In certain situations, such as when configured in FIPS 140 mode, the Java security provider in use might throw a subclass of java.lang.Error. We currently do not catch these and as a result the JVM exits, shutting down elasticsearch. This commit attempts to address this by catching subclasses of Error that might be thrown for instance when a PBKDF2 implementation is used from a Security Provider in FIPS 140 mode, with the password input being less than 14 bytes (112 bits). - In our PBKDF2 family of hashers, we catch the Error and throw an ElasticsearchException while creating or verifying the hash. We throw on verification instead of simply returning false on purpose so that the message bubbles up and the cause becomes obvious (otherwise it would be indistinguishable from a wrong password). - In KeyStoreWrapper, we catch the Error in order to wrap and re-throw a GeneralSecurityException with a helpful message. This can happen when using any of the keystore CLI commands, when the node starts or when we attempt to reload secure settings. - In the `elasticsearch-users` tool, we catch the ElasticsearchException that the Hasher class re-throws and throw an appropriate UserException. Tests are missing because it's not trivial to set CI in fips approved mode right now, and thus any tests would need to be muted. There is a parallel effort in #64024 to enable that and tests will be added in a followup. |
