Add a new function mbedtls_asn1_write_named_bitstring() that removes
trailing 0s at the end of DER encoded bitstrings. The function is
implemented according to Hanno Becker's suggestions.
This commit also changes the functions x509write_crt_set_ns_cert_type
and crt_set_key_usage to call the new function as the use named
bitstrings instead of the regular bitstrings.
Line issue trackers are conceptually a subclass of file issue
trackers: they're file issue trackers where issues arise from checking
each line independently. So make it an actual subclass.
Pylint pointed out the design smell: there was an abstract method that
wasn't always overridden in concrete child classes.
Make check-python-files.sh run pylint on all *.py files (in
directories where they are known to be present), rather than list
files explicitly.
Fix a bug whereby the return status of check-python-files.sh was only
based on the last file passing, i.e. errors in other files were
effectively ignored.
Make check-python-files.sh run pylint unconditionally. Since pylint3
is not critical, make all.sh to skip running check-python-files.sh if
pylint3 is not available.
The pylint configuration in .pylint was a modified version of the
output of `pylint --generate-rcfile` from an unknown version of
pylint. Replace it with a file that only contains settings that are
modified from the default, with an explanation of why each setting is
modified.
The new .pylintrc was written from scratch, based on the output of
pylint on the current version of the files and on a judgement of what
to silence generically, what to silence on a case-by-case basis and
what to fix.
The ecp_get_type function comes handy in higher level modules and tests
as well. It is not inline anymore, to enable alternative implementations
to implement it for themselves.
mbedtls_ecp_read_key() module returned without an error even when
importing keys corresponding to the requested group was not
implemented.
We change this and return an error when the requested group is not
supported and make the remaining import/export functions more robust.
So far, `ssl_client2` printed the CRT info for the peer's CRT
by requesting the latter through `mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()`
at the end of the handshake, and printing it via
`mbedtls_x509_crt_info()`. When `MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE`
is disabled, this does no longer work because the peer's CRT
isn't stored beyond the handshake.
This makes some tests in `ssl-opt.sh` fail which rely on the CRT
info output for the peer certificate.
This commit modifies `ssl_client2` to extract the peer CRT info
from the verification callback, which is always called at a time
when the peer's CRT is available. This way, the peer's CRT info
is still printed if `MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE` is disabled.
`MBEDTLS_SSL__ECP_RESTARTABLE` is only defined if
`MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECDHE_ECDSA_ENABLED` is set, which
requires `MBEDTLS_X509_PARSE_C` to be set (this is checked
in `check_config.`). The additional `MBEDTLS_X509_PARSE_C`
guard around the `ecrs_peer_cert` field is therefore not
necessary; moreover, it's misleading, because it hasn't
been used consistently throughout the code.
If we don't need to store the peer's CRT chain permanently, we may
free it immediately after verifying it. Moreover, since we parse the
CRT chain in-place from the input buffer in this case, pointers from
the CRT structure remain valid after freeing the structure, and we
use that to extract the digest and pubkey from the CRT after freeing
the structure.
