From f1ec0d77722a8a02df8731ae1f704a2b86335699 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Toddr Bot Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 07:00:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] fix: reject non-RSA keys in _load_rsa_key() on OpenSSL 3.x On OpenSSL 3.x, the compatibility macros remap PEM_read_bio_RSAPrivateKey to the generic PEM_read_bio_PrivateKey, which accepts any key type (EC, DSA, etc.). Pre-3.x used RSA-specific loaders that rejected non-RSA keys at parse time. Without this check, loading an EC private key "succeeds" but _is_private() returns false (it looks for RSA's d parameter), and operations fail with confusing errors like "Public keys cannot sign messages" or "operation not supported for this keytype". Add EVP_PKEY_get_base_id() validation after key loading on 3.x to restore the pre-3.x behavior of rejecting non-RSA keys with a clear error message.

Replaced with `File::Temp` — writes PEM to a temp file and passes `-in $tmpfile` to openssl. This avoids shell interpretation entirely and is portable across platforms. Per reviewer @Koan-Bot's warning about shell interpolation fragility. - **Added RSA-PSS exclusion comment** (`RSA.xs`): Added comment documenting that `EVP_PKEY_RSA_PSS` keys are intentionally rejected since this module only supports traditional `EVP_PKEY_RSA`. Per reviewer @Koan-Bot's suggestion. - **Added RSA-PSS rejection tests** (`t/format.t`): Added 4 new tests verifying RSA-PSS private and public keys are rejected with appropriate error messages, with skip guards for environments where RSA-PSS key generation isn't available. Uses the same temp file pattern for public key extraction. Per reviewer @Koan-Bot's suggestion to document RSA-PSS behavior via tests.
