Interesting!



It seems a bug of
org.apache.harmony.security.provider.crypto.SHA1Impl.  As I have no
idea about SHA1. Could any one have a look at this problem?

The following test case passes on RI, but fails on Harmony.

   public void testUpdate() throws NoSuchAlgorithmException {
       byte[] bytes = { 0x6e, 0x61, 0x6d, 0x65};
       MessageDigest sha1 = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA1");
       byte[] digest1 = sha1.digest();
       byte b = 0x04;
       sha1.update(b);

       for (int i = 0; i < bytes.length; i++) {
           sha1.update(bytes[i]);
       }
       byte[] digest2 = sha1.digest();

       sha1.reset();
       byte[] digest3 = sha1.digest();
       assertTrue(MessageDigest.isEqual(digest1, digest3));

       sha1.update(b);
       sha1.update(bytes, 0, bytes.length);
       byte[] digest4 = sha1.digest();

       assertTrue(MessageDigest.isEqual(digest2, digest4));
   }


Interesting bug too!

I'm not clear about sha1 alogrithm, but guess whether following code causes
the bug:

for ( ; ( i <= toByte ) && ( byteIndex < 4 ) ; i++ ) {  // andrew comment :
The break condition is either 1. byteIndex == 4 or 2. i > toByte
               intArray[wordIndex] |= ( byteInput[i] & 0xFF ) << ((3 -
byteIndex)<<3) ;
               byteIndex++;
           }
           if ( byteIndex == 4 ) { // andrew comment: break condition 1
               wordIndex++;
               if ( wordIndex == 16 ) {          // intArray is full,
computing hash

                   computeHash(intArray);
                   wordIndex = 0;
               }
           }
           if ( i >= toByte ) {                 // all input bytes
appended

// andrew comment: is it break condition 2? or it should be (i > toByte) ?
p.s: all tests could pass if using i > toByte.
               return ;
           }
Of course, I could be totally wrong. Let security guys fix the problem. I
don't want to have panda eyes too as Richard. :-)
