Description:

Hello Postgres Community,

When I attempt to decrypt a file I successfully encrypted with a size of
65530, I get the “Error: Wrong key or corrupt data” message.

Here are the steps to reproduce in plain text:


$ head -c 65536 </dev/urandom > can_decode.txt
$ head -c 65530 </dev/urandom > can_not_decode.txt
$ psql

create or replace function bytea_import(p_path text, p_result out bytea)
language plpgsql as $$
declare
l_oid oid;
r record;
begin
p_result := '';
select lo_import(p_path) into l_oid;
for r in ( select data
from pg_largeobject
where loid = l_oid
order by pageno ) loop
p_result = p_result || r.data;
end loop;
perform lo_unlink(l_oid);
end;$$;


create table enc (file_name text PRIMARY KEY, blob bytea, file_size bigint)


insert into enc values ( 'can_decode.txt', (select
bytea_import(‘~/can_decode.txt')), 65536);


insert into enc values ( 'can_not_decode.txt', (select
bytea_import(‘~/can_not_decode.txt')), 65530);


select file_name,md5(blob),file_size from enc;
file_name | md5 | file_size
------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------
can_decode.txt | a4a66bd8f16aab703857085e474a5873 | 65536
can_not_decode.txt | c04549e976852a555070c3a6ba9d64b4 | 65530


insert into enc values ( 'can_decode.txt enc', NULL , 65536);


insert into enc values ( 'can_not_decode.txt enc', NULL , 65530);


update enc set blob = (select pgp_sym_encrypt_bytea(blob, 'I AM THE
PASSWORD') from enc where file_name = 'can_decode.txt') where file_name =
'can_decode.txt enc';


update enc set blob = (select pgp_sym_encrypt_bytea(blob, 'I AM THE
PASSWORD') from enc where file_name = 'can_not_decode.txt') where file_name
= 'can_not_decode.txt enc';


insert into enc values ( 'can_decode.txt de-enc', NULL , 65536);


insert into enc values ( 'can_not_decode.txt de-enc', NULL , 65530);



update enc set blob = (select pgp_sym_decrypt_bytea(blob, 'I AM THE
PASSWORD') from enc where file_name = 'can_decode.txt enc') where file_name
= 'can_decode.txt de-enc';


update enc set blob = (select pgp_sym_decrypt_bytea(blob, 'I AM THE
PASSWORD') from enc where file_name = 'can_not_decode.txt enc') where
file_name = 'can_not_decode.txt de-enc';

At this point, I get the error.

I’ve been able to reproduce this on Postgres 9.1 and 9.3.

Please let me know if I can provide more information.

Thanks!
Connor
