Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001Mbed TLS ChangeLog (Sorted per branch, date)
2
3= Mbed TLS 2.28.1 branch released 2022-07-11
4
5Default behavior changes
6 * mbedtls_cipher_set_iv will now fail with ChaCha20 and ChaCha20+Poly1305
7 for IV lengths other than 12. The library was silently overwriting this
8 length with 12, but did not inform the caller about it. Fixes #4301.
9
10Features
11 * When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is enabled, you may list the PSA crypto
12 feature requirements in the file named by the new macro
13 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG_FILE instead of the default psa/crypto_config.h.
14 Furthermore you may name an additional file to include after the main
15 file with the macro MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_USER_CONFIG_FILE.
16
17Security
18 * Zeroize dynamically-allocated buffers used by the PSA Crypto key storage
19 module before freeing them. These buffers contain secret key material, and
20 could thus potentially leak the key through freed heap.
21 * Fix a potential heap buffer overread in TLS 1.2 server-side when
22 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled, an opaque key (created with
23 mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque()) is provisioned, and a static ECDH ciphersuite
24 is selected. This may result in an application crash or potentially an
25 information leak.
26 * Fix a buffer overread in DTLS ClientHello parsing in servers with
27 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE enabled. An unauthenticated client
28 or a man-in-the-middle could cause a DTLS server to read up to 255 bytes
29 after the end of the SSL input buffer. The buffer overread only happens
30 when MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN is less than a threshold that depends on
31 the exact configuration: 258 bytes if using mbedtls_ssl_cookie_check(),
32 and possibly up to 571 bytes with a custom cookie check function.
33 Reported by the Cybeats PSI Team.
34
35Bugfix
36 * Fix a memory leak if mbedtls_ssl_config_defaults() is called twice.
37 * Fix several bugs (warnings, compiler and linker errors, test failures)
38 in reduced configurations when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
39 * Fix a bug in (D)TLS curve negotiation: when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO was
40 enabled and an ECDHE-ECDSA or ECDHE-RSA key exchange was used, the
41 client would fail to check that the curve selected by the server for
42 ECDHE was indeed one that was offered. As a result, the client would
43 accept any curve that it supported, even if that curve was not allowed
44 according to its configuration. Fixes #5291.
45 * Fix unit tests that used 0 as the file UID. This failed on some
46 implementations of PSA ITS. Fixes #3838.
47 * Fix API violation in mbedtls_md_process() test by adding a call to
48 mbedtls_md_starts(). Fixes #2227.
49 * Fix compile errors when MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME is not defined. Add tests
50 to catch bad uses of time.h.
51 * Fix the library search path when building a shared library with CMake
52 on Windows.
53 * Fix bug in the alert sending function mbedtls_ssl_send_alert_message()
54 potentially leading to corrupted alert messages being sent in case
55 the function needs to be re-called after initially returning
56 MBEDTLS_SSL_WANT_WRITE. Fixes #1916.
57 * In configurations with MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID enabled but none of
58 MBEDTLS_SSL_HW_RECORD_ACCEL, MBEDTLS_SSL_EXPORT_KEYS or MBEDTLS_DEBUG_C,
59 DTLS handshakes using CID would crash due to a null pointer dereference.
60 Fix this. Fixes #3998.
61 * Fix incorrect documentation of mbedtls_x509_crt_profile. The previous
62 documentation stated that the `allowed_pks` field applies to signatures
63 only, but in fact it does apply to the public key type of the end entity
64 certificate, too. Fixes #1992.
65 * Fix PSA cipher multipart operations using ARC4. Previously, an IV was
66 required but discarded. Now, an IV is rejected, as it should be.
67 * Fix undefined behavior in mbedtls_asn1_find_named_data(), where val is
68 not NULL and val_len is zero.
69 * psa_raw_key_agreement() now returns PSA_ERROR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL when
70 applicable. Fixes #5735.
71 * Fix a bug in the x25519 example program where the removal of
72 MBEDTLS_ECDH_LEGACY_CONTEXT caused the program not to run. Fixes #4901 and
73 #3191.
74 * Encode X.509 dates before 1/1/2000 as UTCTime rather than
75 GeneralizedTime. Fixes #5465.
76 * Fix order value of curve x448.
77 * Fix string representation of DNs when outputting values containing commas
78 and other special characters, conforming to RFC 1779. Fixes #769.
79 * Silence a warning from GCC 12 in the selftest program. Fixes #5974.
80 * Fix mbedtls_asn1_write_mpi() writing an incorrect encoding of 0.
81 * Fix resource leaks in mbedtls_pk_parse_public_key() in low
82 memory conditions.
83 * Fix server connection identifier setting for outgoing encrypted records
84 on DTLS 1.2 session resumption. After DTLS 1.2 session resumption with
85 connection identifier, the Mbed TLS client now properly sends the server
86 connection identifier in encrypted record headers. Fix #5872.
87 * Fix a null pointer dereference when performing some operations on zero
88 represented with 0 limbs (specifically mbedtls_mpi_mod_int() dividing
89 by 2, and mbedtls_mpi_write_string() in base 2).
90 * Fix record sizes larger than 16384 being sometimes accepted despite being
91 non-compliant. This could not lead to a buffer overflow. In particular,
92 application data size was already checked correctly.
93
94Changes
95 * Assume source files are in UTF-8 when using MSVC with CMake.
96
97= mbed TLS 2.28.0 branch released 2021-12-17
98
99API changes
100 * Some fields of mbedtls_ssl_session and mbedtls_ssl_config are in a
101 different order. This only affects applications that define such
102 structures directly or serialize them.
103
104Requirement changes
105 * Sign-magnitude and one's complement representations for signed integers are
106 not supported. Two's complement is the only supported representation.
107
108Removals
109 * Remove config option MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_CERTIFICATES,
110 which allowed SHA-1 in the default TLS configuration for certificate
111 signing. It was intended to facilitate the transition in environments
112 with SHA-1 certificates. SHA-1 is considered a weak message digest and
113 its use constitutes a security risk.
114 * Remove the partial support for running unit tests via Greentea on Mbed OS,
115 which had been unmaintained since 2018.
116
117Features
118 * The identifier of the CID TLS extension can be configured by defining
119 MBEDTLS_TLS_EXT_CID at compile time.
120 * Warn if errors from certain functions are ignored. This is currently
121 supported on GCC-like compilers and on MSVC and can be configured through
122 the macro MBEDTLS_CHECK_RETURN. The warnings are always enabled
123 (where supported) for critical functions where ignoring the return
124 value is almost always a bug. Enable the new configuration option
125 MBEDTLS_CHECK_RETURN_WARNING to get warnings for other functions. This
126 is currently implemented in the AES, DES and md modules, and will be
127 extended to other modules in the future.
128 * Add missing PSA macros declared by PSA Crypto API 1.0.0:
129 PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH, PSA_ALG_NONE, PSA_HASH_BLOCK_LENGTH, PSA_KEY_ID_NULL.
130 * Add new API mbedtls_ct_memcmp for constant time buffer comparison.
131 * Add PSA API definition for ARIA.
132
133Security
134 * Zeroize several intermediate variables used to calculate the expected
135 value when verifying a MAC or AEAD tag. This hardens the library in
136 case the value leaks through a memory disclosure vulnerability. For
137 example, a memory disclosure vulnerability could have allowed a
138 man-in-the-middle to inject fake ciphertext into a DTLS connection.
139 * In psa_cipher_generate_iv() and psa_cipher_encrypt(), do not read back
140 from the output buffer. This fixes a potential policy bypass or decryption
141 oracle vulnerability if the output buffer is in memory that is shared with
142 an untrusted application.
143 * Fix a double-free that happened after mbedtls_ssl_set_session() or
144 mbedtls_ssl_get_session() failed with MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_ALLOC_FAILED
145 (out of memory). After that, calling mbedtls_ssl_session_free()
146 and mbedtls_ssl_free() would cause an internal session buffer to
147 be free()'d twice.
148
149Bugfix
150 * Stop using reserved identifiers as local variables. Fixes #4630.
151 * The GNU makefiles invoke python3 in preference to python except on Windows.
152 The check was accidentally not performed when cross-compiling for Windows
153 on Linux. Fix this. Fixes #4774.
154 * Prevent divide by zero if either of PSA_CIPHER_ENCRYPT_OUTPUT_SIZE() or
155 PSA_CIPHER_UPDATE_OUTPUT_SIZE() were called using an asymmetric key type.
156 * Fix a parameter set but unused in psa_crypto_cipher.c. Fixes #4935.
157 * Don't use the obsolete header path sys/fcntl.h in unit tests.
158 These header files cause compilation errors in musl.
159 Fixes #4969.
160 * Fix missing constraints on x86_64 and aarch64 assembly code
161 for bignum multiplication that broke some bignum operations with
162 (at least) Clang 12.
163 Fixes #4116, #4786, #4917, #4962.
164 * Fix mbedtls_cipher_crypt: AES-ECB when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
165 * Failures of alternative implementations of AES or DES single-block
166 functions enabled with MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT_ALT, MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT_ALT,
167 MBEDTLS_DES_CRYPT_ECB_ALT or MBEDTLS_DES3_CRYPT_ECB_ALT were ignored.
168 This does not concern the implementation provided with Mbed TLS,
169 where this function cannot fail, or full-module replacements with
170 MBEDTLS_AES_ALT or MBEDTLS_DES_ALT. Reported by Armelle Duboc in #1092.
171 * Some failures of HMAC operations were ignored. These failures could only
172 happen with an alternative implementation of the underlying hash module.
173 * Fix the error returned by psa_generate_key() for a public key. Fixes #4551.
174 * Fix the build of sample programs when neither MBEDTLS_ERROR_C nor
175 MBEDTLS_ERROR_STRERROR_DUMMY is enabled.
176 * Fix PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS verification accepting an arbitrary salt length.
177 This algorithm now accepts only the same salt length for verification
178 that it produces when signing, as documented. Use the new algorithm
179 PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS_ANY_SALT to accept any salt length. Fixes #4946.
180 * The existing predicate macro name PSA_ALG_IS_HASH_AND_SIGN is now reserved
181 for algorithm values that fully encode the hashing step, as per the PSA
182 Crypto API specification. This excludes PSA_ALG_RSA_PKCS1V15_SIGN_RAW and
183 PSA_ALG_ECDSA_ANY. The new predicate macro PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH covers
184 all algorithms that can be used with psa_{sign,verify}_hash(), including
185 these two.
186 * Fix issue in Makefile on Linux with SHARED=1, that caused shared libraries
187 not to list other shared libraries they need.
188 * Fix a bug in mbedtls_gcm_starts() when the bit length of the iv
189 exceeds 2^32. Fixes #4884.
190 * Fix an uninitialized variable warning in test_suite_ssl.function with GCC
191 version 11.
192 * Fix the build when no SHA2 module is included. Fixes #4930.
193 * Fix the build when only the bignum module is included. Fixes #4929.
194 * Fix a potential invalid pointer dereference and infinite loop bugs in
195 pkcs12 functions when the password is empty. Fix the documentation to
196 better describe the inputs to these functions and their possible values.
197 Fixes #5136.
198 * The key usage flags PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_MESSAGE now allows the MAC
199 operations psa_mac_compute() and psa_mac_sign_setup().
200 * The key usage flags PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_MESSAGE now allows the MAC
201 operations psa_mac_verify() and psa_mac_verify_setup().
202
203Changes
204 * Set config option MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_KEY_EXCHANGE to be
205 disabled by default.
206 * Improve the performance of base64 constant-flow code. The result is still
207 slower than the original non-constant-flow implementation, but much faster
208 than the previous constant-flow implementation. Fixes #4814.
209 * Indicate in the error returned if the nonce length used with
210 ChaCha20-Poly1305 is invalid, and not just unsupported.
211 * The mbedcrypto library includes a new source code module constant_time.c,
212 containing various functions meant to resist timing side channel attacks.
213 This module does not have a separate configuration option, and functions
214 from this module will be included in the build as required. Currently
215 most of the interface of this module is private and may change at any
216 time.

Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +0200218= mbed TLS 2.27.0 branch released 2021-07-07
219
220API changes
221 * Update AEAD output size macros to bring them in line with the PSA Crypto
222 API version 1.0 spec. This version of the spec parameterizes them on the
223 key type used, as well as the key bit-size in the case of
224 PSA_AEAD_TAG_LENGTH.
225 The old versions of these macros were renamed and deprecated as follows:
226 - PSA_AEAD_TAG_LENGTH -> PSA_AEAD_TAG_LENGTH_1_ARG
227 - PSA_AEAD_ENCRYPT_OUTPUT_SIZE -> PSA_AEAD_ENCRYPT_OUTPUT_SIZE_2_ARG
228 - PSA_AEAD_DECRYPT_OUTPUT_SIZE -> PSA_AEAD_DECRYPT_OUTPUT_SIZE_2_ARG
229 - PSA_AEAD_UPDATE_OUTPUT_SIZE -> PSA_AEAD_UPDATE_OUTPUT_SIZE_2_ARG
230 - PSA_AEAD_FINISH_OUTPUT_SIZE -> PSA_AEAD_FINISH_OUTPUT_SIZE_1_ARG
231 - PSA_AEAD_VERIFY_OUTPUT_SIZE -> PSA_AEAD_VERIFY_OUTPUT_SIZE_1_ARG
232 * Implement one-shot cipher functions, psa_cipher_encrypt and
233 psa_cipher_decrypt, according to the PSA Crypto API 1.0.0
234 specification.
235
236Requirement changes
237 * The library now uses the %zu format specifier with the printf() family of
238 functions, so requires a toolchain that supports it. This change does not
239 affect the maintained LTS branches, so when contributing changes please
240 bear this in mind and do not add them to backported code.
241
242Features
243 * Add mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pss_sign_ext() function allowing to generate a
244 signature with a specific salt length. This function allows to validate
245 test cases provided in the NIST's CAVP test suite. Contributed by Cédric
246 Meuter in PR #3183.
247 * Added support for built-in driver keys through the PSA opaque crypto
248 driver interface. Refer to the documentation of
249 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_BUILTIN_KEYS for more information.
250 * Implement psa_sign_message() and psa_verify_message().
251 * The new function mbedtls_mpi_random() generates a random value in a
252 given range uniformly.
253 * Implement psa_mac_compute() and psa_mac_verify() as defined in the
254 PSA Cryptograpy API 1.0.0 specification.
255 * MBEDTLS_ECP_MAX_BITS is now determined automatically from the configured
256 curves and no longer needs to be configured explicitly to save RAM.
257
258Security
259 * Fix a bias in the generation of finite-field Diffie-Hellman-Merkle (DHM)
260 private keys and of blinding values for DHM and elliptic curves (ECP)
261 computations. Reported by FlorianF89 in #4245.
262 * Fix a potential side channel vulnerability in ECDSA ephemeral key generation.
263 An adversary who is capable of very precise timing measurements could
264 learn partial information about the leading bits of the nonce used for the
265 signature, allowing the recovery of the private key after observing a
266 large number of signature operations. This completes a partial fix in
267 Mbed TLS 2.20.0.
268 * It was possible to configure MBEDTLS_ECP_MAX_BITS to a value that is
269 too small, leading to buffer overflows in ECC operations. Fail the build
270 in such a case.
271 * An adversary with access to precise enough information about memory
272 accesses (typically, an untrusted operating system attacking a secure
273 enclave) could recover an RSA private key after observing the victim
274 performing a single private-key operation. Found and reported by
275 Zili KOU, Wenjian HE, Sharad Sinha, and Wei ZHANG.
276 * An adversary with access to precise enough timing information (typically, a
277 co-located process) could recover a Curve25519 or Curve448 static ECDH key
278 after inputting a chosen public key and observing the victim performing the
279 corresponding private-key operation. Found and reported by Leila Batina,
280 Lukas Chmielewski, Björn Haase, Niels Samwel and Peter Schwabe.
281
282Bugfix
283 * Add printf function attributes to mbedtls_debug_print_msg to ensure we
284 get printf format specifier warnings.
285 * Fix premature fopen() call in mbedtls_entropy_write_seed_file which may
286 lead to seed file corruption in the case where the path to the seed file is
287 equal to MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_STD_NV_SEED_FILE. Contributed by Victor
288 Krasnoshchok in #3616.
289 * PSA functions other than psa_open_key now return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE
290 rather than PSA_ERROR_DOES_NOT_EXIST for an invalid handle, bringing them
291 in line with version 1.0.0 of the specification. Fix #4162.
292 * PSA functions creating a key now return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT rather
293 than PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE when the identifier specified for the key
294 to create is not valid, bringing them in line with version 1.0.0 of the
295 specification. Fix #4271.
296 * Fix some cases in the bignum module where the library constructed an
297 unintended representation of the value 0 which was not processed
298 correctly by some bignum operations. This could happen when
299 mbedtls_mpi_read_string() was called on "-0", or when
300 mbedtls_mpi_mul_mpi() and mbedtls_mpi_mul_int() was called with one of
301 the arguments being negative and the other being 0. Fixes #4643.
302 * Fix a bug in ECDSA that would cause it to fail when the hash is all-bits
303 zero. Fixes #1792
304 * Fix a compilation error when MBEDTLS_ECP_RANDOMIZE_MXZ_ALT is
305 defined. Fixes #4217.
306 * Fix an incorrect error code when parsing a PKCS#8 private key.
307 * In a TLS client, enforce the Diffie-Hellman minimum parameter size
308 set with mbedtls_ssl_conf_dhm_min_bitlen() precisely. Before, the
309 minimum size was rounded down to the nearest multiple of 8.
310 * In library/net_sockets.c, _POSIX_C_SOURCE and _XOPEN_SOURCE are
311 defined to specific values. If the code is used in a context
312 where these are already defined, this can result in a compilation
313 error. Instead, assume that if they are defined, the values will
314 be adequate to build Mbed TLS.
315 * The cipher suite TLS-RSA-WITH-CAMELLIA-256-GCM-SHA384 was not available
316 when SHA-1 was disabled and was offered when SHA-1 was enabled but SHA-384
317 was disabled. Fix the dependency. Fixes #4472.
318 * Do not offer SHA384 cipher suites when SHA-384 is disabled. Fixes #4499.
319 * With MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C disabled, some functions were getting built
320 nonetheless, resulting in undefined reference errors when building a
321 shared library. Reported by Guillermo Garcia M. in #4411.
322 * Fix test suite code on platforms where int32_t is not int, such as
323 Arm Cortex-M. Fixes #4530.
324 * Fix some issues affecting MBEDTLS_ARIA_ALT implementations: a misplaced
325 directive in a header and a missing initialization in the self-test.
326 * Fix a missing initialization in the Camellia self-test, affecting
327 MBEDTLS_CAMELLIA_ALT implementations.
328 * Restore the ability to configure PSA via Mbed TLS options to support RSA
329 key pair operations but exclude RSA key generation. When MBEDTLS_GENPRIME
330 is not defined PSA will no longer attempt to use mbedtls_rsa_gen_key().
331 Fixes #4512.
332 * Fix a regression introduced in 2.24.0 which broke (D)TLS CBC ciphersuites
333 (when the encrypt-then-MAC extension is not in use) with some ALT
334 implementations of the underlying hash (SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384), causing
335 the affected side to wrongly reject valid messages. Fixes #4118.
336 * Remove outdated check-config.h check that prevented implementing the
337 timing module on Mbed OS. Fixes #4633.
338 * Fix PSA_ALG_TLS12_PRF and PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS being too permissive
339 about missing inputs.
340 * Fix mbedtls_net_poll() and mbedtls_net_recv_timeout() often failing with
341 MBEDTLS_ERR_NET_POLL_FAILED on Windows. Fixes #4465.
342 * Fix a resource leak in a test suite with an alternative AES
343 implementation. Fixes #4176.
344 * Fix a crash in mbedtls_mpi_debug_mpi on a bignum having 0 limbs. This
345 could notably be triggered by setting the TLS debug level to 3 or above
346 and using a Montgomery curve for the key exchange. Reported by lhuang04
347 in #4578. Fixes #4608.
348 * psa_verify_hash() was relying on implementation-specific behavior of
349 mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pss_verify() and was causing failures in some _ALT
350 implementations. This reliance is now removed. Fixes #3990.
351 * Disallow inputs of length different from the corresponding hash when
352 signing or verifying with PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS (The PSA Crypto API mandates
353 that PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS uses the same hash throughout the algorithm.)
354 * Fix a null pointer dereference when mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod() was called with
355 A=0 represented with 0 limbs. Up to and including Mbed TLS 2.26, this bug
356 could not be triggered by code that constructed A with one of the
357 mbedtls_mpi_read_xxx functions (including in particular TLS code) since
358 those always built an mpi object with at least one limb.
359 Credit to OSS-Fuzz. Fixes #4641.
360 * Fix mbedtls_mpi_gcd(G,A,B) when the value of B is zero. This had no
361 effect on Mbed TLS's internal use of mbedtls_mpi_gcd(), but may affect
362 applications that call mbedtls_mpi_gcd() directly. Fixes #4642.
363 * The PSA API no longer allows the creation or destruction of keys with a
364 read-only lifetime. The persistence level PSA_KEY_PERSISTENCE_READ_ONLY
365 can now only be used as intended, for keys that cannot be modified through
366 normal use of the API.
367 * When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SPM is enabled, crypto_spe.h was not included
368 in all the right places. Include it from crypto_platform.h, which is
369 the natural place. Fixes #4649.
370 * mbedtls_pk_sign() and mbedtls_pk_verify() and their extended and
371 restartable variants now always honor the specified hash length if
372 nonzero. Before, for RSA, hash_len was ignored in favor of the length of
373 the specified hash algorithm.
374 * Fix which alert is sent in some cases to conform to the
375 applicable RFC: on an invalid Finished message value, an
376 invalid max_fragment_length extension, or an
377 unsupported extension used by the server.
378 * Correct (change from 12 to 13 bytes) the value of the macro describing the
379 maximum nonce length returned by psa_aead_generate_nonce().
380
381Changes
382 * Add extra printf compiler warning flags to builds.
383 * Fix memsan build false positive in x509_crt.c with Clang 11
384 * Fix the setting of the read timeout in the DTLS sample programs.
385 * Remove the AES sample application programs/aes/aescrypt2 which shows
386 bad cryptographic practice. Fix #1906.
387 * Alternative implementations of CMAC may now opt to not support 3DES as a
388 CMAC block cipher, and still pass the CMAC self test.
389 * Remove configs/config-psa-crypto.h, which was identical to the default
390 configuration except for having some extra cryptographic mechanisms
391 enabled and for unintended differences. This configuration was primarily
392 intended to demonstrate the PSA API, and lost most of its usefulness when
393 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C became enabled by default.
394 * When building the test suites with GNU make, invoke python3 or python, not
395 python2, which is no longer supported upstream.
396 * When using session cache based session resumption on the server,
397 double-check that custom session cache implementations return
398 sessions which are consistent with the negotiated ciphersuite
399 and compression method.
400 * Fix build failure on MinGW toolchain when __USE_MING_ANSI_STDIO is on.
401 When that flag is on, standard GNU C printf format specifiers
402 should be used.
403 * Reduce the default value of MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE. This reduces RAM usage
404 during ECC operations at a negligible performance cost.
405 * mbedtls_mpi_read_binary(), mbedtls_mpi_read_binary_le() and
406 mbedtls_mpi_read_string() now construct an mbedtls_mpi object with 0 limbs
407 when their input has length 0. Note that this is an implementation detail
408 and can change at any time, so this change should be transparent, but it
409 may result in mbedtls_mpi_write_binary() or mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
410 now writing an empty string where it previously wrote one or more
411 zero digits when operating from values constructed with an mpi_read
412 function and some mpi operations.
413 * Implicitly add PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_MESSAGE key usage policy flag when
414 PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_HASH flag is set and PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_MESSAGE flag
415 when PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_HASH flag is set. This usage flag extension
416 is also applied when loading a key from storage.

419
420API changes
421 * Renamed the PSA Crypto API output buffer size macros to bring them in line
422 with version 1.0.0 of the specification.
423 * The API glue function mbedtls_ecc_group_of_psa() now takes the curve size
424 in bits rather than bytes, with an additional flag to indicate if the
425 size may have been rounded up to a whole number of bytes.
426 * Renamed the PSA Crypto API AEAD tag length macros to bring them in line
427 with version 1.0.0 of the specification.
428
429Default behavior changes
430 * In mbedtls_rsa_context objects, the ver field was formerly documented
431 as always 0. It is now reserved for internal purposes and may take
432 different values.
433
434New deprecations
435 * PSA_KEY_EXPORT_MAX_SIZE, PSA_HASH_SIZE, PSA_MAC_FINAL_SIZE,
436 PSA_BLOCK_CIPHER_BLOCK_SIZE, PSA_MAX_BLOCK_CIPHER_BLOCK_SIZE and
437 PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS_MAX_PSK_LEN have been renamed, and the old names
438 deprecated.
439 * PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_DEFAULT_TAG_LENGTH and PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_TAG_LENGTH
440 have been renamed, and the old names deprecated.
441
442Features
443 * The PSA crypto subsystem can now use HMAC_DRBG instead of CTR_DRBG.
444 CTR_DRBG is used by default if it is available, but you can override
445 this choice by setting MBEDTLS_PSA_HMAC_DRBG_MD_TYPE at compile time.
446 Fix #3354.
447 * Automatic fallback to a software implementation of ECP when
448 MBEDTLS_ECP_xxx_ALT accelerator hooks are in use can now be turned off
449 through setting the new configuration flag MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_FALLBACK.
450 * The PSA crypto subsystem can now be configured to use less static RAM by
451 tweaking the setting for the maximum amount of keys simultaneously in RAM.
452 MBEDTLS_PSA_KEY_SLOT_COUNT sets the maximum number of volatile keys that
453 can exist simultaneously. It has a sensible default if not overridden.
454 * Partial implementation of the PSA crypto driver interface: Mbed TLS can
455 now use an external random generator instead of the library's own
456 entropy collection and DRBG code. Enable MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG
457 and see the documentation of mbedtls_psa_external_get_random() for details.
458 * Applications using both mbedtls_xxx and psa_xxx functions (for example,
459 applications using TLS and MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO) can now use the PSA
460 random generator with mbedtls_xxx functions. See the documentation of
461 mbedtls_psa_get_random() for details.
462 * In the PSA API, the policy for a MAC or AEAD algorithm can specify a
463 minimum MAC or tag length thanks to the new wildcards
464 PSA_ALG_AT_LEAST_THIS_LENGTH_MAC and
465 PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_AT_LEAST_THIS_LENGTH_TAG.
466
467Security
468 * Fix a security reduction in CTR_DRBG when the initial seeding obtained a
469 nonce from entropy. Applications were affected if they called
470 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len(), if they called
471 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_entropy_len() with a size that was 3/2 times the key
472 length, or when the entropy module uses SHA-256 and CTR_DRBG uses AES-256.
473 In such cases, a random nonce was necessary to achieve the advertised
474 security strength, but the code incorrectly used a constant instead of
475 entropy from the nonce.
476 Found by John Stroebel in #3819 and fixed in #3973.
477 * Fix a buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() when calculating
478 |A| - |B| where |B| is larger than |A| and has more limbs (so the
479 function should return MBEDTLS_ERR_MPI_NEGATIVE_VALUE). Only
480 applications calling mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() directly are affected:
481 all calls inside the library were safe since this function is
482 only called with |A| >= |B|. Reported by Guido Vranken in #4042.
483 * Fix an errorneous estimation for an internal buffer in
484 mbedtls_pk_write_key_pem(). If MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE is set to an odd
485 value the function might fail to write a private RSA keys of the largest
486 supported size.
487 Found by Daniel Otte, reported in #4093 and fixed in #4094.
488 * Fix a stack buffer overflow with mbedtls_net_poll() and
489 mbedtls_net_recv_timeout() when given a file descriptor that is
490 beyond FD_SETSIZE. Reported by FigBug in #4169.
491 * Guard against strong local side channel attack against base64 tables by
492 making access aceess to them use constant flow code.
493
494Bugfix
495 * Fix use-after-scope error in programs/ssl/ssl_client2.c and ssl_server2.c
496 * Fix memory leak that occured when calling psa_close_key() on a
497 wrapped key with MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C defined.
498 * Fix an incorrect error code if an RSA private operation glitched.
499 * Fix a memory leak in an error case in psa_generate_derived_key_internal().
500 * Fix a resource leak in CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C
501 is enabled, on platforms where initializing a mutex allocates resources.
502 This was a regression introduced in the previous release. Reported in
503 #4017, #4045 and #4071.
504 * Ensure that calling mbedtls_rsa_free() or mbedtls_entropy_free()
505 twice is safe. This happens for RSA when some Mbed TLS library functions
506 fail. Such a double-free was not safe when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C was
507 enabled on platforms where freeing a mutex twice is not safe.
508 * Fix a resource leak in a bad-arguments case of mbedtls_rsa_gen_key()
509 when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled on platforms where initializing
510 a mutex allocates resources.
511 * Fixes a bug where, if the library was configured to include support for
512 both the old SE interface and the new PSA driver interface, external keys were
513 not loaded from storage. This was fixed by #3996.
514 * This change makes 'mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_basic_constraints'
515 consistent with RFC 5280 4.2.1.9 which says: "Conforming CAs MUST
516 include this extension in all CA certificates that contain public keys
517 used to validate digital signatures on certificates and MUST mark the
518 extension as critical in such certificates." Previous to this change,
519 the extension was always marked as non-critical. This was fixed by
520 #3698.
521
522Changes
523 * A new library C file psa_crypto_client.c has been created to contain
524 the PSA code needed by a PSA crypto client when the PSA crypto
525 implementation is not included into the library.
526 * On recent enough versions of FreeBSD and DragonFlyBSD, the entropy module
527 now uses the getrandom syscall instead of reading from /dev/urandom.
528
529= mbed TLS 2.25.0 branch released 2020-12-11
530
531API changes
532 * The numerical values of the PSA Crypto API macros have been updated to
533 conform to version 1.0.0 of the specification.
534 * PSA_ALG_STREAM_CIPHER replaces PSA_ALG_CHACHA20 and PSA_ALG_ARC4.
535 The underlying stream cipher is determined by the key type
536 (PSA_KEY_TYPE_CHACHA20 or PSA_KEY_TYPE_ARC4).
537 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
538 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() no longer accept NIST_KW contexts,
539 as they have no way to check if the output buffer is large enough.
540 Please use mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt_ext() and
541 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt_ext() instead. Credit to OSS-Fuzz and
542 Cryptofuzz. Fixes #3665.
543
544Requirement changes
545 * Update the minimum required CMake version to 2.8.12. This silences a
546 warning on CMake 3.19.0. #3801
547
548New deprecations
549 * PSA_ALG_CHACHA20 and PSA_ALG_ARC4 have been deprecated.
550 Use PSA_ALG_STREAM_CIPHER instead.
551 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
552 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() are deprecated in favour of the new
553 functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt_ext() and
554 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt_ext(). Please note that with AEAD ciphers,
555 these new functions always append the tag to the ciphertext, and include
556 the tag in the ciphertext length.
557
558Features
559 * Partial implementation of the new PSA Crypto accelerator APIs. (Symmetric
560 ciphers, asymmetric signing/verification and key generation, validate_key
561 entry point, and export_public_key interface.)
562 * Add support for ECB to the PSA cipher API.
563 * In PSA, allow using a key declared with a base key agreement algorithm
564 in combined key agreement and derivation operations, as long as the key
565 agreement algorithm in use matches the algorithm the key was declared with.
566 This is currently non-standard behaviour, but expected to make it into a
567 future revision of the PSA Crypto standard.
568 * Add MBEDTLS_TARGET_PREFIX CMake variable, which is prefixed to the mbedtls,
569 mbedcrypto, mbedx509 and apidoc CMake target names. This can be used by
570 external CMake projects that include this one to avoid CMake target name
571 clashes. The default value of this variable is "", so default target names
572 are unchanged.
573 * Add support for DTLS-SRTP as defined in RFC 5764. Contributed by Johan
574 Pascal, improved by Ron Eldor.
575 * In the PSA API, it is no longer necessary to open persistent keys:
576 operations now accept the key identifier. The type psa_key_handle_t is now
577 identical to psa_key_id_t instead of being platform-defined. This bridges
578 the last major gap to compliance with the PSA Cryptography specification
579 version 1.0.0. Opening persistent keys is still supported for backward
580 compatibility, but will be deprecated and later removed in future
581 releases.
582 * PSA_AEAD_NONCE_LENGTH, PSA_AEAD_NONCE_MAX_SIZE, PSA_CIPHER_IV_LENGTH and
583 PSA_CIPHER_IV_MAX_SIZE macros have been added as defined in version
584 1.0.0 of the PSA Crypto API specification.
585
586Security
587 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
588 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() would write past the minimum documented
589 size of the output buffer when used with NIST_KW. As a result, code using
590 those functions as documented with NIST_KW could have a buffer overwrite
591 of up to 15 bytes, with consequences ranging up to arbitrary code
592 execution depending on the location of the output buffer.
593 * Limit the size of calculations performed by mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod to
594 MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE to prevent a potential denial of service when
595 generating Diffie-Hellman key pairs. Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
596 * A failure of the random generator was ignored in mbedtls_mpi_fill_random(),
597 which is how most uses of randomization in asymmetric cryptography
598 (including key generation, intermediate value randomization and blinding)
599 are implemented. This could cause failures or the silent use of non-random
600 values. A random generator can fail if it needs reseeding and cannot not
601 obtain entropy, or due to an internal failure (which, for Mbed TLS's own
602 CTR_DRBG or HMAC_DRBG, can only happen due to a misconfiguration).
603 * Fix a compliance issue whereby we were not checking the tag on the
604 algorithm parameters (only the size) when comparing the signature in the
605 description part of the cert to the real signature. This meant that a
606 NULL algorithm parameters entry would look identical to an array of REAL
607 (size zero) to the library and thus the certificate would be considered
608 valid. However, if the parameters do not match in *any* way then the
609 certificate should be considered invalid, and indeed OpenSSL marks these
610 certs as invalid when mbedtls did not.
611 Many thanks to guidovranken who found this issue via differential fuzzing
612 and reported it in #3629.
613 * Zeroising of local buffers and variables which are used for calculations
614 in mbedtls_pkcs5_pbkdf2_hmac(), mbedtls_internal_sha*_process(),
615 mbedtls_internal_md*_process() and mbedtls_internal_ripemd160_process()
616 functions to erase sensitive data from memory. Reported by
617 Johan Malmgren and Johan Uppman Bruce from Sectra.
618
619Bugfix
620 * Fix an invalid (but non-zero) return code from mbedtls_pk_parse_subpubkey()
621 when the input has trailing garbage. Fixes #2512.
622 * Fix build failure in configurations where MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is
623 enabled but ECDSA is disabled. Contributed by jdurkop. Fixes #3294.
624 * Include the psa_constant_names generated source code in the source tree
625 instead of generating it at build time. Fixes #3524.
626 * Fix rsa_prepare_blinding() to retry when the blinding value is not
627 invertible (mod N), instead of returning MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_RNG_FAILED. This
628 addresses a regression but is rare in practice (approx. 1 in 2/sqrt(N)).
629 Found by Synopsys Coverity, fix contributed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin).
630 Fixes #3647.
631 * Use socklen_t on Android and other POSIX-compliant system
632 * Fix the build when the macro _GNU_SOURCE is defined to a non-empty value.
633 Fix #3432.
634 * Consistently return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT on invalid cipher input
635 sizes (instead of PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATE in some cases) to make the
636 psa_cipher_* functions compliant with the PSA Crypto API specification.
637 * mbedtls_ecp_curve_list() now lists Curve25519 and Curve448 under the names
638 "x25519" and "x448". These curves support ECDH but not ECDSA. If you need
639 only the curves that support ECDSA, filter the list with
640 mbedtls_ecdsa_can_do().
641 * Fix psa_generate_key() returning an error when asked to generate
642 an ECC key pair on Curve25519 or secp244k1.
643 * Fix psa_key_derivation_output_key() to allow the output of a combined key
644 agreement and subsequent key derivation operation to be used as a key
645 inside of the PSA Crypto core.
646 * Fix handling of EOF against 0xff bytes and on platforms with unsigned
647 chars. Fixes a build failure on platforms where char is unsigned. Fixes
648 #3794.
649 * Fix an off-by-one error in the additional data length check for
650 CCM, which allowed encryption with a non-standard length field.
651 Fixes #3719.
652 * Correct the default IV size for mbedtls_cipher_info_t structures using
653 MBEDTLS_MODE_ECB to 0, since ECB mode ciphers don't use IVs.
654 * Make arc4random_buf available on NetBSD and OpenBSD when _POSIX_C_SOURCE is
655 defined. Fix contributed in #3571.
656 * Fix conditions for including string.h in error.c. Fixes #3866.
657 * psa_set_key_id() now also sets the lifetime to persistent for keys located
658 in a secure element.
659 * Attempting to create a volatile key with a non-zero key identifier now
660 fails. Previously the key identifier was just ignored when creating a
661 volatile key.
662 * Attempting to create or register a key with a key identifier in the vendor
663 range now fails.
664 * Fix build failures on GCC 11. Fixes #3782.
665 * Add missing arguments of debug message in mbedtls_ssl_decrypt_buf.
666 * Fix a memory leak in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() when the result was negative
667 (an error condition) and the second operand was aliased to the result.
668 * Fix a case in elliptic curve arithmetic where an out-of-memory condition
669 could go undetected, resulting in an incorrect result.
670 * In CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG, don't reset the reseed interval in seed().
671 Fixes #2927.
672 * In PEM writing functions, fill the trailing part of the buffer with null
673 bytes. This guarantees that the corresponding parsing function can read
674 the buffer back, which was the case for mbedtls_x509write_{crt,csr}_pem
675 until this property was inadvertently broken in Mbed TLS 2.19.0.
676 Fixes #3682.
677 * Fix a build failure that occurred with the MBEDTLS_AES_SETKEY_DEC_ALT
678 option on. In this configuration key management methods that are required
679 for MBEDTLS_CIPHER_MODE_XTS were excluded from the build and made it fail.
680 Fixes #3818. Reported by John Stroebel.
681
682Changes
683 * Reduce stack usage significantly during sliding window exponentiation.
684 Reported in #3591 and fix contributed in #3592 by Daniel Otte.
685 * The PSA persistent storage format is updated to always store the key bits
686 attribute. No automatic upgrade path is provided. Previously stored keys
687 must be erased, or manually upgraded based on the key storage format
688 specification (docs/architecture/mbed-crypto-storage-specification.md).
689 Fixes #3740.
690 * Remove the zeroization of a pointer variable in AES rounds. It was valid
691 but spurious and misleading since it looked like a mistaken attempt to
692 zeroize the pointed-to buffer. Reported by Antonio de la Piedra, CEA
693 Leti, France.
694
695= mbed TLS 2.24.0 branch released 2020-09-01

697API changes
698 * In the PSA API, rename the types of elliptic curve and Diffie-Hellman
699 group families to psa_ecc_family_t and psa_dh_family_t, in line with the
700 PSA Crypto API specification version 1.0.0.
701 Rename associated macros as well:
702 PSA_ECC_CURVE_xxx renamed to PSA_ECC_FAMILY_xxx
703 PSA_DH_GROUP_xxx renamed to PSA_DH_FAMILY_xxx
704 PSA_KEY_TYPE_GET_CURVE renamed to to PSA_KEY_TYPE_ECC_GET_FAMILY
705 PSA_KEY_TYPE_GET_GROUP renamed to PSA_KEY_TYPE_DH_GET_FAMILY

712Features
713 * The new function mbedtls_ecp_write_key() exports private ECC keys back to
714 a byte buffer. It is the inverse of the existing mbedtls_ecp_read_key().
715 * Support building on e2k (Elbrus) architecture: correctly enable
716 -Wformat-signedness, and fix the code that causes signed-one-bit-field
717 and sign-compare warnings. Contributed by makise-homura (Igor Molchanov)
718 <akemi_homura@kurisa.ch>.
719
720Security
721 * Fix a vulnerability in the verification of X.509 certificates when
722 matching the expected common name (the cn argument of
723 mbedtls_x509_crt_verify()) with the actual certificate name: when the
724 subjecAltName extension is present, the expected name was compared to any
725 name in that extension regardless of its type. This means that an
726 attacker could for example impersonate a 4-bytes or 16-byte domain by
727 getting a certificate for the corresponding IPv4 or IPv6 (this would
728 require the attacker to control that IP address, though). Similar attacks
729 using other subjectAltName name types might be possible. Found and
730 reported by kFYatek in #3498.
731 * When checking X.509 CRLs, a certificate was only considered as revoked if
732 its revocationDate was in the past according to the local clock if
733 available. In particular, on builds without MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE,
734 certificates were never considered as revoked. On builds with
735 MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE, an attacker able to control the local clock (for
736 example, an untrusted OS attacking a secure enclave) could prevent
737 revocation of certificates via CRLs. Fixed by no longer checking the
738 revocationDate field, in accordance with RFC 5280. Reported by
739 yuemonangong in #3340. Reported independently and fixed by
740 Raoul Strackx and Jethro Beekman in #3433.
741 * In (D)TLS record decryption, when using a CBC ciphersuites without the
742 Encrypt-then-Mac extension, use constant code flow memory access patterns
743 to extract and check the MAC. This is an improvement to the existing
744 countermeasure against Lucky 13 attacks. The previous countermeasure was
745 effective against network-based attackers, but less so against local
746 attackers. The new countermeasure defends against local attackers, even
747 if they have access to fine-grained measurements. In particular, this
748 fixes a local Lucky 13 cache attack found and reported by Tuba Yavuz,
749 Farhaan Fowze, Ken (Yihan) Bai, Grant Hernandez, and Kevin Butler
750 (University of Florida) and Dave Tian (Purdue University).
751 * Fix side channel in RSA private key operations and static (finite-field)
752 Diffie-Hellman. An adversary with precise enough timing and memory access
753 information (typically an untrusted operating system attacking a secure
754 enclave) could bypass an existing counter-measure (base blinding) and
755 potentially fully recover the private key.
756 * Fix a 1-byte buffer overread in mbedtls_x509_crl_parse_der().
757 Credit to OSS-Fuzz for detecting the problem and to Philippe Antoine
758 for pinpointing the problematic code.
759 * Zeroising of plaintext buffers in mbedtls_ssl_read() to erase unused
760 application data from memory. Reported in #689 by
761 Johan Uppman Bruce of Sectra.
762
763Bugfix
764 * Library files installed after a CMake build no longer have execute
765 permission.
766 * Use local labels in mbedtls_padlock_has_support() to fix an invalid symbol
767 redefinition if the function is inlined.
768 Reported in #3451 and fix contributed in #3452 by okhowang.
769 * Fix the endianness of Curve25519 keys imported/exported through the PSA
770 APIs. psa_import_key and psa_export_key will now correctly expect/output
771 Montgomery keys in little-endian as defined by RFC7748. Contributed by
772 Steven Cooreman in #3425.
773 * Fix build errors when the only enabled elliptic curves are Montgomery
774 curves. Raised by signpainter in #941 and by Taiki-San in #1412. This
775 also fixes missing declarations reported by Steven Cooreman in #1147.
776 * Fix self-test failure when the only enabled short Weierstrass elliptic
777 curve is secp192k1. Fixes #2017.
778 * PSA key import will now correctly import a Curve25519/Curve448 public key
779 instead of erroring out. Contributed by Steven Cooreman in #3492.
780 * Use arc4random_buf on NetBSD instead of rand implementation with cyclical
781 lower bits. Fix contributed in #3540.
782 * Fix a memory leak in mbedtls_md_setup() when using HMAC under low memory
783 conditions. Reported and fix suggested by Guido Vranken in #3486.
784 * Fix bug in redirection of unit test outputs on platforms where stdout is
785 defined as a macro. First reported in #2311 and fix contributed in #3528.
786
787Changes
788 * Only pass -Wformat-signedness to versions of GCC that support it. Reported
789 in #3478 and fix contributed in #3479 by okhowang.
790 * Reduce the stack consumption of mbedtls_x509write_csr_der() which
791 previously could lead to stack overflow on constrained devices.
792 Contributed by Doru Gucea and Simon Leet in #3464.
793 * Undefine the ASSERT macro before defining it locally, in case it is defined
794 in a platform header. Contributed by Abdelatif Guettouche in #3557.
795 * Update copyright notices to use Linux Foundation guidance. As a result,
796 the copyright of contributors other than Arm is now acknowledged, and the
797 years of publishing are no longer tracked in the source files. This also
798 eliminates the need for the lines declaring the files to be part of
799 MbedTLS. Fixes #3457.
800 * Add the command line parameter key_pwd to the ssl_client2 and ssl_server2
801 example applications which allows to provide a password for the key file
802 specified through the existing key_file argument. This allows the use of
803 these applications with password-protected key files. Analogously but for
804 ssl_server2 only, add the command line parameter key_pwd2 which allows to
805 set a password for the key file provided through the existing key_file2
806 argument.

812 key lifetimes to encode a persistence level and the location. Although C
813 prototypes do not effectively change, code calling
814 psa_register_se_driver() must be modified to pass the driver's location
815 instead of the keys' lifetime. If the library is upgraded on an existing
816 device, keys created with the old lifetime value will not be readable or
817 removable through Mbed TLS after the upgrade.

819Features
820 * New functions in the error module return constant strings for
821 high- and low-level error codes, complementing mbedtls_strerror()
822 which constructs a string for any error code, including compound
823 ones, but requires a writable buffer. Contributed by Gaurav Aggarwal
824 in #3176.
825 * The new utility programs/ssl/ssl_context_info prints a human-readable
826 dump of an SSL context saved with mbedtls_ssl_context_save().
827 * Add support for midipix, a POSIX layer for Microsoft Windows.
828 * Add new mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() routine which allows
829 parsing unsupported certificate extensions via user provided callback.
830 Contributed by Nicola Di Lieto <nicola.dilieto@gmail.com> in #3243 as
831 a solution to #3241.
832 * Pass the "certificate policies" extension to the callback supplied to
833 mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() if it contains unsupported
834 policies (#3419).
835 * Added support to entropy_poll for the kern.arandom syscall supported on
836 some BSD systems. Contributed by Nia Alarie in #3423.
837 * Add support for Windows 2000 in net_sockets. Contributed by opatomic. #3239

839Security
840 * Fix a side channel vulnerability in modular exponentiation that could
841 reveal an RSA private key used in a secure enclave. Noticed by Sangho Lee,
842 Ming-Wei Shih, Prasun Gera, Taesoo Kim and Hyesoon Kim (Georgia Institute
843 of Technology); and Marcus Peinado (Microsoft Research). Reported by Raoul
844 Strackx (Fortanix) in #3394.
845 * Fix side channel in mbedtls_ecp_check_pub_priv() and
846 mbedtls_pk_parse_key() / mbedtls_pk_parse_keyfile() (when loading a
847 private key that didn't include the uncompressed public key), as well as
848 mbedtls_ecp_mul() / mbedtls_ecp_mul_restartable() when called with a NULL
849 f_rng argument. An attacker with access to precise enough timing and
850 memory access information (typically an untrusted operating system
851 attacking a secure enclave) could fully recover the ECC private key.
852 Found and reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Brumley.
853 * Fix issue in Lucky 13 counter-measure that could make it ineffective when
854 hardware accelerators were used (using one of the MBEDTLS_SHAxxx_ALT
855 macros). This would cause the original Lucky 13 attack to be possible in
856 those configurations, allowing an active network attacker to recover
857 plaintext after repeated timing measurements under some conditions.
858 Reported and fix suggested by Luc Perneel in #3246.
859
860Bugfix
861 * Fix the Visual Studio Release x64 build configuration for mbedtls itself.
862 Completes a previous fix in Mbed TLS 2.19 that only fixed the build for
863 the example programs. Reported in #1430 and fix contributed by irwir.
864 * Fix undefined behavior in X.509 certificate parsing if the
865 pathLenConstraint basic constraint value is equal to INT_MAX.
866 The actual effect with almost every compiler is the intended
867 behavior, so this is unlikely to be exploitable anywhere. #3192
868 * Fix issue with a detected HW accelerated record error not being exposed
869 due to shadowed variable. Contributed by Sander Visser in #3310.
870 * Avoid NULL pointer dereferencing if mbedtls_ssl_free() is called with a
871 NULL pointer argument. Contributed by Sander Visser in #3312.
872 * Fix potential linker errors on dual world platforms by inlining
873 mbedtls_gcc_group_to_psa(). This allows the pk.c module to link separately
874 from psa_crypto.c. Fixes #3300.
875 * Remove dead code in X.509 certificate parsing. Contributed by irwir in
876 #2855.
877 * Include asn1.h in error.c. Fixes #3328 reported by David Hu.
878 * Fix potential memory leaks in ecp_randomize_jac() and ecp_randomize_mxz()
879 when PRNG function fails. Contributed by Jonas Lejeune in #3318.
880 * Remove unused macros from MSVC projects. Reported in #3297 and fix
881 submitted in #3333 by irwir.
882 * Add additional bounds checks in ssl_write_client_hello() preventing
883 output buffer overflow if the configuration declared a buffer that was
884 too small.
885 * Set _POSIX_C_SOURCE to at least 200112L in C99 code. Reported in #3420 and
886 fix submitted in #3421 by Nia Alarie.
887 * Fix building library/net_sockets.c and the ssl_mail_client program on
888 NetBSD. Contributed by Nia Alarie in #3422.
889 * Fix false positive uninitialised variable reported by cpp-check.
890 Contributed by Sander Visser in #3311.
891 * Update iv and len context pointers manually when reallocating buffers
892 using the MBEDTLS_SSL_VARIABLE_BUFFER_LENGTH feature. This caused issues
893 when receiving a connection with CID, when these fields were shifted
894 in ssl_parse_record_header().
895
896Changes
897 * Fix warnings about signedness issues in format strings. The build is now
898 clean of -Wformat-signedness warnings. Contributed by Kenneth Soerensen
899 in #3153.
900 * Fix minor performance issue in operations on Curve25519 caused by using a
901 suboptimal modular reduction in one place. Found and fix contributed by
902 Aurelien Jarno in #3209.
903 * Combine identical cases in switch statements in md.c. Contributed
904 by irwir in #3208.
905 * Simplify a bounds check in ssl_write_certificate_request(). Contributed
906 by irwir in #3150.
907 * Unify the example programs termination to call mbedtls_exit() instead of
908 using a return command. This has been done to enable customization of the
909 behavior in bare metal environments.
910 * Fix mbedtls_x509_dn_gets to escape non-ASCII characters as "?".
911 Contributed by Koh M. Nakagawa in #3326.
912 * Use FindPython3 when cmake version >= 3.15.0
913 * Abort the ClientHello writing function as soon as some extension doesn't
914 fit into the record buffer. Previously, such extensions were silently
915 dropped. As a consequence, the TLS handshake now fails when the output
916 buffer is not large enough to hold the ClientHello.
917 * The unit tests now rely on header files in tests/include/test and source
918 files in tests/src. When building with make or cmake, the files in
919 tests/src are compiled and the resulting object linked into each test
920 executable.
921 * The ECP module, enabled by `MBEDTLS_ECP_C`, now depends on
922 `MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_C` or `MBEDTLS_HMAC_DRBG_C` for some side-channel
923 coutermeasures. If side channels are not a concern, this dependency can
924 be avoided by enabling the new option `MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_INTERNAL_RNG`.
925 * Align MSVC error flag with GCC and Clang. Contributed by Carlos Gomes
926 Martinho. #3147
927 * Remove superfluous assignment in mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate(). Reported
928 in #3182 and fix submitted by irwir. #3217

934 * Deprecate MBEDTLS_SSL_HW_RECORD_ACCEL that enables function hooks in the
935 SSL module for hardware acceleration of individual records.
936 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len() in favour of
937 mbedtls_ssl_get_output_max_frag_len() and
938 mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() to be more precise about which max

941Security
942 * Fix issue in DTLS handling of new associations with the same parameters
943 (RFC 6347 section 4.2.8): an attacker able to send forged UDP packets to
944 the server could cause it to drop established associations with
945 legitimate clients, resulting in a Denial of Service. This could only
946 happen when MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE was enabled in config.h
947 (which it is by default).
948 * Fix side channel in ECC code that allowed an adversary with access to
949 precise enough timing and memory access information (typically an
950 untrusted operating system attacking a secure enclave) to fully recover
951 an ECDSA private key. Found and reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya,
952 Billy Brumley and Cesar Pereida Garcia. CVE-2020-10932

961Bugfix
962 * Fix compilation failure when both MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_DTLS and
963 MBEDTLS_SSL_HW_RECORD_ACCEL are enabled.
964 * Remove a spurious check in ssl_parse_client_psk_identity that triggered
965 a warning with some compilers. Fix contributed by irwir in #2856.
966 * Fix a function name in a debug message. Contributed by Ercan Ozturk in
967 #3013.
968
969Changes
970 * Mbed Crypto is no longer a Git submodule. The crypto part of the library
971 is back directly in the present repository.
972 * Split mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len() into
973 mbedtls_ssl_get_output_max_frag_len() and
974 mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() to ensure that a sufficient input
975 buffer is allocated by the server (if MBEDTLS_SSL_VARIABLE_BUFFER_LENGTH
976 is defined), regardless of what MFL was configured for it.

984 * Deprecate for MBEDTLS_PKCS11_C, the wrapper around the pkcs11-helper
985 library which allows TLS authentication to use keys stored in a

989 * Fix potential memory overread when performing an ECDSA signature
990 operation. The overread only happens with cryptographically low
991 probability (of the order of 2^-n where n is the bitsize of the curve)
992 unless the RNG is broken, and could result in information disclosure or
993 denial of service (application crash or extra resource consumption).
994 Found by Auke Zeilstra and Peter Schwabe, using static analysis.
995 * To avoid a side channel vulnerability when parsing an RSA private key,
996 read all the CRT parameters from the DER structure rather than
997 reconstructing them. Found by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Bob

1006 * Change the encoding of key types and curves in the PSA API. The new
1007 values are aligned with the upcoming release of the PSA Crypto API
1008 specification version 1.0.0. The main change which may break some
1009 existing code is that elliptic curve key types no longer encode the
1010 exact curve: a psa_ecc_curve_t or psa_key_type_t value only encodes
1011 a curve family and the key size determines the exact curve (for example,
1012 PSA_ECC_CURVE_SECP_R1 with 256 bits is P256R1). ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#330

1030Default behavior changes
1031 * The initial seeding of a CTR_DRBG instance makes a second call to the
1032 entropy function to obtain entropy for a nonce if the entropy size is less
1033 than 3/2 times the key size. In case you want to disable the extra call to
1034 grab entropy, you can call mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len() to force the
1035 nonce length to 0.

1039 MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_BLOCK_SIZE bytes or more from strong sources. In the
1040 default configuration, on a platform with a single entropy source, the
1041 entropy module formerly only grabbed 32 bytes, which is good enough for
1042 security if the source is genuinely strong, but less than the expected 64
1043 bytes (size of the entropy accumulator).
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001044 * Zeroize local variables in mbedtls_internal_aes_encrypt() and
1045 mbedtls_internal_aes_decrypt() before exiting the function. The value of
1046 these variables can be used to recover the last round key. To follow best
1047 practice and to limit the impact of buffer overread vulnerabilities (like
1048 Heartbleed) we need to zeroize them before exiting the function.
1049 Issue reported by Tuba Yavuz, Farhaan Fowze, Ken (Yihang) Bai,

1051 Dave Tian (Purdue University).
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02001052 * Fix side channel vulnerability in ECDSA. Our bignum implementation is not
1053 constant time/constant trace, so side channel attacks can retrieve the
1054 blinded value, factor it (as it is smaller than RSA keys and not guaranteed
1055 to have only large prime factors), and then, by brute force, recover the
1056 key. Reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Brumley.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001057 * Fix side channel vulnerability in ECDSA key generation. Obtaining precise
1058 timings on the comparison in the key generation enabled the attacker to
1059 learn leading bits of the ephemeral key used during ECDSA signatures and to
1060 recover the private key. Reported by Jeremy Dubeuf.

1069 * The CTR_DRBG module can grab a nonce from the entropy source during the
1070 initial seeding. The default nonce length is chosen based on the key size
1071 to achieve the security strength defined by NIST SP 800-90A. You can

1105 * Variables containing error codes are now initialized to an error code
1106 rather than success, so that coding mistakes or memory corruption tends to

Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001140 * When writing a private EC key, use a constant size for the private
1141 value, as specified in RFC 5915. Previously, the value was written
1142 as an ASN.1 INTEGER, which caused the size of the key to leak
1143 about 1 bit of information on average and could cause the value to be
1144 1 byte too large for the output buffer.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02001145 * The deterministic ECDSA calculation reused the scheme's HMAC-DRBG to
1146 implement blinding. Because of this for the same key and message the same
1147 blinding value was generated. This reduced the effectiveness of the
1148 countermeasure and leaked information about the private key through side

1157 an incoming record is valid, authentic and has not been seen before. This
1158 feature can be used alongside Connection ID and SSL context serialisation.
1159 The feature is enabled at compile-time by MBEDTLS_SSL_RECORD_CHECKING

1183 mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det() but allows passing an external RNG for the
1184 purpose of blinding.
1185
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02001186New deprecations
1187 * Deprecate mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det() in favor of a functions that can take an
1188 RNG function as an input.
1189 * Calling mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature() with NULL as the f_rng argument
1190 is now deprecated.

Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02001193 * Fix missing bounds checks in X.509 parsing functions that could
1194 lead to successful parsing of ill-formed X.509 CRTs. Fixes #2437.
1195 * Fix multiple X.509 functions previously returning ASN.1 low-level error
1196 codes to always wrap these codes into X.509 high level error codes before
1197 returning. Fixes #2431.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001198 * Fix to allow building test suites with any warning that detects unused
1199 functions. Fixes #1628.

Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001204 * Fix Visual Studio Release x64 build configuration by inheriting
1205 PlatformToolset from the project configuration. Fixes #1430 reported by
1206 irwir.
1207 * Enable Suite B with subset of ECP curves. Make sure the code compiles even
1208 if some curves are not defined. Fixes #1591 reported by dbedev.
1209 * Fix misuse of signed arithmetic in the HAVEGE module. #2598
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02001210 * Avoid use of statically sized stack buffers for certificate writing.
1211 This previously limited the maximum size of DER encoded certificates
1212 in mbedtls_x509write_crt_der() to 2Kb. Reported by soccerGB in #2631.
1213 * Fix partial zeroing in x509_get_other_name. Found and fixed by ekse, #2716.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001214 * Update test certificates that were about to expire. Reported by
1215 Bernhard M. Wiedemann in #2357.
1216 * Fix the build on ARMv5TE in ARM mode to not use assembly instructions
1217 that are only available in Thumb mode. Fix contributed by Aurelien Jarno
1218 in #2169.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001219 * Fix propagation of restart contexts in restartable EC operations.
1220 This could previously lead to segmentation faults in builds using an
1221 address-sanitizer and enabling but not using MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE.
1222 * Fix memory leak in in mpi_miller_rabin(). Contributed by
1223 Jens Wiklander <jens.wiklander@linaro.org> in #2363

Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001233 * Make it easier to define MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED as assert (which config.h
1234 suggests). #2671
1235 * Make `make clean` clean all programs always. Fixes #1862.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02001236 * Add a Dockerfile and helper scripts (all-in-docker.sh, basic-in-docker.sh,
1237 docker-env.sh) to simplify running test suites on a Linux host. Contributed
1238 by Peter Kolbus (Garmin).
1239 * Add `reproducible` option to `ssl_client2` and `ssl_server2` to enable
1240 test runs without variability. Contributed by Philippe Antoine (Catena
1241 cyber) in #2681.
1242 * Extended .gitignore to ignore Visual Studio artifacts. Fixed by ConfusedSushi.
1243 * Adds fuzz targets, especially for continuous fuzzing with OSS-Fuzz.
1244 Contributed by Philippe Antoine (Catena cyber).
1245 * Remove the crypto part of the library from Mbed TLS. The crypto
1246 code and tests are now only available via Mbed Crypto, which
1247 Mbed TLS references as a Git submodule.

1264 * It is now possible to use NIST key wrap mode via the mbedtls_cipher API.
1265 Contributed by Jack Lloyd and Fortanix Inc.
1266 * Add the Wi-SUN Field Area Network (FAN) device extended key usage.
1267 * Add the oid certificate policy x509 extension.
1268 * It is now possible to perform RSA PKCS v1.5 signatures with RIPEMD-160 digest.
1269 Contributed by Jack Lloyd and Fortanix Inc.
1270 * Extend the MBEDTLS_SSL_EXPORT_KEYS to export the handshake randbytes,
1271 and the used tls-prf.
1272 * Add public API for tls-prf function, according to requested enum.
1273 * Add support for parsing otherName entries in the Subject Alternative Name
1274 X.509 certificate extension, specifically type hardware module name,
1275 as defined in RFC 4108 section 5.
1276 * Add support for parsing certificate policies extension, as defined in
1277 RFC 5280 section 4.2.1.4. Currently, only the "Any Policy" policy is
1278 supported.
1279 * List all SAN types in the subject_alt_names field of the certificate.
1280 Resolves #459.
1281 * Add support for draft-05 of the Connection ID extension, as specified
1282 in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-dtls-connection-id-05.
1283 The Connection ID extension allows to keep DTLS connections beyond the
1284 lifetime of the underlying transport by adding a connection identifier
1285 to the DTLS record header. This identifier can be used to associated an
1286 incoming record with the correct connection data even after the peer has
1287 changed its IP or port. The feature is enabled at compile-time by setting
1288 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID (disabled by default), and at run-time
1289 through the new APIs mbedtls_ssl_conf_cid() and mbedtls_ssl_set_cid().

1297Bugfix
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001298 * Fix private key DER output in the key_app_writer example. File contents
1299 were shifted by one byte, creating an invalid ASN.1 tag. Fixed by
1300 Christian Walther in #2239.
1301 * Fix potential memory leak in X.509 self test. Found and fixed by
1302 Junhwan Park, #2106.
1303 * Reduce stack usage of hkdf tests. Fixes #2195.
1304 * Fix 1-byte buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_write_string() when
1305 used with negative inputs. Found by Guido Vranken in #2404. Credit to
1306 OSS-Fuzz.
1307 * Fix bugs in the AEAD test suite which would be exposed by ciphers which
1308 either used both encrypt and decrypt key schedules, or which perform padding.
1309 GCM and CCM were not affected. Fixed by Jack Lloyd.
1310 * Fix incorrect default port number in ssl_mail_client example's usage.
1311 Found and fixed by irwir. #2337

1313 Fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin). #2579
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001314 * Add missing parentheses around parameters in the definition of the
1315 public macro MBEDTLS_X509_ID_FLAG. This could lead to invalid evaluation
1316 in case operators binding less strongly than subtraction were used
1317 for the parameter.
1318 * Add a check for MBEDTLS_X509_CRL_PARSE_C in ssl_server2, guarding the crl
1319 sni entry parameter. Reported by inestlerode in #560.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02001320 * Set the next sequence of the subject_alt_name to NULL when deleting

1324Changes
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02001325 * Server's RSA certificate in certs.c was SHA-1 signed. In the default
1326 mbedTLS configuration only SHA-2 signed certificates are accepted.
1327 This certificate is used in the demo server programs, which lead the
1328 client programs to fail at the peer's certificate verification
1329 due to an unacceptable hash signature. The certificate has been
1330 updated to one that is SHA-256 signed. Fix contributed by
1331 Illya Gerasymchuk.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001332 * Return from various debugging routines immediately if the
1333 provided SSL context is unset.
1334 * Remove dead code from bignum.c in the default configuration.
1335 Found by Coverity, reported and fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin). Fixes #2309.
1336 * Add test for minimal value of MBEDTLS_MPI_WINDOW_SIZE to all.sh.
1337 Contributed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin).

1343Features
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02001344 * Add a new X.509 API call `mbedtls_x509_parse_der_nocopy()`
1345 which allows copy-less parsing of DER encoded X.509 CRTs,
1346 at the cost of additional lifetime constraints on the input
1347 buffer, but at the benefit of reduced RAM consumption.
1348 * Add a new function mbedtls_asn1_write_named_bitstring() to write ASN.1
1349 named bitstring in DER as required by RFC 5280 Appendix B.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001350 * Add MBEDTLS_REMOVE_3DES_CIPHERSUITES to allow removing 3DES ciphersuites
1351 from the default list (enabled by default). See
1352 https://sweet32.info/SWEET32_CCS16.pdf.
1353
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02001354API Changes
1355 * Add a new X.509 API call `mbedtls_x509_parse_der_nocopy()`.
1356 See the Features section for more information.
1357 * Allow to opt in to the removal the API mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()
1358 for the benefit of saving RAM, by disabling the new compile-time
1359 option MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE (enabled by default for
1360 API stability). Disabling this option makes mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()
1361 always return NULL, and removes the peer_cert field from the
1362 mbedtls_ssl_session structure which otherwise stores the peer's
1363 certificate.
1364
1365Security
1366 * Make mbedtls_ecdh_get_params return an error if the second key
1367 belongs to a different group from the first. Before, if an application
1368 passed keys that belonged to different group, the first key's data was
1369 interpreted according to the second group, which could lead to either
1370 an error or a meaningless output from mbedtls_ecdh_get_params. In the
1371 latter case, this could expose at most 5 bits of the private key.
1372
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001373Bugfix
1374 * Fix a compilation issue with mbedtls_ecp_restart_ctx not being defined
1375 when MBEDTLS_ECP_ALT is defined. Reported by jwhui. Fixes #2242.
1376 * Run the AD too long test only if MBEDTLS_CCM_ALT is not defined.
1377 Raised as a comment in #1996.
1378 * Reduce the stack consumption of mbedtls_mpi_fill_random() which could
1379 previously lead to a stack overflow on constrained targets.
1380 * Add `MBEDTLS_SELF_TEST` for the mbedtls_self_test functions
1381 in the header files, which missed the precompilation check. #971
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02001382 * Fix returning the value 1 when mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey failed.
1383 * Remove a duplicate #include in a sample program. Fixed by Masashi Honma #2326.
1384 * Remove the mbedtls namespacing from the header file, to fix a "file not found"
1385 build error. Fixed by Haijun Gu #2319.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001386 * Fix signed-to-unsigned integer conversion warning
1387 in X.509 module. Fixes #2212.
1388 * Reduce stack usage of `mpi_write_hlp()` by eliminating recursion.
1389 Fixes #2190.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001390 * Fix false failure in all.sh when backup files exist in include/mbedtls
1391 (e.g. config.h.bak). Fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin) #2407.
1392 * Ensure that unused bits are zero when writing ASN.1 bitstrings when using
1393 mbedtls_asn1_write_bitstring().
1394 * Fix issue when writing the named bitstrings in KeyUsage and NsCertType
1395 extensions in CSRs and CRTs that caused these bitstrings to not be encoded
1396 correctly as trailing zeroes were not accounted for as unused bits in the
1397 leading content octet. Fixes #1610.
1398
1399Changes
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02001400 * Reduce RAM consumption during session renegotiation by not storing
1401 the peer CRT chain and session ticket twice.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001402 * Include configuration file in all header files that use configuration,
1403 instead of relying on other header files that they include.
1404 Inserted as an enhancement for #1371
1405 * Add support for alternative CSR headers, as used by Microsoft and defined
1406 in RFC 7468. Found by Michael Ernst. Fixes #767.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02001407 * Correct many misspellings. Fixed by MisterDA #2371.
1408 * Provide an abstraction of vsnprintf to allow alternative implementations
1409 for platforms that don't provide it. Based on contributions by Joris Aerts
1410 and Nathaniel Wesley Filardo.
1411 * Fix clobber list in MIPS assembly for large integer multiplication.
1412 Previously, this could lead to functionally incorrect assembly being
1413 produced by some optimizing compilers, showing up as failures in
1414 e.g. RSA or ECC signature operations. Reported in #1722, fix suggested
1415 by Aurelien Jarno and submitted by Jeffrey Martin.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001416 * Reduce the complexity of the timing tests. They were assuming more than the
1417 underlying OS actually guarantees.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02001418 * Fix configuration queries in ssl-opt.h. #2030
1419 * Ensure that ssl-opt.h can be run in OS X. #2029
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001420 * Re-enable certain interoperability tests in ssl-opt.sh which had previously
1421 been disabled for lack of a sufficiently recent version of GnuTLS on the CI.
1422 * Ciphersuites based on 3DES now have the lowest priority by default when
1423 they are enabled.

1426
1427Features
1428 * Add a new config.h option of MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS that enables validation
1429 of parameters in the API. This allows detection of obvious misuses of the
1430 API, such as passing NULL pointers. The API of existing functions hasn't
1431 changed, but requirements on parameters have been made more explicit in
1432 the documentation. See the corresponding API documentation for each
1433 function to see for which parameter values it is defined. This feature is
1434 disabled by default. See its API documentation in config.h for additional
1435 steps you have to take when enabling it.
1436
1437API Changes
1438 * The following functions in the random generator modules have been
1439 deprecated and replaced as shown below. The new functions change
1440 the return type from void to int to allow returning error codes when
1441 using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT for the underlying AES or message digest
1442 primitive. Fixes #1798.
1443 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update() -> mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret()
1444 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update() -> mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update_ret()
1445 * Extend ECDH interface to enable alternative implementations.
1446 * Deprecate error codes of the form MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx_INVALID_KEY_LENGTH for
1447 ARIA, CAMELLIA and Blowfish. These error codes will be replaced by
1448 the more generic per-module error codes MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx_BAD_INPUT_DATA.
1449 * Additional parameter validation checks have been added for the following
1450 modules - AES, ARIA, Blowfish, CAMELLIA, CCM, GCM, DHM, ECP, ECDSA, ECDH,
1451 ECJPAKE, SHA, Chacha20 and Poly1305, cipher, pk, RSA, and MPI.
1452 Where modules have had parameter validation added, existing parameter
1453 checks may have changed. Some modules, such as Chacha20 had existing
1454 parameter validation whereas other modules had little. This has now been
1455 changed so that the same level of validation is present in all modules, and
1456 that it is now optional with the MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS flag which by default
1457 is off. That means that checks which were previously present by default
1458 will no longer be.
1459
1460New deprecations
1461 * Deprecate mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update
1462 in favor of functions that can return an error code.

1466 assembly for AMD64 targets creating string literals greater than those
1467 permitted by the ISO C99 standard. Found by Aaron Jones. Fixes #482.
1468 * Fix runtime error in `mbedtls_platform_entropy_poll()` when run
1469 through qemu user emulation. Reported and fix suggested by randombit
1470 in #1212. Fixes #1212.
1471 * Fix an unsafe bounds check when restoring an SSL session from a ticket.
1472 This could lead to a buffer overflow, but only in case ticket authentication
1473 was broken. Reported and fix suggested by Guido Vranken in #659.
1474 * Add explicit integer to enumeration type casts to example program
1475 programs/pkey/gen_key which previously led to compilation failure
1476 on some toolchains. Reported by phoenixmcallister. Fixes #2170.
1477 * Fix double initialization of ECC hardware that made some accelerators
1478 hang.

1513 via branching and memory access patterns. An attacker who could submit
1514 a plaintext for RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 decryption but only observe the timing
1515 of the decryption and not its result could nonetheless decrypt RSA
1516 plaintexts and forge RSA signatures. Other asymmetric algorithms may
1517 have been similarly vulnerable. Reported by Eyal Ronen, Robert Gillham,
1518 Daniel Genkin, Adi Shamir, David Wong and Yuval Yarom.
1519 * Wipe sensitive buffers on the stack in the CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG
1520 modules.
1521
1522API Changes
1523 * The new functions mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret() and
1524 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update_ret() are similar to mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update()
1525 and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update() respectively, but the new functions
1526 report errors whereas the old functions return void. We recommend that
1527 applications use the new functions.

1531Security
1532 * Fix overly strict DN comparison when looking for CRLs belonging to a
1533 particular CA. This previously led to ignoring CRLs when the CRL's issuer
1534 name and the CA's subject name differed in their string encoding (e.g.,
1535 one using PrintableString and the other UTF8String) or in the choice of
1536 upper and lower case. Reported by Henrik Andersson of Bosch GmbH in issue
1537 #1784.
1538 * Fix a flawed bounds check in server PSK hint parsing. In case the
1539 incoming message buffer was placed within the first 64KiB of address
1540 space and a PSK-(EC)DHE ciphersuite was used, this allowed an attacker
1541 to trigger a memory access up to 64KiB beyond the incoming message buffer,
1542 potentially leading to an application crash or information disclosure.
1543 * Fix mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() to use more rounds of probabilistic testing. The
1544 previous settings for the number of rounds made it practical for an
1545 adversary to construct non-primes that would be erroneously accepted as
1546 primes with high probability. This does not have an impact on the
1547 security of TLS, but can matter in other contexts with numbers chosen
1548 potentially by an adversary that should be prime and can be validated.
1549 For example, the number of rounds was enough to securely generate RSA key
1550 pairs or Diffie-Hellman parameters, but was insufficient to validate
1551 Diffie-Hellman parameters properly.
1552 See "Prime and Prejudice" by by Martin R. Albrecht and Jake Massimo and
1553 Kenneth G. Paterson and Juraj Somorovsky.
1554
1555Features
1556 * Add support for temporarily suspending expensive ECC computations after
1557 some configurable amount of operations. This is intended to be used in
1558 constrained, single-threaded systems where ECC is time consuming and can
1559 block other operations until they complete. This is disabled by default,
1560 but can be enabled by MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE at compile time and
1561 configured by mbedtls_ecp_set_max_ops() at runtime. It applies to the new
1562 xxx_restartable functions in ECP, ECDSA, PK and X.509 (CRL not supported
1563 yet), and to existing functions in ECDH and SSL (currently only
1564 implemented client-side, for ECDHE-ECDSA ciphersuites in TLS 1.2,
1565 including client authentication).
1566 * Add support for Arm CPU DSP extensions to accelerate asymmetric key
1567 operations. On CPUs where the extensions are available, they can accelerate
1568 MPI multiplications used in ECC and RSA cryptography. Contributed by
1569 Aurelien Jarno.
1570 * Extend RSASSA-PSS signature to allow a smaller salt size. Previously, PSS
1571 signature always used a salt with the same length as the hash, and returned
1572 an error if this was not possible. Now the salt size may be up to two bytes
1573 shorter. This allows the library to support all hash and signature sizes
1574 that comply with FIPS 186-4, including SHA-512 with a 1024-bit key.
1575 * Add support for 128-bit keys in CTR_DRBG. Note that using keys shorter
1576 than 256 bits limits the security of generated material to 128 bits.
1577
1578API Changes
1579 * Add a common error code of `MBEDTLS_ERR_PLATFORM_FEATURE_UNSUPPORTED` for
1580 a feature that is not supported by underlying alternative
1581 implementations implementing cryptographic primitives. This is useful for
1582 hardware accelerators that don't implement all options or features.
1583
1584New deprecations
1585 * All module specific errors following the form
1586 MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE that indicate a feature is not
1587 supported are deprecated and are now replaced by the new equivalent
1588 platform error.
1589 * All module specific generic hardware acceleration errors following the
1590 form MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED that are deprecated and are replaced
1591 by the equivalent plaform error.
1592 * Deprecate the function mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() in favor of
1593 mbedtls_mpi_is_prime_ext() which allows specifying the number of
1594 Miller-Rabin rounds.
1595
1596Bugfix
1597 * Fix wrong order of freeing in programs/ssl/ssl_server2 example
1598 application leading to a memory leak in case both
1599 MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C and MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BACKTRACE are set.
1600 Fixes #2069.
1601 * Fix a bug in the update function for SSL ticket keys which previously
1602 invalidated keys of a lifetime of less than a 1s. Fixes #1968.
1603 * Fix failure in hmac_drbg in the benchmark sample application, when
1604 MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is defined. Found by TrinityTonic, #1095
1605 * Fix a bug in the record decryption routine ssl_decrypt_buf()
1606 which lead to accepting properly authenticated but improperly
1607 padded records in case of CBC ciphersuites using Encrypt-then-MAC.
1608 * Fix memory leak and freeing without initialization in the example
1609 program programs/x509/cert_write. Fixes #1422.
1610 * Ignore IV in mbedtls_cipher_set_iv() when the cipher mode is
1611 MBEDTLS_MODE_ECB. Found by ezdevelop. Fixes #1091.
1612 * Zeroize memory used for buffering or reassembling handshake messages
1613 after use.
1614 * Use `mbedtls_platform_zeroize()` instead of `memset()` for zeroization
1615 of sensitive data in the example programs aescrypt2 and crypt_and_hash.
1616 * Change the default string format used for various X.509 DN attributes to
1617 UTF8String. Previously, the use of the PrintableString format led to
1618 wildcards and non-ASCII characters being unusable in some DN attributes.
1619 Reported by raprepo in #1860 and by kevinpt in #468. Fix contributed by
1620 Thomas-Dee.
1621 * Fix compilation failure for configurations which use compile time
1622 replacements of standard calloc/free functions through the macros
1623 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_CALLOC_MACRO and MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_FREE_MACRO.
1624 Reported by ole-de and ddhome2006. Fixes #882, #1642 and #1706.
1625
1626Changes
1627 * Removed support for Yotta as a build tool.
1628 * Add tests for session resumption in DTLS.
1629 * Close a test gap in (D)TLS between the client side and the server side:
1630 test the handling of large packets and small packets on the client side
1631 in the same way as on the server side.
1632 * Change the dtls_client and dtls_server samples to work by default over
1633 IPv6 and optionally by a build option over IPv4.
1634 * Change the use of Windows threading to use Microsoft Visual C++ runtime
1635 calls, rather than Win32 API calls directly. This is necessary to avoid
1636 conflict with C runtime usage. Found and fixed by irwir.
1637 * Remember the string format of X.509 DN attributes when replicating
1638 X.509 DNs. Previously, DN attributes were always written in their default
1639 string format (mostly PrintableString), which could lead to CRTs being
1640 created which used PrintableStrings in the issuer field even though the
1641 signing CA used UTF8Strings in its subject field; while X.509 compliant,
1642 such CRTs were rejected in some applications, e.g. some versions of
1643 Firefox, curl and GnuTLS. Reported in #1033 by Moschn. Fix contributed by
1644 Thomas-Dee.
1645 * Improve documentation of mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result().
1646 Fixes #517 reported by github-monoculture.
1647 * Add MBEDTLS_MPI_GEN_PRIME_FLAG_LOW_ERR flag to mbedtls_mpi_gen_prime() and
1648 use it to reduce error probability in RSA key generation to levels mandated
1649 by FIPS-186-4.

1652
1653API Changes
1654 * Extend the platform module with an abstraction mbedtls_platform_gmtime_r()
1655 whose implementation should behave as a thread-safe version of gmtime().
1656 This allows users to configure such an implementation at compile time when
1657 the target system cannot be deduced automatically, by setting the option
1658 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_GMTIME_R_ALT. At this stage Mbed TLS is only able to
1659 automatically select implementations for Windows and POSIX C libraries.
1660
1661Bugfix
1662 * Fix build failures on platforms where only gmtime() is available but
1663 neither gmtime_r() nor gmtime_s() are present. Fixes #1907.
1664

1666
1667Security
1668 * Fix an issue in the X.509 module which could lead to a buffer overread
1669 during certificate extensions parsing. In case of receiving malformed
1670 input (extensions length field equal to 0), an illegal read of one byte
1671 beyond the input buffer is made. Found and analyzed by Nathan Crandall.
1672
1673Features
1674 * Add support for fragmentation of outgoing DTLS handshake messages. This
1675 is controlled by the maximum fragment length as set locally or negotiated
1676 with the peer, as well as by a new per-connection MTU option, set using
1677 mbedtls_ssl_set_mtu().
1678 * Add support for auto-adjustment of MTU to a safe value during the
1679 handshake when flights do not get through (RFC 6347, section 4.1.1.1,
1680 last paragraph).
1681 * Add support for packing multiple records within a single datagram,
1682 enabled by default.
1683 * Add support for buffering out-of-order handshake messages in DTLS.
1684 The maximum amount of RAM used for this can be controlled by the
1685 compile-time constant MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_MAX_BUFFERING defined
1686 in mbedtls/config.h.
1687
1688API Changes
1689 * Add function mbedtls_ssl_set_datagram_packing() to configure
1690 the use of datagram packing (enabled by default).
1691
1692Bugfix
1693 * Fix a potential memory leak in mbedtls_ssl_setup() function. An allocation
1694 failure in the function could lead to other buffers being leaked.
1695 * Fixes an issue with MBEDTLS_CHACHAPOLY_C which would not compile if
1696 MBEDTLS_ARC4_C and MBEDTLS_CIPHER_NULL_CIPHER weren't also defined. #1890
1697 * Fix a memory leak in ecp_mul_comb() if ecp_precompute_comb() fails.
1698 Fix contributed by Espressif Systems.
1699 * Add ecc extensions only if an ecc based ciphersuite is used.
1700 This improves compliance to RFC 4492, and as a result, solves
1701 interoperability issues with BouncyCastle. Raised by milenamil in #1157.
1702 * Replace printf with mbedtls_printf in the ARIA module. Found by
1703 TrinityTonic in #1908.
1704 * Fix potential use-after-free in mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len()
1705 and mbedtls_ssl_get_record_expansion() after a session reset. Fixes #1941.
1706 * Fix a bug that caused SSL/TLS clients to incorrectly abort the handshake
1707 with TLS versions 1.1 and earlier when the server requested authentication
1708 without providing a list of CAs. This was due to an overly strict bounds
1709 check in parsing the CertificateRequest message,
1710 introduced in Mbed TLS 2.12.0. Fixes #1954.
1711 * Fix a miscalculation of the maximum record expansion in
1712 mbedtls_ssl_get_record_expansion() in case of ChachaPoly ciphersuites,
1713 or CBC ciphersuites in (D)TLS versions 1.1 or higher. Fixes #1913, #1914.
1714 * Fix undefined shifts with negative values in certificates parsing
1715 (found by Catena cyber using oss-fuzz)
1716 * Fix memory leak and free without initialization in pk_encrypt
1717 and pk_decrypt example programs. Reported by Brace Stout. Fixes #1128.
1718 * Remove redundant else statement. Raised by irwir. Fixes #1776.
1719

1721 * Copy headers preserving timestamps when doing a "make install".
1722 Contributed by xueruini.
1723 * Allow the forward declaration of public structs. Contributed by Dawid
1724 Drozd. Fixes #1215 raised by randombit.
1725 * Improve compatibility with some alternative CCM implementations by using
1726 CCM test vectors from RAM.
1727 * Add support for buffering of out-of-order handshake messages.
1728 * Add warnings to the documentation of the HKDF module to reduce the risk
1729 of misusing the mbedtls_hkdf_extract() and mbedtls_hkdf_expand()
1730 functions. Fixes #1775. Reported by Brian J. Murray.

1734Security
1735 * Fix a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based on CBC and using SHA-384,
1736 in (D)TLS 1.0 to 1.2, that allowed an active network attacker to
1737 partially recover the plaintext of messages under some conditions by
1738 exploiting timing measurements. With DTLS, the attacker could perform
1739 this recovery by sending many messages in the same connection. With TLS
1740 or if mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only
1741 worked if the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly
1742 sent over connections manipulated by the attacker. Connections using GCM
1743 or CCM instead of CBC, using hash sizes other than SHA-384, or using
1744 Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected. The vulnerability was
1745 caused by a miscalculation (for SHA-384) in a countermeasure to the
1746 original Lucky 13 attack. Found by Kenny Paterson, Eyal Ronen and Adi
1747 Shamir.
1748 * Fix a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based on CBC, in (D)TLS 1.0 to
1749 1.2, that allowed a local attacker, able to execute code on the local
1750 machine as well as manipulate network packets, to partially recover the
1751 plaintext of messages under some conditions by using a cache attack
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001752 targeting an internal MD/SHA buffer. With TLS or if
Jens Wiklander3d3b0592019-03-20 15:30:29 +01001753 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only worked if
1754 the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly sent over
1755 connections manipulated by the attacker. Connections using GCM or CCM
1756 instead of CBC or using Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected.
1757 Found by Kenny Paterson, Eyal Ronen and Adi Shamir.
1758 * Add a counter-measure against a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based
1759 on CBC, in (D)TLS 1.0 to 1.2, that allowed a local attacker, able to
1760 execute code on the local machine as well as manipulate network packets,
1761 to partially recover the plaintext of messages under some conditions (see
1762 previous entry) by using a cache attack targeting the SSL input record
1763 buffer. Connections using GCM or CCM instead of CBC or using
1764 Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected. Found by Kenny Paterson,
1765 Eyal Ronen and Adi Shamir.

1768 * Add new crypto primitives from RFC 7539: stream cipher Chacha20, one-time
1769 authenticator Poly1305 and AEAD construct Chacha20-Poly1305. Contributed
1770 by Daniel King.
1771 * Add support for CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites from RFC 7905.
1772 * Add platform support for the Haiku OS. (https://www.haiku-os.org).
1773 Contributed by Augustin Cavalier.
1774 * Make the receive and transmit buffers independent sizes, for situations
1775 where the outgoing buffer can be fixed at a smaller size than the incoming
1776 buffer, which can save some RAM. If buffer lengths are kept equal, there
1777 is no functional difference. Contributed by Angus Gratton, and also
1778 independently contributed again by Paul Sokolovsky.
1779 * Add support for key wrapping modes based on AES as defined by
1780 NIST SP 800-38F algorithms KW and KWP and by RFC 3394 and RFC 5649.
1781

1792 Philippe Antoine. Fixes #1623.
1793 * Remove unused headers included in x509.c. Found by Chris Hanson and fixed
1794 by Brendan Shanks. Part of a fix for #992.
1795 * Fix compilation error when MBEDTLS_ARC4_C is disabled and
1796 MBEDTLS_CIPHER_NULL_CIPHER is enabled. Found by TrinityTonic in #1719.
1797 * Added length checks to some TLS parsing functions. Found and fixed by
1798 Philippe Antoine from Catena cyber. #1663.
1799 * Fix the inline assembly for the MPI multiply helper function for i386 and
1800 i386 with SSE2. Found by László Langó. Fixes #1550
1801 * Fix namespacing in header files. Remove the `mbedtls` namespacing in
1802 the `#include` in the header files. Resolves #857
1803 * Fix compiler warning of 'use before initialisation' in
1804 mbedtls_pk_parse_key(). Found by Martin Boye Petersen and fixed by Dawid
1805 Drozd. #1098
1806 * Fix decryption for zero length messages (which contain all padding) when a
1807 CBC based ciphersuite is used together with Encrypt-then-MAC. Previously,
1808 such a message was wrongly reported as an invalid record and therefore lead
1809 to the connection being terminated. Seen most often with OpenSSL using
1810 TLS 1.0. Reported by @kFYatek and by Conor Murphy on the forum. Fix
1811 contributed by Espressif Systems. Fixes #1632
1812 * Fix ssl_client2 example to send application data with 0-length content
1813 when the request_size argument is set to 0 as stated in the documentation.
1814 Fixes #1833.
1815 * Correct the documentation for `mbedtls_ssl_get_session()`. This API has
1816 deep copy of the session, and the peer certificate is not lost. Fixes #926.

1840 Contributed by Aorimn in pull request #414.
1841 * In TLS servers, support offloading private key operations to an external
1842 cryptoprocessor. Private key operations can be asynchronous to allow
1843 non-blocking operation of the TLS server stack.
1844

1847 curves as well as RSA. Fixes #777 found by dbedev.

1866API Changes
1867 * Extend the platform module with a util component that contains
1868 functionality shared by multiple Mbed TLS modules. At this stage
1869 platform_util.h (and its associated platform_util.c) only contain
1870 mbedtls_platform_zeroize(), which is a critical function from a security
1871 point of view. mbedtls_platform_zeroize() needs to be regularly tested
1872 against compilers to ensure that calls to it are not removed from the
1873 output binary as part of redundant code elimination optimizations.
1874 Therefore, mbedtls_platform_zeroize() is moved to the platform module to
1875 facilitate testing and maintenance.
1876

1888Security
1889 * Fix an issue in the X.509 module which could lead to a buffer overread
1890 during certificate validation. Additionally, the issue could also lead to
1891 unnecessary callback checks being made or to some validation checks to be
1892 omitted. The overread could be triggered remotely, while the other issues
1893 would require a non DER-compliant certificate to be correctly signed by a
1894 trusted CA, or a trusted CA with a non DER-compliant certificate. Found by
1895 luocm. Fixes #825.
1896 * Fix the buffer length assertion in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
1897 function which led to an arbitrary overread of the message buffer. The
1898 overreads could be caused by receiving a malformed message at the point
1899 where an optional signature algorithms list is expected when the signature
1900 algorithms section is too short. In builds with debug output, the overread
1901 data is output with the debug data.
1902 * Fix a client-side bug in the validation of the server's ciphersuite choice
1903 which could potentially lead to the client accepting a ciphersuite it didn't
1904 offer or a ciphersuite that cannot be used with the TLS or DTLS version
1905 chosen by the server. This could lead to corruption of internal data
1906 structures for some configurations.

1912 * Add initial support for Curve448 (RFC 7748). Only mbedtls_ecp_mul() and
1913 ECDH primitive functions (mbedtls_ecdh_gen_public(),
1914 mbedtls_ecdh_compute_shared()) are supported for now. Contributed by
1915 Nicholas Wilson in pull request #348.
1916
1917API Changes
1918 * Extend the public API with the function of mbedtls_net_poll() to allow user
1919 applications to wait for a network context to become ready before reading
1920 or writing.
1921 * Add function mbedtls_ssl_check_pending() to the public API to allow
1922 a check for whether more more data is pending to be processed in the
1923 internal message buffers.
1924 This function is necessary to determine when it is safe to idle on the
1925 underlying transport in case event-driven IO is used.
1926
1927Bugfix
1928 * Fix a spurious uninitialized variable warning in cmac.c. Fix independently
1929 contributed by Brian J Murray and David Brown.
1930 * Add missing dependencies in test suites that led to build failures
1931 in configurations that omit certain hashes or public-key algorithms.
1932 Fixes #1040.
1933 * Fix C89 incompatibility in benchmark.c. Contributed by Brendan Shanks.
1934 #1353
1935 * Add missing dependencies for MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE and
1936 MBEDTLS_VERSION_FEATURES in some test suites. Contributed by
1937 Deomid Ryabkov. Fixes #1299, #1475.
1938 * Fix the Makefile build process for building shared libraries on Mac OS X.
1939 Fixed by mnacamura.
1940 * Fix parsing of PKCS#8 encoded Elliptic Curve keys. Previously Mbed TLS was
1941 unable to parse keys which had only the optional parameters field of the
1942 ECPrivateKey structure. Found by Jethro Beekman, fixed in #1379.
1943 * Return the plaintext data more quickly on unpadded CBC decryption, as
1944 stated in the mbedtls_cipher_update() documentation. Contributed by
1945 Andy Leiserson.
1946 * Fix overriding and ignoring return values when parsing and writing to
1947 a file in pk_sign program. Found by kevlut in #1142.
1948 * Restrict usage of error code MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_READ to situations
1949 where data needs to be fetched from the underlying transport in order
1950 to make progress. Previously, this error code was also occasionally
1951 returned when unexpected messages were being discarded, ignoring that
1952 further messages could potentially already be pending to be processed
1953 in the internal buffers; these cases led to deadlocks when event-driven
1954 I/O was used. Found and reported by Hubert Mis in #772.
1955 * Fix buffer length assertions in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
1956 function which leads to a potential one byte overread of the message
1957 buffer.
1958 * Fix invalid buffer sizes passed to zlib during record compression and
1959 decompression.
1960 * Fix the soversion of libmbedcrypto to match the soversion of the
1961 maintained 2.7 branch. The soversion was increased in Mbed TLS
1962 version 2.7.1 to reflect breaking changes in that release, but the
1963 increment was missed in 2.8.0 and later releases outside of the 2.7 branch.
1964
1965Changes
1966 * Remove some redundant code in bignum.c. Contributed by Alexey Skalozub.
1967 * Support cmake builds where Mbed TLS is a subproject. Fix contributed
1968 independently by Matthieu Volat and Arne Schwabe.
1969 * Improve testing in configurations that omit certain hashes or
1970 public-key algorithms. Includes contributions by Gert van Dijk.
1971 * Improve negative testing of X.509 parsing.
1972 * Do not define global mutexes around readdir() and gmtime() in
1973 configurations where the feature is disabled. Found and fixed by Gergely
1974 Budai.
1975 * Harden the function mbedtls_ssl_config_free() against misuse, so that it
1976 doesn't leak memory if the user doesn't use mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk() and
1977 instead incorrectly manipulates the configuration structure directly.
1978 Found and fix submitted by junyeonLEE in #1220.
1979 * Provide an empty implementation of mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() when
1980 MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C is not enabled. This allows the use of PBKDF2
1981 without PBES2. Fixed by Marcos Del Sol Vives.
1982 * Add the order of the base point as N in the mbedtls_ecp_group structure
1983 for Curve25519 (other curves had it already). Contributed by Nicholas
1984 Wilson #481
1985 * Improve the documentation of mbedtls_net_accept(). Contributed by Ivan
1986 Krylov.
1987 * Improve the documentation of mbedtls_ssl_write(). Suggested by
1988 Paul Sokolovsky in #1356.
1989 * Add an option in the Makefile to support ar utilities where the operation
1990 letter must not be prefixed by '-', such as LLVM. Found and fixed by
1991 Alex Hixon.
1992 * Allow configuring the shared library extension by setting the DLEXT
1993 environment variable when using the project makefiles.
1994 * Optimize unnecessary zeroing in mbedtls_mpi_copy. Based on a contribution
1995 by Alexey Skalozub in #405.
1996 * In the SSL module, when f_send, f_recv or f_recv_timeout report
1997 transmitting more than the required length, return an error. Raised by
1998 Sam O'Connor in #1245.
1999 * Improve robustness of mbedtls_ssl_derive_keys against the use of
2000 HMAC functions with non-HMAC ciphersuites. Independently contributed
2001 by Jiayuan Chen in #1377. Fixes #1437.
2002 * Improve security of RSA key generation by including criteria from
2003 FIPS 186-4. Contributed by Jethro Beekman. #1380
2004 * Declare functions in header files even when an alternative implementation
2005 of the corresponding module is activated by defining the corresponding
2006 MBEDTLS_XXX_ALT macro. This means that alternative implementations do
2007 not need to copy the declarations, and ensures that they will have the
2008 same API.
2009 * Add platform setup and teardown calls in test suites.

2012
2013Default behavior changes
2014 * The truncated HMAC extension now conforms to RFC 6066. This means
2015 that when both sides of a TLS connection negotiate the truncated
2016 HMAC extension, Mbed TLS can now interoperate with other
2017 compliant implementations, but this breaks interoperability with
2018 prior versions of Mbed TLS. To restore the old behavior, enable
2019 the (deprecated) option MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC_COMPAT in
2020 config.h. Found by Andreas Walz (ivESK, Offenburg University of
2021 Applied Sciences).
2022
2023Security
2024 * Fix implementation of the truncated HMAC extension. The previous
2025 implementation allowed an offline 2^80 brute force attack on the
2026 HMAC key of a single, uninterrupted connection (with no
2027 resumption of the session).
2028 * Verify results of RSA private key operations to defend
2029 against Bellcore glitch attack.
2030 * Fix a buffer overread in ssl_parse_server_key_exchange() that could cause
2031 a crash on invalid input.
2032 * Fix a buffer overread in ssl_parse_server_psk_hint() that could cause a
2033 crash on invalid input.
2034 * Fix CRL parsing to reject CRLs containing unsupported critical
2035 extensions. Found by Falko Strenzke and Evangelos Karatsiolis.
2036
2037Features
2038 * Extend PKCS#8 interface by introducing support for the entire SHA
2039 algorithms family when encrypting private keys using PKCS#5 v2.0.
2040 This allows reading encrypted PEM files produced by software that
2041 uses PBKDF2-SHA2, such as OpenSSL 1.1. Submitted by Antonio Quartulli,
2042 OpenVPN Inc. Fixes #1339
2043 * Add support for public keys encoded in PKCS#1 format. #1122
2044
2045New deprecations
2046 * Deprecate support for record compression (configuration option
2047 MBEDTLS_ZLIB_SUPPORT).
2048
2049Bugfix
2050 * Fix the name of a DHE parameter that was accidentally changed in 2.7.0.
2051 Fixes #1358.
2052 * Fix test_suite_pk to work on 64-bit ILP32 systems. #849
2053 * Fix mbedtls_x509_crt_profile_suiteb, which used to reject all certificates
2054 with flag MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_BAD_PK even when the key type was correct.
2055 In the context of SSL, this resulted in handshake failure. Reported by
2056 daniel in the Mbed TLS forum. #1351
2057 * Fix Windows x64 builds with the included mbedTLS.sln file. #1347
2058 * Fix setting version TLSv1 as minimal version, even if TLS 1
2059 is not enabled. Set MBEDTLS_SSL_MIN_MAJOR_VERSION
2060 and MBEDTLS_SSL_MIN_MINOR_VERSION instead of
2061 MBEDTLS_SSL_MAJOR_VERSION_3 and MBEDTLS_SSL_MINOR_VERSION_1. #664
2062 * Fix compilation error on Mingw32 when _TRUNCATE is defined. Use _TRUNCATE
2063 only if __MINGW32__ not defined. Fix suggested by Thomas Glanzmann and
2064 Nick Wilson on issue #355
2065 * In test_suite_pk, pass valid parameters when testing for hash length
2066 overflow. #1179
2067 * Fix memory allocation corner cases in memory_buffer_alloc.c module. Found
2068 by Guido Vranken. #639
2069 * Log correct number of ciphersuites used in Client Hello message. #918
2070 * Fix X509 CRT parsing that would potentially accept an invalid tag when
2071 parsing the subject alternative names.
2072 * Fix a possible arithmetic overflow in ssl_parse_server_key_exchange()
2073 that could cause a key exchange to fail on valid data.
2074 * Fix a possible arithmetic overflow in ssl_parse_server_psk_hint() that
2075 could cause a key exchange to fail on valid data.
2076 * Don't define mbedtls_aes_decrypt and mbedtls_aes_encrypt under
2077 MBEDTLS_DEPRECATED_REMOVED. #1388
2078 * Fix a 1-byte heap buffer overflow (read-only) during private key parsing.
2079 Found through fuzz testing.
2080
2081Changes
2082 * Fix tag lengths and value ranges in the documentation of CCM encryption.
2083 Contributed by Mathieu Briand.
2084 * Fix typo in a comment ctr_drbg.c. Contributed by Paul Sokolovsky.
2085 * Remove support for the library reference configuration for picocoin.
2086 * MD functions deprecated in 2.7.0 are no longer inline, to provide
2087 a migration path for those depending on the library's ABI.
2088 * Clarify the documentation of mbedtls_ssl_setup.
2089 * Use (void) when defining functions with no parameters. Contributed by
2090 Joris Aerts. #678

2094Security
2095 * Fix a heap corruption issue in the implementation of the truncated HMAC
2096 extension. When the truncated HMAC extension is enabled and CBC is used,
2097 sending a malicious application packet could be used to selectively corrupt
2098 6 bytes on the peer's heap, which could potentially lead to crash or remote
2099 code execution. The issue could be triggered remotely from either side in
2100 both TLS and DTLS. CVE-2018-0488
2101 * Fix a buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the hash was too large
2102 for the key size, which could potentially lead to crash or remote code
2103 execution. Found by Seth Terashima, Qualcomm Product Security Initiative,
2104 Qualcomm Technologies Inc. CVE-2018-0487
2105 * Fix buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the unmasked data is all
2106 zeros.
2107 * Fix an unsafe bounds check in ssl_parse_client_psk_identity() when adding
2108 64 KiB to the address of the SSL buffer and causing a wrap around.
2109 * Fix a potential heap buffer overflow in mbedtls_ssl_write(). When the (by
2110 default enabled) maximum fragment length extension is disabled in the
2111 config and the application data buffer passed to mbedtls_ssl_write
2112 is larger than the internal message buffer (16384 bytes by default), the
2113 latter overflows. The exploitability of this issue depends on whether the
2114 application layer can be forced into sending such large packets. The issue
2115 was independently reported by Tim Nordell via e-mail and by Florin Petriuc
2116 and sjorsdewit on GitHub. Fix proposed by Florin Petriuc in #1022.
2117 Fixes #707.
2118 * Add a provision to prevent compiler optimizations breaking the time
2119 constancy of mbedtls_ssl_safer_memcmp().
2120 * Ensure that buffers are cleared after use if they contain sensitive data.
2121 Changes were introduced in multiple places in the library.
2122 * Set PEM buffer to zero before freeing it, to avoid decoded private keys
2123 being leaked to memory after release.
2124 * Fix dhm_check_range() failing to detect trivial subgroups and potentially
2125 leaking 1 bit of the private key. Reported by prashantkspatil.
2126 * Make mbedtls_mpi_read_binary() constant-time with respect to the input
2127 data. Previously, trailing zero bytes were detected and omitted for the
2128 sake of saving memory, but potentially leading to slight timing
2129 differences. Reported by Marco Macchetti, Kudelski Group.
2130 * Wipe stack buffer temporarily holding EC private exponent
2131 after keypair generation.
2132 * Fix a potential heap buffer over-read in ALPN extension parsing
2133 (server-side). Could result in application crash, but only if an ALPN
2134 name larger than 16 bytes had been configured on the server.
2135 * Change default choice of DHE parameters from untrustworthy RFC 5114
2136 to RFC 3526 containing parameters generated in a nothing-up-my-sleeve
2137 manner.
2138
2139Features
2140 * Allow comments in test data files.
2141 * The selftest program can execute a subset of the tests based on command
2142 line arguments.
2143 * New unit tests for timing. Improve the self-test to be more robust
2144 when run on a heavily-loaded machine.
2145 * Add alternative implementation support for CCM and CMAC (MBEDTLS_CCM_ALT,
2146 MBEDTLS_CMAC_ALT). Submitted by Steven Cooreman, Silicon Labs.
2147 * Add support for alternative implementations of GCM, selected by the
2148 configuration flag MBEDTLS_GCM_ALT.
2149 * Add support for alternative implementations for ECDSA, controlled by new
2150 configuration flags MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT, MBEDTLS_ECDSA_VERIFY_ALT and
2151 MBEDTLS_ECDSDA_GENKEY_AT in config.h.
2152 The following functions from the ECDSA module can be replaced
2153 with alternative implementation:
2154 mbedtls_ecdsa_sign(), mbedtls_ecdsa_verify() and mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey().
2155 * Add support for alternative implementation of ECDH, controlled by the
2156 new configuration flags MBEDTLS_ECDH_COMPUTE_SHARED_ALT and
2157 MBEDTLS_ECDH_GEN_PUBLIC_ALT in config.h.
2158 The following functions from the ECDH module can be replaced
2159 with an alternative implementation:
2160 mbedtls_ecdh_gen_public() and mbedtls_ecdh_compute_shared().
2161 * Add support for alternative implementation of ECJPAKE, controlled by
2162 the new configuration flag MBEDTLS_ECJPAKE_ALT.
2163 * Add mechanism to provide alternative implementation of the DHM module.
2164
2165API Changes
2166 * Extend RSA interface by multiple functions allowing structure-
2167 independent setup and export of RSA contexts. Most notably,
2168 mbedtls_rsa_import() and mbedtls_rsa_complete() are introduced for setting
2169 up RSA contexts from partial key material and having them completed to the
2170 needs of the implementation automatically. This allows to setup private RSA
2171 contexts from keys consisting of N,D,E only, even if P,Q are needed for the
2172 purpose or CRT and/or blinding.
2173 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_RSA_ALT can be used to define alternative
2174 implementations of the RSA interface declared in rsa.h.
2175 * The following functions in the message digest modules (MD2, MD4, MD5,
2176 SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) have been deprecated and replaced as shown below.
2177 The new functions change the return type from void to int to allow
2178 returning error codes when using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT.
2179 mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts_ret()
2180 mbedtls_<MODULE>_update() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_update_ret()
2181 mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish_ret()
2182 mbedtls_<MODULE>_process() -> mbedtls_internal_<MODULE>_process()
2183
2184New deprecations
2185 * Deprecate usage of RSA primitives with non-matching key-type
2186 (e.g. signing with a public key).
2187 * Direct manipulation of structure fields of RSA contexts is deprecated.
2188 Users are advised to use the extended RSA API instead.
2189 * Deprecate usage of message digest functions that return void
2190 (mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts, mbedtls_<MODULE>_update,
2191 mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish and mbedtls_<MODULE>_process where <MODULE> is
2192 any of MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) in favor of functions
2193 that can return an error code.
2194 * Deprecate untrustworthy DHE parameters from RFC 5114. Superseded by
2195 parameters from RFC 3526 or the newly added parameters from RFC 7919.
2196 * Deprecate hex string DHE constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P etc.
2197 Supserseded by binary encoded constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P_BIN
2198 etc.
2199 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param() for setting default DHE parameters
2200 from hex strings. Superseded by mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param_bin()
2201 accepting DHM parameters in binary form, matching the new constants.
2202
2203Bugfix
2204 * Fix ssl_parse_record_header() to silently discard invalid DTLS records
2205 as recommended in RFC 6347 Section 4.1.2.7.
2206 * Fix memory leak in mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname() when called multiple times.
2207 Found by projectgus and Jethro Beekman, #836.
2208 * Fix usage help in ssl_server2 example. Found and fixed by Bei Lin.
Jens Wiklander817466c2018-05-22 13:49:31 +02002209 * Parse signature algorithm extension when renegotiating. Previously,
2210 renegotiated handshakes would only accept signatures using SHA-1
2211 regardless of the peer's preferences, or fail if SHA-1 was disabled.
Jens Wiklander3d3b0592019-03-20 15:30:29 +01002212 * Fix leap year calculation in x509_date_is_valid() to ensure that invalid
2213 dates on leap years with 100 and 400 intervals are handled correctly. Found
2214 by Nicholas Wilson. #694
2215 * Fix some invalid RSA-PSS signatures with keys of size 8N+1 that were
2216 accepted. Generating these signatures required the private key.
2217 * Fix out-of-memory problem when parsing 4096-bit PKCS8-encrypted RSA keys.
2218 Found independently by Florian in the mbed TLS forum and by Mishamax.
2219 #878, #1019.
2220 * Fix variable used before assignment compilation warnings with IAR
2221 toolchain. Found by gkerrien38.
2222 * Fix unchecked return codes from AES, DES and 3DES functions in
2223 pem_aes_decrypt(), pem_des_decrypt() and pem_des3_decrypt() respectively.
2224 If a call to one of the functions of the cryptographic primitive modules
2225 failed, the error may not be noticed by the function
2226 mbedtls_pem_read_buffer() causing it to return invalid values. Found by
2227 Guido Vranken. #756
2228 * Include configuration file in md.h, to fix compilation warnings.
2229 Reported by aaronmdjones in #1001
2230 * Correct extraction of signature-type from PK instance in X.509 CRT and CSR
2231 writing routines that prevented these functions to work with alternative
2232 RSA implementations. Raised by J.B. in the Mbed TLS forum. Fixes #1011.
2233 * Don't print X.509 version tag for v1 CRT's, and omit extensions for
2234 non-v3 CRT's.
2235 * Fix bugs in RSA test suite under MBEDTLS_NO_PLATFORM_ENTROPY. #1023 #1024
2236 * Fix net_would_block() to avoid modification by errno through fcntl() call.
2237 Found by nkolban. Fixes #845.
2238 * Fix handling of handshake messages in mbedtls_ssl_read() in case
2239 MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION is disabled. Found by erja-gp.
2240 * Add a check for invalid private parameters in mbedtls_ecdsa_sign().
2241 Reported by Yolan Romailler.
2242 * Fix word size check in in pk.c to not depend on MBEDTLS_HAVE_INT64.
2243 * Fix incorrect unit in benchmark output. #850
2244 * Add size-checks for record and handshake message content, securing
2245 fragile yet non-exploitable code-paths.
2246 * Fix crash when calling mbedtls_ssl_cache_free() twice. Found by
2247 MilenkoMitrovic, #1104
2248 * Fix mbedtls_timing_alarm(0) on Unix and MinGW.
2249 * Fix use of uninitialized memory in mbedtls_timing_get_timer() when reset=1.
2250 * Fix possible memory leaks in mbedtls_gcm_self_test().
2251 * Added missing return code checks in mbedtls_aes_self_test().
2252 * Fix issues in RSA key generation program programs/x509/rsa_genkey and the
2253 RSA test suite where the failure of CTR DRBG initialization lead to
2254 freeing an RSA context and several MPI's without proper initialization
2255 beforehand.
2256 * Fix error message in programs/pkey/gen_key.c. Found and fixed by Chris Xue.
2257 * Fix programs/pkey/dh_server.c so that it actually works with dh_client.c.
2258 Found and fixed by Martijn de Milliano.
2259 * Fix an issue in the cipher decryption with the mode
2260 MBEDTLS_PADDING_ONE_AND_ZEROS that sometimes accepted invalid padding.
2261 Note, this padding mode is not used by the TLS protocol. Found and fixed by
2262 Micha Kraus.
2263 * Fix the entropy.c module to not call mbedtls_sha256_starts() or
2264 mbedtls_sha512_starts() in the mbedtls_entropy_init() function.
2265 * Fix the entropy.c module to ensure that mbedtls_sha256_init() or
2266 mbedtls_sha512_init() is called before operating on the relevant context
2267 structure. Do not assume that zeroizing a context is a correct way to
2268 reset it. Found independently by ccli8 on Github.
2269 * In mbedtls_entropy_free(), properly free the message digest context.
2270 * Fix status handshake status message in programs/ssl/dtls_client.c. Found
2271 and fixed by muddog.
2272
2273Changes
2274 * Extend cert_write example program by options to set the certificate version
2275 and the message digest. Further, allow enabling/disabling of authority
2276 identifier, subject identifier and basic constraints extensions.
2277 * Only check for necessary RSA structure fields in `mbedtls_rsa_private`. In
2278 particular, don't require P,Q if neither CRT nor blinding are
2279 used. Reported and fix proposed independently by satur9nine and sliai
2280 on GitHub.
2281 * Only run AES-192 self-test if AES-192 is available. Fixes #963.
2282 * Tighten the RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification code and remove the
2283 undeclared dependency of the RSA module on the ASN.1 module.
2284 * Update all internal usage of deprecated message digest functions to the
2285 new ones with return codes. In particular, this modifies the
2286 mbedtls_md_info_t structure. Propagate errors from these functions
2287 everywhere except some locations in the ssl_tls.c module.
2288 * Improve CTR_DRBG error handling by propagating underlying AES errors.
2289 * Add MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED error codes for all cryptography
2290 modules where the software implementation can be replaced by a hardware
2291 implementation.
2292 * Add explicit warnings for the use of MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA-1, DES and ARC4
2293 throughout the library.

2297Security
2298 * Fix authentication bypass in SSL/TLS: when authmode is set to optional,
2299 mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result() would incorrectly return 0 when the peer's
2300 X.509 certificate chain had more than MBEDTLS_X509_MAX_INTERMEDIATE_CA
2301 (default: 8) intermediates, even when it was not trusted. This could be
2302 triggered remotely from either side. (With authmode set to 'required'
2303 (the default), the handshake was correctly aborted).
2304 * Reliably wipe sensitive data after use in the AES example applications
2305 programs/aes/aescrypt2 and programs/aes/crypt_and_hash.
2306 Found by Laurent Simon.
2307
2308Features
2309 * Add the functions mbedtls_platform_setup() and mbedtls_platform_teardown()
2310 and the context struct mbedtls_platform_context to perform
2311 platform-specific setup and teardown operations. The macro
2312 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETUP_TEARDOWN_ALT allows the functions to be overridden
2313 by the user in a platform_alt.h file. These new functions are required in
2314 some embedded environments to provide a means of initialising underlying
2315 cryptographic acceleration hardware.
2316
2317API Changes
2318 * Reverted API/ABI breaking changes introduced in mbed TLS 2.5.1, to make the
2319 API consistent with mbed TLS 2.5.0. Specifically removed the inline
2320 qualifier from the functions mbedtls_aes_decrypt, mbedtls_aes_encrypt,
2321 mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_uses_ec and mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_uses_psk. Found
2322 by James Cowgill. #978
2323 * Certificate verification functions now set flags to -1 in case the full
2324 chain was not verified due to an internal error (including in the verify
2325 callback) or chain length limitations.
2326 * With authmode set to optional, the TLS handshake is now aborted if the
2327 verification of the peer's certificate failed due to an overlong chain or
2328 a fatal error in the verify callback.
2329
2330Bugfix
2331 * Add a check if iv_len is zero in GCM, and return an error if it is zero.
2332 Reported by roberto. #716
2333 * Replace preprocessor condition from #if defined(MBEDTLS_THREADING_PTHREAD)
2334 to #if defined(MBEDTLS_THREADING_C) as the library cannot assume they will
2335 always be implemented by pthread support. #696
2336 * Fix a resource leak on Windows platforms in mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path(),
2337 in the case of an error. Found by redplait. #590

2339 Reported and fix suggested by guidovranken. #740
2340 * Fix conditional preprocessor directives in bignum.h to enable 64-bit
2341 compilation when using ARM Compiler 6.
2342 * Fix a potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
2343 encoded X.509 CRLs. The overflow could enable maliciously constructed CRLs
2344 to bypass the version verification check. Found by Peng Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin,
2345 KNOX Security, Samsung Research America
2346 * Fix potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
2347 encoded X.509 CSRs. The overflow could enable maliciously constructed CSRs
2348 to bypass the version verification check. Found by Peng Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin,
2349 KNOX Security, Samsung Research America
2350 * Fix a potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
2351 encoded X.509 certificates. The overflow could enable maliciously

2353 * Fix a call to the libc function time() to call the platform abstraction
2354 function mbedtls_time() instead. Found by wairua. #666
2355 * Avoid shadowing of time and index functions through mbed TLS function
2356 arguments. Found by inestlerode. #557.
2357
2358Changes
2359 * Added config.h option MBEDTLS_NO_UDBL_DIVISION, to prevent the use of
2360 64-bit division. This is useful on embedded platforms where 64-bit division
2361 created a dependency on external libraries. #708
2362 * Removed mutexes from ECP hardware accelerator code. Now all hardware
2363 accelerator code in the library leaves concurrency handling to the
2364 platform. Reported by Steven Cooreman. #863
2365 * Define the macro MBEDTLS_AES_ROM_TABLES in the configuration file
2366 config-no-entropy.h to reduce the RAM footprint.
2367 * Added a test script that can be hooked into git that verifies commits
2368 before they are pushed.
2369 * Improve documentation of PKCS1 decryption functions.

2374 * Fixed unlimited overread of heap-based buffer in mbedtls_ssl_read().
2375 The issue could only happen client-side with renegotiation enabled.
2376 Could result in DoS (application crash) or information leak
2377 (if the application layer sent data read from mbedtls_ssl_read()
2378 back to the server or to a third party). Can be triggered remotely.
2379 * Removed SHA-1 and RIPEMD-160 from the default hash algorithms for
2380 certificate verification. SHA-1 can be turned back on with a compile-time
2381 option if needed.
2382 * Fixed offset in FALLBACK_SCSV parsing that caused TLS server to fail to
2383 detect it sometimes. Reported by Hugo Leisink. #810
2384 * Tighten parsing of RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures, to avoid a
2385 potential Bleichenbacher/BERserk-style attack.
2386
2387Bugfix
2388 * Remove size zero arrays from ECJPAKE test suite. Size zero arrays are not
2389 valid C and they prevented the test from compiling in Visual Studio 2015
2390 and with GCC using the -Wpedantic compilation option.
2391 * Fix insufficient support for signature-hash-algorithm extension,
2392 resulting in compatibility problems with Chrome. Found by hfloyrd. #823
2393 * Fix behaviour that hid the original cause of fatal alerts in some cases
2394 when sending the alert failed. The fix makes sure not to hide the error
2395 that triggered the alert.
2396 * Fix SSLv3 renegotiation behaviour and stop processing data received from
2397 peer after sending a fatal alert to refuse a renegotiation attempt.
2398 Previous behaviour was to keep processing data even after the alert has
2399 been sent.
2400 * Accept empty trusted CA chain in authentication mode

2403 fatal errors in authentication mode MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL and to
2404 reflect bad EC curves within verification result.
2405 * Fix bug that caused the modular inversion function to accept the invalid
2406 modulus 1 and therefore to hang. Found by blaufish. #641.
2407 * Fix incorrect sign computation in modular exponentiation when the base is
2408 a negative MPI. Previously the result was always negative. Found by Guido
2409 Vranken.
2410 * Fix a numerical underflow leading to stack overflow in mpi_read_file()
2411 that was triggered uppon reading an empty line. Found by Guido Vranken.
2412
2413Changes
2414 * Send fatal alerts in more cases. The previous behaviour was to skip
2415 sending the fatal alert and just drop the connection.
2416 * Clarify ECDSA documentation and improve the sample code to avoid
2417 misunderstanding and potentially dangerous use of the API. Pointed out

2432Features
2433 * Add hardware acceleration support for the Elliptic Curve Point module.
2434 This involved exposing parts of the internal interface to enable
2435 replacing the core functions and adding and alternative, module level
2436 replacement support for enabling the extension of the interface.
2437 * Add a new configuration option to 'mbedtls_ssl_config' to enable
2438 suppressing the CA list in Certificate Request messages. The default
2439 behaviour has not changed, namely every configured CAs name is included.
2440
2441API Changes
2442 * The following functions in the AES module have been deprecated and replaced
2443 by the functions shown below. The new functions change the return type from
2444 void to int to allow returning error codes when using MBEDTLS_AES_ALT,
2445 MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT_ALT or MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT_ALT.

2451 recent versions of the library. Found by Kyle Keen.
2452 * Fixed issue in the Threading module that prevented mutexes from
2453 initialising. Found by sznaider. #667 #843
2454 * Add checks in the PK module for the RSA functions on 64-bit systems.
2455 The PK and RSA modules use different types for passing hash length and
2456 without these checks the type cast could lead to data loss. Found by Guido

2462 * Add checks to prevent signature forgeries for very large messages while
2463 using RSA through the PK module in 64-bit systems. The issue was caused by
2464 some data loss when casting a size_t to an unsigned int value in the
2465 functions rsa_verify_wrap(), rsa_sign_wrap(), rsa_alt_sign_wrap() and
2466 mbedtls_pk_sign(). Found by Jean-Philippe Aumasson.
2467 * Fixed potential livelock during the parsing of a CRL in PEM format in
2468 mbedtls_x509_crl_parse(). A string containing a CRL followed by trailing
2469 characters after the footer could result in the execution of an infinite
2470 loop. The issue can be triggered remotely. Found by Greg Zaverucha,
2471 Microsoft.
2472 * Removed MD5 from the allowed hash algorithms for CertificateRequest and
2473 CertificateVerify messages, to prevent SLOTH attacks against TLS 1.2.
2474 Introduced by interoperability fix for #513.
2475 * Fixed a bug that caused freeing a buffer that was allocated on the stack,
2476 when verifying the validity of a key on secp224k1. This could be
2477 triggered remotely for example with a maliciously constructed certificate
2478 and potentially could lead to remote code execution on some platforms.

2484 traversing a chain of trusted CA. The issue would cause both flags,
2485 MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_NOT_TRUSTED and MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_EXPIRED, to be
2486 set when the verification conditions are not met regardless of the cause.

2493 does not define MBEDTLS_PEM_PARSE_C. Found by omnium21. #562
2494 * Fix incorrect renegotiation condition in ssl_check_ctr_renegotiate() that
2495 would compare 64 bits of the record counter instead of 48 bits as indicated
2496 in RFC 6347 Section 4.3.1. This could cause the execution of the

2740 * Added fix for CVE-2015-5291 to prevent heap corruption due to buffer
2741 overflow of the hostname or session ticket. Found by Guido Vranken,
2742 Intelworks.
2743 * Fix potential double-free if mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk() is called more than
2744 once in the same handhake and mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk() was used.
2745 Found and patch provided by Guido Vranken, Intelworks. Cannot be forced

2749 Found by Guido Vranken, Intelworks. Not triggerable remotely.
2750 * Fix potential buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_read_string().
2751 Found by Guido Vranken, Intelworks. Not exploitable remotely in the context
2752 of TLS, but might be in other uses. On 32 bit machines, requires reading a
2753 string of close to or larger than 1GB to exploit; on 64 bit machines, would
2754 require reading a string of close to or larger than 2^62 bytes.
2755 * Fix potential random memory allocation in mbedtls_pem_read_buffer()
2756 on crafted PEM input data. Found and fix provided by Guido Vranken,
2757 Intelworks. Not triggerable remotely in TLS. Triggerable remotely if you
2758 accept PEM data from an untrusted source.
2759 * Fix possible heap buffer overflow in base64_encoded() when the input
2760 buffer is 512MB or larger on 32-bit platforms. Found by Guido Vranken,

2762 * Fix potential double-free if mbedtls_conf_psk() is called repeatedly on
2763 the same mbedtls_ssl_config object and memory allocation fails. Found by
2764 Guido Vranken, Intelworks. Cannot be forced remotely.
2765 * Fix potential heap buffer overflow in servers that perform client
2766 authentication against a crafted CA cert. Cannot be triggered remotely

2802 (MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_HELLO_VERIFY defined in config.h, and usable cookie
2803 callbacks set with mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_cookies()), this will be
2804 detected and mbedtls_ssl_read() will return

2862 * Support for DTLS 1.0 and 1.2 (RFC 6347).
2863 * Ability to override core functions from MDx, SHAx, AES and DES modules
2864 with custom implementation (eg hardware accelerated), complementing the
2865 ability to override the whole module.
2866 * New server-side implementation of session tickets that rotate keys to
2867 preserve forward secrecy, and allows sharing across multiple contexts.
2868 * Added a concept of X.509 cerificate verification profile that controls
2869 which algorithms and key sizes (curves for ECDSA) are acceptable.
2870 * Expanded configurability of security parameters in the SSL module with
2871 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dhm_min_bitlen() and mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_hashes().
2872 * Introduced a concept of presets for SSL security-relevant configuration
2873 parameters.
2874
2875API Changes
2876 * The library has been split into libmbedcrypto, libmbedx509, libmbedtls.
2877 You now need to link to all of them if you use TLS for example.
2878 * All public identifiers moved to the mbedtls_* or MBEDTLS_* namespace.
2879 Some names have been further changed to make them more consistent.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002880 Migration helpers scripts/rename.pl and include/mbedtls/compat-1.3.h are
Jens Wiklander817466c2018-05-22 13:49:31 +02002881 provided. Full list of renamings in scripts/data_files/rename-1.3-2.0.txt
2882 * Renamings of fields inside structures, not covered by the previous list:
2883 mbedtls_cipher_info_t.key_length -> key_bitlen
2884 mbedtls_cipher_context_t.key_length -> key_bitlen
2885 mbedtls_ecp_curve_info.size -> bit_size
2886 * Headers are now found in the 'mbedtls' directory (previously 'polarssl').
2887 * The following _init() functions that could return errors have
2888 been split into an _init() that returns void and another function that
2889 should generally be the first function called on this context after init:
2890 mbedtls_ssl_init() -> mbedtls_ssl_setup()
2891 mbedtls_ccm_init() -> mbedtls_ccm_setkey()
2892 mbedtls_gcm_init() -> mbedtls_gcm_setkey()
2893 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_init() -> mbedtls_hmac_drbg_seed(_buf)()
2894 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_init() -> mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed()
2895 Note that for mbedtls_ssl_setup(), you need to be done setting up the
2896 ssl_config structure before calling it.
2897 * Most ssl_set_xxx() functions (all except ssl_set_bio(), ssl_set_hostname(),
2898 ssl_set_session() and ssl_set_client_transport_id(), plus
2899 ssl_legacy_renegotiation()) have been renamed to mbedtls_ssl_conf_xxx()
2900 (see rename.pl and compat-1.3.h above) and their first argument's type
2901 changed from ssl_context to ssl_config.
2902 * ssl_set_bio() changed signature (contexts merged, order switched, one
2903 additional callback for read-with-timeout).
2904 * The following functions have been introduced and must be used in callback
2905 implementations (SNI, PSK) instead of their *conf counterparts:
2906 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_own_cert()
2907 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_ca_chain()
2908 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk()
2909 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_ca_chain() lost its last argument (peer_cn), now set
2910 using mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname().
2911 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_cache() changed prototype (only one context
2912 pointer, parameters reordered).
2913 * On server, mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets_cb() must now be used in
2914 place of mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets() to enable session tickets.
2915 * The SSL debug callback gained two new arguments (file name, line number).
2916 * Debug modes were removed.
2917 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_truncated_hmac() now returns void.
2918 * mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_init() now returns void.
2919 * X.509 verification flags are now an uint32_t. Affect the signature of:
2920 mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result()
2921 mbedtls_x509_ctr_verify_info()
2922 mbedtls_x509_crt_verify() (flags, f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
2923 mbedtls_ssl_conf_verify() (f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
2924 * The following functions changed prototype to avoid an in-out length
2925 parameter:
2926 mbedtls_base64_encode()
2927 mbedtls_base64_decode()
2928 mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
2929 mbedtls_dhm_calc_secret()
2930 * In the NET module, all "int" and "int *" arguments for file descriptors
2931 changed type to "mbedtls_net_context *".
2932 * net_accept() gained new arguments for the size of the client_ip buffer.
2933 * In the threading layer, mbedtls_mutex_init() and mbedtls_mutex_free() now
2934 return void.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002935 * ecdsa_write_signature() gained an additional md_alg argument and
Jens Wiklander817466c2018-05-22 13:49:31 +02002936 ecdsa_write_signature_det() was deprecated.
2937 * pk_sign() no longer accepts md_alg == POLARSSL_MD_NONE with ECDSA.
2938 * Last argument of x509_crt_check_key_usage() and
2939 mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_key_usage() changed from int to unsigned.
2940 * test_ca_list (from certs.h) is renamed to test_cas_pem and is only
2941 available if POLARSSL_PEM_PARSE_C is defined (it never worked without).
2942 * Test certificates in certs.c are no longer guaranteed to be nul-terminated
2943 strings; use the new *_len variables instead of strlen().
2944 * Functions mbedtls_x509_xxx_parse(), mbedtls_pk_parse_key(),
2945 mbedtls_pk_parse_public_key() and mbedtls_dhm_parse_dhm() now expect the
2946 length parameter to include the terminating null byte for PEM input.
2947 * Signature of mpi_mul_mpi() changed to make the last argument unsigned
2948 * calloc() is now used instead of malloc() everywhere. API of platform
2949 layer and the memory_buffer_alloc module changed accordingly.
2950 (Thanks to Mansour Moufid for helping with the replacement.)
2951 * Change SSL_DISABLE_RENEGOTIATION config.h flag to SSL_RENEGOTIATION
2952 (support for renegotiation now needs explicit enabling in config.h).
2953 * Split MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME into MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME and MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE
2954 in config.h
2955 * net_connect() and net_bind() have a new 'proto' argument to choose
2956 between TCP and UDP, using the macros NET_PROTO_TCP or NET_PROTO_UDP.
2957 Their 'port' argument type is changed to a string.
2958 * Some constness fixes
2959
2960Removals
2961 * Removed mbedtls_ecp_group_read_string(). Only named groups are supported.
2962 * Removed mbedtls_ecp_sub() and mbedtls_ecp_add(), use
2963 mbedtls_ecp_muladd().
2964 * Removed individual mdX_hmac, shaX_hmac, mdX_file and shaX_file functions
2965 (use generic functions from md.h)
2966 * Removed mbedtls_timing_msleep(). Use mbedtls_net_usleep() or a custom
2967 waiting function.
2968 * Removed test DHM parameters from the test certs module.
2969 * Removed the PBKDF2 module (use PKCS5).
2970 * Removed POLARSSL_ERROR_STRERROR_BC (use mbedtls_strerror()).

2973 * Configuration options POLARSSL_HAVE_LONGLONG was removed (now always on).
2974 * Configuration options POLARSSL_HAVE_INT8 and POLARSSL_HAVE_INT16 have
2975 been removed (compiler is required to support 32-bit operations).
2976 * Configuration option POLARSSL_HAVE_IPV6 was removed (always enabled).
2977 * Removed test program o_p_test, the script compat.sh does more.
2978 * Removed test program ssl_test, superseded by ssl-opt.sh.
2979 * Removed helper script active-config.pl
2980
2981New deprecations
2982 * md_init_ctx() is deprecated in favour of md_setup(), that adds a third
2983 argument (allowing memory savings if HMAC is not used)
2984
2985Semi-API changes (technically public, morally private)
2986 * Renamed a few headers to include _internal in the name. Those headers are
2987 not supposed to be included by users.
2988 * Changed md_info_t into an opaque structure (use md_get_xxx() accessors).
2989 * Changed pk_info_t into an opaque structure.
2990 * Changed cipher_base_t into an opaque structure.
2991 * Removed sig_oid2 and rename sig_oid1 to sig_oid in x509_crt and x509_crl.

2993 * Removed r and s from ecdsa_context
2994 * Removed mode from des_context and des3_context
2995
2996Default behavior changes
2997 * The default minimum TLS version is now TLS 1.0.
2998 * RC4 is now blacklisted by default in the SSL/TLS layer, and excluded from the
2999 default ciphersuite list returned by ssl_list_ciphersuites()
3000 * Support for receiving SSLv2 ClientHello is now disabled by default at
3001 compile time.
3002 * The default authmode for SSL/TLS clients is now REQUIRED.
3003 * Support for RSA_ALT contexts in the PK layer is now optional. Since is is
3004 enabled in the default configuration, this is only noticeable if using a
3005 custom config.h
3006 * Default DHM parameters server-side upgraded from 1024 to 2048 bits.
3007 * A minimum RSA key size of 2048 bits is now enforced during ceritificate
3008 chain verification.
3009 * Negotiation of truncated HMAC is now disabled by default on server too.
3010 * The following functions are now case-sensitive:
3011 mbedtls_cipher_info_from_string()
3012 mbedtls_ecp_curve_info_from_name()
3013 mbedtls_md_info_from_string()
3014 mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_from_string()
3015 mbedtls_version_check_feature()
3016
3017Requirement changes
3018 * The minimum MSVC version required is now 2010 (better C99 support).
3019 * The NET layer now unconditionnaly relies on getaddrinfo() and select().
3020 * Compiler is required to support C99 types such as long long and uint32_t.
3021
3022API changes from the 1.4 preview branch
3023 * ssl_set_bio_timeout() was removed, split into mbedtls_ssl_set_bio() with
3024 new prototype, and mbedtls_ssl_set_read_timeout().
3025 * The following functions now return void:
3026 mbedtls_ssl_conf_transport()
3027 mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version()
3028 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version()
3029 * DTLS no longer hard-depends on TIMING_C, but uses a callback interface
3030 instead, see mbedtls_ssl_set_timer_cb(), with the Timing module providing
3031 an example implementation, see mbedtls_timing_delay_context and
3032 mbedtls_timing_set/get_delay().
3033 * With UDP sockets, it is no longer necessary to call net_bind() again
3034 after a successful net_accept().
3035
3036Changes
3037 * mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random() and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_random() are now
3038 thread-safe if MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled.

3062 layer (helps get rid of unwanted references).
3063 * Improved Makefiles for Windows targets by fixing library targets and making
3064 cross-compilation easier (thanks to Alon Bar-Lev).
3065 * The benchmark program also prints heap usage for public-key primitives
3066 if POLARSSL_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C and POLARSSL_MEMORY_DEBUG are defined.
3067 * New script ecc-heap.sh helps measuring the impact of ECC parameters on
3068 speed and RAM (heap only for now) usage.
3069 * New script memory.sh helps measuring the ROM and RAM requirements of two
3070 reduced configurations (PSK-CCM and NSA suite B).
3071 * Add config flag POLARSSL_DEPRECATED_WARNING (off by default) to produce
3072 warnings on use of deprecated functions (with GCC and Clang only).

3087 * mpi_size() and mpi_msb() would segfault when called on an mpi that is
3088 initialized but not set (found by pravic).
3089 * Fix detection of support for getrandom() on Linux (reported by syzzer) by
3090 doing it at runtime (using uname) rather that compile time.

4148 * Added permissive certificate parsing to x509parse_crt() and
4149 x509parse_crtfile(). With permissive parsing the parsing does not stop on
4150 encountering a parse-error. Beware that the meaning of return values has
4151 changed!
4152 * All error codes are now negative. Even on mermory failures and IO errors.
4153

4199 better unsigned / signed use. Renamed internal bigint types
4200 t_int and t_dbl to t_uint and t_udbl in the process
4201 * mpi_init() and mpi_free() now only accept a single MPI
4202 argument and do not accept variable argument lists anymore.
4203 * The error codes have been remapped and combining error codes
4204 is now done with a PLUS instead of an OR as error codes
4205 used are negative.
4206 * Changed behaviour of net_read(), ssl_fetch_input() and ssl_recv().
4207 net_recv() now returns 0 on EOF instead of
4208 POLARSSL_ERR_NET_CONN_RESET. ssl_fetch_input() returns
4209 POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_CONN_EOF on an EOF from its f_recv() function.
4210 ssl_read() returns 0 if a POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_CONN_EOF is received
4211 after the handshake.
4212 * Network functions now return POLARSSL_ERR_NET_WANT_READ or
4213 POLARSSL_ERR_NET_WANT_WRITE instead of the ambiguous
4214 POLARSSL_ERR_NET_TRY_AGAIN

4224
4225Changes
4226 * Debug print of MPI now removes leading zero octets and
4227 displays actual bit size of the value.
4228 * x509parse_key() (and as a consequence x509parse_keyfile())
4229 does not zeroize memory in advance anymore. Use rsa_init()
4230 before parsing a key or keyfile!
4231
4232Bugfix
4233 * Debug output of MPI's now the same independent of underlying
4234 platform (32-bit / 64-bit) (Fixes ticket #19, found by Mads
