* ASN.1: Fix an indefinite length skip errorDavid Howells2012-12-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Fix an error in asn1_find_indefinite_length() whereby small definite length elements of size 0x7f are incorrecly classified as non-small. Without this fix, an error will be given as the length of the length will be perceived as being very much greater than the maximum supported size.

* X.509: Fix indefinite length element skip error handlingDavid Howells2012-10-101-9/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | asn1_find_indefinite_length() returns an error indicator of -1, which the caller asn1_ber_decoder() places in a size_t (which is usually unsigned) and then checks to see whether it is less than 0 (which it can't be). This can lead to the following warning: lib/asn1_decoder.c:320 asn1_ber_decoder() warn: unsigned 'len' is never less than zero. Instead, asn1_find_indefinite_length() update the caller's idea of the data cursor and length separately from returning the error code.

* X.509: Add an ASN.1 decoderDavid Howells2012-10-081-0/+477
Add an ASN.1 BER/DER/CER decoder. This uses the bytecode from the ASN.1 compiler in the previous patch to inform it as to what to expect to find in the encoded byte stream. The output from the compiler also tells it what functions to call on what tags, thus allowing the caller to retrieve information. The decoder is called as follows: int asn1_decoder(const struct asn1_decoder *decoder, void *context, const unsigned char *data, size_t datalen); The decoder argument points to the bytecode from the ASN.1 compiler. context is the caller's context and is passed to the action functions. data and datalen define the byte stream to be decoded. Note that the decoder is currently limited to datalen being less than 64K. This reduces the amount of stack space used by the decoder because ASN.1 is a nested construct. Similarly, the decoder is limited to a maximum of 10 levels of constructed data outside of a leaf node also in an effort to keep stack usage down. These restrictions can be raised if necessary.
