Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-11343:
---------------------------------------------
If I recall correctly, if we want to change how the IV is calculated, it can be
done in a backwards compatible way by introducing a new crypto SUITE. We store
enough info in the file INODE to determine the SUITE used to encrypt a file.
New files would be encrypted with the new SUITE, existing ones would continue
using the original SUITE.
We would just have to document that for versions of HDFS prior to ### (the one
having this fix) it is strongly recommended not to swap the JCE implementation
for the OpenSSL or viceversa as things could break.
> Overflow is not properly handled in caclulating final iv for AES CTR

> Key: HADOOP-11343
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11343
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: security
> Affects Versions: trunk-win, 2.7.0
> Reporter: Jerry Chen
> Priority: Blocker
>
> In the AesCtrCryptoCodec calculateIV, as the init IV is a random generated 16
> bytes,
> final byte[] iv = new byte[cc.getCipherSuite().getAlgorithmBlockSize()];
> cc.generateSecureRandom(iv);
> Then the following calculation of iv and counter on 8 bytes (64bit) space
> would easily cause overflow and this overflow gets lost. The result would be
> the 128 bit data block was encrypted with a wrong counter and cannot be
> decrypted by standard aes-ctr.
> /**
> * The IV is produced by adding the initial IV to the counter. IV length
> * should be the same as {@link #AES_BLOCK_SIZE}
> */
> @Override
> public void calculateIV(byte[] initIV, long counter, byte[] IV) {
> Preconditions.checkArgument(initIV.length == AES_BLOCK_SIZE);
> Preconditions.checkArgument(IV.length == AES_BLOCK_SIZE);
>
> System.arraycopy(initIV, 0, IV, 0, CTR_OFFSET);
> long l = 0;
> for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
> l = ((l << 8) | (initIV[CTR_OFFSET + i] & 0xff));
> }
> l += counter;
> IV[CTR_OFFSET + 0] = (byte) (l >>> 56);
> IV[CTR_OFFSET + 1] = (byte) (l >>> 48);
> IV[CTR_OFFSET + 2] = (byte) (l >>> 40);
> IV[CTR_OFFSET + 3] = (byte) (l >>> 32);
> IV[CTR_OFFSET + 4] = (byte) (l >>> 24);
> IV[CTR_OFFSET + 5] = (byte) (l >>> 16);
> IV[CTR_OFFSET + 6] = (byte) (l >>> 8);
> IV[CTR_OFFSET + 7] = (byte) (l);
