This commit changes the behavior of the record decryption routine
`ssl_decrypt_buf()` in the following situation:
1. A CBC ciphersuite with Encrypt-then-MAC is used.
2. A record with valid MAC but invalid CBC padding is received.
In this situation, the previous code would not raise and error but
instead forward the decrypted packet, including the wrong padding,
to the user.
This commit changes this behavior to return the error
MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_INVALID_MAC instead.
While erroneous, the previous behavior does not constitute a
security flaw since it can only happen for properly authenticated
records, that is, if the peer makes a mistake while preparing the
padded plaintext.
`mbedtls_ssl_get_record_expansion()` is supposed to return the maximum
difference between the size of a protected record and the size of the
encapsulated plaintext.
Previously, it did not correctly estimate the maximum record expansion
in case of CBC ciphersuites in (D)TLS versions 1.1 and higher, in which
case the ciphertext is prefixed by an explicit IV.
This commit fixes this bug. Fixes#1914.
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.
This PR fixes multiple issues in the source code to address issues raised by
tests/scripts/check-files.py. Specifically:
* incorrect file permissions
* missing newline at the end of files
* trailing whitespace
* Tabs present
* TODOs in the souce code
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 was correct for most supported hashes but not for
SHA-384. Adapt the formula to 128-byte blocks for SHA-384.
In mbedtls_ssl_derive_keys, don't call mbedtls_md_hmac_starts in
ciphersuites that don't use HMAC. This doesn't change the behavior of
the code, but avoids relying on an uncaught error when attempting to
start an HMAC operation that hadn't been initialized.
The _ext suffix suggests "new arguments", but the new functions have
the same arguments. Use _ret instead, to convey that the difference is
that the new functions return a value.
Conflict resolution:
* ChangeLog: put the new entries in their rightful place.
* library/x509write_crt.c: the change in development was whitespace
only, so use the one from the iotssl-1251 feature branch.
A previous commit changed the record encryption function
`ssl_encrypt_buf` to compute the MAC in a temporary buffer
and copying the relevant part of it (which is strictly smaller
if the truncated HMAC extension is used) to the outgoing message
buffer. However, the change was only made in case Encrypt-Then-MAC
was enabled, but not in case of MAC-Then-Encrypt. While this
doesn't constitute a problem, for the sake of uniformity this
commit changes `ssl_encrypt_buf` to compute the MAC in a temporary
buffer in this case, too.
* restricted/pr/403:
Correct record header size in case of TLS
Don't allocate space for DTLS header if DTLS is disabled
Improve debugging output
Adapt ChangeLog
Add run-time check for handshake message size in ssl_write_record
Add run-time check for record content size in ssl_encrypt_buf
Add compile-time checks for size of record content and payload
In a previous PR (Fix heap corruption in implementation of truncated HMAC
extension #425) the place where MAC is computed was changed from the end of
the SSL I/O buffer to a local buffer (then (part of) the content of the local
buffer is either copied to the output buffer of compare to the input buffer).
Unfortunately, this change was made only for TLS 1.0 and later, leaving SSL
3.0 in an inconsistent state due to ssl_mac() still writing to the old,
hard-coded location, which, for MAC verification, resulted in later comparing
the end of the input buffer (containing the computed MAC) to the local buffer
(uninitialised), most likely resulting in MAC verification failure, hence no
interop (even with ourselves).
This commit completes the move to using a local buffer by using this strategy
for SSL 3.0 too. Fortunately ssl_mac() was static so it's not a problem to
change its signature.
