This commit ensures that buffers holding fragmented or
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.
This commit replaces multiple `memset()` calls in the example
programs aes/aescrypt2.c and aes/crypt_and_hash.c by calls to
the reliable zeroization function `mbedtls_zeroize()`.
While not a security issue because the code is in the example
programs, it's bad practice and should be fixed.
The code assumed that `int x = - (unsigned) u` with 0 <= u < INT_MAX
sets `x` to the negative of u, but actually this calculates
(UINT_MAX - u) and then converts this value to int, which overflows.
Cast to int before applying the unary minus operator to guarantee the
desired behavior.
The code was making two unsequenced reads from volatile locations.
This is undefined behavior. It was probably harmless because we didn't
care in what order the reads happened and the reads were from ordinary
memory, but UB is UB and IAR8 complained.
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.
Primality tests have to deal with different distribution when generating
primes and when validating primes.
These new tests are testing if mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() is working
properly in the latter setting.
The new tests involve pseudoprimes with maximum number of
non-witnesses. The non-witnesses were generated by printing them
from mpi_miller_rabin(). The pseudoprimes were generated by the
following function:
void gen_monier( mbedtls_mpi* res, int nbits )
{
mbedtls_mpi p_2x_plus_1, p_4x_plus_1, x, tmp;
mbedtls_mpi_init( &p_2x_plus_1 );
mbedtls_mpi_init( &p_4x_plus_1 );
mbedtls_mpi_init( &x ); mbedtls_mpi_init( &tmp );
do
{
mbedtls_mpi_gen_prime( &p_2x_plus_1, nbits >> 1, 0,
rnd_std_rand, NULL );
mbedtls_mpi_sub_int( &x, &p_2x_plus_1, 1 );
mbedtls_mpi_div_int( &x, &tmp, &x, 2 );
if( mbedtls_mpi_get_bit( &x, 0 ) == 0 )
continue;
mbedtls_mpi_mul_int( &p_4x_plus_1, &x, 4 );
mbedtls_mpi_add_int( &p_4x_plus_1, &p_4x_plus_1, 1 );
if( mbedtls_mpi_is_prime( &p_4x_plus_1, rnd_std_rand,
NULL ) == 0 )
break;
} while( 1 );
mbedtls_mpi_mul_mpi( res, &p_2x_plus_1, &p_4x_plus_1 );
}
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 removes the definition of the API function
`mbedtls_platform_set_calloc_free()`
from `library/platform.c` in case the macros
`MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_CALLOC_MACRO`
`MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_FREE_MACRO`
for compile time configuration of calloc/free are set.
This is in line with the corresponding header `mbedtls/platform.h`
which declares `mbedtls_platform_set_calloc_free()` only if
`MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_{CALLOC/FREE}_MACRO` are not defined.
Fixes#1642.
This commit adds a test to tests/scripts/all.sh exercising an
ASan build of the default configuration with
MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_MEMORY enabled,
MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_CALLOC_MACRO set to std calloc
MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_FREE_MACRO set to std free
(This should functionally be indistinguishable from a default build)
The previous code triggered a compiler warning because of a comparison
of a signed and an unsigned integer.
The conversion is safe because `len` is representable by 16-bits,
hence smaller than the maximum integer.
If `MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C` is configured and Mbed TLS'
custom buffer allocator is used for calloc() and free(), the
read buffer used by the server example application is allocated
from the buffer allocator, but freed after the buffer allocator
has been destroyed. If memory backtracing is enabled, this leaves
a memory leak in the backtracing structure allocated for the buffer,
as found by valgrind.
Fixes#2069.
In the previous bounds check `(*p) > end - len`, the computation
of `end - len` might underflow if `end` is within the first 64KB
of the address space (note that the length `len` is controlled by
the peer). In this case, the bounds check will be bypassed, leading
to `*p` exceed the message bounds by up to 64KB when leaving
`ssl_parse_server_psk_hint()`. In a pure PSK-based handshake,
this doesn't seem to have any consequences, as `*p*` is not accessed
afterwards. In a PSK-(EC)DHE handshake, however, `*p` is read from
in `ssl_parse_server_ecdh_params()` and `ssl_parse_server_dh_params()`
which might lead to an application crash of information leakage.
Functional tests for various payload sizes and output buffer sizes.
When the padding is bad or the plaintext is too large for the output
buffer, verify that function writes some outputs. This doesn't
validate that the implementation is time-constant, but it at least
validates that it doesn't just return early without outputting anything.
Get rid of the variable p. This makes it more apparent where the code
accesses the buffer at an offset whose value is sensitive.
No intended behavior change in this commit.
Rather than doing the quadratic-time constant-memory-trace on the
whole working buffer, do it on the section of the buffer where the
data to copy has to lie, which can be significantly smaller if the
output buffer is significantly smaller than the working buffer, e.g.
for TLS RSA ciphersuites (48 bytes vs MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE).
In mbedtls_rsa_rsaes_pkcs1_v15_decrypt, use size_greater_than (which
is based on bitwise operations) instead of the < operator to compare
sizes when the values being compared must not leak. Some compilers
compile < to a branch at least under some circumstances (observed with
gcc 5.4 for arm-gnueabi -O9 on a toy program).
Replace memmove(to, to + offset, length) by a functionally equivalent
function that strives to make the same memory access patterns
regardless of the value of length. This fixes an information leak
through timing (especially timing of memory accesses via cache probes)
that leads to a Bleichenbacher-style attack on PKCS#1 v1.5 decryption
using the plaintext length as the observable.
mbedtls_rsa_rsaes_pkcs1_v15_decrypt takes care not to reveal whether
the padding is valid or not, even through timing or memory access
patterns. This is a defense against an attack published by
Bleichenbacher. The attacker can also obtain the same information by
observing the length of the plaintext. The current implementation
leaks the length of the plaintext through timing and memory access
patterns.
This commit is a first step towards fixing this leak. It reduces the
leak to a single memmove call inside the working buffer.
Make the function more robust by taking an arbitrary zero/nonzero
argument instead of insisting on zero/all-bits-one. Update and fix its
documentation.
mbedtls_rsa_rsaes_pkcs1_v15_decrypt took care of calculating the
padding length without leaking the amount of padding or the validity
of the padding. However it then skipped the copying of the data if the
padding was invalid, which could allow an adversary to find out
whether the padding was valid through precise timing measurements,
especially if for a local attacker who could observe memory access via
cache timings.
Avoid this leak by always copying from the decryption buffer to the
output buffer, even when the padding is invalid. With invalid padding,
copy the same amount of data as what is expected on valid padding: the
minimum valid padding size if this fits in the output buffer,
otherwise the output buffer size. To avoid leaking payload data from
an unsuccessful decryption, zero the decryption buffer before copying
if the padding was invalid.
* The variables `csr` and `issuer_crt` are initialized but not freed.
* The variable `entropy` is unconditionally freed in the cleanup section
but there's a conditional jump to that section before its initialization.
This cmmot Moves it to the other initializations happening before the
first conditional jump to the cleanup section.
Fixes#1422.
Exclude ".git" directories anywhere. This avoids spurious errors in git
checkouts that contain branch names that look like a file
check-files.py would check. Fix#1713
Exclude "mbed-os" anywhere and "examples" from the root. Switch to the
new mechanism to exclude "yotta/module". These are directories where
we store third-party files that do not need to match our preferences.
Exclude "cov-int" from the root. Fix#1691
Generate the documentation from include and doxygen/input only. Don't
get snared by files containing Doxygen comments that lie in other
directories such as tests, yotta, crypto/include, ...
The only difference this makes in a fresh checkout is that the
documentation no longer lists target_config.h. This file is from
yotta, does not contain any Doxygen comment, and its inclusion in the
rendered documentation was clearly an oversight.
Changes the IP address to bind to for dtls_server.c to be "::" or optionally
"0.0.0.0" if the preprocessor symbol FORCE_IPV4 is defined.
Also changes the destinaton IP address for dtls_client.c to be "::1" or if
FORCE_IPV4 symbol is defined "127.0.0.1".
This change allows on compilation dtls_server.c and dtls_client.c to both be
compiled to use either IPv4 or IPv6 so out of the box they will work together
without problem, and to avoid dtls_server.c binding to IPv6 and dtls_client.c
binding to IPv4.
This re-introduces the apidoc with full config.h, but hopefully with the race
conditions and other issues that the previous implementation had.
Adapt doxygen test script to use that new script, and also check for errors
in addition to warnings while at it.
