Seg Fault in libcrypto.so.1.0.0

[minorsecond]

I apologize if this issue is with SQLCipher or Openssl vs. pysqlcipher...

When attempting to query a table, libcrypto.so.1.0.0 segfaults. Stacktace is here. I haven't really been able to find any info as to what's causing this issue but it looks like something malformed may be being passed to EVP_CIPHER_key_length ().

interesting, maybe some kind of validation might be in order.
do you have a minimal example able to reproduce this?

I've got a gist I put up when asking someone else. I can create a DB and post it if necessary. Note that when running with encryption enabled, the code creates a plaintext DB (can hexdump and read columns) with no row entries.

Pysqlcipher seems to work when runnitng it without sqlalchemy, so I believe sqlalchemy is doing something with the key that pysqlcipher doesn't like. Do you know of any formatting or type issues that could throw an error?

Hmm it seems that what's producing the segfault is setting the cipher pragma. If you don't set cipher using sqlalchemy it doesn't segfault.

This snippet reproduces the crash:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from pysqlcipher import dbapi2 as sqlite
conn = sqlite.connect('test.db')
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute("PRAGMA key='test'")

print "Setting cipher pragma"
c.execute("PRAGMA cipher='breakme'")

It looks like EVP_CIPHER_key_length () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 is indeed receiving malformed input.
I'd try to recreate the segfault using libsqlcipher and ping upstream sqlcipher devs.
