This commit finally enables datagram packing by modifying the
record preparation function ssl_write_record() to not always
calling mbedtls_ssl_flush_output().
The packing of multiple records within a single datagram works
by increasing the pointer `out_hdr` (pointing to the beginning
of the next outgoing record) within the datagram buffer, as
long as space is available and no flush was mandatory.
This commit does not yet change the code's behavior of always
flushing after preparing a record, but it introduces the logic
of increasing `out_hdr` after preparing the record, and resetting
it after the flush has been completed.
Previously, the record sequence number was incremented at the
end of each successful call to mbedtls_ssl_flush_output(),
which works as long as there is precisely one such call for
each outgoing record.
When packing multiple records into a single datagram, this
property is no longer true, and instead the increment of the
record sequence number must happen after the record has been
prepared, and not after it has been dispatched.
This commit moves the code for incrementing the record sequence
number from mbedtls_ssl_flush_output() to ssl_write_record().
This commit is another step towards supporting the packing of
multiple records within a single datagram.
Previously, the incremental outgoing record sequence number was
statically stored within the record buffer, at its final place
within the record header. This slightly increased efficiency
as it was not necessary to copy the sequence number when writing
outgoing records.
When allowing multiple records within a single datagram, it is
necessary to allow the position of the current record within the
datagram buffer to be flexible; in particular, there is no static
address for the record sequence number field within the record header.
This commit introduces an additional field `cur_out_ctr` within
the main SSL context structure `mbedtls_ssl_context` to keep track
of the outgoing record sequence number independent of the buffer used
for the current record / datagram. Whenever a new record is written,
this sequence number is copied to the the address `out_ctr` of the
sequence number header field within the current outgoing record.
The SSL/TLS module maintains a number of internally used pointers
`out_hdr`, `out_len`, `out_iv`, ..., indicating where to write the
various parts of the record header.
These pointers have to be kept in sync and sometimes need update:
Most notably, the `out_msg` pointer should always point to the
beginning of the record payload, and its offset from the pointer
`out_iv` pointing to the end of the record header is determined
by the length of the explicit IV used in the current record
protection mechanism.
This commit introduces functions deducing these pointers from
the pointers `out_hdr` / `in_hdr` to the beginning of the header
of the current outgoing / incoming record.
The flexibility gained by these functions will subsequently
be used to allow shifting of `out_hdr` for the purpose of
packing multiple records into a single datagram.
Adds a requirement for GNUTLS_NEXT (3.5.3 or above, in practice we should
install 3.6.3) on the CI.
See internal ref IOTSSL-2401 for analysis of the bugs and their impact on the
tests.
For now, just check that it causes us to fragment. More tests are coming in
follow-up commits to ensure we respect the exact value set, including when
renegotiating.
Note: no interop tests in ssl-opt.sh for now, as some of them make us run into
bugs in (the CI's default versions of) OpenSSL and GnuTLS, so interop tests
will be added later once the situation is clarified. <- TODO
This will allow fragmentation to always happen in the same place, always from
a buffer distinct from ssl->out_msg, and with the same way of resuming after
returning WANT_WRITE
- take advantage of the fact that we're only called for first send
- put all sanity checks at the top
- rename and constify shortcut variables
- improve comments
The standard HKDF security guarantees only hold if `mbedtls_hkdf()` is
used or if `mbedtls_hkdf_extract()` and `mbedtls_hkdf_expand()` are
called in succession carefully and an equivalent way.
Making `mbedtls_hkdf_extract()` and `mbedtls_hkdf_expand()` static would
prevent any misuse, but doing so would require the TLS 1.3 stack to
break abstraction and bypass the module API.
To reduce the risk of misuse we add warnings to the function
descriptions.
sprintf( (char *) buf, "%s\r\n", base );
Above code generates Wformat-overflow warning since both buf and base
are of same size. buf should be sizeof( base ) + characters added in
the format. In this case format 2 bytes for "\r\n".
