v2.0.16 31 Oct 2023
[Security]
* [jws] ECDSA signature verification requires us to check if the signature
is of the desired length of bytes, but this check that used to exist before
had been removed in [#65](https://github.com/lestrrat-go/jwx/issues/65), resulting in certain malformed signatures to pass
verification.
One of the ways this could happen if R is a 31 byte integer and S is 32 byte integer,
both containing the correct signature values, but R is not zero-padded.
Correct = R: [ 0 , ... ] (32 bytes) S: [ ... ] (32 bytes)
Wrong = R: [ ... ] (31 bytes) S: [ ... ] (32 bytes)
In order for this check to pass, you would still need to have all 63 bytes
populated with the correct signature. The only modification a bad actor
may be able to do is to add one more byte at the end, in which case the
first 32 bytes (including what would have been S's first byte) is used for R,
and S would contain the rest. But this will only result in the verification to
fail. Therefore this in itself should not pose any security risk, albeit
allowing some illegally formated messages to be verified.
[jwk] jwk.Key objects now have a Validate() method to validate the data
stored in the keys. However, this still does not necessarily mean that the key's
are valid for use in cryptographic operations. If Validate() is successful,
it only means that the keys are in the right format, including the presence
of required fields and that certain fields have proper length, etc.
[New Features]
[jws] Added jws.WithValidateKey() to force calling key.Validate() before
signing or verification.
[jws] jws.Sign() now returns a special type of error that can hold the
individual errors from the signers. The stringification is still the same
as before to preserve backwards compatibility.
[jwk] Added jwk.IsKeyValidationError that checks if an error is an error
from key.Validate().
[Bug Fixes]
[jwt] jwt.ParseInsecure() was running verification if you provided a key
via jwt.WithKey() or jwt.WithKeySet() (#1007)
