According to RFC5246 the server can indicate the known Certificate
Authorities or can constrain the aurhorisation space by sending a
certificate list. This part of the message is optional and if omitted,
the client may send any certificate in the response.
The previous behaviour of mbed TLS was to always send the name of all the
CAs that are configured as root CAs. In certain cases this might cause
usability and privacy issues for example:
- If the list of the CA names is longer than the peers input buffer then
the handshake will fail
- If the configured CAs belong to third parties, this message gives away
information on the relations to these third parties
Therefore we introduce an option to suppress the CA list in the
Certificate Request message.
Providing this feature as a runtime option comes with a little cost in
code size and advantages in maintenance and flexibility.
With this commit the Elliptic Curve Point interface is rewised. Two
compile time options has been removed to simplify the interface and
the function names got a new prefix that indicates that these functions
are for internal use and not part of the public interface.
The intended use of the abstraction layer for Elliptic Curve Point
arithmetic is to enable using hardware cryptographic accelerators.
These devices are a shared resource and the driver code rarely provides
thread safety.
This commit adds mutexes to the abstraction layer to protect the device
in a multi-threaded environment.
The primary use case behind providing an abstraction layer to enable
alternative Elliptic Curve Point arithmetic implementation, is making
use of cryptographic acceleration hardware if it is present.
To provide thread safety for the hardware accelerator we need a mutex
to guard it.
The compile time macros enabling the initialisation and deinitialisation
in the alternative Elliptic Curve Point arithmetic implementation had
names that did not end with '_ALT' as required by check-names.sh.
This patch introduces some additional checks in the PK module for 64-bit
systems only. The problem is that the API functions in the PK
abstraction accept a size_t value for the hashlen, while the RSA module
accepts an unsigned int for the hashlen. Instead of silently casting
size_t to unsigned int, this change checks whether the hashlen overflows
an unsigned int and returns an error.
Fix a buffer overflow when writting a string representation of an MPI
number to a buffer in hexadecimal. The problem occurs because hex
digits are written in pairs and this is not accounted for in the
calculation of the required buffer size when the number of digits is
odd.
When using ssl_cookie with MBEDTLS_THREADING_C, fix a resource leak caused by
initiating a mutex in mbedtls_ssl_cookie_free instead of freeing it.
Raised and fix suggested by lan Gillingham in the mbed TLS forum
Tracked in #771
The function ecp_mod_koblitz computed the space for the result of a
multiplication optimally for that specific case, but unfortunately
the function mbedtls_mpi_mul_mpi performs a generic, suboptimal
calculation and needs one more limb for the result. Since the result's
buffer is on the stack, the best case scenario is that the program
stops.
This only happened on 64 bit platforms.
Fixes#569
A heap overread might happen when parsing malformed certificates.
Reported by Peng Li and Yueh-Hsun Lin.
Refactoring the parsing fixes the problem. This commit applies the
relevant part of the OpenVPN contribution applied to mbed TLS 1.3
in commit 17da9dd82931abdf054a01c466bce45e7d12b742.
Fixes a regression introduced by an earlier commit that modified
x509_crt_verify_top() to ensure that valid certificates that are after past or
future valid in the chain are processed. However the change introduced a change
in behaviour that caused the verification flags MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_EXPIRED and
MBEDTLS_BADCERT_FUTURE to always be set whenever there is a failure in the
verification regardless of the cause.
The fix maintains both behaviours:
* Ensure that valid certificates after future and past are verified
* Ensure that the correct verification flags are set.
Modifies the function mbedtls_x509_crl_parse() to ensure that a CRL in PEM
format with trailing characters after the footer does not result in the
execution of an infinite loop.
Fix potential integer overflows in the function mbedtls_base64_decode().
This overflow would mainly be exploitable in 32-bit systems and could
cause buffer bound checks to be bypassed.
Fix potential integer overflows in the following functions:
* mbedtls_md2_update() to be bypassed and cause
* mbedtls_cipher_update()
* mbedtls_ctr_drbg_reseed()
This overflows would mainly be exploitable in 32-bit systems and could
cause buffer bound checks to be bypassed.
Fix an incorrect condition in ssl_check_ctr_renegotiate() that compared
64 bits of record counter instead of 48 bits as described in RFC 6347
Section 4.3.1. This would cause the function's return value to be
occasionally incorrect and the renegotiation routines to be triggered
at unexpected times.
This PR fixes a number of unused variable/function compilation warnings
that arise when using a config.h that does not define the macro
MBEDTLS_PEM_PARSE_C.

This change fixes a regression introduced by an earlier commit that

the verification regardless of the cause.
The fix maintains both behaviours:
* Ensure that valid certificates after future and past are verified
* Ensure that the correct verification flags are set.
To do so, a temporary pointer to the first future or past valid
certificate is maintained while traversing the chain. If a truly valid
certificate is found then that one is used, otherwise if no valid
certificate is found and the end of the chain is reached, the program
reverts back to using the future or past valid certificate.
