As a protection against the Lucky Thirteen attack, the TLS code for
CBC decryption in encrypt-then-MAC mode performs extra MAC
calculations to compensate for variations in message size due to
padding. The amount of extra MAC calculation to perform was based on
the assumption that the bulk of the time is spent in processing
64-byte blocks, which was correct for most supported hashes but not for
SHA-384. Adapt the formula to 128-byte blocks for SHA-384.
In mbedtls_ssl_derive_keys, don't call mbedtls_md_hmac_starts in
ciphersuites that don't use HMAC. This doesn't change the behavior of
the code, but avoids relying on an uncaught error when attempting to
start an HMAC operation that hadn't been initialized.
The _ext suffix suggests "new arguments", but the new functions have
the same arguments. Use _ret instead, to convey that the difference is
that the new functions return a value.

only, so use the one from the iotssl-1251 feature branch.
A previous commit changed the record encryption function
`ssl_encrypt_buf` to compute the MAC in a temporary buffer
and copying the relevant part of it (which is strictly smaller
if the truncated HMAC extension is used) to the outgoing message
buffer. However, the change was only made in case Encrypt-Then-MAC
was enabled, but not in case of MAC-Then-Encrypt. While this
doesn't constitute a problem, for the sake of uniformity this
commit changes `ssl_encrypt_buf` to compute the MAC in a temporary
buffer in this case, too.

In a previous PR (Fix heap corruption in implementation of truncated HMAC
extension #425) the place where MAC is computed was changed from the end of
the SSL I/O buffer to a local buffer (then (part of) the content of the local
buffer is either copied to the output buffer of compare to the input buffer).
Unfortunately, this change was made only for TLS 1.0 and later, leaving SSL
3.0 in an inconsistent state due to ssl_mac() still writing to the old,
hard-coded location, which, for MAC verification, resulted in later comparing
the end of the input buffer (containing the computed MAC) to the local buffer
(uninitialised), most likely resulting in MAC verification failure, hence no
interop (even with ourselves).
This commit completes the move to using a local buffer by using this strategy
for SSL 3.0 too. Fortunately ssl_mac() was static so it's not a problem to
change its signature.
In case truncated HMAC must be used but the Mbed TLS peer hasn't been updated
yet, one can use the compile-time option MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC_COMPAT to
temporarily fall back to the old, non-compliant implementation of the truncated
HMAC extension.
The truncated HMAC extension as described in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6066.html#section-7 specifies that when truncated
HMAC is used, only the HMAC output should be truncated, while the HMAC key
generation stays unmodified. This commit fixes Mbed TLS's behavior of also
truncating the key, potentially leading to compatibility issues with peers
running other stacks than Mbed TLS.
Details:
The keys for the MAC are pieces of the keyblock that's generated from the
master secret in `mbedtls_ssl_derive_keys` through the PRF, their size being
specified as the size of the digest used for the MAC, regardless of whether
truncated HMAC is enabled or not.
/----- MD size ------\ /------- MD size ----\
Keyblock +----------------------+----------------------+------------------+---
now | MAC enc key | MAC dec key | Enc key | ...
(correct) +----------------------+----------------------+------------------+---
In the previous code, when truncated HMAC was enabled, the HMAC keys
were truncated to 10 bytes:
/-10 bytes-\ /-10 bytes-\
Keyblock +-------------+-------------+------------------+---
previously | MAC enc key | MAC dec key | Enc key | ...
(wrong) +-------------+-------------+------------------+---
The reason for this was that a single variable `transform->maclen` was used for
both the keysize and the size of the final MAC, and its value was reduced from
the MD size to 10 bytes in case truncated HMAC was negotiated.
This commit fixes this by introducing a temporary variable `mac_key_len` which
permanently holds the MD size irrespective of the presence of truncated HMAC,
and using this temporary to obtain the MAC key chunks from the keyblock.
Previously, MAC validation for an incoming record proceeded as follows:
1) Make a copy of the MAC contained in the record;
2) Compute the expected MAC in place, overwriting the presented one;
3) Compare both.
This resulted in a record buffer overflow if truncated MAC was used, as in this
case the record buffer only reserved 10 bytes for the MAC, but the MAC
computation routine in 2) always wrote a full digest.
For specially crafted records, this could be used to perform a controlled write of
up to 6 bytes past the boundary of the heap buffer holding the record, thereby
corrupting the heap structures and potentially leading to a crash or remote code
execution.
This commit fixes this by making the following change:
1) Compute the expected MAC in a temporary buffer that has the size of the
underlying message digest.
2) Compare to this to the MAC contained in the record, potentially
restricting to the first 10 bytes if truncated HMAC is used.
A similar fix is applied to the encryption routine `ssl_encrypt_buf`.

Previously, if `MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION` was disabled, incoming handshake
messages in `mbedtls_ssl_read` (expecting application data) lead to the
connection being closed. This commit fixes this, restricting the
`MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION`-guard to the code-paths responsible for accepting
renegotiation requests and aborting renegotiation attempts after too many
unexpected records have been received.
This commit fixes the following case: If a client is both expecting a
SERVER_HELLO and has an application data record that's partially
processed in flight (that's the situation the client gets into after
receiving a ServerHelloRequest followed by ApplicationData), a
subsequent call to mbedtls_ssl_read will set keep_current_message = 1
when seeing the unexpected application data, but not reset it to 0
after the application data has been processed. This commit fixes this.
It also documents and suggests how the problem might be solved in a
more structural way on the long run.
This commit adds a hard assertion to mbedtls_ssl_read_record_layer
triggering if both ssl->in_hslen and ssl->in_offt are not 0. This
should never happen, and if it does, there's no sensible way of
telling whether the previous message was a handshake or an application
data message.
There are situations in which it is not clear what message to expect
next. For example, the message following the ServerHello might be
either a Certificate, a ServerKeyExchange or a CertificateRequest. We
deal with this situation in the following way: Initially, the message
processing function for one of the allowed message types is called,
which fetches and decodes a new message. If that message is not the
expected one, the function returns successfully (instead of throwing
an error as usual for unexpected messages), and the handshake
continues to the processing function for the next possible message. To
not have this function fetch a new message, a flag in the SSL context
structure is used to indicate that the last message was retained for
further processing, and if that's set, the following processing
function will not fetch a new record.
This commit simplifies the usage of this message-retaining parameter
by doing the check within the record-fetching routine instead of the
specific message-processing routines. The code gets cleaner this way
and allows retaining messages to be used in other situations as well
without much effort. This will be used in the next commits.
This commit adds four tests to tests/ssl-opt.sh:
(1) & (2): Check behaviour of optional/required verification when the
trusted CA chain is empty.
(3) & (4): Check behaviour of optional/required verification when the
client receives a server certificate with an unsupported curve.
This commit changes the behaviour of mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate
to make the two authentication modes MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_REQUIRED and
MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL be in the following relationship:
Mode == MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_REQUIRED
<=> Mode == MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL + check verify result
Also, it changes the behaviour to perform the certificate chain
verification even if the trusted CA chain is empty. Previously, the
function failed in this case, even when using optional verification,
which was brought up in #864.

By default, keep allowing SHA-1 in key exchange signatures. Disabling
it causes compatibility issues, especially with clients that use
TLS1.2 but don't send the signature_algorithms extension.
SHA-1 is forbidden in certificates by default, since it's vulnerable
to offline collision-based attacks.
Default to forbidding the use of SHA-1 in TLS where it is unsafe: for
certificate signing, and as the signature hash algorithm for the TLS
1.2 handshake signature. SHA-1 remains allowed in HMAC-SHA-1 in the
XXX_SHA ciphersuites and in the PRF for TLS <= 1.1.
For easy backward compatibility for use in controlled environments,
turn on the MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1 compiled-time option.

Remember suitable hash function for any signature algorithm.
Introduce macros and functions to characterize certain ciphersuites.
According to RFC5246 the server can indicate the known Certificate
Authorities or can constrain the aurhorisation space by sending a
certificate list. This part of the message is optional and if omitted,
the client may send any certificate in the response.
The previous behaviour of mbed TLS was to always send the name of all the
CAs that are configured as root CAs. In certain cases this might cause
usability and privacy issues for example:
- If the list of the CA names is longer than the peers input buffer then
the handshake will fail
- If the configured CAs belong to third parties, this message gives away
information on the relations to these third parties
Therefore we introduce an option to suppress the CA list in the
Certificate Request message.
Providing this feature as a runtime option comes with a little cost in
code size and advantages in maintenance and flexibility.
This commit changes `ssl_parse_signature_algorithms_ext` to remember
one suitable ( := supported by client and by our config ) hash
algorithm per signature algorithm.
It also modifies the ciphersuite checking function
`ssl_ciphersuite_match` to refuse a suite if there
is no suitable hash algorithm.
Finally, it adds the corresponding entry to the ChangeLog.
In many places in TLS handling, some code detects a fatal error, sends
a fatal alert message, and returns to the caller. If sending the alert
fails, then return the error that triggered the alert, rather than
overriding the return status. This effectively causes alert sending
failures to be ignored. Formerly the code was inconsistently sometimes
doing one, sometimes the other.
In general ignoring the alert is the right thing: what matters to the
caller is the original error. A typical alert failure is that the
connection is already closed.
One case which remains not handled correctly is if the alert remains
in the output buffer (WANT_WRITE). Then it won't be sent, or will be
truncated. We'd need to either delay the application error or record
the write buffering notice; to be done later.
The TLS client and server code was usually closing the connection in
case of a fatal error without sending an alert. This commit adds
alerts in many cases.
Added one test case to detect that we send the alert, where a server
complains that the client's certificate is from an unknown CA (case
tracked internally as IOTSSL-1330).
Fix an incorrect condition in ssl_check_ctr_renegotiate() that compared
64 bits of record counter instead of 48 bits as described in RFC 6347
Section 4.3.1. This would cause the function's return value to be
occasionally incorrect and the renegotiation routines to be triggered
at unexpected times.

Certificates with unsupported algorithms in the certificate chain
prevented verification even if a certificate before the unsupported
ones was already trusted.
We change the behaviour to ignoring every certificate with unknown
(unsupported) signature algorithm oid when parsing the certificate
chain received from the peer.
Separates platform time abstraction into it's own header from the
general platform abstraction as both depend on different build options.
(MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_C vs MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME)
Since the buffer is used in a few places, it seems Clang isn't clever
enough to realise that the first byte is never touched. So, even though
the function has a correct null check for ssl->handshake, Clang
complains. Pulling the handshake type out into its own variable is
enough for Clang's analysis to kick in though.
The callback typedefs defined for mbedtls_ssl_set_bio() and
mbedtls_ssl_set_timer_cb() were not used consistently where the callbacks were
referenced in structures or in code.
After the record contents are decompressed, in_len is no longer
accessed directly, only in_msglen is accessed. in_len is only read by
ssl_parse_record_header() which happens before ssl_prepare_record_contents().
This is also made clear by the fact that in_len is not touched after
decrypting anyway, so if it was accessed after that it would be wrong unless
decryption is used - as this is not the case, it show in_len is not accessed.
When the peer retransmits a flight with many record in the same datagram, and
we already saw one of the records in that datagram, we used to drop the whole
datagram, resulting in interoperability failure (spurious handshake timeouts,
due to ignoring record retransmitted by the peer) with some implementations
(issues with Chrome were reported).
So in those cases, we want to only drop the current record, and look at the
following records (if any) in the same datagram. OTOH, this is not something
we always want to do, as sometime the header of the current record is not
reliable enough.
This commit introduces a new return code for ssl_parse_header() that allows to
distinguish if we should drop only the current record or the whole datagram,
and uses it in mbedtls_ssl_read_record()
