Explain how MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_LEN is set next to the security
strength statement, rather than giving a partial explanation (current
setting only) in the documentation of MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_LEN.
NIST and many other sources call it a "personalization string", and
certainly not "device-specific identifiers" which is actually somewhat
misleading since this is just one of many things that might go into a
personalization string.
Improve the formatting and writing of the documentation based on what
had been done for CTR_DRBG.
Document the maximum size and nullability of some buffer parameters.
Exercise the library functions with calloc returning NULL for a size
of 0. Make this a separate job with UBSan (and ASan) to detect
places where we try to dereference the result of calloc(0) or to do
things like
buf = calloc(size, 1);
if (buf == NULL && size != 0) return INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY;
memcpy(buf, source, size);
which has undefined behavior when buf is NULL at the memcpy call even
if size is 0.
This is needed because other test components jobs either use the system
malloc which returns non-NULL on Linux and FreeBSD, or the
memory_buffer_alloc malloc which returns NULL but does not give as
useful feedback with ASan (because the whole heap is a single C
object).
Add a very basic test of calloc to the selftest program. The selftest
program acts in its capacity as a platform compatibility checker rather
than in its capacity as a test of the library.
The main objective is to report whether calloc returns NULL for a size
of 0. Also observe whether a free/alloc sequence returns the address
that was just freed and whether a size overflow is properly detected.
This is a documentation-only change, but one that users who care about
NIST compliance may be interested in, to review if they're using the
module in a compliant way.
Document that a derivation function is used.
Document the security strength of the DRBG depending on the
compile-time configuration and how it is set up. In particular,
document how the nonce specified in SP 800-90A is set.
Mention how to link the ctr_drbg module with the entropy module.
The uint32 is given as a bigendian stream, in the tests, however,
the char buffer that collected the stream read it as is,
without converting it. Add a temporary buffer, to call `greentea_getc()`
8 times, and then put it in the correct endianity for input to `unhexify()`.
Reduce the stack usage of the `test_suite_pkcs1_v21` by reducing the
size of the buffers used in the tests, to a reasonable big enough size,
and change the size sent to the API to sizeof output.
Reduce the stack usage of the `test_suite_rsa` by reducing the
size of the buffers used in the tests, to a reasonable big enough size,
and change the data size to decrypt in the data file.
* State explicit whether several numbers are in bits or bytes.
* Clarify whether buffer pointer parameters can be NULL.
* Explain the value of constants that are dependent on the configuration.
* origin/pr/2826:
Enable MBEDTLS_MEMORY_DEBUG in memory buffer alloc test in all.sh
Remove unnecessary memory buffer alloc and memory backtrace unsets
Disable DTLS proxy tests for MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC test
all.sh: restructure memory allocator tests
Add missing dependency in memory buffer alloc set in all.sh
Don't set MBEDTLS_MEMORY_DEBUG through `scripts/config.pl full`
Add cfg dep MBEDTLS_MEMORY_DEBUG->MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C
Add all.sh run with full config and ASan enabled
Add all.sh run with MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C enabled
Update documentation of exceptions for `config.pl full`
Adapt all.sh to removal of buffer allocator from full config
Disable memory buffer allocator in full config
Check dependencies of MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BACKTRACE in check_config.h
With the removal of MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C from the
full config, there are no tests for it remaining in all.sh.
This commit adds a build as well as runs of `make test` and
`ssl-opt.sh` with MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C enabled to all.sh.
Previously, numerous all.sh tests manually disabled the buffer allocator
or memory backtracting after setting a full config as the starting point.
With the removal of MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BACKTRACE and MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C
from full configs, this is no longer necessary.
