When reading the input, the buffer will be initialised with random data
and the reading will start from a random offset. When writing the data,
the output will be initialised with random data and the writing will
start from a random offset.
The flag is used for tracking if the premaster has
been succesfully generated. Note that when resuming
a session, the flag should not be used when trying to
notice if all the key generation/derivation has been done.
Default flow assumes failure causes multiple issues with
compatibility tests when the return value is initialised
with error value in ssl_in_server_key_exchange_parse.
The function would need a significant change in structure for this.
The verification could be skipped in server, changed the default flow
so that the handshake status is ever updated if the verify
succeeds, and that is checked twice.
The MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_READ and MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_WRITE are
errors that can be ignored, so increase the hamming distance between
them and the non-ignorable errors and keep still some distance from
a success case. This mitigates an attack where single bit-flipping could
change a non-ignorable error to being an ignorable one.
Check that the encryption has been done for the outbut buffer.
This is to ensure that glitching out the encryption doesn't
result as a unecrypted buffer to be sent.
This is to enable hardening the security when changing
states in state machine so that the state cannot be changed by bit flipping.
The later commit changes the enumerations so that the states have large
hamming distance in between them to prevent this kind of attack.
Duplicating the g_rng_function variable in ecc_dsa.c means it's not the same
as set in ecc.c, resulting if no randomisation here. The proper way to access
the RNG function from outside ecc.c is uECC_get_rng(), so use that.
This is a side-port of upstream commit
87d74dd8d64a99aaa188961fe763d0841c5abfef
I've verified that there are no other occurrences (the duplication of
g_rng_function in ecc_dh.c had already been removed earlier when centralising
projective coordinate randomisation to mult_safer()).
Found by the IAR compiler.
While at it, make 'diff' non-volatile in uECC_check_curve_integrity(), as
there is no good reason to make it volatile, and making it volatile only
increases the code size and the burden of defining access ordering.
