This uncovered a bug that led to a double-free (in practice, in general could
be free() on any invalid value): initially the session structure is loaded
with `memcpy()` which copies the previous values of pointers peer_cert and
ticket to heap-allocated buffers (or any other value if the input is
attacker-controlled). Now if we exit before we got a chance to replace those
invalid values with valid ones (for example because the input buffer is too
small, or because the second malloc() failed), then the next call to
session_free() is going to call free() on invalid pointers.
This bug is fixed in this commit by always setting the pointers to NULL right
after they've been read from the serialised state, so that the invalid values
can never be used.
(An alternative would be to NULL-ify them when writing, which was rejected
mostly because we need to do it when reading anyway (as the consequences of
free(invalid) are too severe to take any risk), so doing it when writing as
well is redundant and a waste of code size.)
Also, while thinking about what happens in case of errors, it became apparent
to me that it was bad practice to leave the session structure in an
half-initialised state and rely on the caller to call session_free(), so this
commit also ensures we always clear the structure when loading failed.
This test appeared to be passing for the wrong reason, it's not actually not
appropriate for the current implementation. The serialised data contains
values of pointers to heap-allocated buffers. There is no reason these should
be identical after a load-save pair. They just happened to be identical when I
first ran the test due to the place of session_free() in the test code and the
fact that the libc's malloc() reused the same buffers. The test no longer
passes if other malloc() implementations are used (for example, when compiling
with asan which avoids re-using the buffer, probably for better error
detection).
So, disable this test for now (we can re-enable it when we changed how
sessions are serialised, which will be done in a future PR, hence the name of
the dummy macro in depends_on). In the next commit we're going to add a test
that save-load is the identity instead - which will be more work in testing as
it will require checking each field manually, but at least is reliable.
This initial test ensures that a load-save function is the identity. It is so
far incomplete in that it only tests sessions without tickets or certificate.
This will be improved in the next commits.
This allows callers to discover what an appropriate size is. Otherwise they'd
have to either try repeatedly, or allocate an overly large buffer (or some
combination of those).
Adapt documentation an example usage in ssl_client2.
Avoid useless copy with mbedtls_ssl_get_session() before serialising.
Used in ssl_client2 for testing and demonstrating usage, but unfortunately
that means mbedtls_ssl_get_session() is no longer tested, which will be fixed
in the next commit.
This provides basic testing for the session (de)serialisation functions, as
well as an example of how to use them.
Tested locally with tests/ssl-opt.sh -f '^Session resume'.
On client side, this is required for the main use case where of serialising a
session for later resumption, in case tickets are used.
On server side, this doesn't change much as ticket_len will always be 0.
This unblocks testing the functions by using them in ssl_client2, which will
be done in the next commit.
This finishes making these functions public. Next step is to get them tested,
but there's currently a blocker for that, see next commit (and the commit
after it for tests).
The next commit with make the implementation publicly available as well.
For now the API is kept unchanged. The save function API has a serious drawback in that the user
must guess what an appropriate buffer size is.
Internally so far this didn't matter because we were only using that API for
ticket creation, and tickets are written to the SSL output buffer whose size
is fixed anyway, but for external users this might not be suitable. Improving
that is left for later.
Also, so far the functions are defined unconditionally. Whether we want to
re-use existing flags or introduce a new one is left for later.
Finally, currently suggested usage of calling get_session() then
session_save() is memory-inefficient in that get_session() already makes a
copy. I don't want to recommend accessing `ssl->session` directly as we want
to prohibit direct access to struct member in the future. Providing a clean
and efficient way is also left to a later commit.
This commit adds the command line option 'bad_cid' to the UDP proxy
`./programs/test/udp_proxy`. It takes a non-negative integral value N,
which if not 0 has the effect of duplicating every 1:N CID records
and modifying the CID in the first copy sent.
This is to exercise the stacks documented behaviour on receipt
of unexpected CIDs.
It is important to send the record with the unexpected CID first,
because otherwise the packet would be dropped already during
replay protection (the same holds for the implementation of the
existing 'bad_ad' option).
This commit modifies mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cid() to also allow passing
NULL pointers in the arguments for the peer's CID value and length, in
case this information is needed.
For example, some users might only be interested in whether the use of
the CID was negotiated, in which case both CID value and length pointers
can be set to NULL. Other users might only be interested in confirming
that the use of CID was negotiated and the peer chose the empty CID,
in which case the CID value pointer only would be set to NULL.
It doesn't make sense to pass a NULL pointer for the CID length but a
non-NULL pointer for the CID value, as the caller has no way of telling
the length of the returned CID - and this case is therefore forbidden.
This commit modifies the CID configuration API mbedtls_ssl_conf_cid_len()
to allow the configuration of the stack's behaviour when receiving an
encrypted DTLS record with unexpected CID.
Currently, the stack silently ignores DTLS frames with an unexpected CID.
However, in a system which performs CID-based demultiplexing before passing
datagrams to the Mbed TLS stack, unexpected CIDs are a sign of something not
working properly, and users might want to know about it.
This commit introduces an SSL error code MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_UNEXPECTED_CID
which the stack can return in response to an unexpected CID. It will
conditionally be put to use in subsequent commits.
