Description
Hello,
When running a different module under Valgrind, I noticed that CryptoPP seems to use uninitialized values at a few points:
==8726== Use of uninitialised value of size 4 ==8726== at 0x65D6325: CryptoPP::Rijndael_Enc_AdvancedProcessBlocks(void*, unsigned int const*) (in /usr/lib/libcrypto++.so.8.0.0) ==8726== by 0x65D651D: CryptoPP::Rijndael::Enc::AdvancedProcessBlocks(unsigned char const*, unsigned char const*, unsigned char*, unsigned int, unsigned int) const (in /usr/lib/libcrypto++.so.8.0.0) ==8726== by 0x65B1341: CryptoPP::CTR_ModePolicy::OperateKeystream(CryptoPP::KeystreamOperation, unsigned char*, unsigned char const*, unsigned int) (in /usr/lib/libcrypto++.so.8.0.0) ==8726== by 0x62EE05E: CryptoPP::CTR_ModePolicy::WriteKeystream(unsigned char*, unsigned int) (modes.h:151) ==8726== by 0x650B48E: CryptoPP::AdditiveCipherTemplate<CryptoPP::AbstractPolicyHolder<CryptoPP::AdditiveCipherAbstractPolicy, CryptoPP::CTR_ModePolicy> >::ProcessData(unsigned char*, unsigned char const*, unsigned int) (in /usr/lib/libcrypto++.so.8.0.0) ==8726== by 0x62EDA5D: AES_process(AES*, _object*) (aesmodule.cpp:77) ==8726== by 0x80F92A8: call_function (ceval.c:3738) ==8726== by 0x80F4ACA: PyEval_EvalFrameEx (ceval.c:2412) ==8726== by 0x80F7214: PyEval_EvalCodeEx (ceval.c:3000) ==8726== by 0x80F99F3: fast_function (ceval.c:3846) ==8726== by 0x80F964C: call_function (ceval.c:3771) ==8726== by 0x80F4ACA: PyEval_EvalFrameEx (ceval.c:2412)

The Crypto++ version is 5.6.0, python-pycryptopp is 0.5.17.
comment:4 Changed at 2011-01-13T21:21:24Z by zooko
Hm, I'm pretty busy but this could be a serious bug. Is anyone else available to look at it?
comment:5 Changed at 2011-01-16T07:37:39Z by zooko
- Owner changed from Nikratio to zooko
- Status changed from new to assigned
Okay, I'll look at this.
comment:6 Changed at 2011-01-16T08:04:32Z by zooko
Could not reproduce with:
$ PYTHONPATH= python -c 'import pycryptopp;print pycryptopp.__version__;print pycryptopp._pycryptopp.cryptopp_version' 0.5.25-r761 (560, 'pycryptopp-0.5.25-r761')
comment:7 Changed at 2011-01-16T08:14:40Z by zooko
Also could not reproduce with pycryptopp-0.5.17. Will add your test to the buildbot...

Okay I added your test to the test suite and am running it on the buildbots. See the buildbots for results. I can't reproduce it, and the version of pycryptopp you were using is a bit old. Please try to reproduce it with the latest version and report back. I'm assigning this ticket to you, so please close it when you are done with it, or assign it back to me if you want more help from me.
comment:9 Changed at 2011-01-16T22:08:20Z by Nikratio
I'll try with the newest version. Where can I find the results from the buildbots?

I'm able to reproduce the problem with:

The same valgrind warning happens when you run cryptopp561.zip upstream (see below).
Wei Dai, primary author of upstream Crypto++, is looking into it.

The way the AES inline assembly is written makes Valgrind think it's using uninitialised value when it's not. I've checked in a workaround to Crypto++ SVN as revision 525.

Dear Wei Dai:
Thanks again for the quick response to this bug report!
The sf.net SVN browser is off-line due to a security breach at sf.net: http://sourceforge.net/blog/sourceforge-net-attack/ (and by the way we should probably think about what could go wrong if the servers that host Crypto++ were compromised. Does everyone need to check the secure hashes of the downloadable .zip files? What about revision control history -- how can we verify that it hasn't been tampered with. Are there any other assets at sf.net that we might need to account for? The issue tracker? Any passwords or other secrets stored at sf.net?)
The bzr mirror that I have set up (launchpad.net does this for me automatically) has this as patch 520:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~zooko/cryptopp/trunk/revision/502
Here is the text of it:

Could you please explain further how this is not actually a bug in Crypto++ but only a false alarm from valgrind? Valgrind rarely emits false alarms -- the only other one I've seen is the interesting case of PyObject_Free.
I would like to understand what is going on here, but my grasp of assembly is weak.
Thanks!

I committed the patch to pycryptopp as 906683989eddadb9a5f4da17ce49867b3e27a24a/git. Thanks! (I still want to understand it if you can take time to explain.)
Is it possible that the data or the key really are uninitialised?
Another possibility would be if your version of Crypto++ doesn't have this patch: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~zooko/cryptopp/trunk/revision/455 from 2009-09-17.
Can you please submit a minimal test that demonstrates this bug when run under valgrind, either a program that I can build and execute with:
make && valgrind $PROGNAME or else a unit test that I can execute with make && valgrind python setup.py test.
