avoid fread on directories and unencrypted files

[jknockaert]

Reworking the logic in order to first check the filecache and only then reading the fileheader.
This in order to solve #21578.

@nextcloud/encryption Pls review. Also check the discussion of the issue I posted in #21578. That said, I didn't yet find out why this function is evaluated very often for keyfiles.

Can anyone help with the testing? It is my understanding that in the tests the call to the cache was never evaluated, so I guess that should somewhere be caught now that it comes first.

[jknockaert]

OK, with all checks passed now I think this one is ready for review. As for the getHeader function I'm pretty sure I fully understand the code and I think my implementation is fine; but still then I don't have a full overview of all use cases of this function so I may miss out on a corner case. As for the tests I somehow got it working; not sure though if I fully understand what I did here. I couldn't do any meaningful benchmarking so I can't say much on the impact of the changes introduced. I wouldn't expect it to matter much.

@jknockaert I applied the below fix and im not getting the errors anymore

[RedKage]

I dont know what this is doing, nor am I a nextcloud maintainer.
However I think that IF can be simplified and be made more readable with

 if (!isset($result[Util::HEADER_ENCRYPTION_MODULE_KEY] && (!empty($result) || $exists)) {
$result[Util::HEADER_ENCRYPTION_MODULE_KEY] = 'OC_DEFAULT_MODULE';
}

[jknockaert]

@RedKage Thanks; fixed.

@ChristophWurst Any suggestion who to invite for a review?

[jknockaert]

@nextcloud/encryption Can anyone review? This is a fairly minor patch that fixes errors with php7.4. It would be good to have it included in the next point release of nextcloud.

[moverduinsecov]

Have applied changes manually, and so far everything looks fine.

@icewind1991

I believe that this should be fine, but I haven't looked into the encryption logic for a long time

If the test passes, what's wrong? :-)

[vitormattos]

It seems to be ok, there seems to be no need to create new test scenarios.

Thanks @vitormattos and @icewind1991 for the reviews.

[vitormattos]

It is in the same class but does not seem to be related to this pull request.

Looking at the log quickly, without a thorough analysis, the method changed in this pull request is not in the callstack of the log you posted.

[vitormattos]

I suggest sending a new pull request solving this problem :)

The solution is already described in the log, it is necessary to implement, check the impacts, review the unit tests to ensure they are ok and send the pull request.

[AndyXheli]

I just did! i tagged you in it so maybe we can have someone look at it quicker :)

[vitormattos]

You have opened an issue. Submit the pull request with the solution. The correction is simple, but it is necessary to check the impacts well.

[AndyXheli]

@vitormattos i would not know the solutions i don't code. maybe @jknockaert knows it but i dont

[jknockaert]

@axheli Pls tag me. I may have time to have a look at it over the weekend.
That said, I think the filesystem code is in some need for a more thorough review and possibly rewrite.
