The definition of SSL_MAC_ADD depends on the presence of the
configuration option POLARSSL_ARC4_C, which was misspelled as
POLARSSL_RC4_C in ssl.h, leading to a too small buffer and
subsequently to a buffer overflow during record processing.
This commit fixes the typo.
(1) Add missing error condition
(2) Specify allowance and effect of of NULL hostname parameter
(3) Describe effect of function on failure
Also, adapt ChangeLog.
The previous version of `ssl_safer_memcmp` did not qualify the
pointers to the arrays to be compared as volatile, theoretically
opening the possibility for the compiler to notice that the loop
operation `diff |= A[i] ^ B[i]` is pointless if `diff = -1`. This
commit changes this. It also declares the stack variable `diff` as
volatile, to force read and write in every loop; omitting that, the
compiler would still be allowed to get away with reading `A[i]` and
`B[i]` but not doing the XOR and not updating `diff`.
There are situations in which it is not clear what message to expect
next. For example, the message following the ServerHello might be
either a Certificate, a ServerKeyExchange or a CertificateRequest. We
deal with this situation in the following way: Initially, the message
processing function for one of the allowed message types is called,
which fetches and decodes a new message. If that message is not the
expected one, the function returns successfully (instead of throwing
an error as usual for unexpected messages), and the handshake
continues to the processing function for the next possible message. To
not have this function fetch a new message, a flag in the SSL context
structure is used to indicate that the last message was retained for
further processing, and if that's set, the following processing
function will not fetch a new record.
This commit simplifies the usage of this message-retaining parameter
by doing the check within the record-fetching routine instead of the
specific message-processing routines. The code gets cleaner this way
and allows retaining messages to be used in other situations as well
without much effort. This will be used in the next commits.
This commit changes `ssl_parse_signature_algorithms_ext` to remember
one suitable ( := supported by client and by our config ) hash
algorithm per signature algorithm.
It also modifies the ciphersuite checking function
`ssl_ciphersuite_match` to refuse a suite if there
is no suitable hash algorithm.
Finally, it adds the corresponding entry to the ChangeLog.
* mbedtls-1.3:
Fix spurious #endif from previous cherry-pick
Fix macroization of inline in C++
Add missing warning in doc
Fix compile error in net.c with musl libc
Rationale: if people want to disable RC4 but otherwise keep the default suite
list, it was cumbersome. Also, since it uses a global array,
ssl_list_ciphersuite() is not a convenient place. So the SSL modules look like
the best place, even if it means temporarily adding one SSL setting.
Reading the documentation of ssl_set_truncated_hmac() may give the impression
I changed the default for clients but I didn't, the old documentation was
wrong.
