fix(bcrypt): preserve the version identifier and guard 2x digests - #354
Conversation
Decoded digests always encoded with the 2b version identifier, so a 2a, 2x or 2y digest changed when it was encoded again. For the SHA256 variant the t parameter was also discarded and replaced with 2b. The 2x identifier marks digests produced by the crypt_blowfish sign extension bug. These were verified as if they were 2b digests, which is only correct for passwords made up of ASCII bytes. Passwords containing bytes with the high bit set silently failed to match, for example the crypt_blowfish reference vector for "\xa3". Decoded digests now keep their version identifier, while hashed digests continue to use 2b. Matching a standard 2x digest against a password containing non-ASCII bytes now returns ErrPasswordInvalid instead of reporting a mismatch. ASCII passwords, and the SHA256 variant which always passes base64 encoded input to bcrypt, are unaffected.
