mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate() will fail if a ciphersuite requires
a certificate, but none is provided. While it is sensible to double-
check this, failure should be reported as an internal error and not
as an unexpected message.
A subsequent commit will need this function in the session ticket
and session cache implementations. As the latter are server-side,
this commit also removes the MBEDTLS_SSL_CLI_C guard.
For now, the function is declared in ssl_internal.h and hence not
part of the public API.
This commit modifies the helper `ssl_parse_certificate_chain()` to
accep any target X.509 CRT chain instead of hardcoding it to
`session_negotiate->peer_cert`. This increases modularity and paves
the way towards removing `mbedtls_ssl_session::peer_cert`.
This commit simplifies the client-side code for outgoing CertificateVerify
messages, and server-side code for outgoing CertificateRequest messages and
incoming CertificateVerify messages, through the use of the macro
`MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE__CERT_REQ_ALLOWED__ENABLED`
indicating whether a ciphersuite allowing CertificateRequest messages
is enabled in the configuration, as well as the helper function
`mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_cert_req_allowed()`
indicating whether a particular ciphersuite allows CertificateRequest
messages.
These were already used in the client-side code to simplify the
parsing functions for CertificateRequest messages.
This commit adds a helper function `ssl_parse_certificate_coordinate()`
which checks whether a `Certificate` message is expected from the peer.
The logic is the following:
- For ciphersuites which don't use server-side CRTs, no Certificate
message is expected (neither for the server, nor the client).
- On the server, no client certificate is expected in the following cases:
* The server server didn't request a Certificate, which is controlled
by the `authmode` setting.
* A RSA-PSK suite is used; this is the only suite using server CRTs
but not allowing client-side authentication.
This commit introduces a static helper function
`mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_uses_srv_cert()`
which determines whether a ciphersuite may make use of server-side CRTs.
This function is in turn uses in `mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate()` to
skip certificate parsing for ciphersuites which don't involve CRTs.
Note: Ciphersuites not using server-side CRTs don't allow client-side CRTs
either, so it is safe to guard `mbedtls_ssl_{parse/write}_certificate()`
this way.
Note: Previously, the code uses a positive check over the suites
- MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_PSK
- MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_DHE_PSK
- MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECDHE_PSK
- MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECJPAKE,
while now, it uses a negative check over `mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_uses_srv_cert()`,
which checks for the suites
- MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_RSA
- MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_RSA_PSK
- MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_DHE_RSA
- MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECDH_RSA
- MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECDHE_RSA
- MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECDH_ECDSA
- MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECDHE_ECDSA
This is equivalent since, together, those are all ciphersuites.

The handler `mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate()` for incoming `Certificate`
messages contains many branches updating the handshake state. For easier
reasoning about state evolution, this commit introduces a single code-path
updating the state machine at the end of `mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate()`.
If an attempt for session resumption fails, the `session_negotiate` structure
might be partially filled, and in particular already contain a peer certificate
structure. This certificate structure needs to be freed before parsing the
certificate sent in the `Certificate` message.
This commit moves the code-path taking care of this from the helper
function `ssl_parse_certificate_chain()`, whose purpose should be parsing
only, to the top-level handler `mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate()`.
The fact that we don't know the state of `ssl->session_negotiate` after
a failed attempt for session resumption is undesirable, and a separate
issue #2414 has been opened to improve on this.
This commit introduces a server-side static helper function
`ssl_srv_check_client_no_crt_notification()`, which checks if
the message we received during the incoming certificate state
notifies the server of the lack of certificate on the client.
For SSLv3, such a notification comes as a specific alert,
while for all other TLS versions, it comes as a `Certificate`
handshake message with an empty CRT list.
So far, we've used the `peer_cert` pointer to detect whether
we're parsing the first CRT, but that will soon be removed
if `MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE` is unset.
This commit introduces a helper function `ssl_clear_peer_cert()`
which frees all data related to the peer's certificate from an
`mbedtls_ssl_session` structure. Currently, this is the peer's
certificate itself, while eventually, it'll be its digest only.
After mitigating the 'triple handshake attack' by checking that
the peer's end-CRT didn't change during renegotation, the current
code avoids re-parsing the CRT by moving the CRT-pointer from the
old session to the new one. While efficient, this will no longer
work once only the hash of the peer's CRT is stored beyond the
handshake.
This commit removes the code-path moving the old CRT, and instead
frees the entire peer CRT chain from the initial handshake as soon
as the 'triple handshake attack' protection has completed.
Additional work done as part of merge:
- Run ./tests/scripts/check-generated-files.sh and check in the
resulting changes to programs/ssl/query_config.c
- Populate the ECDH private key slot with a fresh private EC key
designated for the correct algorithm.
- Export the public part of the ECDH private key from PSA and
reformat it to suite the format of the ClientKeyExchange message.
- Perform the PSA-based ECDH key agreement and store the result
as the premaster secret for the connection.
- Reformat the server's ECDH public key to make it suitable
for the PSA key agreement API. Currently, the key agreement
API needs a full SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure, while the
TLS ServerKeyExchange message only contains a ECPoint structure.
This is the first in a series of commits adding client-side
support for PSA-based ECDHE.
Previously, the state of an ECDHE key agreement was maintained
in the field mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::ecdh_ctx, of type
::mbedtls_ecdh_context and manipulated through the ECDH API.
The ECDH API will be superseeded by the PSA Crypto API for key
agreement, which needs the following data:
(a) A raw buffer holding the public part of the key agreement
received from our peer.
(b) A key slot holding the private part of the key agreement.
(c) The algorithm to use.
The commit adds fields to ::mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params
representing these three inputs to PSA-based key agreement.
Specifically, it adds a field for the key slot holding the
ECDH private key, a field for the EC curve identifier, and
a buffer holding the peer's public key.
Note: Storing the peer's public key buffer is slightly
inefficient, as one could perform the ECDH computation
as soon as the peer sends its public key, either working
with in-place or using a stack-buffer to reformat the
public key before passing it to PSA. This optimization
is left for a later commit.
