This commit rewrites mbedtls_x509write_crt_pem() to not use
a statically size stack buffer to temporarily store the DER
encoded form of the certificate to be written.
This is not necessary because the DER-to-PEM conversion
accepts overlapping input and output buffers.
The CRT writing routine mbedtls_x509write_crt_der() prepares the TBS
(to-be-signed) part of the CRT in a temporary stack-allocated buffer,
copying it to the actual output buffer at the end of the routine.
This comes at the cost of a very large stack buffer. Moreover, its size
must be hardcoded to an upper bound for the lengths of all CRTs to be
written through the routine. So far, this upper bound was set to 2Kb, which
isn't sufficient some larger certificates, as was reported e.g. in #2631.
This commit fixes this by changing mbedtls_x509write_crt_der() to write
the certificate in-place in the output buffer, thereby avoiding the use
of a statically sized stack buffer for the TBS.
Fixes#2631.
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.
This commit removes all the static occurrencies of the function
mbedtls_zeroize() in each of the individual .c modules. Instead the
function has been moved to utils.h that is included in each of the
modules.
The _ext suffix suggests "new arguments", but the new functions have
the same arguments. Use _ret instead, to convey that the difference is
that the new functions return a value.
Conflict resolution:
* ChangeLog: put the new entries in their rightful place.
* library/x509write_crt.c: the change in development was whitespace
only, so use the one from the iotssl-1251 feature branch.
This commit removes extension-writing code for X.509 non-v3 certificates from
mbedtls_x509write_crt_der. Previously, even if no extensions were present an
empty sequence would have been added.
As noted in #557, several functions use 'index' resp. 'time'
as parameter names in their declaration and/or definition, causing name
conflicts with the functions in the C standard library of the same
name some compilers warn about.
This commit renames the arguments accordingly.
