31 | WARNING! This module is very new, and not very well tested (that's up to |
|
|
32 | you to do). Furthermore, details of the implementation might change freely |
|
|
33 | before version 1.0. And lastly, the object serialisation protocol depends |
|
|
34 | on a pending IANA assignment, and until that assignment is official, this |
|
|
35 | implementation is not interoperable with other implementations (even |
|
|
36 | future versions of this module) until the assignment is done. |

|
|
194 | If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<encode> will throw an |
|
|
195 | exception when it encounters anything it cannot encode as CBOR. |
|
|
196 | |
|
|
197 | This option does not affect C<decode> in any way, and it is recommended to |
|
|
198 | leave it off unless you know your communications partner. |

|
|
203 | |
|
|
204 | If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then C<encode> will not double-encode |
|
|
205 | values that have been referenced before (e.g. when the same object, such |
|
|
206 | as an array, is referenced multiple times), but instead will emit a |
|
|
207 | reference to the earlier value. |
|
|
208 | |
|
|
209 | This means that such values will only be encoded once, and will not result |
|
|
210 | in a deep cloning of the value on decode, in decoders supporting the value |
|
|
211 | sharing extension. This also makes it possible to encode cyclic data |
|
|
212 | structures (which need C<allow_cycles> to be enabled to be decoded by this |
|
|
213 | module). |
|
|
214 | |
|
|
215 | It is recommended to leave it off unless you know your |
|
|
216 | communication partner supports the value sharing extensions to CBOR |
|
|
217 | (L<http://cbor.schmorp.de/value-sharing>), as without decoder support, the |
|
|
218 | resulting data structure might be unusable. |
|
|
219 | |
|
|
220 | Detecting shared values incurs a runtime overhead when values are encoded |
|
|
221 | that have a reference counter large than one, and might unnecessarily |
|
|
222 | increase the encoded size, as potentially shared values are encoded as |
|
|
223 | shareable whether or not they are actually shared. |
|
|
224 | |
|
|
225 | At the moment, only targets of references can be shared (e.g. scalars, |
|
|
226 | arrays or hashes pointed to by a reference). Weirder constructs, such as |
|
|
227 | an array with multiple "copies" of the I<same> string, which are hard but |
|
|
228 | not impossible to create in Perl, are not supported (this is the same as |
|
|
229 | with L<Storable>). |
|
|
230 | |
|
|
231 | If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<encode> will encode shared |
|
|
232 | data structures repeatedly, unsharing them in the process. Cyclic data |
|
|
233 | structures cannot be encoded in this mode. |
|
|
234 | |
|
|
235 | This option does not affect C<decode> in any way - shared values and |
|
|
236 | references will always be decoded properly if present. |
|
|

|

239 | |
|
|
240 | =item $enabled = $cbor->get_allow_cycles |
|
|
241 | |
|
|
242 | If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then C<decode> will happily decode |
|
|
243 | self-referential (cyclic) data structures. By default these will not be |
|
|
244 | decoded, as they need manual cleanup to avoid memory leaks, so code that |
|
|
245 | isn't prepared for this will not leak memory. |
|
|
246 | |
|
|
247 | If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<decode> will throw an error |
|
|
248 | when it encounters a self-referential/cyclic data structure. |
|
|
249 | |
|
|
250 | FUTURE DIRECTION: the motivation behind this option is to avoid I<real> |
|
|
251 | cycles - future versions of this module might chose to decode cyclic data |
|
|
252 | structures using weak references when this option is off, instead of |
|
|
253 | throwing an error. |
|
|
254 | |
|
|
255 | This option does not affect C<encode> in any way - shared values and |

261 | |
|
|
262 | Disables the use of the object serialiser protocol. |
|
|
263 | |
|
|
264 | If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then C<encode> will will throw an |
|
|
265 | exception when it encounters perl objects that would be encoded using the |
|
|
266 | perl-object tag (26). When C<decode> encounters such tags, it will fall |
|
|
267 | back to the general filter/tagged logic as if this were an unknown tag (by |
|
|
268 | default resulting in a C<CBOR::XC::Tagged> object). |
|
|
269 | |
|
|
270 | If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<encode> will use the |
|
|
271 | L<Types::Serialiser> object serialisation protocol to serialise objects |
|
|
272 | into perl-object tags, and C<decode> will do the same to decode such tags. |
|
|
273 | |
|
|
274 | See L<SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS>, below, for more info on why forbidding this |
|
|
275 | protocol can be useful. |

|
279 | =item $enabled = $cbor->get_pack_strings |
|
|
280 | |
|
|
281 | If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then C<encode> will try not to encode |
|
|
282 | the same string twice, but will instead encode a reference to the string |
|
|
283 | instead. Depending on your data format, this can save a lot of space, but |
|
|
284 | also results in a very large runtime overhead (expect encoding times to be |
|
|
285 | 2-4 times as high as without). |
|
|
286 | |
|
|
287 | It is recommended to leave it off unless you know your |
|
|
288 | communications partner supports the stringref extension to CBOR |
|
|
289 | (L<http://cbor.schmorp.de/stringref>), as without decoder support, the |
|
|
290 | resulting data structure might not be usable. |
|
|
291 | |
|
|
292 | If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<encode> will encode strings |
|
|
293 | the standard CBOR way. |
|
|
294 | |
|
|
295 | This option does not affect C<decode> in any way - string references will |
|
|
296 | always be decoded properly if present. |

|

298 | =item $cbor = $cbor->text_keys ([$enable]) |

|
|
300 | =item $enabled = $cbor->get_text_keys |
|
|
301 | |
|
|
302 | If C<$enabled> is true (or missing), then C<encode> will encode all |
|
|
303 | perl hash keys as CBOR text strings/UTF-8 string, upgrading them as needed. |
|
|
304 | |
|
|
305 | If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<encode> will encode hash keys |
|
|
306 | normally - upgraded perl strings (strings internally encoded as UTF-8) as |
|
|
307 | CBOR text strings, and downgraded perl strings as CBOR byte strings. |
|
|
308 | |
|
|
309 | This option does not affect C<decode> in any way. |
|
|
310 | |
|
|
311 | This option is useful for interoperability with CBOR decoders that don't |
|
|
312 | treat byte strings as a form of text. It is especially useful as Perl |
|
|
313 | gives very little control over hash keys. |
|
|
314 | |
|
|
315 | Enabling this option can be slow, as all downgraded hash keys that are |
|
|
316 | encoded need to be scanned and converted to UTF-8. |
|
|
317 | |
|
|
318 | =item $cbor = $cbor->text_strings ([$enable]) |
|
|
319 | |
|
|
320 | =item $enabled = $cbor->get_text_strings |
|
|
321 | |
|
|
322 | This option works similar to C<text_keys>, above, but works on all strings |
|
|
323 | (including hash keys), so C<text_keys> has no further effect after |
|
|
324 | enabling C<text_strings>. |
|
|
325 | |
|
|
326 | If C<$enabled> is true (or missing), then C<encode> will encode all perl |
|
|
327 | strings as CBOR text strings/UTF-8 strings, upgrading them as needed. |
|
|
328 | |
|
|
329 | If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<encode> will encode strings |
|
|
330 | normally (but see C<text_keys>) - upgraded perl strings (strings |
|
|
331 | internally encoded as UTF-8) as CBOR text strings, and downgraded perl |
|
|
332 | strings as CBOR byte strings. |
|
|
333 | |
|
|
334 | This option does not affect C<decode> in any way. |
|
|
335 | |
|
|
336 | This option has similar advantages and disadvantages as C<text_keys>. In |
|
|
337 | addition, this option effectively removes the ability to automatically |
|
|
338 | encode byte strings, which might break some C<FREEZE> and C<TO_CBOR> |
|
|
339 | methods that rely on this. |
|
|
340 | |
|
|
341 | A workaround is to use explicit type casts, which are unaffected by this option. |
|
|

343 | =item $cbor = $cbor->validate_utf8 ([$enable]) |
|
|
344 | |
|
|
345 | =item $enabled = $cbor->get_validate_utf8 |
|
|
346 | |
|
|
347 | If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then C<decode> will validate that |
|
|
348 | elements (text strings) containing UTF-8 data in fact contain valid UTF-8 |
|
|
349 | data (instead of blindly accepting it). This validation obviously takes |
|
|
350 | extra time during decoding. |
|
|
351 | |
|
|
352 | The concept of "valid UTF-8" used is perl's concept, which is a superset |
|
|
353 | of the official UTF-8. |
|
|
354 | |
|
|
355 | If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<decode> will blindly accept |
|
|
356 | UTF-8 data, marking them as valid UTF-8 in the resulting data structure |
|
|
357 | regardless of whether that's true or not. |
|
|
358 | |
|
|
359 | Perl isn't too happy about corrupted UTF-8 in strings, but should |
|
|
360 | generally not crash or do similarly evil things. Extensions might be not |
|
|
361 | so forgiving, so it's recommended to turn on this setting if you receive |
|
|
362 | untrusted CBOR. |
|
|
363 | |
|
|
364 | This option does not affect C<encode> in any way - strings that are |
|
|
365 | supposedly valid UTF-8 will simply be dumped into the resulting CBOR |
|
|
366 | string without checking whether that is, in fact, true or not. |
|
|
367 | |
|

368 | =item $cbor = $cbor->filter ([$cb->($tag, $value)]) |

370 | =item $cb_or_undef = $cbor->get_filter |
|
|
371 | |
|
|
372 | Sets or replaces the tagged value decoding filter (when C<$cb> is |
|
|
373 | specified) or clears the filter (if no argument or C<undef> is provided). |
|
|
374 | |
|
|
375 | The filter callback is called only during decoding, when a non-enforced |
|
|
376 | tagged value has been decoded (see L<TAG HANDLING AND EXTENSIONS> for a |
|
|
377 | list of enforced tags). For specific tags, it's often better to provide a |
|
|
378 | default converter using the C<%CBOR::XS::FILTER> hash (see below). |
|
|
379 | |
|
|
380 | The first argument is the numerical tag, the second is the (decoded) value |
|
|
381 | that has been tagged. |
|
|
382 | |
|
|
383 | The filter function should return either exactly one value, which will |
|
|
384 | replace the tagged value in the decoded data structure, or no values, |
|
|
385 | which will result in default handling, which currently means the decoder |
|
|
386 | creates a C<CBOR::XS::Tagged> object to hold the tag and the value. |
|
|
387 | |
|
|
388 | When the filter is cleared (the default state), the default filter |
|
|
389 | function, C<CBOR::XS::default_filter>, is used. This function simply |
|
|
390 | looks up the tag in the C<%CBOR::XS::FILTER> hash. If an entry exists |
|
|
391 | it must be a code reference that is called with tag and value, and is |
|
|
392 | responsible for decoding the value. If no entry exists, it returns no |
|
|
393 | values. C<CBOR::XS> provides a number of default filter functions already, |
|
|
394 | the the C<%CBOR::XS::FILTER> hash can be freely extended with more. |
|
|
395 | |
|
|
396 | C<CBOR::XS> additionally provides an alternative filter function that is |
|
|
397 | supposed to be safe to use with untrusted data (which the default filter |
|
|
398 | might not), called C<CBOR::XS::safe_filter>, which works the same as |
|
|
399 | the C<default_filter> but uses the C<%CBOR::XS::SAFE_FILTER> variable |
|
|
400 | instead. It is prepopulated with the tag decoding functions that are |
|
|
401 | deemed safe (basically the same as C<%CBOR::XS::FILTER> without all |
|
|
402 | the bignum tags), and can be extended by user code as wlel, although, |
|
|
403 | obviously, one should be very careful about adding decoding functions |
|
|
404 | here, since the expectation is that they are safe to use on untrusted |
|
|
405 | data, after all. |
|
|
406 | |
|
|
407 | Example: decode all tags not handled internally into C<CBOR::XS::Tagged> |
|
|
408 | objects, with no other special handling (useful when working with |
|
|
409 | potentially "unsafe" CBOR data). |
|
|
410 | |
|
|
411 | CBOR::XS->new->filter (sub { })->decode ($cbor_data); |
|
|
412 | |
|
|
413 | Example: provide a global filter for tag 1347375694, converting the value |
|
|
414 | into some string form. |
|
|
415 | |
|
|
416 | $CBOR::XS::FILTER{1347375694} = sub { |
|
|
417 | my ($tag, $value); |
|
|
418 | |
|
|
419 | "tag 1347375694 value $value" |
|
|
420 | }; |
|
|
421 | |
|
|
422 | Example: provide your own filter function that looks up tags in your own |
|
|
423 | hash: |
|
|
424 | |
|
|
425 | my %my_filter = ( |
|
|
426 | 998347484 => sub { |
|
|
427 | my ($tag, $value); |
|
|
428 | |
|
|
429 | "tag 998347484 value $value" |
|
|
430 | }; |
|
|
431 | ); |
|
|
432 | |
|
|
433 | my $coder = CBOR::XS->new->filter (sub { |
|
|
434 | &{ $my_filter{$_[0]} or return } |
|
|
435 | }); |

469 | =head2 INCREMENTAL PARSING |
|
|
470 | |
|
|
471 | In some cases, there is the need for incremental parsing of JSON |
|
|
472 | texts. While this module always has to keep both CBOR text and resulting |
|
|
473 | Perl data structure in memory at one time, it does allow you to parse a |
|
|
474 | CBOR stream incrementally, using a similar to using "decode_prefix" to see |
|
|
475 | if a full CBOR object is available, but is much more efficient. |
|
|
476 | |
|
|
477 | It basically works by parsing as much of a CBOR string as possible - if |
|
|
478 | the CBOR data is not complete yet, the pasrer will remember where it was, |
|
|
479 | to be able to restart when more data has been accumulated. Once enough |
|
|
480 | data is available to either decode a complete CBOR value or raise an |
|
|
481 | error, a real decode will be attempted. |
|
|
482 | |
|
|
483 | A typical use case would be a network protocol that consists of sending |
|
|
484 | and receiving CBOR-encoded messages. The solution that works with CBOR and |
|
|
485 | about anything else is by prepending a length to every CBOR value, so the |
|
|
486 | receiver knows how many octets to read. More compact (and slightly slower) |
|
|
487 | would be to just send CBOR values back-to-back, as C<CBOR::XS> knows where |
|
|
488 | a CBOR value ends, and doesn't need an explicit length. |
|
|
489 | |
|
|
490 | The following methods help with this: |
|
|
491 | |
|
|
492 | =over 4 |
|
|
493 | |
|
|
494 | =item @decoded = $cbor->incr_parse ($buffer) |
|
|
495 | |
|
|
496 | This method attempts to decode exactly one CBOR value from the beginning |
|
|
497 | of the given C<$buffer>. The value is removed from the C<$buffer> on |
|
|
498 | success. When C<$buffer> doesn't contain a complete value yet, it returns |
|
|
499 | nothing. Finally, when the C<$buffer> doesn't start with something |
|
|
500 | that could ever be a valid CBOR value, it raises an exception, just as |
|
|
501 | C<decode> would. In the latter case the decoder state is undefined and |
|
|
502 | must be reset before being able to parse further. |
|
|
503 | |
|
|
504 | This method modifies the C<$buffer> in place. When no CBOR value can be |
|
|
505 | decoded, the decoder stores the current string offset. On the next call, |
|
|
506 | continues decoding at the place where it stopped before. For this to make |
|
|
507 | sense, the C<$buffer> must begin with the same octets as on previous |
|
|
508 | unsuccessful calls. |
|
|
509 | |
|
|
510 | You can call this method in scalar context, in which case it either |
|
|
511 | returns a decoded value or C<undef>. This makes it impossible to |
|
|
512 | distinguish between CBOR null values (which decode to C<undef>) and an |
|
|
513 | unsuccessful decode, which is often acceptable. |
|
|
514 | |
|
|
515 | =item @decoded = $cbor->incr_parse_multiple ($buffer) |
|
|
516 | |
|
|
517 | Same as C<incr_parse>, but attempts to decode as many CBOR values as |
|
|
518 | possible in one go, instead of at most one. Calls to C<incr_parse> and |
|
|
519 | C<incr_parse_multiple> can be interleaved. |
|
|
520 | |
|
|
521 | =item $cbor->incr_reset |
|
|
522 | |
|
|
523 | Resets the incremental decoder. This throws away any saved state, so that |
|
|
524 | subsequent calls to C<incr_parse> or C<incr_parse_multiple> start to parse |
|
|
525 | a new CBOR value from the beginning of the C<$buffer> again. |
|
|
526 | |
|
|
527 | This method can be called at any time, but it I<must> be called if you want |
|
|
528 | to change your C<$buffer> or there was a decoding error and you want to |
|
|
529 | reuse the C<$cbor> object for future incremental parsings. |

|
733 | =item CBOR::XS::as_bytes $value |
|
|
734 | |
|
|
735 | Forces the value to be encoded as a (binary) string value. |
|
|
736 | |
|
|
737 | Example: encode a perl string as binary even though C<text_strings> is in |
|
|
738 | effect. |

|
|
742 | =item CBOR::XS::as_bool $value |
|
|
743 | |
|
|
744 | Converts a Perl boolean (which can be any kind of scalar) into a CBOR |
|
|
745 | boolean. Strictly the same, but shorter to write, than: |
|
|

|
|
750 | |

|
|
752 | |
|
|
753 | =item CBOR::XS::as_float32 $value |
|
|
754 | |
|
|
755 | Forces single-float (IEEE 754 binary32) encoding of the given value. |
|
|
756 | |
|
|
757 | =item CBOR::XS::as_float64 $value |
|
|
758 | |
|
|
759 | Forces double-float (IEEE 754 binary64) encoding of the given value. |
|
|
760 | |
|
|
761 | =item CBOR::XS::as_cbor $cbor_text |
|
|
762 | |
|
|
763 | Not a type cast per-se, this type cast forces the argument to be encoded |
|
|
764 | as-is. This can be used to embed pre-encoded CBOR data. |
|
|
765 | |
|
|
766 | Note that no checking on the validity of the C<$cbor_text> is done - it's |
|
|
767 | the callers responsibility to correctly encode values. |
|
|
768 | |
|
|
769 | =item CBOR::XS::as_map [key => value...] |
|
|
770 | |
|
|
771 | Treat the array reference as key value pairs and output a CBOR map. This |
|
|
772 | allows you to generate CBOR maps with arbitrary key types (or, if you |
|
|
773 | don't care about semantics, duplicate keys or pairs in a custom order), |
|
|
774 | which is otherwise hard to do with Perl. |
|
|
775 | |
|
|
776 | The single argument must be an array reference with an even number of |
|
|
777 | elements. |
|
|
778 | |
|
|
779 | Note that only the reference to the array is copied, the array itself is |
|
|
780 | not. Modifications done to the array before calling an encoding function |
|
|
781 | will be reflected in the encoded output. |
|
|
782 | |
|
|
783 | Example: encode a CBOR map with a string and an integer as keys. |
|
|
784 | |
|
|

1021 | =head1 TAG HANDLING AND EXTENSIONS |
|
|
1022 | |
|
|
1023 | This section describes how this module handles specific tagged values |
|
|
1024 | and extensions. If a tag is not mentioned here and no additional filters |
|
|
1025 | are provided for it, then the default handling applies (creating a |
|
|
1026 | CBOR::XS::Tagged object on decoding, and only encoding the tag when |
|
|
1027 | explicitly requested). |
|
|
1028 | |
|
|
1029 | Tags not handled specifically are currently converted into a |
|
|
1030 | L<CBOR::XS::Tagged> object, which is simply a blessed array reference |
|
|
1031 | consisting of the numeric tag value followed by the (decoded) CBOR value. |
|
|
1032 | |
|
|
1033 | Future versions of this module reserve the right to special case |
|
|
1034 | additional tags (such as base64url). |
|
|
1035 | |
|
|
1036 | =head2 ENFORCED TAGS |
|
|
1037 | |
|
|
1038 | These tags are always handled when decoding, and their handling cannot be |
|
|
1039 | overridden by the user. |

1043 | =item 26 (perl-object, L<http://cbor.schmorp.de/perl-object>) |
|
|
1044 | |
|
|
1045 | These tags are automatically created (and decoded) for serialisable |
|
|
1046 | objects using the C<FREEZE/THAW> methods (the L<Types::Serialier> object |
|
|
1047 | serialisation protocol). See L<OBJECT SERIALISATION> for details. |
|
|
1048 | |
|
|
1049 | =item 28, 29 (shareable, sharedref, L<http://cbor.schmorp.de/value-sharing>) |
|
|
1050 | |
|
|
1051 | These tags are automatically decoded when encountered (and they do not |
|
|
1052 | result in a cyclic data structure, see C<allow_cycles>), resulting in |
|
|
1053 | shared values in the decoded object. They are only encoded, however, when |
|
|
1054 | C<allow_sharing> is enabled. |
|
|
1055 | |
|
|
1056 | Not all shared values can be successfully decoded: values that reference |
|
|
1057 | themselves will I<currently> decode as C<undef> (this is not the same |
|
|
1058 | as a reference pointing to itself, which will be represented as a value |
|
|
1059 | that contains an indirect reference to itself - these will be decoded |
|
|
1060 | properly). |
|
|
1061 | |
|
|
1062 | Note that considerably more shared value data structures can be decoded |
|
|
1063 | than will be encoded - currently, only values pointed to by references |
|
|
1064 | will be shared, others will not. While non-reference shared values can be |
|
|
1065 | generated in Perl with some effort, they were considered too unimportant |
|
|
1066 | to be supported in the encoder. The decoder, however, will decode these |
|
|
1067 | values as shared values. |

|
|
1069 | =item 256, 25 (stringref-namespace, stringref, L<http://cbor.schmorp.de/stringref>) |

|
|
1074 | =item 22098 (indirection, L<http://cbor.schmorp.de/indirection>) |
|
|
1075 | |
|
|
1076 | This tag is automatically generated when a reference are encountered (with |
|
|
1077 | the exception of hash and array references). It is converted to a reference |
|
|
1078 | when decoding. |
|
|

|
|
1080 | =item 55799 (self-describe CBOR, RFC 7049) |
|
|
1081 | |

1082 | This value is not generated on encoding (unless explicitly requested by |
|
|
1083 | the user), and is simply ignored when decoding. |

|
|
1087 | =head2 NON-ENFORCED TAGS |
|
|
1088 | |
|
|
1089 | These tags have default filters provided when decoding. Their handling can |
|
|
1090 | be overridden by changing the C<%CBOR::XS::FILTER> entry for the tag, or by |
|
|
1091 | providing a custom C<filter> callback when decoding. |
|
|
1092 | |
|
|
1093 | When they result in decoding into a specific Perl class, the module |
|
|
1094 | usually provides a corresponding C<TO_CBOR> method as well. |
|
|
1095 | |
|
|
1096 | When any of these need to load additional modules that are not part of the |
|
|
1097 | perl core distribution (e.g. L<URI>), it is (currently) up to the user to |
|
|
1098 | provide these modules. The decoding usually fails with an exception if the |
|
|
1099 | required module cannot be loaded. |

1105 | These tags are decoded into L<Time::Piece> objects. The corresponding |
|
|
1106 | C<Time::Piece::TO_CBOR> method always encodes into tag 1 values currently. |
|
|
1107 | |
|

1108 | The L<Time::Piece> API is generally surprisingly bad, and fractional |

|
|
1121 | objects. The corresponding C<Math::BigFloat::TO_CBOR> method I<always> |
|

1169 | Tl;dr... if you want to decode or encode CBOR from untrusted sources, you |
575 | hostile creatures requires relatively few measures. |
1170 | should start with a coder object created via C<new_safe> (which implements |
|
|
1171 | the mitigations explained below): |
576 | |
1172 | |
|
|
1173 | my $coder = CBOR::XS->new_safe; |
|
|
1174 | |
|
|
1175 | my $data = $coder->decode ($cbor_text); |
|
|
1176 | my $cbor = $coder->encode ($data); |
|
|
1177 | |
|
|
1178 | Longer version: When you are using CBOR in a protocol, talking to |
|
|
1179 | untrusted potentially hostile creatures requires some thought: |

1183 | =item Security of the CBOR decoder itself |
|
|
1184 | |
577 | First of all, your CBOR decoder should be secure, that is, should not have |
1185 | First and foremost, your CBOR decoder should be secure, that is, should |
|
|
1186 | not have any buffer overflows or similar bugs that could potentially be |
578 | any buffer overflows. Obviously, this module should ensure that and I am |
1187 | exploited. Obviously, this module should ensure that and I am trying hard |
579 | trying hard on making that true, but you never know. |
1188 | on making that true, but you never know. |
580 | |
1189 | |
|
|
1190 | =item CBOR::XS can invoke almost arbitrary callbacks during decoding |
|
|
1191 | |
|
|
1192 | CBOR::XS supports object serialisation - decoding CBOR can cause calls |
|
|
1193 | to I<any> C<THAW> method in I<any> package that exists in your process |
|
|
1194 | (that is, CBOR::XS will not try to load modules, but any existing C<THAW> |
|
|
1195 | method or function can be called, so they all have to be secure). |
|
|
1196 | |
|
|
1197 | Less obviously, it will also invoke C<TO_CBOR> and C<FREEZE> methods - |
|
|
1198 | even if all your C<THAW> methods are secure, encoding data structures from |
|
|
1199 | untrusted sources can invoke those and trigger bugs in those. |
|
|
1200 | |
|
|
1201 | So, if you are not sure about the security of all the modules you |
|
|
1202 | have loaded (you shouldn't), you should disable this part using |
|
|
1203 | C<forbid_objects> or using C<new_safe>. |
|
|
1204 | |
|
|
1205 | =item CBOR can be extended with tags that call library code |
|
|
1206 | |
|
|
1207 | CBOR can be extended with tags, and C<CBOR::XS> has a registry of |
|
|
1208 | conversion functions for many existing tags that can be extended via |
|
|
1209 | third-party modules (see the C<filter> method). |
|
|
1210 | |
|
|
1211 | If you don't trust these, you should configure the "safe" filter function, |
|
|
1212 | C<CBOR::XS::safe_filter> (C<new_safe> does this), which by default only |
|
|
1213 | includes conversion functions that are considered "safe" by the author |
|
|
1214 | (but again, they can be extended by third party modules). |
|
|
1215 | |
|
|
1216 | Depending on your level of paranoia, you can use the "safe" filter: |
|
|
1217 | |
|
|
1218 | $cbor->filter (\&CBOR::XS::safe_filter); |
|
|
1219 | |
|
|
1220 | ... your own filter... |
|
|
1221 | |
|
|
1222 | $cbor->filter (sub { ... do your stuffs here ... }); |
|
|
1223 | |
|
|
1224 | ... or even no filter at all, disabling all tag decoding: |
|
|
1225 | |
|
|
1226 | $cbor->filter (sub { }); |
|
|
1227 | |
|
|
1228 | This is never a problem for encoding, as the tag mechanism only exists in |
|
|
1229 | CBOR texts. |
|

|
|
1241 | the string. |
589 | |
1242 | |
|
|
1243 | As for encoding, it is possible to construct data structures that are |
|
|
1244 | relatively small but result in large CBOR texts (for example by having an |
|
|
1245 | array full of references to the same big data structure, which will all be |
|
|
1246 | deep-cloned during encoding by default). This is rarely an actual issue |
|
|
1247 | (and the worst case is still just running out of memory), but you can |
|
|
1248 | reduce this risk by using C<allow_sharing>. |

1261 | =item Resource-starving attacks: CPU en-/decoding complexity |
|
|
1262 | |
|
|
1263 | CBOR::XS will use the L<Math::BigInt>, L<Math::BigFloat> and |
|
|
1264 | L<Math::BigRat> libraries to represent encode/decode bignums. These can be |
|
|
1265 | very slow (as in, centuries of CPU time) and can even crash your program |
|
|
1266 | (and are generally not very trustworthy). See the next section on bignum |

|
1271 | CBOR::XS might leak contents of your Perl data structures in its error |

1284 | =head1 BIGNUM SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS |
|
|
1285 | |
|
|
1286 | CBOR::XS provides a C<TO_CBOR> method for both L<Math::BigInt> and |
|
|
1287 | L<Math::BigFloat> that tries to encode the number in the simplest possible |
|
|
1288 | way, that is, either a CBOR integer, a CBOR bigint/decimal fraction (tag |
|
|
1289 | 4) or an arbitrary-exponent decimal fraction (tag 264). Rational numbers |
|
|
1290 | (L<Math::BigRat>, tag 30) can also contain bignums as members. |
|
|
1291 | |
|
|
1292 | CBOR::XS will also understand base-2 bigfloat or arbitrary-exponent |
|
|
1293 | bigfloats (tags 5 and 265), but it will never generate these on its own. |
|
|
1294 | |
|
|
1295 | Using the built-in L<Math::BigInt::Calc> support, encoding and decoding |
|
|
1296 | decimal fractions is generally fast. Decoding bigints can be slow for very |
|
|
1297 | big numbers (tens of thousands of digits, something that could potentially |
|
|
1298 | be caught by limiting the size of CBOR texts), and decoding bigfloats or |
|
|
1299 | arbitrary-exponent bigfloats can be I<extremely> slow (minutes, decades) |
|
|
1300 | for large exponents (roughly 40 bit and longer). |
|
|
1301 | |
|
|
1302 | Additionally, L<Math::BigInt> can take advantage of other bignum |
|
|
1303 | libraries, such as L<Math::GMP>, which cannot handle big floats with large |
|
|
1304 | exponents, and might simply abort or crash your program, due to their code |
|
|
1305 | quality. |
|
|
1306 | |
|
|
1307 | This can be a concern if you want to parse untrusted CBOR. If it is, you |
|
|
1308 | might want to disable decoding of tag 2 (bigint) and 3 (negative bigint) |
|
|
1309 | types. You should also disable types 5 and 265, as these can be slow even |
|
|
1310 | without bigints. |
|
|
1311 | |
|
|
1312 | Disabling bigints will also partially or fully disable types that rely on |
|
|
1313 | them, e.g. rational numbers that use bignums. |
