The length to the debug message could conceivably leak through the time it
takes to print it, and that length would in turn reveal whether padding was
correct or not.
The basis for the Lucky 13 family of attacks is for an attacker to be able to
distinguish between (long) valid TLS-CBC padding and invalid TLS-CBC padding.
Since our code sets padlen = 0 for invalid padding, the length of the input to
the HMAC function, and the location where we read the MAC, give information
about that.
A local attacker could gain information about that by observing via a
cache attack whether the bytes at the end of the record (at the location of
would-be padding) have been read during MAC verification (computation +
comparison).
Let's make sure they're always read.
The basis for the Lucky 13 family of attacks is for an attacker to be able to
distinguish between (long) valid TLS-CBC padding and invalid TLS-CBC padding.
Since our code sets padlen = 0 for invalid padding, the length of the input to
the HMAC function gives information about that.
Information about this length (modulo the MD/SHA block size) can be deduced
from how much MD/SHA padding (this is distinct from TLS-CBC padding) is used.
If MD/SHA padding is read from a (static) buffer, a local attacker could get
information about how much is used via a cache attack targeting that buffer.
Let's get rid of this buffer. Now the only buffer used is the internal MD/SHA
one, which is always read fully by the process() function.
Move definition of `MBEDTLS_CIPHER_MODE_STREAM` to header file
(`mbedtls_cipher_internal.h`), because it is used by more than
one file. Raised by TrinityTonic in #1719
The TLS layer is checking for mode, such as GCM, CCM, CBC, STREAM. ChachaPoly
needs to have its own mode, even if it's used just one cipher, in order to
allow consistent handling of mode in the TLS layer.

For the situation where the mbedTLS device has limited RAM, but the
other end of the connection doesn't support the max_fragment_length
extension. To be spec-compliant, mbedTLS has to keep a 16384 byte
incoming buffer. However the outgoing buffer can be made smaller without
breaking spec compliance, and we save some RAM.
See comments in include/mbedtls/config.h for some more details.
(The lower limit of outgoing buffer size is the buffer size used during
handshake/cert negotiation. As the handshake is half-duplex it might
even be possible to store this data in the "incoming" buffer during the
handshake, which would save even more RAM - but it would also be a lot
hackier and error-prone. I didn't really explore this possibility, but
thought I'd mention it here in case someone sees this later on a mission
to jam mbedTLS into an even tinier RAM footprint.)
Fix compilation warnings with IAR toolchain, on 32 bit platform.
Reported by rahmanih in #683
This is based on work by Ron Eldor in PR #750, some of which was independently
fixed by Azim Khan and already merged in PR #1646.
The AES XTS self-test was using a variable len, which was declared only when CTR
was enabled. Changed the declaration of len to be conditional on CTR and XTS.
The AES OFB self-test made use of a variable `offset` but failed to have a
preprocessor condition around it, so unless CTR and CBC were enabled, the
variable would be undeclared.
In ssl_parse_encrypted_pms, some operational failures from
ssl_decrypt_encrypted_pms lead to diff being set to a value that
depended on some uninitialized unsigned char and size_t values. This didn't
affect the behavior of the program (assuming an implementation with no
trap values for size_t) because all that matters is whether diff is 0,
but Valgrind rightfully complained about the use of uninitialized
memory. Behave nicely and initialize the offending memory.
THe function `mbedtls_gf128mul_x_ble()` doesn't multiply by x, x^4, and
x^8. Update the function description to properly describe what the function
does.
mbedtls_aes_crypt_xts() currently takes a `bits_length` parameter, unlike
the other block modes. Change the parameter to accept a bytes length
instead, as the `bits_length` parameter is not actually ever used in the
current implementation.
Add a new context structure for XTS. Adjust the API for XTS to use the new
context structure, including tests suites and the benchmark program. Update
Doxgen documentation accordingly.
AES-XEX is a building block for other cryptographic standards and not yet a
standard in and of itself. We'll just provide the standardized AES-XTS
algorithm, and not AES-XEX. The AES-XTS algorithm and interface provided
can be used to perform the AES-XEX algorithm when the length of the input
is a multiple of the AES block size.
If we're unlucky with memory placement, gf128mul_table_bbe may spread over
two cache lines and this would leak b >> 63 to a cache timing attack.
Instead, take an approach that is less likely to make different memory
loads depending on the value of b >> 63 and is also unlikely to be compiled
to a condition.
XTS mode is fully known as "xor-encrypt-xor with ciphertext-stealing".
This is the generalization of the XEX mode.
This implementation is limited to an 8-bits (1 byte) boundary, which
doesn't seem to be what was thought considering some test vectors [1].
This commit comes with tests, extracted from [1], and benchmarks.
Although, benchmarks aren't really nice here, as they work with a buffer
of a multiple of 16 bytes, which isn't a challenge for XTS compared to
XEX.
[1] http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cavp/documents/aes/XTSTestVectors.zip
As seen from the first benchmark run, AES-XEX was running pourly (even
slower than AES-CBC). This commit doubles the performances of the
current implementation.
XEX mode, known as "xor-encrypt-xor", is the simple case of the XTS
mode, known as "XEX with ciphertext stealing". When the buffers to be
encrypted/decrypted have a length divisible by the length of a standard
AES block (16), XTS is exactly like XEX.
When MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_MEMORY is defined but MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_FREE_MACRO or
MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_CALLOC_MACRO are not defined then the actual functions
used to allocate and free memory are stored in function pointers.
These pointers are exposed to the caller, and it means that the caller
and the library have to share a data section.
In TF-A, we execute in a very constrained environment, where some images
are executed from ROM and other images are executed from SRAM. The
images that are executed from ROM cannot be modified. The SRAM size
is very small and we are moving libraries to the ROM that can be shared
between the different SRAM images. These SRAM images could import all the
symbols used in mbedtls, but it would create an undesirable hard binary
dependency between the different images. For this reason, all the library
functions in ROM are accesed using a jump table whose base address is
known, allowing the images to execute with different versions of the ROM.
This commit changes the function pointers to actual functions,
so that the SRAM images only have to use the new exported symbols
(mbedtls_calloc and mbedtls_free) using the jump table. In
our scenario, mbedtls_platform_set_calloc_free is called from
mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_init which initializes the function pointers
to the internal buffer_alloc_calloc and buffer_alloc_free functions.
No functional changes to mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_init.

Motivation is similar to NO_UDBL_DIVISION.
The alternative implementation of 64-bit mult is straightforward and aims at
obvious correctness. Also, visual examination of the generate assembly show
that it's quite efficient with clang, armcc5 and arm-clang. However current
GCC generates fairly inefficient code for it.
I tried to rework the code in order to make GCC generate more efficient code.
Unfortunately the only way to do that is to get rid of 64-bit add and handle
the carry manually, but this causes other compilers to generate less efficient
code with branches, which is not acceptable from a side-channel point of view.
So let's keep the obvious code that works for most compilers and hope future
versions of GCC learn to manage registers in a sensible way in that context.

- in x509_profile_check_pk_alg
- in x509_profile_check_md_alg
- in x509_profile_check_key
and in ssl_cli.c : unsigned char gets promoted to signed integer
Allowing DECRYPT with crypt_and_tag is a risk as people might fail to check
the tag correctly (or at all). So force them to use auth_decrypt() instead.

When MBEDTLS_TIMING_C was not defined in config.h, but the MemSan
memory sanitizer was activated, entropy_poll.c used memset without
declaring it. Fix this by including string.h unconditionally.
As a protection against the Lucky Thirteen attack, the TLS code for
CBC decryption in encrypt-then-MAC mode performs extra MAC
calculations to compensate for variations in message size due to
padding. The amount of extra MAC calculation to perform was based on
the assumption that the bulk of the time is spent in processing
64-byte blocks, which is correct for most supported hashes but not for
SHA-384. Correct the amount of extra work for SHA-384 (and SHA-512
which is currently not used in TLS, and MD2 although no one should
care about that).
Fix IAR compiler warnings
Two warnings have been fixed:
1. code 'if( len <= 0xFFFFFFFF )' gave warning 'pointless integer comparison'.
This was fixed by wraping the condition in '#if SIZE_MAX > 0xFFFFFFFF'.
2. code 'diff |= A[i] ^ B[i];' gave warning 'the order of volatile accesses is undefined in'.
This was fixed by read the volatile data in temporary variables before the computation.
Explain IAR warning on volatile access
Consistent use of CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID
The cast to void was motivated by the assumption that the functions only
return non-zero when passed bad arguments, but that might not be true of
alternative implementation, for example on hardware failure.
- need HW failure codes too
- re-use relevant poly codes for chachapoly to save on limited space
Values were chosen to leave 3 free slots at the end of the NET odd range.
That's what it is. So we shouldn't set a block size != 1.
While at it, move call to chachapoly_update() closer to the one for GCM, as
they are similar (AEAD).
This reduces clutter, making the functions more readable.
Also, it makes lcov see each line as covered. This is not cheating, as the
lines that were previously seen as not covered are not supposed to be reached
anyway (failing branches of the selftests).
Thanks to this and previous test suite enhancements, lcov now sees chacha20.c
and poly1305.c at 100% line coverage, and for chachapoly.c only two lines are
not covered (error returns from lower-level module that should never happen
except perhaps if an alternative implementation returns an unexpected error).
This module used (len, pointer) while (pointer, len) is more common in the
rest of the library, in particular it's what's used in the GCM API that
very comparable to it, so switch to (pointer, len) for consistency.
Note that the crypt_and_tag() and auth_decrypt() functions were already using
the same convention as GCM, so this also increases intra-module consistency.
This module used (len, pointer) while (pointer, len) is more common in the
rest of the library, in particular it's what's used in the CMAC API that is
very comparable to Poly1305, so switch to (pointer, len) for consistency.
In addition to making the APIs of the various AEAD modules more consistent
with each other, it's useful to have an auth_decrypt() function so that we can
safely check the tag ourselves, as the user might otherwise do it in an
insecure way (or even forget to do it altogether).
While the old name is explicit and aligned with the RFC, it's also very long,
so with the mbedtls_ prefix prepended we get a 31-char prefix to each
identifier, which quickly conflicts with our 80-column policy.
The new name is shorter, it's what a lot of people use when speaking about
that construction anyway, and hopefully should not introduce confusion at
it seems unlikely that variants other than 20/1305 be standardised in the
foreseeable future.
- in .h files: only put the context declaration inside the #ifdef _ALT
(this was changed in 2.9.0, ie after the original PR)
- in .c file: only leave selftest out of _ALT: even though some function are
trivial to build from other parts, alt implementors might want to go another
way about them (for efficiency or other reasons)
I refactored some code into the function mbedtls_constant_time_memcmp
in commit 7aad291 but this function is only used by GCM and
AEAD_ChaCha20_Poly1305 to check the tags. So this function is now
only enabled if either of these two ciphers is enabled.
This change permits users of the ChaCha20/Poly1305 algorithms
(and the AEAD construction thereof) to pass NULL pointers for
data that they do not need, and avoids the need to provide a valid
buffer for data that is not used.
This implementation is based off the description in RFC 7539.
The ChaCha20 code is also updated to provide a means of generating
keystream blocks with arbitrary counter values. This is used to
generated the one-time Poly1305 key in the AEAD construction.

Rename to mbedtls_ssl_get_async_operation_data and
mbedtls_ssl_set_async_operation_data so that they're about
"async operation data" and not about some not-obvious "data".
When a handshake step starts an asynchronous operation, the
application needs to know which SSL connection the operation is for,
so that when the operation completes, the application can wake that
connection up. Therefore the async start callbacks need to take the
SSL context as an argument. It isn't enough to let them set a cookie
in the SSL connection, the application needs to be able to find the
right SSL connection later.
Also pass the SSL context to the other callbacks for consistency. Add
a new field to the handshake that the application can use to store a
per-connection context. This new field replaces the former
context (operation_ctx) that was created by the start function and
passed to the resume function.
Add a boolean flag to the handshake structure to track whether an
asynchronous operation is in progress. This is more robust than
relying on the application to set a non-null application context.
Change the signature of mbedtls_ssl_handshake_free again. Now take the
whole SSL context as argument and not just the configuration and the
handshake substructure.
This is in preparation for changing the asynchronous cancel callback
to take the SSL context as an argument.
In the refactoring of ssl_parse_encrypted_pms, I advertently broke the
case when decryption signalled an error, with the variable ret getting
overwritten before calculating diff. Move the calculation of diff
immediately after getting the return code to make the connection more
obvious. Also move the calculation of mask immediately after the
calculation of diff, which doesn't change the behavior, because I find
the code clearer that way.

* ChangeLog: put the new entry from my branch in the proper place.
* include/mbedtls/error.h: counted high-level module error codes again.
* include/mbedtls/ssl.h: picked different numeric codes for the
concurrently added errors; made the new error a full sentence per
current standards.
* library/error.c: ran scripts/generate_errors.pl.
* library/ssl_srv.c:

(4cb1f4d49c) which I merged with
my refactoring.
* ssl_prepare_server_key_exchange "For key exchanges involving the

* dig_signed_len: added in async
* signature_len: removed in async
* hashlen: type changed to size_t in development
* hash: size changed to MBEDTLS_MD_MAX_SIZE in async
* ret: added in async

corrections in development (4cb1f4d49c)
which I merged with my comment changes made as part of refactoring
the function.
* ssl_prepare_server_key_exchange "Compute the hash to be signed" if
`md_alg != MBEDTLS_MD_NONE`: conflict between
ebd652fe2d
"ssl_write_server_key_exchange: calculate hashlen explicitly" and
46f5a3e9b4 "Check return codes from
MD in ssl code". I took the code from commit
ca1d742904 made on top of development
which makes mbedtls_ssl_get_key_exchange_md_ssl_tls return the
hash length.
* programs/ssl/ssl_server2.c: multiple conflicts between the introduction
of MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_ASYNC_IN_PROGRESS and new auxiliary functions and
definitions for async support, and the introduction of idle().
* definitions before main: concurrent additions, kept both.
* main, just after `handshake:`: in the loop around
mbedtls_ssl_handshake(), merge the addition of support for
MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_ASYNC_IN_PROGRESS and SSL_ASYNC_INJECT_ERROR_CANCEL
with the addition of the idle() call.
* main, if `opt.transport == MBEDTLS_SSL_TRANSPORT_STREAM`: take the
code from development and add a check for
MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_ASYNC_IN_PROGRESS.
* main, loop around mbedtls_ssl_read() in the datagram case:
take the code from development and add a check for
MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_ASYNC_IN_PROGRESS; revert to a do...while loop.
* main, loop around mbedtls_ssl_write() in the datagram case:
take the code from development and add a check for
MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_ASYNC_IN_PROGRESS; revert to a do...while loop.
In mbedtls_ssl_get_key_exchange_md_tls1_2, add an output parameter for
the hash length. The code that calls this function can currently do
without it, but it will need the hash length in the future, when
adding support for a third-party callback to calculate the signature
of the hash.
