Hello libiberty experts,

I don't see anything saying that sha1_process_block() has a size limit
on its input buffer, and if the length of the buffer is big (e.g.,
2^32 on a 64-bit machine) then this code won't correctly add a 64-bit
number to 64-bit number:

   /* First increment the byte count.  RFC 1321 specifies the possible
      length of the file up to 2^64 bits.  Here we only compute the
      number of bytes.  Do a double word increment.  */
   ctx->total[0] += len;
   if (ctx->total[0] < len)
     ++ctx->total[1];

The above is at sha1.c around line 302.

I'm not sure if many people read the gcc-bugs list, it's mainly fed from Bugzilla. Better file a bug.

After a quick look at the code, I'm wondering if the ~63 is properly sign-extended and then converted to size_t:

          sha1_process_block (buffer, len & ~63, ctx);

This should work, but it looks a bit fishy.
