The implementation seems fine to me, thanks!

/cc @nodejs/crypto

This leaks memory, buf is not free’d here (the same applies below)

Amended commit, now free()ing the buffers in both functions. Thanks.

Can you wrap the functions that should be called exactly once in common.mustCall()?

I wrapped all callbacks in common.mustCall(), except for the exit event.

Is there maybe a more suitable event to listen for, like the finished event of bob or similar?

I considered other ways to catch the moment when both alice and bob had saved their versions of Finished messages, however the code gets messy compared to just listening to the exit event.

What are the actual about the contents of these buffers? How does the peer generate them? Should Node provide support for that too?

I added "as part of a SSL/TLS handshake" phrase to the documentation in order to emphasize that the Finished messages are internal to OpenSSL implementation and are not provided by application.

@codedot If these are internal to OpenSSL, how is the returned buffer meaningful to the caller?

@addaleax An article called Why is it unlikely to have a complete and alternative implementation of Ripple? describes in detail how the Finished messages are used to generate Session-Signature in rippled using the fact that both Finished messages are available on both sides of an SSL/TLS socket. Also, see XRPLF/rippled#2413 and the comment by @JoelKatz.

However, I would not suggest including this motivation into Node.js documentation because I do not think it would be wise to endorse such a questionable method.

@codedot All of these only resources only describe that these functions are necessary to implement that protocol, but make no statements about what guarantees can be made about the returned contents of these buffers.

I realize that the OpenSSL documentation and source code don’t provide much more information either, but since apparently people found a use case for these functions, there must be sensible statements that we could make here in the documentation.

@addaleax Well, I think Node.js should not provide more documentation for these routines than OpenSSL itself does. The modern versions do not include any man(1) pages for them like they used to. However, even the old documentation was not descriptive.

Well, I think Node.js should not provide more documentation than OpenSSL itself does.

I’d agree, but the place to start fixing this would be the OpenSSL documentation then ;)

I’m just really not a fan of having documentation that doesn’t really describe what something does…

I’d agree, but the place to start fixing this would be the OpenSSL documentation then ;)

I'm afraid that's the best I can do :(

@codedot I guess there’s no harm in opening an issue: openssl/openssl#5509

@addaleax Thank you very much for asking OpenSSL team for help. Documentation updated, please review.

LGTM with a nit.

I think it might be worth verifying that len is less than EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE * 2.

@indutny This test is done in the routines themselves.

Yes, it is done there. However, what I'm asking to check is that the data is complete and not partial.

@indutny Oh, I see now what you mean. In order to ensure that the message is not being cut off, I provide the buffer of the same size that the corresponding arrays have in <openssl/ssl3.h>. Also, the comment there suggests that EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE * 2 may possibly be an overstatement:

        /* actually only need to be 16+20 for SSLv3 and 12 for TLS */
        unsigned char finish_md[EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE * 2];
        int finish_md_len;
        unsigned char peer_finish_md[EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE * 2];
        int peer_finish_md_len;

assert then?

I suggest to add an assert here anyway. We've little control over OpenSSL codebase, and it'd be great to have a check for partial data even if such can't be returned right now.

@indutny I am sorry, but I still cannot understand what assertion exactly do you mean?

@indutny Nevermind, I amended the commit to call SSL_get_finished and SSL_get_peer_finished twice: first just to get the actual length, then to copy the message to the buffer.

Unfortunately, this is undefined behavior:

If an argument to a function has an invalid value (such as a value outside the domain of the
function, or a pointer outside the address space of the program, or a null pointer, or a pointer
to non-modifiable storage when the corresponding parameter is not const-qualified) or a
type (after promotion) not expected by a function with variable number of arguments, the
behavior is undefined.

See: https://www.imperialviolet.org/2016/06/26/nonnull.html

I'm fine with what it looked like before. Could you please revert it to that form and add:

CHECK_LT(len, EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE * 2);

@indutny Oops, I did not know about section 7.1.4, my bad. Still, I would prefer avoiding the EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE * 2 constant because it is unclear how exactly the latter is related to the Finished messages. So, I further amended the commit to use a dummy array instead of nullptr not to cause undefined behavior in memcpy().

LGTM

This probably needs a comment, explaining that nullptr can't be passed to SSL_get_finished.

@indutny Indeed, using a dummy byte without a comment is not readily understandable. Comments added, please review.

I read the linked issue but I couldn't quite figure out from the discussion what function this has in ripple. MitM or replay protection?

edit: didn't feel like a particularly good solution and I guess my spidey sense wasn't completely off: openssl/openssl#5509

I think the docs could be more explicit that it's for implementing tls-unique channel binding from RFC 5929.

(That is the intended use case, right?)

@bnoordhuis While RFC 5929 might be a use case for the introduced tlsSocket.getFinished() and tlsSocket.getPeerFinished() methods, that is not exactly what rippled does. Should I still reference RFC 5929 in documentation?

I would lean towards 'yes'. Outside of rippled that seems like the primary (and possibly only) use case.

Definitely agree that the docs could include more context. Code impl looks fine tho.

It looks like the pull request is stalling. The link to RFC 5929 has been added two days ago.

Not stalling at all :-) ... just busy people working on lots of different things :-) I've started the CI on this, things are looking good so far.

Style: tiniest of nits but can you use explicit size checks, i.e., if (len == 0)? Likewise on line 2139.

Substance: couldn't you pass in a buffer of size EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE? The result value is (essentially) the HMAC of the message. You can then drop the Malloc() call and switch to Buffer::Copy().

Will do.

I would prefer avoiding referencing the EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE constant if I may.

That's fine. Didn't see until afterwards that you discussed the same thing with @indutny.

Can you CHECK_EQ(size, SSL_get_finished(...)) here and on line 2143?

@bnoordhuis Done in the amended commit.

CI: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-pull-request/13533/

Please add:

 <!-- YAML
 added: REPLACEME
 -->

The same for the other function.

@BridgeAR Done in the amended commit.

The current implementation actually returns null in case there is no handle. Should this also be reflected here? And it would be good to add a test for that as well.

@BridgeAR Actually, it might be more consistent to return undefined in case there is no handle. What do you think?

I agree.

@BridgeAR Done in the amended commit.
