According to SP800-90A, the DRBG seeding process should use a nonce
of length `security_strength / 2` bits as part of the DRBG seed. It
further notes that this nonce may be drawn from the same source of
entropy that is used for the first `security_strength` bits of the
DRBG seed. The present HMAC DRBG implementation does that, requesting
`security_strength * 3 / 2` bits of entropy from the configured entropy
source in total to form the initial part of the DRBG seed.
However, some entropy sources may have thresholds in terms of how much
entropy they can provide in a single call to their entropy gathering
function which may be exceeded by the present HMAC DRBG implementation
even if the threshold is not smaller than `security_strength` bits.
Specifically, this is the case for our own entropy module implementation
which only allows requesting at most 32 Bytes of entropy at a time
in configurations disabling SHA-512, and this leads to runtime failure
of HMAC DRBG when used with Mbed Crypto' own entropy callbacks in such
configurations.
This commit fixes this by splitting the seed entropy acquisition into
two calls, one requesting `security_strength` bits first, and another
one requesting `security_strength / 2` bits for the nonce.
Fixes#237.
compat.sh used to skip OpenSSL altogether for DTLS 1.2, because older
versions of OpenSSL didn't support it. But these days it is supported.
We don't want to use DTLS 1.2 with OpenSSL unconditionally, because we
still use legacy versions of OpenSSL to test with legacy ciphers. So
check whether the version we're using supports it.
Without any -O option, the default is -O0, and then the assembly code
is not used, so this would not be a non-regression test for the
assembly code that doesn't build.
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.
Due to how the checking script is run in docker, worktree_rev is
ambiguous when running rev-parse. We're running it in the checked
out worktree, so we can use HEAD instead, which is unambiguous.
This test case was only executed if the SHA-512 module was enabled and
MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_FORCE_SHA256 was not enabled, so "config.pl full"
didn't have a chance to reach it even if that enabled
MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_NV_SEED_ALT.
Now all it takes to enable this test is MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_NV_SEED_ALT
and its requirements, and the near-ubiquitous MD module.
Call mbedtls_entropy_free on test failure.
Restore the previous NV seed functions which the call to
mbedtls_platform_set_nv_seed() changed. This didn't break anything,
but only because the NV seed functions used for these tests happened
to work for the tests that got executed later in the .data file.
memset has undefined behavior when either pointer can be NULL, which
is the case when it's the result of malloc/calloc with a size of 0.
The memset calls here are useless anyway since they come immediately
after calloc.
All modules using restartable ECC operations support passing `NULL`
as the restart context as a means to not use the feature.
The restart contexts for ECDSA and ECP are nested, and when calling
restartable ECP operations from restartable ECDSA operations, the
address of the ECP restart context to use is calculated by adding
the to the address of the ECDSA restart context the offset the of
the ECP restart context.
If the ECP restart context happens to not reside at offset `0`, this
leads to a non-`NULL` pointer being passed to restartable ECP
operations from restartable ECDSA-operations; those ECP operations
will hence assume that the pointer points to a valid ECP restart
address and likely run into a segmentation fault when trying to
dereference the non-NULL but close-to-NULL address.
The problem doesn't arise currently because luckily the ECP restart
context has offset 0 within the ECDSA restart context, but we should
not rely on it.
This commit fixes the passage from restartable ECDSA to restartable ECP
operations by propagating NULL as the restart context pointer.
Apart from being fragile, the previous version could also lead to
NULL pointer dereference failures in ASanDbg builds which dereferenced
the ECDSA restart context even though it's not needed to calculate the
address of the offset'ed ECP restart context.

Refactor receive_uint32()

Make the script portable to both pythons
Update the test encoding to support python3
update the test script
Fix error `ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10:` that
is caused when a parameter is given in base 16. Use relevant base
when calling `int()` function.
Call `greentea_getc()` 8 times, and then `unhexify` once, instead of
calling `receive_byte()`, which inside calls `greentea_getc()` twice,
for every hex digit.
Since Python3 handles encoding differently than Python2,
a change in the way the data is encoded and sent to the target is needed.
1. Change the test data to be sent as hex string
2. Convert the characters to binary bytes.
This is done because the mbed tools translate the encoding differently
(mbed-greentea, and mbed-htrunner)
Limit log output in compat.sh and ssl-opt.sh, in case of failures with
these scripts where they may output seemingly unlimited length error
logs.
Note that ulimit -f uses units of 512 bytes, so we use 10 * 1024 * 1024
* 2 to get 10 GiB.

The failure of mbedtls_md was not checked in one place. This could have led
to an incorrect computation if a hardware accelerator failed. In most cases
this would have led to the key exchange failing, so the impact would have been
a hard-to-diagnose error reported in the wrong place. If the two sides of the
key exchange failed in the same way with an output from mbedtls_md that was
independent of the input, this could have led to an apparently successful key
exchange with a predictable key, thus a glitching md accelerator could have
caused a security vulnerability.
