ssl: take the OID table and the OpenSSL cipher-string parser from #8007 - #8646
Merged
Merged
Conversation
`txt2obj` and `nid2obj` have to answer with OpenSSL's own numbers, and the
table behind them was 39 entries transcribed by hand, so every object
outside that set was reported unknown.
Read OpenSSL's own files instead: `obj_mac.num` carries each object's NID
and `objects.txt` carries its OID, short name and description, and the
identifier `objects.pl` derives per object -- the `!Cname` override, else
the description, else the short name, each qualified by the enclosing
`!module` with `-` spelled `_` -- joins the two. `OidEntry`, `OidTable`
and the `find_by_*` functions keep their shape, so `ssl.rs` only changes
where an object has no OID to report.
Three details the object database settles that a curated table did not
have to:
- an object written with one name carries it as both, so
`nid2obj(48)` is `('emailAddress', 'emailAddress', ...)`;
- an object need not have an OID at all -- `DES-EDE3` and 139 other
algorithm names have a NID and nothing to encode -- so the fourth
field of the tuple is None for those, as it is on OpenSSL;
- one arc does not encode, since DER packs the first two into a byte,
so the bare roots `iso` and `itu-t` are OID-less too, while two arcs
such as X500's `2.5` are a real object.
Checked against `_ssl.nid2obj` on CPython built with OpenSSL, over every
NID it answers: 1387 of its 1390 present, with no disagreement on any of
them, up from 39. The three absent are OpenSSL's unnamed placeholder
slots, which it reports as ('NULL', 'NULL', None).
The data files come from openssl/openssl `crypto/objects/`, via the
rustls integration rewrite in RustPython#8007.

Replaces the pattern matcher `set_ciphers` used with the grammar `man openssl-ciphers` documents, in a new `ssl/cipher.rs` taken from RustPython#8007: `!`, `-`, `+`, `@STRENGTH`, `@SECLEVEL=n`, `+`-joined conjunctions, the DEFAULT/ALL/COMPLEMENTOF* groups, protocol versions, SUITEB*, and the aXXX/kXXX/eXXX prefixes. `set_ciphers` raises "No cipher can be selected." for a string that names nothing the provider offers, which is the one failure SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list reports, and keeps the TLS 1.3 suites selected in provider order because that setter does not reach them. A SUITEB* string pins its own key exchange groups, which `prepare_kx_groups` now reads. Against CPython's OpenSSL over 78 cipher strings, the selections agree except under `@SECLEVEL=n`, which OpenSSL applies at handshake time and this applies to the selection. `CryptoExt` gains `default_cipher_suites` so that `DEFAULT` and `ALL` are distinguishable.

explicit first-sub-op flag instead of using lhs.is_empty(). Initialize and pass
this flag through the conjunction evaluation so empty matches remain empty on
subsequent intersections. In the Full branch, always call extend_or_intersect,
including when by_name returns None, so unknown names intersect to no suites.
- Around line 317-321: Update all three SuiteB branches to validate their
hardcoded cipher IDs against the active provider before or while calling
ids_to_suits, returning a cipher error when any requested suite is absent
instead of allowing CIPHER_MAPPINGS.entry to panic. Preserve the existing
successful suite lists for providers that support them.

Use the provider-ordered cipher metadata table as the single source for parsing, reporting, OpenSSL names and descriptions. This makes get_ciphers reflect the context selection and validates curves and Suite B against the active provider. Keep set_ciphers from changing TLS 1.3 suites, preserve the provider's order, fix empty conjunctions, and keep FIPS initialization within the provider's filtered cipher and key-exchange defaults.

Summary
Two self-contained pieces of #8007 (@im-0), applied to the rustls backend we
already have. That PR is marked DO NOT MERGE and rewrites the backend as a
whole; this takes only the two parts that stand on their own, with @im-0
credited as co-author on both commits.
