Usually, compilers are clever enough to pick the best inlining
strategy, but in this instance, it appears that compiling on ARMC6,
the compilers inlines xxx_prf_yyy() and xxx_calc_finished_yyy()
even though it really shouldn't. Forbid inlining through the use
of __attribute__((noinline)).
This saves a few bytes in configurations where only one hash
is enabled, and configurations allowing multiple hashes probably
don't care about code-size anyway.
Now function mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname is compile-time configurable
in config.h with define MBEDTLS_X509_REMOVE_HOSTNAME_VERIFICATION.
This affects to many x509 API's. See config.h for details.
tinyCrypt uses a global RNG without context parameter while Mbed TLS in its
default configuration uses RNG+CTX bound to the SSL configuration.
This commit restricts the use of tinyCrypt to configurations that use a
global RNG function with NULL context by setting MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_RNG in
the configuration. This allows to define a wrapper RNG to be used by
tinyCrypt which maps to this global hardcoded RNG.
Previously, ssl_ecrs_ske_start_processing was used to indicate that
the ServerKeyExchange has been fetched from the record layer, but
that parsing its ECDHE parameter component has been preempted by the
restartable ECP feature. On re-entry of ssl_parse_server_key_exchange()
in this state, the code would directly jump into the parsing routine.
However, the only non-reentrant code that's jumped over this way is
the record fetching routine mbedtls_ssl_parse_record(), which is now
made re-entrant by setting `ssl->keep_current_message = 1` in case of
pre-emption due to restartable ECC.
The ssl_ecrs_ske_start_processing state is therefore redundant and
can be removed, which is what this commit does.
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.
After and performing key generation operations,
the client-side outgoing ClientKeyExchange handling includes
code-paths to assembly the PreMasterSecret (PMS) from the
available keying material, the exact assembly procedure
depending on which ciphersuite is in use. E.g., in an
(EC)DHE-PSK ciphersuite, the (EC)DHE secret would be concatenated
with the PSK to form the PMS.
This assembly of the PMS logically can be done after the ClientKeyExchange
has been written and the respective keying material has been generated,
and this commit moves it to the new postprocessing function
ssl_client_key_exchange_postprocess().
Ideally, the PMS assembly could be done prior to writing the
ClientKeyExchange message, but the (EC)DHE API does currently
not allow splitting secret-generation and secret-export; as
long as that's the case, we to generation and exporting in the
message writing function, forcing PMS assembly to be done in
the postprocessing.
This commit adds declarations and dummy implementations for
the restructured outgoing client key exchange handling that
will replace the previous ssl_write_client_key_exchange().
The entry point for the CliKeyExchange handling that is called
from the handshake state machine is
`ssl_process_client_key_exchange()`,
splitting the processing into the following steps:
- Preparation
Compute the keying material to be sent.
* For (EC)DH: Pick parameters and compute PMS.
* For ECJPAKE: Run round 2
* For RSA: Encrypt PMS
- Writing: Prepare the writing of a new messae.
- Postprocessing: Update handstate state machine.
The subsequent commits will scatter the code from the previous
monolithic function ssl_write_client_key_exchange() among those
dedicated functions, commenting out each part of
ssl_write_client_key_exchange() that has already been dealt with.
This gradual progression is meant to ease reviewing. Once all
code has been moved and all changes explained,
ssl_write_client_key_exchange() will be removed.
Commit 16b1bd8932 "bn_mul.h: add ARM DSP optimized MULADDC code"
added some ARM DSP instructions that was assumed to always be available
when __ARM_FEATURE_DSP is defined to 1. Unfortunately it appears that
the ARMv5TE architecture (GCC flag -march=armv5te) supports the DSP
instructions, but only in Thumb mode and not in ARM mode, despite
defining __ARM_FEATURE_DSP in both cases.
This patch fixes the build issue by requiring at least ARMv6 in addition
to the DSP feature.
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.
The function mbedtls_ssl_in_hdr_len() is supposed to return the length
of the record header of the current incoming record. With the advent
of the DTLS Connection ID, this length is only known at runtime and
hence so far needed to be derived from the internal in_iv pointer
pointing to the beginning of the payload of the current incooing
record.
By now, however, those uses of mbedtls_ssl_in_hdr_len() where the
presence of a CID would need to be detected have been removed
(specifically, ssl_parse_record_header() doesn't use it anymore
when checking that the current datagram is large enough to hold
the record header, including the CID), and it's sufficient to
statically return the default record header sizes of 5 / 13 Bytes
for TLS / DTLS.
This function is often called when there's already an error code to handle,
and one of the reasons to introduce the pending of alerts was to _not_ have
another potential error code to take care of. Reflect this by making `void`
the return type of `mbedtls_ssl_pend_fatal_alert()`.
The code wants timer callbacks to be set (checked in fetch_input()), and can't
easily check whether we're using nbio, so it seems easier to require the
callbacks to be always set rather than only with nbio as was previously done.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The fields
- mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::max_major_ver,
- mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::max_minor_ver
are used only for server-side RSA-based key exchanges
can be removed otherwise.
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
> ./scripts/baremetal.sh --rom --gcc
If the minor/major version is enforced at compile-time, the `major_ver`
and `minor_ver` fields in `mbedtls_ssl_context` are redundant and can
be removed.
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.
This commit restructures ssl_ciphersuites.h and ssl_ciphersuites.c to
define all ciphersuite helper functions static inline in ssl_ciphersuites.h
if MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is set, and to otherwise put their
definitions in ssl_ciphersuites.c.
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 modifies the ClientHello writing routine ssl_write_client_hello
in ssl_cli.c to switch between
(a) listing all runtime configured ciphersuites
(in case MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is not defined)
(b) listing just the single hardcoded ciphersuite
(in case MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is defined)
The approach taken is to introduce a pair of helper macros
MBEDTLS_SSL_BEGIN_FOR_EACH_CIPHERSUITE( ssl, ver, info )
MBEDTLS_SSL_END_FOR_EACH_CIPHERSUITE
which when delimiting a block of code lead to that block of
code being run once for each ciphersuite that's enabled in the
context `ssl` and version `ver`, referenced through the (fresh)
`info` variable. Internally, this is implemented either through
a plain `for` loop traversing the runtime configured ciphersuite
list (if MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is disabled) or by just
hardcoding `info` to the single enabled ciphersuite (if
MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is enabled).
These helper macros will prove useful whereever previous code
traversed the runtime configured ciphersuite list, but adaptations
of those occasions outside ClientHello writing are left for later
commits.
This commit is a step towards the goal of allowing to hardcode the choice
of a single ciphersuite at compile-time. The hoped for benefit of this is
that whereever a ciphersuite attribute is queried and checked against a
compile-time constant, the check can be recognized as either true or false
at compile-time, hence leading to a code-size reduction.
For this to work, the ciphersuite attribute getter functions
mbedtls_ssl_suite_get_xxx() will be modified to return something
the compiler can recognize as a compile-time constant. In particular,
in order to avoid relying on constant propagation abilities of the
compiler, these functions should ideally return constant symbols
(instead of, say, fields in a globally const structure instance).
This puts us in the following situation: On the one hand, there's the
array of ciphersuite information structures defining the attribute of
those ciphersuites the stack knows about. On the other hand, we need
direct access to those fields through constant symbols in the getter
functions.
In order to avoid any duplication of information, this commit exemplifies
how ciphersuites can be conveniently defined on the basis of macro
definitions, and how the corresponding instances of the ciphersuite
information structure can be auto-generated from this.
In the approach, to add support for a ciphersuite with official name
NAME (such as TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CCM_8), the following macro
constants need to be defined in ssl_ciphersuites.h:
MBEDTLS_SUITE__ NAME __ID
MBEDTLS_SUITE__ NAME __NAME
MBEDTLS_SUITE__ NAME __CIPHER
MBEDTLS_SUITE__ NAME __MAC
...
To make check-names.sh happy, one also needs a dummy macro
MBEDTLS_SUITE__ NAME()
These ciphersuite attribute values can then be queried via
MBEDTLS_SSL_SUITE_ID( NAME_MACRO )
...
where NAME_MACRO can be any macro expanding to a defined NAME.
Further, a convenience macro
MBEDTLS_SSL_SUITE_INFO( NAME_MACRO )
is provided that again takes a macro NAME_MACRO expanding to a
defined NAME, and itself expands to an instance of
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_info_t using the macro attributes
defined for NAME. This macro is then used in ssl_ciphersuites.c
when defining the array of known ciphersuite information structures,
(a) without duplicating the information, and (b) with increased
readability, because there's only one line for each ciphersuite.
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.
Previously, ssl.h included ssl_ciphersuites.h to have access to the
helper macros MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_XXX_ENABLED, and for no other
reason. This commit moves the definitions of these macros to ssl.h,
thereby removing the dependency of ssl.h on ssl_ciphersuites.h.
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.

There are a number of PRs in flight that are going to append to the list of
getter functions for harcodeable SSL conf items, so leave that list at the end
in order to avoid conflicts between this PR and the SSL conf ones.
While not strictly related to this PR, this change improves readability in
some resumption-related runtime conditions that previously had rather ugly
preprocessor directives in the middle of already complex predicates.
The session cache is only server-side. This also aligns the conditions
guarding those fields with the condition guarding the function setting them -
no need to have the fields if we can't set them.
This preserves the API and ABI in the default config as it only affects
non-default configs.
Add a new configuration option MBEDTLS_SSL_SESSION_RESUMPTION
to enable/disable the session resumption feature including
ticket and cache based session resumption.
Previously, a call to mbedtls_x509_crt_xxx_release() would return
MBEDTLS_ERR_THREADING_MUTEX_ERROR if usage counter for the frame/PK
was 0. Now that resource counting can also be used outside of
threading support, this is no longer adequate, and this commit
changes the return code to MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_FATAL_ERROR; while
generic, this at least matches the top-level module.
Forbidding nested calls to acquire() allows to remove the reference
counting logic and hence saving some bytes of code. This is valuable
because MBEDTLS_X509_ALWAYS_FLUSH is likely to be used on constrained
systems where code-size is limited.
Previously, reference counting for the CRT frames and PK contexts
handed out by mbedtls_x509_crt_{frame|pk}_acquire() was implemented
only in case threading support was enabled, which leaves the door
open for a potential use-after-free should a single-threaded application
use nested calls to mbedtls_x509_crt_acquire().
Since Mbed TLS itself does not use such nested calls, it might be
preferred long-term to forbid nesting of acquire calls on the API
level, and hence get rid of reference counting in the interest of
code-size benefits. However, this can be considered as an optimization
of X.509 on demand parsing, and for now this commit introduces
reference counting unconditionally to have a safe version of
on demand parsing to build further optimizations upon.
Previously, only one thread could access the parsing cache of an X.509 CRT
at a time. Firstly, this leads to significant performance penalties on
systems running many concurrent threads which share CRT structures --
for example, server threads sharing an SSL configuration containing the
server CRT. Secondly, the locking should be logically unnecessary, because
the threads are supposed to access the CRT frame and PK in a read-only,
or at least thread-safe manner.
This commit modifies the X.509 CRT cache implementation by allowing an
arbitrary number of concurrent readers, locking only the path of setting
up and clearing the cache.
In contrast to mbedtls_x509_crt_frame_acquire(), the public key context
returned by mbedtls_x509_crt_pk_acquire() cannot be marked `const` because
the caller must be able to use it e.g. for mbedtls_pk_sign() and
mbedtls_pk_verify(), which don't have `const` input parameters.
Instead, return a non-`const` context, but explicitly state that callers
must use that context in a thread-safe way.
We cannot move it to x509_crt.c because there are some static inline
function definitions in x509_crt.h which access members of
mbedtls_x509_crt_cache.
This commit introduces a compile-time option MBEDTLS_X509_ALWAYS_FLUSH
which controls whether releasing of CRT frames or public key contexts
associated to X.509 CRTs (or, in the future, other cached parsed X.509
structures) should lead to freeing those structures immediately.
Enabling this alongside of the MBEDTLS_X509_ON_DEMAND_PARSING leads
to significant reduction of the average RAM consumption of Mbed TLS.
The option is enabled by default to reduce the permanent RAM overhead of
MBEDTLS_X509_ON_DEMAND_PARSING in case the latter is *disabled* (default).
(Note that there is very little performance penalty enabling
MBEDTLS_X509_ALWAYS_FLUSH in case MBEDTLS_X509_ON_DEMAND_PARSING is disabled,
because hardly any parsing needs to be done to setup a CRT frame / PK context
from the legacy `mbedtls_x509_crt` structure.)
So far, the CRT frame structure `mbedtls_x509_crt_frame` used
as `issuer_raw` and `subject_raw` the _content_ of the ASN.1
name structure for issuer resp. subject. This was in contrast
to the fields `issuer_raw` and `subject_raw` from the legacy
`mbedtls_x509_crt` structure, and caused some information
duplication by having both variants `xxx_no_hdr` and `xxx_with_hdr`
in `mbedtls_x509_crt` and `mbedtls_x509_crt_frame`.
This commit removes this mismatch by solely using the legacy
form of `issuer_raw` and `subject_raw`, i.e. those _including_
the ASN.1 name header.
With the introduction of `mbedtls_x509_crt_get_{issuer|name}()`,
users need an easy way of freeing the dynamic name structures these
functions return.
To that end, this commit renames `x509_{sequence|name}_free()`
to `mbedtls_x509_{sequence|name}_free()` and gives them external linkage.
The legacy `mbedtls_x509_crt` contains fields `issuer/subject`
which are dynamically allocated linked list presentations of the
CRTs issuer and subject names, respectively.
The new CRT frame structure `mbedtls_x509_crt_frame`, however,
only provides pointers to the raw ASN.1 buffers for the issuer
and subject, for reasons of memory usage.
For convenience to users that previously used the `issuer`/`subject`
fields of `mbedtls_x509_crt`, this commit adds two public API functions
`mbedtls_x509_crt_get_subject()` and `mbedtls_x509_crt_get_issuer()`
which allow to request the legacy linked list presentation of the
CRTs subject / issuer names.
Similar to `mbedtls_x509_crt_get_pk()`, the returned names are owned
by the user, and must be freed through a call to `mbedtls_x509_name_free()`.
This commit unconditionally adds two convenience API functions:
- mbedtls_x509_crt_get_frame()
- mbedtls_x509_crt_get_pk()
which allow users to extract a CRT frame or PK context
from a certificate.
The difference with the existing acquire/release API for frame and PK
contexts is that in contrast to the latter, the structures returned by
the new API are owned by the user (and, in case of the PK context, need
to be freed by him). This makes the API easier to use, but comes at the
cost of additional memory overhead.
This commit replaces the dummy implementation of the CRT acquire/release
framework by a cache-based implementation which remembers frame and PK
associated to a CRT across multiple `acquire/release` pairs.
This commit restructures the parsing of X.509 CRTs in the following way:
First, it introduces a 'frame' structure `mbedtls_x509_crt_frame`, which
contains pointers to some structured fields of a CRT as well as copies of
primitive fields. For example, there's a pointer-length pair delimiting the raw
public key data in the CRT, but there's a C-uint8 to store the CRT version
(not a pointer-length pair delimiting the ASN.1 structure holding the version).
Setting up a frame from a raw CRT buffer does not require any memory outside
of the frame structure itself; it's just attaches a 'template' to the buffer
that allows to inspect the structured parts of the CRT afterwards.
Note that the frame structure does not correspond to a particular ASN.1
structure; for example, it contains pointers to delimit the three parts
of a CRT (TBS, SignatureAlgorithm, Signature), but also pointers to the
fields of the TBS, and pointers into the Extensions substructure of the TBS.
Further, the commit introduces an internal function `x509_crt_parse_frame()`
which sets up a frame from a raw CRT buffer, as well as several small helper
functions which help setting up the more complex structures (Subject, Issuer, PK)
from the frame.
These functions are then put to use to rewrite the existing parsing function
`mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_core()` by setting up a CRT frame from the input
buffer, residing on the stack, and afterwards copying the respective fields
to the actual `mbedtls_x509_crt` structure and performing the deeper parsing
through the various helper functions.
At every occasion where we're using `mbedtls_x509_memcasecmp()` we're
checking that the two buffer lengths coincide before making the call.
This commit saves a few bytes of code by moving this length check
to `mbedtls_x509_memcasecmp()`.
This commit adds a new function `mbedtls_asn1_traverse_sequence_of()`
which traverses an ASN.1 SEQUENCE and calls a user-provided callback
for each entry.
It allows to put the following constraints on the tags allowed
in the SEQUENCE:
- A tag mask and mandatory tag value w.r.t. that mask.
A non-matching tag leads to an MBEDTLS_ERR_ASN1_UNEXPECTED_TAG error.
For example, it the mask if 0xFF, this means that only
a single tag will be allowed in the SEQUENCE.
- A tag mask and optional tag value w.r.t. that mask.
A non-matching tag is silently ignored.
The main use for this flexibility is the traversal of the
`SubjectAlternativeNames` extension, where some parts of the
tag are fixed but some are flexible to indicate which type
of name the entry describes.
This is analogous to a previous commit for the `ExtendedKeyUsage`
extension: We aim at not using dynamically allocated linked lists
to represent the components of the `SubjectAlternativeName` extension,
but to traverse the raw ASN.1 data when needed.
This commit adds a field to `mbedtls_x509_crt` containing the raw
ASN.1 buffer bounds of the `SubjectAlternativeNames` extension.
This commit re-implements `mbedtls_x509_crt_check_extended_key_usage()`
to not use the dynamically allocated linked list presentation of the
`ExtendedKeyUsage` but to search for the required usage by traversing
the raw ASN.1 data.
The previous commits replace the use of dynamically allocated linked lists
for X.509 name inspection. This commit is the first in a series which attempts
the same for the `ExtendedKeyUsage` extension. So far, when a CRT is parsed,
the extension is traversed and converted into a dynamically allocated linked
list, which is then search through whenever the usage of a CRT needs to be
checked through `mbedtls_x509_check_extended_key_usage()`.
As a first step, this commit introduces a raw buffer holding the bounds
of the `ExtendedKeyUsage` extension to the `mbedtls_x509_crt` structure.
There are three operations that need to be performed on an X.509 name:
1 Initial traversal to check well-formedness of the ASN.1 structure.
2 Comparison between two X.509 name sequences.
3 Checking whether an X.509 name matches a client's ServerName request.
Each of these tasks involves traversing the nested ASN.1 structure,
In the interest of saving code, we aim to provide a single function
which can perform all of the above tasks.
The existing comparison function is already suitable not only for task 2,
but also for 1: One can simply pass two equal ASN.1 name buffers, in which
case the function will succeed if and only if that buffer is a well-formed
ASN.1 name.
This commit further adds a callback to `mbedtls_x509_name_cmp_raw()` which
is called after each successful step in the simultaneous name traversal and
comparison; it may perform any operation on the current name and potentially
signal that the comparison should be aborted.
With that, task 3 can be implemented by passing equal names and a callback
which aborts as soon as it finds the desired name component.
