Commit Message

Arne Schwabe April 1, 2021, 1:37 a.m. UTC
This option has been deprecated in OpenVPN 2.4 and the ciphers that allow
using this option fall all into the SWEET32 category of ciphers with
64 bit block size.

Patch V2: Remove superflous check in OpenSSL codepath to check keysize

Thanks for removing the extra check.

Compile tested on Linux against:
* OpenSSL 1.1.1
* OpenSSL 1.0.1
* OpenSSL 1.0.2
* mbedTLS 2.26.0
* mbedTLS 2.20.0
* mbedTLS 2.10.0

Windows+OpenSSL-1.1.1 compiled too (mingw).

Basic connection tests (master vs master and master vs 2.5) performed
with OpenSSL 1.1.1 and mbedTLS 2.26.0 on Linux.

this was meant to be 1.1.0

Cheers,

Your patch has been applied to the master branch.

I had conflicts in init.c and options.c due to the previously-merged
"TLS libraries without BF-CBC" patch, but that was trivially resolved
(3 calls to "init_key_type()", remove the keysize option from all of
them).  To be sure I didn't break anything, client-side tested with
mbedtls and OpenSSL.
