Steps:
1. sed -i 's/\bmemset(\([^)]\)/mbedtls_platform_memset(\1/g' library/*.c tinycrypt/*.c include/mbedtls/*.h scripts/data_files/*.fmt
2. Manually edit library/platform_util.c to revert to memset() in the
implementations of mbedtls_platform_memset() and mbedtls_platform_memcpy()
3. egrep -n '\<memset\>' library/*.c include/mbedtls/*.h tinycrypt/*.c
The remaining occurrences are in three categories:
a. From point 2 above.
b. In comments.
c. In the initialisation of memset_func, to be changed in a future commit.
This commit improves hygiene and formatting of macro definitions
throughout the library. Specifically:
- It adds brackets around parameters to avoid unintended
interpretation of arguments, e.g. due to operator precedence.
- It adds uses of the `do { ... } while( 0 )` idiom for macros that
can be used as commands.
Somehow, mbedtls_sha1_ret() is defined even if MBEDTLS_SHA1_ALT
is set, and it is using SHA1_VALIDATE_RET. The documentation should
be enhanced to indicate that MBEDTLS_SHA1_ALT does _not_ replace
the entire module, but only the core SHA-1 functions.
The basis for the Lucky 13 family of attacks is for an attacker to be able to
distinguish between (long) valid TLS-CBC padding and invalid TLS-CBC padding.
Since our code sets padlen = 0 for invalid padding, the length of the input to
the HMAC function gives information about that.
Information about this length (modulo the MD/SHA block size) can be deduced
from how much MD/SHA padding (this is distinct from TLS-CBC padding) is used.
If MD/SHA padding is read from a (static) buffer, a local attacker could get
information about how much is used via a cache attack targeting that buffer.
Let's get rid of this buffer. Now the only buffer used is the internal MD/SHA
one, which is always read fully by the process() function.
This commit removes all the static occurrencies of the function
mbedtls_zeroize() in each of the individual .c modules. Instead the
function has been moved to utils.h that is included in each of the
modules.
In 2.7.0, we replaced a number of MD functions with deprecated inline
versions. This causes ABI compatibility issues, as the functions are no
longer guaranteed to be callable when built into a shared library.
Instead, deprecate the functions without also inlining them, to help
maintain ABI backwards compatibility.
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.
The following function calls are being deprecated to introduce int
return values.
* mbedtls_sha1()
* mbedtls_sha1_starts()
* mbedtls_sha1_update()
* mbedtls_sha1_finish()
* mbedtls_sha1_process()
The return codes can be used to return error values. This is important
when using hardware accelerators.
* mbedtls-1.3:
Use link-time garbage collection in memory.sh
scripts/memory.sh only work on Linux
Add missing 'const' on selftest data
Use only headers for doxygen (no doc in C files)
Add missing extern "C" guard in aesni.h
Fix compile error with renego disabled
Remove slow PKCS5 test
Stop checking key-cert match systematically
Make tests/*.sh runnable from anywhere
Update visual C files
All symmetric cipher algorithms and hash algorithms now include support
for a POLARSSL_XXX_ALT flag that prevents the definition of the
algorithm context structure and all 'core' functions.
(cherry picked from commit 4087c47043)
New padding checking is unbiased on correct or incorrect padding and
has no branch prediction timing differences.
The additional MAC checks further straighten out the timing differences.
