Comment 8 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-05-14 07:52:41 UTC
Is this bundling crypto++?
Comment 9 Jesús P Rey (Chuso) 2021-07-04 20:23:45 UTC
It still compiles correctly for me with sys-devel/gcc:10. I think the issue is only triggered with sys-devel/gcc:11, which is still in ~arch.

There seems to be an upstream patch for it: https://github.com/ygrek/mldonkey/commit/d9394aa

I'm currently merging sys-devel/gcc:11 to try to reproduce the issue and test the patch.

Answering Sam's question and looking at the comments inside CryptoPP.cc, yes, this seems to be a modified copy of crypto++:

> // This file contains a subset of the Crypto++ library (version 5.2.1), with 
> // kind permission from Wei Dai. Please note that this file should not reflect 
> // on the real Crypto++ library in any way, as this file been greatly mangled to 
> // reduce the code-size, since this app only makes use of RSA classes (for Secure 
> // Identification) and the MD4 hashing class (for FileIDs).

I don't know how easy (if possible) unbundling it could be without modifying the code.

Looking at the Makefile, it seems this is used by DonkeySUI and could be avoided with --disable-donkeysui (with the obvious side effect of disabling SecureUserIdent for the eDonkey protocol).

I think the easiest and fastest solution is testing the upstream patch.

The upstream patch doesn't fix it for me. This will need more research.
