In mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod(), the limit check on wsize is never true when
MBEDTLS_MPI_WINDOW_SIZE is at least 6. Wrap in a preprocessor guard
to remove the dead code and resolve a Coverity finding from the
DEADCODE checker.

Refactor `mpi_write_hlp()` to not be recursive, to fix stack overflows.
Iterate over the `mbedtls_mpi` division of the radix requested,
until it is zero. Each iteration, put the residue in the next LSB
of the output buffer. Fixes#2190
In mbedtls_mpi_write_binary, avoid leaking the size of the number
through timing or branches, if possible. More precisely, if the number
fits in the output buffer based on its allocated size, the new code's
trace doesn't depend on the value of the number.
When a random number is generated for the Miller-Rabin primality test,
if the bit length of the random number is larger than the number being
tested, the random number is shifted right to have the same bit length.
This introduces bias, as the random number is now guaranteed to be
larger than 2^(bit length-1).
Changing this to instead zero all bits higher than the tested numbers
bit length will remove this bias and keep the random number being
uniformly generated.
The input distribution to primality testing functions is completely
different when used for generating primes and when for validating
primes. The constants used in the library are geared towards the prime
generation use case and are weak when used for validation. (Maliciously
constructed composite numbers can pass the test with high probability)
The mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() function is in the public API and although it
is not documented, it is reasonable to assume that the primary use case
is validating primes. The RSA module too uses it for validating key
material.
This commit modifies mpi_read_binary to always allocate the minimum number of
limbs required to hold the entire buffer provided to the function, regardless of
its content. Previously, leading zero bytes in the input data were detected and
used to reduce memory footprint and time, but this non-constant behavior turned
out to be non-tolerable for the cryptographic applications this function is used
for.
When provided with an empty line, mpi_read_file causes a numeric
underflow resulting in a stack underflow. This commit fixes this and
adds some documentation to mpi_read_file.
The modular inversion function hangs when provided with the modulus 1. This commit refuses this modulus with a BAD_INPUT error code. It also adds a test for this case.
Fix a buffer overflow when writting a string representation of an MPI
number to a buffer in hexadecimal. The problem occurs because hex
digits are written in pairs and this is not accounted for in the
calculation of the required buffer size when the number of digits is
odd.
The function appears to be safe, since grow() is called with sensible
arguments in previous functions. Ideally Clang would be clever enough to
realise this. Even if N has size MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_LIMBS, which will
cause the grow to fail, the affected lines in montmul won't be reached.
Having this sanity check can hardly hurt though.
* yanesca/iss309:
Improved on the previous fix and added a test case to cover both types of carries.
Removed recursion from fix#309.
Improved on the fix of #309 and extended the test to cover subroutines.
Tests and fix added for #309 (inplace mpi doubling).
Found by Guido Vranken.
Two possible integer overflows (during << 2 or addition in BITS_TO_LIMB())
could result in far too few memory to be allocated, then overflowing the
buffer in the subsequent for loop.
Both integer overflows happen when slen is close to or greater than
SIZE_T_MAX >> 2 (ie 2^30 on a 32 bit system).
Note: one could also avoid those overflows by changing BITS_TO_LIMB(s << 2) to
CHARS_TO_LIMB(s >> 1) but the solution implemented looks more robust with
respect to future code changes.
