- Populate the ECDH private key slot with a fresh private EC key
designated for the correct algorithm.
- Export the public part of the ECDH private key from PSA and
reformat it to suite the format of the ClientKeyExchange message.
- Perform the PSA-based ECDH key agreement and store the result
as the premaster secret for the connection.
Context: During a handshake, the SSL/TLS handshake logic constructs
an instance of ::mbedtls_ssl_session representing the SSL session
being established. This structure contains information such as the
session's master secret, the peer certificate, or the session ticket
issues by the server (if applicable).
During a renegotiation, the new session is constructed aside the existing
one and destroys and replaces the latter only when the renegotiation is
complete. While conceptually clear, this means that during the renegotiation,
large pieces of information such as the peer's CRT or the session ticket
exist twice in memory, even though the original versions are removed
eventually.
This commit removes the simultaneous presence of two peer CRT chains
in memory during renegotiation, in the following way:
- Unlike in the case of SessionTickets handled in the previous commit,
we cannot simply free the peer's CRT chain from the previous handshake
before parsing the new one, as we need to verify that the peer's end-CRT
hasn't changed to mitigate the 'Triple Handshake Attack'.
- Instead, we perform a binary comparison of the original peer end-CRT
with the one presented during renegotiation, and if it succeeds, we
avoid re-parsing CRT by moving the corresponding CRT pointer from the
old to the new session structure.
- The remaining CRTs in the peer's chain are not affected by the triple
handshake attack protection, and for them we may employ the canonical
approach of freeing them before parsing the remainder of the new chain.
Note that this commit intends to not change any observable behavior
of the stack. In particular:
- The peer's CRT chain is still verified during renegotiation.
- The tail of the peer's CRT chain may change during renegotiation.
Additional changes to temporarily enable running tests:
ssl_srv.c and test_suite_ecdh use mbedtls_ecp_group_load instead of
mbedtls_ecdh_setup
test_suite_ctr_drbg uses mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update instead of
mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret
The SSL module accesses ECDH context members directly. This can't work
with the new context, where we can't make any assumption about the
implementation of the context.
This commit makes use of the new functions to avoid accessing ECDH
members directly. The only members that are still accessed directly are
the group ID and the point format and they are independent from the
implementation.
Reasons:
- For the first release, we attempt to support TLS-1.2 only,
- At least TLS-1.0 is known to not work at the moment, as
for CBC ciphersuites the code in mbedtls_ssl_decrypt_buf()
and mbedtls_ssl_encrypt_buf() assumes that mbedtls_cipher_crypt()
updates the structure field for the IV in the cipher context,
which the PSA-based implementation currently doesn't.
This commit changes the code path in mbedtls_ssl_derive_keys()
responsible for setting up record protection cipher contexts
to attempt to use the new API mbedtls_cipher_setup_psa() in
case MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is set.
For that, the AEAD tag length must be provided, which is already
computed earlier in mbedtls_ssl_derive_keys() and only needs to be
stored a function scope to be available for mbedtls_cipher_setup_psa().
If mbedtls_cipher_setup_psa() fails cleanly indicating that the
requested cipher is not supported in PSA, we fall through to
the default setup using mbedtls_cipher_setup(). However, we print
a debug message in this case, to allow catching the fallthrough in
tests where we know we're using a cipher which should be supported
by PSA.
The code maintains the invariant that raw and opaque PSKs are never
configured simultaneously, so strictly speaking `ssl_conf_remove_psk()`
need not consider clearing the raw PSK if it has already cleared an
opaque one - and previously, it didn't. However, it doesn't come at
any cost to keep this check as a safe-guard to future unforeseen
situations where opaque and raw PSKs _are_ both present.
In multiple places, it occurrs as the fixed length of
the master secret, so use a constant with a descriptive
name instead. This is reinforced by the fact the some
further occurrences of '48' are semantically different.
ssl_write_handshake_msg() includes the assertion that
`ssl->handshake != NULL` when handling a record which is
(a) a handshake message, and NOT
(b) a HelloRequest.
However, it later calls `ssl_append_flight()` for any
record different from a HelloRequest handshake record,
that is, records satisfying !(a) || !(b), instead of
(a) && !(b) as covered by the assertion (specifically,
CCS or Alert records).
Since `ssl_append_flight()` assumes that `ssl->handshake != NULL`,
this rightfully triggers static analyzer warnings.
This commit expands the scope of the assertion to check
that `ssl->handshake != NULL` for any record which is not
a HelloRequest.
This commit changes the behavior of the record decryption routine
`ssl_decrypt_buf()` in the following situation:
1. A CBC ciphersuite with Encrypt-then-MAC is used.
2. A record with valid MAC but invalid CBC padding is received.
In this situation, the previous code would not raise and error but
instead forward the decrypted packet, including the wrong padding,
to the user.
This commit changes this behavior to return the error
MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_INVALID_MAC instead.
While erroneous, the previous behavior does not constitute a
security flaw since it can only happen for properly authenticated
records, that is, if the peer makes a mistake while preparing the
padded plaintext.
This commit ensures that buffers holding fragmented or
future handshake messages get zeroized before they are
freed when the respective handshake message is no longer
needed. Previously, the handshake message content would
leak on the heap.
