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.
