[ruby-core:35813] [Ruby 1.9 - Bug #4320] Bus Error in digest/sha2 on sparc

Issue #4320 has been updated by Nils Goroll.


This indeed is an alignment issue, SHA256_Update calls SHA256_Transform with possibly unaligned data, but the latter needs its data argument be aligned on platforms which do not support unaligned word access. The same bug exists for SHA384 and SHA512

I have a fix ready, currently testing it.

here's a failing test case for SHA512, which will also hit for SHA384 (which uses the same code).

 > ruby -e "require 'digest/sha2'; d= Digest::SHA512.new; ['a' * 57, 'b' * 199].each {|i| d.update(i)}; p d"

 Most likely this is caused due to misaligned memory. Any comment is greatly appreciated.
 
 This bug can reproduce at Ruby 1.8, too.
