mbed TLS ChangeLog (Sorted per branch, date)
= mbed TLS 1.3.22 branch released 2017-xx-xx
Security
* Fix heap corruption in implementation of truncated HMAC extension.
When the truncated HMAC extension is enabled and CBC is used,
sending a malicious application packet can be used to selectively
corrupt 6 bytes on the peer's heap, potentially leading to crash or
remote code execution. This can be triggered remotely from either
side.
* Fix buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the hash is too
large for the key size. Found by Seth Terashima, Qualcomm Product
Security Initiative, Qualcomm Technologies Inc.
* Fix buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the unmasked
data is all zeros.
* Fix unsafe bounds check in ssl_parse_client_psk_identity() when adding
64kB to the address of the SSL buffer wraps around.
* Tighten should-be-constant-time memcmp against compiler optimizations.
* Ensure that buffers are cleared after use if they contain sensitive data.
Changes were introduced in multiple places in the library.
* Set PEM buffer to zero before freeing it, to avoid decoded private keys
being leaked to memory after release.
* Fix dhm_check_range() failing to detect trivial subgroups and potentially
leaking 1 bit of the private key. Reported by prashantkspatil.
* Make mpi_read_binary constant-time with respect to
the input data. Previously, trailing zero bytes were detected
and omitted for the sake of saving memory, but potentially
leading to slight timing differences.
Reported by Marco Macchetti, Kudelski Group.
* Wipe stack buffer temporarily holding EC private exponent
after keypair generation.
Features
* Allow comments in test data files.
Bugfix
* Fix typo in ssl.h leading to a too small value of SSL_MAC_ADD
in case CBC is disabled but ARC4 is enabled.
* Fix memory leak in ssl_set_hostname() when called multiple times.
Found by projectgus and jethrogb, #836.
* Fix usage help in ssl_server2 example. Found and fixed by Bei Lin.
* Fix Visual Studio implicit cast compilation warnings in the net.c and
x509.c modules and some sample applications.
* Parse signature algorithm extension when renegotiating. Previously,
renegotiated handshakes would only accept signatures using SHA-1
regardless of the peer's preferences, or fail if SHA-1 was disabled.
* Fix leap year calculation in x509_date_is_valid() to ensure that invalid
dates on leap years with 100 and 400 intervals are handled correctly. Found
by Nicholas Wilson. #694
* Fix some invalid RSA-PSS signatures with keys of size 8N+1 that were
accepted. Generating these signatures required the private key.
* Fix out-of-memory problem when parsing 4096-bit PKCS8-encrypted RSA keys.
Found independently by Florian in the mbed TLS forum and by Mishamax.
#878, #1019.
* Fix build problems on Windows. Contributed by Nicholas Wilson.
* Fix unchecked return codes from AES, DES and 3DES functions in
pem_aes_decrypt(), pem_des_decrypt() and pem_des3_decrypt() respectively.
If a call to one of the functions of the cryptographic primitive modules
failed, the error may not be noticed by the function pem_read_buffer()
causing it to return invalid values. Found by Guido Vranken. #756
* Include configuration file in md.h, to fix compilation warnings.
Reported by aaronmdjones in #1001
* Correct extraction of signature-type from PK instance in X.509 CRT and CSR
writing routines that prevented these functions to work with alternative
RSA implementations. Raised by J.B. in the Mbed TLS forum. Fixes #1011.
* Don't print X.509 version tag for v1 CRT's, and omit extensions for
non-v3 CRT's.
* Fix bugs in RSA test suite under MBEDTLS_NO_PLATFORM_ENTROPY. #1023 #1024
* Fix net_would_block to avoid modification by errno through fcntl call.
Found by nkolban. Fixes #845.
* Fix handling of handshake messages in ssl_read in case
POLARSSL_SSL_DISABLE_RENEGOTIATION is set. Found by erja-gp.
* Add a check for invalid private parameters in ecdsa_sign.
Reported by Yolan Romailler.
* Fix word size check in in pk.c to not depend on MBEDTLS_HAVE_INT64.
* Fix crash when calling mbedtls_ssl_cache_free() twice. Found by
MilenkoMitrovic, #1104
* Fix mbedtls_timing_alarm(0) on Unix.
* Fix use of uninitialized memory in mbedtls_timing_get_timer when reset=1.
Changes
* Extend cert_write example program by options to set the CRT version
and the message digest. Further, allow enabling/disabling of authority
identifier, subject identifier and basic constraints extensions.
* Improve makefiles on Windows: don't run find, and call perl explicitly.
= mbed TLS 1.3.21 branch released 2017-08-10
Security
* Fix authentication bypass in SSL/TLS: when authmode is set to optional,
mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result() would incorrectly return 0 when the peer's
X.509 certificate chain had more than MBEDTLS_X509_MAX_INTERMEDIATE_CA
(default: 8) intermediates, even when it was not trusted. This could be
triggered remotely from either side. (With authmode set to 'required'
(the default), the handshake was correctly aborted).
* Reliably zeroize sensitive data after use in AES example applications
programs/aes/aescrypt2 and programs/aes/crypt_and_hash.
Found by Laurent Simon.
API Changes
* Certificate verification functions now set flags to -1 in case the full
chain was not verified due to an internal error (including in the verify
callback) or chain length limitations.
* With authmode set to optional, the TLS handshake is now aborted if the
verification of the peer's certificate failed due to an overlong chain or
a fatal error in the verify callback.
Bugfix
* Add a check if iv_len is zero in GCM, and return an error if it is zero.
Reported by roberto. #716
* Replace preprocessor condition from #if defined(MBEDTLS_THREADING_PTHREAD)
to #if defined(MBEDTLS_THREADING_C) as the library cannot assume they will
always be implemented by pthread support. Fix for #696
* Fix a resource leak on Windows platforms in mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path(),
in the case of an error. Found by redplait. #590
* Add MPI_CHK to check for error value of mpi_fill_random.
Backported from a report and fix suggestion by guidovranken in #740
* Fix a potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
encoded X509 CRLs. The overflow would enable maliciously constructed CRLs
to bypass the version verification check. Found by Peng Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin,
KNOX Security, Samsung Research America
* Fix a potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
encoded X509 certificates. The overflow would enable maliciously
constructed certificates to bypass the certificate verification check.
* Fix potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
encoded X509 CSRs. The overflow would enable maliciously constructed CSRs
to bypass the version verification check. Found by Peng Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin,
KNOX Security, Samsung Research America
Changes
* Avoid shadowing of time and index functions through mbed TLS function
arguments. Found by inestlerode. Fixes #557.
* Improve documentation of PKCS1 decryption functions.
= mbed TLS 1.3.20 branch released 2017-06-21
Security
* Fixed unlimited overread of heap-based buffer in ssl_read().
The issue could only happen client-side with renegotiation enabled.
Could result in DoS (application crash) or information leak
(if the application layer sent data read from ssl_read()
back to the server or to a third party). Can be triggered remotely.
* Add exponent blinding to RSA private operations as a countermeasure
against side-channel attacks like the cache attack described in
https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.08719v2.
Found and fix proposed by Michael Schwarz, Samuel Weiser, Daniel Gruss,
Clémentine Maurice and Stefan Mangard.
* Wipe stack buffers in RSA private key operations
(rsa_rsaes_pkcs1_v15_decrypt(), rsa_rsaes_oaep_decrypt). Found by Laurent
Simon.
* Tighten parsing of RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures, to avoid a
potential Bleichenbacher/BERserk-style attack.
* Remove support for X509 certificates signed with MD5.
Issue raised by Harm Verhagen
Bugfix
* Disable use of extensions for SSLv3, previously causing the
"SSLv3 with extensions" test from ssl-opt.sh to fail.
* Fix insufficient support for signature-hash-algorithm extension,
resulting in compatibility problems with Chrome. Found by hfloyrd. #823
* Accept empty trusted CA chain in authentication mode
SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL. Found by jethrogb. #864.
* Fix implementation of mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate() to not annihilate
fatal errors in authentication mode MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL and to
reflect bad EC curves within verification result.
* Fix bug that caused the modular inversion function to accept the invalid
modulus 1 and therefore to hang. Found by blaufish. #641.
* Fix incorrect sign computation in modular exponentiation when the base is
a negative MPI. Previously the result was always negative. Found by Guido
Vranken.
* Fix a numerical underflow leading to stack overflow in mpi_read_file()
that was triggered uppon reading an empty line. Found by Guido Vranken.
Changes
* Clarify ECDSA documentation and improve the sample code to avoid
misunderstanding and potentially dangerous use of the API. Pointed out
by Jean-Philippe Aumasson.
* Add new config.h flag POLARSSL_X509_MIN_VERIFY_MD_ALG to set the minimum
hash accepted when verifying certificate chains. Defaults to SHA1, which
means SHA1 is accepted but MD5 and below are rejected.
= mbed TLS 1.3.19 branch released 2017-03-08
Security
* Add checks to prevent signature forgeries for very large messages while
using RSA through the PK module in 64-bit systems. The issue was caused by
some data loss when casting a size_t to an unsigned int value in the
functions rsa_verify_wrap(), rsa_sign_wrap(), rsa_alt_sign_wrap() and
pk_sign(). Found by Jean-Philippe Aumasson.
* Fixed potential livelock during the parsing of a CRL in PEM format in
mbedtls_x509_crl_parse(). A string containing a CRL followed by trailing
characters after the footer could result in the execution of an infinite
loop. The issue can be triggered remotely. Found by Greg Zaverucha,
Microsoft.
* Fixed a bug that caused freeing a buffer that was allocated on the stack,
when verifying the validity of a key on secp224k1. This could be
triggered remotely for example with a maliciously constructed certificate
and potentially could lead to remote code execution on some platforms.
Reported independently by rongsaws and Aleksandar Nikolic, Cisco Talos
team. #569 CVE-2017-2784
Bugfix
* Fix output certificate verification flags set by x509_crt_verify_top() when
traversing a chain of trusted CA. The issue would cause both flags,
BADCERT_NOT_TRUSTED and BADCERT_EXPIRED, to be set when the verification
conditions are not met regardless of the cause. Found by Harm Verhagen and
inestlerode. #665 #561
* Fixed multiple buffer overreads in mbedtls_pem_read_buffer() when parsing
the input string in PEM format to extract the different components. Found
by Eyal Itkin.
* Fix unused variable/function compilation warnings in pem.c and x509_csr.c
that are reported when building mbed TLS with a config.h that does not
define POLARSSL_PEM_PARSE_C. Found by omnium21. #562
* Fixed potential arithmetic overflow in ctr_drbg_reseed() that could cause
buffer bound checks to be bypassed. Found by Eyal Itkin.
* Fixed potential arithmetic overflows in cipher_update() that could cause
buffer bound checks to be bypassed. Found by Eyal Itkin.
* Fixed potential arithmetic overflow in md2_update() that could cause buffer
bound checks to be bypassed. Found by Eyal Itkin.
* Fixed potential arithmetic overflow in base64_decode() that could cause
buffer bound checks to be bypassed. Found by Eyal Itkin.
* Fix potential memory leak in x509_crl_parse(). The leak was caused by
missing calls to pem_free() in cases when a
POLARSSL_ERR_PEM_NO_HEADER_FOOTER_PRESENT error was encountered. Found and
fix proposed by Guido Vranken. #722
* Fixed the templates used to generate project and solution files for Visual
Studio 2015 as well as the files themselves, to remove a build warning
generated in Visual Studio 2015. Reported by Steve Valliere. #742
* Fix 1 byte buffer overflow in mpi_write_string() when the MPI number to
write in hexadecimal is negative and requires an odd number of digits.
Found and fixed by Guido Vranken.
* Fix unlisted DES configuration dependency in some pkparse test cases. Found
by inestlerode. #555
= mbed TLS 1.3.18 branch 2016-10-17
Security
* Removed the MBEDTLS_SSL_AEAD_RANDOM_IV option, because it was not compliant
with RFC-5116 and could lead to session key recovery in very long TLS
sessions. "Nonce-Disrespecting Adversaries Practical Forgery Attacks on GCM in
TLS" - H. Bock, A. Zauner, S. Devlin, J. Somorovsky, P. Jovanovic.
https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/475.pdf
* Fixed potential stack corruption in mbedtls_x509write_crt_der() and
mbedtls_x509write_csr_der() when the signature is copied to the buffer
without checking whether there is enough space in the destination. The
issue cannot be triggered remotely. Found by Jethro Beekman.
Bugfix
* Fix an issue that caused valid certificates being rejected whenever an
expired or not yet valid version of the trusted certificate was before the
valid version in the trusted certificate list.
* Fix incorrect handling of block lengths in crypt_and_hash.c sample program,
when GCM is used. Found by udf2457. #441
* Fix for key exchanges based on ECDH-RSA or ECDH-ECDSA which weren't
enabled unless others were also present. Found by David Fernandez. #428
* Fixed cert_app.c sample program for debug output and for use when no root
certificates are provided.
* Fix conditional statement that would cause a 1 byte overread in
mbedtls_asn1_get_int(). Found and fixed by Guido Vranken. #599
* Fixed the sample applications gen_key.c, cert_req.c and cert_write.c for
builds where the configuration POLARSSL_PEM_WRITE_C is not defined. Found
by inestlerode. #559.

* Fix check for validity of date when parsing in mbedtls_x509_get_time().
Found by subramanyam-c. #626
* Fix missing return code check after call to md_init_ctx() that could
result in usage of invalid md_ctx in rsa_rsaes_oaep_encrypt(),
rsa_rsaes_oaep_decrypt(), rsa_rsassa_pss_sign() and
rsa_rsassa_pss_verify_ext(). Fixed by Brian J. Murray. #502
Changes
* Add compile time option for relaxed X.509 time verification to enable
accepting certificates with non-standard time format (that is without
seconds or with a time zone). Patch provided by James Yonan of OpenVPN.
= mbed TLS 1.3.17 branch 2016-06-28
Security

mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves. #373
Changes
* On ARM platforms, when compiling with -O0 with GCC, Clang or armcc5,
don't use the optimized assembly for bignum multiplication. This removes
the need to pass -fomit-frame-pointer to avoid a build error with -O0.
* Disabled SSLv3 in the default configuration.

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.

trusted, no later cert is checked. (suggested by hannes-landeholm)
(#220).
= mbed TLS 1.3.12 released 2015-08-11
Security
* Increase the minimum size of Diffie-Hellman parameters accepted by the

* Improved Makefiles for Windows targets by fixing library targets and making
cross-compilation easier (thanks to Alon Bar-Lev).
* The benchmark program also prints heap usage for public-key primitives
if POLARSSL_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C and POLARSSL_MEMORY_DEBUG are defined.
* New script ecc-heap.sh helps measuring the impact of ECC parameters on
speed and RAM (heap only for now) usage.
* New script memory.sh helps measuring the ROM and RAM requirements of two
reduced configurations (PSK-CCM and NSA suite B).

for pre-1.2 clients when multiple certificates are available.
* Add support for getrandom() syscall on recent Linux kernels with Glibc or
a compatible enough libc (eg uClibc).
* Add ssl_set_arc4_support() to make it easier to disable RC4 at runtime
while using the default ciphersuite list.

ambiguous on how to encode some packets with SSL 3.0).
* Made buffer size in pk_write_(pub)key_pem() more dynamic, eg smaller if
RSA is disabled, larger if POLARSSL_MPI_MAX_SIZE is larger.
* ssl_read() now returns POLARSSL_ERR_NET_WANT_READ rather than
POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_UNEXPECTED_MESSAGE on harmless alerts.

ssl_read() returns 0 if a POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_CONN_EOF is received
after the handshake.

platform (32-bit / 64-bit) (Fixes ticket #19, found by Mads
Kiilerich and Mihai Militaru)

* Enabled support for large files by default in aescrypt2.c
* Preliminary openssl wrapper contributed by David Barrett
* Fixed a bug in ssl_write() that caused the same payload to
be sent twice in non-blocking mode when send returns EAGAIN

not be swapped in the SSLv2 ClientHello (found by Greg Robson)
* Added user-defined callback debug function (Krystian Kolodziej)
* Before freeing a certificate, properly zero out all cert. data
* Fixed the "mode" parameter so that encryption/decryption are
not swapped on PadLock; also fixed compilation on older versions
of gcc (bug reported by David Barrett)

ouput data is non-aligned by falling back to the software
implementation, as VIA Nehemiah cannot handle non-aligned buffers

Robson-Garth; some x509write.c fixes by Pascal Vizeli, thanks to
Matthew Page who reported several bugs
* Fixed x509_get_ext() to accept some rare certificates which have
an INTEGER instead of a BOOLEAN for BasicConstraints::cA.

* Disabled obsolete hash functions by default (MD2, MD4); updated
selftest and benchmark to not test ciphers that have been disabled
* Updated x509parse_cert_info() to correctly display byte 0 of the
serial number, setup correct server port in the ssl client example

peer may cause xyssl to loop indefinitely by sending a certificate
for which the RSA signature check fails (bug reported by Benoit)
* Added test vectors for: AES-CBC, AES-CFB, DES-CBC and 3DES-CBC,
HMAC-MD5, HMAC-SHA1, HMAC-SHA-256, HMAC-SHA-384, and HMAC-SHA-512
