In rC76aad97dd312: fips: Reject shorter key for HMAC in FIPS mode., I added rejection, but it would be good to move the check to src/visibility.c to allow internal use.

Looking illumos-gate, Solaris variants have no issues.

Wine 5.0.3 (on Debian bullseye) fails.
Wine 6.0.3 Debian testing does no failure.

This problem does not seem to exist in GnuPG 2.3.6.

My intention to refer rG7b1db7192 was to specify the HEAD of STABLE-BRANCH-2-2, meaning "the head of STABLE-BRANCH-2-2 today". The commit itself has no meaning.

I created minimized test:

Closing in favor of D556.

When failing due to a bad packet in a detached signature, log the
packet's type.

I fixed the title, because it is not a Windows only issue.

The mentioned "g10: Fix garbled status messages in NOTATION_DATA" has nothing to do with the problem. So it can'r be the actual cause. Anway, I hope to get a 2.2.36 out this week.

iirc, we use ftruncate for ages now. The problem with the name ftruncate is that it looks to similar to the stdio functions. But sure, things should be flushed first.

I can replicate the error by 2.2.35, but I cannot replicate it with rG7b1db7192.
I tested:

• GNU/Linux
  • i686
  • x86_64
• Windows
  • i686

Compressed packets in detached signatures and/or certificates have never been permitted by any version of the standard.

The likely cause is that the secret key is not protected. Problem seems to be in gpg-agent.

Looking again at your report, I don't think it is an IPC problem (bad magic cooky was my assumption). I can replicate this with the current 2.2 but not with 2.3. Both un Unix.

Please don't play ping pong now,

Please report such bugs to RedHat - they use a modified Libgcrypt and thus it's there bug.

The length limit of the signature sub packets are not reasy to pre-compute. Better to have a fatal error than a corrupt message. I am not sure whether we want to change this to a regualar error message - at that point we anyway need to stop.

You deleted the socket file but you did not restart the agent. Thus gpg can't contact the agent anymore. On Windows we use a socket emulation which requires the socket's file only for a new connection (to get the port and magic cookie).

I will try, but it will likely be a while. In any case I believe you will need a Red Hat-family distro to trigger the bug; it happens when gpg trys to encrypt with a key that uses a public key algorithm libgcrypt does not support.

Please provide a test case.

Reopening as it appears this issue was closed based on an incorrect understanding of what it is.

Reopening as gpg’s handling of the situation is very much suboptimal.
