When writing a private EC key, use a constant size for the private
value, as specified in RFC 5915. Previously, the value was written
as an ASN.1 INTEGER, which caused the size of the key to leak
about 1 bit of information on average, and could cause the value to be
1 byte too large for the output buffer.
Add pk_write test cases where the ASN.1 INTEGER encoding of the
private value would not have the mandatory size for the OCTET STRING
that contains the value.
ec_256_long_prv.pem is a random secp256r1 private key, selected so
that the private value is >= 2^255, i.e. the top bit of the first byte
is set (which would cause the INTEGER encoding to have an extra
leading 0 byte).
ec_521_short_prv.pem is a random secp521r1 private key, selected so
that the private value is < 2^519, i.e. the first byte is 0 and the
top bit of the second byte is 0 (which would cause the INTEGER
encoding to have one less 0 byte at the start).
When MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C was defined, the sample ssl_server2.c was
using its own memory buffer for memory allocated by the library. The memory
used wasn't obvious, so this adds a macro for the memory buffer allocated to
make the allocated memory size more obvious and hence easier to configure.
Added an additional i386 test to all.sh, to allow one test with -O0 which
compiles out inline assembly, and one to test with -01 which includes the inline
assembly.
The i386 test builds were only building the default configuration and had
no address sanitisation. This commit expands the test configuration to the full
configuration in all.sh and builds with ASan for when the test suites are
executed.
Newer features in the library have increased the overall RAM usage of the
library, when all features are enabled. ssl_server2.c, with all features enabled
was running out of memory for the ssl-opt.sh test 'Authentication: client
max_int chain, server required'.
This commit increases the memory buffer allocation for ssl_server2.c to allow
the test to work with all features enabled.
Added a section on API/ABI compatibility on the development branch to the
CONTRIBUTING.md guidelines. Also added to the testing section, refined the LTS
section and changed some formatting for consistency.
When calling all.sh from a script and using "--keep-going", errors were
sometimes missed due to all.sh always returning 0 "success" return code.
Return 1 if there is any failure encountered during a "keep-going" run.
