Subject: [PATCH v2] DRBG: fix maximum value checks on 32 bit systems
Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2014 10:29:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2984929.nIbTCa5fhe@myon.chronox.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140826080858.GA4161@gondor.apana.org.au>

The maximum values for additional input string or generated blocks is
larger than 1<<32. To ensure a sensible value on 32 bit systems, return
SIZE_MAX on 32 bit systems. This value is lower than the maximum
allowed values defined in SP800-90A. The standard allow lower maximum
values, but not larger values.

SIZE_MAX - 1 is used for drbg_max_addtl to allow
drbg_healthcheck_sanity to check the enforcement of the variable
without wrapping.
