The SSL context maintains a set of 'out pointers' indicating the
address at which to write the header fields of the next outgoing
record. Some of these addresses have a static offset from the
beginning of the record header, while other offsets can vary
depending on the active record encryption mechanism: For example,
if an explicit IV is in use, there's an offset between the end
of the record header and the beginning of the encrypted data to
allow the explicit IV to be placed in between; also, if the DTLS
Connection ID (CID) feature is in use, the CID is part of the
record header, shifting all subsequent information (length, IV, data)
to the back.
When setting up an SSL context, the out pointers are initialized
according to the identity transform + no CID, and it is important
to keep them up to date whenever the record encryption mechanism
changes, which is done by the helper function ssl_update_out_pointers().
During context deserialization, updating the out pointers according
to the deserialized record transform went missing, leaving the out
pointers the initial state. When attemping to encrypt a record in
this state, this lead to failure if either a CID or an explicit IV
was in use. This wasn't caught in the tests by the bad luck that
they didn't use CID, _and_ used the default ciphersuite based on
ChaChaPoly, which doesn't have an explicit IV. Changing either of
this would have made the existing tests fail.
This commit fixes the bug by adding a call to ssl_update_out_pointers()
to ssl_context_load() implementing context deserialization.
Extending test coverage is left for a separate commit.

Bring Mbed TLS 2.18.0 and 2.18.1 release changes back into the
development branch. We had branched to release 2.18.0 and 2.18.1 in
order to allow those releases to go out without having to block work on
the `development` branch.
Manually resolve conflicts in the Changelog by moving all freshly addded
changes to a new, unreleased version entry.
Reject changes to include/mbedtls/platform.h made in the mbedtls-2.18
branch, as that file is now sourced from Mbed Crypto.

Breaking into a series of statements makes things easier when stepping through
the code in a debugger.
Previous comments we stating the opposite or what the code tested for (what we
want vs what we're erroring out on) which was confusing.
Also expand a bit on the reasons for these restrictions.
Modelled after the config-checking header from session s11n.
The list of relevant config flags was established by manually checking the
fields serialized in the format, and which config.h flags they depend on.
This probably deserves double-checking by reviewers.
Since the type of cid_len is unsigned but shorter than int, it gets
"promoted" to int (which is also the type of the result), unless we make the
other operand an unsigned int which then forces the expression to unsigned int
as well.
The number of meaning of the flags will be determined later, when handling the
relevant struct members. For now three bytes are reserved as an example, but
this number may change later.
This mainly follows the design document (saving all fields marked "saved" in
the main structure and the transform sub-structure) with two exceptions:
- things related to renegotiation are excluded here (there weren't quite in
the design document as the possibility of allowing renegotiation was still
on the table, which is no longer is) - also, ssl.secure_renegotiation (which
is not guarded by MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION because it's used in initial
handshakes even with renegotiation disabled) is still excluded, as we don't
need it after the handshake.
- things related to Connection ID are added, as they weren't present at the
time the design document was written.
The exact format of the header (value of the bitflag indicating compile-time
options, whether and how to merge it with the serialized session header) will
be determined later.
Enforce restrictions indicated in the documentation.
This allows to make some simplifying assumptions (no need to worry about
saving IVs for CBC in TLS < 1.1, nor about saving handshake data) and
guarantees that all values marked as "forced" in the design document have the
intended values and can be skipped when serialising.
Some of the "forced" values are not checked because their value is a
consequence of other checks (for example, session_negotiated == NULL outside
handshakes). We do however check that session and transform are not NULL (even
if that's also a consequence of the initial handshake being over) as we're
going to dereference them and static analyzers may appreciate the info.
This is enabled by default as we generally enable things by default unless
there's a reason not to (experimental, deprecated, security risk).
We need a compile-time option because, even though the functions themselves
can be easily garbage-collected by the linker, implementing them will require
saving 64 bytes of Client/ServerHello.random values after the handshake, that
would otherwise not be needed, and people who don't need this feature
shouldn't have to pay the price of increased RAM usage.
This commit introduces a new SSL error code
`MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_VERSION_MISMATCH`
which can be used to indicate operation failure due to a
mismatch of version or configuration.
It is put to use in the implementation of `mbedtls_ssl_session_load()`
to signal the attempt to de-serialize a session which has been serialized
in a build of Mbed TLS using a different version or configuration.
This commit makes use of the added space in the session header to
encode the state of those parts of the compile-time configuration
which influence the structure of the serialized session in the
present version of Mbed TLS. Specifically, these are
- the options which influence the presence/omission of fields
from mbedtls_ssl_session (which is currently shallow-copied
into the serialized session)
- the setting of MBEDTLS_X509_CRT_PARSE_C, which determines whether
the serialized session contains a CRT-length + CRT-value pair after
the shallow-copied mbedtls_ssl_session instance.
- the setting of MBEDTLS_SSL_SESSION_TICKETS, which determines whether
the serialized session contains a session ticket.
This commit adds space for two bytes in the header of serizlied
SSL sessions which can be used to determine the structure of the
remaining serialized session in the respective version of Mbed TLS.
Specifically, if parts of the session depend on whether specific
compile-time options are set or not, the setting of these options
can be encoded in the added space.
This commit doesn't yet make use of the fields.
The format of serialized SSL sessions depends on the version and the
configuration of Mbed TLS; attempts to restore sessions established
in different versions and/or configurations lead to undefined behaviour.
This commit adds an 3-byte version header to the serialized session
generated and cleanly fails ticket parsing in case a session from a
non-matching version of Mbed TLS is presented.
This bug was present since cert digest had been introduced, which highlights
the need for testing.
While at it, fix a bug in the comment explaining the format - this was
introduced by me copy-pasting to hastily from current baremetal, that has a
different format (see next PR in the series for the same in development).
We have explicit recommendations to use US spelling for technical writing, so
let's apply this to code as well for uniformity. (My fingers tend to prefer UK
spelling, so this needs to be fixed in many places.)
sed -i 's/\([Ss]eriali\)s/\1z/g' **/*.[ch] **/*.function **/*.data ChangeLog
This uncovered a bug that led to a double-free (in practice, in general could
be free() on any invalid value): initially the session structure is loaded
with `memcpy()` which copies the previous values of pointers peer_cert and
ticket to heap-allocated buffers (or any other value if the input is
attacker-controlled). Now if we exit before we got a chance to replace those
invalid values with valid ones (for example because the input buffer is too
small, or because the second malloc() failed), then the next call to
session_free() is going to call free() on invalid pointers.
This bug is fixed in this commit by always setting the pointers to NULL right
after they've been read from the serialised state, so that the invalid values
can never be used.
(An alternative would be to NULL-ify them when writing, which was rejected
mostly because we need to do it when reading anyway (as the consequences of
free(invalid) are too severe to take any risk), so doing it when writing as
well is redundant and a waste of code size.)
Also, while thinking about what happens in case of errors, it became apparent
to me that it was bad practice to leave the session structure in an
half-initialised state and rely on the caller to call session_free(), so this
commit also ensures we always clear the structure when loading failed.
This allows callers to discover what an appropriate size is. Otherwise they'd
have to either try repeatedly, or allocate an overly large buffer (or some
combination of those).
Adapt documentation an example usage in ssl_client2.
Avoid useless copy with mbedtls_ssl_get_session() before serialising.
Used in ssl_client2 for testing and demonstrating usage, but unfortunately
that means mbedtls_ssl_get_session() is no longer tested, which will be fixed
in the next commit.
On client side, this is required for the main use case where of serialising a
session for later resumption, in case tickets are used.
On server side, this doesn't change much as ticket_len will always be 0.
This unblocks testing the functions by using them in ssl_client2, which will
be done in the next commit.
