Refactor the function mbedtls_asn1_write_bitstring() that removes
trailing 0s at the end of DER encoded bitstrings. The function is
implemented according to Hanno Becker's suggestions.
This commit also changes the functions x509write_crt_set_ns_cert_type
and crt_set_key_usage to call the new function as the use named
bitstrings instead of the regular bitstrings.
In mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod(), the limit check on wsize is never true when
MBEDTLS_MPI_WINDOW_SIZE is at least 6. Wrap in a preprocessor guard
to remove the dead code and resolve a Coverity finding from the
DEADCODE checker.

DTLS records from previous epochs were incorrectly checked against the
current epoch transform's minimal content length, leading to the
rejection of entire datagrams. This commit fixed that and adapts two
test cases accordingly.

We were still reusing the internal HMAC-DRBG of the deterministic ECDSA
for blinding. This meant that with cryptographically low likelyhood the
result was not the same signature as the one the deterministic ECDSA
algorithm has to produce (however it is still a valid ECDSA signature).
To correct this we seed a second HMAC-DRBG with the same seed to restore
correct behavior. We also apply a label to avoid reusing the bits of the
ephemeral key for a different purpose and reduce the chance that they
leak.
This workaround can't be implemented in the restartable case without
penalising the case where external RNG is available or completely
defeating the purpose of the restartable feature, therefore in this case
the small chance of incorrect behavior remains.
`mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det` reuses the internal HMAC-DRBG instance to
implement blinding. The advantage of this is that the algorithm is
deterministic too, not just the resulting signature. The drawback is
that the blinding is always the same for the same key and message.
This diminishes the efficiency of blinding and leaks information about
the private key.
A function that takes external randomness fixes this weakness.
Use `cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Asan` rather than manually setting
`-fsanitize=address`. This lets cmake determine the necessary compiler
and linker flags.
With UNSAFE_BUILD on, force -Wno-error. This is necessary to build
with MBEDTLS_TEST_NULL_ENTROPY.
Return the error code if failed, instead of returning value `1`.
If not failed, return the call of the underlying function,
in `mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey()`.
Change the secondary X509 CSR parsing call for the alternative MS header to only
occur if the first call fails due to the header being unfound, instead of any
call.
Add support for RFC7468, and the alternative Microsoft footer/headers for CSR's
that contain the text 'BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST' instead of
'BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST'.
Refactor `mpi_write_hlp()` to not be recursive, to fix stack overflows.
Iterate over the `mbedtls_mpi` division of the radix requested,
until it is zero. Each iteration, put the residue in the next LSB
of the output buffer. Fixes#2190
In mbedtls_mpi_write_binary, avoid leaking the size of the number
through timing or branches, if possible. More precisely, if the number
fits in the output buffer based on its allocated size, the new code's
trace doesn't depend on the value of the number.
Previously, when checking whether a CRT was revoked through
one of the configured CRLs, the library would only consider
those CRLs whose `issuer` field binary-matches the `subject`
field of the CA that has issued the CRT in question. If those
fields were not binary equivalent, the corresponding CRL was
discarded.
This is not in line with RFC 5280, which demands that the
comparison should be format- and case-insensitive. For example:
- If the same string is once encoded as a `PrintableString` and
another time as a `UTF8String`, they should compare equal.
- If two strings differ only in their choice of upper and lower case
letters, they should compare equal.
This commit fixes this by using the dedicated x509_name_cmp()
function to compare the CRL issuer with the CA subject.
Fixes#1784.
This commit fixes issue #1212 related to platform-specific entropy
polling in an syscall-emulated environment.
Previously, the implementation of the entropy gathering function
`mbedtls_platform_entropy_poll()` for linux machines used the
following logic to determine how to obtain entropy from the kernel:
1. If the getrandom() system call identifier SYS_getrandom is present and
the kernel version is 3.17 or higher, use syscall( SYS_getrandom, ... )
2. Otherwise, fall back to reading from /dev/random.
There are two issues with this:
1. Portability:
When cross-compiling the code for a different
architecture and running it through system call
emulation in qemu, qemu reports the host kernel
version through uname but, as of v.2.5.0,
doesn't support emulating the getrandom() syscall.
This leads to `mbedtls_platform_entropy_poll()`
failing even though reading from /dev/random would
have worked.
2. Style:
Extracting the linux kernel version from
the output of `uname` is slightly tedious.
This commit fixes both by implementing the suggestion in #1212:
- It removes the kernel-version detection through uname().
- Instead, it checks whether `syscall( SYS_getrandom, ... )`
fails with errno set to ENOSYS indicating an unknown system call.
If so, it falls through to trying to read from /dev/random.
Fixes#1212.
Use `( x >> y ) & z` instead of `x >> y & z`. Both are equivalent
by operator precedence, but the former is more readable and the
commonly used idiom in the library.
stdio.h was being included both conditionally if MBEDTLS_FS_IO was
defined, and also unconditionally, which made at least one of them
redundant.
This change removes the unconditional inclusion of stdio.h and makes it
conditional on MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_C.
Context: This commit makes a change to mbedtls_pk_parse_key() which
is responsible for parsing of private keys. The function doesn't know
the key format in advance (PEM vs. DER, encrypted vs. unencrypted) and
tries them one by one, resetting the PK context in between.
Issue: The previous code resets the PK context through a call to
mbedtls_pk_free() along, lacking the accompanying mbedtls_pk_init()
call. Practically, this is not an issue because functionally
mbedtls_pk_free() + mbedtls_pk_init() is equivalent to mbedtls_pk_free()
with the current implementation of these functions, but strictly
speaking it's nonetheless a violation of the API semantics according
to which xxx_free() functions leave a context in uninitialized state.
(yet not entirely random, because xxx_free() functions must be idempotent,
so they cannot just fill the context they operate on with garbage).
Change: The commit adds calls to mbedtls_pk_init() after those calls
to mbedtls_pk_free() within mbedtls_pk_parse_key() after which the
PK context might still be used.
When a random number is generated for the Miller-Rabin primality test,
if the bit length of the random number is larger than the number being
tested, the random number is shifted right to have the same bit length.
This introduces bias, as the random number is now guaranteed to be
larger than 2^(bit length-1).
Changing this to instead zero all bits higher than the tested numbers
bit length will remove this bias and keep the random number being
uniformly generated.
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.
This commit duplicates the public function mbedtls_asn1_find_named_data()
defined in library/asn1parse.c within library/asn1write.c in order to
avoid a dependency of the ASN.1 writing module on the ASN.1 parsing module.
The duplication is unproblematic from a semantic and an efficiency
perspective becasue it is just a short list traversal that doesn't
actually do any ASN.1 parsing.
Previously, mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() was unconditionally declared
in `pkcs5.h` but defined as a stub returning
`MBEDTLS_ERR_PKCS5_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE` in case
MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C was not defined.
In line with the previous commits, this commit removes declaration
and definition from both `pkcs5.h` and `pkcs5.c` in case
MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C is not defined.
This commit ensures that buffers holding fragmented or
handshake messages get zeroized before they are freed
when the respective handshake message is no longer needed.
Previously, the handshake message content would leak on
the heap.
The code assumed that `int x = - (unsigned) u` with 0 <= u < INT_MAX
sets `x` to the negative of u, but actually this calculates
(UINT_MAX - u) and then converts this value to int, which overflows.
Cast to int before applying the unary minus operator to guarantee the
desired behavior.
The code was making two unsequenced reads from volatile locations.
This is undefined behavior. It was probably harmless because we didn't
care in what order the reads happened and the reads were from ordinary
memory, but UB is UB and IAR8 complained.
The input distribution to primality testing functions is completely
different when used for generating primes and when for validating
primes. The constants used in the library are geared towards the prime
generation use case and are weak when used for validation. (Maliciously
constructed composite numbers can pass the test with high probability)
The mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() function is in the public API and although it
is not documented, it is reasonable to assume that the primary use case
is validating primes. The RSA module too uses it for validating key
material.
This commit removes the definition of the API function
`mbedtls_platform_set_calloc_free()`
from `library/platform.c` in case the macros
`MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_CALLOC_MACRO`
`MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_FREE_MACRO`
for compile time configuration of calloc/free are set.
This is in line with the corresponding header `mbedtls/platform.h`
which declares `mbedtls_platform_set_calloc_free()` only if
`MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_{CALLOC/FREE}_MACRO` are not defined.
Fixes#1642.
The previous code triggered a compiler warning because of a comparison
of a signed and an unsigned integer.
The conversion is safe because `len` is representable by 16-bits,
hence smaller than the maximum integer.
In the previous bounds check `(*p) > end - len`, the computation
of `end - len` might underflow if `end` is within the first 64KB
of the address space (note that the length `len` is controlled by
the peer). In this case, the bounds check will be bypassed, leading
to `*p` exceed the message bounds by up to 64KB when leaving
`ssl_parse_server_psk_hint()`. In a pure PSK-based handshake,
this doesn't seem to have any consequences, as `*p*` is not accessed
afterwards. In a PSK-(EC)DHE handshake, however, `*p` is read from
in `ssl_parse_server_ecdh_params()` and `ssl_parse_server_dh_params()`
which might lead to an application crash of information leakage.
Get rid of the variable p. This makes it more apparent where the code
accesses the buffer at an offset whose value is sensitive.
No intended behavior change in this commit.
Rather than doing the quadratic-time constant-memory-trace on the
whole working buffer, do it on the section of the buffer where the
data to copy has to lie, which can be significantly smaller if the
output buffer is significantly smaller than the working buffer, e.g.
for TLS RSA ciphersuites (48 bytes vs MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE).
In mbedtls_rsa_rsaes_pkcs1_v15_decrypt, use size_greater_than (which
is based on bitwise operations) instead of the < operator to compare
sizes when the values being compared must not leak. Some compilers
compile < to a branch at least under some circumstances (observed with
gcc 5.4 for arm-gnueabi -O9 on a toy program).
Replace memmove(to, to + offset, length) by a functionally equivalent
function that strives to make the same memory access patterns
regardless of the value of length. This fixes an information leak
through timing (especially timing of memory accesses via cache probes)
that leads to a Bleichenbacher-style attack on PKCS#1 v1.5 decryption
using the plaintext length as the observable.
mbedtls_rsa_rsaes_pkcs1_v15_decrypt takes care not to reveal whether
the padding is valid or not, even through timing or memory access
patterns. This is a defense against an attack published by
Bleichenbacher. The attacker can also obtain the same information by
observing the length of the plaintext. The current implementation
leaks the length of the plaintext through timing and memory access
patterns.
This commit is a first step towards fixing this leak. It reduces the
leak to a single memmove call inside the working buffer.
Make the function more robust by taking an arbitrary zero/nonzero
argument instead of insisting on zero/all-bits-one. Update and fix its
documentation.
mbedtls_rsa_rsaes_pkcs1_v15_decrypt took care of calculating the
padding length without leaking the amount of padding or the validity
of the padding. However it then skipped the copying of the data if the
padding was invalid, which could allow an adversary to find out
whether the padding was valid through precise timing measurements,
especially if for a local attacker who could observe memory access via
cache timings.
Avoid this leak by always copying from the decryption buffer to the
output buffer, even when the padding is invalid. With invalid padding,
copy the same amount of data as what is expected on valid padding: the
minimum valid padding size if this fits in the output buffer,
otherwise the output buffer size. To avoid leaking payload data from
an unsuccessful decryption, zero the decryption buffer before copying
if the padding was invalid.
Deprecate mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update (which returns void) in favor of a
new function mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update_ret which reports error. The old
function is not officially marked as deprecated in this branch because
this is a stable maintenance branch.
Deprecate mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update (which returns void) in favor of a
new function mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret which reports error. The old
function is not officially marked as deprecated in this branch because
this is a stable maintenance branch.
When writing a private EC key, use a constant size for the private
value, as specified in RFC 5915. Previously, the value was written
as an ASN.1 INTEGER, which caused the size of the key to leak
about 1 bit of information on average, and could cause the value to be
1 byte too large for the output buffer.
The debugging functions
- mbedtls_debug_print_ret,
- mbedtls_debug_print_buf,
- mbedtls_debug_print_mpi, and
- mbedtls_debug_print_crt
return immediately if the SSL configuration bound to the
passed SSL context is NULL, has no debugging functions
configured, or if the debug threshold is below the debugging
level.
However, they do not check whether the provided SSL context
is not NULL before accessing the SSL configuration bound to it,
therefore leading to a segmentation fault if it is.
In contrast, the debugging function
- mbedtls_debug_print_msg
does check for ssl != NULL before accessing ssl->conf.
This commit unifies the checks by always returning immediately
if ssl == NULL.
`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.
In `mbedtls_ccm_self_test()`, enforce input and output
buffers sent to the ccm API to be contigous and aligned,
by copying the test vectors to buffers on the stack.
