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.
Conflict resolution:
* ChangeLog
* tests/data_files/Makefile: concurrent additions, order irrelevant
* tests/data_files/test-ca.opensslconf: concurrent additions, order irrelevant
* tests/scripts/all.sh: one comment change conflicted with a code
addition. In addition some of the additions in the
iotssl-1381-x509-verify-refactor-restricted branch need support for
keep-going mode, this will be added in a subsequent commit.
Found by running:
CC=clang cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Check"

(Also tested with same command but CC=gcc)
Another PR will address improving all.sh and/or the depend-xxx.pl scripts
themselves to catch this kind of thing.
If RSA-CRT is used for signing, and if an attacker can cause a glitch
in one of the two computations modulo P or Q, the difference between
the faulty and the correct signature (which is not secret) will be
divisible by P or Q, but not by both, allowing to recover the private
key by taking the GCD with the public RSA modulus N. This is known as
the Bellcore Glitch Attack. Verifying the RSA signature before handing
it out is a countermeasure against it.
The _ext suffix suggests "new arguments", but the new functions have
the same arguments. Use _ret instead, to convey that the difference is
that the new functions return a value.
Conflict resolution:
* ChangeLog: put the new entries in their rightful place.
* library/x509write_crt.c: the change in development was whitespace
only, so use the one from the iotssl-1251 feature branch.
This commit adds some explicit downcasts from `size_t` to `uint8_t` in
the RSASSA signature encoding function `rsa_rsassa_pkcs1_v15_encode`.
The truncation is safe as it has been checked beforehand that the
respective values are in the range of a `uint8_t`.
1) `mbedtls_rsa_import_raw` used an uninitialized return
value when it was called without any input parameters.
While not sensible, this is allowed and should be a
succeeding no-op.
2) The MPI test for prime generation missed a return value
check for a call to `mbedtls_mpi_shift_r`. This is neither
critical nor new but should be fixed.
3) Both the RSA keygeneration example program and the
RSA test suites contained code initializing an RSA context
after a potentially failing call to CTR DRBG initialization,
leaving the corresponding RSA context free call in the
cleanup section of the respective function orphaned.
While this defect existed before, Coverity picked up on
it again because of newly introduced MPI's that were
also wrongly initialized only after the call to CTR DRBG
init. The commit fixes both the old and the new issue
by moving the initializtion of both the RSA context and
all MPI's prior to the first potentially failing call.
The function `mbedtls_rsa_complete` is supposed to guarantee that
RSA operations will complete without failure. In contrast, it does
not ensure consistency of parameters, which is the task of the
checking functions `rsa_check_pubkey` and `rsa_check_privkey`.
Previously, the maximum allowed size of the RSA modulus was checked
in `mbedtls_rsa_check_pubkey`. However, exceeding this size would lead
to failure of some RSA operations, hence this check belongs to
`mbedtls_rsa_complete` rather than `mbedtls_rsa_check_pubkey`.
This commit moves it accordingly.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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`.
