To prevent dropping the same message over and over again, the UDP proxy
test application programs/test/udp_proxy _logically_ maintains a mapping
from records to the number of times the record has already been dropped,
and stops dropping once a configurable threshold (currently 2) is passed.
However, the actual implementation deviates from this logical view
in two crucial respects:
- To keep the implementation simple and independent of
implementations of suitable map interfaces, it only counts how
many times a record of a given _size_ has been dropped, and
stops dropping further records of that size once the configurable
threshold is passed. Of course, this is not fail-proof, but a
good enough approximation for the proxy, and it allows to use
an inefficient but simple array for the required map.
- The implementation mixes datagram lengths and record lengths:
When deciding whether it is allowed to drop a datagram, it
uses the total datagram size as a lookup index into the map
counting the number of times a package has been dropped. However,
when updating this map, the UDP proxy traverses the datagram
record by record, and updates the mapping at the level of record
lengths.
Apart from this inconsistency, the introduction of the Connection ID
feature leads to yet another problem: The CID length is not part of
the record header but dynamically negotiated during (potentially
encrypted!) handshakes, and it is hence impossible for a passive traffic
analyzer (in this case our UDP proxy) to reliably parse record headers;
especially, it isn't possible to reliably infer the length of a record,
nor to dissect a datagram into records.
The previous implementation of the UDP proxy was not CID-aware and
assumed that the record length would always reside at offsets 11, 12
in the DTLS record header, which would allow it to iterate through
the datagram record by record. As mentioned, this is no longer possible
for CID-based records, and the current implementation can run into
a buffer overflow in this case (because it doesn't validate that
the record length is not larger than what remains in the datagram).
This commit removes the inconsistency in datagram vs. record length
and resolves the buffer overflow issue by not attempting any dissection
of datagrams into records, and instead only counting how often _datagrams_
of a particular size have been dropped.
There is only one practical situation where this makes a difference:
If datagram packing is used by default but disabled on retransmission
(which OpenSSL has been seen to do), it can happen that we drop a
datagram in its initial transmission, then also drop some of its records
when they retransmitted one-by-one afterwards, yet still keeping the
drop-counter at 1 instead of 2. However, even in this situation, we'll
correctly count the number of droppings from that point on and eventually
stop dropping, because the peer will not fall back to using packing
and hence use stable record lengths.
This commit adds the command line option 'bad_cid' to the UDP proxy
`./programs/test/udp_proxy`. It takes a non-negative integral value N,
which if not 0 has the effect of duplicating every 1:N CID records
and modifying the CID in the first copy sent.
This is to exercise the stacks documented behaviour on receipt
of unexpected CIDs.
It is important to send the record with the unexpected CID first,
because otherwise the packet would be dropped already during
replay protection (the same holds for the implementation of the
existing 'bad_ad' option).
ApplicationData records are not protected against loss by DTLS
and our test applications ssl_client2 and ssl_server2 don't
implement any retransmission scheme to deal with loss of the
data they exchange. Therefore, the UDP proxy programs/test/udp_proxy
does not drop ApplicationData records.
With the introduction of the Connection ID, encrypted ApplicationData
records cannot be recognized as such by inspecting the record content
type, as the latter is always set to the CID specific content type for
protected records using CIDs, while the actual content type is hidden
in the plaintext.
To keep tests working, this commit adds CID records to the list of
content types which are protected against dropping by the UDP proxy.
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.
Remove the ssl_cert_test sample application, as it uses
hardcoded certificates that moved, and is redundant with the x509
tests and applications. Fixes#1905.
The previous prototype gave warnings are the strings produced by #cond and
__FILE__ are const, so we shouldn't implicitly cast them to non-const.
While at it modifying most example programs:
- include the header that has the function declaration, so that the definition
can be checked to match by the compiler
- fix whitespace
- make it work even if PLATFORM_C is not defined:
- CHECK_PARAMS is not documented as depending on PLATFORM_C and there is
no reason why it should
- so, remove the corresponding #if defined in each program...
- and add missing #defines for mbedtls_exit when needed
The result has been tested (make all test with -Werror) with the following
configurations:
- full with CHECK_PARAMS with PLATFORM_C
- full with CHECK_PARAMS without PLATFORM_C
- full without CHECK_PARAMS without PLATFORM_C
- full without CHECK_PARAMS with PLATFORM_C
Additionally, it has been manually tested that adding
mbedtls_aes_init( NULL );
near the normal call to mbedtls_aes_init() in programs/aes/aescrypt2.c has the
expected effect when running the program.
The sample programs require an additional handler function of
mbedtls_param_failed() to handle any failed parameter validation checks enabled
by the MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS config.h option.
Some sample programs access structure fields directly. Making these work is
desirable in the long term, but these are not essential for the core
functionality in non-legacy mode.
Previously, the UDP proxy could only remember one delayed message
for future transmission; if two messages were delayed in succession,
without another one being normally forwarded in between,
the message that got delayed first would be dropped.
This commit enhances the UDP proxy to allow to delay an arbitrary
(compile-time fixed) number of messages in succession.
Functions time with TIME_AND_TSC() didn't have their return values checked.
I'm not sure whether Coverity complained about existing uses, but it did about
new ones, since we consistently check their return values everywhere but here,
which it rightfully finds suspicious.
So, let's check return values. This probably adds a few cycles to existing
loop overhead, but on my machine (x86_64) the added overhead is less than the
random-looking variation between various runs, so it's acceptable.
Some calls had their own particular error checking; remove that in favour of
the new general solution.

AES-XEX is a building block for other cryptographic standards and not yet a
standard in and of itself. We'll just provide the standardized AES-XTS
algorithm, and not AES-XEX. The AES-XTS algorithm and interface provided
can be used to perform the AES-XEX algorithm when the length of the input
is a multiple of the AES block size.
XTS mode is fully known as "xor-encrypt-xor with ciphertext-stealing".
This is the generalization of the XEX mode.
This implementation is limited to an 8-bits (1 byte) boundary, which
doesn't seem to be what was thought considering some test vectors [1].
This commit comes with tests, extracted from [1], and benchmarks.
Although, benchmarks aren't really nice here, as they work with a buffer
of a multiple of 16 bytes, which isn't a challenge for XTS compared to
XEX.

This module used (len, pointer) while (pointer, len) is more common in the
rest of the library, in particular it's what's used in the CMAC API that is
very comparable to Poly1305, so switch to (pointer, len) for consistency.
While the old name is explicit and aligned with the RFC, it's also very long,
so with the mbedtls_ prefix prepended we get a 31-char prefix to each
identifier, which quickly conflicts with our 80-column policy.
The new name is shorter, it's what a lot of people use when speaking about
that construction anyway, and hopefully should not introduce confusion at
it seems unlikely that variants other than 20/1305 be standardised in the
foreseeable future.
