The SSL context structure mbedtls_ssl_context contains several pointers
ssl->in_hdr, ssl->in_len, ssl->in_iv, ssl->in_msg pointing to various
parts of the record header in an incoming record, and they are setup
in the static function ssl_update_in_pointers() based on the _expected_
transform for the next incoming record.
In particular, the pointer ssl->in_msg is set to where the record plaintext
should reside after record decryption, and an assertion double-checks this
after each call to ssl_decrypt_buf().
This commit removes the dependency of ssl_update_in_pointers() on the
expected incoming transform by setting ssl->in_msg to ssl->in_iv --
the beginning of the record content (potentially including the IV) --
and adjusting ssl->in_msg after calling ssl_decrypt_buf() on a protected
record.
Care has to be taken to not load ssl->in_msg before calling
mbedtls_ssl_read_record(), then, which was previously the
case in ssl_parse_server_hello(); the commit fixes that.
If a record exhibits an invalid feature only after successful
authenticated decryption, this is a protocol violation by the
peer and should hence lead to connection failure. The previous
code, however, would silently ignore such records. This commit
fixes this.
So far, the only case to which this applies is the non-acceptance
of empty non-AD records in TLS 1.2. With the present commit, such
records lead to connection failure, while previously, they were
silently ignored.
With the introduction of the Connection ID extension (or TLS 1.3),
this will also apply to records whose real content type -- which
is only revealed during authenticated decryption -- is invalid.
In contrast to other aspects of the Connection ID extension,
the CID-based additional data for MAC computations differs from
the non-CID case even if the CID length is 0, because it
includes the CID length.
Quoting the CID draft 04:
- Block Ciphers:
MAC(MAC_write_key, seq_num +
tls12_cid + // New input
DTLSPlaintext.version +
cid + // New input
cid_length + // New input
length_of_DTLSInnerPlaintext + // New input
DTLSInnerPlaintext.content + // New input
DTLSInnerPlaintext.real_type + // New input
DTLSInnerPlaintext.zeros // New input
)
And similar for AEAD and Encrypt-then-MAC.
This commit temporarily comments the copying of the negotiated CIDs
into the established ::mbedtls_ssl_transform in mbedtls_ssl_derive_keys()
until the CID feature has been fully implemented.
While mbedtls_ssl_decrypt_buf() and mbedtls_ssl_encrypt_buf() do
support CID-based record protection by now and can be unit tested,
the following two changes in the rest of the stack are still missing
before CID-based record protection can be integrated:
- Parsing of CIDs in incoming records.
- Allowing the new CID record content type for incoming records.
- Dealing with a change of record content type during record
decryption.
Further, since mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cid() judges the use of CIDs by
the CID fields in the currently transforms, this change also requires
temporarily disabling some grepping for ssl_client2 / ssl_server2
debug output in ssl-opt.sh.
Part of the record encryption/decryption tests is to gradually
increase the space available at the front and/or at the back of
a record and observe when encryption starts to succeed. If exactly
one of the two parameters is varied at a time, the expectation is
that encryption will continue to succeed once it has started
succeeding (that's not true if both pre- and post-space are varied
at the same time).
Moreover, previously the test would take turns when choosing which
transform should be used for encryption, and which for decryption.
With the introduction of the CID feaature, this switching of transforms
doesn't align with the expectation of eventual success of the encryption,
since the overhead of encryption might be different for the parties,
because both parties may use different CIDs for their outgoing records.
This commit modifies the tests to not take turns between transforms,
but to always use the same transforms for encryption and decryption
during a single round of the test.
This commit modifies ssl_decrypt_buf() and ssl_encrypt_buf()
to include the CID into authentication data during record
protection.
It does not yet implement the new DTLSInnerPlaintext format
from https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-dtls-connection-id-04
This commit adds a static array `cid` to the internal structure
`mbedtls_record` representing encrypted and decrypted TLS records.
The expected evolution of state of this field is as follows:
- When handling an incoming record, the caller of `mbedtls_decrypt_buf()`
has to make sure the CID array field in `mbedtls_record` has been
properly set. Concretely, it will be copied from the CID from the record
header during record parsing.
- During decryption in `mbedtls_decrypt_buf()`, the transforms
incoming CID is compared to the CID in the `mbedtls_record`
structure representing the record to be decrypted.
- For an outgoing TLS record, the caller of `mbedtls_encrypt_buf()`
clears the CID in the `mbedtls_record` structure.
- During encryption in `mbedtls_encrypt_buf()`, the CID field in
`mbedtls_record` will be copied from the out-CID in the transform.
The X.509 parsing test suite test_suite_x509parse contains a test
exercising X.509 verification for a valid MD4/MD5 certificate in a
profile which doesn't allow MD4/MD5. This commit adds an analogous
test for MD2.
These will be copied from the CID fields in mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params
(outgoing CID) and mbedtls_ssl_context (incoming CID) when the transformation
is set up at the end of the handshake.
