Hi,

I got the following exception in a JPRT job:
--------------------
javax.crypto.ShortBufferException: Output buffer must be (at least) 2 bytes long
at
com.oracle.security.ucrypto.NativeGCMCipher.engineDoFinal(NativeGCMCipher.java:381)
at javax.crypto.CipherSpi.bufferCrypt(CipherSpi.java:830)
... 19 more
---------

The output buffer is allocated dynamically in CipherSpi.bufferCrypt()
---------
javax.crypto.CipherSpi.bufferCrypt(...):
     ...
     int outLenNeeded = engineGetOutputSize(inLen);
     ...
     byte[] outArray = new byte[getTempArraySize(outLenNeeded)];
     ...
830 n = engineDoFinal(inArray, inOfs, chunk, outArray, 0);
--------

However, the buffer size is not sufficient for the engineDoFinal()
operation.
--------
com.oracle.security.ucrypto.NativeGCMCipher.engineDoFinal(
        byte[] in, int inOfs, int inLen,
        byte[] out, int outOfs)
     ...
     int len = getOutputSizeByOperation(inLen, true);
380 if (out.length - outOfs < len) {
381 throw new ShortBufferException("Output buffer must be "
382 + "(at least) " + len
383 + " bytes long");
384 }
---------

Any ideas about what the unlying problem?

Thanks,
Xuelei

It is probably due to the buffer size calculation. GCM mode has this additional tag data and Ucrypto provider may have to be fine tuned further at certain scenario. I noticed one case of this ShortBufferException when testing external patch regarding an RFE in CipherInput/OutputStream, but has not yet to get the fixes reviewed.

Not sure if it's the same problem since I have not looked at yours. Here is the patch in my workspace that addressed mine.

The patch works!
