In case truncated HMAC must be used but the Mbed TLS peer hasn't been updated
yet, one can use the compile-time option MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC_COMPAT to
temporarily fall back to the old, non-compliant implementation of the truncated
HMAC extension.
The truncated HMAC extension as described in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6066.html#section-7 specifies that when truncated
HMAC is used, only the HMAC output should be truncated, while the HMAC key
generation stays unmodified. This commit fixes Mbed TLS's behavior of also
truncating the key, potentially leading to compatibility issues with peers
running other stacks than Mbed TLS.
Details:
The keys for the MAC are pieces of the keyblock that's generated from the
master secret in `mbedtls_ssl_derive_keys` through the PRF, their size being
specified as the size of the digest used for the MAC, regardless of whether
truncated HMAC is enabled or not.
/----- MD size ------\ /------- MD size ----\
Keyblock +----------------------+----------------------+------------------+---
now | MAC enc key | MAC dec key | Enc key | ...
(correct) +----------------------+----------------------+------------------+---
In the previous code, when truncated HMAC was enabled, the HMAC keys
were truncated to 10 bytes:
/-10 bytes-\ /-10 bytes-\
Keyblock +-------------+-------------+------------------+---
previously | MAC enc key | MAC dec key | Enc key | ...
(wrong) +-------------+-------------+------------------+---
The reason for this was that a single variable `transform->maclen` was used for
both the keysize and the size of the final MAC, and its value was reduced from
the MD size to 10 bytes in case truncated HMAC was negotiated.
This commit fixes this by introducing a temporary variable `mac_key_len` which
permanently holds the MD size irrespective of the presence of truncated HMAC,
and using this temporary to obtain the MAC key chunks from the keyblock.
Previously, MAC validation for an incoming record proceeded as follows:
1) Make a copy of the MAC contained in the record;
2) Compute the expected MAC in place, overwriting the presented one;
3) Compare both.
This resulted in a record buffer overflow if truncated MAC was used, as in this
case the record buffer only reserved 10 bytes for the MAC, but the MAC
computation routine in 2) always wrote a full digest.
For specially crafted records, this could be used to perform a controlled write of
up to 6 bytes past the boundary of the heap buffer holding the record, thereby
corrupting the heap structures and potentially leading to a crash or remote code
execution.
This commit fixes this by making the following change:
1) Compute the expected MAC in a temporary buffer that has the size of the
underlying message digest.
2) Compare to this to the MAC contained in the record, potentially
restricting to the first 10 bytes if truncated HMAC is used.
A similar fix is applied to the encryption routine `ssl_encrypt_buf`.

This commit fixes a comparison of ssl_session->encrypt_then_mac against the
ETM-unrelated constant MBEDTLS_SSL_EXTENDED_MS_DISABLED. Instead,
MBEDTLS_SSL_ETM_DISABLED should be used.
The typo is has no functional effect since both constants have the same value 0.
Remove a check introduced in the previous buffer overflow fix with keys of
size 8N+1 which the subsequent fix for buffer start calculations made
redundant.
Added a changelog entry for the buffer start calculation fix.
For a key of size 8N+1, check that the first byte after applying the
public key operation is 0 (it could have been 1 instead). The code was
incorrectly doing a no-op check instead, which led to invalid
signatures being accepted. Not a security flaw, since you would need the
private key to craft such an invalid signature, but a bug nonetheless.
The check introduced by the previous security fix was off by one. It
fixed the buffer overflow but was not compliant with the definition of
PSS which technically led to accepting some invalid signatures (but
not signatures made without the private key).
Fix buffer overflow in RSA-PSS signature verification when the hash is
too large for the key size. Found by Seth Terashima, Qualcomm.
Added a non-regression test and a positive test with the smallest
permitted key size for a SHA-512 hash.
The function mbedtls_ecp_gen_keypair_base did not wipe the stack buffer used to
hold the private exponent before returning. This commit fixes this by not using
a stack buffer in the first place but instead calling mpi_fill_random directly
to acquire the necessary random MPI.
This commit modifies mpi_read_binary to always allocate the minimum number of
limbs required to hold the entire buffer provided to the function, regardless of
its content. Previously, leading zero bytes in the input data were detected and
used to reduce memory footprint and time, but this non-constant behavior turned
out to be non-tolerable for the cryptographic applications this function is used
for.
Previously, if `MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION` was disabled, incoming handshake
messages in `mbedtls_ssl_read` (expecting application data) lead to the
connection being closed. This commit fixes this, restricting the
`MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION`-guard to the code-paths responsible for accepting
renegotiation requests and aborting renegotiation attempts after too many
unexpected records have been received.
Signature algorithm extension was skipped when renegotiation was in
progress, causing the signature algorithm not to be known when
renegotiating, and failing the handshake. Fix removes the renegotiation
step check before parsing the extension.
As the optional RSA parameters DP, DQ and QP are effectively discarded (they are only considered for their length to
ensure that the key fills the entire buffer), it is not necessary to read them into separate MPI's.
The number of loop iterations per candidate in `mbedtls_deduce_primes` was off
by one. This commit corrects this and removes a toy non-example from the RSA
test suite, as it seems difficult to have the function fail on small values of N
even if D,E are corrupted.

This commit splits off the RSA helper functions into separate headers and
compilation units to have a clearer separation of the public RSA interface,
intended to be used by end-users, and the helper functions which are publicly
provided only for the benefit of designers of alternative RSA implementations.
1) move the change into Features from Changes, in the changLog
2) Change the feature alternative configuration MBEDTLS_ECDH_ALT
definition to function alternative defintions
MBEDTLS_ECDH_COMPUTE_SHARED_ALT and MBEDTLS_ECDH_GEN_PUBLIC_ALT
1) update ChangLog to have new feature in Features instead of Changes
2) Change MBEDTLS_ECDSA_ALT to function specific alternative definitions:
MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT, MBEDTLS_ECDSA_VERIFY_ALT and MBEDTLS_ECDSA_GENKEY_ALT
It is not necessary to pass a CSPRNG to `mbedtls_rsa_deduce_moduli`, as there
exist well-working static strategies, and even if a PRNG is preferred, a
non-secure one would be sufficient.
Further, the implementation is changed to use a static strategy for the choice
of candidates which according to some benchmarks even performs better than the
previous one using random candidate choices.
Change ssl_parse_server_hello() so that the parsed first four random
bytes from the ServerHello message are printed by the TLS client as
a Unix timestamp regardless of whether MBEDTLS_DEBUG_C is defined. The
debug message will only be printed if debug_level is 3 or higher.
Unconditionally enabling the debug print enabled testing of this value.

Further, state explicitly that wrong key types need not be supported by alternative RSA implementations, and that those
may instead return the newly introduced error code MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION.
This commit returns to using constant macros instead of global variables for the DHM group constants. Further, macros
providing the binary encoding of the primes from RFC 3526 and RFC 7919 are added. The hex-string macros are deprecated.
This commit modifies the PKCS1 v1.5 signature verification function `mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pkcs1_v15_verify` to prepare the
expected PKCS1-v1.5-encoded hash using the function also used by the signing routine `mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pkcs1_v15_sign`
and comparing it to the provided byte-string afterwards. This comes at the benefits of (1) avoiding any error-prone
parsing, (2) removing the dependency of the RSA module on the ASN.1 parsing module, and (3) reducing code size.
This commit moves the code preparing PKCS1 v1.5 encoded hashes from `mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pkcs1_v15_sign` to a separate
non-public function `rsa_rsassa_pkcs1_v15_encode`. This code-path will then be re-used by the signature verification function
`mbetls_rsa_rsassa_pkcs1_v15_verify` in a later commit.
Original intention was to be allowed to perform in-place operations like changing the byte-order before importing
parameters into an HSM. Now a copy is needed in this case, but there's no more danger of a user expecting the arguments
to be left untouched.
State explicitly that `pk_parse_pkcs8_undencrypted_der` and `pk_parse_key_pkcs8_encrypted_der` are not responsible for
zeroizing and freeing the provided key buffer.
This commit changes the implementation of `mbedtls_rsa_get_len` to return
`ctx->len` instead of always re-computing the modulus' byte-size via
`mbedtls_mpi_size`.
Although the variable ret was initialised to an error, the
MBEDTLS_MPI_CHK macro was overwriting it. Therefore it ended up being
0 whenewer the bignum computation was successfull and stayed 0
independently of the actual check.
This commit renames the test-only flag MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_HAVE_STRONG to ENTROPY_HAVE_STRONG to make it more transparent
that it's an internal flag, and also to content the testscript tests/scripts/check-names.pl which previously complained
about the macro occurring in a comment in `entropy.c` without being defined in a library file.
This commit removes extension-writing code for X.509 non-v3 certificates from
mbedtls_x509write_crt_der. Previously, even if no extensions were present an
empty sequence would have been added.
The stack buffer used to hold the decrypted key in pk_parse_pkcs8_encrypted_der
was statically sized to 2048 bytes, which is not enough for DER encoded 4096bit
RSA keys.
This commit resolves the problem by performing the key-decryption in-place,
circumventing the introduction of another stack or heap copy of the key.
There are two situations where pk_parse_pkcs8_encrypted_der is invoked:
1. When processing a PEM-encoded encrypted key in mbedtls_pk_parse_key.
This does not need adaption since the PEM context used to hold the decoded
key is already constructed and owned by mbedtls_pk_parse_key.
2. When processing a DER-encoded encrypted key in mbedtls_pk_parse_key.
In this case, mbedtls_pk_parse_key calls pk_parse_pkcs8_encrypted_der with
the buffer provided by the user, which is declared const. The commit
therefore adds a small code paths making a copy of the keybuffer before
calling pk_parse_pkcs8_encrypted_der.
This commit adds the function mbedtls_rsa_validate_crt for validating a set of CRT parameters. The function
mbedtls_rsa_check_crt is simplified accordingly.
Primality testing is guarded by the configuration flag MBEDTLS_GENPRIME and used in the new RSA helper functions. This
commit adds a corresponding preprocessor directive.
Alternative RSA implementations can be provided by defining MBEDTLS_RSA_ALT in
config.h, defining an mbedtls_rsa_context struct in a new file rsa_alt.h and
re-implementing the RSA interface specified in rsa.h.
Through the previous reworkings, the adherence to the interface is the only
implementation obligation - in particular, implementors are free to use a
different layout for the RSA context structure.
