>Description:
The function has bug in CBC mode encryption
int rijndael_blockEncrypt(cipherInstance *cipher, keyInstance *key,
		BYTE *input, int inputLen, BYTE *outBuffer) {

Original code

		for (i = numBlocks - 1; i > 0; i--) {
#if 1 /*STRICT_ALIGN*/
			AF_BCOPY(outBuffer, block, 16);
========>
			((word32*)block)[0] ^= ((word32*)iv)[0];
			((word32*)block)[1] ^= ((word32*)iv)[1];
			((word32*)block)[2] ^= ((word32*)iv)[2];
			((word32*)block)[3] ^= ((word32*)iv)[3];
#else
			((word32*)block)[0] = ((word32*)outBuffer)[0] ^ ((word32*)input)[0];
			((word32*)block)[1] = ((word32*)outBuffer)[1] ^ ((word32*)input)[1];
			((word32*)block)[2] = ((word32*)outBuffer)[2] ^ ((word32*)input)[2];
			((word32*)block)[3] = ((word32*)outBuffer)[3] ^ ((word32*)input)[3];
#endif
			outBuffer += 16;
			rijndaelEncrypt(block, outBuffer, key->keySched, key->ROUNDS);
			input += 16;
		}

This keeps using the same iv. As a result, the initial block is encrypted multiple times. input should be copied over iv inside the for loop.

Code with Fix

		for (i = numBlocks - 1; i > 0; i--) {
#if 1 /*STRICT_ALIGN*/
			AF_BCOPY(outBuffer, block, 16);
/*needs this =======>*/	AF_BCOPY(input, iv, 16); /* Added by Rajesh */
			((word32*)block)[0] ^= ((word32*)iv)[0];
			((word32*)block)[1] ^= ((word32*)iv)[1];
			((word32*)block)[2] ^= ((word32*)iv)[2];
			((word32*)block)[3] ^= ((word32*)iv)[3];
#else
			((word32*)block)[0] = ((word32*)outBuffer)[0] ^ ((word32*)input)[0];
			((word32*)block)[1] = ((word32*)outBuffer)[1] ^ ((word32*)input)[1];
			((word32*)block)[2] = ((word32*)outBuffer)[2] ^ ((word32*)input)[2];
			((word32*)block)[3] = ((word32*)outBuffer)[3] ^ ((word32*)input)[3];
#endif
			outBuffer += 16;
			rijndaelEncrypt(block, outBuffer, key->keySched, key->ROUNDS);
			input += 16;
		}
