=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
OpenSSL memory allocation is handled by the B<OPENSSL_xxx> API. These are
|
|
generally macro's that add the standard C B<__FILE__> and B<__LINE__>
|
|
parameters and call a lower-level B<CRYPTO_xxx> API.
|
|
Some functions do not add those parameters, but exist for consistency.
|
|
|
|
OPENSSL_malloc_init() sets the lower-level memory allocation functions
|
|
to their default implementation.
|
|
It is generally not necessary to call this, except perhaps in certain
|
|
shared-library situations.
|
|
|
|
OPENSSL_malloc(), OPENSSL_realloc(), and OPENSSL_free() are like the
|
|
C malloc(), realloc(), and free() functions.
|
|
OPENSSL_zalloc() calls memset() to zero the memory before returning.
|
|
|
|
OPENSSL_clear_realloc() and OPENSSL_clear_free() should be used
|
|
when the buffer at B<addr> holds sensitive information.
|
|
The old buffer is filled with zero's by calling OPENSSL_cleanse()
|
|
before ultimately calling OPENSSL_free().
|
|
|
|
OPENSSL_cleanse() fills B<ptr> of size B<len> with a string of 0's.
|
|
Use OPENSSL_cleanse() with care if the memory is a mapping of a file.
|
|
If the storage controller uses write compression, then its possible
|
|
that sensitive tail bytes will survive zeroization because the block of
|
|
zeros will be compressed. If the storage controller uses wear leveling,
|
|
then the old sensitive data will not be overwritten; rather, a block of
|
|
0's will be written at a new physical location.
|
|
|
|
OPENSSL_strdup(), OPENSSL_strndup() and OPENSSL_memdup() are like the
|
|
equivalent C functions, except that memory is allocated by calling the
|
|
OPENSSL_malloc() and should be released by calling OPENSSL_free().
|
|
|
|
OPENSSL_strlcpy(),
|
|
OPENSSL_strlcat() and OPENSSL_strnlen() are equivalents of the common C
|
|
library functions and are provided for portability.
|
|
|
|
OPENSSL_hexstr2buf() parses B<str> as a hex string and returns a
|
|
pointer to the parsed value. The memory is allocated by calling
|
|
OPENSSL_malloc() and should be released by calling OPENSSL_free().
|
|
If B<len> is not NULL, it is filled in with the output length.
|
|
Colons between two-character hex "bytes" are ignored.
|
|
An odd number of hex digits is an error.
|
|
|
|
OPENSSL_buf2hexstr() takes the specified buffer and length, and returns
|
|
a hex string for value, or NULL on error.
|
|
B<Buffer> cannot be NULL; if B<len> is 0 an empty string is returned.
|
|
|
|
OPENSSL_hexchar2int() converts a character to the hexadecimal equivalent,
|
|
or returns -1 on error.
|
|
|
|
If no allocations have been done, it is possible to "swap out" the default
|
|
implementations for OPENSSL_malloc(), OPENSSL_realloc and OPENSSL_free()
|
|
and replace them with alternate versions (hooks).
|
|
CRYPTO_get_mem_functions() function fills in the given arguments with the
|
|
function pointers for the current implementations.
|
|
With CRYPTO_set_mem_functions(), you can specify a different set of functions.
|
|
If any of B<m>, B<r>, or B<f> are NULL, then the function is not changed.
|
|
|
|
The default implementation can include some debugging capability (if enabled
|
|
at build-time).
|
|
This adds some overhead by keeping a list of all memory allocations, and
|
|
removes items from the list when they are free'd.
|
|
This is most useful for identifying memory leaks.
|
|
CRYPTO_set_mem_debug() turns this tracking on and off. It is normally
|
|
called at startup, but can be called at any time.
|
|
|
|
CRYPTO_mem_ctrl() provides fine-grained control of memory leak tracking.
|
|
To enable tracking call CRYPTO_mem_ctrl() with a B<mode> argument of
|
|
the B<CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON>.
|
|
To disable tracking call CRYPTO_mem_ctrl() with a B<mode> argument of
|
|
the B<CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF>.
|
|
|
|
While checking memory, it can be useful to store additional context
|
|
about what is being done.
|
|
For example, identifying the field names when parsing a complicated
|
|
data structure.
|
|
OPENSSL_mem_debug_push() (which calls CRYPTO_mem_debug_push())
|
|
attachs an identifying string to the allocation stack.
|
|
This must be a global or other static string; it is not copied.
|
|
OPENSSL_mem_debug_pop() removes identifying state from the stack.
|
|
|
|
At the end of the program, calling CRYPTO_mem_leaks() or
|
|
CRYPTO_mem_leaks_fp() will report all "leaked" memory, writing it
|
|
to the specified BIO B<b> or FILE B<fp>. These functions return 1 if
|
|
there are no leaks, 0 if there are leaks and -1 if an error occurred.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
OPENSSL_malloc_init(), OPENSSL_free(), OPENSSL_clear_free()
|
|
CRYPTO_free(), CRYPTO_clear_free() and CRYPTO_get_mem_functions()
|
|
return no value.
|
|
|
|
CRYPTO_mem_leaks() and CRYPTO_mem_leaks_fp() return 1 if there
|
|
are no leaks, 0 if there are leaks and -1 if an error occurred.
|
|
|
|
OPENSSL_malloc(), OPENSSL_zalloc(), OPENSSL_realloc(),
|
|
OPENSSL_clear_realloc(),
|
|
CRYPTO_malloc(), CRYPTO_zalloc(), CRYPTO_realloc(),
|
|
CRYPTO_clear_realloc(),
|
|
OPENSSL_buf2hexstr(), OPENSSL_hexstr2buf(),
|
|
OPENSSL_strdup(), and OPENSSL_strndup()
|
|
return a pointer to allocated memory or NULL on error.
|
|
|
|
CRYPTO_set_mem_functions() and CRYPTO_set_mem_debug()
|
|
return 1 on success or 0 on failure (almost
|
|
always because allocations have already happened).
|
|
|
|
CRYPTO_mem_ctrl() returns the previous value of the mode.
|
|
|
|
OPENSSL_mem_debug_push() and OPENSSL_mem_debug_pop()
|
|
return 1 on success or 0 on failure.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
While it's permitted to swap out only a few and not all the functions
|
|
with CRYPTO_set_mem_functions(), it's recommended to swap them all out
|
|
at once. I<This applies specially if OpenSSL was built with the
|
|
configuration option> C<crypto-mdebug> I<enabled. In case, swapping out
|
|
only, say, the malloc() implementation is outright dangerous.>
