- Mbed TLS ChangeLog (Sorted per branch, date)
- = Mbed TLS 3.6.1 branch released 2024-08-30
- API changes
- * The experimental functions psa_generate_key_ext() and
- psa_key_derivation_output_key_ext() are no longer declared when compiling
- in C++. This resolves a build failure under C++ compilers that do not
- support flexible array members (a C99 feature not adopted by C++).
- Fixes #9020.
- Default behavior changes
- * In a PSA-client-only build (i.e. MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CLIENT &&
- !MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C), do not automatically enable local crypto when the
- corresponding PSA mechanism is enabled, since the server provides the
- crypto. Fixes #9126.
- * A TLS handshake may now call psa_crypto_init() if TLS 1.3 is enabled.
- This can happen even if TLS 1.3 is offered but eventually not selected
- in the protocol version negotiation.
- * By default, the handling of TLS 1.3 tickets by the Mbed TLS client is now
- disabled at runtime. Applications that were using TLS 1.3 tickets
- signalled by MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_RECEIVED_NEW_SESSION_TICKET return values now
- need to enable the handling of TLS 1.3 tickets through the new
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_tls13_enable_signal_new_session_tickets() API.
- New deprecations
- * The experimental functions psa_generate_key_ext() and
- psa_key_derivation_output_key_ext() are deprecated in favor of
- psa_generate_key_custom() and psa_key_derivation_output_key_custom().
- They have almost exactly the same interface, but the variable-length
- data is passed in a separate parameter instead of a flexible array
- member.
- * The following cryptographic mechanisms are planned to be removed
- in Mbed TLS 4.0:
- - DES (including 3DES).
- - PKCS#1v1.5 encryption/decryption (RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5).
- (OAEP, PSS, and PKCS#1v1.5 signature are staying.)
- - Finite-field Diffie-Hellman with custom groups.
- (RFC 7919 groups remain supported.)
- - Elliptic curves of size 225 bits or less.
- * The following cipher suites are planned to be removed from (D)TLS 1.2
- in Mbed TLS 4.0:
- - TLS_RSA_* (including TLS_RSA_PSK_*), i.e. cipher suites using
- RSA decryption.
- (RSA signatures, i.e. TLS_ECDHE_RSA_*, are staying.)
- - TLS_ECDH_*, i.e. cipher suites using static ECDH.
- (Ephemeral ECDH, i.e. TLS_ECDHE_*, is staying.)
- - TLS_DHE_*, i.e. cipher suites using finite-field Diffie-Hellman.
- (Ephemeral ECDH, i.e. TLS_ECDHE_*, is staying.)
- - TLS_*CBC*, i.e. all cipher suites using CBC.
- * The following low-level application interfaces are planned to be removed
- from the public API in Mbed TLS 4.0:
- - Hashes: hkdf.h, md5.h, ripemd160.h, sha1.h, sha3.h, sha256.h, sha512.h;
- - Random generation: ctr_drbg.h, hmac_drbg.h, entropy.h;
- - Ciphers and modes: aes.h, aria.h, camellia.h, chacha20.h, chachapoly.h,
- cipher.h, cmac.h, gcm.h, poly1305.h;
- - Private key encryption mechanisms: pkcs5.h, pkcs12.h.
- - Asymmetric cryptography: bignum.h, dhm.h, ecdh.h, ecdsa.h, ecjpake.h,
- ecp.h, rsa.h.
- The cryptographic mechanisms remain present, but they will only be
- accessible via the PSA API (psa_xxx functions introduced gradually
- starting with Mbed TLS 2.17) and, where relevant, `pk.h`.
- For guidance on migrating application code to the PSA API, please consult
- the PSA transition guide (docs/psa-transition.md).
- * The following integration interfaces are planned to be removed
- in Mbed TLS 4.0:
- - MBEDTLS_xxx_ALT replacement of cryptographic modules and functions.
- Use PSA transparent drivers instead.
- - MBEDTLS_PK_RSA_ALT and MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C.
- Use PSA opaque drivers instead.
- Features
- * When the new compilation option MBEDTLS_PSA_KEY_STORE_DYNAMIC is enabled,
- the number of volatile PSA keys is virtually unlimited, at the expense
- of increased code size. This option is off by default, but enabled in
- the default mbedtls_config.h. Fixes #9216.
- Security
- * Unlike previously documented, enabling MBEDTLS_PSA_HMAC_DRBG_MD_TYPE does
- not cause the PSA subsystem to use HMAC_DRBG: it uses HMAC_DRBG only when
- MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG and MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_C are disabled.
- CVE-2024-45157
- * Fix a stack buffer overflow in mbedtls_ecdsa_der_to_raw() and
- mbedtls_ecdsa_raw_to_der() when the bits parameter is larger than the
- largest supported curve. In some configurations with PSA disabled,
- all values of bits are affected. This never happens in internal library
- calls, but can affect applications that call these functions directly.
- CVE-2024-45158
- * With TLS 1.3, when a server enables optional authentication of the
- client, if the client-provided certificate does not have appropriate values
- in keyUsage or extKeyUsage extensions, then the return value of
- mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result() would incorrectly have the
- MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_KEY_USAGE and MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_EXT_KEY_USAGE bits
- clear. As a result, an attacker that had a certificate valid for uses other
- than TLS client authentication could be able to use it for TLS client
- authentication anyway. Only TLS 1.3 servers were affected, and only with
- optional authentication (required would abort the handshake with a fatal
- alert).
- CVE-2024-45159
- Bugfix
- * Fix TLS 1.3 client build and runtime when support for session tickets is
- disabled (MBEDTLS_SSL_SESSION_TICKETS configuration option). Fixes #6395.
- * Fix compilation error when memcpy() is a function-like macros. Fixes #8994.
- * MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C and MBEDTLS_ASN1_WRITE_C are now automatically enabled
- as soon as MBEDTLS_RSA_C is enabled. Fixes #9041.
- * Fix undefined behaviour (incrementing a NULL pointer by zero length) when
- passing in zero length additional data to multipart AEAD.
- * Fix rare concurrent access bug where attempting to operate on a
- non-existent key while concurrently creating a new key could potentially
- corrupt the key store.
- * Fix error handling when creating a key in a dynamic secure element
- (feature enabled by MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C). In a low memory condition,
- the creation could return PSA_SUCCESS but using or destroying the key
- would not work. Fixes #8537.
- * Fix issue of redefinition warning messages for _GNU_SOURCE in
- entropy_poll.c and sha_256.c. There was a build warning during
- building for linux platform.
- Resolves #9026
- * Fix a compilation warning in pk.c when PSA is enabled and RSA is disabled.
- * Fix the build when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is enabled and the built-in
- CMAC is enabled, but no built-in unauthenticated cipher is enabled.
- Fixes #9209.
- * Fix redefinition warnings when SECP192R1 and/or SECP192K1 are disabled.
- Fixes #9029.
- * Fix psa_cipher_decrypt() with CCM* rejecting messages less than 3 bytes
- long. Credit to Cryptofuzz. Fixes #9314.
- * Fix interference between PSA volatile keys and built-in keys
- when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_BUILTIN_KEYS is enabled and
- MBEDTLS_PSA_KEY_SLOT_COUNT is more than 4096.
- * Document and enforce the limitation of mbedtls_psa_register_se_key()
- to persistent keys. Resolves #9253.
- * Fix Clang compilation error when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled
- but MBEDTLS_DHM_C is disabled. Reported by Michael Schuster in #9188.
- * Fix server mode only build when MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_C is enabled but
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CLI_C is disabled. Reported by M-Bab on GitHub in #9186.
- * When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C was disabled and MBEDTLS_ECDSA_C enabled,
- some code was defining 0-size arrays, resulting in compilation errors.
- Fixed by disabling the offending code in configurations without PSA
- Crypto, where it never worked. Fixes #9311.
- * Fix unintended performance regression when using short RSA public keys.
- Fixes #9232.
- * Fixes an issue where some TLS 1.2 clients could not connect to an
- Mbed TLS 3.6.0 server, due to incorrect handling of
- legacy_compression_methods in the ClientHello.
- Fixes #8995, #9243.
- * Fix TLS connections failing when the handshake selects TLS 1.3
- in an application that does not call psa_crypto_init().
- Fixes #9072.
- * Fix TLS connection failure in applications using an Mbed TLS client in
- the default configuration connecting to a TLS 1.3 server sending tickets.
- See the documentation of
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_tls13_enable_signal_new_session_tickets() for more
- information.
- Fixes #8749.
- * Fix a memory leak that could occur when failing to process an RSA
- key through some PSA functions due to low memory conditions.
- * Fixed a regression introduced in 3.6.0 where the CA callback set with
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_ca_cb() would stop working when connections were
- upgraded to TLS 1.3. Fixed by adding support for the CA callback with TLS
- 1.3.
- * Fixed a regression introduced in 3.6.0 where clients that relied on
- optional/none authentication mode, by calling mbedtls_ssl_conf_authmode()
- with MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL or MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_NONE, would stop
- working when connections were upgraded to TLS 1.3. Fixed by adding
- support for optional/none with TLS 1.3 as well. Note that the TLS 1.3
- standard makes server authentication mandatory; users are advised not to
- use authmode none, and to carefully check the results when using optional
- mode.
- * Fixed a regression introduced in 3.6.0 where context-specific certificate
- verify callbacks, set with mbedtls_ssl_set_verify() as opposed to
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_verify(), would stop working when connections were
- upgraded to TLS 1.3. Fixed by adding support for context-specific verify
- callback in TLS 1.3.
- Changes
- * Warn if mbedtls/check_config.h is included manually, as this can
- lead to spurious errors. Error if a *adjust*.h header is included
- manually, as this can lead to silently inconsistent configurations,
- potentially resulting in buffer overflows.
- When migrating from Mbed TLS 2.x, if you had a custom config.h that
- included check_config.h, remove this inclusion from the Mbed TLS 3.x
- configuration file (renamed to mbedtls_config.h). This change was made
- in Mbed TLS 3.0, but was not announced in a changelog entry at the time.
- = Mbed TLS 3.6.0 branch released 2024-03-28
- API changes
- * Remove `tls13_` in mbedtls_ssl_tls13_conf_early_data() and
- mbedtls_ssl_tls13_conf_max_early_data_size() API names. Early data
- feature may not be TLS 1.3 specific in the future. Fixes #6909.
- Default behavior changes
- * psa_import_key() now only accepts RSA keys in the PSA standard formats.
- The undocumented ability to import other formats (PKCS#8, SubjectPublicKey,
- PEM) accepted by the pkparse module has been removed. Applications that
- need these formats can call mbedtls_pk_parse_{public,}key() followed by
- mbedtls_pk_import_into_psa().
- Requirement changes
- * Drop support for Visual Studio 2013 and 2015, and Arm Compiler 5.
- New deprecations
- * Rename the MBEDTLS_SHA256_USE_A64_CRYPTO_xxx config options to
- MBEDTLS_SHA256_USE_ARMV8_A_CRYPTO_xxx. The old names may still
- be used, but are deprecated.
- * In the PSA API, domain parameters are no longer used for anything.
- They are deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the
- library.
- * mbedtls_ecp_write_key() is deprecated in favor of
- mbedtls_ecp_write_key_ext().
- Removals
- * In the PSA API, the experimental way to encode the public exponent of
- an RSA key as a domain parameter is no longer supported. Use
- psa_generate_key_ext() instead.
- * Temporary function mbedtls_pk_wrap_as_opaque() is removed. To mimic the
- same behavior mbedtls_pk_get_psa_attributes() and
- mbedtls_pk_import_into_psa() can be used to import a PK key into PSA,
- while mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque() can be used to wrap a PSA key into a opaque
- PK context.
- Features
- * Added an example program showing how to hash with the PSA API.
- * Support Armv8-A Crypto Extension acceleration for SHA-256
- when compiling for Thumb (T32) or 32-bit Arm (A32).
- * AES-NI is now supported in Windows builds with clang and clang-cl.
- Resolves #8372.
- * Add new mbedtls_x509_csr_parse_der_with_ext_cb() routine which allows
- parsing unsupported certificate extensions via user provided callback.
- * Enable the new option MBEDTLS_BLOCK_CIPHER_NO_DECRYPT to omit
- the decryption direction of block ciphers (AES, ARIA, Camellia).
- This affects both the low-level modules and the high-level APIs
- (the cipher and PSA interfaces). This option is incompatible with modes
- that use the decryption direction (ECB in PSA, CBC, XTS, KW) and with DES.
- * Support use of Armv8-A Cryptographic Extensions for hardware acclerated
- AES when compiling for Thumb (T32) or 32-bit Arm (A32).
- * If a cipher or AEAD mechanism has a PSA driver, you can now build the
- library without the corresponding built-in implementation. Generally
- speaking that requires both the key type and algorithm to be accelerated
- or they'll both be built in. However, for CCM and GCM the built-in
- implementation is able to take advantage of a driver that only
- accelerates the key type (that is, the block cipher primitive). See
- docs/driver-only-builds.md for full details and current limitations.
- * The CTR_DRBG module will now use AES from a PSA driver if MBEDTLS_AES_C is
- disabled. This requires PSA_WANT_ALG_ECB_NO_PADDING in addition to
- MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C and PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_AES.
- * Fewer modules depend on MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C, making it possible to save code
- size by disabling it in more circumstances. In particular, the CCM and
- GCM modules no longer depend on MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C. Also,
- MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO can now be enabled without MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C if all
- unauthenticated (non-AEAD) ciphers are disabled, or if they're all
- fully provided by drivers. See docs/driver-only-builds.md for full
- details and current limitations; in particular, NIST_KW and PKCS5/PKCS12
- decryption still unconditionally depend on MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C.
- * Add support for record size limit extension as defined by RFC 8449
- and configured with MBEDTLS_SSL_RECORD_SIZE_LIMIT.
- Application data sent and received will be fragmented according to
- Record size limits negotiated during handshake.
- * Improve performance of AES-GCM, AES-CTR and CTR-DRBG when
- hardware accelerated AES is not present (around 13-23% on 64-bit Arm).
- * Add functions mbedtls_ecc_group_to_psa() and mbedtls_ecc_group_from_psa()
- to convert between Mbed TLS and PSA curve identifiers.
- * Add utility functions to manipulate mbedtls_ecp_keypair objects, filling
- gaps made by making its fields private: mbedtls_ecp_set_public_key(),
- mbedtls_ecp_write_public_key(), mbedtls_ecp_keypair_calc_public(),
- mbedtls_ecp_keypair_get_group_id(). Fixes #5017, #5441, #8367, #8652.
- * Add functions mbedtls_md_psa_alg_from_type() and
- mbedtls_md_type_from_psa_alg() to convert between mbedtls_md_type_t and
- psa_algorithm_t.
- * Add partial platform support for z/OS.
- * Improve performance for gcc (versions older than 9.3.0) and IAR.
- * Add functions mbedtls_ecdsa_raw_to_der() and mbedtls_ecdsa_der_to_raw() to
- convert ECDSA signatures between raw and DER (ASN.1) formats.
- * Add support for using AES-CBC 128, 192, and 256 bit schemes
- with PKCS#5 PBES2. Keys encrypted this way can now be parsed by PK parse.
- * The new function mbedtls_rsa_get_bitlen() returns the length of the modulus
- in bits, i.e. the key size for an RSA key.
- * Add pc files for pkg-config, e.g.:
- pkg-config --cflags --libs (mbedtls|mbedcrypto|mbedx509)
- * Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_session_get_ticket_creation_time()) to access
- `mbedtls_ssl_session.ticket_creation_time`.
- * The new functions mbedtls_pk_get_psa_attributes() and
- mbedtls_pk_import_into_psa() provide a uniform way to create a PSA
- key from a PK key.
- * The benchmark program now reports times for both ephemeral and static
- ECDH in all ECDH configurations.
- * Add support for 8-bit GCM tables for Shoup's algorithm to speedup GCM
- operations when hardware accelerated AES is not present. Improves
- performance by around 30% on 64-bit Intel; 125% on Armv7-M.
- * The new function psa_generate_key_ext() allows generating an RSA
- key pair with a custom public exponent.
- * The new function mbedtls_ecp_write_key_ext() is similar to
- mbedtls_ecp_write_key(), but can be used without separately calculating
- the output length.
- * Add new accessor to expose the private group id member of
- `mbedtls_ecdh_context` structure.
- * Add new accessor to expose the `MBEDTLS_PRIVATE(ca_istrue)` member of
- `mbedtls_x509_crt` structure. This requires setting
- the MBEDTLS_X509_EXT_BASIC_CONSTRAINTS bit in the certificate's
- ext_types field.
- * mbedtls_psa_get_random() is always available as soon as
- MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CLIENT is enabled at build time and psa_crypto_init() is
- called at runtime. This together with MBEDTLS_PSA_RANDOM_STATE can be
- used as random number generator function (f_rng) and context (p_rng) in
- legacy functions.
- * The new functions mbedtls_pk_copy_from_psa() and
- mbedtls_pk_copy_public_from_psa() provide ways to set up a PK context
- with the same content as a PSA key.
- * Add new accessors to expose the private session-id,
- session-id length, and ciphersuite-id members of
- `mbedtls_ssl_session` structure.
- Add new accessor to expose the ciphersuite-id of
- `mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_t` structure.Design ref: #8529
- * Mbed TLS now supports the writing and reading of TLS 1.3 early data (see
- docs/tls13-early-data.md). The support enablement is controlled at build
- time by the MBEDTLS_SSL_EARLY_DATA configuration option and at runtime by
- the mbedtls_ssl_conf_early_data() API (by default disabled in both cases).
- * Add protection for multithreaded access to the PSA keystore and protection
- for multithreaded access to the the PSA global state, including
- concurrently calling psa_crypto_init() when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C and
- MBEDTLS_THREADING_PTHREAD are defined. See
- docs/architecture/psa-thread-safety/psa-thread-safety.md for more details.
- Resolves issues #3263 and #7945.
- Security
- * Fix a stack buffer overread (less than 256 bytes) when parsing a TLS 1.3
- ClientHello in a TLS 1.3 server supporting some PSK key exchange mode. A
- malicious client could cause information disclosure or a denial of service.
- Fixes CVE-2024-30166.
- * Passing buffers that are stored in untrusted memory as arguments
- to PSA functions is now secure by default.
- The PSA core now protects against modification of inputs or exposure
- of intermediate outputs during operations. This is currently implemented
- by copying buffers.
- This feature increases code size and memory usage. If buffers passed to
- PSA functions are owned exclusively by the PSA core for the duration of
- the function call (i.e. no buffer parameters are in shared memory),
- copying may be disabled by setting MBEDTLS_PSA_ASSUME_EXCLUSIVE_BUFFERS.
- Note that setting this option will cause input-output buffer overlap to
- be only partially supported (#3266).
- Fixes CVE-2024-28960.
- * Restore the maximum TLS version to be negotiated to the configured one
- when an SSL context is reset with the mbedtls_ssl_session_reset() API.
- An attacker was able to prevent an Mbed TLS server from establishing any
- TLS 1.3 connection potentially resulting in a Denial of Service or forced
- version downgrade from TLS 1.3 to TLS 1.2. Fixes #8654 reported by hey3e.
- Fixes CVE-2024-28755.
- * When negotiating TLS version on server side, do not fall back to the
- TLS 1.2 implementation of the protocol if it is disabled.
- - If the TLS 1.2 implementation was disabled at build time, a TLS 1.2
- client could put the TLS 1.3-only server in an infinite loop processing
- a TLS 1.2 ClientHello, resulting in a denial of service. Reported by
- Matthias Mucha and Thomas Blattmann, SICK AG.
- - If the TLS 1.2 implementation was disabled at runtime, a TLS 1.2 client
- was able to successfully establish a TLS 1.2 connection with the server.
- Reported by alluettiv on GitHub.
- Fixes CVE-2024-28836.
- Bugfix
- * Fix the build with CMake when Everest or P256-m is enabled through
- a user configuration file or the compiler command line. Fixes #8165.
- * Fix compilation error in C++ programs when MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C is
- disabled.
- * Fix possible NULL dereference issue in X509 cert_req program if an entry
- in the san parameter is not separated by a colon.
- * Fix possible NULL dereference issue in X509 cert_write program if an entry
- in the san parameter is not separated by a colon.
- * Fix an inconsistency between implementations and usages of `__cpuid`,
- which mainly causes failures when building Windows target using
- mingw or clang. Fixes #8334 & #8332.
- * Fix build failure in conda-forge. Fixes #8422.
- * Fix parsing of CSRs with critical extensions.
- * Switch to milliseconds as the unit for ticket creation and reception time
- instead of seconds. That avoids rounding errors when computing the age of
- tickets compared to peer using a millisecond clock (observed with GnuTLS).
- Fixes #6623.
- * Fix TLS server accepting TLS 1.2 handshake while TLS 1.2
- is disabled at runtime. Fixes #8593.
- * Remove accidental introduction of RSA signature algorithms
- in TLS Suite B Profile. Fixes #8221.
- * Fix unsupported PSA asymmetric encryption and decryption
- (psa_asymmetric_[en|de]crypt) with opaque keys.
- Resolves #8461.
- * On Linux on ARMv8, fix a build error with SHA-256 and SHA-512
- acceleration detection when the libc headers do not define the
- corresponding constant. Reported by valord577.
- * Correct initial capacities for key derivation algorithms:TLS12_PRF,
- TLS12_PSK_TO_MS, PBKDF2-HMAC, PBKDF2-CMAC
- * Fix mbedtls_pk_get_bitlen() for RSA keys whose size is not a
- multiple of 8. Fixes #868.
- * Avoid segmentation fault caused by releasing not initialized
- entropy resource in gen_key example. Fixes #8809.
- * mbedtls_pem_read_buffer() now performs a check on the padding data of
- decrypted keys and it rejects invalid ones.
- * Fix mbedtls_pk_sign(), mbedtls_pk_verify(), mbedtls_pk_decrypt() and
- mbedtls_pk_encrypt() on non-opaque RSA keys to honor the padding mode in
- the RSA context. Before, if MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO was enabled and the
- RSA context was configured for PKCS#1 v2.1 (PSS/OAEP), the sign/verify
- functions performed a PKCS#1 v1.5 signature instead and the
- encrypt/decrypt functions returned an error. Fixes #8824.
- * Fix missing bitflags in SSL session serialization headers. Their absence
- allowed SSL sessions saved in one configuration to be loaded in a
- different, incompatible configuration.
- * In TLS 1.3 clients, fix an interoperability problem due to the client
- generating a new random after a HelloRetryRequest. Fixes #8669.
- * Fix the restoration of the ALPN when loading serialized connection with
- the mbedtls_ssl_context_load() API.
- * Fix NULL pointer dereference in mbedtls_pk_verify_ext() when called using
- an opaque RSA context and specifying MBEDTLS_PK_RSASSA_PSS as key type.
- * Fix RSA opaque keys always using PKCS1 v1.5 algorithms instead of the
- primary algorithm of the wrapped PSA key.
- * Fully support arbitrary overlap between inputs and outputs of PSA
- functions. Note that overlap is still only partially supported when
- MBEDTLS_PSA_ASSUME_EXCLUSIVE_BUFFERS is set (#3266).
- Changes
- * Use heap memory to allocate DER encoded public/private key.
- This reduces stack usage significantly for writing a public/private
- key to a PEM string.
- * PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM and PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG are no more synonyms and
- they are now treated separately. This means that they should be
- individually enabled in order to enable respective support; also the
- corresponding MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL symbol should be defined in case
- acceleration is required.
- * Moved declaration of functions mbedtls_ecc_group_to_psa and
- mbedtls_ecc_group_of_psa from psa/crypto_extra.h to mbedtls/psa_util.h
- * mbedtls_pk_sign_ext() is now always available, not just when
- PSA (MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C) is enabled.
- * Extended PSA Crypto configurations options for FFDH by making it possible
- to select only some of the parameters / groups, with the macros
- PSA_WANT_DH_RFC7919_XXXX. You now need to defined the corresponding macro
- for each size you want to support. Also, if you have an FFDH accelerator,
- you'll need to define the appropriate MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL macros to signal
- support for these domain parameters.
- * RSA support in PSA no longer auto-enables the pkparse and pkwrite modules,
- saving code size when those are not otherwise enabled.
- * mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod and code that uses it, notably RSA and DHM operations,
- have changed their speed/memory compromise as part of a proactive security
- improvement. The new default value of MBEDTLS_MPI_WINDOW_SIZE roughly
- preserves the current speed, at the expense of increasing memory
- consumption.
- * Rename directory containing Visual Studio files from visualc/VS2013 to
- visualc/VS2017.
- * The TLS 1.3 protocol is now enabled in the default configuration.
- = Mbed TLS 3.5.2 branch released 2024-01-26
- Security
- * Fix a timing side channel in private key RSA operations. This side channel
- could be sufficient for an attacker to recover the plaintext. A local
- attacker or a remote attacker who is close to the victim on the network
- might have precise enough timing measurements to exploit this. It requires
- the attacker to send a large number of messages for decryption. For
- details, see "Everlasting ROBOT: the Marvin Attack", Hubert Kario. Reported
- by Hubert Kario, Red Hat.
- * Fix a failure to validate input when writing x509 extensions lengths which
- could result in an integer overflow, causing a zero-length buffer to be
- allocated to hold the extension. The extension would then be copied into
- the buffer, causing a heap buffer overflow.
- = Mbed TLS 3.5.1 branch released 2023-11-06
- Changes
- * Mbed TLS is now released under a dual Apache-2.0 OR GPL-2.0-or-later
- license. Users may choose which license they take the code under.
- Bugfix
- * Fix accidental omission of MBEDTLS_TARGET_PREFIX in 3rdparty modules
- in CMake.
- = Mbed TLS 3.5.0 branch released 2023-10-05
- API changes
- * Mbed TLS 3.4 introduced support for omitting the built-in implementation
- of ECDSA and/or EC J-PAKE when those are provided by a driver. However,
- there was a flaw in the logic checking if the built-in implementation, in
- that it failed to check if all the relevant curves were supported by the
- accelerator. As a result, it was possible to declare no curves as
- accelerated and still have the built-in implementation compiled out.
- Starting with this release, it is necessary to declare which curves are
- accelerated (using MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_ECC_xxx macros), or they will be
- considered not accelerated, and the built-in implementation of the curves
- and any algorithm possible using them will be included in the build.
- * Add new millisecond time type `mbedtls_ms_time_t` and `mbedtls_ms_time()`
- function, needed for TLS 1.3 ticket lifetimes. Alternative implementations
- can be created using an ALT interface.
- Requirement changes
- * Officially require Python 3.8 now that earlier versions are out of support.
- * Minimum required Windows version is now Windows Vista, or
- Windows Server 2008.
- New deprecations
- * PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR and
- MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR, where xxx is either ECC or RSA,
- are now being deprecated in favor of PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy and
- MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy. Here yyy can be: BASIC,
- IMPORT, EXPORT, GENERATE, DERIVE. The goal is to have a finer detail about
- the capabilities of the PSA side for either key.
- * MBEDTLS_CIPHER_BLKSIZE_MAX is deprecated in favor of
- MBEDTLS_MAX_BLOCK_LENGTH (if you intended what the name suggests:
- maximum size of any supported block cipher) or the new name
- MBEDTLS_CMAC_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE (if you intended the actual semantics:
- maximum size of a block cipher supported by the CMAC module).
- * mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() and mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe() functions are now
- deprecated in favor of mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2_ext() and
- mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe_ext() as they offer more security by checking
- for overflow of the output buffer and reporting the actual length
- of the output.
- Features
- * All modules that use hashes or HMAC can now take advantage of PSA Crypto
- drivers when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C is enabled and psa_crypto_init() has
- been called. Previously (in 3.3), this was restricted to a few modules,
- and only in builds where MBEDTLS_MD_C was disabled; in particular the
- entropy module was not covered which meant an external RNG had to be
- provided - these limitations are lifted in this version. A new set of
- feature macros, MBEDTLS_MD_CAN_xxx, has been introduced that can be used
- to check for availability of hash algorithms, regardless of whether
- they're provided by a built-in implementation, a driver or both. See
- docs/driver-only-builds.md.
- * When a PSA driver for ECDH is present, it is now possible to disable
- MBEDTLS_ECDH_C in the build in order to save code size. For TLS 1.2
- key exchanges based on ECDH(E) to work, this requires
- MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO. Restartable/interruptible ECDHE operations in
- TLS 1.2 (ECDHE-ECDSA key exchange) are not supported in those builds yet,
- as PSA does not have an API for restartable ECDH yet.
- * When all of ECDH, ECDSA and EC J-PAKE are either disabled or provided by
- a driver, it is possible to disable MBEDTLS_ECP_C (and MBEDTLS_BIGNUM_C
- if not required by another module) and still get support for ECC keys and
- algorithms in PSA, with some limitations. See docs/driver-only-builds.txt
- for details.
- * Add parsing of directoryName subtype for subjectAltName extension in
- x509 certificates.
- * Add support for server-side TLS version negotiation. If both TLS 1.2 and
- TLS 1.3 protocols are enabled, the TLS server now selects TLS 1.2 or
- TLS 1.3 depending on the capabilities and preferences of TLS clients.
- Fixes #6867.
- * X.509 hostname verification now supports IPAddress Subject Alternate Names.
- * Add support for reading and writing X25519 and X448
- public and private keys in RFC 8410 format using the existing PK APIs.
- * When parsing X.509 certificates, support the extensions
- SignatureKeyIdentifier and AuthorityKeyIdentifier.
- * Don't include the PSA dispatch functions for PAKEs (psa_pake_setup() etc)
- if no PAKE algorithms are requested
- * Add support for the FFDH algorithm and DH key types in PSA, with
- parameters from RFC 7919. This includes a built-in implementation based
- on MBEDTLS_BIGNUM_C, and a driver dispatch layer enabling alternative
- implementations of FFDH through the driver entry points.
- * It is now possible to generate certificates with SubjectAltNames.
- Currently supported subtypes: DnsName, UniformResourceIdentifier,
- IP address, OtherName, and DirectoryName, as defined in RFC 5280.
- See mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_subject_alternative_name for
- more information.
- * X.509 hostname verification now partially supports URI Subject Alternate
- Names. Only exact matching, without any normalization procedures
- described in 7.4 of RFC5280, will result in a positive URI verification.
- * Add function mbedtls_oid_from_numeric_string() to parse an OID from a
- string to a DER-encoded mbedtls_asn1_buf.
- * Add SHA-3 family hash functions.
- * Add support to restrict AES to 128-bit keys in order to save code size.
- A new configuration option, MBEDTLS_AES_ONLY_128_BIT_KEY_LENGTH, can be
- used to enable this feature.
- * AES performance improvements. Uplift varies by platform,
- toolchain, optimisation flags and mode.
- Aarch64, gcc -Os and CCM, GCM and XTS benefit the most.
- On Aarch64, uplift is typically around 20 - 110%.
- When compiling with gcc -Os on Aarch64, AES-XTS improves
- by 4.5x.
- * Add support for PBKDF2-HMAC through the PSA API.
- * New symbols PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy and
- MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy (where xxx is either ECC, RSA
- or DH) were introduced in order to have finer accuracy in defining the
- PSA capabilities for each key. These capabilities, named yyy above, can be
- any of: BASIC, IMPORT, EXPORT, GENERATE, DERIVE.
- - DERIVE is only available for ECC keys, not for RSA or DH ones.
- - implementations are free to enable more than what it was strictly
- requested. For example BASIC internally enables IMPORT and EXPORT
- (useful for testing purposes), but this might change in the future.
- * Add support for FFDH key exchange in TLS 1.3.
- This is automatically enabled as soon as PSA_WANT_ALG_FFDH
- and the ephemeral or psk-ephemeral key exchange mode are enabled.
- By default, all groups are offered; the list of groups can be
- configured using the existing API function mbedtls_ssl_conf_groups().
- * Improve mbedtls_x509_time performance and reduce memory use.
- * Reduce syscalls to time() during certificate verification.
- * Allow MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE and MBEDTLS_USER_CONFIG_FILE to be set by
- setting the CMake variable of the same name at configuration time.
- * Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_cache_get_timeout()) to access
- `mbedtls_ssl_cache_context.timeout`.
- * Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_get_hostname()) to access
- `mbedtls_ssl_context.hostname`.
- * Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_conf_get_endpoint()) to access
- `mbedtls_ssl_config.endpoint`.
- * Support for "opaque" (PSA-held) ECC keys in the PK module has been
- extended: it is now possible to use mbedtls_pk_write_key_der(),
- mbedtls_pk_write_key_pem(), mbedtls_pk_check_pair(), and
- mbedtls_pk_verify() with opaque ECC keys (provided the PSA attributes
- allow it).
- * The documentation of mbedtls_ecp_group now describes the optimized
- representation of A for some curves. Fixes #8045.
- * Add a possibility to generate CSR's with RCF822 and directoryName subtype
- of subjectAltName extension in x509 certificates.
- * Add support for PBKDF2-CMAC through the PSA API.
- * New configuration option MBEDTLS_AES_USE_HARDWARE_ONLY introduced. When
- using CPU-accelerated AES (e.g., Arm Crypto Extensions), this option
- disables the plain C implementation and the run-time detection for the
- CPU feature, which reduces code size and avoids the vulnerability of the
- plain C implementation.
- * Accept arbitrary AttributeType and AttributeValue in certificate
- Distinguished Names using RFC 4514 syntax.
- * Applications using ECC over secp256r1 through the PSA API can use a
- new implementation with a much smaller footprint, but some minor
- usage restrictions. See the documentation of the new configuration
- option MBEDTLS_PSA_P256M_DRIVER_ENABLED for details.
- Security
- * Fix a case where potentially sensitive information held in memory would not
- be completely zeroized during TLS 1.2 handshake, in both server and client
- configurations.
- * In configurations with ARIA or Camellia but not AES, the value of
- MBEDTLS_CIPHER_BLKSIZE_MAX was 8, rather than 16 as the name might
- suggest. This did not affect any library code, because this macro was
- only used in relation with CMAC which does not support these ciphers.
- This may affect application code that uses this macro.
- * Developers using mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() or mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe() should
- review the size of the output buffer passed to this function, and note
- that the output after decryption may include CBC padding. Consider moving
- to the new functions mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2_ext() or mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe_ext()
- which checks for overflow of the output buffer and reports the actual
- length of the output.
- * Improve padding calculations in CBC decryption, NIST key unwrapping and
- RSA OAEP decryption. With the previous implementation, some compilers
- (notably recent versions of Clang and IAR) could produce non-constant
- time code, which could allow a padding oracle attack if the attacker
- has access to precise timing measurements.
- * Updates to constant-time C code so that compilers are less likely to use
- conditional instructions, which can have an observable difference in
- timing. (Clang has been seen to do this.) Also introduce assembly
- implementations for 32- and 64-bit Arm and for x86 and x86-64, which are
- guaranteed not to use conditional instructions.
- * Fix definition of MBEDTLS_MD_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE, which was too
- small when MBEDTLS_SHA384_C was defined and MBEDTLS_SHA512_C was
- undefined. Mbed TLS itself was unaffected by this, but user code
- which used MBEDTLS_MD_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE could be affected. The only
- release containing this bug was Mbed TLS 3.4.0.
- * Fix a buffer overread when parsing short TLS application data records in
- null-cipher cipher suites. Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
- * Fix a remotely exploitable heap buffer overflow in TLS handshake parsing.
- In TLS 1.3, all configurations are affected except PSK-only ones, and
- both clients and servers are affected.
- In TLS 1.2, the affected configurations are those with
- MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO and ECDH enabled but DHM and RSA disabled,
- and only servers are affected, not clients.
- Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
- Bugfix
- * Fix proper sizing for PSA_EXPORT_[KEY_PAIR/PUBLIC_KEY]_MAX_SIZE and
- PSA_SIGNATURE_MAX_SIZE buffers when at least one accelerated EC is bigger
- than all built-in ones and RSA is disabled.
- Resolves #6622.
- * Add missing md.h includes to some of the external programs from
- the programs directory. Without this, even though the configuration
- was sufficient for a particular program to work, it would only print
- a message that one of the required defines is missing.
- * Fix declaration of mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det_restartable() function
- in the ecdsa.h header file. There was a build warning when the
- configuration macro MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT was defined.
- Resolves #7407.
- * Fix an error when MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT is defined but not
- MBEDTLS_ECDSA_VERIFY_ALT, causing ecdsa verify to fail. Fixes #7498.
- * Fix missing PSA initialization in sample programs when
- MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
- * Fix the J-PAKE driver interface for user and peer to accept any values
- (previously accepted values were limited to "client" or "server").
- * Fix clang and armclang compilation error when targeting certain Arm
- M-class CPUs (Cortex-M0, Cortex-M0+, Cortex-M1, Cortex-M23,
- SecurCore SC000). Fixes #1077.
- * Fix "unterminated '#pragma clang attribute push'" in sha256/sha512.c when
- built with MBEDTLS_SHAxxx_USE_A64_CRYPTO_IF_PRESENT but don't have a
- way to detect the crypto extensions required. A warning is still issued.
- * Fixed an issue that caused compile errors when using CMake and the IAR
- toolchain.
- * Fix very high stack usage in SSL debug code. Reported by Maximilian
- Gerhardt in #7804.
- * Fix a compilation failure in the constant_time module when
- building for arm64_32 (e.g., for watchos). Reported by Paulo
- Coutinho in #7787.
- * Fix crypt_and_hash decryption fail when used with a stream cipher
- mode of operation due to the input not being multiple of block size.
- Resolves #7417.
- * Fix a bug in which mbedtls_x509_string_to_names() would return success
- when given a invalid name string if it did not contain '=' or ','.
- * Fix compilation warnings in aes.c, which prevented the
- example TF-M configuration in configs/ from building cleanly:
- tfm_mbedcrypto_config_profile_medium.h with
- crypto_config_profile_medium.h.
- * In TLS 1.3, fix handshake failure when a client in its ClientHello
- proposes an handshake based on PSK only key exchange mode or at least
- one of the key exchange modes using ephemeral keys to a server that
- supports only the PSK key exchange mode.
- * Fix CCM* with no tag being not supported in a build with CCM as the only
- symmetric encryption algorithm and the PSA configuration enabled.
- * Fix the build with MBEDTLS_PSA_INJECT_ENTROPY. Fixes #7516.
- * Fix a compilation error on some platforms when including mbedtls/ssl.h
- with all TLS support disabled. Fixes #6628.
- * Fix x509 certificate generation to conform to RFC 5480 / RFC 5758 when
- using ECC key. The certificate was rejected by some crypto frameworks.
- Fixes #2924.
- * Fix a potential corruption of the passed-in IV when mbedtls_aes_crypt_cbc()
- is called with zero length and padlock is not enabled.
- * Fix compile failure due to empty enum in cipher_wrap.c, when building
- with a very minimal configuration. Fixes #7625.
- * Fix some cases where mbedtls_mpi_mod_exp, RSA key construction or ECDSA
- signature can silently return an incorrect result in low memory conditions.
- * Don't try to include MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_USER_CONFIG_FILE when
- MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is disabled.
- * Fix IAR compiler warnings.
- * Fix an issue when parsing an otherName subject alternative name into a
- mbedtls_x509_san_other_name struct. The type-id of the otherName was not
- copied to the struct. This meant that the struct had incomplete
- information about the otherName SAN and contained uninitialized memory.
- * Fix the detection of HardwareModuleName otherName SANs. These were being
- detected by comparing the wrong field and the check was erroneously
- inverted.
- * Fix a build error in some configurations with MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG
- enabled, where some low-level modules required by requested PSA crypto
- features were not getting automatically enabled. Fixes #7420.
- * Fix undefined symbols in some builds using TLS 1.3 with a custom
- configuration file.
- * Fix log level for the got supported group message. Fixes #6765
- * Functions in the ssl_cache module now return a negative MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx
- error code on failure. Before, they returned 1 to indicate failure in
- some cases involving a missing entry or a full cache.
- * mbedtls_pk_parse_key() now rejects trailing garbage in encrypted keys.
- * Fix the build with CMake when Everest or P256-m is enabled through
- a user configuration file or the compiler command line. Fixes #8165.
- Changes
- * Enable Arm / Thumb bignum assembly for most Arm platforms when
- compiling with gcc, clang or armclang and -O0.
- * Enforce minimum RSA key size when generating a key
- to avoid accidental misuse.
- * Use heap memory to allocate DER encoded RSA private key.
- This reduces stack usage significantly for RSA signature
- operations when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C is defined.
- * Update Windows code to use BCryptGenRandom and wcslen, and
- ensure that conversions between size_t, ULONG, and int are
- always done safely. Original contribution by Kevin Kane #635, #730
- followed by Simon Butcher #1453.
- * Users integrating their own PSA drivers should be aware that
- the file library/psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.c has been renamed
- to psa_crypto_driver_wrappers_no_static.c.
- * When using CBC with the cipher module, the requirement to call
- mbedtls_cipher_set_padding_mode() is now enforced. Previously, omitting
- this call accidentally applied a default padding mode chosen at compile
- time.
- = Mbed TLS 3.4.1 branch released 2023-08-04
- Bugfix
- * Fix builds on Windows with clang
- Changes
- * Update test data to avoid failures of unit tests after 2023-08-07.
- = Mbed TLS 3.4.0 branch released 2023-03-28
- Default behavior changes
- * The default priority order of TLS 1.3 cipher suites has been modified to
- follow the same rules as the TLS 1.2 cipher suites (see
- ssl_ciphersuites.c). The preferred cipher suite is now
- TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256.
- New deprecations
- * mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial() is now being deprecated in favor of
- mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial_raw(). The goal here is to remove any
- direct dependency of X509 on BIGNUM_C.
- * PSA to mbedtls error translation is now unified in psa_util.h,
- deprecating mbedtls_md_error_from_psa. Each file that performs error
- translation should define its own version of PSA_TO_MBEDTLS_ERR,
- optionally providing file-specific error pairs. Please see psa_util.h for
- more details.
- Features
- * Added partial support for parsing the PKCS #7 Cryptographic Message
- Syntax, as defined in RFC 2315. Currently, support is limited to the
- following:
- - Only the signed-data content type, version 1 is supported.
- - Only DER encoding is supported.
- - Only a single digest algorithm per message is supported.
- - Certificates must be in X.509 format. A message must have either 0
- or 1 certificates.
- - There is no support for certificate revocation lists.
- - The authenticated and unauthenticated attribute fields of SignerInfo
- must be empty.
- Many thanks to Daniel Axtens, Nayna Jain, and Nick Child from IBM for
- contributing this feature, and to Demi-Marie Obenour for contributing
- various improvements, tests and bug fixes.
- * General performance improvements by accessing multiple bytes at a time.
- Fixes #1666.
- * Improvements to use of unaligned and byte-swapped memory, reducing code
- size and improving performance (depending on compiler and target
- architecture).
- * Add support for reading points in compressed format
- (MBEDTLS_ECP_PF_COMPRESSED) with mbedtls_ecp_point_read_binary()
- (and callers) for Short Weierstrass curves with prime p where p = 3 mod 4
- (all mbedtls MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP* and MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_BP* curves
- except MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP224R1 and MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP224K1)
- * SHA224_C/SHA384_C are now independent from SHA384_C/SHA512_C respectively.
- This helps in saving code size when some of the above hashes are not
- required.
- * Add parsing of V3 extensions (key usage, Netscape cert-type,
- Subject Alternative Names) in x509 Certificate Sign Requests.
- * Use HOSTCC (if it is set) when compiling C code during generation of the
- configuration-independent files. This allows them to be generated when
- CC is set for cross compilation.
- * Add parsing of uniformResourceIdentifier subtype for subjectAltName
- extension in x509 certificates.
- * Add an interruptible version of sign and verify hash to the PSA interface,
- backed by internal library support for ECDSA signing and verification.
- * Add parsing of rfc822Name subtype for subjectAltName
- extension in x509 certificates.
- * The configuration macros MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_PLATFORM_FILE and
- MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_STRUCT_FILE specify alternative locations for
- the headers "psa/crypto_platform.h" and "psa/crypto_struct.h".
- * When a PSA driver for ECDSA is present, it is now possible to disable
- MBEDTLS_ECDSA_C in the build in order to save code size. For PK, X.509
- and TLS to fully work, this requires MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO to be enabled.
- Restartable/interruptible ECDSA operations in PK, X.509 and TLS are not
- supported in those builds yet, as driver support for interruptible ECDSA
- operations is not present yet.
- * Add a driver dispatch layer for EC J-PAKE, enabling alternative
- implementations of EC J-PAKE through the driver entry points.
- * Add new API mbedtls_ssl_cache_remove for cache entry removal by
- its session id.
- * Add support to include the SubjectAltName extension to a CSR.
- * Add support for AES with the Armv8-A Cryptographic Extension on
- 64-bit Arm. A new configuration option, MBEDTLS_AESCE_C, can
- be used to enable this feature. Run-time detection is supported
- under Linux only.
- * When a PSA driver for EC J-PAKE is present, it is now possible to disable
- MBEDTLS_ECJPAKE_C in the build in order to save code size. For the
- corresponding TLS 1.2 key exchange to work, MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO needs
- to be enabled.
- * Add functions mbedtls_rsa_get_padding_mode() and mbedtls_rsa_get_md_alg()
- to read non-public fields for padding mode and hash id from
- an mbedtls_rsa_context, as requested in #6917.
- * AES-NI is now supported with Visual Studio.
- * AES-NI is now supported in 32-bit builds, or when MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM
- is disabled, when compiling with GCC or Clang or a compatible compiler
- for a target CPU that supports the requisite instructions (for example
- gcc -m32 -msse2 -maes -mpclmul). (Generic x86 builds with GCC-like
- compilers still require MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM and a 64-bit target.)
- * It is now possible to use a PSA-held (opaque) password with the TLS 1.2
- ECJPAKE key exchange, using the new API function
- mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_ecjpake_password_opaque().
- Security
- * Use platform-provided secure zeroization function where possible, such as
- explicit_bzero().
- * Zeroize SSL cache entries when they are freed.
- * Fix a potential heap buffer overread in TLS 1.3 client-side when
- MBEDTLS_DEBUG_C is enabled. This may result in an application crash.
- * Add support for AES with the Armv8-A Cryptographic Extension on 64-bit
- Arm, so that these systems are no longer vulnerable to timing side-channel
- attacks. This is configured by MBEDTLS_AESCE_C, which is on by default.
- Reported by Demi Marie Obenour.
- * MBEDTLS_AESNI_C, which is enabled by default, was silently ignored on
- builds that couldn't compile the GCC-style assembly implementation
- (most notably builds with Visual Studio), leaving them vulnerable to
- timing side-channel attacks. There is now an intrinsics-based AES-NI
- implementation as a fallback for when the assembly one cannot be used.
- Bugfix
- * Fix possible integer overflow in mbedtls_timing_hardclock(), which
- could cause a crash in programs/test/benchmark.
- * Fix IAR compiler warnings. Fixes #6924.
- * Fix a bug in the build where directory names containing spaces were
- causing generate_errors.pl to error out resulting in a build failure.
- Fixes issue #6879.
- * In TLS 1.3, when using a ticket for session resumption, tweak its age
- calculation on the client side. It prevents a server with more accurate
- ticket timestamps (typically timestamps in milliseconds) compared to the
- Mbed TLS ticket timestamps (in seconds) to compute a ticket age smaller
- than the age computed and transmitted by the client and thus potentially
- reject the ticket. Fix #6623.
- * Fix compile error where MBEDTLS_RSA_C and MBEDTLS_X509_CRT_WRITE_C are
- defined, but MBEDTLS_PK_RSA_ALT_SUPPORT is not defined. Fixes #3174.
- * List PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG in psa/crypto_config.h so that it can
- be toggled with config.py.
- * The key derivation algorithm PSA_ALG_TLS12_ECJPAKE_TO_PMS cannot be
- used on a shared secret from a key agreement since its input must be
- an ECC public key. Reject this properly.
- * mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial() now explicitly rejects serial numbers
- whose binary representation is longer than 20 bytes. This was already
- forbidden by the standard (RFC5280 - section 4.1.2.2) and now it's being
- enforced also at code level.
- * Fix potential undefined behavior in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs(). Reported by
- Pascal Cuoq using TrustInSoft Analyzer in #6701; observed independently by
- Aaron Ucko under Valgrind.
- * Fix behavior of certain sample programs which could, when run with no
- arguments, access uninitialized memory in some cases. Fixes #6700 (which
- was found by TrustInSoft Analyzer during REDOCS'22) and #1120.
- * Fix parsing of X.509 SubjectAlternativeName extension. Previously,
- malformed alternative name components were not caught during initial
- certificate parsing, but only on subsequent calls to
- mbedtls_x509_parse_subject_alt_name(). Fixes #2838.
- * Make the fields of mbedtls_pk_rsassa_pss_options public. This makes it
- possible to verify RSA PSS signatures with the pk module, which was
- inadvertently broken since Mbed TLS 3.0.
- * Fix bug in conversion from OID to string in
- mbedtls_oid_get_numeric_string(). OIDs such as 2.40.0.25 are now printed
- correctly.
- * Reject OIDs with overlong-encoded subidentifiers when converting
- them to a string.
- * Reject OIDs with subidentifier values exceeding UINT_MAX. Such
- subidentifiers can be valid, but Mbed TLS cannot currently handle them.
- * Reject OIDs that have unterminated subidentifiers, or (equivalently)
- have the most-significant bit set in their last byte.
- * Silence warnings from clang -Wdocumentation about empty \retval
- descriptions, which started appearing with Clang 15. Fixes #6960.
- * Fix the handling of renegotiation attempts in TLS 1.3. They are now
- systematically rejected.
- * Fix an unused-variable warning in TLS 1.3-only builds if
- MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION was enabled. Fixes #6200.
- * Fix undefined behavior in mbedtls_ssl_read() and mbedtls_ssl_write() if
- len argument is 0 and buffer is NULL.
- * Allow setting user and peer identifiers for EC J-PAKE operation
- instead of role in PAKE PSA Crypto API as described in the specification.
- This is a partial fix that allows only "client" and "server" identifiers.
- * Fix a compilation error when PSA Crypto is built with support for
- TLS12_PRF but not TLS12_PSK_TO_MS. Reported by joerchan in #7125.
- * In the TLS 1.3 server, select the preferred client cipher suite, not the
- least preferred. The selection error was introduced in Mbed TLS 3.3.0.
- * Fix TLS 1.3 session resumption when the established pre-shared key is
- 384 bits long. That is the length of pre-shared keys created under a
- session where the cipher suite is TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384.
- * Fix an issue when compiling with MBEDTLS_SHA512_USE_A64_CRYPTO_IF_PRESENT
- enabled, which required specifying compiler flags enabling SHA3 Crypto
- Extensions, where some compilers would emit EOR3 instructions in other
- modules, which would then fail if run on a CPU without the SHA3
- extensions. Fixes #5758.
- Changes
- * Install the .cmake files into CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR/cmake/MbedTLS,
- typically /usr/lib/cmake/MbedTLS.
- * Mixed-endian systems are explicitly not supported any more.
- * When MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO and MBEDTLS_ECDSA_DETERMINISTIC are both
- defined, mbedtls_pk_sign() now use deterministic ECDSA for ECDSA
- signatures. This aligns the behaviour with MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO to
- the behaviour without it, where deterministic ECDSA was already used.
- * Visual Studio: Rename the directory containing Visual Studio files from
- visualc/VS2010 to visualc/VS2013 as we do not support building with versions
- older than 2013. Update the solution file to specify VS2013 as a minimum.
- * programs/x509/cert_write:
- - now it accepts the serial number in 2 different formats: decimal and
- hex. They cannot be used simultaneously
- - "serial" is used for the decimal format and it's limted in size to
- unsigned long long int
- - "serial_hex" is used for the hex format; max length here is
- MBEDTLS_X509_RFC5280_MAX_SERIAL_LEN*2
- * The C code follows a new coding style. This is transparent for users but
- affects contributors and maintainers of local patches. For more
- information, see
- https://mbed-tls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kb/how-to/rewrite-branch-for-coding-style/
- * Changed the default MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE from 6 to 2.
- As tested in issue 6790, the correlation between this define and
- RSA decryption performance has changed lately due to security fixes.
- To fix the performance degradation when using default values the
- window was reduced from 6 to 2, a value that gives the best or close
- to best results when tested on Cortex-M4 and Intel i7.
- * When enabling MBEDTLS_SHA256_USE_A64_CRYPTO_* or
- MBEDTLS_SHA512_USE_A64_CRYPTO_*, it is no longer necessary to specify
- compiler target flags on the command line; the library now sets target
- options within the appropriate modules.
- = Mbed TLS 3.3.0 branch released 2022-12-14
- Default behavior changes
- * Previously the macro MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID implemented version 05
- of the IETF draft, and was marked experimental and disabled by default.
- It is now no longer experimental, and implements the final version from
- RFC 9146, which is not interoperable with the draft-05 version.
- If you need to communicate with peers that use earlier versions of
- Mbed TLS, then you need to define MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID_COMPAT
- to 1, but then you won't be able to communicate with peers that use the
- standard (non-draft) version.
- If you need to interoperate with both classes of peers with the
- same build of Mbed TLS, please let us know about your situation on the
- mailing list or GitHub.
- Requirement changes
- * When building with PSA drivers using generate_driver_wrappers.py, or
- when building the library from the development branch rather than
- from a release, the Python module jsonschema is now necessary, in
- addition to jinja2. The official list of required Python modules is
- maintained in scripts/basic.requirements.txt and may change again
- in the future.
- New deprecations
- * Deprecate mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data().
- Use mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list()
- or mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list_shallow().
- Features
- * Support rsa_pss_rsae_* signature algorithms in TLS 1.2.
- * make: enable building unversioned shared library, with e.g.:
- "SHARED=1 SOEXT_TLS=so SOEXT_X509=so SOEXT_CRYPTO=so make lib"
- resulting in library names like "libmbedtls.so" rather than
- "libmbedcrypto.so.11".
- * Expose the EC J-PAKE functionality through the Draft PSA PAKE Crypto API.
- Only the ECC primitive with secp256r1 curve and SHA-256 hash algorithm
- are supported in this implementation.
- * Some modules can now use PSA drivers for hashes, including with no
- built-in implementation present, but only in some configurations.
- - RSA OAEP and PSS (PKCS#1 v2.1), PKCS5, PKCS12 and EC J-PAKE now use
- hashes from PSA when (and only when) MBEDTLS_MD_C is disabled.
- - PEM parsing of encrypted files now uses MD-5 from PSA when (and only
- when) MBEDTLS_MD5_C is disabled.
- See the documentation of the corresponding macros in mbedtls_config.h for
- details.
- Note that some modules are not able to use hashes from PSA yet, including
- the entropy module. As a consequence, for now the only way to build with
- all hashes only provided by drivers (no built-in hash) is to use
- MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG.
- * When MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled, X.509, TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 now
- properly negotiate/accept hashes based on their availability in PSA.
- As a consequence, they now work in configurations where the built-in
- implementations of (some) hashes are excluded and those hashes are only
- provided by PSA drivers. (See previous entry for limitation on RSA-PSS
- though: that module only use hashes from PSA when MBEDTLS_MD_C is off).
- * Add support for opaque keys as the private keys associated to certificates
- for authentication in TLS 1.3.
- * Add the LMS post-quantum-safe stateful-hash asymmetric signature scheme.
- Signature verification is production-ready, but generation is for testing
- purposes only. This currently only supports one parameter set
- (LMS_SHA256_M32_H10), meaning that each private key can be used to sign
- 1024 messages. As such, it is not intended for use in TLS, but instead
- for verification of assets transmitted over an insecure channel,
- particularly firmware images.
- * Add the LM-OTS post-quantum-safe one-time signature scheme, which is
- required for LMS. This can be used independently, but each key can only
- be used to sign one message so is impractical for most circumstances.
- * Mbed TLS now supports TLS 1.3 key establishment via pre-shared keys.
- The pre-shared keys can be provisioned externally or via the ticket
- mechanism (session resumption).
- The ticket mechanism is supported when the configuration option
- MBEDTLS_SSL_SESSION_TICKETS is enabled.
- New options MBEDTLS_SSL_TLS1_3_KEY_EXCHANGE_MODE_xxx_ENABLED
- control the support for the three possible TLS 1.3 key exchange modes.
- * cert_write: support for setting extended key usage attributes. A
- corresponding new public API call has been added in the library,
- mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_ext_key_usage().
- * cert_write: support for writing certificate files in either PEM
- or DER format.
- * The PSA driver wrapper generator generate_driver_wrappers.py now
- supports a subset of the driver description language, including
- the following entry points: import_key, export_key, export_public_key,
- get_builtin_key, copy_key.
- * The new functions mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list() and
- mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list_shallow() simplify the management
- of memory in named data lists in X.509 structures.
- * The TLS 1.2 EC J-PAKE key exchange can now use the PSA Crypto API.
- Additional PSA key slots will be allocated in the process of such key
- exchange for builds that enable MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECJPAKE_ENABLED and
- MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO.
- * Add support for DTLS Connection ID as defined by RFC 9146, controlled by
- MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID (enabled by default) and configured with
- mbedtls_ssl_set_cid().
- * Add a driver dispatch layer for raw key agreement, enabling alternative
- implementations of raw key agreement through the key_agreement driver
- entry point. This entry point is specified in the proposed PSA driver
- interface, but had not yet been implemented.
- * Add an ad-hoc key derivation function handling EC J-PAKE to PMS
- calculation that can be used to derive the session secret in TLS 1.2,
- as described in draft-cragie-tls-ecjpake-01. This can be achieved by
- using PSA_ALG_TLS12_ECJPAKE_TO_PMS as the key derivation algorithm.
- Security
- * Fix potential heap buffer overread and overwrite in DTLS if
- MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID is enabled and
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_IN_LEN_MAX > 2 * MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_OUT_LEN_MAX.
- * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough information
- about memory accesses (typically, an untrusted operating system attacking
- a secure enclave) could recover an RSA private key after observing the
- victim performing a single private-key operation if the window size used
- for the exponentiation was 3 or smaller. Found and reported by Zili KOU,
- Wenjian HE, Sharad Sinha, and Wei ZHANG. See "Cache Side-channel Attacks
- and Defenses of the Sliding Window Algorithm in TEEs" - Design, Automation
- and Test in Europe 2023.
- Bugfix
- * Refactor mbedtls_aes_context to support shallow-copying. Fixes #2147.
- * Fix an issue with in-tree CMake builds in releases with GEN_FILES
- turned off: if a shipped file was missing from the working directory,
- it could be turned into a symbolic link to itself.
- * Fix a long-standing build failure when building x86 PIC code with old
- gcc (4.x). The code will be slower, but will compile. We do however
- recommend upgrading to a more recent compiler instead. Fixes #1910.
- * Fix support for little-endian Microblaze when MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM is defined.
- Contributed by Kazuyuki Kimura to fix #2020.
- * Use double quotes to include private header file psa_crypto_cipher.h.
- Fixes 'file not found with <angled> include' error
- when building with Xcode.
- * Fix handling of broken symlinks when loading certificates using
- mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path(). Instead of returning an error as soon as a
- broken link is encountered, skip the broken link and continue parsing
- other certificate files. Contributed by Eduardo Silva in #2602.
- * Fix an interoperability failure between an Mbed TLS client with both
- TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 support, and a TLS 1.2 server that supports
- rsa_pss_rsae_* signature algorithms. This failed because Mbed TLS
- advertised support for PSS in both TLS 1.2 and 1.3, but only
- actually supported PSS in TLS 1.3.
- * Fix a compilation error when using CMake with an IAR toolchain.
- Fixes #5964.
- * Fix a build error due to a missing prototype warning when
- MBEDTLS_DEPRECATED_REMOVED is enabled.
- * Fix mbedtls_ctr_drbg_free() on an initialized but unseeded context. When
- MBEDTLS_AES_ALT is enabled, it could call mbedtls_aes_free() on an
- uninitialized context.
- * Fix a build issue on Windows using CMake where the source and build
- directories could not be on different drives. Fixes #5751.
- * Fix bugs and missing dependencies when building and testing
- configurations with only one encryption type enabled in TLS 1.2.
- * Provide the missing definition of mbedtls_setbuf() in some configurations
- with MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_C disabled. Fixes #6118, #6196.
- * Fix compilation errors when trying to build with
- PSA drivers for AEAD (GCM, CCM, Chacha20-Poly1305).
- * Fix memory leak in ssl_parse_certificate_request() caused by
- mbedtls_x509_get_name() not freeing allocated objects in case of error.
- Change mbedtls_x509_get_name() to clean up allocated objects on error.
- * Fix build failure with MBEDTLS_RSA_C and MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C but not
- MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO or MBEDTLS_PK_WRITE_C. Fixes #6408.
- * Fix build failure with MBEDTLS_RSA_C and MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C but not
- MBEDTLS_PK_PARSE_C. Fixes #6409.
- * Fix ECDSA verification, where it was not always validating the
- public key. This bug meant that it was possible to verify a
- signature with an invalid public key, in some cases. Reported by
- Guido Vranken using Cryptofuzz in #4420.
- * Fix a possible null pointer dereference if a memory allocation fails
- in TLS PRF code. Reported by Michael Madsen in #6516.
- * Fix TLS 1.3 session resumption. Fixes #6488.
- * Add a configuration check to exclude optional client authentication
- in TLS 1.3 (where it is forbidden).
- * Fix a bug in which mbedtls_x509_crt_info() would produce non-printable
- bytes when parsing certificates containing a binary RFC 4108
- HardwareModuleName as a Subject Alternative Name extension. Hardware
- serial numbers are now rendered in hex format. Fixes #6262.
- * Fix bug in error reporting in dh_genprime.c where upon failure,
- the error code returned by mbedtls_mpi_write_file() is overwritten
- and therefore not printed.
- * In the bignum module, operations of the form (-A) - (+A) or (-A) - (-A)
- with A > 0 created an unintended representation of the value 0 which was
- not processed correctly by some bignum operations. Fix this. This had no
- consequence on cryptography code, but might affect applications that call
- bignum directly and use negative numbers.
- * Fix a bug whereby the list of signature algorithms sent as part of
- the TLS 1.2 server certificate request would get corrupted, meaning the
- first algorithm would not get sent and an entry consisting of two random
- bytes would be sent instead. Found by Serban Bejan and Dudek Sebastian.
- * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) of
- mbedtls_mpi_add_mpi(), mbedtls_mpi_add_abs() and mbedtls_mpi_add_int()
- when both operands are 0 and the left operand is represented with 0 limbs.
- * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) when some bignum
- functions receive the most negative value of mbedtls_mpi_sint. Credit
- to OSS-Fuzz. Fixes #6597.
- * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) in PSA ECB
- encryption and decryption.
- * Move some SSL-specific code out of libmbedcrypto where it had been placed
- accidentally.
- * Fix a build error when compiling the bignum module for some Arm platforms.
- Fixes #6089, #6124, #6217.
- Changes
- * Add the ability to query PSA_WANT_xxx macros to query_compile_time_config.
- * Calling AEAD tag-specific functions for non-AEAD algorithms (which
- should not be done - they are documented for use only by AES-GCM and
- ChaCha20+Poly1305) now returns MBEDTLS_ERR_CIPHER_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE
- instead of success (0).
- = Mbed TLS 3.2.1 branch released 2022-07-12
- Bugfix
- * Re-add missing generated file library/psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.c
- = Mbed TLS 3.2.0 branch released 2022-07-11
- Default behavior changes
- * mbedtls_cipher_set_iv will now fail with ChaCha20 and ChaCha20+Poly1305
- for IV lengths other than 12. The library was silently overwriting this
- length with 12, but did not inform the caller about it. Fixes #4301.
- Requirement changes
- * The library will no longer compile out of the box on a platform without
- setbuf(). If your platform does not have setbuf(), you can configure an
- alternative function by enabling MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETBUF_ALT or
- MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETBUF_MACRO.
- New deprecations
- * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version() and
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version() in favor of
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_tls_version() and
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_tls_version().
- * Deprecate mbedtls_cipher_setup_psa(). Use psa_aead_xxx() or
- psa_cipher_xxx() directly instead.
- * Secure element drivers enabled by MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C are deprecated.
- This was intended as an experimental feature, but had not been explicitly
- documented as such. Use opaque drivers with the interface enabled by
- MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVERS instead.
- * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_hashes() in favor of the more generic
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_algs(). Signature algorithms for the TLS 1.2 and
- TLS 1.3 handshake should now be configured with
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_algs().
- Features
- * Add accessor to obtain ciphersuite id from ssl context.
- * Add accessors to get members from ciphersuite info.
- * Add mbedtls_ssl_ticket_rotate() for external ticket rotation.
- * Add accessor to get the raw buffer pointer from a PEM context.
- * The structures mbedtls_ssl_config and mbedtls_ssl_context now store
- a piece of user data which is reserved for the application. The user
- data can be either a pointer or an integer.
- * Add an accessor function to get the configuration associated with
- an SSL context.
- * Add a function to access the protocol version from an SSL context in a
- form that's easy to compare. Fixes #5407.
- * Add function mbedtls_md_info_from_ctx() to recall the message digest
- information that was used to set up a message digest context.
- * Add ALPN support in TLS 1.3 clients.
- * Add server certificate selection callback near end of Client Hello.
- Register callback with mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_cb().
- * Provide mechanism to reset handshake cert list by calling
- mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_own_cert() with NULL value for own_cert param.
- * Add accessor mbedtls_ssl_get_hs_sni() to retrieve SNI from within
- cert callback (mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_cb()) during handshake.
- * The X.509 module now uses PSA hash acceleration if present.
- * Add support for psa crypto key derivation for elliptic curve
- keys. Fixes #3260.
- * Add function mbedtls_timing_get_final_delay() to access the private
- final delay field in an mbedtls_timing_delay_context, as requested in
- #5183.
- * Add mbedtls_pk_sign_ext() which allows generating RSA-PSS signatures when
- PSA Crypto is enabled.
- * Add function mbedtls_ecp_export() to export ECP key pair parameters.
- Fixes #4838.
- * Add function mbedtls_ssl_is_handshake_over() to enable querying if the SSL
- Handshake has completed or not, and thus whether to continue calling
- mbedtls_ssl_handshake_step(), requested in #4383.
- * Add the function mbedtls_ssl_get_own_cid() to access our own connection id
- within mbedtls_ssl_context, as requested in #5184.
- * Introduce mbedtls_ssl_hs_cb_t typedef for use with
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_cb() and perhaps future callbacks
- during TLS handshake.
- * Add functions mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_tls_version() and
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_tls_version() that use a single value to specify
- the protocol version.
- * Extend the existing PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS() algorithm to support
- mixed-PSK. Add an optional input PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_OTHER_SECRET
- holding the other secret.
- * When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is enabled, you may list the PSA crypto
- feature requirements in the file named by the new macro
- MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG_FILE instead of the default psa/crypto_config.h.
- Furthermore you may name an additional file to include after the main
- file with the macro MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_USER_CONFIG_FILE.
- * Add the function mbedtls_x509_crt_has_ext_type() to access the ext types
- field within mbedtls_x509_crt context, as requested in #5585.
- * Add HKDF-Expand and HKDF-Extract as separate algorithms in the PSA API.
- * Add support for the ARMv8 SHA-2 acceleration instructions when building
- for Aarch64.
- * Add support for authentication of TLS 1.3 clients by TLS 1.3 servers.
- * Add support for server HelloRetryRequest message. The TLS 1.3 client is
- now capable of negotiating another shared secret if the one sent in its
- first ClientHello was not suitable to the server.
- * Add support for client-side TLS version negotiation. If both TLS 1.2 and
- TLS 1.3 protocols are enabled in the build of Mbed TLS, the TLS client now
- negotiates TLS 1.3 or TLS 1.2 with TLS servers.
- * Enable building of Mbed TLS with TLS 1.3 protocol support but without TLS
- 1.2 protocol support.
- * Mbed TLS provides an implementation of a TLS 1.3 server (ephemeral key
- establishment only). See docs/architecture/tls13-support.md for a
- description of the support. The MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3 and
- MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_C configuration options control this.
- * Add accessors to configure DN hints for certificate request:
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_dn_hints() and mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_dn_hints()
- * The configuration option MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO, which previously
- affected only a limited subset of crypto operations in TLS, X.509 and PK,
- now causes most of them to be done using PSA Crypto; see
- docs/use-psa-crypto.md for the list of exceptions.
- * The function mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque() now supports RSA key pairs as well.
- Opaque keys can now be used everywhere a private key is expected in the
- TLS and X.509 modules.
- * Opaque pre-shared keys for TLS, provisioned with
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk_opaque() or mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk_opaque(), which
- previously only worked for "pure" PSK key exchange, now can also be used
- for the "mixed" PSK key exchanges as well: ECDHE-PSK, DHE-PSK, RSA-PSK.
- * cmake now detects if it is being built as a sub-project, and in that case
- disables the target export/installation and package configuration.
- * Make USE_PSA_CRYPTO compatible with KEY_ID_ENCODES_OWNER. Fixes #5259.
- * Add example programs cipher_aead_demo.c, md_hmac_demo.c, aead_demo.c
- and hmac_demo.c, which use PSA and the md/cipher interfaces side
- by side in order to illustrate how the operation is performed in PSA.
- Addresses #5208.
- Security
- * Zeroize dynamically-allocated buffers used by the PSA Crypto key storage
- module before freeing them. These buffers contain secret key material, and
- could thus potentially leak the key through freed heap.
- * Fix potential memory leak inside mbedtls_ssl_cache_set() with
- an invalid session id length.
- * Add the platform function mbedtls_setbuf() to allow buffering to be
- disabled on stdio files, to stop secrets loaded from said files being
- potentially left in memory after file operations. Reported by
- Glenn Strauss.
- * Fix a potential heap buffer overread in TLS 1.2 server-side when
- MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled, an opaque key (created with
- mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque()) is provisioned, and a static ECDH ciphersuite
- is selected. This may result in an application crash or potentially an
- information leak.
- * Fix a buffer overread in DTLS ClientHello parsing in servers with
- MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE enabled. An unauthenticated client
- or a man-in-the-middle could cause a DTLS server to read up to 255 bytes
- after the end of the SSL input buffer. The buffer overread only happens
- when MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN is less than a threshold that depends on
- the exact configuration: 258 bytes if using mbedtls_ssl_cookie_check(),
- and possibly up to 571 bytes with a custom cookie check function.
- Reported by the Cybeats PSI Team.
- * Fix a buffer overread in TLS 1.3 Certificate parsing. An unauthenticated
- client or server could cause an MbedTLS server or client to overread up
- to 64 kBytes of data and potentially overread the input buffer by that
- amount minus the size of the input buffer. As overread data undergoes
- various checks, the likelihood of reaching the boundary of the input
- buffer is rather small but increases as its size
- MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN decreases.
- * Fix check of certificate key usage in TLS 1.3. The usage of the public key
- provided by a client or server certificate for authentication was not
- checked properly when validating the certificate. This could cause a
- client or server to be able to authenticate itself through a certificate
- to an Mbed TLS TLS 1.3 server or client while it does not own a proper
- certificate to do so.
- Bugfix
- * Declare or use PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG following the general
- pattern for PSA_WANT_xxx symbols. Previously you had to specify
- PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM for PSA_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG.
- * Fix a memory leak if mbedtls_ssl_config_defaults() is called twice.
- * Fixed swap of client and server random bytes when exporting them alongside
- TLS 1.3 handshake and application traffic secret.
- * Fix several bugs (warnings, compiler and linker errors, test failures)
- in reduced configurations when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
- * Fix a bug in (D)TLS curve negotiation: when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO was
- enabled and an ECDHE-ECDSA or ECDHE-RSA key exchange was used, the
- client would fail to check that the curve selected by the server for
- ECDHE was indeed one that was offered. As a result, the client would
- accept any curve that it supported, even if that curve was not allowed
- according to its configuration. Fixes #5291.
- * The TLS 1.3 implementation is now compatible with the
- MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO configuration option.
- * Fix unit tests that used 0 as the file UID. This failed on some
- implementations of PSA ITS. Fixes #3838.
- * Fix mbedtls_ssl_get_version() not reporting TLSv1.3. Fixes #5406.
- * Fix API violation in mbedtls_md_process() test by adding a call to
- mbedtls_md_starts(). Fixes #2227.
- * Fix compile errors when MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME is not defined. Add tests
- to catch bad uses of time.h.
- * Fix a race condition in out-of-source builds with CMake when generated data
- files are already present. Fixes #5374.
- * Fix the library search path when building a shared library with CMake
- on Windows.
- * Fix bug in the alert sending function mbedtls_ssl_send_alert_message()
- potentially leading to corrupted alert messages being sent in case
- the function needs to be re-called after initially returning
- MBEDTLS_SSL_WANT_WRITE. Fixes #1916.
- * In configurations with MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID enabled but not
- MBEDTLS_DEBUG_C, DTLS handshakes using CID would crash due to a null
- pointer dereference. Fix this. Fixes #3998.
- The fix was released, but not announced, in Mbed TLS 3.1.0.
- * Fix incorrect documentation of mbedtls_x509_crt_profile. The previous
- documentation stated that the `allowed_pks` field applies to signatures
- only, but in fact it does apply to the public key type of the end entity
- certificate, too. Fixes #1992.
- * Fix undefined behavior in mbedtls_asn1_find_named_data(), where val is
- not NULL and val_len is zero.
- * Fix compilation error with mingw32. Fixed by Cameron Cawley in #4211.
- * Fix compilation error when using C++ Builder on Windows. Reported by
- Miroslav Mastny in #4015.
- * psa_raw_key_agreement() now returns PSA_ERROR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL when
- applicable. Fixes #5735.
- * Fix a bug in the x25519 example program where the removal of
- MBEDTLS_ECDH_LEGACY_CONTEXT caused the program not to run. Fixes #4901 and
- #3191.
- * Fix a TLS 1.3 handshake failure when the peer Finished message has not
- been received yet when we first try to fetch it.
- * Encode X.509 dates before 1/1/2000 as UTCTime rather than
- GeneralizedTime. Fixes #5465.
- * Add mbedtls_x509_dn_get_next function to return the next relative DN in
- an X509 name, to allow walking the name list. Fixes #5431.
- * Fix order value of curve x448.
- * Fix string representation of DNs when outputting values containing commas
- and other special characters, conforming to RFC 1779. Fixes #769.
- * Silence a warning from GCC 12 in the selftest program. Fixes #5974.
- * Fix check_config.h to check that we have MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE
- when MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3 is specified, and make this and other
- dependencies explicit in the documentation. Fixes #5610.
- * Fix mbedtls_asn1_write_mpi() writing an incorrect encoding of 0.
- * Fix a TLS 1.3 handshake failure when the first attempt to send the client
- Finished message on the network cannot be satisfied. Fixes #5499.
- * Fix resource leaks in mbedtls_pk_parse_public_key() in low
- memory conditions.
- * Fix server connection identifier setting for outgoing encrypted records
- on DTLS 1.2 session resumption. After DTLS 1.2 session resumption with
- connection identifier, the Mbed TLS client now properly sends the server
- connection identifier in encrypted record headers. Fix #5872.
- * Fix a null pointer dereference when performing some operations on zero
- represented with 0 limbs (specifically mbedtls_mpi_mod_int() dividing
- by 2, and mbedtls_mpi_write_string() in base 2).
- * Fix record sizes larger than 16384 being sometimes accepted despite being
- non-compliant. This could not lead to a buffer overflow. In particular,
- application data size was already checked correctly.
- * Fix MBEDTLS_SVC_KEY_ID_GET_KEY_ID() and MBEDTLS_SVC_KEY_ID_GET_OWNER_ID()
- which have been broken, resulting in compilation errors, since Mbed TLS
- 3.0.
- * Ensure that TLS 1.2 ciphersuite/certificate and key selection takes into
- account not just the type of the key (RSA vs EC) but also what it can
- actually do. Resolves #5831.
- * Fix CMake windows host detection, especially when cross compiling.
- * Fix an error in make where the absence of a generated file caused
- make to break on a clean checkout. Fixes #5340.
- * Work around an MSVC ARM64 compiler bug causing incorrect behaviour
- in mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod(). Reported by Tautvydas Žilys in #5467.
- * Removed the prompt to exit from all windows build programs, which was causing
- issues in CI/CD environments.
- Changes
- * The file library/psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.c is now generated
- from a template. In the future, the generation will support
- driver descriptions. For the time being, to customize this file,
- see docs/proposed/psa-driver-wrappers-codegen-migration-guide.md
- * Return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT if the algorithm passed to one-shot
- AEAD functions is not an AEAD algorithm. This aligns them with the
- multipart functions, and the PSA Crypto API 1.1 specification.
- * In mbedtls_pk_parse_key(), if no password is provided, don't allocate a
- temporary variable on the heap. Suggested by Sergey Kanatov in #5304.
- * Assume source files are in UTF-8 when using MSVC with CMake.
- * Fix runtime library install location when building with CMake and MinGW.
- DLLs are now installed in the bin directory instead of lib.
- * cmake: Use GnuInstallDirs to customize install directories
- Replace custom LIB_INSTALL_DIR variable with standard CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR
- variable. For backward compatibility, set CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR if
- LIB_INSTALL_DIR is set.
- * Add a CMake option that enables static linking of the runtime library
- in Microsoft Visual C++ compiler. Contributed by Microplankton.
- * In CMake builds, add aliases for libraries so that the normal MbedTLS::*
- targets work when MbedTLS is built as a subdirectory. This allows the
- use of FetchContent, as requested in #5688.
- = mbed TLS 3.1.0 branch released 2021-12-17
- API changes
- * New error code for GCM: MBEDTLS_ERR_GCM_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL.
- Alternative GCM implementations are expected to verify
- the length of the provided output buffers and to return the
- MBEDTLS_ERR_GCM_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL in case the buffer length is too small.
- * You can configure groups for a TLS key exchange with the new function
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_groups(). It extends mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves().
- * Declare a number of structure fields as public: the fields of
- mbedtls_ecp_curve_info, the fields describing the result of ASN.1 and
- X.509 parsing, and finally the field fd of mbedtls_net_context on
- POSIX/Unix-like platforms.
- Requirement changes
- * Sign-magnitude and one's complement representations for signed integers are
- not supported. Two's complement is the only supported representation.
- New deprecations
- * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves() in favor of the more generic
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_groups().
- Removals
- * Remove the partial support for running unit tests via Greentea on Mbed OS,
- which had been unmaintained since 2018.
- Features
- * Enable support for Curve448 via the PSA API. Contributed by
- Archana Madhavan in #4626. Fixes #3399 and #4249.
- * The identifier of the CID TLS extension can be configured by defining
- MBEDTLS_TLS_EXT_CID at compile time.
- * Implement the PSA multipart AEAD interface, currently supporting
- ChaChaPoly and GCM.
- * Warn if errors from certain functions are ignored. This is currently
- supported on GCC-like compilers and on MSVC and can be configured through
- the macro MBEDTLS_CHECK_RETURN. The warnings are always enabled
- (where supported) for critical functions where ignoring the return
- value is almost always a bug. Enable the new configuration option
- MBEDTLS_CHECK_RETURN_WARNING to get warnings for other functions. This
- is currently implemented in the AES, DES and md modules, and will be
- extended to other modules in the future.
- * Add missing PSA macros declared by PSA Crypto API 1.0.0:
- PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH, PSA_ALG_NONE, PSA_HASH_BLOCK_LENGTH, PSA_KEY_ID_NULL.
- * Add support for CCM*-no-tag cipher to the PSA.
- Currently only 13-byte long IV's are supported.
- For decryption a minimum of 16-byte long input is expected.
- These restrictions may be subject to change.
- * Add new API mbedtls_ct_memcmp for constant time buffer comparison.
- * Add functions to get the IV and block size from cipher_info structs.
- * Add functions to check if a cipher supports variable IV or key size.
- * Add the internal implementation of and support for CCM to the PSA multipart
- AEAD interface.
- * Mbed TLS provides a minimum viable implementation of the TLS 1.3
- protocol. See docs/architecture/tls13-support.md for the definition of
- the TLS 1.3 Minimum Viable Product (MVP). The MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3
- configuration option controls the enablement of the support. The APIs
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version() and mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version() allow
- to select the 1.3 version of the protocol to establish a TLS connection.
- * Add PSA API definition for ARIA.
- Security
- * Zeroize several intermediate variables used to calculate the expected
- value when verifying a MAC or AEAD tag. This hardens the library in
- case the value leaks through a memory disclosure vulnerability. For
- example, a memory disclosure vulnerability could have allowed a
- man-in-the-middle to inject fake ciphertext into a DTLS connection.
- * In psa_aead_generate_nonce(), do not read back from the output buffer.
- This fixes a potential policy bypass or decryption oracle vulnerability
- if the output buffer is in memory that is shared with an untrusted
- application.
- * In psa_cipher_generate_iv() and psa_cipher_encrypt(), do not read back
- from the output buffer. This fixes a potential policy bypass or decryption
- oracle vulnerability if the output buffer is in memory that is shared with
- an untrusted application.
- * Fix a double-free that happened after mbedtls_ssl_set_session() or
- mbedtls_ssl_get_session() failed with MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_ALLOC_FAILED
- (out of memory). After that, calling mbedtls_ssl_session_free()
- and mbedtls_ssl_free() would cause an internal session buffer to
- be free()'d twice.
- Bugfix
- * Stop using reserved identifiers as local variables. Fixes #4630.
- * The GNU makefiles invoke python3 in preference to python except on Windows.
- The check was accidentally not performed when cross-compiling for Windows
- on Linux. Fix this. Fixes #4774.
- * Prevent divide by zero if either of PSA_CIPHER_ENCRYPT_OUTPUT_SIZE() or
- PSA_CIPHER_UPDATE_OUTPUT_SIZE() were called using an asymmetric key type.
- * Fix a parameter set but unused in psa_crypto_cipher.c. Fixes #4935.
- * Don't use the obsolete header path sys/fcntl.h in unit tests.
- These header files cause compilation errors in musl.
- Fixes #4969.
- * Fix missing constraints on x86_64 and aarch64 assembly code
- for bignum multiplication that broke some bignum operations with
- (at least) Clang 12.
- Fixes #4116, #4786, #4917, #4962.
- * Fix mbedtls_cipher_crypt: AES-ECB when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
- * Failures of alternative implementations of AES or DES single-block
- functions enabled with MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT_ALT, MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT_ALT,
- MBEDTLS_DES_CRYPT_ECB_ALT or MBEDTLS_DES3_CRYPT_ECB_ALT were ignored.
- This does not concern the implementation provided with Mbed TLS,
- where this function cannot fail, or full-module replacements with
- MBEDTLS_AES_ALT or MBEDTLS_DES_ALT. Reported by Armelle Duboc in #1092.
- * Some failures of HMAC operations were ignored. These failures could only
- happen with an alternative implementation of the underlying hash module.
- * Fix the error returned by psa_generate_key() for a public key. Fixes #4551.
- * Fix compile-time or run-time errors in PSA
- AEAD functions when ChachaPoly is disabled. Fixes #5065.
- * Remove PSA'a AEAD finish/verify output buffer limitation for GCM.
- The requirement of minimum 15 bytes for output buffer in
- psa_aead_finish() and psa_aead_verify() does not apply to the built-in
- implementation of GCM.
- * Move GCM's update output buffer length verification from PSA AEAD to
- the built-in implementation of the GCM.
- The requirement for output buffer size to be equal or greater then
- input buffer size is valid only for the built-in implementation of GCM.
- Alternative GCM implementations can process whole blocks only.
- * Fix the build of sample programs when neither MBEDTLS_ERROR_C nor
- MBEDTLS_ERROR_STRERROR_DUMMY is enabled.
- * Fix PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS verification accepting an arbitrary salt length.
- This algorithm now accepts only the same salt length for verification
- that it produces when signing, as documented. Use the new algorithm
- PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS_ANY_SALT to accept any salt length. Fixes #4946.
- * The existing predicate macro name PSA_ALG_IS_HASH_AND_SIGN is now reserved
- for algorithm values that fully encode the hashing step, as per the PSA
- Crypto API specification. This excludes PSA_ALG_RSA_PKCS1V15_SIGN_RAW and
- PSA_ALG_ECDSA_ANY. The new predicate macro PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH covers
- all algorithms that can be used with psa_{sign,verify}_hash(), including
- these two.
- * Fix issue in Makefile on Linux with SHARED=1, that caused shared libraries
- not to list other shared libraries they need.
- * Fix a bug in mbedtls_gcm_starts() when the bit length of the iv
- exceeds 2^32. Fixes #4884.
- * Fix an uninitialized variable warning in test_suite_ssl.function with GCC
- version 11.
- * Fix the build when no SHA2 module is included. Fixes #4930.
- * Fix the build when only the bignum module is included. Fixes #4929.
- * Fix a potential invalid pointer dereference and infinite loop bugs in
- pkcs12 functions when the password is empty. Fix the documentation to
- better describe the inputs to these functions and their possible values.
- Fixes #5136.
- * The key usage flags PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_MESSAGE now allows the MAC
- operations psa_mac_compute() and psa_mac_sign_setup().
- * The key usage flags PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_MESSAGE now allows the MAC
- operations psa_mac_verify() and psa_mac_verify_setup().
- Changes
- * Explicitly mark the fields mbedtls_ssl_session.exported and
- mbedtls_ssl_config.respect_cli_pref as private. This was an
- oversight during the run-up to the release of Mbed TLS 3.0.
- The fields were never intended to be public.
- * Implement multi-part CCM API.
- The multi-part functions: mbedtls_ccm_starts(), mbedtls_ccm_set_lengths(),
- mbedtls_ccm_update_ad(), mbedtls_ccm_update(), mbedtls_ccm_finish()
- were introduced in mbedTLS 3.0 release, however their implementation was
- postponed until now.
- Implemented functions support chunked data input for both CCM and CCM*
- algorithms.
- * Remove MBEDTLS_SSL_EXPORT_KEYS, making it always on and increasing the
- code size by about 80B on an M0 build. This option only gated an ability
- to set a callback, but was deemed unnecessary as it was yet another define
- to remember when writing tests, or test configurations. Fixes #4653.
- * Improve the performance of base64 constant-flow code. The result is still
- slower than the original non-constant-flow implementation, but much faster
- than the previous constant-flow implementation. Fixes #4814.
- * Ignore plaintext/ciphertext lengths for CCM*-no-tag operations.
- For CCM* encryption/decryption without authentication, input
- length will be ignored.
- * Indicate in the error returned if the nonce length used with
- ChaCha20-Poly1305 is invalid, and not just unsupported.
- * The mbedcrypto library includes a new source code module constant_time.c,
- containing various functions meant to resist timing side channel attacks.
- This module does not have a separate configuration option, and functions
- from this module will be included in the build as required. Currently
- most of the interface of this module is private and may change at any
- time.
- * The generated configuration-independent files are now automatically
- generated by the CMake build system on Unix-like systems. This is not
- yet supported when cross-compiling.
- = Mbed TLS 3.0.0 branch released 2021-07-07
- API changes
- * Remove HAVEGE module.
- The design of HAVEGE makes it unsuitable for microcontrollers. Platforms
- with a more complex CPU usually have an operating system interface that
- provides better randomness. Instead of HAVEGE, declare OS or hardware RNG
- interfaces with mbedtls_entropy_add_source() and/or use an entropy seed
- file created securely during device provisioning. See
- https://mbed-tls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kb/how-to/add-entropy-sources-to-entropy-pool/ for
- more information.
- * Add missing const attributes to API functions.
- * Remove helpers for the transition from Mbed TLS 1.3 to Mbed TLS 2.0: the
- header compat-1.3.h and the script rename.pl.
- * Remove certs module from the API.
- Transfer keys and certificates embedded in the library to the test
- component. This contributes to minimizing library API and discourages
- users from using unsafe keys in production.
- * Move alt helpers and definitions.
- Various helpers and definitions available for use in alt implementations
- have been moved out of the include/ directory and into the library/
- directory. The files concerned are ecp_internal.h and rsa_internal.h
- which have also been renamed to ecp_internal_alt.h and rsa_alt_helpers.h
- respectively.
- * Move internal headers.
- Header files that were only meant for the library's internal use and
- were not meant to be used in application code have been moved out of
- the include/ directory. The headers concerned are bn_mul.h, aesni.h,
- padlock.h, entropy_poll.h and *_internal.h.
- * Drop support for parsing SSLv2 ClientHello
- (MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_SUPPORT_SSLV2_CLIENT_HELLO).
- * Drop support for SSLv3 (MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_SSL3).
- * Drop support for TLS record-level compression (MBEDTLS_ZLIB_SUPPORT).
- * Drop support for RC4 TLS ciphersuites.
- * Drop support for single-DES ciphersuites.
- * Drop support for MBEDTLS_SSL_HW_RECORD_ACCEL.
- * Update AEAD output size macros to bring them in line with the PSA Crypto
- API version 1.0 spec. This version of the spec parameterizes them on the
- key type used, as well as the key bit-size in the case of
- PSA_AEAD_TAG_LENGTH.
- * Add configuration option MBEDTLS_X509_REMOVE_INFO which
- removes the mbedtls_x509_*_info(), mbedtls_debug_print_crt()
- as well as other functions and constants only used by
- those functions. This reduces the code footprint by
- several kB.
- * Remove SSL error codes `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CERTIFICATE_REQUIRED`
- and `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_INVALID_VERIFY_HASH` which are never
- returned from the public SSL API.
- * Remove `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CERTIFICATE_TOO_LARGE` and return
- `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL` instead.
- * The output parameter of mbedtls_sha512_finish, mbedtls_sha512,
- mbedtls_sha256_finish and mbedtls_sha256 now has a pointer type
- rather than array type. This removes spurious warnings in some compilers
- when outputting a SHA-384 or SHA-224 hash into a buffer of exactly
- the hash size.
- * Remove the MBEDTLS_TEST_NULL_ENTROPY config option. Fixes #4388.
- * The interface of the GCM module has changed to remove restrictions on
- how the input to multipart operations is broken down. mbedtls_gcm_finish()
- now takes extra output parameters for the last partial output block.
- mbedtls_gcm_update() now takes extra parameters for the output length.
- The software implementation always produces the full output at each
- call to mbedtls_gcm_update(), but alternative implementations activated
- by MBEDTLS_GCM_ALT may delay partial blocks to the next call to
- mbedtls_gcm_update() or mbedtls_gcm_finish(). Furthermore, applications
- no longer pass the associated data to mbedtls_gcm_starts(), but to the
- new function mbedtls_gcm_update_ad().
- These changes are backward compatible for users of the cipher API.
- * Replace MBEDTLS_SHA512_NO_SHA384 config option with MBEDTLS_SHA384_C.
- This separates config option enabling the SHA384 algorithm from option
- enabling the SHA512 algorithm. Fixes #4034.
- * Introduce MBEDTLS_SHA224_C.
- This separates config option enabling the SHA224 algorithm from option
- enabling SHA256.
- * The getter and setter API of the SSL session cache (used for
- session-ID based session resumption) has changed to that of
- a key-value store with keys being session IDs and values
- being opaque instances of `mbedtls_ssl_session`.
- * Remove the mode parameter from RSA operation functions. Signature and
- decryption functions now always use the private key and verification and
- encryption use the public key. Verification functions also no longer have
- RNG parameters.
- * Modify semantics of `mbedtls_ssl_conf_[opaque_]psk()`:
- In Mbed TLS 2.X, the API prescribes that later calls overwrite
- the effect of earlier calls. In Mbed TLS 3.0, calling
- `mbedtls_ssl_conf_[opaque_]psk()` more than once will fail,
- leaving the PSK that was configured first intact.
- Support for more than one PSK may be added in 3.X.
- * The function mbedtls_x509write_csr_set_extension() has an extra parameter
- which allows to mark an extension as critical. Fixes #4055.
- * For multi-part AEAD operations with the cipher module, calling
- mbedtls_cipher_finish() is now mandatory. Previously the documentation
- was unclear on this point, and this function happened to never do
- anything with the currently implemented AEADs, so in practice it was
- possible to skip calling it, which is no longer supported.
- * The option MBEDTLS_ECP_FIXED_POINT_OPTIM use pre-computed comb tables
- instead of computing tables in runtime. Thus, this option now increase
- code size, and it does not increase RAM usage in runtime anymore.
- * Remove the SSL APIs mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() and
- mbedtls_ssl_get_output_max_frag_len(), and add a new API
- mbedtls_ssl_get_max_in_record_payload(), complementing the existing
- mbedtls_ssl_get_max_out_record_payload().
- Uses of mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() and
- mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() should be replaced by
- mbedtls_ssl_get_max_in_record_payload() and
- mbedtls_ssl_get_max_out_record_payload(), respectively.
- * mbedtls_rsa_init() now always selects the PKCS#1v1.5 encoding for an RSA
- key. To use an RSA key with PSS or OAEP, call mbedtls_rsa_set_padding()
- after initializing the context. mbedtls_rsa_set_padding() now returns an
- error if its parameters are invalid.
- * Replace MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_RESPECT_CLIENT_PREFERENCE by a runtime
- configuration function mbedtls_ssl_conf_preference_order(). Fixes #4398.
- * Instead of accessing the len field of a DHM context, which is no longer
- supported, use the new function mbedtls_dhm_get_len() .
- * In modules that implement cryptographic hash functions, many functions
- mbedtls_xxx() now return int instead of void, and the corresponding
- function mbedtls_xxx_ret() which was identical except for returning int
- has been removed. This also concerns mbedtls_xxx_drbg_update(). See the
- migration guide for more information. Fixes #4212.
- * For all functions that take a random number generator (RNG) as a
- parameter, this parameter is now mandatory (that is, NULL is not an
- acceptable value). Functions which previously accepted NULL and now
- reject it are: the X.509 CRT and CSR writing functions; the PK and RSA
- sign and decrypt function; mbedtls_rsa_private(); the functions
- in DHM and ECDH that compute the shared secret; the scalar multiplication
- functions in ECP.
- * The following functions now require an RNG parameter:
- mbedtls_ecp_check_pub_priv(), mbedtls_pk_check_pair(),
- mbedtls_pk_parse_key(), mbedtls_pk_parse_keyfile().
- * mbedtls_ssl_conf_export_keys_ext_cb() and
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_export_keys_cb() have been removed and
- replaced by a new API mbedtls_ssl_set_export_keys_cb().
- Raw keys and IVs are no longer passed to the callback.
- Further, callbacks now receive an additional parameter
- indicating the type of secret that's being exported,
- paving the way for the larger number of secrets
- in TLS 1.3. Finally, the key export callback and
- context are now connection-specific.
- * Signature functions in the RSA and PK modules now require the hash
- length parameter to be the size of the hash input. For RSA signatures
- other than raw PKCS#1 v1.5, this must match the output size of the
- specified hash algorithm.
- * The functions mbedtls_pk_sign(), mbedtls_pk_sign_restartable(),
- mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature() and
- mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature_restartable() now take an extra parameter
- indicating the size of the output buffer for the signature.
- * Implement one-shot cipher functions, psa_cipher_encrypt and
- psa_cipher_decrypt, according to the PSA Crypto API 1.0.0
- specification.
- * Direct access to fields of structures declared in public headers is no
- longer supported except for fields that are documented public. Use accessor
- functions instead. For more information, see the migration guide entry
- "Most structure fields are now private".
- * mbedtls_ssl_get_session_pointer() has been removed, and
- mbedtls_ssl_{set,get}_session() may now only be called once for any given
- SSL context.
- Default behavior changes
- * Enable by default the functionalities which have no reason to be disabled.
- They are: ARIA block cipher, CMAC mode, elliptic curve J-PAKE library and
- Key Wrapping mode as defined in NIST SP 800-38F. Fixes #4036.
- * Some default policies for X.509 certificate verification and TLS have
- changed: curves and hashes weaker than 255 bits are no longer accepted
- by default. The default order in TLS now favors faster curves over larger
- curves.
- Requirement changes
- * The library now uses the %zu format specifier with the printf() family of
- functions, so requires a toolchain that supports it. This change does not
- affect the maintained LTS branches, so when contributing changes please
- bear this in mind and do not add them to backported code.
- * If you build the development version of Mbed TLS, rather than an official
- release, some configuration-independent files are now generated at build
- time rather than checked into source control. This includes some library
- source files as well as the Visual Studio solution. Perl, Python 3 and a
- C compiler for the host platform are required. See “Generated source files
- in the development branch” in README.md for more information.
- * Refresh the minimum supported versions of tools to build the
- library. CMake versions older than 3.10.2 and Python older
- than 3.6 are no longer supported.
- Removals
- * Remove the MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_CERTIFICATES
- compile-time option, which was off by default. Users should not trust
- certificates signed with SHA-1 due to the known attacks against SHA-1.
- If needed, SHA-1 certificates can still be verified by using a custom
- verification profile.
- * Removed deprecated things in psa/crypto_compat.h. Fixes #4284
- * Removed deprecated functions from hashing modules. Fixes #4280.
- * Remove PKCS#11 library wrapper. PKCS#11 has limited functionality,
- lacks automated tests and has scarce documentation. Also, PSA Crypto
- provides a more flexible private key management.
- More details on PCKS#11 wrapper removal can be found in the mailing list
- https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/pipermail/mbed-tls/2020-April/000024.html
- * Remove deprecated error codes. Fix #4283
- * Remove MBEDTLS_ENABLE_WEAK_CIPHERSUITES configuration option. Fixes #4416.
- * Remove the MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_CERTIFICATES
- compile-time option. This option has been inactive for a long time.
- Please use the `lifetime` parameter of `mbedtls_ssl_ticket_setup()`
- instead.
- * Remove the following deprecated functions and constants of hex-encoded
- primes based on RFC 5114 and RFC 3526 from library code and tests:
- mbedtls_aes_encrypt(), mbedtls_aes_decrypt(), mbedtls_mpi_is_prime(),
- mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt(), mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt(),
- mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update(), mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update(),
- mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature_det(), mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det(),
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param(), mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len(),
- MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC5114_MODP_2048_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC5114_MODP_2048_G,
- MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_G,
- MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_3072_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_3072_G,
- MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_4096_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_4096_G.
- Remove the deprecated file: include/mbedtls/net.h. Fixes #4282.
- * Remove MBEDTLS_SSL_MAX_CONTENT_LEN configuration option, since
- MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN and MBEDTLS_SSL_OUT_CONTENT_LEN replace
- it. Fixes #4362.
- * Remove the MBEDTLS_SSL_RECORD_CHECKING option and enable by default its
- previous action. Fixes #4361.
- * Remove support for TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 and DTLS 1.0, as well as support for
- CBC record splitting, fallback SCSV, and the ability to configure
- ciphersuites per version, which are no longer relevant. This removes the
- configuration options MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1,
- MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_1, MBEDTLS_SSL_CBC_RECORD_SPLITTING and
- MBEDTLS_SSL_FALLBACK_SCSV as well as the functions
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_cbc_record_splitting(),
- mbedtls_ssl_get_key_exchange_md_ssl_tls(), mbedtls_ssl_conf_fallback(),
- and mbedtls_ssl_conf_ciphersuites_for_version(). Fixes #4286.
- * The RSA module no longer supports private-key operations with the public
- key and vice versa.
- * Remove the MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_BADMAC_LIMIT config.h option. Fixes #4403.
- * Remove all the 3DES ciphersuites:
- MBEDTLS_TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
- MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
- MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
- MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDHE_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
- MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
- MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
- MBEDTLS_TLS_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
- MBEDTLS_TLS_RSA_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
- MBEDTLS_TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA. Remove the
- MBEDTLS_REMOVE_3DES_CIPHERSUITES option which is no longer relevant.
- Fixes #4367.
- * Remove the MBEDTLS_X509_ALLOW_EXTENSIONS_NON_V3 option and let the code
- behave as if it was always disabled. Fixes #4386.
- * Remove MBEDTLS_ECDH_LEGACY_CONTEXT config option since this was purely for
- backward compatibility which is no longer supported. Addresses #4404.
- * Remove the following macros: MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS,
- MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS_ASSERT, MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED,
- MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED_ALT. Fixes #4313.
- * Remove the MBEDTLS_X509_ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION config.h
- option. The mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() is the way to go for
- migration path. Fixes #4378.
- * Remove the MBEDTLS_X509_CHECK_KEY_USAGE and
- MBEDTLS_X509_CHECK_EXTENDED_KEY_USAGE config.h options and let the code
- behave as if they were always enabled. Fixes #4405.
- * MBEDTLS_ECP_MAX_BITS is no longer a configuration option because it is
- now determined automatically based on supported curves.
- * Remove the following functions: mbedtls_timing_self_test(),
- mbedtls_hardclock_poll(), mbedtls_timing_hardclock() and
- mbedtls_set_alarm(). Fixes #4083.
- * The configuration option MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_INTERNAL_RNG has been removed as
- it no longer had any effect.
- * Remove all support for MD2, MD4, RC4, Blowfish and XTEA. This removes the
- corresponding modules and all their APIs and related configuration
- options. Fixes #4084.
- * Remove MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC and also remove
- MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC_COMPAT config option. Users are better served by
- using a CCM-8 ciphersuite than a CBC ciphersuite with truncated HMAC.
- See issue #4341 for more details.
- * Remove the compile-time option
- MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_KEY_EXCHANGE.
- Features
- * Add mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pss_sign_ext() function allowing to generate a
- signature with a specific salt length. This function allows to validate
- test cases provided in the NIST's CAVP test suite. Contributed by Cédric
- Meuter in PR #3183.
- * Added support for built-in driver keys through the PSA opaque crypto
- driver interface. Refer to the documentation of
- MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_BUILTIN_KEYS for more information.
- * Implement psa_sign_message() and psa_verify_message().
- * The multi-part GCM interface (mbedtls_gcm_update() or
- mbedtls_cipher_update()) no longer requires the size of partial inputs to
- be a multiple of 16.
- * The multi-part GCM interface now supports chunked associated data through
- multiple calls to mbedtls_gcm_update_ad().
- * The new function mbedtls_mpi_random() generates a random value in a
- given range uniformly.
- * Alternative implementations of the AES, DHM, ECJPAKE, ECP, RSA and timing
- modules had undocumented constraints on their context types. These
- constraints have been relaxed.
- See docs/architecture/alternative-implementations.md for the remaining
- constraints.
- * The new functions mbedtls_dhm_get_len() and mbedtls_dhm_get_bitlen()
- query the size of the modulus in a Diffie-Hellman context.
- * The new function mbedtls_dhm_get_value() copy a field out of a
- Diffie-Hellman context.
- * Use the new function mbedtls_ecjpake_set_point_format() to select the
- point format for ECJPAKE instead of accessing the point_format field
- directly, which is no longer supported.
- * Implement psa_mac_compute() and psa_mac_verify() as defined in the
- PSA Cryptograpy API 1.0.0 specification.
- Security
- * Fix a bias in the generation of finite-field Diffie-Hellman-Merkle (DHM)
- private keys and of blinding values for DHM and elliptic curves (ECP)
- computations. Reported by FlorianF89 in #4245.
- * Fix a potential side channel vulnerability in ECDSA ephemeral key generation.
- An adversary who is capable of very precise timing measurements could
- learn partial information about the leading bits of the nonce used for the
- signature, allowing the recovery of the private key after observing a
- large number of signature operations. This completes a partial fix in
- Mbed TLS 2.20.0.
- * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough information
- about memory accesses (typically, an untrusted operating system attacking
- a secure enclave) could recover an RSA private key after observing the
- victim performing a single private-key operation. Found and reported by
- Zili KOU, Wenjian HE, Sharad Sinha, and Wei ZHANG.
- * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough timing
- information (typically, a co-located process) could recover a Curve25519
- or Curve448 static ECDH key after inputting a chosen public key and
- observing the victim performing the corresponding private-key operation.
- Found and reported by Leila Batina, Lukas Chmielewski, Björn Haase, Niels
- Samwel and Peter Schwabe.
- Bugfix
- * Fix premature fopen() call in mbedtls_entropy_write_seed_file which may
- lead to the seed file corruption in case if the path to the seed file is
- equal to MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_STD_NV_SEED_FILE. Contributed by Victor
- Krasnoshchok in #3616.
- * PSA functions creating a key now return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT rather
- than PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE when the identifier specified for the key
- to create is not valid, bringing them in line with version 1.0.0 of the
- specification. Fix #4271.
- * Add printf function attributes to mbedtls_debug_print_msg to ensure we
- get printf format specifier warnings.
- * PSA functions other than psa_open_key now return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE
- rather than PSA_ERROR_DOES_NOT_EXIST for an invalid handle, bringing them
- in line with version 1.0.0 of the specification. Fix #4162.
- * Fix a bug in ECDSA that would cause it to fail when the hash is all-bits
- zero. Fixes #1792
- * Fix some cases in the bignum module where the library constructed an
- unintended representation of the value 0 which was not processed
- correctly by some bignum operations. This could happen when
- mbedtls_mpi_read_string() was called on "-0", or when
- mbedtls_mpi_mul_mpi() and mbedtls_mpi_mul_int() was called with one of
- the arguments being negative and the other being 0. Fixes #4643.
- * Fix a compilation error when MBEDTLS_ECP_RANDOMIZE_MXZ_ALT is
- defined. Fixes #4217.
- * Fix an incorrect error code when parsing a PKCS#8 private key.
- * In a TLS client, enforce the Diffie-Hellman minimum parameter size
- set with mbedtls_ssl_conf_dhm_min_bitlen() precisely. Before, the
- minimum size was rounded down to the nearest multiple of 8.
- * In library/net_sockets.c, _POSIX_C_SOURCE and _XOPEN_SOURCE are
- defined to specific values. If the code is used in a context
- where these are already defined, this can result in a compilation
- error. Instead, assume that if they are defined, the values will
- be adequate to build Mbed TLS.
- * With MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C disabled, some functions were getting built
- nonetheless, resulting in undefined reference errors when building a
- shared library. Reported by Guillermo Garcia M. in #4411.
- * The cipher suite TLS-RSA-WITH-CAMELLIA-256-GCM-SHA384 was not available
- when SHA-1 was disabled and was offered when SHA-1 was enabled but SHA-384
- was disabled. Fix the dependency. Fixes #4472.
- * Do not offer SHA384 cipher suites when SHA-384 is disabled. Fixes #4499.
- * Fix test suite code on platforms where int32_t is not int, such as
- Arm Cortex-M. Fixes #4530.
- * Fix some issues affecting MBEDTLS_ARIA_ALT implementations: a misplaced
- directive in a header and a missing initialization in the self-test.
- * Fix a missing initialization in the Camellia self-test, affecting
- MBEDTLS_CAMELLIA_ALT implementations.
- * Restore the ability to configure PSA via Mbed TLS options to support RSA
- key pair operations but exclude RSA key generation. When MBEDTLS_GENPRIME
- is not defined PSA will no longer attempt to use mbedtls_rsa_gen_key().
- Fixes #4512.
- * Fix a regression introduced in 2.24.0 which broke (D)TLS CBC ciphersuites
- (when the encrypt-then-MAC extension is not in use) with some ALT
- implementations of the underlying hash (SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384), causing
- the affected side to wrongly reject valid messages. Fixes #4118.
- * Remove outdated check-config.h check that prevented implementing the
- timing module on Mbed OS. Fixes #4633.
- * Fix PSA_ALG_TLS12_PRF and PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS being too permissive
- about missing inputs.
- * Fix mbedtls_net_poll() and mbedtls_net_recv_timeout() often failing with
- MBEDTLS_ERR_NET_POLL_FAILED on Windows. Fixes #4465.
- * Fix a resource leak in a test suite with an alternative AES
- implementation. Fixes #4176.
- * Fix a crash in mbedtls_mpi_debug_mpi on a bignum having 0 limbs. This
- could notably be triggered by setting the TLS debug level to 3 or above
- and using a Montgomery curve for the key exchange. Reported by lhuang04
- in #4578. Fixes #4608.
- * psa_verify_hash() was relying on implementation-specific behavior of
- mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pss_verify() and was causing failures in some _ALT
- implementations. This reliance is now removed. Fixes #3990.
- * Disallow inputs of length different from the corresponding hash when
- signing or verifying with PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS (The PSA Crypto API mandates
- that PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS uses the same hash throughout the algorithm.)
- * Fix a null pointer dereference when mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod() was called with
- A=0 represented with 0 limbs. Up to and including Mbed TLS 2.26, this bug
- could not be triggered by code that constructed A with one of the
- mbedtls_mpi_read_xxx functions (including in particular TLS code) since
- those always built an mpi object with at least one limb.
- Credit to OSS-Fuzz. Fixes #4641.
- * Fix mbedtls_mpi_gcd(G,A,B) when the value of B is zero. This had no
- effect on Mbed TLS's internal use of mbedtls_mpi_gcd(), but may affect
- applications that call mbedtls_mpi_gcd() directly. Fixes #4642.
- * The PSA API no longer allows the creation or destruction of keys with a
- read-only lifetime. The persistence level PSA_KEY_PERSISTENCE_READ_ONLY
- can now only be used as intended, for keys that cannot be modified through
- normal use of the API.
- * When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SPM is enabled, crypto_spe.h was not included
- in all the right places. Include it from crypto_platform.h, which is
- the natural place. Fixes #4649.
- * Fix which alert is sent in some cases to conform to the
- applicable RFC: on an invalid Finished message value, an
- invalid max_fragment_length extension, or an
- unsupported extension used by the server.
- * Correct (change from 12 to 13 bytes) the value of the macro describing the
- maximum nonce length returned by psa_aead_generate_nonce().
- Changes
- * Fix the setting of the read timeout in the DTLS sample programs.
- * Add extra printf compiler warning flags to builds.
- * Fix memsan build false positive in x509_crt.c with clang 11
- * Alternative implementations of CMAC may now opt to not support 3DES as a
- CMAC block cipher, and still pass the CMAC self test.
- * Remove the AES sample application programs/aes/aescrypt2 which shows
- bad cryptographic practice. Fix #1906.
- * Remove configs/config-psa-crypto.h, which no longer had any intended
- differences from the default configuration, but had accidentally diverged.
- * When building the test suites with GNU make, invoke python3 or python, not
- python2, which is no longer supported upstream.
- * fix build failure on MinGW toolchain when __USE_MING_ANSI_STDIO is on.
- When that flag is on, standard GNU C printf format specifiers
- should be used.
- * Replace MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_PADDING_GRANULARITY and
- MBEDTLS_SSL_TLS1_3_PADDING_GRANULARITY with a new single unified option
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_TLS1_3_PADDING_GRANULARITY. Fixes #4335.
- * Reduce the default value of MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE. This reduces RAM usage
- during ECC operations at a negligible performance cost.
- * mbedtls_mpi_read_binary(), mbedtls_mpi_read_binary_le() and
- mbedtls_mpi_read_string() now construct an mbedtls_mpi object with 0 limbs
- when their input has length 0. Note that this is an implementation detail
- and can change at any time, so this change should be transparent, but it
- may result in mbedtls_mpi_write_binary() or mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
- now writing an empty string where it previously wrote one or more
- zero digits when operating from values constructed with an mpi_read
- function and some mpi operations.
- * Add CMake package config generation for CMake projects consuming Mbed TLS.
- * config.h has been split into build_info.h and mbedtls_config.h
- build_info.h is intended to be included from C code directly, while
- mbedtls_config.h is intended to be edited by end users wishing to
- change the build configuration, and should generally only be included from
- build_info.h.
- * The handling of MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE has been moved into build_info.h.
- * A config file version symbol, MBEDTLS_CONFIG_VERSION was introduced.
- Defining it to a particular value will ensure that Mbed TLS interprets
- the config file in a way that's compatible with the config file format
- used by the Mbed TLS release whose MBEDTLS_VERSION_NUMBER has the same
- value.
- The only value supported by Mbed TLS 3.0.0 is 0x03000000.
- * Various changes to which alert and/or error code may be returned
- * during the TLS handshake.
- * Implicitly add PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_MESSAGE key usage policy flag when
- PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_HASH flag is set and PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_MESSAGE flag
- when PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_HASH flag is set. This usage flag extension
- is also applied when loading a key from storage.
- = mbed TLS 2.26.0 branch released 2021-03-08
- API changes
- * Renamed the PSA Crypto API output buffer size macros to bring them in line
- with version 1.0.0 of the specification.
- * The API glue function mbedtls_ecc_group_of_psa() now takes the curve size
- in bits rather than bytes, with an additional flag to indicate if the
- size may have been rounded up to a whole number of bytes.
- * Renamed the PSA Crypto API AEAD tag length macros to bring them in line
- with version 1.0.0 of the specification.
- Default behavior changes
- * In mbedtls_rsa_context objects, the ver field was formerly documented
- as always 0. It is now reserved for internal purposes and may take
- different values.
- New deprecations
- * PSA_KEY_EXPORT_MAX_SIZE, PSA_HASH_SIZE, PSA_MAC_FINAL_SIZE,
- PSA_BLOCK_CIPHER_BLOCK_SIZE, PSA_MAX_BLOCK_CIPHER_BLOCK_SIZE and
- PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS_MAX_PSK_LEN have been renamed, and the old names
- deprecated.
- * PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_DEFAULT_TAG_LENGTH and PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_TAG_LENGTH
- have been renamed, and the old names deprecated.
- Features
- * The PSA crypto subsystem can now use HMAC_DRBG instead of CTR_DRBG.
- CTR_DRBG is used by default if it is available, but you can override
- this choice by setting MBEDTLS_PSA_HMAC_DRBG_MD_TYPE at compile time.
- Fix #3354.
- * Automatic fallback to a software implementation of ECP when
- MBEDTLS_ECP_xxx_ALT accelerator hooks are in use can now be turned off
- through setting the new configuration flag MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_FALLBACK.
- * The PSA crypto subsystem can now be configured to use less static RAM by
- tweaking the setting for the maximum amount of keys simultaneously in RAM.
- MBEDTLS_PSA_KEY_SLOT_COUNT sets the maximum number of volatile keys that
- can exist simultaneously. It has a sensible default if not overridden.
- * Partial implementation of the PSA crypto driver interface: Mbed TLS can
- now use an external random generator instead of the library's own
- entropy collection and DRBG code. Enable MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG
- and see the documentation of mbedtls_psa_external_get_random() for details.
- * Applications using both mbedtls_xxx and psa_xxx functions (for example,
- applications using TLS and MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO) can now use the PSA
- random generator with mbedtls_xxx functions. See the documentation of
- mbedtls_psa_get_random() for details.
- * In the PSA API, the policy for a MAC or AEAD algorithm can specify a
- minimum MAC or tag length thanks to the new wildcards
- PSA_ALG_AT_LEAST_THIS_LENGTH_MAC and
- PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_AT_LEAST_THIS_LENGTH_TAG.
- Security
- * Fix a security reduction in CTR_DRBG when the initial seeding obtained a
- nonce from entropy. Applications were affected if they called
- mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len(), if they called
- mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_entropy_len() with a size that was 3/2 times the key
- length, or when the entropy module uses SHA-256 and CTR_DRBG uses AES-256.
- In such cases, a random nonce was necessary to achieve the advertised
- security strength, but the code incorrectly used a constant instead of
- entropy from the nonce.
- Found by John Stroebel in #3819 and fixed in #3973.
- * Fix a buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() when calculating
- |A| - |B| where |B| is larger than |A| and has more limbs (so the
- function should return MBEDTLS_ERR_MPI_NEGATIVE_VALUE). Only
- applications calling mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() directly are affected:
- all calls inside the library were safe since this function is
- only called with |A| >= |B|. Reported by Guido Vranken in #4042.
- * Fix an errorneous estimation for an internal buffer in
- mbedtls_pk_write_key_pem(). If MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE is set to an odd
- value the function might fail to write a private RSA keys of the largest
- supported size.
- Found by Daniel Otte, reported in #4093 and fixed in #4094.
- * Fix a stack buffer overflow with mbedtls_net_poll() and
- mbedtls_net_recv_timeout() when given a file descriptor that is
- beyond FD_SETSIZE. Reported by FigBug in #4169.
- * Guard against strong local side channel attack against base64 tables by
- making access aceess to them use constant flow code.
- Bugfix
- * Fix use-after-scope error in programs/ssl/ssl_client2.c and ssl_server2.c
- * Fix memory leak that occured when calling psa_close_key() on a
- wrapped key with MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C defined.
- * Fix an incorrect error code if an RSA private operation glitched.
- * Fix a memory leak in an error case in psa_generate_derived_key_internal().
- * Fix a resource leak in CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C
- is enabled, on platforms where initializing a mutex allocates resources.
- This was a regression introduced in the previous release. Reported in
- #4017, #4045 and #4071.
- * Ensure that calling mbedtls_rsa_free() or mbedtls_entropy_free()
- twice is safe. This happens for RSA when some Mbed TLS library functions
- fail. Such a double-free was not safe when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C was
- enabled on platforms where freeing a mutex twice is not safe.
- * Fix a resource leak in a bad-arguments case of mbedtls_rsa_gen_key()
- when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled on platforms where initializing
- a mutex allocates resources.
- * Fixes a bug where, if the library was configured to include support for
- both the old SE interface and the new PSA driver interface, external keys were
- not loaded from storage. This was fixed by #3996.
- * This change makes 'mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_basic_constraints'
- consistent with RFC 5280 4.2.1.9 which says: "Conforming CAs MUST
- include this extension in all CA certificates that contain public keys
- used to validate digital signatures on certificates and MUST mark the
- extension as critical in such certificates." Previous to this change,
- the extension was always marked as non-critical. This was fixed by
- #3698.
- Changes
- * A new library C file psa_crypto_client.c has been created to contain
- the PSA code needed by a PSA crypto client when the PSA crypto
- implementation is not included into the library.
- * On recent enough versions of FreeBSD and DragonFlyBSD, the entropy module
- now uses the getrandom syscall instead of reading from /dev/urandom.
- = mbed TLS 2.25.0 branch released 2020-12-11
- API changes
- * The numerical values of the PSA Crypto API macros have been updated to
- conform to version 1.0.0 of the specification.
- * PSA_ALG_STREAM_CIPHER replaces PSA_ALG_CHACHA20 and PSA_ALG_ARC4.
- The underlying stream cipher is determined by the key type
- (PSA_KEY_TYPE_CHACHA20 or PSA_KEY_TYPE_ARC4).
- * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
- mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() no longer accept NIST_KW contexts,
- as they have no way to check if the output buffer is large enough.
- Please use mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt_ext() and
- mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt_ext() instead. Credit to OSS-Fuzz and
- Cryptofuzz. Fixes #3665.
- Requirement changes
- * Update the minimum required CMake version to 2.8.12. This silences a
- warning on CMake 3.19.0. #3801
- New deprecations
- * PSA_ALG_CHACHA20 and PSA_ALG_ARC4 have been deprecated.
- Use PSA_ALG_STREAM_CIPHER instead.
- * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
- mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() are deprecated in favour of the new
- functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt_ext() and
- mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt_ext(). Please note that with AEAD ciphers,
- these new functions always append the tag to the ciphertext, and include
- the tag in the ciphertext length.
- Features
- * Partial implementation of the new PSA Crypto accelerator APIs. (Symmetric
- ciphers, asymmetric signing/verification and key generation, validate_key
- entry point, and export_public_key interface.)
- * Add support for ECB to the PSA cipher API.
- * In PSA, allow using a key declared with a base key agreement algorithm
- in combined key agreement and derivation operations, as long as the key
- agreement algorithm in use matches the algorithm the key was declared with.
- This is currently non-standard behaviour, but expected to make it into a
- future revision of the PSA Crypto standard.
- * Add MBEDTLS_TARGET_PREFIX CMake variable, which is prefixed to the mbedtls,
- mbedcrypto, mbedx509 and apidoc CMake target names. This can be used by
- external CMake projects that include this one to avoid CMake target name
- clashes. The default value of this variable is "", so default target names
- are unchanged.
- * Add support for DTLS-SRTP as defined in RFC 5764. Contributed by Johan
- Pascal, improved by Ron Eldor.
- * In the PSA API, it is no longer necessary to open persistent keys:
- operations now accept the key identifier. The type psa_key_handle_t is now
- identical to psa_key_id_t instead of being platform-defined. This bridges
- the last major gap to compliance with the PSA Cryptography specification
- version 1.0.0. Opening persistent keys is still supported for backward
- compatibility, but will be deprecated and later removed in future
- releases.
- * PSA_AEAD_NONCE_LENGTH, PSA_AEAD_NONCE_MAX_SIZE, PSA_CIPHER_IV_LENGTH and
- PSA_CIPHER_IV_MAX_SIZE macros have been added as defined in version
- 1.0.0 of the PSA Crypto API specification.
- Security
- * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
- mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() would write past the minimum documented
- size of the output buffer when used with NIST_KW. As a result, code using
- those functions as documented with NIST_KW could have a buffer overwrite
- of up to 15 bytes, with consequences ranging up to arbitrary code
- execution depending on the location of the output buffer.
- * Limit the size of calculations performed by mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod to
- MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE to prevent a potential denial of service when
- generating Diffie-Hellman key pairs. Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
- * A failure of the random generator was ignored in mbedtls_mpi_fill_random(),
- which is how most uses of randomization in asymmetric cryptography
- (including key generation, intermediate value randomization and blinding)
- are implemented. This could cause failures or the silent use of non-random
- values. A random generator can fail if it needs reseeding and cannot not
- obtain entropy, or due to an internal failure (which, for Mbed TLS's own
- CTR_DRBG or HMAC_DRBG, can only happen due to a misconfiguration).
- * Fix a compliance issue whereby we were not checking the tag on the
- algorithm parameters (only the size) when comparing the signature in the
- description part of the cert to the real signature. This meant that a
- NULL algorithm parameters entry would look identical to an array of REAL
- (size zero) to the library and thus the certificate would be considered
- valid. However, if the parameters do not match in *any* way then the
- certificate should be considered invalid, and indeed OpenSSL marks these
- certs as invalid when mbedtls did not.
- Many thanks to guidovranken who found this issue via differential fuzzing
- and reported it in #3629.
- * Zeroising of local buffers and variables which are used for calculations
- in mbedtls_pkcs5_pbkdf2_hmac(), mbedtls_internal_sha*_process(),
- mbedtls_internal_md*_process() and mbedtls_internal_ripemd160_process()
- functions to erase sensitive data from memory. Reported by
- Johan Malmgren and Johan Uppman Bruce from Sectra.
- Bugfix
- * Fix an invalid (but nonzero) return code from mbedtls_pk_parse_subpubkey()
- when the input has trailing garbage. Fixes #2512.
- * Fix build failure in configurations where MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is
- enabled but ECDSA is disabled. Contributed by jdurkop. Fixes #3294.
- * Include the psa_constant_names generated source code in the source tree
- instead of generating it at build time. Fixes #3524.
- * Fix rsa_prepare_blinding() to retry when the blinding value is not
- invertible (mod N), instead of returning MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_RNG_FAILED. This
- addresses a regression but is rare in practice (approx. 1 in 2/sqrt(N)).
- Found by Synopsys Coverity, fix contributed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin).
- Fixes #3647.
- * Use socklen_t on Android and other POSIX-compliant system
- * Fix the build when the macro _GNU_SOURCE is defined to a non-empty value.
- Fix #3432.
- * Consistently return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT on invalid cipher input
- sizes (instead of PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATE in some cases) to make the
- psa_cipher_* functions compliant with the PSA Crypto API specification.
- * mbedtls_ecp_curve_list() now lists Curve25519 and Curve448 under the names
- "x25519" and "x448". These curves support ECDH but not ECDSA. If you need
- only the curves that support ECDSA, filter the list with
- mbedtls_ecdsa_can_do().
- * Fix psa_generate_key() returning an error when asked to generate
- an ECC key pair on Curve25519 or secp244k1.
- * Fix psa_key_derivation_output_key() to allow the output of a combined key
- agreement and subsequent key derivation operation to be used as a key
- inside of the PSA Crypto core.
- * Fix handling of EOF against 0xff bytes and on platforms with unsigned
- chars. Fixes a build failure on platforms where char is unsigned. Fixes
- #3794.
- * Fix an off-by-one error in the additional data length check for
- CCM, which allowed encryption with a non-standard length field.
- Fixes #3719.
- * Correct the default IV size for mbedtls_cipher_info_t structures using
- MBEDTLS_MODE_ECB to 0, since ECB mode ciphers don't use IVs.
- * Make arc4random_buf available on NetBSD and OpenBSD when _POSIX_C_SOURCE is
- defined. Fix contributed in #3571.
- * Fix conditions for including string.h in error.c. Fixes #3866.
- * psa_set_key_id() now also sets the lifetime to persistent for keys located
- in a secure element.
- * Attempting to create a volatile key with a non-zero key identifier now
- fails. Previously the key identifier was just ignored when creating a
- volatile key.
- * Attempting to create or register a key with a key identifier in the vendor
- range now fails.
- * Fix build failures on GCC 11. Fixes #3782.
- * Add missing arguments of debug message in mbedtls_ssl_decrypt_buf.
- * Fix a memory leak in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() when the result was negative
- (an error condition) and the second operand was aliased to the result.
- * Fix a case in elliptic curve arithmetic where an out-of-memory condition
- could go undetected, resulting in an incorrect result.
- * In CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG, don't reset the reseed interval in seed().
- Fixes #2927.
- * In PEM writing functions, fill the trailing part of the buffer with null
- bytes. This guarantees that the corresponding parsing function can read
- the buffer back, which was the case for mbedtls_x509write_{crt,csr}_pem
- until this property was inadvertently broken in Mbed TLS 2.19.0.
- Fixes #3682.
- * Fix a build failure that occurred with the MBEDTLS_AES_SETKEY_DEC_ALT
- option on. In this configuration key management methods that are required
- for MBEDTLS_CIPHER_MODE_XTS were excluded from the build and made it fail.
- Fixes #3818. Reported by John Stroebel.
- Changes
- * Reduce stack usage significantly during sliding window exponentiation.
- Reported in #3591 and fix contributed in #3592 by Daniel Otte.
- * The PSA persistent storage format is updated to always store the key bits
- attribute. No automatic upgrade path is provided. Previously stored keys
- must be erased, or manually upgraded based on the key storage format
- specification (docs/architecture/mbed-crypto-storage-specification.md).
- Fixes #3740.
- * Remove the zeroization of a pointer variable in AES rounds. It was valid
- but spurious and misleading since it looked like a mistaken attempt to
- zeroize the pointed-to buffer. Reported by Antonio de la Piedra, CEA
- Leti, France.
- = mbed TLS 2.24.0 branch released 2020-09-01
- API changes
- * In the PSA API, rename the types of elliptic curve and Diffie-Hellman
- group families to psa_ecc_family_t and psa_dh_family_t, in line with the
- PSA Crypto API specification version 1.0.0.
- Rename associated macros as well:
- PSA_ECC_CURVE_xxx renamed to PSA_ECC_FAMILY_xxx
- PSA_DH_GROUP_xxx renamed to PSA_DH_FAMILY_xxx
- PSA_KEY_TYPE_GET_CURVE renamed to to PSA_KEY_TYPE_ECC_GET_FAMILY
- PSA_KEY_TYPE_GET_GROUP renamed to PSA_KEY_TYPE_DH_GET_FAMILY
- Default behavior changes
- * Stop storing persistent information about externally stored keys created
- through PSA Crypto with a volatile lifetime. Reported in #3288 and
- contributed by Steven Cooreman in #3382.
- Features
- * The new function mbedtls_ecp_write_key() exports private ECC keys back to
- a byte buffer. It is the inverse of the existing mbedtls_ecp_read_key().
- * Support building on e2k (Elbrus) architecture: correctly enable
- -Wformat-signedness, and fix the code that causes signed-one-bit-field
- and sign-compare warnings. Contributed by makise-homura (Igor Molchanov)
- <[email protected]>.
- Security
- * Fix a vulnerability in the verification of X.509 certificates when
- matching the expected common name (the cn argument of
- mbedtls_x509_crt_verify()) with the actual certificate name: when the
- subjecAltName extension is present, the expected name was compared to any
- name in that extension regardless of its type. This means that an
- attacker could for example impersonate a 4-bytes or 16-byte domain by
- getting a certificate for the corresponding IPv4 or IPv6 (this would
- require the attacker to control that IP address, though). Similar attacks
- using other subjectAltName name types might be possible. Found and
- reported by kFYatek in #3498.
- * When checking X.509 CRLs, a certificate was only considered as revoked if
- its revocationDate was in the past according to the local clock if
- available. In particular, on builds without MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE,
- certificates were never considered as revoked. On builds with
- MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE, an attacker able to control the local clock (for
- example, an untrusted OS attacking a secure enclave) could prevent
- revocation of certificates via CRLs. Fixed by no longer checking the
- revocationDate field, in accordance with RFC 5280. Reported by
- yuemonangong in #3340. Reported independently and fixed by
- Raoul Strackx and Jethro Beekman in #3433.
- * In (D)TLS record decryption, when using a CBC ciphersuites without the
- Encrypt-then-Mac extension, use constant code flow memory access patterns
- to extract and check the MAC. This is an improvement to the existing
- countermeasure against Lucky 13 attacks. The previous countermeasure was
- effective against network-based attackers, but less so against local
- attackers. The new countermeasure defends against local attackers, even
- if they have access to fine-grained measurements. In particular, this
- fixes a local Lucky 13 cache attack found and reported by Tuba Yavuz,
- Farhaan Fowze, Ken (Yihan) Bai, Grant Hernandez, and Kevin Butler
- (University of Florida) and Dave Tian (Purdue University).
- * Fix side channel in RSA private key operations and static (finite-field)
- Diffie-Hellman. An adversary with precise enough timing and memory access
- information (typically an untrusted operating system attacking a secure
- enclave) could bypass an existing counter-measure (base blinding) and
- potentially fully recover the private key.
- * Fix a 1-byte buffer overread in mbedtls_x509_crl_parse_der().
- Credit to OSS-Fuzz for detecting the problem and to Philippe Antoine
- for pinpointing the problematic code.
- * Zeroising of plaintext buffers in mbedtls_ssl_read() to erase unused
- application data from memory. Reported in #689 by
- Johan Uppman Bruce of Sectra.
- Bugfix
- * Library files installed after a CMake build no longer have execute
- permission.
- * Use local labels in mbedtls_padlock_has_support() to fix an invalid symbol
- redefinition if the function is inlined.
- Reported in #3451 and fix contributed in #3452 by okhowang.
- * Fix the endianness of Curve25519 keys imported/exported through the PSA
- APIs. psa_import_key and psa_export_key will now correctly expect/output
- Montgomery keys in little-endian as defined by RFC7748. Contributed by
- Steven Cooreman in #3425.
- * Fix build errors when the only enabled elliptic curves are Montgomery
- curves. Raised by signpainter in #941 and by Taiki-San in #1412. This
- also fixes missing declarations reported by Steven Cooreman in #1147.
- * Fix self-test failure when the only enabled short Weierstrass elliptic
- curve is secp192k1. Fixes #2017.
- * PSA key import will now correctly import a Curve25519/Curve448 public key
- instead of erroring out. Contributed by Steven Cooreman in #3492.
- * Use arc4random_buf on NetBSD instead of rand implementation with cyclical
- lower bits. Fix contributed in #3540.
- * Fix a memory leak in mbedtls_md_setup() when using HMAC under low memory
- conditions. Reported and fix suggested by Guido Vranken in #3486.
- * Fix bug in redirection of unit test outputs on platforms where stdout is
- defined as a macro. First reported in #2311 and fix contributed in #3528.
- Changes
- * Only pass -Wformat-signedness to versions of GCC that support it. Reported
- in #3478 and fix contributed in #3479 by okhowang.
- * Reduce the stack consumption of mbedtls_x509write_csr_der() which
- previously could lead to stack overflow on constrained devices.
- Contributed by Doru Gucea and Simon Leet in #3464.
- * Undefine the ASSERT macro before defining it locally, in case it is defined
- in a platform header. Contributed by Abdelatif Guettouche in #3557.
- * Update copyright notices to use Linux Foundation guidance. As a result,
- the copyright of contributors other than Arm is now acknowledged, and the
- years of publishing are no longer tracked in the source files. This also
- eliminates the need for the lines declaring the files to be part of
- MbedTLS. Fixes #3457.
- * Add the command line parameter key_pwd to the ssl_client2 and ssl_server2
- example applications which allows to provide a password for the key file
- specified through the existing key_file argument. This allows the use of
- these applications with password-protected key files. Analogously but for
- ssl_server2 only, add the command line parameter key_pwd2 which allows to
- set a password for the key file provided through the existing key_file2
- argument.
- = mbed TLS 2.23.0 branch released 2020-07-01
- Default behavior changes
- * In the experimental PSA secure element interface, change the encoding of
- key lifetimes to encode a persistence level and the location. Although C
- prototypes do not effectively change, code calling
- psa_register_se_driver() must be modified to pass the driver's location
- instead of the keys' lifetime. If the library is upgraded on an existing
- device, keys created with the old lifetime value will not be readable or
- removable through Mbed TLS after the upgrade.
- Features
- * New functions in the error module return constant strings for
- high- and low-level error codes, complementing mbedtls_strerror()
- which constructs a string for any error code, including compound
- ones, but requires a writable buffer. Contributed by Gaurav Aggarwal
- in #3176.
- * The new utility programs/ssl/ssl_context_info prints a human-readable
- dump of an SSL context saved with mbedtls_ssl_context_save().
- * Add support for midipix, a POSIX layer for Microsoft Windows.
- * Add new mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() routine which allows
- parsing unsupported certificate extensions via user provided callback.
- Contributed by Nicola Di Lieto <[email protected]> in #3243 as
- a solution to #3241.
- * Pass the "certificate policies" extension to the callback supplied to
- mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() if it contains unsupported
- policies (#3419).
- * Added support to entropy_poll for the kern.arandom syscall supported on
- some BSD systems. Contributed by Nia Alarie in #3423.
- * Add support for Windows 2000 in net_sockets. Contributed by opatomic. #3239
- Security
- * Fix a side channel vulnerability in modular exponentiation that could
- reveal an RSA private key used in a secure enclave. Noticed by Sangho Lee,
- Ming-Wei Shih, Prasun Gera, Taesoo Kim and Hyesoon Kim (Georgia Institute
- of Technology); and Marcus Peinado (Microsoft Research). Reported by Raoul
- Strackx (Fortanix) in #3394.
- * Fix side channel in mbedtls_ecp_check_pub_priv() and
- mbedtls_pk_parse_key() / mbedtls_pk_parse_keyfile() (when loading a
- private key that didn't include the uncompressed public key), as well as
- mbedtls_ecp_mul() / mbedtls_ecp_mul_restartable() when called with a NULL
- f_rng argument. An attacker with access to precise enough timing and
- memory access information (typically an untrusted operating system
- attacking a secure enclave) could fully recover the ECC private key.
- Found and reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Brumley.
- * Fix issue in Lucky 13 counter-measure that could make it ineffective when
- hardware accelerators were used (using one of the MBEDTLS_SHAxxx_ALT
- macros). This would cause the original Lucky 13 attack to be possible in
- those configurations, allowing an active network attacker to recover
- plaintext after repeated timing measurements under some conditions.
- Reported and fix suggested by Luc Perneel in #3246.
- Bugfix
- * Fix the Visual Studio Release x64 build configuration for mbedtls itself.
- Completes a previous fix in Mbed TLS 2.19 that only fixed the build for
- the example programs. Reported in #1430 and fix contributed by irwir.
- * Fix undefined behavior in X.509 certificate parsing if the
- pathLenConstraint basic constraint value is equal to INT_MAX.
- The actual effect with almost every compiler is the intended
- behavior, so this is unlikely to be exploitable anywhere. #3192
- * Fix issue with a detected HW accelerated record error not being exposed
- due to shadowed variable. Contributed by Sander Visser in #3310.
- * Avoid NULL pointer dereferencing if mbedtls_ssl_free() is called with a
- NULL pointer argument. Contributed by Sander Visser in #3312.
- * Fix potential linker errors on dual world platforms by inlining
- mbedtls_gcc_group_to_psa(). This allows the pk.c module to link separately
- from psa_crypto.c. Fixes #3300.
- * Remove dead code in X.509 certificate parsing. Contributed by irwir in
- #2855.
- * Include asn1.h in error.c. Fixes #3328 reported by David Hu.
- * Fix potential memory leaks in ecp_randomize_jac() and ecp_randomize_mxz()
- when PRNG function fails. Contributed by Jonas Lejeune in #3318.
- * Remove unused macros from MSVC projects. Reported in #3297 and fix
- submitted in #3333 by irwir.
- * Add additional bounds checks in ssl_write_client_hello() preventing
- output buffer overflow if the configuration declared a buffer that was
- too small.
- * Set _POSIX_C_SOURCE to at least 200112L in C99 code. Reported in #3420 and
- fix submitted in #3421 by Nia Alarie.
- * Fix building library/net_sockets.c and the ssl_mail_client program on
- NetBSD. Contributed by Nia Alarie in #3422.
- * Fix false positive uninitialised variable reported by cpp-check.
- Contributed by Sander Visser in #3311.
- * Update iv and len context pointers manually when reallocating buffers
- using the MBEDTLS_SSL_VARIABLE_BUFFER_LENGTH feature. This caused issues
- when receiving a connection with CID, when these fields were shifted
- in ssl_parse_record_header().
- Changes
- * Fix warnings about signedness issues in format strings. The build is now
- clean of -Wformat-signedness warnings. Contributed by Kenneth Soerensen
- in #3153.
- * Fix minor performance issue in operations on Curve25519 caused by using a
- suboptimal modular reduction in one place. Found and fix contributed by
- Aurelien Jarno in #3209.
- * Combine identical cases in switch statements in md.c. Contributed
- by irwir in #3208.
- * Simplify a bounds check in ssl_write_certificate_request(). Contributed
- by irwir in #3150.
- * Unify the example programs termination to call mbedtls_exit() instead of
- using a return command. This has been done to enable customization of the
- behavior in bare metal environments.
- * Fix mbedtls_x509_dn_gets to escape non-ASCII characters as "?".
- Contributed by Koh M. Nakagawa in #3326.
- * Use FindPython3 when cmake version >= 3.15.0
- * Abort the ClientHello writing function as soon as some extension doesn't
- fit into the record buffer. Previously, such extensions were silently
- dropped. As a consequence, the TLS handshake now fails when the output
- buffer is not large enough to hold the ClientHello.
- * The unit tests now rely on header files in tests/include/test and source
- files in tests/src. When building with make or cmake, the files in
- tests/src are compiled and the resulting object linked into each test
- executable.
- * The ECP module, enabled by `MBEDTLS_ECP_C`, now depends on
- `MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_C` or `MBEDTLS_HMAC_DRBG_C` for some side-channel
- coutermeasures. If side channels are not a concern, this dependency can
- be avoided by enabling the new option `MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_INTERNAL_RNG`.
- * Align MSVC error flag with GCC and Clang. Contributed by Carlos Gomes
- Martinho. #3147
- * Remove superfluous assignment in mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate(). Reported
- in #3182 and fix submitted by irwir. #3217
- * Fix typo in XTS tests. Reported and fix submitted by Kxuan. #3319
- = mbed TLS 2.22.0 branch released 2020-04-14
- New deprecations
- * Deprecate MBEDTLS_SSL_HW_RECORD_ACCEL that enables function hooks in the
- SSL module for hardware acceleration of individual records.
- * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len() in favour of
- mbedtls_ssl_get_output_max_frag_len() and
- mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() to be more precise about which max
- fragment length is desired.
- Security
- * Fix issue in DTLS handling of new associations with the same parameters
- (RFC 6347 section 4.2.8): an attacker able to send forged UDP packets to
- the server could cause it to drop established associations with
- legitimate clients, resulting in a Denial of Service. This could only
- happen when MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE was enabled in config.h
- (which it is by default).
- * Fix side channel in ECC code that allowed an adversary with access to
- precise enough timing and memory access information (typically an
- untrusted operating system attacking a secure enclave) to fully recover
- an ECDSA private key. Found and reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya,
- Billy Brumley and Cesar Pereida Garcia. CVE-2020-10932
- * Fix a potentially remotely exploitable buffer overread in a
- DTLS client when parsing the Hello Verify Request message.
- Features
- * The new build option MBEDTLS_SSL_VARIABLE_BUFFER_LENGTH automatically
- resizes the I/O buffers before and after handshakes, reducing the memory
- consumption during application data transfer.
- Bugfix
- * Fix compilation failure when both MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_DTLS and
- MBEDTLS_SSL_HW_RECORD_ACCEL are enabled.
- * Remove a spurious check in ssl_parse_client_psk_identity that triggered
- a warning with some compilers. Fix contributed by irwir in #2856.
- * Fix a function name in a debug message. Contributed by Ercan Ozturk in
- #3013.
- Changes
- * Mbed Crypto is no longer a Git submodule. The crypto part of the library
- is back directly in the present repository.
- * Split mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len() into
- mbedtls_ssl_get_output_max_frag_len() and
- mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() to ensure that a sufficient input
- buffer is allocated by the server (if MBEDTLS_SSL_VARIABLE_BUFFER_LENGTH
- is defined), regardless of what MFL was configured for it.
- = mbed TLS 2.21.0 branch released 2020-02-20
- New deprecations
- * Deprecate MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_SUPPORT_SSLV2_CLIENT_HELLO that enables parsing
- SSLv2 ClientHello messages.
- * Deprecate MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_SSL3 that enables support for SSLv3.
- * Deprecate for MBEDTLS_PKCS11_C, the wrapper around the pkcs11-helper
- library which allows TLS authentication to use keys stored in a
- PKCS#11 token such as a smartcard.
- Security
- * Fix potential memory overread when performing an ECDSA signature
- operation. The overread only happens with cryptographically low
- probability (of the order of 2^-n where n is the bitsize of the curve)
- unless the RNG is broken, and could result in information disclosure or
- denial of service (application crash or extra resource consumption).
- Found by Auke Zeilstra and Peter Schwabe, using static analysis.
- * To avoid a side channel vulnerability when parsing an RSA private key,
- read all the CRT parameters from the DER structure rather than
- reconstructing them. Found by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Bob
- Brumley. Reported and fix contributed by Jack Lloyd.
- ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#352
- Features
- * The new build option MBEDTLS_SHA512_NO_SHA384 allows building SHA-512
- support without SHA-384.
- API changes
- * Change the encoding of key types and curves in the PSA API. The new
- values are aligned with the upcoming release of the PSA Crypto API
- specification version 1.0.0. The main change which may break some
- existing code is that elliptic curve key types no longer encode the
- exact curve: a psa_ecc_curve_t or psa_key_type_t value only encodes
- a curve family and the key size determines the exact curve (for example,
- PSA_ECC_CURVE_SECP_R1 with 256 bits is P256R1). ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#330
- Bugfix
- * Fix an unchecked call to mbedtls_md() in the x509write module.
- * Fix build failure with MBEDTLS_ZLIB_SUPPORT enabled. Reported by
- Jack Lloyd in #2859. Fix submitted by jiblime in #2963.
- * Fix some false-positive uninitialized variable warnings in X.509. Fix
- contributed by apple-ihack-geek in #2663.
- * Fix a possible error code mangling in psa_mac_verify_finish() when
- a cryptographic accelerator fails. ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#345
- * Fix a bug in mbedtls_pk_parse_key() that would cause it to accept some
- RSA keys that would later be rejected by functions expecting private
- keys. Found by Catena cyber using oss-fuzz (issue 20467).
- * Fix a bug in mbedtls_pk_parse_key() that would cause it to
- accept some RSA keys with invalid values by silently fixing those values.
- = mbed TLS 2.20.0 branch released 2020-01-15
- Default behavior changes
- * The initial seeding of a CTR_DRBG instance makes a second call to the
- entropy function to obtain entropy for a nonce if the entropy size is less
- than 3/2 times the key size. In case you want to disable the extra call to
- grab entropy, you can call mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len() to force the
- nonce length to 0.
- Security
- * Enforce that mbedtls_entropy_func() gathers a total of
- MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_BLOCK_SIZE bytes or more from strong sources. In the
- default configuration, on a platform with a single entropy source, the
- entropy module formerly only grabbed 32 bytes, which is good enough for
- security if the source is genuinely strong, but less than the expected 64
- bytes (size of the entropy accumulator).
- * Zeroize local variables in mbedtls_internal_aes_encrypt() and
- mbedtls_internal_aes_decrypt() before exiting the function. The value of
- these variables can be used to recover the last round key. To follow best
- practice and to limit the impact of buffer overread vulnerabilities (like
- Heartbleed) we need to zeroize them before exiting the function.
- Issue reported by Tuba Yavuz, Farhaan Fowze, Ken (Yihang) Bai,
- Grant Hernandez, and Kevin Butler (University of Florida) and
- Dave Tian (Purdue University).
- * Fix side channel vulnerability in ECDSA. Our bignum implementation is not
- constant time/constant trace, so side channel attacks can retrieve the
- blinded value, factor it (as it is smaller than RSA keys and not guaranteed
- to have only large prime factors), and then, by brute force, recover the
- key. Reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Brumley.
- * Fix side channel vulnerability in ECDSA key generation. Obtaining precise
- timings on the comparison in the key generation enabled the attacker to
- learn leading bits of the ephemeral key used during ECDSA signatures and to
- recover the private key. Reported by Jeremy Dubeuf.
- * Catch failure of AES functions in mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random(). Uncaught
- failures could happen with alternative implementations of AES. Bug
- reported and fix proposed by Johan Uppman Bruce and Christoffer Lauri,
- Sectra.
- Features
- * Key derivation inputs in the PSA API can now either come from a key object
- or from a buffer regardless of the step type.
- * The CTR_DRBG module can grab a nonce from the entropy source during the
- initial seeding. The default nonce length is chosen based on the key size
- to achieve the security strength defined by NIST SP 800-90A. You can
- change it with mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len().
- * Add ENUMERATED tag support to the ASN.1 module. Contributed by
- msopiha-linaro in ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#307.
- API changes
- * In the PSA API, forbid zero-length keys. To pass a zero-length input to a
- key derivation function, use a buffer instead (this is now always
- possible).
- * Rename psa_asymmetric_sign() to psa_sign_hash() and
- psa_asymmetric_verify() to psa_verify_hash().
- Bugfix
- * Fix an incorrect size in a debugging message. Reported and fix
- submitted by irwir. Fixes #2717.
- * Fix an unused variable warning when compiling without DTLS.
- Reported and fix submitted by irwir. Fixes #2800.
- * Remove a useless assignment. Reported and fix submitted by irwir.
- Fixes #2801.
- * Fix a buffer overflow in the PSA HMAC code when using a long key with an
- unsupported algorithm. Fixes ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#254.
- * Fix mbedtls_asn1_get_int to support any number of leading zeros. Credit
- to OSS-Fuzz for finding a bug in an intermediate version of the fix.
- * Fix mbedtls_asn1_get_bitstring_null to correctly parse bitstrings of at
- most 2 bytes.
- * mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_entropy_len() and
- mbedtls_hmac_drbg_set_entropy_len() now work if you call them before
- mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed() or mbedtls_hmac_drbg_seed().
- Changes
- * Remove the technical possibility to define custom mbedtls_md_info
- structures, which was exposed only in an internal header.
- * psa_close_key(0) and psa_destroy_key(0) now succeed (doing nothing, as
- before).
- * Variables containing error codes are now initialized to an error code
- rather than success, so that coding mistakes or memory corruption tends to
- cause functions to return this error code rather than a success. There are
- no known instances where this changes the behavior of the library: this is
- merely a robustness improvement. ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#323
- * Remove a useless call to mbedtls_ecp_group_free(). Contributed by
- Alexander Krizhanovsky in ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#210.
- * Speed up PBKDF2 by caching the digest calculation. Contributed by Jack
- Lloyd and Fortanix Inc in ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#277.

- Contributed by Zachary J. Fields in PR #2949.
- * Add nss_keylog to ssl_client2 and ssl_server2, enabling easier analysis of
- TLS sessions with tools like Wireshark.
- API Changes
- * Make client_random and server_random const in
- mbedtls_ssl_export_keys_ext_t, so that the key exporter is discouraged
- from modifying the client/server hello.
- Bugfix
- * Fix some false-positive uninitialized variable warnings in crypto. Fix
- contributed by apple-ihack-geek in #2663.
- = mbed TLS 2.19.0 branch released 2019-09-06
- Security
- * Fix a missing error detection in ECJPAKE. This could have caused a
- predictable shared secret if a hardware accelerator failed and the other
- side of the key exchange had a similar bug.
- * When writing a private EC key, use a constant size for the private
- value, as specified in RFC 5915. Previously, the value was written
- as an ASN.1 INTEGER, which caused the size of the key to leak
- about 1 bit of information on average and could cause the value to be
- 1 byte too large for the output buffer.
- * The deterministic ECDSA calculation reused the scheme's HMAC-DRBG to
- implement blinding. Because of this for the same key and message the same
- blinding value was generated. This reduced the effectiveness of the
- countermeasure and leaked information about the private key through side
- channels. Reported by Jack Lloyd.
- Features
- * Add new API functions mbedtls_ssl_session_save() and
- mbedtls_ssl_session_load() to allow serializing a session, for example to
- store it in non-volatile storage, and later using it for TLS session
- resumption.
- * Add a new API function mbedtls_ssl_check_record() to allow checking that
- an incoming record is valid, authentic and has not been seen before. This
- feature can be used alongside Connection ID and SSL context serialisation.
- The feature is enabled at compile-time by MBEDTLS_SSL_RECORD_CHECKING
- option.
- * New implementation of X25519 (ECDH using Curve25519) from Project Everest
- (https://project-everest.github.io/). It can be enabled at compile time
- with MBEDTLS_ECDH_VARIANT_EVEREST_ENABLED. This implementation is formally
- verified and significantly faster, but is only supported on x86 platforms
- (32-bit and 64-bit) using GCC, Clang or Visual Studio. Contributed by
- Christoph Wintersteiger from Microsoft Research.
- * Add mbedtls_net_close(), enabling the building of forking servers where
- the parent process closes the client socket and continue accepting, and
- the child process closes the listening socket and handles the client
- socket. Contributed by Robert Larsen in #2803.
- API Changes
- * Add DER-encoded test CRTs to library/certs.c, allowing
- the example programs ssl_server2 and ssl_client2 to be run
- if MBEDTLS_FS_IO and MBEDTLS_PEM_PARSE_C are unset. Fixes #2254.
- * The HAVEGE state type now uses uint32_t elements instead of int.
- * The functions mbedtls_ecp_curve_list() and mbedtls_ecp_grp_id_list() now
- list all curves for which at least one of ECDH or ECDSA is supported, not
- just curves for which both are supported. Call mbedtls_ecdsa_can_do() or
- mbedtls_ecdh_can_do() on each result to check whether each algorithm is
- supported.
- * The new function mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det_ext() is similar to
- mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det() but allows passing an external RNG for the
- purpose of blinding.
- New deprecations
- * Deprecate mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det() in favor of a functions that can take an
- RNG function as an input.
- * Calling mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature() with NULL as the f_rng argument
- is now deprecated.
- Bugfix
- * Fix missing bounds checks in X.509 parsing functions that could
- lead to successful parsing of ill-formed X.509 CRTs. Fixes #2437.
- * Fix multiple X.509 functions previously returning ASN.1 low-level error
- codes to always wrap these codes into X.509 high level error codes before
- returning. Fixes #2431.
- * Fix to allow building test suites with any warning that detects unused
- functions. Fixes #1628.
- * Fix typo in net_would_block(). Fixes #528 reported by github-monoculture.
- * Remove redundant include file in timing.c. Fixes #2640 reported by irwir.
- * Fix build failure when building with mingw on Windows by including
- stdarg.h where needed. Fixes #2656.
- * Fix Visual Studio Release x64 build configuration by inheriting
- PlatformToolset from the project configuration. Fixes #1430 reported by
- irwir.
- * Enable Suite B with subset of ECP curves. Make sure the code compiles even
- if some curves are not defined. Fixes #1591 reported by dbedev.
- * Fix misuse of signed arithmetic in the HAVEGE module. #2598
- * Avoid use of statically sized stack buffers for certificate writing.
- This previously limited the maximum size of DER encoded certificates
- in mbedtls_x509write_crt_der() to 2Kb. Reported by soccerGB in #2631.
- * Fix partial zeroing in x509_get_other_name. Found and fixed by ekse, #2716.
- * Update test certificates that were about to expire. Reported by
- Bernhard M. Wiedemann in #2357.
- * Fix the build on ARMv5TE in ARM mode to not use assembly instructions
- that are only available in Thumb mode. Fix contributed by Aurelien Jarno
- in #2169.
- * Fix propagation of restart contexts in restartable EC operations.
- This could previously lead to segmentation faults in builds using an
- address-sanitizer and enabling but not using MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE.
- * Fix memory leak in in mpi_miller_rabin(). Contributed by
- Jens Wiklander <[email protected]> in #2363
- * Improve code clarity in x509_crt module, removing false-positive
- uninitialized variable warnings on some recent toolchains (GCC8, etc).
- Discovered and fixed by Andy Gross (Linaro), #2392.
- * Fix bug in endianness conversion in bignum module. This lead to
- functionally incorrect code on bigendian systems which don't have
- __BYTE_ORDER__ defined. Reported by Brendan Shanks. Fixes #2622.
- Changes
- * Replace multiple uses of MD2 by SHA-256 in X.509 test suite. Fixes #821.
- * Make it easier to define MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED as assert (which config.h
- suggests). #2671
- * Make `make clean` clean all programs always. Fixes #1862.
- * Add a Dockerfile and helper scripts (all-in-docker.sh, basic-in-docker.sh,
- docker-env.sh) to simplify running test suites on a Linux host. Contributed
- by Peter Kolbus (Garmin).
- * Add `reproducible` option to `ssl_client2` and `ssl_server2` to enable
- test runs without variability. Contributed by Philippe Antoine (Catena
- cyber) in #2681.
- * Extended .gitignore to ignore Visual Studio artifacts. Fixed by ConfusedSushi.
- * Adds fuzz targets, especially for continuous fuzzing with OSS-Fuzz.
- Contributed by Philippe Antoine (Catena cyber).
- * Remove the crypto part of the library from Mbed TLS. The crypto

- Features
- * Add the Any Policy certificate policy oid, as defined in
- rfc 5280 section 4.2.1.4.
- * It is now possible to use NIST key wrap mode via the mbedtls_cipher API.
- Contributed by Jack Lloyd and Fortanix Inc.
- * Add the Wi-SUN Field Area Network (FAN) device extended key usage.
- * Add the oid certificate policy x509 extension.
- * It is now possible to perform RSA PKCS v1.5 signatures with RIPEMD-160 digest.
- Contributed by Jack Lloyd and Fortanix Inc.
- * Extend the MBEDTLS_SSL_EXPORT_KEYS to export the handshake randbytes,
- and the used tls-prf.
- * Add public API for tls-prf function, according to requested enum.
- * Add support for parsing otherName entries in the Subject Alternative Name
- X.509 certificate extension, specifically type hardware module name,
- as defined in RFC 4108 section 5.
- * Add support for parsing certificate policies extension, as defined in
- RFC 5280 section 4.2.1.4. Currently, only the "Any Policy" policy is
- supported.
- * List all SAN types in the subject_alt_names field of the certificate.
- Resolves #459.
- * Add support for draft-05 of the Connection ID extension, as specified
- in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-dtls-connection-id-05.
- The Connection ID extension allows to keep DTLS connections beyond the
- lifetime of the underlying transport by adding a connection identifier
- to the DTLS record header. This identifier can be used to associated an
- incoming record with the correct connection data even after the peer has
- changed its IP or port. The feature is enabled at compile-time by setting
- MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID (disabled by default), and at run-time
- through the new APIs mbedtls_ssl_conf_cid() and mbedtls_ssl_set_cid().
- API Changes
- * Extend the MBEDTLS_SSL_EXPORT_KEYS to export the handshake randbytes,
- and the used tls-prf.
- * Add public API for tls-prf function, according to requested enum.
- Bugfix
- * Fix private key DER output in the key_app_writer example. File contents
- were shifted by one byte, creating an invalid ASN.1 tag. Fixed by
- Christian Walther in #2239.
- * Fix potential memory leak in X.509 self test. Found and fixed by
- Junhwan Park, #2106.
- * Reduce stack usage of hkdf tests. Fixes #2195.
- * Fix 1-byte buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_write_string() when
- used with negative inputs. Found by Guido Vranken in #2404. Credit to
- OSS-Fuzz.
- * Fix bugs in the AEAD test suite which would be exposed by ciphers which
- either used both encrypt and decrypt key schedules, or which perform padding.
- GCM and CCM were not affected. Fixed by Jack Lloyd.
- * Fix incorrect default port number in ssl_mail_client example's usage.
- Found and fixed by irwir. #2337
- * Add psa_util.h to test/cpp_dummy_build to fix build_default_make_gcc_and_cxx.
- Fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin). #2579
- * Add missing parentheses around parameters in the definition of the
- public macro MBEDTLS_X509_ID_FLAG. This could lead to invalid evaluation
- in case operators binding less strongly than subtraction were used
- for the parameter.
- * Add a check for MBEDTLS_X509_CRL_PARSE_C in ssl_server2, guarding the crl
- sni entry parameter. Reported by inestlerode in #560.
- * Set the next sequence of the subject_alt_name to NULL when deleting
- sequence on failure. Found and fix suggested by Philippe Antoine.
- Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
- Changes
- * Server's RSA certificate in certs.c was SHA-1 signed. In the default
- mbedTLS configuration only SHA-2 signed certificates are accepted.
- This certificate is used in the demo server programs, which lead the
- client programs to fail at the peer's certificate verification
- due to an unacceptable hash signature. The certificate has been
- updated to one that is SHA-256 signed. Fix contributed by
- Illya Gerasymchuk.
- * Return from various debugging routines immediately if the
- provided SSL context is unset.
- * Remove dead code from bignum.c in the default configuration.
- Found by Coverity, reported and fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin). Fixes #2309.
- * Add test for minimal value of MBEDTLS_MPI_WINDOW_SIZE to all.sh.
- Contributed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin).
- * Change wording in the `mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_frag_len()`'s documentation to
- improve clarity. Fixes #2258.
- = mbed TLS 2.17.0 branch released 2019-03-19
- Features
- * Add a new X.509 API call `mbedtls_x509_parse_der_nocopy()`
- which allows copy-less parsing of DER encoded X.509 CRTs,
- at the cost of additional lifetime constraints on the input
- buffer, but at the benefit of reduced RAM consumption.
- * Add a new function mbedtls_asn1_write_named_bitstring() to write ASN.1
- named bitstring in DER as required by RFC 5280 Appendix B.
- * Add MBEDTLS_REMOVE_3DES_CIPHERSUITES to allow removing 3DES ciphersuites
- from the default list (enabled by default). See
- https://sweet32.info/SWEET32_CCS16.pdf.
- API Changes
- * Add a new X.509 API call `mbedtls_x509_parse_der_nocopy()`.
- See the Features section for more information.
- * Allow to opt in to the removal the API mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()
- for the benefit of saving RAM, by disabling the new compile-time
- option MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE (enabled by default for
- API stability). Disabling this option makes mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()
- always return NULL, and removes the peer_cert field from the
- mbedtls_ssl_session structure which otherwise stores the peer's
- certificate.
- Security
- * Make mbedtls_ecdh_get_params return an error if the second key
- belongs to a different group from the first. Before, if an application
- passed keys that belonged to different group, the first key's data was
- interpreted according to the second group, which could lead to either
- an error or a meaningless output from mbedtls_ecdh_get_params. In the
- latter case, this could expose at most 5 bits of the private key.
- Bugfix
- * Fix a compilation issue with mbedtls_ecp_restart_ctx not being defined
- when MBEDTLS_ECP_ALT is defined. Reported by jwhui. Fixes #2242.
- * Run the AD too long test only if MBEDTLS_CCM_ALT is not defined.
- Raised as a comment in #1996.
- * Reduce the stack consumption of mbedtls_mpi_fill_random() which could
- previously lead to a stack overflow on constrained targets.
- * Add `MBEDTLS_SELF_TEST` for the mbedtls_self_test functions
- in the header files, which missed the precompilation check. #971
- * Fix returning the value 1 when mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey failed.
- * Remove a duplicate #include in a sample program. Fixed by Masashi Honma #2326.
- * Remove the mbedtls namespacing from the header file, to fix a "file not found"
- build error. Fixed by Haijun Gu #2319.
- * Fix signed-to-unsigned integer conversion warning
- in X.509 module. Fixes #2212.
- * Reduce stack usage of `mpi_write_hlp()` by eliminating recursion.
- Fixes #2190.
- * Fix false failure in all.sh when backup files exist in include/mbedtls
- (e.g. config.h.bak). Fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin) #2407.
- * Ensure that unused bits are zero when writing ASN.1 bitstrings when using
- mbedtls_asn1_write_bitstring().
- * Fix issue when writing the named bitstrings in KeyUsage and NsCertType
- extensions in CSRs and CRTs that caused these bitstrings to not be encoded
- correctly as trailing zeroes were not accounted for as unused bits in the
- leading content octet. Fixes #1610.
- Changes
- * Reduce RAM consumption during session renegotiation by not storing
- the peer CRT chain and session ticket twice.
- * Include configuration file in all header files that use configuration,
- instead of relying on other header files that they include.
- Inserted as an enhancement for #1371
- * Add support for alternative CSR headers, as used by Microsoft and defined
- in RFC 7468. Found by Michael Ernst. Fixes #767.
- * Correct many misspellings. Fixed by MisterDA #2371.
- * Provide an abstraction of vsnprintf to allow alternative implementations
- for platforms that don't provide it. Based on contributions by Joris Aerts
- and Nathaniel Wesley Filardo.
- * Fix clobber list in MIPS assembly for large integer multiplication.
- Previously, this could lead to functionally incorrect assembly being
- produced by some optimizing compilers, showing up as failures in
- e.g. RSA or ECC signature operations. Reported in #1722, fix suggested
- by Aurelien Jarno and submitted by Jeffrey Martin.
- * Reduce the complexity of the timing tests. They were assuming more than the
- underlying OS actually guarantees.
- * Fix configuration queries in ssl-opt.h. #2030
- * Ensure that ssl-opt.h can be run in OS X. #2029
- * Re-enable certain interoperability tests in ssl-opt.sh which had previously
- been disabled for lack of a sufficiently recent version of GnuTLS on the CI.
- * Ciphersuites based on 3DES now have the lowest priority by default when
- they are enabled.
- = mbed TLS 2.16.0 branch released 2018-12-21
- Features
- * Add a new config.h option of MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS that enables validation
- of parameters in the API. This allows detection of obvious misuses of the
- API, such as passing NULL pointers. The API of existing functions hasn't
- changed, but requirements on parameters have been made more explicit in
- the documentation. See the corresponding API documentation for each
- function to see for which parameter values it is defined. This feature is
- disabled by default. See its API documentation in config.h for additional
- steps you have to take when enabling it.
- API Changes
- * The following functions in the random generator modules have been
- deprecated and replaced as shown below. The new functions change
- the return type from void to int to allow returning error codes when
- using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT for the underlying AES or message digest
- primitive. Fixes #1798.
- mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update() -> mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret()
- mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update() -> mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update_ret()
- * Extend ECDH interface to enable alternative implementations.
- * Deprecate error codes of the form MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx_INVALID_KEY_LENGTH for
- ARIA, CAMELLIA and Blowfish. These error codes will be replaced by
- the more generic per-module error codes MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx_BAD_INPUT_DATA.
- * Additional parameter validation checks have been added for the following
- modules - AES, ARIA, Blowfish, CAMELLIA, CCM, GCM, DHM, ECP, ECDSA, ECDH,
- ECJPAKE, SHA, Chacha20 and Poly1305, cipher, pk, RSA, and MPI.
- Where modules have had parameter validation added, existing parameter
- checks may have changed. Some modules, such as Chacha20 had existing
- parameter validation whereas other modules had little. This has now been
- changed so that the same level of validation is present in all modules, and
- that it is now optional with the MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS flag which by default
- is off. That means that checks which were previously present by default
- will no longer be.
- New deprecations
- * Deprecate mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update
- in favor of functions that can return an error code.
- Bugfix
- * Fix for Clang, which was reporting a warning for the bignum.c inline
- assembly for AMD64 targets creating string literals greater than those
- permitted by the ISO C99 standard. Found by Aaron Jones. Fixes #482.
- * Fix runtime error in `mbedtls_platform_entropy_poll()` when run
- through qemu user emulation. Reported and fix suggested by randombit
- in #1212. Fixes #1212.
- * Fix an unsafe bounds check when restoring an SSL session from a ticket.
- This could lead to a buffer overflow, but only in case ticket authentication
- was broken. Reported and fix suggested by Guido Vranken in #659.
- * Add explicit integer to enumeration type casts to example program
- programs/pkey/gen_key which previously led to compilation failure
- on some toolchains. Reported by phoenixmcallister. Fixes #2170.
- * Fix double initialization of ECC hardware that made some accelerators
- hang.
- * Clarify documentation of mbedtls_ssl_set_own_cert() regarding the absence
- of check for certificate/key matching. Reported by Attila Molnar, #507.
- = mbed TLS 2.15.1 branch released 2018-11-30
- Changes
- * Update the Mbed Crypto submodule to version 0.1.0b2.
- = mbed TLS 2.15.0 branch released 2018-11-23
- Features
- * Add an experimental build option, USE_CRYPTO_SUBMODULE, to enable use of
- Mbed Crypto as the source of the cryptography implementation.
- * Add an experimental configuration option, MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C, to enable
- the PSA Crypto API from Mbed Crypto when additionally used with the
- USE_CRYPTO_SUBMODULE build option.
- Changes
- * Add unit tests for AES-GCM when called through mbedtls_cipher_auth_xxx()
- from the cipher abstraction layer. Fixes #2198.
- = mbed TLS 2.14.1 branch released 2018-11-30
- Security
- * Fix timing variations and memory access variations in RSA PKCS#1 v1.5
- decryption that could lead to a Bleichenbacher-style padding oracle
- attack. In TLS, this affects servers that accept ciphersuites based on
- RSA decryption (i.e. ciphersuites whose name contains RSA but not
- (EC)DH(E)). Discovered by Eyal Ronen (Weizmann Institute), Robert Gillham
- (University of Adelaide), Daniel Genkin (University of Michigan),
- Adi Shamir (Weizmann Institute), David Wong (NCC Group), and Yuval Yarom
- (University of Adelaide, Data61). The attack is described in more detail
- in the paper available here: http://cat.eyalro.net/cat.pdf CVE-2018-19608
- * In mbedtls_mpi_write_binary(), don't leak the exact size of the number
- via branching and memory access patterns. An attacker who could submit
- a plaintext for RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 decryption but only observe the timing
- of the decryption and not its result could nonetheless decrypt RSA
- plaintexts and forge RSA signatures. Other asymmetric algorithms may
- have been similarly vulnerable. Reported by Eyal Ronen, Robert Gillham,
- Daniel Genkin, Adi Shamir, David Wong and Yuval Yarom.
- * Wipe sensitive buffers on the stack in the CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG
- modules.
- API Changes
- * The new functions mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret() and
- mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update_ret() are similar to mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update()
- and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update() respectively, but the new functions
- report errors whereas the old functions return void. We recommend that
- applications use the new functions.
- = mbed TLS 2.14.0 branch released 2018-11-19
- Security
- * Fix overly strict DN comparison when looking for CRLs belonging to a
- particular CA. This previously led to ignoring CRLs when the CRL's issuer
- name and the CA's subject name differed in their string encoding (e.g.,
- one using PrintableString and the other UTF8String) or in the choice of
- upper and lower case. Reported by Henrik Andersson of Bosch GmbH in issue
- #1784.
- * Fix a flawed bounds check in server PSK hint parsing. In case the
- incoming message buffer was placed within the first 64KiB of address
- space and a PSK-(EC)DHE ciphersuite was used, this allowed an attacker
- to trigger a memory access up to 64KiB beyond the incoming message buffer,
- potentially leading to an application crash or information disclosure.
- * Fix mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() to use more rounds of probabilistic testing. The
- previous settings for the number of rounds made it practical for an
- adversary to construct non-primes that would be erroneously accepted as
- primes with high probability. This does not have an impact on the
- security of TLS, but can matter in other contexts with numbers chosen
- potentially by an adversary that should be prime and can be validated.
- For example, the number of rounds was enough to securely generate RSA key
- pairs or Diffie-Hellman parameters, but was insufficient to validate
- Diffie-Hellman parameters properly.
- See "Prime and Prejudice" by by Martin R. Albrecht and Jake Massimo and
- Kenneth G. Paterson and Juraj Somorovsky.
- Features
- * Add support for temporarily suspending expensive ECC computations after
- some configurable amount of operations. This is intended to be used in
- constrained, single-threaded systems where ECC is time consuming and can
- block other operations until they complete. This is disabled by default,
- but can be enabled by MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE at compile time and
- configured by mbedtls_ecp_set_max_ops() at runtime. It applies to the new
- xxx_restartable functions in ECP, ECDSA, PK and X.509 (CRL not supported
- yet), and to existing functions in ECDH and SSL (currently only
- implemented client-side, for ECDHE-ECDSA ciphersuites in TLS 1.2,
- including client authentication).
- * Add support for Arm CPU DSP extensions to accelerate asymmetric key
- operations. On CPUs where the extensions are available, they can accelerate
- MPI multiplications used in ECC and RSA cryptography. Contributed by
- Aurelien Jarno.
- * Extend RSASSA-PSS signature to allow a smaller salt size. Previously, PSS
- signature always used a salt with the same length as the hash, and returned
- an error if this was not possible. Now the salt size may be up to two bytes
- shorter. This allows the library to support all hash and signature sizes
- that comply with FIPS 186-4, including SHA-512 with a 1024-bit key.
- * Add support for 128-bit keys in CTR_DRBG. Note that using keys shorter
- than 256 bits limits the security of generated material to 128 bits.
- API Changes
- * Add a common error code of `MBEDTLS_ERR_PLATFORM_FEATURE_UNSUPPORTED` for
- a feature that is not supported by underlying alternative
- implementations implementing cryptographic primitives. This is useful for
- hardware accelerators that don't implement all options or features.
- New deprecations
- * All module specific errors following the form
- MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE that indicate a feature is not
- supported are deprecated and are now replaced by the new equivalent
- platform error.
- * All module specific generic hardware acceleration errors following the
- form MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED that are deprecated and are replaced
- by the equivalent plaform error.
- * Deprecate the function mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() in favor of
- mbedtls_mpi_is_prime_ext() which allows specifying the number of
- Miller-Rabin rounds.
- Bugfix
- * Fix wrong order of freeing in programs/ssl/ssl_server2 example
- application leading to a memory leak in case both
- MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C and MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BACKTRACE are set.
- Fixes #2069.
- * Fix a bug in the update function for SSL ticket keys which previously
- invalidated keys of a lifetime of less than a 1s. Fixes #1968.
- * Fix failure in hmac_drbg in the benchmark sample application, when
- MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is defined. Found by TrinityTonic, #1095
- * Fix a bug in the record decryption routine ssl_decrypt_buf()
- which lead to accepting properly authenticated but improperly
- padded records in case of CBC ciphersuites using Encrypt-then-MAC.
- * Fix memory leak and freeing without initialization in the example
- program programs/x509/cert_write. Fixes #1422.
- * Ignore IV in mbedtls_cipher_set_iv() when the cipher mode is
- MBEDTLS_MODE_ECB. Found by ezdevelop. Fixes #1091.
- * Zeroize memory used for buffering or reassembling handshake messages
- after use.
- * Use `mbedtls_platform_zeroize()` instead of `memset()` for zeroization
- of sensitive data in the example programs aescrypt2 and crypt_and_hash.
- * Change the default string format used for various X.509 DN attributes to
- UTF8String. Previously, the use of the PrintableString format led to
- wildcards and non-ASCII characters being unusable in some DN attributes.
- Reported by raprepo in #1860 and by kevinpt in #468. Fix contributed by
- Thomas-Dee.
- * Fix compilation failure for configurations which use compile time
- replacements of standard calloc/free functions through the macros
- MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_CALLOC_MACRO and MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_FREE_MACRO.
- Reported by ole-de and ddhome2006. Fixes #882, #1642 and #1706.
- Changes
- * Removed support for Yotta as a build tool.
- * Add tests for session resumption in DTLS.
- * Close a test gap in (D)TLS between the client side and the server side:
- test the handling of large packets and small packets on the client side
- in the same way as on the server side.
- * Change the dtls_client and dtls_server samples to work by default over
- IPv6 and optionally by a build option over IPv4.
- * Change the use of Windows threading to use Microsoft Visual C++ runtime
- calls, rather than Win32 API calls directly. This is necessary to avoid
- conflict with C runtime usage. Found and fixed by irwir.
- * Remember the string format of X.509 DN attributes when replicating
- X.509 DNs. Previously, DN attributes were always written in their default
- string format (mostly PrintableString), which could lead to CRTs being
- created which used PrintableStrings in the issuer field even though the
- signing CA used UTF8Strings in its subject field; while X.509 compliant,
- such CRTs were rejected in some applications, e.g. some versions of
- Firefox, curl and GnuTLS. Reported in #1033 by Moschn. Fix contributed by
- Thomas-Dee.
- * Improve documentation of mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result().
- Fixes #517 reported by github-monoculture.
- * Add MBEDTLS_MPI_GEN_PRIME_FLAG_LOW_ERR flag to mbedtls_mpi_gen_prime() and
- use it to reduce error probability in RSA key generation to levels mandated
- by FIPS-186-4.
- = mbed TLS 2.13.1 branch released 2018-09-06
- API Changes
- * Extend the platform module with an abstraction mbedtls_platform_gmtime_r()
- whose implementation should behave as a thread-safe version of gmtime().
- This allows users to configure such an implementation at compile time when
- the target system cannot be deduced automatically, by setting the option
- MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_GMTIME_R_ALT. At this stage Mbed TLS is only able to
- automatically select implementations for Windows and POSIX C libraries.
- Bugfix
- * Fix build failures on platforms where only gmtime() is available but
- neither gmtime_r() nor gmtime_s() are present. Fixes #1907.
- = mbed TLS 2.13.0 branch released 2018-08-31
- Security
- * Fix an issue in the X.509 module which could lead to a buffer overread
- during certificate extensions parsing. In case of receiving malformed
- input (extensions length field equal to 0), an illegal read of one byte
- beyond the input buffer is made. Found and analyzed by Nathan Crandall.
- Features
- * Add support for fragmentation of outgoing DTLS handshake messages. This
- is controlled by the maximum fragment length as set locally or negotiated
- with the peer, as well as by a new per-connection MTU option, set using
- mbedtls_ssl_set_mtu().
- * Add support for auto-adjustment of MTU to a safe value during the
- handshake when flights do not get through (RFC 6347, section 4.1.1.1,
- last paragraph).
- * Add support for packing multiple records within a single datagram,
- enabled by default.
- * Add support for buffering out-of-order handshake messages in DTLS.
- The maximum amount of RAM used for this can be controlled by the
- compile-time constant MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_MAX_BUFFERING defined
- in mbedtls/config.h.
- API Changes
- * Add function mbedtls_ssl_set_datagram_packing() to configure
- the use of datagram packing (enabled by default).
- Bugfix
- * Fix a potential memory leak in mbedtls_ssl_setup() function. An allocation
- failure in the function could lead to other buffers being leaked.
- * Fixes an issue with MBEDTLS_CHACHAPOLY_C which would not compile if
- MBEDTLS_ARC4_C and MBEDTLS_CIPHER_NULL_CIPHER weren't also defined. #1890
- * Fix a memory leak in ecp_mul_comb() if ecp_precompute_comb() fails.
- Fix contributed by Espressif Systems.
- * Add ecc extensions only if an ecc based ciphersuite is used.
- This improves compliance to RFC 4492, and as a result, solves
- interoperability issues with BouncyCastle. Raised by milenamil in #1157.
- * Replace printf with mbedtls_printf in the ARIA module. Found by
- TrinityTonic in #1908.
- * Fix potential use-after-free in mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len()
- and mbedtls_ssl_get_record_expansion() after a session reset. Fixes #1941.
- * Fix a bug that caused SSL/TLS clients to incorrectly abort the handshake
- with TLS versions 1.1 and earlier when the server requested authentication
- without providing a list of CAs. This was due to an overly strict bounds
- check in parsing the CertificateRequest message,
- introduced in Mbed TLS 2.12.0. Fixes #1954.
- * Fix a miscalculation of the maximum record expansion in
- mbedtls_ssl_get_record_expansion() in case of ChachaPoly ciphersuites,
- or CBC ciphersuites in (D)TLS versions 1.1 or higher. Fixes #1913, #1914.
- * Fix undefined shifts with negative values in certificates parsing
- (found by Catena cyber using oss-fuzz)
- * Fix memory leak and free without initialization in pk_encrypt
- and pk_decrypt example programs. Reported by Brace Stout. Fixes #1128.
- * Remove redundant else statement. Raised by irwir. Fixes #1776.
- Changes
- * Copy headers preserving timestamps when doing a "make install".
- Contributed by xueruini.
- * Allow the forward declaration of public structs. Contributed by Dawid
- Drozd. Fixes #1215 raised by randombit.
- * Improve compatibility with some alternative CCM implementations by using
- CCM test vectors from RAM.
- * Add support for buffering of out-of-order handshake messages.
- * Add warnings to the documentation of the HKDF module to reduce the risk
- of misusing the mbedtls_hkdf_extract() and mbedtls_hkdf_expand()
- functions. Fixes #1775. Reported by Brian J. Murray.
- = mbed TLS 2.12.0 branch released 2018-07-25
- Security
- * Fix a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based on CBC and using SHA-384,
- in (D)TLS 1.0 to 1.2, that allowed an active network attacker to
- partially recover the plaintext of messages under some conditions by
- exploiting timing measurements. With DTLS, the attacker could perform
- this recovery by sending many messages in the same connection. With TLS
- or if mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only
- worked if the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly
- sent over connections manipulated by the attacker. Connections using GCM
- or CCM instead of CBC, using hash sizes other than SHA-384, or using
- Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected. The vulnerability was
- caused by a miscalculation (for SHA-384) in a countermeasure to the
- original Lucky 13 attack. Found by Kenny Paterson, Eyal Ronen and Adi
- Shamir.
- * Fix a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based on CBC, in (D)TLS 1.0 to
- 1.2, that allowed a local attacker, able to execute code on the local
- machine as well as manipulate network packets, to partially recover the
- plaintext of messages under some conditions by using a cache attack
- targeting an internal MD/SHA buffer. With TLS or if
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only worked if
- the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly sent over
- connections manipulated by the attacker. Connections using GCM or CCM
- instead of CBC or using Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected.
- Found by Kenny Paterson, Eyal Ronen and Adi Shamir.
- * Add a counter-measure against a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based
- on CBC, in (D)TLS 1.0 to 1.2, that allowed a local attacker, able to
- execute code on the local machine as well as manipulate network packets,
- to partially recover the plaintext of messages under some conditions (see
- previous entry) by using a cache attack targeting the SSL input record
- buffer. Connections using GCM or CCM instead of CBC or using
- Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected. Found by Kenny Paterson,
- Eyal Ronen and Adi Shamir.
- Features
- * Add new crypto primitives from RFC 7539: stream cipher Chacha20, one-time
- authenticator Poly1305 and AEAD construct Chacha20-Poly1305. Contributed
- by Daniel King.
- * Add support for CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites from RFC 7905.
- * Add platform support for the Haiku OS. (https://www.haiku-os.org).
- Contributed by Augustin Cavalier.
- * Make the receive and transmit buffers independent sizes, for situations
- where the outgoing buffer can be fixed at a smaller size than the incoming
- buffer, which can save some RAM. If buffer lengths are kept equal, there
- is no functional difference. Contributed by Angus Gratton, and also
- independently contributed again by Paul Sokolovsky.
- * Add support for key wrapping modes based on AES as defined by
- NIST SP 800-38F algorithms KW and KWP and by RFC 3394 and RFC 5649.
- Bugfix
- * Fix the key_app_writer example which was writing a leading zero byte which
- was creating an invalid ASN.1 tag. Found by Aryeh R. Fixes #1257.
- * Fix compilation error on C++, because of a variable named new.
- Found and fixed by Hirotaka Niisato in #1783.
- * Fix "no symbols" warning issued by ranlib when building on Mac OS X. Fix
- contributed by tabascoeye.
- * Clarify documentation for mbedtls_ssl_write() to include 0 as a valid
- return value. Found by @davidwu2000. #839
- * Fix a memory leak in mbedtls_x509_csr_parse(), found by catenacyber,
- Philippe Antoine. Fixes #1623.
- * Remove unused headers included in x509.c. Found by Chris Hanson and fixed
- by Brendan Shanks. Part of a fix for #992.
- * Fix compilation error when MBEDTLS_ARC4_C is disabled and
- MBEDTLS_CIPHER_NULL_CIPHER is enabled. Found by TrinityTonic in #1719.
- * Added length checks to some TLS parsing functions. Found and fixed by
- Philippe Antoine from Catena cyber. #1663.
- * Fix the inline assembly for the MPI multiply helper function for i386 and
- i386 with SSE2. Found by László Langó. Fixes #1550
- * Fix namespacing in header files. Remove the `mbedtls` namespacing in
- the `#include` in the header files. Resolves #857
- * Fix compiler warning of 'use before initialisation' in
- mbedtls_pk_parse_key(). Found by Martin Boye Petersen and fixed by Dawid
- Drozd. #1098
- * Fix decryption for zero length messages (which contain all padding) when a
- CBC based ciphersuite is used together with Encrypt-then-MAC. Previously,
- such a message was wrongly reported as an invalid record and therefore lead
- to the connection being terminated. Seen most often with OpenSSL using
- TLS 1.0. Reported by @kFYatek and by Conor Murphy on the forum. Fix
- contributed by Espressif Systems. Fixes #1632
- * Fix ssl_client2 example to send application data with 0-length content
- when the request_size argument is set to 0 as stated in the documentation.
- Fixes #1833.
- * Correct the documentation for `mbedtls_ssl_get_session()`. This API has
- deep copy of the session, and the peer certificate is not lost. Fixes #926.
- * Fix build using -std=c99. Fixed by Nick Wilson.
- Changes
- * Fail when receiving a TLS alert message with an invalid length, or invalid
- zero-length messages when using TLS 1.2. Contributed by Espressif Systems.
- * Change the default behaviour of mbedtls_hkdf_extract() to return an error
- when calling with a NULL salt and non-zero salt_len. Contributed by
- Brian J Murray
- * Change the shebang line in Perl scripts to look up perl in the PATH.
- Contributed by fbrosson.
- * Allow overriding the time on Windows via the platform-time abstraction.
- Fixed by Nick Wilson.
- * Use gmtime_r/gmtime_s for thread-safety. Fixed by Nick Wilson.
- = mbed TLS 2.11.0 branch released 2018-06-18
- Features
- * Add additional block mode, OFB (Output Feedback), to the AES module and
- cipher abstraction module.
- * Implement the HMAC-based extract-and-expand key derivation function
- (HKDF) per RFC 5869. Contributed by Thomas Fossati.
- * Add support for the CCM* block cipher mode as defined in IEEE Std. 802.15.4.
- * Add support for the XTS block cipher mode with AES (AES-XTS).
- Contributed by Aorimn in pull request #414.
- * In TLS servers, support offloading private key operations to an external
- cryptoprocessor. Private key operations can be asynchronous to allow
- non-blocking operation of the TLS server stack.
- Bugfix
- * Fix the cert_write example to handle certificates signed with elliptic
- curves as well as RSA. Fixes #777 found by dbedev.
- * Fix for redefinition of _WIN32_WINNT to avoid overriding a definition
- used by user applications. Found and fixed by Fabio Alessandrelli.
- * Fix compilation warnings with IAR toolchain, on 32 bit platform.
- Reported by rahmanih in #683
- * Fix braces in mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_status(). Found by sbranden, #552.
- Changes
- * Changed CMake defaults for IAR to treat all compiler warnings as errors.
- * Changed the Clang parameters used in the CMake build files to work for
- versions later than 3.6. Versions of Clang earlier than this may no longer
- work. Fixes #1072
- = mbed TLS 2.10.0 branch released 2018-06-06
- Features
- * Add support for ARIA cipher (RFC 5794) and associated TLS ciphersuites
- (RFC 6209). Disabled by default, see MBEDTLS_ARIA_C in config.h
- API Changes
- * Extend the platform module with a util component that contains
- functionality shared by multiple Mbed TLS modules. At this stage
- platform_util.h (and its associated platform_util.c) only contain
- mbedtls_platform_zeroize(), which is a critical function from a security
- point of view. mbedtls_platform_zeroize() needs to be regularly tested
- against compilers to ensure that calls to it are not removed from the
- output binary as part of redundant code elimination optimizations.
- Therefore, mbedtls_platform_zeroize() is moved to the platform module to
- facilitate testing and maintenance.
- Bugfix
- * Fix an issue with MicroBlaze support in bn_mul.h which was causing the
- build to fail. Found by zv-io. Fixes #1651.
- Changes
- * Support TLS testing in out-of-source builds using cmake. Fixes #1193.
- * Fix redundant declaration of mbedtls_ssl_list_ciphersuites. Raised by
- TrinityTonic. #1359.
- = mbed TLS 2.9.0 branch released 2018-04-30
- Security
- * Fix an issue in the X.509 module which could lead to a buffer overread
- during certificate validation. Additionally, the issue could also lead to
- unnecessary callback checks being made or to some validation checks to be
- omitted. The overread could be triggered remotely, while the other issues
- would require a non DER-compliant certificate to be correctly signed by a
- trusted CA, or a trusted CA with a non DER-compliant certificate. Found by
- luocm. Fixes #825.
- * Fix the buffer length assertion in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
- function which led to an arbitrary overread of the message buffer. The
- overreads could be caused by receiving a malformed message at the point
- where an optional signature algorithms list is expected when the signature
- algorithms section is too short. In builds with debug output, the overread
- data is output with the debug data.
- * Fix a client-side bug in the validation of the server's ciphersuite choice
- which could potentially lead to the client accepting a ciphersuite it didn't
- offer or a ciphersuite that cannot be used with the TLS or DTLS version
- chosen by the server. This could lead to corruption of internal data
- structures for some configurations.
- Features
- * Add an option, MBEDTLS_AES_FEWER_TABLES, to dynamically compute smaller AES
- tables during runtime, thereby reducing the RAM/ROM footprint by ~6KiB.
- Suggested and contributed by jkivilin in pull request #394.
- * Add initial support for Curve448 (RFC 7748). Only mbedtls_ecp_mul() and
- ECDH primitive functions (mbedtls_ecdh_gen_public(),
- mbedtls_ecdh_compute_shared()) are supported for now. Contributed by
- Nicholas Wilson in pull request #348.
- API Changes
- * Extend the public API with the function of mbedtls_net_poll() to allow user
- applications to wait for a network context to become ready before reading
- or writing.
- * Add function mbedtls_ssl_check_pending() to the public API to allow
- a check for whether more more data is pending to be processed in the
- internal message buffers.
- This function is necessary to determine when it is safe to idle on the
- underlying transport in case event-driven IO is used.
- Bugfix
- * Fix a spurious uninitialized variable warning in cmac.c. Fix independently
- contributed by Brian J Murray and David Brown.
- * Add missing dependencies in test suites that led to build failures
- in configurations that omit certain hashes or public-key algorithms.
- Fixes #1040.
- * Fix C89 incompatibility in benchmark.c. Contributed by Brendan Shanks.
- #1353
- * Add missing dependencies for MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE and
- MBEDTLS_VERSION_FEATURES in some test suites. Contributed by
- Deomid Ryabkov. Fixes #1299, #1475.
- * Fix the Makefile build process for building shared libraries on Mac OS X.
- Fixed by mnacamura.
- * Fix parsing of PKCS#8 encoded Elliptic Curve keys. Previously Mbed TLS was
- unable to parse keys which had only the optional parameters field of the
- ECPrivateKey structure. Found by Jethro Beekman, fixed in #1379.
- * Return the plaintext data more quickly on unpadded CBC decryption, as
- stated in the mbedtls_cipher_update() documentation. Contributed by
- Andy Leiserson.
- * Fix overriding and ignoring return values when parsing and writing to
- a file in pk_sign program. Found by kevlut in #1142.
- * Restrict usage of error code MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_READ to situations
- where data needs to be fetched from the underlying transport in order
- to make progress. Previously, this error code was also occasionally
- returned when unexpected messages were being discarded, ignoring that
- further messages could potentially already be pending to be processed
- in the internal buffers; these cases led to deadlocks when event-driven
- I/O was used. Found and reported by Hubert Mis in #772.
- * Fix buffer length assertions in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
- function which leads to a potential one byte overread of the message
- buffer.
- * Fix invalid buffer sizes passed to zlib during record compression and
- decompression.
- * Fix the soversion of libmbedcrypto to match the soversion of the
- maintained 2.7 branch. The soversion was increased in Mbed TLS
- version 2.7.1 to reflect breaking changes in that release, but the
- increment was missed in 2.8.0 and later releases outside of the 2.7 branch.
- Changes
- * Remove some redundant code in bignum.c. Contributed by Alexey Skalozub.
- * Support cmake builds where Mbed TLS is a subproject. Fix contributed
- independently by Matthieu Volat and Arne Schwabe.
- * Improve testing in configurations that omit certain hashes or
- public-key algorithms. Includes contributions by Gert van Dijk.
- * Improve negative testing of X.509 parsing.
- * Do not define global mutexes around readdir() and gmtime() in
- configurations where the feature is disabled. Found and fixed by Gergely
- Budai.
- * Harden the function mbedtls_ssl_config_free() against misuse, so that it
- doesn't leak memory if the user doesn't use mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk() and
- instead incorrectly manipulates the configuration structure directly.
- Found and fix submitted by junyeonLEE in #1220.
- * Provide an empty implementation of mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() when
- MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C is not enabled. This allows the use of PBKDF2
- without PBES2. Fixed by Marcos Del Sol Vives.
- * Add the order of the base point as N in the mbedtls_ecp_group structure
- for Curve25519 (other curves had it already). Contributed by Nicholas
- Wilson #481
- * Improve the documentation of mbedtls_net_accept(). Contributed by Ivan
- Krylov.
- * Improve the documentation of mbedtls_ssl_write(). Suggested by
- Paul Sokolovsky in #1356.
- * Add an option in the Makefile to support ar utilities where the operation
- letter must not be prefixed by '-', such as LLVM. Found and fixed by
- Alex Hixon.
- * Allow configuring the shared library extension by setting the DLEXT
- environment variable when using the project makefiles.
- * Optimize unnecessary zeroing in mbedtls_mpi_copy. Based on a contribution
- by Alexey Skalozub in #405.
- * In the SSL module, when f_send, f_recv or f_recv_timeout report
- transmitting more than the required length, return an error. Raised by
- Sam O'Connor in #1245.
- * Improve robustness of mbedtls_ssl_derive_keys against the use of
- HMAC functions with non-HMAC ciphersuites. Independently contributed
- by Jiayuan Chen in #1377. Fixes #1437.
- * Improve security of RSA key generation by including criteria from
- FIPS 186-4. Contributed by Jethro Beekman. #1380
- * Declare functions in header files even when an alternative implementation
- of the corresponding module is activated by defining the corresponding
- MBEDTLS_XXX_ALT macro. This means that alternative implementations do
- not need to copy the declarations, and ensures that they will have the
- same API.
- * Add platform setup and teardown calls in test suites.
- = mbed TLS 2.8.0 branch released 2018-03-16
- Default behavior changes
- * The truncated HMAC extension now conforms to RFC 6066. This means
- that when both sides of a TLS connection negotiate the truncated
- HMAC extension, Mbed TLS can now interoperate with other
- compliant implementations, but this breaks interoperability with
- prior versions of Mbed TLS. To restore the old behavior, enable
- the (deprecated) option MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC_COMPAT in
- config.h. Found by Andreas Walz (ivESK, Offenburg University of
- Applied Sciences).
- Security
- * Fix implementation of the truncated HMAC extension. The previous
- implementation allowed an offline 2^80 brute force attack on the
- HMAC key of a single, uninterrupted connection (with no
- resumption of the session).
- * Verify results of RSA private key operations to defend
- against Bellcore glitch attack.
- * Fix a buffer overread in ssl_parse_server_key_exchange() that could cause
- a crash on invalid input.
- * Fix a buffer overread in ssl_parse_server_psk_hint() that could cause a
- crash on invalid input.
- * Fix CRL parsing to reject CRLs containing unsupported critical
- extensions. Found by Falko Strenzke and Evangelos Karatsiolis.
- Features
- * Extend PKCS#8 interface by introducing support for the entire SHA
- algorithms family when encrypting private keys using PKCS#5 v2.0.
- This allows reading encrypted PEM files produced by software that
- uses PBKDF2-SHA2, such as OpenSSL 1.1. Submitted by Antonio Quartulli,
- OpenVPN Inc. Fixes #1339
- * Add support for public keys encoded in PKCS#1 format. #1122
- New deprecations
- * Deprecate support for record compression (configuration option
- MBEDTLS_ZLIB_SUPPORT).
- Bugfix
- * Fix the name of a DHE parameter that was accidentally changed in 2.7.0.
- Fixes #1358.
- * Fix test_suite_pk to work on 64-bit ILP32 systems. #849
- * Fix mbedtls_x509_crt_profile_suiteb, which used to reject all certificates
- with flag MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_BAD_PK even when the key type was correct.
- In the context of SSL, this resulted in handshake failure. Reported by
- daniel in the Mbed TLS forum. #1351
- * Fix Windows x64 builds with the included mbedTLS.sln file. #1347
- * Fix setting version TLSv1 as minimal version, even if TLS 1
- is not enabled. Set MBEDTLS_SSL_MIN_MAJOR_VERSION
- and MBEDTLS_SSL_MIN_MINOR_VERSION instead of
- MBEDTLS_SSL_MAJOR_VERSION_3 and MBEDTLS_SSL_MINOR_VERSION_1. #664
- * Fix compilation error on Mingw32 when _TRUNCATE is defined. Use _TRUNCATE
- only if __MINGW32__ not defined. Fix suggested by Thomas Glanzmann and
- Nick Wilson on issue #355
- * In test_suite_pk, pass valid parameters when testing for hash length
- overflow. #1179
- * Fix memory allocation corner cases in memory_buffer_alloc.c module. Found
- by Guido Vranken. #639
- * Log correct number of ciphersuites used in Client Hello message. #918
- * Fix X509 CRT parsing that would potentially accept an invalid tag when
- parsing the subject alternative names.
- * Fix a possible arithmetic overflow in ssl_parse_server_key_exchange()
- that could cause a key exchange to fail on valid data.
- * Fix a possible arithmetic overflow in ssl_parse_server_psk_hint() that
- could cause a key exchange to fail on valid data.
- * Don't define mbedtls_aes_decrypt and mbedtls_aes_encrypt under
- MBEDTLS_DEPRECATED_REMOVED. #1388
- * Fix a 1-byte heap buffer overflow (read-only) during private key parsing.
- Found through fuzz testing.
- Changes
- * Fix tag lengths and value ranges in the documentation of CCM encryption.
- Contributed by Mathieu Briand.
- * Fix typo in a comment ctr_drbg.c. Contributed by Paul Sokolovsky.
- * Remove support for the library reference configuration for picocoin.
- * MD functions deprecated in 2.7.0 are no longer inline, to provide
- a migration path for those depending on the library's ABI.
- * Clarify the documentation of mbedtls_ssl_setup.
- * Use (void) when defining functions with no parameters. Contributed by
- Joris Aerts. #678
- = mbed TLS 2.7.0 branch released 2018-02-03
- Security
- * Fix a heap corruption issue in the implementation of the truncated HMAC
- extension. When the truncated HMAC extension is enabled and CBC is used,
- sending a malicious application packet could be used to selectively corrupt
- 6 bytes on the peer's heap, which could potentially lead to crash or remote
- code execution. The issue could be triggered remotely from either side in
- both TLS and DTLS. CVE-2018-0488
- * Fix a buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the hash was too large
- for the key size, which could potentially lead to crash or remote code
- execution. Found by Seth Terashima, Qualcomm Product Security Initiative,
- Qualcomm Technologies Inc. CVE-2018-0487
- * Fix buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the unmasked data is all
- zeros.
- * Fix an unsafe bounds check in ssl_parse_client_psk_identity() when adding
- 64 KiB to the address of the SSL buffer and causing a wrap around.
- * Fix a potential heap buffer overflow in mbedtls_ssl_write(). When the (by
- default enabled) maximum fragment length extension is disabled in the
- config and the application data buffer passed to mbedtls_ssl_write
- is larger than the internal message buffer (16384 bytes by default), the
- latter overflows. The exploitability of this issue depends on whether the
- application layer can be forced into sending such large packets. The issue
- was independently reported by Tim Nordell via e-mail and by Florin Petriuc
- and sjorsdewit on GitHub. Fix proposed by Florin Petriuc in #1022.
- Fixes #707.
- * Add a provision to prevent compiler optimizations breaking the time
- constancy of mbedtls_ssl_safer_memcmp().
- * Ensure that buffers are cleared after use if they contain sensitive data.
- Changes were introduced in multiple places in the library.
- * Set PEM buffer to zero before freeing it, to avoid decoded private keys
- being leaked to memory after release.
- * Fix dhm_check_range() failing to detect trivial subgroups and potentially
- leaking 1 bit of the private key. Reported by prashantkspatil.
- * Make mbedtls_mpi_read_binary() constant-time with respect to the input
- data. Previously, trailing zero bytes were detected and omitted for the
- sake of saving memory, but potentially leading to slight timing
- differences. Reported by Marco Macchetti, Kudelski Group.
- * Wipe stack buffer temporarily holding EC private exponent
- after keypair generation.
- * Fix a potential heap buffer over-read in ALPN extension parsing
- (server-side). Could result in application crash, but only if an ALPN
- name larger than 16 bytes had been configured on the server.
- * Change default choice of DHE parameters from untrustworthy RFC 5114
- to RFC 3526 containing parameters generated in a nothing-up-my-sleeve
- manner.
- Features
- * Allow comments in test data files.
- * The selftest program can execute a subset of the tests based on command
- line arguments.
- * New unit tests for timing. Improve the self-test to be more robust
- when run on a heavily-loaded machine.
- * Add alternative implementation support for CCM and CMAC (MBEDTLS_CCM_ALT,
- MBEDTLS_CMAC_ALT). Submitted by Steven Cooreman, Silicon Labs.
- * Add support for alternative implementations of GCM, selected by the
- configuration flag MBEDTLS_GCM_ALT.
- * Add support for alternative implementations for ECDSA, controlled by new
- configuration flags MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT, MBEDTLS_ECDSA_VERIFY_ALT and
- MBEDTLS_ECDSDA_GENKEY_AT in config.h.
- The following functions from the ECDSA module can be replaced
- with alternative implementation:
- mbedtls_ecdsa_sign(), mbedtls_ecdsa_verify() and mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey().
- * Add support for alternative implementation of ECDH, controlled by the
- new configuration flags MBEDTLS_ECDH_COMPUTE_SHARED_ALT and
- MBEDTLS_ECDH_GEN_PUBLIC_ALT in config.h.
- The following functions from the ECDH module can be replaced
- with an alternative implementation:
- mbedtls_ecdh_gen_public() and mbedtls_ecdh_compute_shared().
- * Add support for alternative implementation of ECJPAKE, controlled by
- the new configuration flag MBEDTLS_ECJPAKE_ALT.
- * Add mechanism to provide alternative implementation of the DHM module.
- API Changes
- * Extend RSA interface by multiple functions allowing structure-
- independent setup and export of RSA contexts. Most notably,
- mbedtls_rsa_import() and mbedtls_rsa_complete() are introduced for setting
- up RSA contexts from partial key material and having them completed to the
- needs of the implementation automatically. This allows to setup private RSA
- contexts from keys consisting of N,D,E only, even if P,Q are needed for the
- purpose or CRT and/or blinding.
- * The configuration option MBEDTLS_RSA_ALT can be used to define alternative
- implementations of the RSA interface declared in rsa.h.
- * The following functions in the message digest modules (MD2, MD4, MD5,
- SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) have been deprecated and replaced as shown below.
- The new functions change the return type from void to int to allow
- returning error codes when using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT.
- mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts_ret()
- mbedtls_<MODULE>_update() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_update_ret()
- mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish_ret()
- mbedtls_<MODULE>_process() -> mbedtls_internal_<MODULE>_process()
- New deprecations
- * Deprecate usage of RSA primitives with non-matching key-type
- (e.g. signing with a public key).
- * Direct manipulation of structure fields of RSA contexts is deprecated.
- Users are advised to use the extended RSA API instead.
- * Deprecate usage of message digest functions that return void
- (mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts, mbedtls_<MODULE>_update,
- mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish and mbedtls_<MODULE>_process where <MODULE> is
- any of MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) in favor of functions
- that can return an error code.
- * Deprecate untrustworthy DHE parameters from RFC 5114. Superseded by
- parameters from RFC 3526 or the newly added parameters from RFC 7919.
- * Deprecate hex string DHE constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P etc.
- Supserseded by binary encoded constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P_BIN
- etc.
- * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param() for setting default DHE parameters
- from hex strings. Superseded by mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param_bin()
- accepting DHM parameters in binary form, matching the new constants.
- Bugfix
- * Fix ssl_parse_record_header() to silently discard invalid DTLS records
- as recommended in RFC 6347 Section 4.1.2.7.
- * Fix memory leak in mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname() when called multiple times.
- Found by projectgus and Jethro Beekman, #836.
- * Fix usage help in ssl_server2 example. Found and fixed by Bei Lin.
- * Parse signature algorithm extension when renegotiating. Previously,
- renegotiated handshakes would only accept signatures using SHA-1
- regardless of the peer's preferences, or fail if SHA-1 was disabled.
- * Fix leap year calculation in x509_date_is_valid() to ensure that invalid
- dates on leap years with 100 and 400 intervals are handled correctly. Found
- by Nicholas Wilson. #694
- * Fix some invalid RSA-PSS signatures with keys of size 8N+1 that were
- accepted. Generating these signatures required the private key.
- * Fix out-of-memory problem when parsing 4096-bit PKCS8-encrypted RSA keys.
- Found independently by Florian in the mbed TLS forum and by Mishamax.
- #878, #1019.
- * Fix variable used before assignment compilation warnings with IAR
- toolchain. Found by gkerrien38.
- * Fix unchecked return codes from AES, DES and 3DES functions in
- pem_aes_decrypt(), pem_des_decrypt() and pem_des3_decrypt() respectively.
- If a call to one of the functions of the cryptographic primitive modules
- failed, the error may not be noticed by the function
- mbedtls_pem_read_buffer() causing it to return invalid values. Found by
- Guido Vranken. #756
- * Include configuration file in md.h, to fix compilation warnings.
- Reported by aaronmdjones in #1001
- * Correct extraction of signature-type from PK instance in X.509 CRT and CSR
- writing routines that prevented these functions to work with alternative
- RSA implementations. Raised by J.B. in the Mbed TLS forum. Fixes #1011.
- * Don't print X.509 version tag for v1 CRT's, and omit extensions for
- non-v3 CRT's.
- * Fix bugs in RSA test suite under MBEDTLS_NO_PLATFORM_ENTROPY. #1023 #1024
- * Fix net_would_block() to avoid modification by errno through fcntl() call.

- Reported by Yolan Romailler.
- * Fix word size check in in pk.c to not depend on MBEDTLS_HAVE_INT64.
- * Fix incorrect unit in benchmark output. #850
- * Add size-checks for record and handshake message content, securing
- fragile yet non-exploitable code-paths.

- * Fix use of uninitialized memory in mbedtls_timing_get_timer() when reset=1.
- * Fix possible memory leaks in mbedtls_gcm_self_test().
- * Added missing return code checks in mbedtls_aes_self_test().
- * Fix issues in RSA key generation program programs/x509/rsa_genkey and the
- RSA test suite where the failure of CTR DRBG initialization lead to
- freeing an RSA context and several MPI's without proper initialization
- beforehand.
- * Fix error message in programs/pkey/gen_key.c. Found and fixed by Chris Xue.
- * Fix programs/pkey/dh_server.c so that it actually works with dh_client.c.
- Found and fixed by Martijn de Milliano.
- * Fix an issue in the cipher decryption with the mode
- MBEDTLS_PADDING_ONE_AND_ZEROS that sometimes accepted invalid padding.
- Note, this padding mode is not used by the TLS protocol. Found and fixed by
- Micha Kraus.
- * Fix the entropy.c module to not call mbedtls_sha256_starts() or
- mbedtls_sha512_starts() in the mbedtls_entropy_init() function.
- * Fix the entropy.c module to ensure that mbedtls_sha256_init() or
- mbedtls_sha512_init() is called before operating on the relevant context
- structure. Do not assume that zeroizing a context is a correct way to
- reset it. Found independently by ccli8 on Github.
- * In mbedtls_entropy_free(), properly free the message digest context.
- * Fix status handshake status message in programs/ssl/dtls_client.c. Found
- and fixed by muddog.
- Changes
- * Extend cert_write example program by options to set the certificate version
- and the message digest. Further, allow enabling/disabling of authority
- identifier, subject identifier and basic constraints extensions.
- * Only check for necessary RSA structure fields in `mbedtls_rsa_private`. In
- particular, don't require P,Q if neither CRT nor blinding are
- used. Reported and fix proposed independently by satur9nine and sliai
- on GitHub.
- * Only run AES-192 self-test if AES-192 is available. Fixes #963.
- * Tighten the RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification code and remove the
- undeclared dependency of the RSA module on the ASN.1 module.
- * Update all internal usage of deprecated message digest functions to the
- new ones with return codes. In particular, this modifies the

- everywhere except some locations in the ssl_tls.c module.
- * Improve CTR_DRBG error handling by propagating underlying AES errors.
- * Add MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED error codes for all cryptography

- implementation.
- * Add explicit warnings for the use of MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA-1, DES and ARC4
- throughout the library.
- = mbed TLS 2.6.0 branch released 2017-08-10
- Security
- * Fix authentication bypass in SSL/TLS: when authmode is set to optional,
- mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result() would incorrectly return 0 when the peer's
- X.509 certificate chain had more than MBEDTLS_X509_MAX_INTERMEDIATE_CA
- (default: 8) intermediates, even when it was not trusted. This could be
- triggered remotely from either side. (With authmode set to 'required'
- (the default), the handshake was correctly aborted).
- * Reliably wipe sensitive data after use in the AES example applications
- programs/aes/aescrypt2 and programs/aes/crypt_and_hash.
- Found by Laurent Simon.
- Features
- * Add the functions mbedtls_platform_setup() and mbedtls_platform_teardown()
- and the context struct mbedtls_platform_context to perform
- platform-specific setup and teardown operations. The macro
- MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETUP_TEARDOWN_ALT allows the functions to be overridden
- by the user in a platform_alt.h file. These new functions are required in
- some embedded environments to provide a means of initialising underlying
- cryptographic acceleration hardware.
- API Changes
- * Reverted API/ABI breaking changes introduced in mbed TLS 2.5.1, to make the
- API consistent with mbed TLS 2.5.0. Specifically removed the inline
- qualifier from the functions mbedtls_aes_decrypt, mbedtls_aes_encrypt,
- mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_uses_ec and mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_uses_psk. Found
- by James Cowgill. #978
- * Certificate verification functions now set flags to -1 in case the full
- chain was not verified due to an internal error (including in the verify
- callback) or chain length limitations.
- * With authmode set to optional, the TLS handshake is now aborted if the
- verification of the peer's certificate failed due to an overlong chain or
- a fatal error in the verify callback.
- Bugfix
- * Add a check if iv_len is zero in GCM, and return an error if it is zero.
- Reported by roberto. #716
- * Replace preprocessor condition from #if defined(MBEDTLS_THREADING_PTHREAD)
- to #if defined(MBEDTLS_THREADING_C) as the library cannot assume they will
- always be implemented by pthread support. #696
- * Fix a resource leak on Windows platforms in mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path(),
- in the case of an error. Found by redplait. #590
- * Add MBEDTLS_MPI_CHK to check for error value of mbedtls_mpi_fill_random.
- Reported and fix suggested by guidovranken. #740
- * Fix conditional preprocessor directives in bignum.h to enable 64-bit
- compilation when using ARM Compiler 6.
- * Fix a potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
- encoded X.509 CRLs. The overflow could enable maliciously constructed CRLs
- to bypass the version verification check. Found by Peng Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin,
- KNOX Security, Samsung Research America
- * Fix potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
- encoded X.509 CSRs. The overflow could enable maliciously constructed CSRs
- to bypass the version verification check. Found by Peng Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin,
- KNOX Security, Samsung Research America
- * Fix a potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
- encoded X.509 certificates. The overflow could enable maliciously
- constructed certificates to bypass the certificate verification check.
- * Fix a call to the libc function time() to call the platform abstraction
- function mbedtls_time() instead. Found by wairua. #666
- * Avoid shadowing of time and index functions through mbed TLS function
- arguments. Found by inestlerode. #557.
- Changes
- * Added config.h option MBEDTLS_NO_UDBL_DIVISION, to prevent the use of
- 64-bit division. This is useful on embedded platforms where 64-bit division
- created a dependency on external libraries. #708
- * Removed mutexes from ECP hardware accelerator code. Now all hardware
- accelerator code in the library leaves concurrency handling to the
- platform. Reported by Steven Cooreman. #863
- * Define the macro MBEDTLS_AES_ROM_TABLES in the configuration file
- config-no-entropy.h to reduce the RAM footprint.
- * Added a test script that can be hooked into git that verifies commits
- before they are pushed.
- * Improve documentation of PKCS1 decryption functions.
- = mbed TLS 2.5.1 released 2017-06-21
- Security
- * Fixed unlimited overread of heap-based buffer in mbedtls_ssl_read().
- The issue could only happen client-side with renegotiation enabled.
- Could result in DoS (application crash) or information leak
- (if the application layer sent data read from mbedtls_ssl_read()
- back to the server or to a third party). Can be triggered remotely.
- * Removed SHA-1 and RIPEMD-160 from the default hash algorithms for
- certificate verification. SHA-1 can be turned back on with a compile-time
- option if needed.
- * Fixed offset in FALLBACK_SCSV parsing that caused TLS server to fail to
- detect it sometimes. Reported by Hugo Leisink. #810
- * Tighten parsing of RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures, to avoid a
- potential Bleichenbacher/BERserk-style attack.
- Bugfix
- * Remove size zero arrays from ECJPAKE test suite. Size zero arrays are not
- valid C and they prevented the test from compiling in Visual Studio 2015
- and with GCC using the -Wpedantic compilation option.
- * Fix insufficient support for signature-hash-algorithm extension,
- resulting in compatibility problems with Chrome. Found by hfloyrd. #823
- * Fix behaviour that hid the original cause of fatal alerts in some cases
- when sending the alert failed. The fix makes sure not to hide the error
- that triggered the alert.
- * Fix SSLv3 renegotiation behaviour and stop processing data received from
- peer after sending a fatal alert to refuse a renegotiation attempt.
- Previous behaviour was to keep processing data even after the alert has
- been sent.
- * Accept empty trusted CA chain in authentication mode
- MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL. Found by Jethro Beekman. #864
- * Fix implementation of mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate() to not annihilate
- fatal errors in authentication mode MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL and to
- reflect bad EC curves within verification result.
- * Fix bug that caused the modular inversion function to accept the invalid
- modulus 1 and therefore to hang. Found by blaufish. #641.
- * Fix incorrect sign computation in modular exponentiation when the base is
- a negative MPI. Previously the result was always negative. Found by Guido
- Vranken.
- * Fix a numerical underflow leading to stack overflow in mpi_read_file()

- Features
- * Add hardware acceleration support for the Elliptic Curve Point module.
- This involved exposing parts of the internal interface to enable
- replacing the core functions and adding and alternative, module level
- replacement support for enabling the extension of the interface.
- * Add a new configuration option to 'mbedtls_ssl_config' to enable
- suppressing the CA list in Certificate Request messages. The default
- behaviour has not changed, namely every configured CAs name is included.
- API Changes
- * The following functions in the AES module have been deprecated and replaced
- by the functions shown below. The new functions change the return type from
- void to int to allow returning error codes when using MBEDTLS_AES_ALT,
- MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT_ALT or MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT_ALT.
- mbedtls_aes_decrypt() -> mbedtls_internal_aes_decrypt()

- * Fixed issue in the Threading module that prevented mutexes from
- initialising. Found by sznaider. #667 #843
- * Add checks in the PK module for the RSA functions on 64-bit systems.
- The PK and RSA modules use different types for passing hash length and
- without these checks the type cast could lead to data loss. Found by Guido
- Vranken.
- = mbed TLS 2.4.2 branch released 2017-03-08
- Security
- * Add checks to prevent signature forgeries for very large messages while
- using RSA through the PK module in 64-bit systems. The issue was caused by
- some data loss when casting a size_t to an unsigned int value in the
- functions rsa_verify_wrap(), rsa_sign_wrap(), rsa_alt_sign_wrap() and
- mbedtls_pk_sign(). Found by Jean-Philippe Aumasson.
- * Fixed potential livelock during the parsing of a CRL in PEM format in
- mbedtls_x509_crl_parse(). A string containing a CRL followed by trailing
- characters after the footer could result in the execution of an infinite
- loop. The issue can be triggered remotely. Found by Greg Zaverucha,
- Microsoft.
- * Removed MD5 from the allowed hash algorithms for CertificateRequest and
- CertificateVerify messages, to prevent SLOTH attacks against TLS 1.2.
- Introduced by interoperability fix for #513.
- * Fixed a bug that caused freeing a buffer that was allocated on the stack,
- when verifying the validity of a key on secp224k1. This could be
- triggered remotely for example with a maliciously constructed certificate
- and potentially could lead to remote code execution on some platforms.
- Reported independently by rongsaws and Aleksandar Nikolic, Cisco Talos
- team. #569 CVE-2017-2784
- Bugfix
- * Fix output certificate verification flags set by x509_crt_verify_top() when
- traversing a chain of trusted CA. The issue would cause both flags,
- MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_NOT_TRUSTED and MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_EXPIRED, to be
- set when the verification conditions are not met regardless of the cause.
- Found by Harm Verhagen and inestlerode. #665 #561
- * Fix the redefinition of macro ssl_set_bio to an undefined symbol
- mbedtls_ssl_set_bio_timeout in compat-1.3.h, by removing it.

- * Fix unused variable/function compilation warnings in pem.c, x509_crt.c and
- x509_csr.c that are reported when building mbed TLS with a config.h that
- does not define MBEDTLS_PEM_PARSE_C. Found by omnium21. #562
- * Fix incorrect renegotiation condition in ssl_check_ctr_renegotiate() that
- would compare 64 bits of the record counter instead of 48 bits as indicated
- in RFC 6347 Section 4.3.1. This could cause the execution of the
- renegotiation routines at unexpected times when the protocol is DTLS. Found
- by wariua. #687

- API Changes
- * The library has been split into libmbedcrypto, libmbedx509, libmbedtls.
- You now need to link to all of them if you use TLS for example.
- * All public identifiers moved to the mbedtls_* or MBEDTLS_* namespace.
- Some names have been further changed to make them more consistent.
- Migration helpers scripts/rename.pl and include/mbedtls/compat-1.3.h are
- provided. Full list of renamings in scripts/data_files/rename-1.3-2.0.txt
- * Renamings of fields inside structures, not covered by the previous list:
- mbedtls_cipher_info_t.key_length -> key_bitlen
- mbedtls_cipher_context_t.key_length -> key_bitlen
- mbedtls_ecp_curve_info.size -> bit_size
- * Headers are now found in the 'mbedtls' directory (previously 'polarssl').
- * The following _init() functions that could return errors have
- been split into an _init() that returns void and another function that
- should generally be the first function called on this context after init:
- mbedtls_ssl_init() -> mbedtls_ssl_setup()
- mbedtls_ccm_init() -> mbedtls_ccm_setkey()
- mbedtls_gcm_init() -> mbedtls_gcm_setkey()
- mbedtls_hmac_drbg_init() -> mbedtls_hmac_drbg_seed(_buf)()
- mbedtls_ctr_drbg_init() -> mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed()
- Note that for mbedtls_ssl_setup(), you need to be done setting up the
- ssl_config structure before calling it.
- * Most ssl_set_xxx() functions (all except ssl_set_bio(), ssl_set_hostname(),
- ssl_set_session() and ssl_set_client_transport_id(), plus
- ssl_legacy_renegotiation()) have been renamed to mbedtls_ssl_conf_xxx()
- (see rename.pl and compat-1.3.h above) and their first argument's type
- changed from ssl_context to ssl_config.
- * ssl_set_bio() changed signature (contexts merged, order switched, one
- additional callback for read-with-timeout).
- * The following functions have been introduced and must be used in callback
- implementations (SNI, PSK) instead of their *conf counterparts:
- mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_own_cert()
- mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_ca_chain()
- mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk()
- * mbedtls_ssl_conf_ca_chain() lost its last argument (peer_cn), now set
- using mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname().
- * mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_cache() changed prototype (only one context
- pointer, parameters reordered).
- * On server, mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets_cb() must now be used in
- place of mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets() to enable session tickets.
- * The SSL debug callback gained two new arguments (file name, line number).
- * Debug modes were removed.
- * mbedtls_ssl_conf_truncated_hmac() now returns void.
- * mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_init() now returns void.
- * X.509 verification flags are now an uint32_t. Affect the signature of:
- mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result()
- mbedtls_x509_ctr_verify_info()
- mbedtls_x509_crt_verify() (flags, f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_verify() (f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
- * The following functions changed prototype to avoid an in-out length
- parameter:
- mbedtls_base64_encode()
- mbedtls_base64_decode()
- mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
- mbedtls_dhm_calc_secret()
- * In the NET module, all "int" and "int *" arguments for file descriptors
- changed type to "mbedtls_net_context *".
- * net_accept() gained new arguments for the size of the client_ip buffer.
- * In the threading layer, mbedtls_mutex_init() and mbedtls_mutex_free() now
- return void.
- * ecdsa_write_signature() gained an additional md_alg argument and
- ecdsa_write_signature_det() was deprecated.
- * pk_sign() no longer accepts md_alg == POLARSSL_MD_NONE with ECDSA.
- * Last argument of x509_crt_check_key_usage() and
- mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_key_usage() changed from int to unsigned.
- * test_ca_list (from certs.h) is renamed to test_cas_pem and is only
- available if POLARSSL_PEM_PARSE_C is defined (it never worked without).
- * Test certificates in certs.c are no longer guaranteed to be nul-terminated
- strings; use the new *_len variables instead of strlen().
- * Functions mbedtls_x509_xxx_parse(), mbedtls_pk_parse_key(),
- mbedtls_pk_parse_public_key() and mbedtls_dhm_parse_dhm() now expect the
- length parameter to include the terminating null byte for PEM input.
- * Signature of mpi_mul_mpi() changed to make the last argument unsigned
- * calloc() is now used instead of malloc() everywhere. API of platform
- layer and the memory_buffer_alloc module changed accordingly.
- (Thanks to Mansour Moufid for helping with the replacement.)
