PolarSSL ChangeLog
= Version 1.2.18 released 2015-11-04
Security
* Fix potential heap corruption on Windows when
x509_crt_parse_path() is passed a path longer than 2GB. Cannot be
triggered remotely. Found by Guido Vranken, Intelworks.
* Fix potential buffer overflow in some asn1_write_xxx() functions.
Cannot be triggered remotely unless you create X.509 certificates based
on untrusted input or write keys of untrusted origin. Found by Guido
Vranken, Intelworks.
* The X509 max_pathlen constraint was not enforced on intermediate
certificates. Found by Nicholas Wilson, fix and tests provided by
Janos Follath. #280 and #319
Bugfix
* Self-signed certificates were not excluded from pathlen counting,
resulting in some valid X.509 being incorrectly rejected. Found and fix
provided by Janos Follath. #319
* Fix failures in MPI on Sparc(64) due to use of bad assembly code.
Found by Kurt Danielson. #292
= Version 1.2.17 released 2015-10-06
Security
* Fix for CVE-2015-5291 to prevent heap corruption due to buffer
overflow of the hostname or session ticket. Found by Guido Vranken,
Intelworks.
* Fix stack buffer overflow in pkcs12 decryption (used by
mbedtls_pk_parse_key(file)() when the password is > 129 bytes. Found by
Guido Vranken, Intelworks. Not triggerable remotely.
* Fix potential buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_read_string().
Found by Guido Vranken, Intelworks. Not exploitable remotely in the context
of TLS, but might be in other uses. On 32 bit machines, requires reading a
string of close to or larger than 1GB to exploit; on 64 bit machines, would
require reading a string of close to or larger than 2^62 bytes.
* Fix potential random memory allocation in mbedtls_pem_read_buffer()
on crafted PEM input data. Found and fix provided by Guido Vranken,
Intelworks. Not triggerable remotely in TLS. Triggerable remotely if you
accept PEM data from an untrusted source.
* Fix possible heap buffer overflow in base64_encode() when the input
buffer is 512MB or larger on 32-bit platforms. Found by Guido Vranken,
Intelworks. Not trigerrable remotely in TLS.
* Fix potential heap buffer overflow in servers that perform client
authentication against a crafted CA cert. Cannot be triggered remotely
unless you allow third parties to pick trust CAs for client auth. Found by
Guido Vranken, Intelworks.
Bugfix
* Fix compile error in net.c with musl libc. Found and patch provided by
zhasha (#278).
* Fix macroization of 'inline' keywork when building as C++. (#279)

tries to continue the handshake after it failed (a misuse of the API).
(Found and patch provided by Fabian Foerg, Gotham Digital Science using
afl-fuzz.)

signatures. (Found by Florian Weimer, Red Hat.)

Bugfix
* Fix thread-safety issue in SSL debug module (found by Edwin van Vliet).

Leisink).

* ssl_get_verify_result() now works even if the handshake was aborted due
to a failed verification (found by Fredrik Axelsson).

key exchanges enabled needs certificates. This fixes a possible interop
issue with some servers when a zero-length extension was sent. (Reported
by Peter Dettman.)

introspection functions (Closes ticket #40)

parity bits, to prevent mistakes in copying data. (Closes ticket #33)
* Loads of minimal changes to better support WINCE as a build target
(Credits go to Marco Lizza)

trade-off

a consequence in library code and programs
* Moved all examples programs to use the new entropy and CTR_DRBG
* Added permissive certificate parsing to x509parse_crt() and
x509parse_crtfile(). With permissive parsing the parsing does not stop on
encountering a parse-error. Beware that the meaning of return values has
changed!
* All error codes are now negative. Even on mermory failures and IO errors.

ticket #37)

smaller than the hash length. (Closes ticket #41)

error codes and their description.
* Added mpi_get_bit() and mpi_set_bit() individual bit setter/getter
functions.
* Added ssl_mail_client and ssl_fork_server as example programs.
Changes
* Major argument / variable rewrite. Introduced use of size_t
instead of int for buffer lengths and loop variables for
better unsigned / signed use. Renamed internal bigint types
t_int and t_dbl to t_uint and t_udbl in the process
* mpi_init() and mpi_free() now only accept a single MPI
argument and do not accept variable argument lists anymore.
* The error codes have been remapped and combining error codes
is now done with a PLUS instead of an OR as error codes
used are negative.
* Changed behaviour of net_read(), ssl_fetch_input() and ssl_recv().
net_recv() now returns 0 on EOF instead of
POLARSSL_ERR_NET_CONN_RESET. ssl_fetch_input() returns
POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_CONN_EOF on an EOF from its f_recv() function.
ssl_read() returns 0 if a POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_CONN_EOF is received
after the handshake.
* Network functions now return POLARSSL_ERR_NET_WANT_READ or
POLARSSL_ERR_NET_WANT_WRITE instead of the ambiguous
POLARSSL_ERR_NET_TRY_AGAIN
= Version 0.99-pre4 released on 2011-04-01
Features
* Added support for PKCS#1 v2.1 encoding and thus support
for the RSAES-OAEP and RSASSA-PSS operations.
* Reading of Public Key files incorporated into default x509
functionality as well.
