In many places in TLS handling, some code detects a fatal error, sends
a fatal alert message, and returns to the caller. If sending the alert
fails, then return the error that triggered the alert, rather than
overriding the return status. This effectively causes alert sending
failures to be ignored. Formerly the code was inconsistently sometimes
doing one, sometimes the other.
In general ignoring the alert is the right thing: what matters to the
caller is the original error. A typical alert failure is that the
connection is already closed.
One case which remains not handled correctly is if the alert remains
in the output buffer (WANT_WRITE). Then it won't be sent, or will be
truncated. We'd need to either delay the application error or record
the write buffering notice; to be done later.
When provided with an empty line, mpi_read_file causes a numeric
underflow resulting in a stack underflow. This commit fixes this and
adds some documentation to mpi_read_file.
The modular inversion function hangs when provided with the modulus 1. This commit refuses this modulus with a BAD_INPUT error code. It also adds a test for this case.
The TLS client and server code was usually closing the connection in
case of a fatal error without sending an alert. This commit adds
alerts in many cases.
Added one test case to detect that we send the alert, where a server
complains that the client's certificate is from an unknown CA (case
tracked internally as IOTSSL-1330).
Added command line arguments --port and --proxy-port to choose the
ports explicitly instead of deriving them from the PID. This
facilitates debugging e.g. with Wireshark.
In the ecdsa.c sample application we don't use hashing, we use ecdsa
directly on a buffer containing plain text. Although the text explains
that it should be the message hash it still can be confusing.
Any misunderstandings here are potentially very dangerous, because ECDSA
truncates the message hash if necessary and this can lead to trivial
signature forgeries if the API is misused and the message is passed
directly to the function without hashing.
This commit adds a hash computation step to the ecdsa.c sample
application and clarification to the doxygen documentation of the
ECDSA functions involved.
Fix a buffer overflow when writting a string representation of an MPI
number to a buffer in hexadecimal. The problem occurs because hex
digits are written in pairs and this is not accounted for in the
calculation of the required buffer size when the number of digits is
odd.
The first three test cases from test_suites_pkparse.data failed because
the key file they read requires DES to be read. However, MBEDTLS_DES_C
was missing from the dependency list.

When using ssl_cookie with MBEDTLS_THREADING_C, fix a resource leak caused by
initiating a mutex in mbedtls_ssl_cookie_free instead of freeing it.
Raised and fix suggested by lan Gillingham in the mbed TLS forum
Tracked in #771

The sample application programs/ssl/ssl_server2.c was previously
modifies to use inttypes.h to parse a string to a 64-bit integer.
However, MSVC does not support C99, so compilation fails. This
patch modifies the sample app to use the MSVC specific parsing
functions instead of inttypes.h.
Adds interim directories to the Visual Studio project files to avoid warning
MSB8028 in Visual Studio 2015, where shared directories of intermediate files
between project files generate the warning.

The function ecp_mod_koblitz computed the space for the result of a
multiplication optimally for that specific case, but unfortunately
the function mbedtls_mpi_mul_mpi performs a generic, suboptimal
calculation and needs one more limb for the result. Since the result's
buffer is on the stack, the best case scenario is that the program
stops.
This only happened on 64 bit platforms.
Fixes#569
This curve has special arithmetic on 64 bit platforms and an untested
path lead to trying to free a buffer on the stack.
For the sake of completeness, a test case for a point with non-affine
coordinates has been added as well.
A heap overread might happen when parsing malformed certificates.
Reported by Peng Li and Yueh-Hsun Lin.
Refactoring the parsing fixes the problem. This commit applies the
relevant part of the OpenVPN contribution applied to mbed TLS 1.3
in commit 17da9dd829.
Modifies the main mbed TLS README.md to include some porting information. The
new information simply refers the users to existing knowledge base articles that
contain relevant information.
