A heap overread might happen when parsing malformed certificates.
Reported by Peng Li and Yueh-Hsun Lin.
Refactoring the parsing fixes the problem. This commit applies the
relevant part of the OpenVPN contribution applied to mbed TLS 1.3
in commit 17da9dd829.
Fixes many typos, and errors in comments.
* Clarifies many comments
* Grammar correction in config.pl help text
* Removed comment about MBEDTLS_X509_EXT_NS_CERT_TYPE.
* Comment typo fix (Dont => Don't)
* Comment typo fix (assure => ensure)
* Comment typo fix (byes => bytes)
* Added citation for quoted standard
* Comment typo fix (one complement => 1's complement)
The is some debate about whether to prefer "one's complement", "ones'
complement", or "1's complement". The more recent RFCs related to TLS
(RFC 6347, RFC 4347, etc) use " 1's complement", so I followed that
convention.
* Added missing ")" in comment
* Comment alignment
* Incorrect comment after #endif
Separates platform time abstraction into it's own header from the
general platform abstraction as both depend on different build options.
(MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_C vs MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME)
* gmtime_r is not standard so -std=c99 warns about it
* Anyway we need global mutexes in the threading layer, so better depend only
on that, rather that global mutexes + some _r functions
* mbedtls-1.3:
Add missing depends in x509 programs
Simplify ifdef checks in programs/x509
Fix thread safety issue in RSA operations
Add test certificate for bitstring in DN
Add support for X.520 uniqueIdentifier
Accept bitstrings in X.509 names
- more freedom for us to change it in the future
- enforces hygiene
- performance impact of making accessors no longer inline should really be
negligible
* rich/platform:
Remove dependency on sscanf in lib x509
Fix extra guard in memory_buffer_alloc
rebase from development
implemented macro overriding for polarssl_* library functions
fix bug introduced by the addition of snprintf and assert macro which caused tests to fail without polarssl_platform_c defined
add initial symbols to config and checks to check_config to allow use of macros to define standard functions
reformat and arrange additions to config alphabetically
add missing checks to check_config
add macro definition of assert using polarssl_exit
modify library/memory_buffer_alloc.c, benchmark.c and the tests main code to use polarssl_exit
add POLARSSL_PLATFORM_EXIT_ALT
modify scripts/* and tests/* to use polarssl_snprintf
modify programs/*.c to use polarssl_snprintf
modify library/debug.c to use polarssl_snprintf
modify library/x509*.c to use polarssl_snprintf
modify library/net.c to use polarssl_snprintf
modify oid.c to use polarssl_snprintf
add platform_set_snprintf
