Analogous to the previous commit, but concerning the record decryption
routine `ssl_decrypt_buf`.
An important change regards the checking of CBC padding:
Prior to this commit, the CBC padding check always read 256 bytes at
the end of the internal record buffer, almost always going past the
boundaries of the record under consideration. In order to stay within
the bounds of the given record, this commit changes this behavior by
always reading the last min(256, plaintext_len) bytes of the record
plaintext buffer and taking into consideration the last `padlen` of
these for the padding check. With this change, the memory access
pattern and runtime of the padding check is entirely determined by
the size of the encrypted record, in particular not giving away
any information on the validity of the padding.
The following depicts the different behaviors:
1) Previous CBC padding check

The previous version of the record encryption function
`ssl_encrypt_buf` takes the entire SSL context as an argument,
while intuitively, it should only depend on the current security
parameters and the record buffer.
Analyzing the exact dependencies, it turned out that in addition
to the currently active `ssl_transform` instance and the record
information, the encryption function needs access to
- the negotiated protocol version, and
- the status of the encrypt-then-MAC extension.
This commit moves these two fields into `ssl_transform` and
changes the signature of `ssl_encrypt_buf` to only use an instance
of `ssl_transform` and an instance of the new `ssl_record` type.
The `ssl_context` instance is *solely* kept for the debugging macros
which need an SSL context instance.
The benefit of the change is twofold:
1) It avoids the need of the MPS to deal with instances of
`ssl_context`. The MPS should only work with records and
opaque security parameters, which is what the change in
this commit makes progress towards.
2) It significantly eases testing of the encryption function:
independent of any SSL context, the encryption function can
be passed some record buffer to encrypt alongside some arbitrary
choice of parameters, and e.g. be checked to not overflow the
provided memory.
The macro constant `MBEDTLS_SSL_MAC_ADD` defined in `ssl_internal.h`
defines an upper bound for the amount of space needed for the record
authentication tag. Its definition distinguishes between the
presence of an ARC4 or CBC ciphersuite suite, in which case the maximum
size of an enabled SHA digest is used; otherwise, `MBEDTLS_SSL_MAC_ADD`
is set to 16 to accomodate AEAD authentication tags.
This assignment has a flaw in the situation where confidentiality is
not needed and the NULL cipher is in use. In this case, the
authentication tag also uses a SHA digest, but the definition of
`MBEDTLS_SSL_MAC_ADD` doesn't guarantee enough space.
The present commit fixes this by distinguishing between the presence
of *some* ciphersuite using a MAC, including those using a NULL cipher.
For that, the previously internal macro `SSL_SOME_MODES_USE_MAC` from
`ssl_tls.c` is renamed and moved to the public macro
`MBEDTLS_SOME_MODES_USE_MAC` defined in `ssl_internal.h`.
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_transform` security parameter structure contains opaque
cipher contexts for use by the record encryption/decryption functions
`ssl_decrypt_buf`/`ssl_encrypt_buf`, while the underlying key material
is configured once in `ssl_derive_keys` and is not explicitly dealt with
anymore afterwards. In particular, the key length is not needed
explicitly by the encryption/decryption functions but is nonetheless
stored in an explicit yet superfluous `keylen` field in `ssl_transform`.
This commit removes this field.

If mbedtls_ecdh_get_params is called with keys belonging to
different groups, make it return an error the second time, rather than
silently interpret the first key as being on the second curve.
This makes the non-regression test added by the previous commit pass.
Refactor the function mbedtls_asn1_write_bitstring() that removes
trailing 0s at the end of DER encoded bitstrings. The function is
implemented according to Hanno Becker's suggestions.
This commit also changes the functions x509write_crt_set_ns_cert_type
and crt_set_key_usage to call the new function as the use named
bitstrings instead of the regular bitstrings.
In mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod(), the limit check on wsize is never true when

Return the error code if failed, instead of returning value `1`.
If not failed, return the call of the underlying function,
in `mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey()`.
Use `cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Asan` rather than manually setting
`-fsanitize=address`. This lets cmake determine the necessary compiler
and linker flags.
With UNSAFE_BUILD on, force -Wno-error. This is necessary to build
with MBEDTLS_TEST_NULL_ENTROPY.
mbedtls_mpi_read_binary() calls memcpy() with the source pointer being
the source pointer passed to mbedtls_mpi_read_binary(), the latter may
be NULL if the buffer length is 0 (and this happens e.g. in the ECJPAKE
test suite). The behavior of memcpy(), in contrast, is undefined when
called with NULL source buffer, even if the length of the copy operation
is 0.
This commit fixes this by explicitly checking that the source pointer is
not NULL before calling memcpy(), and skipping the call otherwise.
Context: The function `mbedtls_mpi_fill_random()` uses a temporary stack
buffer to hold the random data before reading it into the target MPI.
Problem: This is inefficient both computationally and memory-wise.
Memory-wise, it may lead to a stack overflow on constrained devices with
limited stack.
Fix: This commit introduces the following changes to get rid of the
temporary stack buffer entirely:
1. It modifies the call to the PRNG to output the random data directly
into the target MPI's data buffer.
This alone, however, constitutes a change of observable behaviour:
The previous implementation guaranteed to interpret the bytes emitted by
the PRNG in a big-endian fashion, while rerouting the PRNG output into the
target MPI's limb array leads to an interpretation that depends on the
endianness of the host machine.
As a remedy, the following change is applied, too:
2. Reorder the bytes emitted from the PRNG within the target MPI's
data buffer to ensure big-endian semantics.
Luckily, the byte reordering was already implemented as part of
`mbedtls_mpi_read_binary()`, so:
3. Extract bigendian-to-host byte reordering from
`mbedtls_mpi_read_binary()` to a separate internal function
`mpi_bigendian_to_host()` to be used by `mbedtls_mpi_read_binary()`
and `mbedtls_mpi_fill_random()`.
The calls to cipher_finish didn't actually do anything:
- the cipher mode is always ECB
- in that case cipher_finish() only sets *olen to zero, and returns either 0
or an error depending on whether there was pending data
- olen is a local variable in the caller, so setting it to zero right before
returning is not essential
- the return value of cipher_finis() was not checked by the caller so that's
not useful either
- the cipher layer does not have ALT implementations so the behaviour
described above is unconditional on ALT implementations (in particular,
cipher_finish() can't be useful to hardware as (with ECB) it doesn't call any
functions from lower-level modules that could release resources for example)
Since the calls are causing issues with parameter validation, and were no
serving any functional purpose, it's simpler to just remove them.
Somehow, mbedtls_sha256_ret() is defined even if MBEDTLS_SHA256_ALT
is set, and it is using SHA256_VALIDATE_RET. The documentation should
be enhanced to indicate that MBEDTLS_SHA256_ALT does _not_ replace
the entire module, but only the core SHA-256 functions.
Somehow, mbedtls_sha512_ret() is defined even if MBEDTLS_SHA512_ALT
is set, and it is using SHA512_VALIDATE_RET. The documentation should
be enhanced to indicate that MBEDTLS_SHA512_ALT does _not_ replace
the entire module, but only the core SHA-512 functions.
Somehow, mbedtls_sha1_ret() is defined even if MBEDTLS_SHA1_ALT
is set, and it is using SHA1_VALIDATE_RET. The documentation should
be enhanced to indicate that MBEDTLS_SHA1_ALT does _not_ replace
the entire module, but only the core SHA-1 functions.
Document when a context must be initialized or not, when it must be
set up or not, and whether it needs a private key or a public key will
do.
The implementation is sometimes more liberal than the documentation,
accepting a non-set-up context as a context that can't perform the
requested information. This preserves backward compatibility.
The MPI_VALIDATE_RET() macro cannot be used for parameter
validation of mbedtls_mpi_lsb() because this function returns
a size_t.
Use the underlying MBEDTLS_INTERNAL_VALIDATE_RET() insteaed,
returning 0 on failure.
Also, add a test for this behaviour.
A 0-length buffer for the key is a legitimate edge case. Ensure that
it works, even with buf=NULL. Document the key and keylen parameters.
There are already test cases for parsing an empty buffer. A subsequent
commit will add tests for writing to an empty buffer.
