The postprocessing code for the server-side incoming client key
exchange and the client-side outgoing client key exchange both
contain the same code-paths for building the premaster secret
depending on the chosen ciphersuite (e.g., for ECDHE-PSK,
concatenating the ECDHE secret with the chosen PSK).
This commit moves this common code to ssl_tls.c, allowing
client- and server-side to share it.
This commit implements the record checking API
mbedtls_ssl_check_record()
on top of the restructured incoming record stack.
Specifically, it makes use of the fact that the core processing routines
ssl_parse_record_header()
mbedtls_ssl_decrypt_buf()
now operate on instances of the SSL record structure mbedtls_record
instead of the previous mbedtls_ssl_context::in_xxx fields.
After the rewrite of incoming record processing to use the internal
SSL record structure mbedtls_record (which contains the data_offset
field to indicate where the IV resides), this field is no longer
necessary.
Note: This is an API break.
ssl_get_next_record() updates the legacy in_xxx fields in two places,
once before record decryption and once after. Now that record decryption
doesn't use or affect the in_xxx fields anymore, setting up the these
legacy fields can entirely be moved to the end of ssl_get_next_record(),
which is what this comit does.
This commit solely moves existing code, but doesn't yet simplify the
now partially redundant settings of the in_xxx fields. This will be
done in a separate commit.
Multiple record attributes such as content type and payload length
may change during record decryption, and the legacy in_xxx fields
in the SSL context therefore need to be updated after the record
decryption routine ssl_decrypt_buf() has been called.
After the previous commit has made ssl_prepare_record_content()
independent of the in_xxx fields, setting them can be moved
outside of ssl_prepare_record_content(), which is what this
commit does.
Previously, ssl_update_in_pointers() ensured that the in_xxx pointers
in the SSL context are set to their default state so that the record
header parsing function ssl_parse_record_header() could make use of them.
By now, the latter is independent of these pointers, so they don't need
to be setup before calling ssl_parse_record_header() anymore.
However, other parts of the messaging stack might still depend on it
(to be studied), and hence this commit does not yet reomve
ssl_update_in_pointers() entirely.
The stack maintains pointers mbedtls_ssl_context::in_xxx pointing to
various parts of the [D]TLS record header. Originally, these fields
were determined and set in ssl_parse_record_header(). By now,
ssl_parse_record_header() has been modularized to setup an instance
of the internal SSL record structure mbedtls_record, and to derive
the old in_xxx fields from that.
This commit takes a further step towards removing the in_xxx fields
by deriving them from the established record structure _outside_ of
ssl_parse_record_header() after the latter has succeeded.
One exception is the handling of possible client reconnects,
which happens in the case then ssl_parse_record_header() returns
MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_UNEXPECTED_RECORD; since ssl_check_client_reconnect()
so far uses the in_xxx fields, they need to be derived from the
record structure beforehand.
This commit makes a first step towards modularizing the incoming record
processing by having it operate on instances of the structure mbedtls_record
representing SSL records.
So far, only record encryption/decryption operate in terms of record
instances, but the rest of the parsing doesn't. In particular,
ssl_parse_record_header() operates directly on the fixed input buffer,
setting the various ssl->in_xxx pointers and fields, and only directly
before/after calling ssl_decrypt_buf() these fields a converted to/from
mbedtls_record instances.
This commit does not yet remove the ssl->in_xxx fields, but makes a step
towards extending the lifetime of mbedtls_record structure representing
incoming records, by modifying ssl_parse_record_header() to setup an
instance of mbedtls_record, and setting the ssl->in_xxx fields from that
instance. The instance so-constructed isn't used further so far, and in
particular it is not yet consolidated with the instance set up for use
in ssl_decrypt_record(). That's for a later commit.
Previously, ssl_parse_record_header() did not check whether the current
datagram is large enough to hold a record of the advertised size. This
could lead to records being silently skipped over or backed up on the
basis of an invalid record length. Concretely, the following would happen:
1) In the case of a record from an old epoch, the record would be
'skipped over' by setting next_record_offset according to the advertised
but non-validated length, and only in the subsequent mbedtls_ssl_fetch_input()
it would be noticed in an assertion failure if the record length is too
large for the current incoming datagram.
While not critical, this is fragile, and also contrary to the intend
that MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_INTERNAL_ERROR should never be trigger-able by
external input.
2) In the case of a future record being buffered, it might be that we
backup a record before we have validated its length, hence copying
parts of the input buffer that don't belong to the current record.
This is a bug, and it's by luck that it doesn't seem to have critical
consequences.
This commit fixes this by modifying ssl_parse_record_header() to check that
the current incoming datagram is large enough to hold a record of the
advertised length, returning MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_INVALID_RECORD otherwise.
We don't send alerts on other instances of ill-formed records,
so why should we do it here? If we want to keep it, the alerts
should rather be sent ssl_get_next_record().
As explained in the previous commit, if mbedtls_ssl_fetch_input()
is called multiple times, all but the first call are equivalent to
bounds checks in the incoming datagram.
In DTLS, if mbedtls_ssl_fetch_input() is called multiple times without
resetting the input buffer in between, the non-initial calls are functionally
equivalent to mere bounds checks ensuring that the incoming datagram is
large enough to hold the requested data. In the interest of code-size
and modularity (removing a call to a non-const function which is logically
const in this instance), this commit replaces such a call to
mbedtls_ssl_fetch_input() by an explicit bounds check in
ssl_parse_record_header().
Previously, `ssl_handle_possible_reconnect()` was part of
`ssl_parse_record_header()`, which was required to return a non-zero error
code to indicate a record which should not be further processed because it
was invalid, unexpected, duplicate, .... In this case, some error codes
would lead to some actions to be taken, e.g. `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_EARLY_MESSAGE`
to potential buffering of the record, but eventually, the record would be
dropped regardless of the precise value of the error code. The error code
`MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_HELLO_VERIFY_REQUIRED` returned from
`ssl_handle_possible_reconnect()` did not receive any special treatment and
lead to silent dopping of the record - in particular, it was never returned
to the user.
In the new logic this commit introduces, `ssl_handle_possible_reconnect()` is
part of `ssl_check_client_reconnect()` which is triggered _after_
`ssl_parse_record_header()` found an unexpected record, which is already in
the code-path eventually dropping the record; we want to leave this code-path
only if a valid cookie has been found and we want to reset, but do nothing
otherwise. That's why `ssl_handle_possible_reconnect()` now returns `0` unless
a valid cookie has been found or a fatal error occurred.
Availability of sufficient incoming data should be checked when
it is needed, which is in mbedtls_ssl_fetch_input(), and this
function has the necessary bounds checks in place.
mbedtls_ssl_decrypt_buf() asserts that the passed transform is not NULL,
but the function is only invoked in a single place, and this invocation
is clearly visible to be within a branch ensuring that the incoming
transform isn't NULL. Remove the assertion for the benefit of code-size.
The previous code performed architectural maximum record length checks
both before and after record decryption. Since MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN
bounds the maximum length of the record plaintext, it suffices to check
only once after (potential) decryption.
This must not be confused with the internal check that the record
length is small enough to make the record fit into the internal input
buffer; this is done in mbedtls_ssl_fetch_input().
The check is in terms of the internal input buffer length and is
hence likely to be originally intended to protect against overflow
of the input buffer when fetching data from the underlying
transport in mbedtls_ssl_fetch_input(). For locality of reasoning,
it's better to perform such a check close to where it's needed,
and in fact, mbedtls_ssl_fetch_input() _does_ contain an equivalent
bounds check, too, rendering the bounds check in question redundant.
Breaking into a series of statements makes things easier when stepping through
the code in a debugger.
Previous comments we stating the opposite or what the code tested for (what we
want vs what we're erroring out on) which was confusing.
Also expand a bit on the reasons for these restrictions.
ssl_get_next_record() may pend fatal alerts in response to receiving
invalid records. Previously, however, those were never actually sent
because there was no code-path checking for pending alerts.
This commit adds a call to ssl_send_pending_fatal_alert() after
the invocation of ssl_get_next_record() to fix this.
Modelled after the config-checking header from session s11n.
The list of relevant config flags was established by manually checking the
fields serialized in the format, and which config.h flags they depend on.
This probably deserves double-checking by reviewers.
Since the type of cid_len is unsigned but shorter than int, it gets
"promoted" to int (which is also the type of the result), unless we make the
other operand an unsigned int which then forces the expression to unsigned int
as well.
The number of meaning of the flags will be determined later, when handling the
relevant struct members. For now three bytes are reserved as an example, but
this number may change later.
This mainly follows the design document (saving all fields marked "saved" in
the main structure and the transform sub-structure) with two exceptions:
- things related to renegotiation are excluded here (there weren't quite in
the design document as the possibility of allowing renegotiation was still
on the table, which is no longer is) - also, ssl.secure_renegotiation (which
is not guarded by MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION because it's used in initial
handshakes even with renegotiation disabled) is still excluded, as we don't
need it after the handshake.
- things related to Connection ID are added, as they weren't present at the
time the design document was written.
The exact format of the header (value of the bitflag indicating compile-time
options, whether and how to merge it with the serialized session header) will
be determined later.
Enforce restrictions indicated in the documentation.
This allows to make some simplifying assumptions (no need to worry about
saving IVs for CBC in TLS < 1.1, nor about saving handshake data) and
guarantees that all values marked as "forced" in the design document have the
intended values and can be skipped when serialising.
Some of the "forced" values are not checked because their value is a
consequence of other checks (for example, session_negotiated == NULL outside
handshakes). We do however check that session and transform are not NULL (even
if that's also a consequence of the initial handshake being over) as we're
going to dereference them and static analyzers may appreciate the info.
At that point, the timer might not yet be configured.
The timer is reset at the following occasions:
- when it is initially configured through
mbedtls_ssl_set_timer_cb() or
mbedtls_ssl_set_timer_cb_cx()
- when a session is reset in mbedtls_ssl_session_reset()
- when a handshake finishes via mbedtls_ssl_handshake_wrap()
This commit introduces the option MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_HASH
which can be used to register a single supported signature hash
algorithm at compile time. It replaces the runtime configuration
API mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_hashes() which allows to register a _list_
of supported signature hash algorithms.
In contrast to other options used to hardcode configuration options,
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_HASH isn't a numeric option, but instead it's
only relevant if it's defined or not. To actually set the single
supported hash algorithm that should be supported, numeric options
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_HASH_TLS_ID
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_HASH_MD_ID
must both be defined and provide the TLS ID and the Mbed TLS internal
ID and the chosen hash algorithm, respectively.
mbedtls_ssL_set_calc_verify_md() is used to select valid hashes when
writing the server's CertificateRequest message, as well as to verify
and act on the client's choice when reading its CertificateVerify
message.
If enabled at compile-time and configured via mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_hashes()
the current code also offers SHA-1 in TLS 1.2. However, the SHA-1-based
handshake transcript in TLS 1.2 is different from the SHA-1 handshake
transcript used in TLS < 1.2, and we only maintain the latter
(through ssl_update_checksum_md5sha1()), but not the former.
Concretely, this will lead to CertificateVerify verification failure
if the client picks SHA-1 for the CertificateVerify message in a TLS 1.2
handshake.
This commit removes SHA-1 from the list of supported hashes in
the CertificateRequest message, and adapts two tests in ssl-opt.sh
which expect SHA-1 to be listed in the CertificateRequest message.
mbedtls_ssl_set_calc_verify_md() is only called from places
where it has been checked that TLS 1.2 is being used. The
corresponding compile-time and runtime guards checking the
version in mbedtls_ssl_set_calc_verify_md() are therefore
redundant and can be removed.
This commit introduces the option MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_EC
which can be used to register a single supported elliptic curve
at compile time. It replaces the runtime configuration API
mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves() which allows to register a _list_
of supported elliptic curves.
In contrast to other options used to hardcode configuration options,
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_EC isn't a numeric option, but instead it's
only relevant if it's defined or not. To actually set the single
elliptic curve that should be supported, numeric options
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_EC_TLS_ID
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_EC_GRP_ID
must both be defined and provide the TLS ID and the Mbed TLS internal
ID and the chosen curve, respectively.
For both client/server the EC curve list is assumed not to be NULL:
- On the client-side, it's assumed when writing the
supported elliptic curve extension:
c54ee936d7/library/ssl_cli.c (L316)
- On the server, it is assumed when searching for a
suitable curve for the ECDHE exchange:
c54ee936d7/library/ssl_srv.c (L3200)
It is therefore not necessary to check this in mbedtls_ssl_check_curve().
Reasons:
- If the transport type is fixed at compile-time,
mbedtls_ssl_read_version() and mbedtls_ssl_write_version()
are called with a compile-time determined `transport`
parameter, so the transport-type branch in their body
can be eliminated at compile-time.
- mbedtls_ssl_read_version() is called with addresses of
local variables, which so far need to be put on the stack
to be addressable. Inlining the call allows to read directly
into the registers holding these local variables.
This saves 60 bytes w.r.t. the measurement performed by

This commit introduces the numeric compile-time constants
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_MIN_MINOR_VER
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_MAX_MINOR_VER
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_MIN_MAJOR_VER
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_MAX_MAJOR_VER
which, when defined, overwrite the runtime configurable fields
mbedtls_ssl_config::min_major_ver etc. in the SSL configuration.
As for the preceding case of the ExtendedMasterSecret configuration,
it also introduces and puts to use getter functions for these variables
which evaluate to either a field access or the macro value, maintaining
readability of the code.
The runtime configuration API mbedtls_ssl_conf_{min|max}_version()
is kept for now but has no effect if MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_XXX are set.
This is likely to be changed in a later commit but deliberately omitted
for now, in order to be able to study code-size benefits earlier in the
process.
If MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is enabled, the type
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t
is logically a boolean (concretely realized as `unsigned char`),
containing the invalid handle and the unique valid handle, which
represents the single enabled ciphersuite.
The SSL session structure mbedtls_ssl_session contains an instance
of mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t which is guaranteed to be valid,
and which is hence redundant in any two-valued implementation of
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t.
This commit replaces read-uses of
mbedtls_ssl_session::ciphersuite_info
by a getter functions which, and defines this getter function
either by just reading the field from the session structure
(in case MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is disabled), or by
returning the single valid ciphersuite handle (in case
MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is enabled) and removing the
field from mbedtls_ssl_session in this case.
If MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is enabled, it overwrites
the runtime configuration of supported ciphersuites, which
includes both the configuration API and the fields which are
used to store the configuration. Both are therefore no longer
needed and should be removed for the benefit of code-size,
memory usage, and API clarity (no accidental hiccup of runtime
vs. compile-time configuration possible).
The configuration API mbedtls_ssl_conf_ciphersuites() has
already been removed in case MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE,
and this commit removes the field
mbedtls_ssl_config::ciphersuite_list
which it updates.
If MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is enabled, the type
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t
is logically a boolean (concretely realized as `unsigned char`),
containing the invalid handle and the unique valid handle, which
represents the single enabled ciphersuite.
The SSL handshake structure mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params contains
an instance of mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t which is guaranteed
to be valid, and which is hence redundant in any two-valued
implementation of mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t.
This commit replaces read-uses of
mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::ciphersuite_info
by a getter functions which, and defines this getter function
either by just reading the field from the handshake structure
(in case MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is disabled), or by
returning the single valid ciphersuite handle (in case
MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is enabled) and removing the
field from mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params in this case.
This commit introduces an internal zero-cost abstraction layer for
SSL ciphersuites: Instead of addressing ciphersuites via pointers
to instances of mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_t and accessing their fields
directly, this commit introduces an opaque type
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t,
and getter functions
mbedtls_ssl_suite_get_xxx()
operating on ciphersuite handles.
The role of NULL is played by a new macro constant
MBEDTLS_SSL_CIPHERSUITE_INVALID_HANDLE
which results of functions returning handles can be checked against.
(For example, when doing a lookup of a ciphersuite from a peer-provided
ciphersuite ID in the per's Hello message).
The getter functions have the validity of the handle as a precondition
and are undefined if the handle is invalid.
So far, there's only one implementation of this abstraction layer, namely
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t being mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_t const *
and
getter functions being field accesses.
In subsequent commits, however, the abstraction layer will be useful
to save code in the situation where only a single ciphersuite is enabled.
So far, the client-proposed list of elliptic curves was stored for the
duration of the entire handshake in a heap-allocated buffer referenced
from mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::curves. It is used in the following
places:
1) When the server chooses a suitable ciphersuite, it checks that
it has a certificate matching the ciphersuite; in particular, if
the ciphersuite involves ECDHE, the server needs an EC certificate
with a curve suitable for the client.
2) When performing the ECDHE key exchange, the server choose one
curve among those proposed by the client which matches the server's
own supported curve configuration.
This commit removes the hold back the entire client-side curve list
during the handshake, by performing (1) and (2) on during ClientHello
parsing, and in case of (2) only remembering the curve chosen for ECDHE
within mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params.
