New set of unit tests for the timing module, instead of just running
the selftest function.
The selftest function sometimes fails on a heavily loaded
machine (such as a typical continuous integration system). Because of
the all-in-one nature of the test and because the exact load pattern
can be hard to reproduce, it is difficult to diagnose failures of CI
runs with selftest. The new tests are more separated and I strove to
point out potential failure modes in comments.
* mbedtls_timing_hardclock: not tested. This function gives so few
guarantees that there isn't much to test, and it is hard to test
reliably because clock cycles don't easily relate to time in any
remotely portable way. This function isn't used in the library
anyway, it's only there for benchmark programs.
* mbedtls_timing_get_timer: tested by setting a timer and verifying
that it reaches its target, and by verifying that a timer started
later than another always has a smaller elapsed time.
* mbedtls_set_alarm: tested by setting an alarm, busy-waiting for it
and measuring the elapsed time with a timer.
* mbedtls_timing_set_delay, mbedtls_timing_get_delay: tested by
setting a delay object and watching it go through its two delay
values, using a timer to check that the delays are passed at the
expected time.
The tests pass under light to moderate load, but some of them can be
defeated with sufficiently heavy load. This is unavoidable since the
test process to be effectively suspended for any length of time,
making us think that a timer has gone on for too long.
Print some not-very-nice-looking but helpful diagnosis information if
the timing selftest fails. Since the failures tend to be due to heavy
system load that's hard to reproduce, this information is necessary to
understand what's going on.
mbedtls_timing_get_timer with reset=1 is called both to initialize a
timer object and to reset an already-initialized object. In an
initial call, the content of the data structure is indeterminate, so
the code should not read from it. This could crash if signed overflows
trap, for example.
As a consequence, on reset, we can't return the previously elapsed
time as was previously done on Windows. Return 0 as was done on Unix.
The POSIX/Unix implementation of mbedtls_set_alarm did not set the
mbedtls_timing_alarmed flag when called with 0, which was inconsistent
with what the documentation implied and with the Windows behavior.
Our README claims that we only use basic Make functionality, but in
fact GNU make is required for conditional compilation. Document this.
Addresses issue #967
Add a test case calling ssl_set_hostname twice to test_suite_ssl.
When run in CMake build mode ASan, this catches the current leak,
but will hopefully be fine with the new version.
Document the preconditions on the input and output buffers for
the PKCS1 decryption functions
- mbedtls_rsa_pkcs1_decrypt,
- mbedtls_rsa_rsaes_pkcs1_v15_decrypt
- mbedtls_rsa_rsaes_oaep_decrypt
As noted in #557, several functions use 'index' resp. 'time'
as parameter names in their declaration and/or definition, causing name
conflicts with the functions in the C standard library of the same
name some compilers warn about.
This commit renames the arguments accordingly.
The AES sample application programs/aes/aescrypt2 could miss zeroizing
the stack-based key buffer in case of an error during operation. This
commit fixes this and also clears another temporary buffer as well as
all command line arguments (one of which might be the key) before exit.
The AES sample application programs/aes/crypt_and_hash could miss
zeroizing the stack-based key buffer in case of an error during
operation. This commit fixes this and also clears all command line
arguments (one of which might be the key) before exit.
Fix a resource leak on windows platform, in mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path,
in case a failure. when an error occurs, goto cleanup, and free the
resource, instead of returning error code immediately.
Protecting the ECP hardware acceleratior with mutexes is inconsistent with the
philosophy of the library. Pre-existing hardware accelerator interfaces
leave concurrency support to the underlying platform.
Fixes#863
The tests only work for a specific number for MBEDTLS_X509_MAX_INTERMEDIATE_CA
so the check has been changed to confirm the default value, and to show an error
otherwise.
