With the introduction of `mbedtls_x509_crt_get_{issuer|name}()`,
users need an easy way of freeing the dynamic name structures these
functions return.
To that end, this commit renames `x509_{sequence|name}_free()`
to `mbedtls_x509_{sequence|name}_free()` and gives them external linkage.
At every occasion where we're using `mbedtls_x509_memcasecmp()` we're
checking that the two buffer lengths coincide before making the call.
This commit saves a few bytes of code by moving this length check
to `mbedtls_x509_memcasecmp()`.
There are three operations that need to be performed on an X.509 name:
1 Initial traversal to check well-formedness of the ASN.1 structure.
2 Comparison between two X.509 name sequences.
3 Checking whether an X.509 name matches a client's ServerName request.
Each of these tasks involves traversing the nested ASN.1 structure,
In the interest of saving code, we aim to provide a single function
which can perform all of the above tasks.
The existing comparison function is already suitable not only for task 2,
but also for 1: One can simply pass two equal ASN.1 name buffers, in which
case the function will succeed if and only if that buffer is a well-formed
ASN.1 name.
This commit further adds a callback to `mbedtls_x509_name_cmp_raw()` which
is called after each successful step in the simultaneous name traversal and
comparison; it may perform any operation on the current name and potentially
signal that the comparison should be aborted.
With that, task 3 can be implemented by passing equal names and a callback
which aborts as soon as it finds the desired name component.
This commit replaces the previous calls to `mbedtls_x509_name_cmp()`
during CRT verification (to match child and parent, to check whether
a CRT is self-issued, and to match CRLs and CAs) by calls to the new
`mbedtls_x509_name_cmp_raw()` using the raw ASN.1 data; it passes the
raw buffers introduced in the last commits.
The previous name comparison function mbedtls_x509_name_cmp() is now
both unused and unneeded, and is removed.
This commit provides a new function `mbedtls_x509_name_cmp_raw()`
to x509.c for comparing to X.509 names by traversing the raw ASN.1
data (as opposed to using the dynamically allocated linked list
of `mbedtls_x509_name` structures). It has external linkage because
it will be needed in `x509_crt` and `x509_crl`, but is marked
internal and hence not part of the public API.
The function `mbedtls_x509_sig_alg_gets()` previously needed the
raw ASN.1 OID string even though it is implicit in the PK and MD
parameters.
This commit modifies `mbedtls_x509_sig_alg_gets()` to infer the OID
and remove it from the parameters.
This will be needed for the new X.509 CRT structure which will
likely not store the signature OID.
Care has to be taken to handle the case of RSASSA-PSS correctly,
where the hash algorithm in the OID list is set to MBEDTLS_MD_NONE
because it's only determined by the algorithm parameters.
Consider the following code-template:
int beef();
static int foo()
{
/* ... */
ret = beef();
if( ret != 0 )
return( ret + HIGH_LEVEL );
/* ... */
}
int bar()
{
/* ... */
ret = foo();
if( ret != 0 )
...
/* ... */
}
This leads to slightly larger code than expected, because when the
compiler inlines foo() into bar(), the sequence of return sequences
cannot be squashed, because compiler might not have knowledge that
the wrapping `ret + HIGH_LEVEL` of the return value of beef() doesn't
lead to foo() returning 0.
This can be avoided by performing error code wrapping in nested
functions calls at the top of the call chain.
This commit applies this slight optimization to mbedtls_x509_get_name().
It also moves various return statements into a single exit section,
again with the intend to save code.
X.509 names in ASN.1 are encoded as ASN.1 SEQUENCEs of ASN.1 SETs
of Attribute-Value pairs, one for each component in the name. (For
example, there could be an Attribute-Value pair for "DN=www.mbedtls.org").
So far, `mbedtls_x509_get_name()` parsed such names by two nested
loops, the outer one traversing the outer ASN.1 SEQUENCE and the
inner one the ASN.1 SETs.
This commit introduces a helper function `x509_set_sequence_iterate()`
which implements an iterator through an ASN.1 name buffer; the state
of the iterator is a triple consisting of
- the current read pointer
- the end of the current SET
- the end of the name buffer
The iteration step reads a new SET if the current read pointer has
reached the end of the current SET, and afterwards reads the next
AttributeValue pair.
This way, iteration through the X.509 name data can be implemented
in a single loop, which increases readability and slightly reduces
the code-size.
This commit introduces a macro `MBEDTLS_ASN1_IS_STRING_TAG`
that can be used to check if an ASN.1 tag is among the list
of string tags:
- MBEDTLS_ASN1_BMP_STRING
- MBEDTLS_ASN1_UTF8_STRING
- MBEDTLS_ASN1_T61_STRING
- MBEDTLS_ASN1_IA5_STRING
- MBEDTLS_ASN1_UNIVERSAL_STRING
- MBEDTLS_ASN1_PRINTABLE_STRING
- MBEDTLS_ASN1_BIT_STRING
`x509_get_attr_type_value()` checks for the presence of a tag byte
and reads and stores it before calling `mbedtls_asn1_get_tag()` which
fails if either the tag byte is not present or not as expected. Therefore,
the manual check can be removed and left to `mbedtls_asn1_get_tag()`, and
the tag can be hardcoded after the call succeeded. This saves a few bytes
of code.
Introduce MBEDTLS_X509_INFO to indicate the availability of the
mbedtls_x509_*_info() function and closely related APIs. When this is
not defined, also omit name and description from
mbedtls_oid_descriptor_t, and omit OID arrays, macros, and types that
are entirely unused. This saves several KB of code space.

- 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 improves hygiene and formatting of macro definitions
throughout the library. Specifically:
- It adds brackets around parameters to avoid unintended
interpretation of arguments, e.g. due to operator precedence.
- It adds uses of the `do { ... } while( 0 )` idiom for macros that
can be used as commands.
As noted in #557, several functions use 'index' resp. 'time'
as parameter names in their declaration and/or definition, causing name
conflicts with the functions in the C standard library of the same
name some compilers warn about.
This commit renames the arguments accordingly.

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
