Clarify ChangeLog old versions and param validations

Browse source 
Clarified and made more coherent the parameter validation feature, it's scope
and what has changed. Added version 2.14.1 to the history which was released on
a branch.

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.
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

* Extend ECDH interface to enable alternative implementations.
* Deprecate the ARIA error MBEDTLS_ERR_ARIA_INVALID_KEY_LENGTH
in favour of a new generic error MBEDTLS_ERR_ARIA_BAD_INPUT_DATA.
* Deprecate the CAMELLIA error MBEDTLS_ERR_CAMELLIA_INVALID_KEY_LENGTH
in favour a new generic error MBEDTLS_ERR_CAMELLIA_BAD_INPUT_DATA.
* Deprecate the Blowfish error MBEDTLS_ERR_BLOWFISH_INVALID_KEY_LENGTH
in favour of a new generic error MBEDTLS_ERR_BLOWFISH_BAD_INPUT_DATA.
* Add validation checks for input parameters to functions in the CCM module.
* Add validation checks for input parameters to functions in the GCM module.
* Add validation checks for input parameters to functions in the SHA-1
module.
* Add validation checks for input parameters to functions in the SHA-256
module.
* Add validation checks for input parameters to functions in the SHA-512
module.
* Add validation checks for input parameters to functions in the Cipher
module.
* 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.

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.
