I thought /EFF was supposed to be used as a default for decrypting
embedded file streams, but actually it's supposed to be advice to a
conforming writer about handling new ones. This makes sense since the
findAttachmentStreams code, which is not actually needed, was never
right.
Use PointerHolder in several places where manually memory allocation
and deallocation were being used. This helps to protect against memory
leaks when exceptions are thrown in surprising places.
This makes all integer type conversions that have potential data loss
explicit with calls that do range checks and raise an exception. After
this commit, qpdf builds with no warnings when -Wsign-conversion
-Wconversion is used with gcc or clang or when -W3 -Wd4800 is used
with MSVC. This significantly reduces the likelihood of potential
crashes from bogus integer values.
There are some parts of the code that take int when they should take
size_t or an offset. Such places would make qpdf not support files
with more than 2^31 of something that usually wouldn't be so large. In
the event that such a file shows up and is valid, at least qpdf would
raise an error in the right spot so the issue could be legitimately
addressed rather than failing in some weird way because of a silent
overflow condition.
Add options to enable the raw encryption key to be directly shown or
specified. Thanks to Didier Stevens <didier.stevens@gmail.com> for the
idea and contribution of one implementation of this idea.
Converting a password to an encryption key is supposed to copy up to a
certain number of bytes from a digest. Make sure never to copy more
than the size of the digest.
Space rather than newline after xref, missing /ID in trailer for
encrypted file. This enables qpdf to handle some files that xpdf can
handle. Adobe reader can't necessarily handle them.
Read and write support is implemented for /V=5 with /R=5 as well as
/R=6. /R=5 is the deprecated encryption method used by Acrobat IX.
/R=6 is the encryption method used by PDF 2.0 from ISO 32000-2.
Add --copy-encryption and --encryption-file-password options to qpdf.
Also strengthen test suite for copying encryption. The strengthened
test suite would have caught the failure to preserve AES and the
failure to update the file version, which was invalidating the
encrypted data.
Significantly improve the code's use of off_t for file offsets, size_t
for memory sizes, and integer types in cases where there has to be
compatibility with external interfaces. Rework sections of the code
that would have prevented qpdf from working on files larger than 2 (or
maybe 4) GB in size.
