2015-12-19gpg: Add option --weak-digest to gpg and gpgv.Daniel Kahn Gillmor1-0/+8
* g10/options.h: Add weak_digests linked list to opts. * g10/main.h: Declare weakhash linked list struct and additional_weak_digest() function to insert newly-declared weak digests into opts. * g10/misc.c: (additional_weak_digest): New function. (print_digest_algo_note): Check for deprecated digests. * g10/sig-check.c: (do_check): Reject all weak digests. * g10/gpg.c: Add --weak-digest option to gpg. * doc/gpg.texi: Document gpg --weak-digest option. * g10/gpgv.c: Add --weak-digest option to gpgv. * doc/gpgv.texi: Document gpgv --weak-digest option. -- gpg and gpgv treat signatures made over MD5 as unreliable, unless the user supplies --allow-weak-digests to gpg. Signatures over any other digest are considered acceptable. Despite SHA-1 being a mandatory-to-implement digest algorithm in RFC 4880, the collision-resistance of SHA-1 is weaker than anyone would like it to be. Some operators of high-value targets that depend on OpenPGP signatures may wish to require their signers to use a stronger digest algorithm than SHA1, even if the OpenPGP ecosystem at large cannot deprecate SHA1 entirely today. This changeset adds a new "--weak-digest DIGEST" option for both gpg and gpgv, which makes it straightforward for anyone to treat any signature or certification made over the specified digest as unreliable. This option can be supplied multiple times if the operator wishes to deprecate multiple digest algorithms, and will be ignored completely if the operator supplies --allow-weak-digests (as before). MD5 is always considered weak, regardless of any further --weak-digest options supplied.

USE_GNUPG_ICONV. (AC_CANONICAL_TARGET): Replaced by AC_CANONICAL_HOST. Changed all reference to TARGET to HOST. Made sure that i586-mingw32msvc gets detected as mingw32. (UNIT64_C): Don't include inttype.h uncoditional but use a test to ensure that it gets into conftest.h. (AH_TOP): New. Prevent double inclusion of config.h. * config.links: Use HOST instead of TARGET.
