Change mbedtls_zeroize() implementation to use memset() instead of a
custom implementation for performance reasons. Furthermore, we would
also like to prevent as much as we can compiler optimisations that
remove zeroization code.
The implementation of mbedtls_zeroize() now uses a volatile function
pointer to memset() as suggested by Colin Percival at:
http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2014-09-04-how-to-zero-a-buffer.html
Add a new macro MBEDTLS_UTILS_ZEROIZE that allows users to configure
mbedtls_zeroize() to an alternative definition when defined. If the
macro is not defined, then mbed TLS will use the default definition of
the function.
This commit removes all the static occurrencies of the function
mbedtls_zeroize() in each of the individual .c modules. Instead the
function has been moved to utils.h that is included in each of the
modules.
The new header contains common information across various mbed TLS
modules and avoids code duplication. To start, utils.h currently only
contains the mbedtls_zeroize() function.
The specification requires that P and Q are not too close. The specification
also requires that you generate a P and stick with it, generating new Qs until
you have found a pair that works. In practice, it turns out that sometimes a
particular P results in it being very unlikely a Q can be found matching all
the constraints. So we keep the original behavior where a new P and Q are
generated every round.
The specification requires that numbers are the raw entropy (except for odd/
even) and at least 2^(nbits-0.5). If not, new random bits need to be used for
the next number. Similarly, if the number is not prime new random bits need to
be used.
Attacks against RSA exist for small D. [Wiener] established this for
D < N^0.25. [Boneh] suggests the bound should be N^0.5.
Multiple possible values of D might exist for the same set of E, P, Q. The
attack works when there exists any possible D that is small. To make sure that
the generated key is not susceptible to attack, we need to make sure we have
found the smallest possible D, and then check that D is big enough. The
Carmichael function λ of p*q is lcm(p-1, q-1), so we can apply Carmichael's
theorem to show that D = d mod λ(n) is the smallest.

Clang-Msan is known to report spurious errors when MBEDTLS_AESNI_C is
enabled, due to the use of assembly code. The error reports don't
mention AES, so they can be difficult to trace back to the use of
AES-NI. Warn about this potential problem at compile time.
Zeroing out an fd_set before calling FD_ZERO on it is in principle
useless, but without it some memory sanitizers think the fd_set is
still uninitialized after FD_ZERO (e.g. clang-msan/Glibc/x86_64 where
FD_ZERO is implemented in assembly). Make the zeroing conditional on
using a memory sanitizer.
The initialization via FD_SET is not seen by memory sanitizers if
FD_SET is implemented through assembly. Additionally zeroizing the
respective fd_set's before calling FD_SET contents the sanitizers
and comes at a negligible computational overhead.
In mbedtls_ssl_derive_keys, don't call mbedtls_md_hmac_starts in
ciphersuites that don't use HMAC. This doesn't change the behavior of
the code, but avoids relying on an uncaught error when attempting to
start an HMAC operation that hadn't been initialized.
Clarify what MBEDTLS_ERR_ECP_SIG_LEN_MISMATCH and
MBEDTLS_ERR_PK_SIG_LEN_MISMATCH mean. Add comments to highlight that
this indicates that a valid signature is present, unlike other error
codes. See

The relevant ASN.1 definitions for a PKCS#8 encoded Elliptic Curve key are:
PrivateKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
version Version,
privateKeyAlgorithm PrivateKeyAlgorithmIdentifier,
privateKey PrivateKey,
attributes [0] IMPLICIT Attributes OPTIONAL
}
AlgorithmIdentifier ::= SEQUENCE {
algorithm OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
parameters ANY DEFINED BY algorithm OPTIONAL
}
ECParameters ::= CHOICE {
namedCurve OBJECT IDENTIFIER
-- implicitCurve NULL
-- specifiedCurve SpecifiedECDomain
}
ECPrivateKey ::= SEQUENCE {
version INTEGER { ecPrivkeyVer1(1) } (ecPrivkeyVer1),
privateKey OCTET STRING,
parameters [0] ECParameters {{ NamedCurve }} OPTIONAL,
publicKey [1] BIT STRING OPTIONAL
}
Because of the two optional fields, there are 4 possible variants that need to
be parsed: no optional fields, only parameters, only public key, and both
optional fields. Previously mbedTLS was unable to parse keys with "only
parameters". Also, only "only public key" was tested. There was a test for "no
optional fields", but it was labelled incorrectly as SEC.1 and not run because
of a great renaming mixup.
check-names.sh reserves the prefix MBEDTLS_ for macros defined in
config.h so this name (or check-names.sh) had to change.
This is also more flexible because it allows for platforms that don't have
an EINTR equivalent or have multiple such values.
Also, introduce MBEDTLS_EINTR locally in net_sockets.c
for the platform-dependent return code macro used by
the `select` call to indicate that the poll was interrupted
by a signal handler: On Unix, the corresponding macro is EINTR,
while on Windows, it's WSAEINTR.
If the select UNIX system call is interrupted by a signal handler,
it is not automatically restarted but returns EINTR. This commit
modifies the use of select in mbedtls_net_poll from net_sockets.c
to retry the select call in this case.

Another PR will address improving all.sh and/or the depend-xxx.pl scripts
themselves to catch this kind of thing.

In 2.7.0, we replaced a number of MD functions with deprecated inline
versions. This causes ABI compatibility issues, as the functions are no
longer guaranteed to be callable when built into a shared library.
Instead, deprecate the functions without also inlining them, to help
maintain ABI backwards compatibility.
