See the comments in the code for how an attack would go, and the ChangeLog
entry for an impact assessment. (For ECDSA, leaking a few bits of the scalar
over several signatures translates to full private key recovery using a
lattice attack.)

The current logging was sub-standard, in particular there was no trace
whatsoever of the HelloVerifyRequest being sent. Now it's being logged with
the usual levels: 4 for full content, 2 return of f_send, 1 decision about
sending it (or taking other branches in the same function) because that's the
same level as state changes in the handshake, and also same as the "possible
client reconnect" message" to which it's the logical continuation (what are we
doing about it?).

In x509.c, the self-test code is dependent on MBEDTLS_CERTS_C and
MBEDTLS_SHA256_C being enabled. At some point in the recent past that dependency
was on MBEDTLS_SHA1_C but changed to SHA256, but the comment wasn't updated.
This commit updates the comment.

Some code paths want to access members of the mbedtls_rsa_context structure.
We can only do that when using our own implementation, as otherwise we don't
know anything about that structure.
When parsing a PKCS#1 RSAPrivateKey structure, all parameters are always
present. After importing them, we need to call rsa_complete() for the sake of
alternative implementations. That function interprets zero as a signal for
"this parameter was not provided". As that's never the case, we mustn't pass
any zero value to that function, so we need to explicitly check for it.
This reverts commit 7550e857bf, reversing
changes made to d0c2575324.
stat() will never return S_IFLNK as the file type, as stat()
explicitly follows symlinks.
Fixes#3005.
If Y was constructed through functions in this module, then Y->n == 0
iff Y->p == NULL. However we do not prevent filling mpi structures
manually, and zero may be represented with n=0 and p a valid pointer.
Most of the code can cope with such a representation, but for the
source of mbedtls_mpi_copy, this would cause an integer underflow.
Changing the test for zero from Y->p==NULL to Y->n==0 causes this case
to work at no extra cost.
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 functions mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random() and
mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random_with_add() could return 0 if an AES function
failed. This could only happen with alternative AES
implementations (the built-in implementation of the AES functions
involved never fail), typically due to a failure in a hardware
accelerator.
Bug reported and fix proposed by Johan Uppman Bruce and Christoffer
Lauri, Sectra.
In ssl_parse_hello_verify_request, we read 3 bytes (version and cookie
length) without checking that there are that many bytes left in
ssl->in_msg. This could potentially read from memory outside of the
ssl->receive buffer (which would be a remotely exploitable
crash).
In ssl_parse_hello_verify_request, we print cookie_len bytes without
checking that there are that many bytes left in ssl->in_msg. This
could potentially log data outside the received message (not a big
deal) and could potentially read from memory outside of the receive
buffer (which would be a remotely exploitable crash).

This issue has been reported by Tuba Yavuz, Farhaan Fowze, Ken (Yihang) Bai,
Grant Hernandez, and Kevin Butler (University of Florida) and
Dave Tian (Purdue University).
In AES encrypt and decrypt some variables were left on the stack. The value
of these variables can be used to recover the last round key. To follow best
practice and to limit the impact of buffer overread vulnerabilities (like
Heartbleed) we need to zeroize them before exiting the function.
In the case of *ret we might need to preserve a 0 value throughout the
loop and therefore we need an extra condition to protect it from being
overwritten.
The value of done is always 1 after *ret has been set and does not need
to be protected from overwriting. Therefore in this case the extra
condition can be removed.
The code relied on the assumptions that CHAR_BIT is 8 and that unsigned
does not have padding bits.
In the Bignum module we already assume that the sign of an MPI is either
-1 or 1. Using this, we eliminate the above mentioned dependency.
The signature of mbedtls_mpi_cmp_mpi_ct() meant to support using it in
place of mbedtls_mpi_cmp_mpi(). This meant full comparison functionality
and a signed result.
To make the function more universal and friendly to constant time
coding, we change the result type to unsigned. Theoretically, we could
encode the comparison result in an unsigned value, but it would be less
intuitive.
Therefore we won't be able to represent the result as unsigned anymore
and the functionality will be constrained to checking if the first
operand is less than the second. This is sufficient to support the
current use case and to check any relationship between MPIs.
The only drawback is that we need to call the function twice when
checking for equality, but this can be optimised later if an when it is
needed.
Multiplication is known to have measurable timing variations based on
the operands. For example it typically is much faster if one of the
operands is zero. Remove them from constant time code.
The blinding applied to the scalar before modular inversion is
inadequate. Bignum is not constant time/constant trace, side channel
attacks can retrieve the blinded value, factor it (it is smaller than
RSA keys and not guaranteed to have only large prime factors). Then the
key can be recovered by brute force.
Reducing the blinded value makes factoring useless because the adversary
can only recover pk*t+z*N instead of pk*t.
