DESCRIPTION OpenSSL memory allocation is handled by the OPENSSL_xxx API. These are generally macro's that add the standard C __FILE__ and __LINE__ parameters and call a lower-level CRYPTO_xxx API. Some functions do not add those parameters, but exist for consistency.
OPENSSL_malloc_init() does nothing and does not need to be called. It is included for compatibility with older versions of OpenSSL.
OPENSSL_malloc(), OPENSSL_realloc(), and OPENSSL_free() are like the C malloc(), realloc(), and free() functions. OPENSSL_zalloc() calls memset() to zero the memory before returning.
OPENSSL_clear_realloc() and OPENSSL_clear_free() should be used when the buffer at addr holds sensitive information. The old buffer is filled with zero's by calling OPENSSL_cleanse() before ultimately calling OPENSSL_free().
OPENSSL_cleanse() fills ptr of size len with a string of 0's. Use OPENSSL_cleanse() with care if the memory is a mapping of a file. If the storage controller uses write compression, then it's possible that sensitive tail bytes will survive zeroization because the block of zeros will be compressed. If the storage controller uses wear leveling, then the old sensitive data will not be overwritten; rather, a block of 0's will be written at a new physical location.
OPENSSL_strdup(), OPENSSL_strndup() and OPENSSL_memdup() are like the equivalent C functions, except that memory is allocated by calling the OPENSSL_malloc() and should be released by calling OPENSSL_free().
OPENSSL_strlcpy(), OPENSSL_strlcat() and OPENSSL_strnlen() are equivalents of the common C library functions and are provided for portability.
If no allocations have been done, it is possible to "swap out" the default implementations for OPENSSL_malloc(), OPENSSL_realloc() and OPENSSL_free() and replace them with alternate versions. CRYPTO_get_mem_functions() function fills in the given arguments with the function pointers for the current implementations. With CRYPTO_set_mem_functions(), you can specify a different set of functions. If any of malloc_fn, realloc_fn, or free_fn are NULL, then the function is not changed. While it's permitted to swap out only a few and not all the functions with CRYPTO_set_mem_functions(), it's recommended to swap them all out at once.
If the library is built with the "crypto-mdebug" option, then one function, CRYPTO_get_alloc_counts(), and two additional environment not stored.
The variable OPENSSL_MALLOC_FAILURES controls how often allocations should fail. It is a set of fields separated by semicolons, which each field is a count (defaulting to zero) and an optional atsign and percentage (defaulting to 100). If the count is zero, then it lasts forever. For example, "100;@25" or "100@0;0@25" means the first 100 allocations pass, then all other allocations (until the program exits or crashes) have a 25% chance of failing.
If the variable OPENSSL_MALLOC_FD is parsed as a positive integer, then it is taken as an open file descriptor. This is used in conjunction with OPENSSL_MALLOC_FAILURES described above. For every allocation it will log details about how many allocations there have been so far, what percentage chance there is for this allocation failing, and whether it has actually failed. The following example in classic shell syntax shows how to use this (will not work on all platforms):
OPENSSL_MALLOC_FAILURES='200;@10' export OPENSSL_MALLOC_FAILURES OPENSSL_MALLOC_FD=3 export OPENSSL_MALLOC_FD ...app invocation... 3>/tmp/log$$
RETURN VALUES OPENSSL_malloc_init(), OPENSSL_free(), OPENSSL_clear_free() CRYPTO_free(), CRYPTO_clear_free() and CRYPTO_get_mem_functions() return no value.
OPENSSL_malloc(), OPENSSL_zalloc(), OPENSSL_realloc(), OPENSSL_clear_realloc(), CRYPTO_malloc(), CRYPTO_zalloc(), CRYPTO_realloc(), CRYPTO_clear_realloc(), OPENSSL_strdup(), and OPENSSL_strndup() return a pointer to allocated memory or NULL on error.
CRYPTO_set_mem_functions() returns 1 on success or 0 on failure (almost always because allocations have already happened).
CRYPTO_mem_leaks(), CRYPTO_mem_leaks_fp(), CRYPTO_mem_leaks_cb(), CRYPTO_set_mem_debug(), and CRYPTO_mem_ctrl() are deprecated and are no-ops that always return -1. OPENSSL_mem_debug_push(), OPENSSL_mem_debug_pop(), CRYPTO_mem_debug_push(), and CRYPTO_mem_debug_pop() are deprecated and are no-ops that always return 0.
HISTORY OPENSSL_mem_debug_push(), OPENSSL_mem_debug_pop(), CRYPTO_mem_debug_push(), CRYPTO_mem_debug_pop(), CRYPTO_mem_leaks(), CRYPTO_mem_leaks_fp(), CRYPTO_mem_leaks_cb(), CRYPTO_set_mem_debug(), CRYPTO_mem_ctrl() were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0. The memory-leak checking has been deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0 in favor of clang's memory and leak sanitizer.
