[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-5175) Behaviour change in 2.0.20 due to use of IOUtils.populateBuffer in SecurityHandler.prepareAESInitializationVector leading to IOException for certain PDF

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5175?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17330431#comment-17330431 ] 

Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-5175:
--------------------------------------------

Looks like a bug and of cause it is unintentionally ;-) The if clause should be changed to {{ivSize == 0}}
[~sfieber] Are you able to check my proposal?

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5175
>             Project: PDFBox
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Parsing
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.20, 2.0.21, 2.0.23
>            Reporter: Sebastian Fieber
>            Priority: Minor
>
> We have a PDF file which we cannot share which has a cerification signature from Adobe.
> Prior version 2.0.20 this PDF could be loaded and analyzed. From version 2.0.20 and newer calling the load method from PDDocument results in a IOException.
> We tracked down the problem why this was not happening in 2.0.19 and found out the populateBuffer method changes the behaviour of the prepareAESInitializationVector method.
> Before the code looked like this:
> {code:java}
>         if (decrypt)
>         {
>             // read IV from stream
>             int ivSize = data.read(iv);
>             if (ivSize == -1)
>             {
>                 return false;
>             }
>             if (ivSize != iv.length)
>             {
>                 throw new IOException(
>                         "AES initialization vector not fully read: only "
>                                 + ivSize + " bytes read instead of " + iv.length);
>             }
> {code}
> if data was empty -1 was returned from the read call and the method returned false and everything went on okay. 2.0.20 introduced changes this line to:
> {code:java}
>             int ivSize = (int) IOUtils.populateBuffer(data, iv);
>             if (ivSize == -1) { 
>                 return false; 
>             }
> {code}
> Due to the if condition being still there we are not quite sure if this was intentional.
> populateBuffer will never return -1 but anything >= 0.
> So either this is unintentionally than this is a bug and the if clause should check for 0 bytes read. Or this is intentional and the if clause is obsolete as well as the boolean return value.
> Here is a stacktrace (no line numbers, sorry):
> {code:java}
> Caused by: java.io.IOException: AES initialization vector not fully read: only 0 bytes read instead of 16
