Details

Summary

This amounts to a char ** since it is a char[8] *. Evil casts mostly
resolved the fact that what was actually passed in were plain char *.
Instead, change the DES functions to use 'unsigned char *' for keys
and for input and output buffers.

Test Plan
  • amd64 GENERIC builds, waiting for a tinderbox to finish

Looks sane to me. Thanks for digging to the bottom of this rathole...

Bit sad to be fixing DES in 2019 but unfortunately, this looks correct to me...

sys/crypto/des/des_setkey.c
70–88 ↗(On Diff #61196)

These routines must have been totally broken before?

It would seem so unless code actually invoked them correctly (which is doubtful). I think the kgssapi code was using these but using a bogus cast such that they probably didn't work. Probably would have panicked if you used plain DES with kgssapi it looks like.
