>Description:
The pktools/digest implementation of ripemd160 has a flaw that fails to
compute the correct checksum on 64bit systems.
When incrementing the total length value for a hash block, it checks
the lower 32 bits for an overflow to update the upper 32 bits:
if (context->length[0] + nbytes < context->length[0])
context->length[1]++; /* overflow to msb of length */
context->length[0] += nbytes;
However, the nbytes value is declared as size_t, which on 64bit systems is 64bit,
so the sum never overflows.
The bug was introduced with rmd160.c 1.7 in 2007 where the nbytes type changed
from uint32_t to size_t.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run digest rmd160 on files larger than 4GB and compare results on 32bit and
64bit architectures.
>Fix:
For example:
