Hi Moritz, hi security team,

Yay. And 3.5.0 isn't even in source form anymore; I'm not even sure
whether they actually are going to publish source for that. *sigh*.

Since there appears to be no patch, AFAICS:

wou...@country:~/debian/eID/belpic-2.6.0$ grep -r 'EVP_VerifyFinal' *
src/newpkcs11/src/pkcs11/openssl.c: *   finishing with EVP_VerifyFinal().
src/newpkcs11/src/pkcs11/openssl.c:             res = EVP_VerifyFinal(md_ctx, 
signat, signat_len, pkey);
src/newpkcs11/src/pkcs11/openssl.c:                     sc_debug(context, 
"EVP_VerifyFinal() returned %d\n", res);
src/newpkcs11/src/tools/pkcs11-tool.c:  err = EVP_VerifyFinal(&md_ctx, sig1, 
sigLen1, pkey);
src/eidlib/Verify.cpp:    iRet = 2*iDiffRNCert + !EVP_VerifyFinal(&cmd_ctx, 
(unsigned char *)pucSig, ulSigLen, pKey);

The first two files are okay. In both cases, the return value is sent to
a variable that is then properly checked using an if() {} else if() {} elseĀ {}
block for the three possible return values of EVP_VerifyFinal().

The third appears to be somewhat more conspicious. Looking around in the
code a bit, this is what it's *supposed* to return:

/* Signature validation return codes */
#define BEID_SIGNATURE_NOT_VALIDATED            -2 /* The signature is not valid
ated */
#define BEID_SIGNATURE_PROCESSING_ERROR            -1 /* Error verifying the 
signature. */
#define BEID_SIGNATURE_VALID                                0 /* The signature 
is valid. */
#define BEID_SIGNATURE_INVALID                                      1 /* The 
signature is not valid. */
#define BEID_SIGNATURE_VALID_WRONG_RRNCERT           2 /* The signature is 
valid and wrong RRN certificate. */
#define BEID_SIGNATURE_INVALID_WRONG_RRNCERT        3 /* The signature is not 
valid and wrong RRN certificate. */

(that's from eiddefines.h)

So the patch should be something like:

Given that this is me guessing what the issue really is based on a
description and some documentation that I'm not 100% sure I correctly
parsed, I'd appreciate it if someone could verify and peer-review this
before I upload it to unstable.

Thanks,
