Support opaque MPI with gcry_mpi_print
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

While opaque MPI is supported with gcry_sexp_build since version 1.5.0, gcry_mpi_print prints out wrongly.

In master, for ECC, opaque MPI is used to represent point, it should be supported.

Event Timeline

A program like tests/t-mpi-point assumes gcry_mpi_print can do that.
We have a sort of regression with --debug option with t-mpi-point, the point q is not printed out correctly.

gniibe changed the task status from Open to Testing.Mar 11 2020, 8:13 AM
gniibe added a project: Restricted Project.

Fixed in master.

I am not sure whether this is related but when using Libgcrypt master and verifying a signature created with an ed25519 key, I get the error below with valgrind. Both with 2.2. current and 2.3. It does not happen with the current Libgcrypt 1.8.

Patch backported to 2.2

I can't replicate my valgrind bug reported on March 13 with Libgcrypt master nor 1.8.
