= mbed TLS 2.20.0 branch released 2020-01-15
|
||||
|
||||
Default behavior changes
|
||||
* The initial seeding of a CTR\_DRBG instance makes a second call to the
|
||||
entropy function to obtain entropy for a nonce if the entropy size is less
|
||||
than 3/2 times the key size. In case you want to disable the extra call to
|
||||
grab entropy, you can call `mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len()` to force the
|
||||
nonce length to 0.
|
||||
|
||||
Security
|
||||
* Enforce that `mbedtls_entropy_func()` gathers a total of
|
||||
`MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_BLOCK_SIZE` bytes or more from strong sources. In the
|
||||
default configuration, on a platform with a single entropy source, the
|
||||
entropy module formerly only grabbed 32 bytes, which is good enough for
|
||||
security if the source is genuinely strong, but less than the expected 64
|
||||
bytes (size of the entropy accumulator).
|
||||
|
||||
Features
|
||||
* Key derivation inputs in the PSA API can now either come from a key object
|
||||
or from a buffer regardless of the step type.
|
||||
* The CTR_DRBG module can grab a nonce from the entropy source during the
|
||||
initial seeding. The default nonce length is chosen based on the key size
|
||||
to achieve the security strength defined by NIST SP 800-90A. You can
|
||||
change it with `mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len()`.
|
||||
* Add ENUMERATED tag support to the ASN.1 module. Contributed by
|
||||
msopiha-linaro in #307.
|
||||
|
||||
API changes
|
||||
* In the PSA API, forbid zero-length keys. To pass a zero-length input to a
|
||||
key derivation function, use a buffer instead (this is now always
|
||||
possible).
|
||||
* Rename `psa_asymmetric_sign()` to `psa_sign_hash()` and
|
||||
`psa_asymmetric_verify()` to `psa_verify_hash()`.
|
||||
|
||||
Bugfix
|
||||
* Fix an incorrect size in a debugging message. Reported and fix
|
||||
submitted by irwir. Fixes #2717.
|
||||
@ -9,6 +41,34 @@ Bugfix
|
||||
Reported and fix submitted by irwir. Fixes #2800.
|
||||
* Remove a useless assignment. Reported and fix submitted by irwir.
|
||||
Fixes #2801.
|
||||
* Fix a buffer overflow in the PSA HMAC code when using a long key with an
|
||||
unsupported algorithm. Fixes #254.
|
||||
* Fix `mbedtls_asn1_get_int` to support any number of leading zeros. Credit
|
||||
to OSS-Fuzz for finding a bug in an intermediate version of the fix.
|
||||
* Fix `mbedtls_asn1_get_bitstring_null` to correctly parse bitstrings of at
|
||||
most 2 bytes.
|
||||
* `mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_entropy_len()` and
|
||||
`mbedtls_hmac_drbg_set_entropy_len()` now work if you call them before
|
||||
`mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed()` or `mbedtls_hmac_drbg_seed()`.
|
||||
* Fix some false-positive uninitialized variable warnings. Fix contributed
|
||||
by apple-ihack-geek in ARMmbed/mbedtls#2663.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes
|
||||
* Remove the technical possibility to define custom `mbedtls_md_info`
|
||||
structures, which was exposed only in an internal header.
|
||||
* `psa_close_key(0)` and `psa_destroy_key(0)` now succeed (doing nothing, as
|
||||
before).
|
||||
* Variables containing error codes are now initialized to an error code
|
||||
rather than success, so that coding mistakes or memory corruption tends to
|
||||
cause functions to return this error code rather than a success. There are
|
||||
no known instances where this changes the behavior of the library: this is
|
||||
merely a robustness improvement. #323
|
||||
* Remove a useless call to `mbedtls_ecp_group_free()`. Contributed by
|
||||
Alexander Krizhanovsky in #210.
|
||||
* Speed up PBKDF2 by caching the digest calculation. Contributed by Jack
|
||||
Lloyd and Fortanix Inc in #277.
|
||||
* Small performance improvement of `mbedtls_mpi_div_mpi()`. Contributed by
|
||||
Alexander Krizhanovsky in #308.
