The new compile-time option MBEDTLS_X509_REMOVE_INFO removes various
X.509 debugging strings and functionality, including
```
mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_info()
```
which ssl_client2.c and ssl_server2.c use to print human readable
descriptions of X.509 verification failure conditions. Those
conditions are also grepped for in numerous ssl-opt.sh tests.
Instead of disabling those tests if MBEDTLS_X509_REMOVE_INFO is set,
this commit essentially moves mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_info() to
ssl_client2.c and ssl_server2.c. However, instead of just copy-pasting
the code from x509_crt.c, the following approach is used:
A macro MBEDTLS_X509_CRT_ERROR_INFO_LIST is introduced which for each
verification failure condition invokes a user-defined macro X509_CRT_ERROR_INFO
with (a) the numerical error code, (b) the string presentation of the
corresponding error macro, (c) the info string for the error condition.
This macro can thus be used to generate code which somehow iterates over
the verifiation failure conditions, but the list of error conditions and
information strings is nowhere duplicated.
This is then used to re-implement mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_info() in
x509_crt.c and to provide a functionally equivalent (yet slightly different)
version in ssl_client2.c and ssl_server2.c in case MBEDTLS_X509_REMOVE_INFO
is set.
This way, little changes to ssl-opt.sh will be necessary in case
MBEDTLS_X509_REMOVE_INFO is set because the info strings for the
verification failure conditions will be printed regardless of whether
MBEDTLS_X509_REMOVE_INFO is set or not.

RFC5280 does not state that the `revocationDate` should be checked.
In addition, when no time source is available (i.e., when MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE is not defined), `mbedtls_x509_time_is_past` always returns 0. This results in the CRL not being checked at all.

When parsing a certificate with the basic constraints extension
the max_pathlen that was read from it was incremented regardless
of its value. However, if the max_pathlen is equal to INT_MAX (which
is highly unlikely), an undefined behaviour would occur.
This commit adds a check to ensure that such value is not accepted
as valid. Relevant tests for INT_MAX and INT_MAX-1 are also introduced.
Certificates added in this commit were generated using the
test_suite_x509write, function test_x509_crt_check. Input data taken
from the "Certificate write check Server1 SHA1" test case, so the generated
files are like the "server1.crt", but with the "is_ca" field set to 1 and
max_pathlen as described by the file name.

stat() will never return S_IFLNK as the file type, as stat() explicitly
follows symlinks.
Fixes#3005.
When mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path() checks each object in the supplied path, it only processes regular files. This change makes it also accept a symlink to a file. Fixes#3005.
This was observed to be a problem on Fedora/CentOS/RHEL systems, where the ca-bundle in the default location is actually a symlink.
The library style is to start with the includes corresponding to the
current module and then the rest in alphabetical order. Some modules
have several header files (eg. ssl_internal.h).
The recently added error.h includes did not respect this convention and
this commit restores it. In some cases this is not possible just by
moving the error.h declarations. This commit fixes the pre-existing
order in these instances too.
This patch fixes an issue we encountered with more stringent compiler
warnings. The signature_is_good variable has a possibility of being

Some functions within the X.509 module return an ASN.1 low level
error code where instead this error code should be wrapped by a
high-level X.509 error code as in the bulk of the module.
Specifically, the following functions are affected:
- mbedtls_x509_get_ext()
- x509_get_version()
- x509_get_uid()
This commit modifies these functions to always return an
X.509 high level error code.
Care has to be taken when adapting `mbetls_x509_get_ext()`:
Currently, the callers `mbedtls_x509_crt_ext()` treat the
return code `MBEDTLS_ERR_ASN1_UNEXPECTED_TAG` specially to
gracefully detect and continue if the extension structure is not
present. Wrapping the ASN.1 error with
`MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_INVALID_EXTENSIONS` and adapting the check
accordingly would mean that an unexpected tag somewhere
down the extension parsing would be ignored by the caller.
The way out of this is the following: Luckily, the extension
structure is always the last field in the surrounding structure,
so if there is some data remaining, it must be an Extension
structure, so we don't need to deal with a tag mismatch gracefully
in the first place.
We may therefore wrap the return code from the initial call to
`mbedtls_asn1_get_tag()` in `mbedtls_x509_get_ext()` by
`MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_INVALID_EXTENSIONS` and simply remove
the special treatment of `MBEDTLS_ERR_ASN1_UNEXPECTED_TAG`
in the callers `x509_crl_get_ext()` and `x509_crt_get_ext()`.
This renders `mbedtls_x509_get_ext()` unsuitable if it ever
happened that an Extension structure is optional and does not
occur at the end of its surrounding structure, but for CRTs
and CRLs, it's fine.
The following tests need to be adapted:
- "TBSCertificate v3, issuerID wrong tag"
The issuerID is optional, so if we look for its presence
but find a different tag, we silently continue and try
parsing the subjectID, and then the extensions. The tag '00'
used in this test doesn't match either of these, and the
previous code would hence return LENGTH_MISMATCH after
unsucessfully trying issuerID, subjectID and Extensions.
With the new code, any data remaining after issuerID and
subjectID _must_ be Extension data, so we fail with
UNEXPECTED_TAG when trying to parse the Extension data.
- "TBSCertificate v3, UIDs, invalid length"
The test hardcodes the expectation of
MBEDTLS_ERR_ASN1_INVALID_LENGTH, which needs to be
wrapped in MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_INVALID_FORMAT now.
Fixes#2431.
When parsing a substructure of an ASN.1 structure, no field within
the substructure must exceed the bounds of the substructure.
Concretely, the `end` pointer passed to the ASN.1 parsing routines
must be updated to point to the end of the substructure while parsing
the latter.
This was previously not the case for the routines
- x509_get_attr_type_and_value(),
- mbedtls_x509_get_crt_ext(),
- mbedtls_x509_get_crl_ext().
These functions kept using the end of the parent structure as the
`end` pointer and would hence allow substructure fields to cross
the substructure boundary. This could lead to successful parsing
of ill-formed X.509 CRTs.
This commit fixes this.
Care has to be taken when adapting `mbedtls_x509_get_crt_ext()`
and `mbedtls_x509_get_crl_ext()`, as the underlying function
`mbedtls_x509_get_ext()` returns `0` if no extensions are present
but doesn't set the variable which holds the bounds of the Extensions
structure in case the latter is present. This commit addresses
this by returning early from `mbedtls_x509_get_crt_ext()` and
`mbedtls_x509_get_crl_ext()` if parsing has reached the end of
the input buffer.
The following X.509 parsing tests need to be adapted:
- "TBSCertificate, issuer two inner set datas"
This test exercises the X.509 CRT parser with a Subject name
which has two empty `AttributeTypeAndValue` structures.
This is supposed to fail with `MBEDTLS_ERR_ASN1_OUT_OF_DATA`
because the parser should attempt to parse the first structure
and fail because of a lack of data. Previously, it failed to
obey the (0-length) bounds of the first AttributeTypeAndValue
structure and would try to interpret the beginning of the second
AttributeTypeAndValue structure as the first field of the first
AttributeTypeAndValue structure, returning an UNEXPECTED_TAG error.
- "TBSCertificate, issuer, no full following string"
This test exercises the parser's behaviour on an AttributeTypeAndValue
structure which contains more data than expected; it should therefore
fail with MBEDTLS_ERR_ASN1_LENGTH_MISMATCH. Because of the missing bounds
check, it previously failed with UNEXPECTED_TAG because it interpreted
the remaining byte in the first AttributeTypeAndValue structure as the
first byte in the second AttributeTypeAndValue structure.
- "SubjectAltName repeated"
This test should exercise two SubjectAltNames extensions in succession,
but a wrong length values makes the second SubjectAltNames extension appear
outside of the Extensions structure. With the new bounds in place, this
therefore fails with a LENGTH_MISMATCH error. This commit adapts the test
data to put the 2nd SubjectAltNames extension inside the Extensions
structure, too.
Set the next sequence of the subject_alt_name to NULL when deleting
sequence on failure in `get_subject_alt_name()`.
Found by Philippe Antoine. Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
In case the certificate policy is not of type `AnyPolicy`
set the returned error code to `MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE`
and continue parsing. If the extension is critical, return error anyway,
unless `MBEDTLS_X509_ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION` is configured.
Fail parsing on any other error.
Make `mbedtls_x509_subject_alternative_name` to be a single item
rather than a list. Adapt the subject alternative name parsing function,
to receive a signle `mbedtls_x509_buf` item from the subject_alt_names
sequence of the certificate.
The preceding calloc() already zeroizes that memory area, therfore the
memset() is not necessary. Compilers are likely to optimize this out,
but it still can be confusing to readers.
The previous behaviour of mbedtls_x509_parse_subject_alternative_name()
was to silently ignore errors coming from x509_get_other_name(). The
current commit fixes it and returns with an error.
In x509_info_subject_alt_name() we silently dropped names that we
couldn't parse because they are not supported or are malformed. (Being
malformed might mean damaged file, but can be a sign of incompatibility
between applications.)
This commit adds code notifying the user that there is something, but
we can't parse it.
Lengths are aleady checked in mbedtls_asn1_get_len() which is called in
mbedtls_asn1_get_tag(), therefore it is not necessary to check
the lengths explicitly afterwards.
Also with the previous flow data was left in the output buffer on some
errors.

So far, there were the following CRT verification functions:
- `mbedtls_x509_crt_verify()` -- no profile, no restartable ECC
- `mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_with_profile()` -- profile, no restartable ECC
- `mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_restartable()` -- profile, restartable ECC
all publicly declared and offering increasing functionality.
On the implementation-side,
- `mbedtls_x509_crt_verify()` resolves to
a call to `mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_with_profile()` setting
the profile to `NULL`, and
- `mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_with_profile()`
resolves to a call to ``mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_restartable()`
setting the ECC restart context to NULL.
This commit adds two more functions to this zoo:
- `mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_with_cb()`
- `x509_crt_verify_restartable_cb()`
Here, `mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_with_cb()` is similar to
`mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_with_profile()` but uses a CA callback
instead of a static CA list, and no restart context.
`x509_crt_verify_restartable_cb()` is similar to
`mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_restartable()` but allows to either use
a static list of trusted CAs _or_ a trusted CA callback.
On the implementation-side,
- the body of `mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_restartable()` is moved to
`x509_crt_verify_restartable_cb()`, and the new version of
`mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_restartable()` just resolves to
`x509_crt_verify_restartable_cb()` with the trusted CA callback
set to NULL.
- The new function `mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_with_cb()`
forward to `x509_crt_verify_restartable_cb()` with the restart
context set to `NULL`.
There's no change to the implementation yet, and in particular,
`mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_with_cb()` isn't yet usable.
This commit adds an ASN.1 buffer field `pk_raw` to `mbedtls_x509_crt`
which stores the bounds of the raw public key data within an X.509 CRT.
This will be useful in subsequent commits to extract the peer's public
key from its certificate chain.
This commit improves hygiene and formatting of macro definitions
throughout the library. Specifically:
- It adds brackets around parameters to avoid unintended
interpretation of arguments, e.g. due to operator precedence.
- It adds uses of the `do { ... } while( 0 )` idiom for macros that
can be used as commands.
Context:
The existing API `mbedtls_x509_parse_crt_der()` for parsing DER
encoded X.509 CRTs unconditionally makes creates a copy of the
input buffer in RAM. While this comes at the benefit of easy use,
-- specifically: allowing the user to free or re-use the input
buffer right after the call -- it creates a significant memory
overhead, as the CRT is duplicated in memory (at least temporarily).
This might not be tolerable a resource constrained device.
As a remedy, this commit adds a new X.509 API call
`mbedtls_x509_parse_crt_der_nocopy()`
which has the same signature as `mbedtls_x509_parse_crt_der()`
and almost the same semantics, with one difference: The input
buffer must persist and be unmodified for the lifetime of the
established instance of `mbedtls_x509_crt`, that is, until
`mbedtls_x509_crt_free()` is called.
Additional changes to temporarily enable running tests:
ssl_srv.c and test_suite_ecdh use mbedtls_ecp_group_load instead of
mbedtls_ecdh_setup
test_suite_ctr_drbg uses mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update instead of
mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret
Previously, when checking whether a CRT was revoked through
one of the configured CRLs, the library would only consider
those CRLs whose `issuer` field binary-matches the `subject`
field of the CA that has issued the CRT in question. If those
fields were not binary equivalent, the corresponding CRL was
discarded.
This is not in line with RFC 5280, which demands that the
comparison should be format- and case-insensitive. For example:
- If the same string is once encoded as a `PrintableString` and
another time as a `UTF8String`, they should compare equal.
- If two strings differ only in their choice of upper and lower case
letters, they should compare equal.
This commit fixes this by using the dedicated x509_name_cmp()
function to compare the CRL issuer with the CA subject.
Fixes#1784.
stdio.h was being included both conditionally if MBEDTLS_FS_IO was
defined, and also unconditionally, which made at least one of them
redundant.
This change removes the unconditional inclusion of stdio.h and makes it
conditional on MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_C.

Fix the x509_get_subject_alt_name() function to not accept invalid
tags. The problem was that the ASN.1 class for tags consists of two
bits. Simply doing bit-wise and of the CONTEXT_SPECIFIC macro with the
input tag has the potential of accepting tag values 0x10 (private)
which would indicate that the certificate has an incorrect format.
I don't think this can cause a crash as the member accessed is in the
beginning of the context, so wouldn't be outside of valid memory if the actual
context was RSA.
Also, the mismatch will be caught later when checking signature, so the cert
chain will be rejected anyway.
Child was almost redundant as it's already saved in ver_chain, except it was
multiplexed to also indicate whether an operation is in progress. This commit
removes it and introduces an explicit state variable instead.
This state can be useful later if we start returning IN_PROGRESS at other
points than find_parent() (for example when checking CRL).
Note that the state goes none -> find_parent and stays there until the context
is free(), as it's only on the first call that nothing was in progress.
The fact that you needed to pass a pointer to mbedtls_ecdsa_restart_ctx (or
that you needed to know the key type of the PK context) was a breach of
abstraction.
Change the API (and callers) now, and the implementation will be changed in
the next commit.
For selection of test cases, see comments added in the commit.
It makes the most sense to test with chains using ECC only, so for the chain
of length 2 we use server10 -> int-ca3 -> int-ca2 and trust int-ca2 directly.
Note: server10.crt was created by copying server10_int3_int-ca2.crt and
manually truncating it to remove the intermediates. That base can now be used
to create derived certs (without or with a chain) in a programmatic way.
This is the first step towards making verify_chain() iterative. While from a
readability point of view the current recursive version is fine, one of the
goals of this refactoring is to prepare for restartable ECC integration, which
will need the explicit stack anyway.
Besides avoiding near-duplication, this avoids having three generations of
certificate (child, parent, grandparent) in one function, with all the
off-by-one opportunities that come with it.
This also allows to simplify the signature of verify_child(), which will be
done in next commit.
This is from the morally 5th (and soon obsolete) invocation of this function
in verify_top().
Doing this badtime-skipping when we search for a parent in the provided chain
is a change of behaviour, but it's backwards-compatible: it can only cause us
to accept valid chains that we used to reject before. Eg if the peer has a
chain with two version of an intermediate certificate with different validity
periods, the first non valid and the second valid - such cases are probably
rare or users would have complained already, but it doesn't hurt to handle it
properly as it allows for more uniform code.
This may look like a behaviour change because one check has been added to the
function that was previously done in only one of the 3 call sites. However it
is not, because:
- for the 2 call sites in verify(), the test always succeeds as path_cnt is 0.
- for the call site in verify_child(), the same test was done later anyway in
verify_top()
There are 3 instance that were replaced, but 2 instances of variants of this
function exist and will be handled next (the extra parameter that isn't used
so far is in preparation for that):
- one in verify_child() where path_cnt constraint is handled too
- one in verify_top() where there is extra logic to skip parents that are
expired or future, but only if there are better parents to be found
