`mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::extended_ms` holds the state of the
ExtendedMasterSecret extension in the current handshake. Initially
set to 'disabled' for both client and server,
- the client sets it to 'enabled' as soon as it finds the ExtendedMS
extension in the `ServerHello` and it has advertised that extension
in its ClientHello,
- the server sets it to 'enabled' as soon as it finds the ExtendedMS
extension in the `ClientHello` and is willing to advertise is in its
`ServerHello`.
This commit slightly restructures this logic in prepraration for the
removal of `mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::extended_ms` in case both
the use and the enforcement of the ExtendedMasterSecret extension have
been fixed at compile-time. Namely, in this case there is no need for
the `extended_ms` field in the handshake structure, as the ExtendedMS
must be in use if the handshake progresses beyond the Hello stage.
Paving the way for the removal of mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::extended_ms
this commit introduces a temporary variable tracking the presence of the
ExtendedMS extension in the ClientHello/ServerHello messages, leaving
the derivation of `extended_ms` (and potential failure) to the end of
the parsing routine.
This commit is the first in a series demonstrating how code-size
can be reduced by hardcoding parts of the SSL configuration at
compile-time, focusing on the example of the configuration of
the ExtendedMasterSecret extension.
The flexibility of an SSL configuration defined a runtime vs.
compile-time is necessary for the use of Mbed TLS as a
dynamically linked library, but is undesirable in constrained
environments because it introduces the following overhead:
- Definition of SSL configuration API (code-size overhead)
(and on the application-side: The API needs to be called)
- Additional fields in the SSL configuration (RAM overhead,
and potentially code-size overhead if structures grow
beyond immediate-offset bounds).
- Dereferencing is needed to obtain configuration settings.
- Code contains branches and potentially additional structure
fields to distinguish between different configurations.
Considering the example of the ExtendedMasterSecret extension,
this instantiates as follows:
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_extended_master_secret() and
mbedtls_ssl_conf_extended_master_secret_enforced()
are introduced to configure the ExtendedMasterSecret extension.
- mbedtls_ssl_config contains bitflags `extended_ms` and
`enforce_extended_master_secret` reflecting the runtime
configuration of the ExtendedMasterSecret extension.
- Whenever we need to access these fields, we need a chain
of dereferences `ssl->conf->extended_ms`.
- Determining whether Client/Server should write the
ExtendedMasterSecret extension needs a branch
depending on `extended_ms`, and the state of the
ExtendedMasterSecret negotiation needs to be stored in a new
handshake-local variable mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::extended_ms.
Finally (that's the point of ExtendedMasterSecret) key derivation
depends on this handshake-local state of ExtendedMasterSecret.
All this is unnecessary if it is known at compile-time that the
ExtendedMasterSecret extension is used and enforced:
- No API calls are necessary because the configuration is fixed
at compile-time.
- No SSL config fields are necessary because there are corresponding
compile-time constants instead.
- Accordingly, no dereferences for field accesses are necessary,
and these accesses can instead be replaced by the corresponding
compile-time constants.
- Branches can be eliminated at compile-time because the compiler
knows the configuration. Also, specifically for the ExtendedMasterSecret
extension, the field `extended_ms` in the handshake structure
is unnecessary, because we can fail immediately during the Hello-
stage of the handshake if the ExtendedMasterSecret extension
is not negotiated; accordingly, the non-ExtendedMS code-path
can be eliminated from the key derivation logic.
A way needs to be found to allow fixing parts of the SSL configuration
at compile-time which removes this overhead in case it is used,
while at the same time maintaining readability and backwards
compatibility.
This commit proposes the following approach:
From the user perspective, for aspect of the SSL configuration
mbedtls_ssl_config that should be configurable at compile-time,
introduce a compile-time option MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_FIELD_NAME.
If this option is not defined, the field is kept and configurable
at runtime as usual. If the option is defined, the field is logically
forced to the value of the option at compile time.
Internally, read-access to fields in the SSL configuration which are
configurable at compile-time gets replaced by new `static inline` getter
functions which evaluate to the corresponding field access or to the
constant MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_FIELD_NAME, depending on whether the latter
is defined or not.
Write-access to fields which are configurable at compile-time needs
to be removed: Specifically, the corresponding API itself either
needs to be removed or replaced by a stub function without effect.
This commit takes the latter approach, which has the benefit of
not requiring any change on the example applications, but introducing
the risk of mismatching API calls and compile-time configuration,
in case a user doesn't correctly keep track of which parts of the
configuration have been fixed at compile-time, and which haven't.
Write-access for the purpose of setting defaults is simply omitted.
If `MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE` is not set, `mbedtls_ssl_session`
contains the digest of the peer's certificate for the sole purpose of
detecting a CRT change on renegotiation. Hence, it is not needed if
renegotiation is disabled.
This commit removes the `peer_cert_digest` fields (and friends) from
`mbedtls_ssl_session` if
`!MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE + !MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION`,
which is a sensible configuration for constrained devices.
Apart from straightforward replacements of
`if !defined(MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE)`
by
`if !defined(MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE) && \
defined(MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION)`,
there's one notable change: On the server-side, the CertificateVerify
parsing function is a no-op if the client hasn't sent a certificate.
So far, this was determined by either looking at the peer CRT or the
peer CRT digest in the SSL session structure (depending on the setting
of `MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE`), which now no longer works if
`MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE` is unset. Instead, this function
now checks whether the temporary copy of the peer's public key within
the handshake structure is initialized or not (which is also a
beneficial simplification in its own right, because the pubkey is
all the function needs anyway).
We must dispatch between the peer's public key stored as part of
the peer's CRT in the current session structure (situation until
now, and future behaviour if MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE is
enabled), and the sole public key stored in the handshake structure
(new, if MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE is disabled).

mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate() will fail if a ciphersuite requires
a certificate, but none is provided. While it is sensible to double-
check this, failure should be reported as an internal error and not
as an unexpected message.
This commit simplifies the client-side code for outgoing CertificateVerify
messages, and server-side code for outgoing CertificateRequest messages and
incoming CertificateVerify messages, through the use of the macro
`MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE__CERT_REQ_ALLOWED__ENABLED`
indicating whether a ciphersuite allowing CertificateRequest messages
is enabled in the configuration, as well as the helper function
`mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_cert_req_allowed()`
indicating whether a particular ciphersuite allows CertificateRequest
messages.
These were already used in the client-side code to simplify the
parsing functions for CertificateRequest messages.
This commit handles occurrences of case 2 and 3 in the following list:
1. Some DTLS-specific code with no TLS-specific code (most frequent)
2. Some specific code for each protocol
3. Some TLS-specific code with no DTLS-specific code (least frequent)
Case 3 previously had a weird structure in that the TLS-specific code was
always present, but the if structure was conditional on DTLS being enabled.
This is changed by this commit to a more logical structure where both the code
and the test are conditional on TLS being enabled.
Case 2 doesn't require any change in the code structure in general. However,
there is one occurrence where the if/else structure is simplified to assigning
the result of a boolean operation, and one occurrence where I also noticed a
useless use of `ssl_ep_len()` in a TLS-specific branch, that I turned to the
constant 0 as it makes more sense.
Case 1 will be handled in the next commit, as it can easily be handled in an
automated way - only cases 2 and 3 (sometimes) required manual intervention.
The list of occurrences for cases 2 and 3 was established manually by looking
for occurrences of '= MBEDTLS_SSL_TRANSPORT_' in the code and manually
checking if there was a TLS-specific branch.

Context: During a handshake, the SSL/TLS handshake logic constructs
an instance of ::mbedtls_ssl_session representing the SSL session
being established. This structure contains information such as the
session's master secret, the peer certificate, or the session ticket
issues by the server (if applicable).
During a renegotiation, the new session is constructed aside the existing
one and destroys and replaces the latter only when the renegotiation is
complete. While conceptually clear, this means that during the renegotiation,
large pieces of information such as the peer's CRT or the session ticket
exist twice in memory, even though the original versions are removed
eventually.
This commit starts removing this memory inefficiency by freeing the old
session's SessionTicket before the one for the new session is allocated.
The SSL context structure mbedtls_ssl_context contains several pointers
ssl->in_hdr, ssl->in_len, ssl->in_iv, ssl->in_msg pointing to various
parts of the record header in an incoming record, and they are setup
in the static function ssl_update_in_pointers() based on the _expected_
transform for the next incoming record.
In particular, the pointer ssl->in_msg is set to where the record plaintext
should reside after record decryption, and an assertion double-checks this
after each call to ssl_decrypt_buf().
This commit removes the dependency of ssl_update_in_pointers() on the
expected incoming transform by setting ssl->in_msg to ssl->in_iv --
the beginning of the record content (potentially including the IV) --
and adjusting ssl->in_msg after calling ssl_decrypt_buf() on a protected
record.
Care has to be taken to not load ssl->in_msg before calling
mbedtls_ssl_read_record(), then, which was previously the
case in ssl_parse_server_hello(); the commit fixes that.
Prior to this commit, the security parameter struct `ssl_transform`
contained a `ciphersuite_info` field pointing to the information
structure for the negotiated ciphersuite. However, the only
information extracted from that structure that was used in the core
encryption and decryption functions `ssl_encrypt_buf`/`ssl_decrypt_buf`
was the authentication tag length in case of an AEAD cipher.
The present commit removes the `ciphersuite_info` field from the
`ssl_transform` structure and adds an explicit `taglen` field
for AEAD authentication tag length.
This is in accordance with the principle that the `ssl_transform`
structure should contain the raw parameters needed for the record
encryption and decryption functions to work, but not the higher-level
information that gave rise to them. For example, the `ssl_transform`
structure implicitly contains the encryption/decryption keys within
their cipher contexts, but it doesn't contain the SSL master or
premaster secrets. Likewise, it contains an explicit `maclen`, while
the status of the 'Truncated HMAC' extension -- which determines the
value of `maclen` when the `ssl_transform` structure is created in
`ssl_derive_keys` -- is not contained in `ssl_transform`.
The `ciphersuite_info` pointer was used in other places outside
the encryption/decryption functions during the handshake, and for
these functions to work, this commit adds a `ciphersuite_info` pointer
field to the handshake-local `ssl_handshake_params` structure.
The SSL module accesses ECDH context members directly. This can't work
with the new context, where we can't make any assumption about the
implementation of the context.
This commit makes use of the new functions to avoid accessing ECDH
members directly. The only members that are still accessed directly are
the group ID and the point format and they are independent from the
implementation.
The previous code triggered a compiler warning because of a comparison
of a signed and an unsigned integer.
The conversion is safe because `len` is representable by 16-bits,
hence smaller than the maximum integer.
In the previous bounds check `(*p) > end - len`, the computation
of `end - len` might underflow if `end` is within the first 64KB
of the address space (note that the length `len` is controlled by
the peer). In this case, the bounds check will be bypassed, leading
to `*p` exceed the message bounds by up to 64KB when leaving
`ssl_parse_server_psk_hint()`. In a pure PSK-based handshake,
this doesn't seem to have any consequences, as `*p*` is not accessed
afterwards. In a PSK-(EC)DHE handshake, however, `*p` is read from
in `ssl_parse_server_ecdh_params()` and `ssl_parse_server_dh_params()`
which might lead to an application crash of information leakage.

Previously, mbedtls_ssl_read_record() always updated the handshake
checksum in case a handshake record was received. While desirable
most of the time, for the CertificateVerify message the checksum
update must only happen after the message has been fully processed,
because the validation requires the handshake digest up to but
excluding the CertificateVerify itself. As a remedy, the bulk
of mbedtls_ssl_read_record() was previously duplicated within
ssl_parse_certificate_verify(), hardening maintenance in case
mbedtls_ssl_read_record() is subject to changes.
This commit adds a boolean parameter to mbedtls_ssl_read_record()
indicating whether the checksum should be updated in case of a
handshake message or not. This allows using it also for
ssl_parse_certificate_verify(), manually updating the checksum
after the message has been processed.
This will allow fragmentation to always happen in the same place, always from
a buffer distinct from ssl->out_msg, and with the same way of resuming after
returning WANT_WRITE
