H A Dmain.c1ed941c0b0ff89980dd421d720ec7d9b00c71d57 Wed Jan 20 21:34:51 UTC 2021 Jimmy Brisson <jimmy.brisson@arm.com> cert-tool: avoid duplicates in extension stack

This bug manifests itself as a segfault triggered by a double-free.

I noticed that right before the double-free, the sk list contained 2
elements with the same address.

(gdb) p sk_X509_EXTENSION_value(sk, 1)
$34 = (X509_EXTENSION *) 0x431ad0
(gdb) p sk_X509_EXTENSION_value(sk, 0)
$35 = (X509_EXTENSION *) 0x431ad0
(gdb) p sk_X509_EXTENSION_num(sk)
$36 = 2

This caused confusion; this should never happen.

I figured that this was caused by a ext_new_xxxx function freeing
something before it is added to the list, so I put a breakpoint on
each of them to step through. I was suprised to find that none of my
breakpoints triggered for the second element of the iteration through
the outer loop just before the double-free.

Looking through the code, I noticed that it's possible to avoid doing
a ext_new_xxxx, when either:
* ext->type == NVCOUNTER and ext->arg == NULL
* ext->type == HASH and ext->arg == NULL and ext->optional == false
So I put a breakpoint on both.

It turns out that it was the HASH version, but I added a fix for both.
The fix for the Hash case is simple, as it was a mistake. The fix for
the NVCOUNTER case, however, is a bit more subtle. The NVCOUNTER may
be optional, and when it's optional we can skip it. The other case,
when the NVCOUNTER is required (not optinal), the `check_cmd_params`
function has already verified that the `ext->arg` must be non-NULL.
We assert that before processing it to covert any possible segfaults
into more descriptive errors.

This should no longer cause double-frees by adding the same ext twice.
