Lengths below 128 Bytes must be encoded as a single 'XX' byte in DER,
but two tests in the X.509 CRT parsing suite used the BER but non-DER
encoding '81 XX' (the first byte 10000001 indicating that the length
is to follow (high bit) and has length 1 byte (low bit)).
Previously, a test exercising the X.509 CRT parser's behaviour
on unexpected tags would use a '00' byte in place of the tag
for the expected structure. This makes reviewing the examples
harder because the binary data isn't valid DER-encoded ASN.1.
This commit uses the ASN.1 NULL TLV '05 00' to test invalid
tags, and adapts surrounding structures' length values accordingly.
This eases reviewing because now the ASN.1 structures are still
well-formed at the place where the mismatch occurs.
- Explain the use of explicit ASN.1 tagging for the extensions structuree
- Remove misleading comment which suggests that mbedtls_x509_get_ext()
also parsed the header of the first extension, which is not the case.
Some functions within the X.509 module return an ASN.1 low level
error code where instead this error code should be wrapped by a
high-level X.509 error code as in the bulk of the module.
Specifically, the following functions are affected:
- mbedtls_x509_get_ext()
- x509_get_version()
- x509_get_uid()
This commit modifies these functions to always return an
X.509 high level error code.
Care has to be taken when adapting `mbetls_x509_get_ext()`:
Currently, the callers `mbedtls_x509_crt_ext()` treat the
return code `MBEDTLS_ERR_ASN1_UNEXPECTED_TAG` specially to
gracefully detect and continue if the extension structure is not
present. Wrapping the ASN.1 error with
`MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_INVALID_EXTENSIONS` and adapting the check
accordingly would mean that an unexpected tag somewhere
down the extension parsing would be ignored by the caller.
The way out of this is the following: Luckily, the extension
structure is always the last field in the surrounding structure,
so if there is some data remaining, it must be an Extension
structure, so we don't need to deal with a tag mismatch gracefully
in the first place.
We may therefore wrap the return code from the initial call to
`mbedtls_asn1_get_tag()` in `mbedtls_x509_get_ext()` by
`MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_INVALID_EXTENSIONS` and simply remove
the special treatment of `MBEDTLS_ERR_ASN1_UNEXPECTED_TAG`
in the callers `x509_crl_get_ext()` and `x509_crt_get_ext()`.
This renders `mbedtls_x509_get_ext()` unsuitable if it ever
happened that an Extension structure is optional and does not
occur at the end of its surrounding structure, but for CRTs
and CRLs, it's fine.
The following tests need to be adapted:
- "TBSCertificate v3, issuerID wrong tag"
The issuerID is optional, so if we look for its presence
but find a different tag, we silently continue and try
parsing the subjectID, and then the extensions. The tag '00'
used in this test doesn't match either of these, and the
previous code would hence return LENGTH_MISMATCH after
unsucessfully trying issuerID, subjectID and Extensions.
With the new code, any data remaining after issuerID and
subjectID _must_ be Extension data, so we fail with
UNEXPECTED_TAG when trying to parse the Extension data.
- "TBSCertificate v3, UIDs, invalid length"
The test hardcodes the expectation of
MBEDTLS_ERR_ASN1_INVALID_LENGTH, which needs to be
wrapped in MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_INVALID_FORMAT now.
Fixes#2431.
When parsing a substructure of an ASN.1 structure, no field within
the substructure must exceed the bounds of the substructure.
Concretely, the `end` pointer passed to the ASN.1 parsing routines
must be updated to point to the end of the substructure while parsing
the latter.
This was previously not the case for the routines
- x509_get_attr_type_and_value(),
- mbedtls_x509_get_crt_ext(),
- mbedtls_x509_get_crl_ext().
These functions kept using the end of the parent structure as the
`end` pointer and would hence allow substructure fields to cross
the substructure boundary. This could lead to successful parsing
of ill-formed X.509 CRTs.
This commit fixes this.
Care has to be taken when adapting `mbedtls_x509_get_crt_ext()`
and `mbedtls_x509_get_crl_ext()`, as the underlying function
`mbedtls_x509_get_ext()` returns `0` if no extensions are present
but doesn't set the variable which holds the bounds of the Extensions
structure in case the latter is present. This commit addresses
this by returning early from `mbedtls_x509_get_crt_ext()` and
`mbedtls_x509_get_crl_ext()` if parsing has reached the end of
the input buffer.
The following X.509 parsing tests need to be adapted:
- "TBSCertificate, issuer two inner set datas"
This test exercises the X.509 CRT parser with a Subject name
which has two empty `AttributeTypeAndValue` structures.
This is supposed to fail with `MBEDTLS_ERR_ASN1_OUT_OF_DATA`
because the parser should attempt to parse the first structure
and fail because of a lack of data. Previously, it failed to
obey the (0-length) bounds of the first AttributeTypeAndValue
structure and would try to interpret the beginning of the second
AttributeTypeAndValue structure as the first field of the first
AttributeTypeAndValue structure, returning an UNEXPECTED_TAG error.
- "TBSCertificate, issuer, no full following string"
This test exercises the parser's behaviour on an AttributeTypeAndValue
structure which contains more data than expected; it should therefore
fail with MBEDTLS_ERR_ASN1_LENGTH_MISMATCH. Because of the missing bounds
check, it previously failed with UNEXPECTED_TAG because it interpreted
the remaining byte in the first AttributeTypeAndValue structure as the
first byte in the second AttributeTypeAndValue structure.
- "SubjectAltName repeated"
This test should exercise two SubjectAltNames extensions in succession,
but a wrong length values makes the second SubjectAltNames extension appear
outside of the Extensions structure. With the new bounds in place, this
therefore fails with a LENGTH_MISMATCH error. This commit adapts the test
data to put the 2nd SubjectAltNames extension inside the Extensions
structure, too.
This commit updates the Crypto submodule to the merge commit of
https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-crypto/pull/133
which mirrors the change of the DHM selftest, making the latter
succeed in builds with !MBEDTLS_PEM_PARSE_C.
All of them are copied from (former) CRT and key files in `tests/data_files`.
For files which have been regenerated since they've been copied to `certs.c`,
update the copy.
Add declarations for DER encoded test CRTs to certs.h
Add DER encoded versions of CRTs to certs.c
fix comment in certs.c
Don't use (signed) char for DER encoded certificates
Consistently use `const char *` for test CRTs regardless of encoding
Remove non-sensical and unused PW variable for DER encoded key
Provide test CRTs in PEM and DER fmt, + pick suitable per config
This commit modifies `certs.h` and `certs.c` to start following the
following pattern for the provided test certificates and files:
- Raw test data is named `NAME_ATTR1_ATTR2_..._ATTRn`
For example, there are
`TEST_CA_CRT_{RSA|EC}_{PEM|DER}_{SHA1|SHA256}`.
- Derived test data with fewer attributes, iteratively defined as one
of the raw test data instances which suits the current configuration.
For example,
`TEST_CA_CRT_RSA_PEM`
is one of `TEST_CA_CRT_RSA_PEM_SHA1` or `TEST_CA_CRT_RSA_PEM_SHA256`,
depending on whether SHA-1 and/or SHA-256 are defined in the current
config.
Add missing public declaration of test key password
Fix signedness and naming mismatches
Further improve structure of certs.h and certs.c
Fix definition of mbedtls_test_cas test CRTs depending on config
Remove semicolon after macro string constant in certs.c
This allows to test PSK-based ciphersuites via ssl_server2 in builds
which have MBEDTLS_X509_CRT_PARSE_C enabled but both MBEDTLS_FS_IO and
MBEDTLS_CERTS_C disabled.
This allows to test PSK-based ciphersuites via ssl_client2 in builds

A similar change is applied to the `crt_file` and `key_file` arguments.
