  It computes B<ap> - B<bp>, places the
result in B<rp>, and returns the carry (1 if B<bp> E<gt> B<ap>, 0
otherwise).

bn_mul_comba4(B<r>, B<a>, B<b>) operates on the 4 word arrays B<a> and
B<b> and the 8 word array B<r>.  It computes B<a>*B<b> and places the
result in B<r>.

bn_mul_comba8(B<r>, B<a>, B<b>) operates on the 8 word arrays B<a> and
B<b> and the 16 word array B<r>.  It computes B<a>*B<b> and places the
result in B<r>.

bn_sqr_comba4(B<r>, B<a>, B<b>) operates on the 4 word arrays B<a> and
B<b> and the 8 word array B<r>.

bn_sqr_comba8(B<r>, B<a>, B<b>) operates on the 8 word arrays B<a> and
B<b> and the 16 word array B<r>.

The following functions are implemented in C:

bn_cmp_words(B<a>, B<b>, B<n>) operates on the B<n> word arrays B<a>
and B<b>.  It returns 1, 0 and -1 if B<a> is greater than, equal and
less than B<b>.

bn_mul_normal(B<r>, B<a>, B<na>, B<b>, B<nb>) operates on the B<na>
word array B<a>, the B<nb> word array B<b> and the B<na>+B<nb> word
array B<r>.  It computes B<a>*B<b> and places the result in B<r>.

bn_mul_low_normal(B<r>, B<a>, B<b>, B<n>) operates on the B<n> word
arrays B<r>, B<a> and B<b>.  It computes the B<n> low words of
B<a>*B<b> and places the result in B<r>.

bn_mul_recursive(B<r>, B<a>, B<b>, B<n2>, B<dna>, B<dnb>, B<t>) operates
on the word arrays B<a> and B<b> of length B<n2>+B<dna> and B<n2>+B<dnb>
(B<dna> and B<dnb> are currently allowed to be 0 or negative) and the 2*B<n2>
word arrays B<r> and B<t>.  B<n2> must be a power of 2.  It computes
B<a>*B<b> and places the result in B<r>.

bn_mul_part_recursive(B<r>, B<a>, B<b>, B<n>, B<tna>, B<tnb>, B<tmp>)
operates on the word arrays B<a> and B<b> of length B<n>+B<tna> and
B<n>+B<tnb> and the 4*B<n> word arrays B<r> and B<tmp>.

bn_mul_low_recursive(B<r>, B<a>, B<b>, B<n2>, B<tmp>) operates on the
B<n2> word arrays B<r> and B<tmp> and the B<n2>/2 word arrays B<a>
and B<b>.

BN_mul() calls bn_mul_normal(), or an optimized implementation if the
factors have the same size: bn_mul_comba8() is used if they are 8
words long, bn_mul_recursive() if they are larger than
B<BN_MULL_SIZE_NORMAL> and the size is an exact multiple of the word
size, and bn_mul_part_recursive() for others that are larger than
B<BN_MULL_SIZE_NORMAL>.

bn_sqr_normal(B<r>, B<a>, B<n>, B<tmp>) operates on the B<n> word array
B<a> and the 2*B<n> word arrays B<tmp> and B<r>.

The implementations use the following macros which, depending on the
architecture, may use "long long" C operations or inline assembler.
They are defined in C<bn_local.h>.

mul(B<r>, B<a>, B<w>, B<c>) computes B<w>*B<a>+B<c> and places the
low word of the result in B<r> and the high word in B<c>.

mul_add(B<r>, B<a>, B<w>, B<c>) computes B<w>*B<a>+B<r>+B<c> and
places the low word of the result in B<r> and the high word in B<c>.

sqr(B<r0>, B<r1>, B<a>) computes B<a>*B<a> and places the low word
of the result in B<r0> and the high word in B<r1>.

=head2 Size changes

bn_expand() ensures that B<b> has enough space for a B<bits> bit
number.  bn_wexpand() ensures that B<b> has enough space for an
B<n> word number.  If the number has to be expanded, both macros
call bn_expand2(), which allocates a new B<d> array and copies the
data.  They return B<NULL> on error, B<b> otherwise.

The bn_fix_top() macro reduces B<a-E<gt>top> to point to the most
significant non-zero word plus one when B<a> has shrunk.

=head2 Debugging

bn_check_top() verifies that C<((a)-E<gt>top E<gt>= 0 && (a)-E<gt>top
E<lt>= (a)-E<gt>dmax)>.  A violation will cause the program to abort.

bn_print() prints B<a> to stderr. bn_dump() prints B<n> words at B<d>
(in reverse order, i.e. most significant word first) to stderr.

bn_set_max() makes B<a> a static number with a B<dmax> of its current size.
This is used by bn_set_low() and bn_set_high() to make B<r> a read-only
B<BIGNUM> that contains the B<n> low or high words of B<a>.

If B<BN_DEBUG> is not defined, bn_check_top(), bn_print(), bn_dump()
and bn_set_max() are defined as empty macros.
