This is enabled by default as we generally enable things by default unless
there's a reason not to (experimental, deprecated, security risk).
We need a compile-time option because, even though the functions themselves
can be easily garbage-collected by the linker, implementing them will require
saving 64 bytes of Client/ServerHello.random values after the handshake, that
would otherwise not be needed, and people who don't need this feature
shouldn't have to pay the price of increased RAM usage.
This commit handles occurrences of case 2 and 3 in the following list:
1. Some DTLS-specific code with no TLS-specific code (most frequent)
2. Some specific code for each protocol
3. Some TLS-specific code with no DTLS-specific code (least frequent)
Case 3 previously had a weird structure in that the TLS-specific code was
always present, but the if structure was conditional on DTLS being enabled.
This is changed by this commit to a more logical structure where both the code
and the test are conditional on TLS being enabled.
Case 2 doesn't require any change in the code structure in general. However,
there is one occurrence where the if/else structure is simplified to assigning
the result of a boolean operation, and one occurrence where I also noticed a
useless use of `ssl_ep_len()` in a TLS-specific branch, that I turned to the
constant 0 as it makes more sense.
Case 1 will be handled in the next commit, as it can easily be handled in an
automated way - only cases 2 and 3 (sometimes) required manual intervention.
The list of occurrences for cases 2 and 3 was established manually by looking
for occurrences of '= MBEDTLS_SSL_TRANSPORT_' in the code and manually
checking if there was a TLS-specific branch.

It can be seen that a DTLS-only build is now starting to be a bit smaller than
a dual-mode build, which is the purpose of the new build option.
For now the option has no effect.
Adapted existing example config files. The fact that I needed to do this
highlights that this is a slightly incompatible change: existing users need to
update their existing custom configs (if standalone as opposed to based on the
default config) in order to still get the same behaviour.
The alternative would be to have a negative config option (eg NO_TLS or
DTLS_ONLY) but this doesn't fit as nicely with the existing options, so
hopefully the minor incompatibility is acceptable.
I don't think it's worth adding a new component to all.sh:
- builds with both DTLS and TLS are done in the default (and full) config
- TLS-only builds are done with eg config-suite-b.h in test-ref-configs
- a DTLS-only build is done with config-thread.h in test-ref-configs
- builds with none of them (and SSL_TLS_C enabled) are forbidden
Context: During a handshake, the SSL/TLS handshake logic constructs
an instance of ::mbedtls_ssl_session representing the SSL session
being established. This structure contains information such as the
session's master secret, the peer certificate, or the session ticket
issues by the server (if applicable).
During a renegotiation, the new session is constructed aside the existing
one and destroys and replaces the latter only when the renegotiation is
complete. While conceptually clear, this means that during the renegotiation,
large pieces of information such as the peer's CRT or the session ticket
exist twice in memory, even though the original versions are removed
eventually.
This commit removes the simultaneous presence of two peer CRT chains
in memory during renegotiation, in the following way:
- Unlike in the case of SessionTickets handled in the previous commit,
we cannot simply free the peer's CRT chain from the previous handshake
before parsing the new one, as we need to verify that the peer's end-CRT
hasn't changed to mitigate the 'Triple Handshake Attack'.
- Instead, we perform a binary comparison of the original peer end-CRT
with the one presented during renegotiation, and if it succeeds, we
avoid re-parsing CRT by moving the corresponding CRT pointer from the
old to the new session structure.
- The remaining CRTs in the peer's chain are not affected by the triple
handshake attack protection, and for them we may employ the canonical
approach of freeing them before parsing the remainder of the new chain.
Note that this commit intends to not change any observable behavior
of the stack. In particular:
- The peer's CRT chain is still verified during renegotiation.
- The tail of the peer's CRT chain may change during renegotiation.

large pieces of information such as the peer's CRT or the session ticket

This commit starts removing this memory inefficiency by freeing the old
session's SessionTicket before the one for the new session is allocated.
Context:
The existing API `mbedtls_x509_parse_crt_der()` for parsing DER
encoded X.509 CRTs unconditionally makes creates a copy of the
input buffer in RAM. While this comes at the benefit of easy use,
-- specifically: allowing the user to free or re-use the input
buffer right after the call -- it creates a significant memory
overhead, as the CRT is duplicated in memory (at least temporarily).
This might not be tolerable a resource constrained device.
As a remedy, this commit adds a new X.509 API call
`mbedtls_x509_parse_crt_der_nocopy()`
which has the same signature as `mbedtls_x509_parse_crt_der()`
and almost the same semantics, with one difference: The input
buffer must persist and be unmodified for the lifetime of the
established instance of `mbedtls_x509_crt`, that is, until
`mbedtls_x509_crt_free()` is called.
This commit introduces a new SSL error code
`MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_VERSION_MISMATCH`
which can be used to indicate operation failure due to a
mismatch of version or configuration.
It is put to use in the implementation of `mbedtls_ssl_session_load()`
to signal the attempt to de-serialize a session which has been serialized
in a build of Mbed TLS using a different version or configuration.
This commit makes use of the added space in the session header to
encode the state of those parts of the compile-time configuration
which influence the structure of the serialized session in the
present version of Mbed TLS. Specifically, these are
- the options which influence the presence/omission of fields
from mbedtls_ssl_session (which is currently shallow-copied
into the serialized session)
- the setting of MBEDTLS_X509_CRT_PARSE_C, which determines whether
the serialized session contains a CRT-length + CRT-value pair after
the shallow-copied mbedtls_ssl_session instance.
- the setting of MBEDTLS_SSL_SESSION_TICKETS, which determines whether
the serialized session contains a session ticket.
This commit adds space for two bytes in the header of serizlied
SSL sessions which can be used to determine the structure of the
remaining serialized session in the respective version of Mbed TLS.
Specifically, if parts of the session depend on whether specific
compile-time options are set or not, the setting of these options
can be encoded in the added space.
This commit doesn't yet make use of the fields.
The format of serialized SSL sessions depends on the version and the
configuration of Mbed TLS; attempts to restore sessions established
in different versions and/or configurations lead to undefined behaviour.
This commit adds an 3-byte version header to the serialized session
generated and cleanly fails ticket parsing in case a session from a
non-matching version of Mbed TLS is presented.
We have explicit recommendations to use US spelling for technical writing, so
let's apply this to code as well for uniformity. (My fingers tend to prefer UK
spelling, so this needs to be fixed in many places.)
sed -i 's/\([Ss]eriali\)s/\1z/g' **/*.[ch] **/*.function **/*.data ChangeLog
This uncovered a bug that led to a double-free (in practice, in general could
be free() on any invalid value): initially the session structure is loaded
with `memcpy()` which copies the previous values of pointers peer_cert and
ticket to heap-allocated buffers (or any other value if the input is
attacker-controlled). Now if we exit before we got a chance to replace those
invalid values with valid ones (for example because the input buffer is too
small, or because the second malloc() failed), then the next call to
session_free() is going to call free() on invalid pointers.
This bug is fixed in this commit by always setting the pointers to NULL right
after they've been read from the serialised state, so that the invalid values
can never be used.
(An alternative would be to NULL-ify them when writing, which was rejected
mostly because we need to do it when reading anyway (as the consequences of
free(invalid) are too severe to take any risk), so doing it when writing as
well is redundant and a waste of code size.)
Also, while thinking about what happens in case of errors, it became apparent
to me that it was bad practice to leave the session structure in an
half-initialised state and rely on the caller to call session_free(), so this
commit also ensures we always clear the structure when loading failed.
This allows callers to discover what an appropriate size is. Otherwise they'd
have to either try repeatedly, or allocate an overly large buffer (or some
combination of those).
Adapt documentation an example usage in ssl_client2.
Avoid useless copy with mbedtls_ssl_get_session() before serialising.
Used in ssl_client2 for testing and demonstrating usage, but unfortunately
that means mbedtls_ssl_get_session() is no longer tested, which will be fixed
in the next commit.
On client side, this is required for the main use case where of serialising a
session for later resumption, in case tickets are used.
On server side, this doesn't change much as ticket_len will always be 0.
This unblocks testing the functions by using them in ssl_client2, which will
be done in the next commit.
This finishes making these functions public. Next step is to get them tested,
but there's currently a blocker for that, see next commit (and the commit
after it for tests).
This commit modifies mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cid() to also allow passing
NULL pointers in the arguments for the peer's CID value and length, in
case this information is needed.
For example, some users might only be interested in whether the use of
the CID was negotiated, in which case both CID value and length pointers
can be set to NULL. Other users might only be interested in confirming
that the use of CID was negotiated and the peer chose the empty CID,
in which case the CID value pointer only would be set to NULL.
It doesn't make sense to pass a NULL pointer for the CID length but a
non-NULL pointer for the CID value, as the caller has no way of telling
the length of the returned CID - and this case is therefore forbidden.
