5Default behavior changes
6 * The default priority order of TLS 1.3 cipher suites has been modified to
7 follow the same rules as the TLS 1.2 cipher suites (see
8 ssl_ciphersuites.c). The preferred cipher suite is now
9 TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256.
10
11New deprecations
12 * mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial() is now being deprecated in favor of
13 mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial_raw(). The goal here is to remove any
14 direct dependency of X509 on BIGNUM_C.
15 * PSA to mbedtls error translation is now unified in psa_util.h,
16 deprecating mbedtls_md_error_from_psa. Each file that performs error
17 translation should define its own version of PSA_TO_MBEDTLS_ERR,
18 optionally providing file-specific error pairs. Please see psa_util.h for
19 more details.
20
21Features
22 * Added partial support for parsing the PKCS #7 Cryptographic Message
23 Syntax, as defined in RFC 2315. Currently, support is limited to the
24 following:
25 - Only the signed-data content type, version 1 is supported.
26 - Only DER encoding is supported.
27 - Only a single digest algorithm per message is supported.
28 - Certificates must be in X.509 format. A message must have either 0
29 or 1 certificates.
30 - There is no support for certificate revocation lists.
31 - The authenticated and unauthenticated attribute fields of SignerInfo
32 must be empty.
33 Many thanks to Daniel Axtens, Nayna Jain, and Nick Child from IBM for
34 contributing this feature, and to Demi-Marie Obenour for contributing
35 various improvements, tests and bug fixes.
36 * General performance improvements by accessing multiple bytes at a time.
37 Fixes #1666.
38 * Improvements to use of unaligned and byte-swapped memory, reducing code
39 size and improving performance (depending on compiler and target
40 architecture).
41 * Add support for reading points in compressed format
42 (MBEDTLS_ECP_PF_COMPRESSED) with mbedtls_ecp_point_read_binary()
43 (and callers) for Short Weierstrass curves with prime p where p = 3 mod 4
44 (all mbedtls MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP* and MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_BP* curves
45 except MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP224R1 and MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP224K1)
46 * SHA224_C/SHA384_C are now independent from SHA384_C/SHA512_C respectively.
47 This helps in saving code size when some of the above hashes are not
48 required.
49 * Add parsing of V3 extensions (key usage, Netscape cert-type,
50 Subject Alternative Names) in x509 Certificate Sign Requests.
51 * Use HOSTCC (if it is set) when compiling C code during generation of the
52 configuration-independent files. This allows them to be generated when
53 CC is set for cross compilation.
54 * Add parsing of uniformResourceIdentifier subtype for subjectAltName
55 extension in x509 certificates.
56 * Add an interruptible version of sign and verify hash to the PSA interface,
57 backed by internal library support for ECDSA signing and verification.
58 * Add parsing of rfc822Name subtype for subjectAltName
59 extension in x509 certificates.
60 * The configuration macros MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_PLATFORM_FILE and
61 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_STRUCT_FILE specify alternative locations for
62 the headers "psa/crypto_platform.h" and "psa/crypto_struct.h".
63 * When a PSA driver for ECDSA is present, it is now possible to disable
64 MBEDTLS_ECDSA_C in the build in order to save code size. For PK, X.509
65 and TLS to fully work, this requires MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO to be enabled.
66 Restartable/interruptible ECDSA operations in PK, X.509 and TLS are not
67 supported in those builds yet, as driver support for interruptible ECDSA
68 operations is not present yet.
69 * Add a driver dispatch layer for EC J-PAKE, enabling alternative
70 implementations of EC J-PAKE through the driver entry points.
71 * Add new API mbedtls_ssl_cache_remove for cache entry removal by
72 its session id.
73 * Add support to include the SubjectAltName extension to a CSR.
74 * Add support for AES with the Armv8-A Cryptographic Extension on
75 64-bit Arm. A new configuration option, MBEDTLS_AESCE_C, can
76 be used to enable this feature. Run-time detection is supported
77 under Linux only.
78 * When a PSA driver for EC J-PAKE is present, it is now possible to disable
79 MBEDTLS_ECJPAKE_C in the build in order to save code size. For the
80 corresponding TLS 1.2 key exchange to work, MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO needs
81 to be enabled.
82 * Add functions mbedtls_rsa_get_padding_mode() and mbedtls_rsa_get_md_alg()
83 to read non-public fields for padding mode and hash id from
84 an mbedtls_rsa_context, as requested in #6917.
85 * AES-NI is now supported with Visual Studio.
86 * AES-NI is now supported in 32-bit builds, or when MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM
87 is disabled, when compiling with GCC or Clang or a compatible compiler
88 for a target CPU that supports the requisite instructions (for example
89 gcc -m32 -msse2 -maes -mpclmul). (Generic x86 builds with GCC-like
90 compilers still require MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM and a 64-bit target.)
91 * It is now possible to use a PSA-held (opaque) password with the TLS 1.2
92 ECJPAKE key exchange, using the new API function
93 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_ecjpake_password_opaque().
94
95Security
96 * Use platform-provided secure zeroization function where possible, such as
97 explicit_bzero().
98 * Zeroize SSL cache entries when they are freed.
99 * Fix a potential heap buffer overread in TLS 1.3 client-side when
100 MBEDTLS_DEBUG_C is enabled. This may result in an application crash.
101 * Add support for AES with the Armv8-A Cryptographic Extension on 64-bit
102 Arm, so that these systems are no longer vulnerable to timing side-channel
103 attacks. This is configured by MBEDTLS_AESCE_C, which is on by default.
104 Reported by Demi Marie Obenour.
105 * MBEDTLS_AESNI_C, which is enabled by default, was silently ignored on
106 builds that couldn't compile the GCC-style assembly implementation
107 (most notably builds with Visual Studio), leaving them vulnerable to
108 timing side-channel attacks. There is now an intrinsics-based AES-NI
109 implementation as a fallback for when the assembly one cannot be used.
110
111Bugfix
112 * Fix possible integer overflow in mbedtls_timing_hardclock(), which
113 could cause a crash in programs/test/benchmark.
114 * Fix IAR compiler warnings. Fixes #6924.
115 * Fix a bug in the build where directory names containing spaces were
116 causing generate_errors.pl to error out resulting in a build failure.
117 Fixes issue #6879.
118 * In TLS 1.3, when using a ticket for session resumption, tweak its age
119 calculation on the client side. It prevents a server with more accurate
120 ticket timestamps (typically timestamps in milliseconds) compared to the
121 Mbed TLS ticket timestamps (in seconds) to compute a ticket age smaller
122 than the age computed and transmitted by the client and thus potentially
123 reject the ticket. Fix #6623.
124 * Fix compile error where MBEDTLS_RSA_C and MBEDTLS_X509_CRT_WRITE_C are
125 defined, but MBEDTLS_PK_RSA_ALT_SUPPORT is not defined. Fixes #3174.
126 * List PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG in psa/crypto_config.h so that it can
127 be toggled with config.py.
128 * The key derivation algorithm PSA_ALG_TLS12_ECJPAKE_TO_PMS cannot be
129 used on a shared secret from a key agreement since its input must be
130 an ECC public key. Reject this properly.
131 * mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial() now explicitly rejects serial numbers
132 whose binary representation is longer than 20 bytes. This was already
133 forbidden by the standard (RFC5280 - section 4.1.2.2) and now it's being
134 enforced also at code level.
135 * Fix potential undefined behavior in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs(). Reported by
136 Pascal Cuoq using TrustInSoft Analyzer in #6701; observed independently by
137 Aaron Ucko under Valgrind.
138 * Fix behavior of certain sample programs which could, when run with no
139 arguments, access uninitialized memory in some cases. Fixes #6700 (which
140 was found by TrustInSoft Analyzer during REDOCS'22) and #1120.
141 * Fix parsing of X.509 SubjectAlternativeName extension. Previously,
142 malformed alternative name components were not caught during initial
143 certificate parsing, but only on subsequent calls to
144 mbedtls_x509_parse_subject_alt_name(). Fixes #2838.
145 * Make the fields of mbedtls_pk_rsassa_pss_options public. This makes it
146 possible to verify RSA PSS signatures with the pk module, which was
147 inadvertently broken since Mbed TLS 3.0.
148 * Fix bug in conversion from OID to string in
149 mbedtls_oid_get_numeric_string(). OIDs such as 2.40.0.25 are now printed
150 correctly.
151 * Reject OIDs with overlong-encoded subidentifiers when converting
152 them to a string.
153 * Reject OIDs with subidentifier values exceeding UINT_MAX. Such
154 subidentifiers can be valid, but Mbed TLS cannot currently handle them.
155 * Reject OIDs that have unterminated subidentifiers, or (equivalently)
156 have the most-significant bit set in their last byte.
157 * Silence warnings from clang -Wdocumentation about empty \retval
158 descriptions, which started appearing with Clang 15. Fixes #6960.
159 * Fix the handling of renegotiation attempts in TLS 1.3. They are now
160 systematically rejected.
161 * Fix an unused-variable warning in TLS 1.3-only builds if
162 MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION was enabled. Fixes #6200.
163 * Fix undefined behavior in mbedtls_ssl_read() and mbedtls_ssl_write() if
164 len argument is 0 and buffer is NULL.
165 * Allow setting user and peer identifiers for EC J-PAKE operation
166 instead of role in PAKE PSA Crypto API as described in the specification.
167 This is a partial fix that allows only "client" and "server" identifiers.
168 * Fix a compilation error when PSA Crypto is built with support for
169 TLS12_PRF but not TLS12_PSK_TO_MS. Reported by joerchan in #7125.
170 * In the TLS 1.3 server, select the preferred client cipher suite, not the
171 least preferred. The selection error was introduced in Mbed TLS 3.3.0.
172 * Fix TLS 1.3 session resumption when the established pre-shared key is
173 384 bits long. That is the length of pre-shared keys created under a
174 session where the cipher suite is TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384.
175 * Fix an issue when compiling with MBEDTLS_SHA512_USE_A64_CRYPTO_IF_PRESENT
176 enabled, which required specifying compiler flags enabling SHA3 Crypto
177 Extensions, where some compilers would emit EOR3 instructions in other
178 modules, which would then fail if run on a CPU without the SHA3
179 extensions. Fixes #5758.
180
181Changes
182 * Install the .cmake files into CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR/cmake/MbedTLS,
183 typically /usr/lib/cmake/MbedTLS.
184 * Mixed-endian systems are explicitly not supported any more.
185 * When MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO and MBEDTLS_ECDSA_DETERMINISTIC are both
186 defined, mbedtls_pk_sign() now use deterministic ECDSA for ECDSA
187 signatures. This aligns the behaviour with MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO to
188 the behaviour without it, where deterministic ECDSA was already used.
189 * Visual Studio: Rename the directory containing Visual Studio files from
190 visualc/VS2010 to visualc/VS2013 as we do not support building with versions
191 older than 2013. Update the solution file to specify VS2013 as a minimum.
192 * programs/x509/cert_write:
193 - now it accepts the serial number in 2 different formats: decimal and
194 hex. They cannot be used simultaneously
195 - "serial" is used for the decimal format and it's limted in size to
196 unsigned long long int
197 - "serial_hex" is used for the hex format; max length here is
198 MBEDTLS_X509_RFC5280_MAX_SERIAL_LEN*2
199 * The C code follows a new coding style. This is transparent for users but
200 affects contributors and maintainers of local patches. For more
201 information, see
202 https://mbed-tls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kb/how-to/rewrite-branch-for-coding-style/
203 * Changed the default MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE from 6 to 2.
204 As tested in issue 6790, the correlation between this define and
205 RSA decryption performance has changed lately due to security fixes.
206 To fix the performance degradation when using default values the
207 window was reduced from 6 to 2, a value that gives the best or close
208 to best results when tested on Cortex-M4 and Intel i7.
209 * When enabling MBEDTLS_SHA256_USE_A64_CRYPTO_* or
210 MBEDTLS_SHA512_USE_A64_CRYPTO_*, it is no longer necessary to specify
211 compiler target flags on the command line; the library now sets target
212 options within the appropriate modules.
213
214= Mbed TLS 3.3.0 branch released 2022-12-14
215
216Default behavior changes
217 * Previously the macro MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID implemented version 05
218 of the IETF draft, and was marked experimental and disabled by default.
219 It is now no longer experimental, and implements the final version from
220 RFC 9146, which is not interoperable with the draft-05 version.
221 If you need to communicate with peers that use earlier versions of
222 Mbed TLS, then you need to define MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID_COMPAT
223 to 1, but then you won't be able to communicate with peers that use the
224 standard (non-draft) version.
225 If you need to interoperate with both classes of peers with the
226 same build of Mbed TLS, please let us know about your situation on the
227 mailing list or GitHub.
228
229Requirement changes
230 * When building with PSA drivers using generate_driver_wrappers.py, or
231 when building the library from the development branch rather than
232 from a release, the Python module jsonschema is now necessary, in
233 addition to jinja2. The official list of required Python modules is
234 maintained in scripts/basic.requirements.txt and may change again
235 in the future.
236
237New deprecations
238 * Deprecate mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data().
239 Use mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list()
240 or mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list_shallow().
241
242Features
243 * Support rsa_pss_rsae_* signature algorithms in TLS 1.2.
244 * make: enable building unversioned shared library, with e.g.:
245 "SHARED=1 SOEXT_TLS=so SOEXT_X509=so SOEXT_CRYPTO=so make lib"
246 resulting in library names like "libmbedtls.so" rather than
247 "libmbedcrypto.so.11".
248 * Expose the EC J-PAKE functionality through the Draft PSA PAKE Crypto API.
249 Only the ECC primitive with secp256r1 curve and SHA-256 hash algorithm
250 are supported in this implementation.
251 * Some modules can now use PSA drivers for hashes, including with no
252 built-in implementation present, but only in some configurations.
253 - RSA OAEP and PSS (PKCS#1 v2.1), PKCS5, PKCS12 and EC J-PAKE now use
254 hashes from PSA when (and only when) MBEDTLS_MD_C is disabled.
255 - PEM parsing of encrypted files now uses MD-5 from PSA when (and only
256 when) MBEDTLS_MD5_C is disabled.
257 See the documentation of the corresponding macros in mbedtls_config.h for
258 details.
259 Note that some modules are not able to use hashes from PSA yet, including
260 the entropy module. As a consequence, for now the only way to build with
261 all hashes only provided by drivers (no built-in hash) is to use
262 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG.
263 * When MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled, X.509, TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 now
264 properly negotiate/accept hashes based on their availability in PSA.
265 As a consequence, they now work in configurations where the built-in
266 implementations of (some) hashes are excluded and those hashes are only
267 provided by PSA drivers. (See previous entry for limitation on RSA-PSS
268 though: that module only use hashes from PSA when MBEDTLS_MD_C is off).
269 * Add support for opaque keys as the private keys associated to certificates
270 for authentication in TLS 1.3.
271 * Add the LMS post-quantum-safe stateful-hash asymmetric signature scheme.
272 Signature verification is production-ready, but generation is for testing
273 purposes only. This currently only supports one parameter set
274 (LMS_SHA256_M32_H10), meaning that each private key can be used to sign
275 1024 messages. As such, it is not intended for use in TLS, but instead
276 for verification of assets transmitted over an insecure channel,
277 particularly firmware images.
278 * Add the LM-OTS post-quantum-safe one-time signature scheme, which is
279 required for LMS. This can be used independently, but each key can only
280 be used to sign one message so is impractical for most circumstances.
281 * Mbed TLS now supports TLS 1.3 key establishment via pre-shared keys.
282 The pre-shared keys can be provisioned externally or via the ticket
283 mechanism (session resumption).
284 The ticket mechanism is supported when the configuration option
285 MBEDTLS_SSL_SESSION_TICKETS is enabled.
286 New options MBEDTLS_SSL_TLS1_3_KEY_EXCHANGE_MODE_xxx_ENABLED
287 control the support for the three possible TLS 1.3 key exchange modes.
288 * cert_write: support for setting extended key usage attributes. A
289 corresponding new public API call has been added in the library,
290 mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_ext_key_usage().
291 * cert_write: support for writing certificate files in either PEM
292 or DER format.
293 * The PSA driver wrapper generator generate_driver_wrappers.py now
294 supports a subset of the driver description language, including
295 the following entry points: import_key, export_key, export_public_key,
296 get_builtin_key, copy_key.
297 * The new functions mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list() and
298 mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list_shallow() simplify the management
299 of memory in named data lists in X.509 structures.
300 * The TLS 1.2 EC J-PAKE key exchange can now use the PSA Crypto API.
301 Additional PSA key slots will be allocated in the process of such key
302 exchange for builds that enable MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECJPAKE_ENABLED and
303 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO.
304 * Add support for DTLS Connection ID as defined by RFC 9146, controlled by
305 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID (enabled by default) and configured with
306 mbedtls_ssl_set_cid().
307 * Add a driver dispatch layer for raw key agreement, enabling alternative
308 implementations of raw key agreement through the key_agreement driver
309 entry point. This entry point is specified in the proposed PSA driver
310 interface, but had not yet been implemented.
311 * Add an ad-hoc key derivation function handling EC J-PAKE to PMS
312 calculation that can be used to derive the session secret in TLS 1.2,
313 as described in draft-cragie-tls-ecjpake-01. This can be achieved by
314 using PSA_ALG_TLS12_ECJPAKE_TO_PMS as the key derivation algorithm.
315
316Security
317 * Fix potential heap buffer overread and overwrite in DTLS if
318 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID is enabled and
319 MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_IN_LEN_MAX > 2 * MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_OUT_LEN_MAX.
320 * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough information
321 about memory accesses (typically, an untrusted operating system attacking
322 a secure enclave) could recover an RSA private key after observing the
323 victim performing a single private-key operation if the window size used
324 for the exponentiation was 3 or smaller. Found and reported by Zili KOU,
325 Wenjian HE, Sharad Sinha, and Wei ZHANG. See "Cache Side-channel Attacks
326 and Defenses of the Sliding Window Algorithm in TEEs" - Design, Automation
327 and Test in Europe 2023.
328
329Bugfix
330 * Refactor mbedtls_aes_context to support shallow-copying. Fixes #2147.
331 * Fix an issue with in-tree CMake builds in releases with GEN_FILES
332 turned off: if a shipped file was missing from the working directory,
333 it could be turned into a symbolic link to itself.
334 * Fix a long-standing build failure when building x86 PIC code with old
335 gcc (4.x). The code will be slower, but will compile. We do however
336 recommend upgrading to a more recent compiler instead. Fixes #1910.
337 * Fix support for little-endian Microblaze when MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM is defined.
338 Contributed by Kazuyuki Kimura to fix #2020.
339 * Use double quotes to include private header file psa_crypto_cipher.h.
340 Fixes 'file not found with <angled> include' error
341 when building with Xcode.
342 * Fix handling of broken symlinks when loading certificates using
343 mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path(). Instead of returning an error as soon as a
344 broken link is encountered, skip the broken link and continue parsing
345 other certificate files. Contributed by Eduardo Silva in #2602.
346 * Fix an interoperability failure between an Mbed TLS client with both
347 TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 support, and a TLS 1.2 server that supports
348 rsa_pss_rsae_* signature algorithms. This failed because Mbed TLS
349 advertised support for PSS in both TLS 1.2 and 1.3, but only
350 actually supported PSS in TLS 1.3.
351 * Fix a compilation error when using CMake with an IAR toolchain.
352 Fixes #5964.
353 * Fix a build error due to a missing prototype warning when
354 MBEDTLS_DEPRECATED_REMOVED is enabled.
355 * Fix mbedtls_ctr_drbg_free() on an initialized but unseeded context. When
356 MBEDTLS_AES_ALT is enabled, it could call mbedtls_aes_free() on an
357 uninitialized context.
358 * Fix a build issue on Windows using CMake where the source and build
359 directories could not be on different drives. Fixes #5751.
360 * Fix bugs and missing dependencies when building and testing
361 configurations with only one encryption type enabled in TLS 1.2.
362 * Provide the missing definition of mbedtls_setbuf() in some configurations
363 with MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_C disabled. Fixes #6118, #6196.
364 * Fix compilation errors when trying to build with
365 PSA drivers for AEAD (GCM, CCM, Chacha20-Poly1305).
366 * Fix memory leak in ssl_parse_certificate_request() caused by
367 mbedtls_x509_get_name() not freeing allocated objects in case of error.
368 Change mbedtls_x509_get_name() to clean up allocated objects on error.
369 * Fix build failure with MBEDTLS_RSA_C and MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C but not
370 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO or MBEDTLS_PK_WRITE_C. Fixes #6408.
371 * Fix build failure with MBEDTLS_RSA_C and MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C but not
372 MBEDTLS_PK_PARSE_C. Fixes #6409.
373 * Fix ECDSA verification, where it was not always validating the
374 public key. This bug meant that it was possible to verify a
375 signature with an invalid public key, in some cases. Reported by
376 Guido Vranken using Cryptofuzz in #4420.
377 * Fix a possible null pointer dereference if a memory allocation fails
378 in TLS PRF code. Reported by Michael Madsen in #6516.
379 * Fix TLS 1.3 session resumption. Fixes #6488.
380 * Add a configuration check to exclude optional client authentication
381 in TLS 1.3 (where it is forbidden).
382 * Fix a bug in which mbedtls_x509_crt_info() would produce non-printable
383 bytes when parsing certificates containing a binary RFC 4108
384 HardwareModuleName as a Subject Alternative Name extension. Hardware
385 serial numbers are now rendered in hex format. Fixes #6262.
386 * Fix bug in error reporting in dh_genprime.c where upon failure,
387 the error code returned by mbedtls_mpi_write_file() is overwritten
388 and therefore not printed.
389 * In the bignum module, operations of the form (-A) - (+A) or (-A) - (-A)
390 with A > 0 created an unintended representation of the value 0 which was
391 not processed correctly by some bignum operations. Fix this. This had no
392 consequence on cryptography code, but might affect applications that call
393 bignum directly and use negative numbers.
394 * Fix a bug whereby the list of signature algorithms sent as part of
395 the TLS 1.2 server certificate request would get corrupted, meaning the
396 first algorithm would not get sent and an entry consisting of two random
397 bytes would be sent instead. Found by Serban Bejan and Dudek Sebastian.
398 * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) of
399 mbedtls_mpi_add_mpi(), mbedtls_mpi_add_abs() and mbedtls_mpi_add_int()
400 when both operands are 0 and the left operand is represented with 0 limbs.
401 * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) when some bignum
402 functions receive the most negative value of mbedtls_mpi_sint. Credit
403 to OSS-Fuzz. Fixes #6597.
404 * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) in PSA ECB
405 encryption and decryption.
406 * Move some SSL-specific code out of libmbedcrypto where it had been placed
407 accidentally.
408 * Fix a build error when compiling the bignum module for some Arm platforms.
409 Fixes #6089, #6124, #6217.
410
411Changes
412 * Add the ability to query PSA_WANT_xxx macros to query_compile_time_config.
413 * Calling AEAD tag-specific functions for non-AEAD algorithms (which
414 should not be done - they are documented for use only by AES-GCM and
415 ChaCha20+Poly1305) now returns MBEDTLS_ERR_CIPHER_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE
416 instead of success (0).

425Default behavior changes
426 * mbedtls_cipher_set_iv will now fail with ChaCha20 and ChaCha20+Poly1305
427 for IV lengths other than 12. The library was silently overwriting this
428 length with 12, but did not inform the caller about it. Fixes #4301.
429
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200430Requirement changes
431 * The library will no longer compile out of the box on a platform without
432 setbuf(). If your platform does not have setbuf(), you can configure an
433 alternative function by enabling MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETBUF_ALT or
434 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETBUF_MACRO.
435
436New deprecations
437 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version() and
438 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version() in favor of
439 mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_tls_version() and
440 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_tls_version().
441 * Deprecate mbedtls_cipher_setup_psa(). Use psa_aead_xxx() or
442 psa_cipher_xxx() directly instead.
443 * Secure element drivers enabled by MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C are deprecated.
444 This was intended as an experimental feature, but had not been explicitly
445 documented as such. Use opaque drivers with the interface enabled by
446 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVERS instead.
447 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_hashes() in favor of the more generic
448 mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_algs(). Signature algorithms for the TLS 1.2 and
449 TLS 1.3 handshake should now be configured with
450 mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_algs().

Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200452Features
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200453 * Add accessor to obtain ciphersuite id from ssl context.
454 * Add accessors to get members from ciphersuite info.
455 * Add mbedtls_ssl_ticket_rotate() for external ticket rotation.
456 * Add accessor to get the raw buffer pointer from a PEM context.
457 * The structures mbedtls_ssl_config and mbedtls_ssl_context now store
458 a piece of user data which is reserved for the application. The user
459 data can be either a pointer or an integer.
460 * Add an accessor function to get the configuration associated with
461 an SSL context.
462 * Add a function to access the protocol version from an SSL context in a
463 form that's easy to compare. Fixes #5407.
464 * Add function mbedtls_md_info_from_ctx() to recall the message digest
465 information that was used to set up a message digest context.
466 * Add ALPN support in TLS 1.3 clients.
467 * Add server certificate selection callback near end of Client Hello.
468 Register callback with mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_cb().
469 * Provide mechanism to reset handshake cert list by calling
470 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_own_cert() with NULL value for own_cert param.
471 * Add accessor mbedtls_ssl_get_hs_sni() to retrieve SNI from within
472 cert callback (mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_cb()) during handshake.
473 * The X.509 module now uses PSA hash acceleration if present.
474 * Add support for psa crypto key derivation for elliptic curve
475 keys. Fixes #3260.
476 * Add function mbedtls_timing_get_final_delay() to access the private
477 final delay field in an mbedtls_timing_delay_context, as requested in
478 #5183.
479 * Add mbedtls_pk_sign_ext() which allows generating RSA-PSS signatures when
480 PSA Crypto is enabled.
481 * Add function mbedtls_ecp_export() to export ECP key pair parameters.
482 Fixes #4838.
483 * Add function mbedtls_ssl_is_handshake_over() to enable querying if the SSL
484 Handshake has completed or not, and thus whether to continue calling
485 mbedtls_ssl_handshake_step(), requested in #4383.
486 * Add the function mbedtls_ssl_get_own_cid() to access our own connection id
487 within mbedtls_ssl_context, as requested in #5184.
488 * Introduce mbedtls_ssl_hs_cb_t typedef for use with
489 mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_cb() and perhaps future callbacks
490 during TLS handshake.
491 * Add functions mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_tls_version() and
492 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_tls_version() that use a single value to specify
493 the protocol version.
494 * Extend the existing PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS() algorithm to support
495 mixed-PSK. Add an optional input PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_OTHER_SECRET
496 holding the other secret.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200497 * When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is enabled, you may list the PSA crypto
498 feature requirements in the file named by the new macro
499 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG_FILE instead of the default psa/crypto_config.h.
500 Furthermore you may name an additional file to include after the main
501 file with the macro MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_USER_CONFIG_FILE.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200502 * Add the function mbedtls_x509_crt_has_ext_type() to access the ext types
503 field within mbedtls_x509_crt context, as requested in #5585.
504 * Add HKDF-Expand and HKDF-Extract as separate algorithms in the PSA API.
505 * Add support for the ARMv8 SHA-2 acceleration instructions when building
506 for Aarch64.
507 * Add support for authentication of TLS 1.3 clients by TLS 1.3 servers.
508 * Add support for server HelloRetryRequest message. The TLS 1.3 client is
509 now capable of negotiating another shared secret if the one sent in its
510 first ClientHello was not suitable to the server.
511 * Add support for client-side TLS version negotiation. If both TLS 1.2 and
512 TLS 1.3 protocols are enabled in the build of Mbed TLS, the TLS client now
513 negotiates TLS 1.3 or TLS 1.2 with TLS servers.
514 * Enable building of Mbed TLS with TLS 1.3 protocol support but without TLS
515 1.2 protocol support.
516 * Mbed TLS provides an implementation of a TLS 1.3 server (ephemeral key
517 establishment only). See docs/architecture/tls13-support.md for a
518 description of the support. The MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3 and
519 MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_C configuration options control this.
520 * Add accessors to configure DN hints for certificate request:
521 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dn_hints() and mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_dn_hints()
522 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO, which previously
523 affected only a limited subset of crypto operations in TLS, X.509 and PK,
524 now causes most of them to be done using PSA Crypto; see
525 docs/use-psa-crypto.md for the list of exceptions.
526 * The function mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque() now supports RSA key pairs as well.
527 Opaque keys can now be used everywhere a private key is expected in the
528 TLS and X.509 modules.
529 * Opaque pre-shared keys for TLS, provisioned with
530 mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk_opaque() or mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk_opaque(), which
531 previously only worked for "pure" PSK key exchange, now can also be used
532 for the "mixed" PSK key exchanges as well: ECDHE-PSK, DHE-PSK, RSA-PSK.
533 * cmake now detects if it is being built as a sub-project, and in that case
534 disables the target export/installation and package configuration.
535 * Make USE_PSA_CRYPTO compatible with KEY_ID_ENCODES_OWNER. Fixes #5259.
536 * Add example programs cipher_aead_demo.c, md_hmac_demo.c, aead_demo.c
537 and hmac_demo.c, which use PSA and the md/cipher interfaces side
538 by side in order to illustrate how the operation is performed in PSA.
539 Addresses #5208.

541Security
542 * Zeroize dynamically-allocated buffers used by the PSA Crypto key storage
543 module before freeing them. These buffers contain secret key material, and
544 could thus potentially leak the key through freed heap.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200545 * Fix potential memory leak inside mbedtls_ssl_cache_set() with
546 an invalid session id length.
547 * Add the platform function mbedtls_setbuf() to allow buffering to be
548 disabled on stdio files, to stop secrets loaded from said files being
549 potentially left in memory after file operations. Reported by
550 Glenn Strauss.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200551 * Fix a potential heap buffer overread in TLS 1.2 server-side when
552 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled, an opaque key (created with
553 mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque()) is provisioned, and a static ECDH ciphersuite
554 is selected. This may result in an application crash or potentially an
555 information leak.
556 * Fix a buffer overread in DTLS ClientHello parsing in servers with
557 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE enabled. An unauthenticated client
558 or a man-in-the-middle could cause a DTLS server to read up to 255 bytes
559 after the end of the SSL input buffer. The buffer overread only happens
560 when MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN is less than a threshold that depends on
561 the exact configuration: 258 bytes if using mbedtls_ssl_cookie_check(),
562 and possibly up to 571 bytes with a custom cookie check function.
563 Reported by the Cybeats PSI Team.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200564 * Fix a buffer overread in TLS 1.3 Certificate parsing. An unauthenticated
565 client or server could cause an MbedTLS server or client to overread up
566 to 64 kBytes of data and potentially overread the input buffer by that
567 amount minus the size of the input buffer. As overread data undergoes
568 various checks, the likelihood of reaching the boundary of the input
569 buffer is rather small but increases as its size
570 MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN decreases.
571 * Fix check of certificate key usage in TLS 1.3. The usage of the public key
572 provided by a client or server certificate for authentication was not
573 checked properly when validating the certificate. This could cause a
574 client or server to be able to authenticate itself through a certificate
575 to an Mbed TLS TLS 1.3 server or client while it does not own a proper
576 certificate to do so.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200577
578Bugfix
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200579 * Declare or use PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG following the general
580 pattern for PSA_WANT_xxx symbols. Previously you had to specify
581 PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM for PSA_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200582 * Fix a memory leak if mbedtls_ssl_config_defaults() is called twice.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200583 * Fixed swap of client and server random bytes when exporting them alongside
584 TLS 1.3 handshake and application traffic secret.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200585 * Fix several bugs (warnings, compiler and linker errors, test failures)
586 in reduced configurations when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
587 * Fix a bug in (D)TLS curve negotiation: when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO was
588 enabled and an ECDHE-ECDSA or ECDHE-RSA key exchange was used, the
589 client would fail to check that the curve selected by the server for
590 ECDHE was indeed one that was offered. As a result, the client would
591 accept any curve that it supported, even if that curve was not allowed
592 according to its configuration. Fixes #5291.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200593 * The TLS 1.3 implementation is now compatible with the
594 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO configuration option.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200595 * Fix unit tests that used 0 as the file UID. This failed on some
596 implementations of PSA ITS. Fixes #3838.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200597 * Fix mbedtls_ssl_get_version() not reporting TLSv1.3. Fixes #5406.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200598 * Fix API violation in mbedtls_md_process() test by adding a call to
599 mbedtls_md_starts(). Fixes #2227.
600 * Fix compile errors when MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME is not defined. Add tests
601 to catch bad uses of time.h.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200602 * Fix a race condition in out-of-source builds with CMake when generated data
603 files are already present. Fixes #5374.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200604 * Fix the library search path when building a shared library with CMake
605 on Windows.
606 * Fix bug in the alert sending function mbedtls_ssl_send_alert_message()
607 potentially leading to corrupted alert messages being sent in case
608 the function needs to be re-called after initially returning
609 MBEDTLS_SSL_WANT_WRITE. Fixes #1916.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200610 * In configurations with MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID enabled but not
611 MBEDTLS_DEBUG_C, DTLS handshakes using CID would crash due to a null
612 pointer dereference. Fix this. Fixes #3998.
613 The fix was released, but not announced, in Mbed TLS 3.1.0.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200614 * Fix incorrect documentation of mbedtls_x509_crt_profile. The previous
615 documentation stated that the `allowed_pks` field applies to signatures
616 only, but in fact it does apply to the public key type of the end entity
617 certificate, too. Fixes #1992.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200618 * Fix undefined behavior in mbedtls_asn1_find_named_data(), where val is
619 not NULL and val_len is zero.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200620 * Fix compilation error with mingw32. Fixed by Cameron Cawley in #4211.
621 * Fix compilation error when using C++ Builder on Windows. Reported by
622 Miroslav Mastny in #4015.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200623 * psa_raw_key_agreement() now returns PSA_ERROR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL when
624 applicable. Fixes #5735.
625 * Fix a bug in the x25519 example program where the removal of
626 MBEDTLS_ECDH_LEGACY_CONTEXT caused the program not to run. Fixes #4901 and
627 #3191.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200628 * Fix a TLS 1.3 handshake failure when the peer Finished message has not
629 been received yet when we first try to fetch it.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200630 * Encode X.509 dates before 1/1/2000 as UTCTime rather than
631 GeneralizedTime. Fixes #5465.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200632 * Add mbedtls_x509_dn_get_next function to return the next relative DN in
633 an X509 name, to allow walking the name list. Fixes #5431.
634 * Fix order value of curve x448.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200635 * Fix string representation of DNs when outputting values containing commas
636 and other special characters, conforming to RFC 1779. Fixes #769.
637 * Silence a warning from GCC 12 in the selftest program. Fixes #5974.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200638 * Fix check_config.h to check that we have MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE
639 when MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3 is specified, and make this and other
640 dependencies explicit in the documentation. Fixes #5610.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200641 * Fix mbedtls_asn1_write_mpi() writing an incorrect encoding of 0.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200642 * Fix a TLS 1.3 handshake failure when the first attempt to send the client
643 Finished message on the network cannot be satisfied. Fixes #5499.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200644 * Fix resource leaks in mbedtls_pk_parse_public_key() in low
645 memory conditions.
646 * Fix server connection identifier setting for outgoing encrypted records
647 on DTLS 1.2 session resumption. After DTLS 1.2 session resumption with
648 connection identifier, the Mbed TLS client now properly sends the server
649 connection identifier in encrypted record headers. Fix #5872.
650 * Fix a null pointer dereference when performing some operations on zero
651 represented with 0 limbs (specifically mbedtls_mpi_mod_int() dividing
652 by 2, and mbedtls_mpi_write_string() in base 2).
653 * Fix record sizes larger than 16384 being sometimes accepted despite being
654 non-compliant. This could not lead to a buffer overflow. In particular,
655 application data size was already checked correctly.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200656 * Fix MBEDTLS_SVC_KEY_ID_GET_KEY_ID() and MBEDTLS_SVC_KEY_ID_GET_OWNER_ID()
657 which have been broken, resulting in compilation errors, since Mbed TLS
658 3.0.
659 * Ensure that TLS 1.2 ciphersuite/certificate and key selection takes into
660 account not just the type of the key (RSA vs EC) but also what it can
661 actually do. Resolves #5831.
662 * Fix CMake windows host detection, especially when cross compiling.
663 * Fix an error in make where the absence of a generated file caused
664 make to break on a clean checkout. Fixes #5340.
665 * Work around an MSVC ARM64 compiler bug causing incorrect behaviour
666 in mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod(). Reported by Tautvydas Žilys in #5467.
667 * Removed the prompt to exit from all windows build programs, which was causing
668 issues in CI/CD environments.

670Changes
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200671 * The file library/psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.c is now generated
672 from a template. In the future, the generation will support
673 driver descriptions. For the time being, to customize this file,
674 see docs/proposed/psa-driver-wrappers-codegen-migration-guide.md
675 * Return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT if the algorithm passed to one-shot
676 AEAD functions is not an AEAD algorithm. This aligns them with the
677 multipart functions, and the PSA Crypto API 1.1 specification.
678 * In mbedtls_pk_parse_key(), if no password is provided, don't allocate a
679 temporary variable on the heap. Suggested by Sergey Kanatov in #5304.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200680 * Assume source files are in UTF-8 when using MSVC with CMake.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200681 * Fix runtime library install location when building with CMake and MinGW.
682 DLLs are now installed in the bin directory instead of lib.
683 * cmake: Use GnuInstallDirs to customize install directories
684 Replace custom LIB_INSTALL_DIR variable with standard CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR
685 variable. For backward compatibility, set CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR if
686 LIB_INSTALL_DIR is set.
687 * Add a CMake option that enables static linking of the runtime library
688 in Microsoft Visual C++ compiler. Contributed by Microplankton.
689 * In CMake builds, add aliases for libraries so that the normal MbedTLS::*
690 targets work when MbedTLS is built as a subdirectory. This allows the
691 use of FetchContent, as requested in #5688.

695API changes
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200696 * New error code for GCM: MBEDTLS_ERR_GCM_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL.
697 Alternative GCM implementations are expected to verify
698 the length of the provided output buffers and to return the
699 MBEDTLS_ERR_GCM_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL in case the buffer length is too small.
700 * You can configure groups for a TLS key exchange with the new function
701 mbedtls_ssl_conf_groups(). It extends mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves().
702 * Declare a number of structure fields as public: the fields of
703 mbedtls_ecp_curve_info, the fields describing the result of ASN.1 and
704 X.509 parsing, and finally the field fd of mbedtls_net_context on
705 POSIX/Unix-like platforms.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200706

Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200720 * Enable support for Curve448 via the PSA API. Contributed by

Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200722 * The identifier of the CID TLS extension can be configured by defining
723 MBEDTLS_TLS_EXT_CID at compile time.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200724 * Implement the PSA multipart AEAD interface, currently supporting
725 ChaChaPoly and GCM.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200726 * Warn if errors from certain functions are ignored. This is currently
727 supported on GCC-like compilers and on MSVC and can be configured through
728 the macro MBEDTLS_CHECK_RETURN. The warnings are always enabled
729 (where supported) for critical functions where ignoring the return
730 value is almost always a bug. Enable the new configuration option
731 MBEDTLS_CHECK_RETURN_WARNING to get warnings for other functions. This
732 is currently implemented in the AES, DES and md modules, and will be
733 extended to other modules in the future.
734 * Add missing PSA macros declared by PSA Crypto API 1.0.0:
735 PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH, PSA_ALG_NONE, PSA_HASH_BLOCK_LENGTH, PSA_KEY_ID_NULL.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200736 * Add support for CCM*-no-tag cipher to the PSA.
737 Currently only 13-byte long IV's are supported.
738 For decryption a minimum of 16-byte long input is expected.
739 These restrictions may be subject to change.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200740 * Add new API mbedtls_ct_memcmp for constant time buffer comparison.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200741 * Add functions to get the IV and block size from cipher_info structs.
742 * Add functions to check if a cipher supports variable IV or key size.
743 * Add the internal implementation of and support for CCM to the PSA multipart
744 AEAD interface.
745 * Mbed TLS provides a minimum viable implementation of the TLS 1.3
746 protocol. See docs/architecture/tls13-support.md for the definition of
747 the TLS 1.3 Minimum Viable Product (MVP). The MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3
748 configuration option controls the enablement of the support. The APIs
749 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version() and mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version() allow
750 to select the 1.3 version of the protocol to establish a TLS connection.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200751 * Add PSA API definition for ARIA.
752
753Security
754 * Zeroize several intermediate variables used to calculate the expected
755 value when verifying a MAC or AEAD tag. This hardens the library in
756 case the value leaks through a memory disclosure vulnerability. For
757 example, a memory disclosure vulnerability could have allowed a
758 man-in-the-middle to inject fake ciphertext into a DTLS connection.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200759 * In psa_aead_generate_nonce(), do not read back from the output buffer.
760 This fixes a potential policy bypass or decryption oracle vulnerability
761 if the output buffer is in memory that is shared with an untrusted
762 application.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200763 * In psa_cipher_generate_iv() and psa_cipher_encrypt(), do not read back
764 from the output buffer. This fixes a potential policy bypass or decryption
765 oracle vulnerability if the output buffer is in memory that is shared with
766 an untrusted application.
767 * Fix a double-free that happened after mbedtls_ssl_set_session() or
768 mbedtls_ssl_get_session() failed with MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_ALLOC_FAILED
769 (out of memory). After that, calling mbedtls_ssl_session_free()
770 and mbedtls_ssl_free() would cause an internal session buffer to
771 be free()'d twice.
772
773Bugfix
774 * Stop using reserved identifiers as local variables. Fixes #4630.
775 * The GNU makefiles invoke python3 in preference to python except on Windows.
776 The check was accidentally not performed when cross-compiling for Windows
777 on Linux. Fix this. Fixes #4774.
778 * Prevent divide by zero if either of PSA_CIPHER_ENCRYPT_OUTPUT_SIZE() or
779 PSA_CIPHER_UPDATE_OUTPUT_SIZE() were called using an asymmetric key type.
780 * Fix a parameter set but unused in psa_crypto_cipher.c. Fixes #4935.
781 * Don't use the obsolete header path sys/fcntl.h in unit tests.
782 These header files cause compilation errors in musl.
783 Fixes #4969.
784 * Fix missing constraints on x86_64 and aarch64 assembly code
785 for bignum multiplication that broke some bignum operations with
786 (at least) Clang 12.
787 Fixes #4116, #4786, #4917, #4962.
788 * Fix mbedtls_cipher_crypt: AES-ECB when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
789 * Failures of alternative implementations of AES or DES single-block
790 functions enabled with MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT_ALT, MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT_ALT,
791 MBEDTLS_DES_CRYPT_ECB_ALT or MBEDTLS_DES3_CRYPT_ECB_ALT were ignored.
792 This does not concern the implementation provided with Mbed TLS,
793 where this function cannot fail, or full-module replacements with
794 MBEDTLS_AES_ALT or MBEDTLS_DES_ALT. Reported by Armelle Duboc in #1092.
795 * Some failures of HMAC operations were ignored. These failures could only
796 happen with an alternative implementation of the underlying hash module.
797 * Fix the error returned by psa_generate_key() for a public key. Fixes #4551.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200798 * Fix compile-time or run-time errors in PSA
799 AEAD functions when ChachaPoly is disabled. Fixes #5065.
800 * Remove PSA'a AEAD finish/verify output buffer limitation for GCM.
801 The requirement of minimum 15 bytes for output buffer in
802 psa_aead_finish() and psa_aead_verify() does not apply to the built-in
803 implementation of GCM.
804 * Move GCM's update output buffer length verification from PSA AEAD to
805 the built-in implementation of the GCM.
806 The requirement for output buffer size to be equal or greater then
807 input buffer size is valid only for the built-in implementation of GCM.
808 Alternative GCM implementations can process whole blocks only.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200809 * Fix the build of sample programs when neither MBEDTLS_ERROR_C nor
810 MBEDTLS_ERROR_STRERROR_DUMMY is enabled.
811 * Fix PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS verification accepting an arbitrary salt length.
812 This algorithm now accepts only the same salt length for verification
813 that it produces when signing, as documented. Use the new algorithm
814 PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS_ANY_SALT to accept any salt length. Fixes #4946.
815 * The existing predicate macro name PSA_ALG_IS_HASH_AND_SIGN is now reserved
816 for algorithm values that fully encode the hashing step, as per the PSA
817 Crypto API specification. This excludes PSA_ALG_RSA_PKCS1V15_SIGN_RAW and
818 PSA_ALG_ECDSA_ANY. The new predicate macro PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH covers
819 all algorithms that can be used with psa_{sign,verify}_hash(), including
820 these two.
821 * Fix issue in Makefile on Linux with SHARED=1, that caused shared libraries
822 not to list other shared libraries they need.
823 * Fix a bug in mbedtls_gcm_starts() when the bit length of the iv
824 exceeds 2^32. Fixes #4884.
825 * Fix an uninitialized variable warning in test_suite_ssl.function with GCC
826 version 11.
827 * Fix the build when no SHA2 module is included. Fixes #4930.
828 * Fix the build when only the bignum module is included. Fixes #4929.
829 * Fix a potential invalid pointer dereference and infinite loop bugs in
830 pkcs12 functions when the password is empty. Fix the documentation to
831 better describe the inputs to these functions and their possible values.
832 Fixes #5136.
833 * The key usage flags PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_MESSAGE now allows the MAC
834 operations psa_mac_compute() and psa_mac_sign_setup().
835 * The key usage flags PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_MESSAGE now allows the MAC
836 operations psa_mac_verify() and psa_mac_verify_setup().
837
838Changes
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200839 * Explicitly mark the fields mbedtls_ssl_session.exported and
840 mbedtls_ssl_config.respect_cli_pref as private. This was an
841 oversight during the run-up to the release of Mbed TLS 3.0.
842 The fields were never intended to be public.
843 * Implement multi-part CCM API.
844 The multi-part functions: mbedtls_ccm_starts(), mbedtls_ccm_set_lengths(),
845 mbedtls_ccm_update_ad(), mbedtls_ccm_update(), mbedtls_ccm_finish()
846 were introduced in mbedTLS 3.0 release, however their implementation was
847 postponed until now.
848 Implemented functions support chunked data input for both CCM and CCM*
849 algorithms.
850 * Remove MBEDTLS_SSL_EXPORT_KEYS, making it always on and increasing the
851 code size by about 80B on an M0 build. This option only gated an ability
852 to set a callback, but was deemed unnecessary as it was yet another define
853 to remember when writing tests, or test configurations. Fixes #4653.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200854 * Improve the performance of base64 constant-flow code. The result is still
855 slower than the original non-constant-flow implementation, but much faster
856 than the previous constant-flow implementation. Fixes #4814.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200857 * Ignore plaintext/ciphertext lengths for CCM*-no-tag operations.
858 For CCM* encryption/decryption without authentication, input
859 length will be ignored.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +0200860 * Indicate in the error returned if the nonce length used with
861 ChaCha20-Poly1305 is invalid, and not just unsupported.
862 * The mbedcrypto library includes a new source code module constant_time.c,
863 containing various functions meant to resist timing side channel attacks.
864 This module does not have a separate configuration option, and functions
865 from this module will be included in the build as required. Currently
866 most of the interface of this module is private and may change at any
867 time.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200868 * The generated configuration-independent files are now automatically
869 generated by the CMake build system on Unix-like systems. This is not
870 yet supported when cross-compiling.
Jens Wiklander817466c2018-05-22 13:49:31 +0200871
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200872= Mbed TLS 3.0.0 branch released 2021-07-07
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +0200873
874API changes
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200875 * Remove HAVEGE module.
876 The design of HAVEGE makes it unsuitable for microcontrollers. Platforms
877 with a more complex CPU usually have an operating system interface that
878 provides better randomness. Instead of HAVEGE, declare OS or hardware RNG
879 interfaces with mbedtls_entropy_add_source() and/or use an entropy seed
880 file created securely during device provisioning. See
881 https://mbed-tls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kb/how-to/add-entropy-sources-to-entropy-pool/ for
882 more information.
883 * Add missing const attributes to API functions.
884 * Remove helpers for the transition from Mbed TLS 1.3 to Mbed TLS 2.0: the
885 header compat-1.3.h and the script rename.pl.
886 * Remove certs module from the API.
887 Transfer keys and certificates embedded in the library to the test
888 component. This contributes to minimizing library API and discourages
889 users from using unsafe keys in production.
890 * Move alt helpers and definitions.
891 Various helpers and definitions available for use in alt implementations
892 have been moved out of the include/ directory and into the library/
893 directory. The files concerned are ecp_internal.h and rsa_internal.h
894 which have also been renamed to ecp_internal_alt.h and rsa_alt_helpers.h
895 respectively.
896 * Move internal headers.
897 Header files that were only meant for the library's internal use and
898 were not meant to be used in application code have been moved out of
899 the include/ directory. The headers concerned are bn_mul.h, aesni.h,
900 padlock.h, entropy_poll.h and *_internal.h.
901 * Drop support for parsing SSLv2 ClientHello
902 (MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_SUPPORT_SSLV2_CLIENT_HELLO).
903 * Drop support for SSLv3 (MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_SSL3).
904 * Drop support for TLS record-level compression (MBEDTLS_ZLIB_SUPPORT).
905 * Drop support for RC4 TLS ciphersuites.
906 * Drop support for single-DES ciphersuites.
907 * Drop support for MBEDTLS_SSL_HW_RECORD_ACCEL.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +0200908 * Update AEAD output size macros to bring them in line with the PSA Crypto
909 API version 1.0 spec. This version of the spec parameterizes them on the
910 key type used, as well as the key bit-size in the case of
911 PSA_AEAD_TAG_LENGTH.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +0200912 * Add configuration option MBEDTLS_X509_REMOVE_INFO which
913 removes the mbedtls_x509_*_info(), mbedtls_debug_print_crt()
914 as well as other functions and constants only used by
915 those functions. This reduces the code footprint by
916 several kB.
917 * Remove SSL error codes `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CERTIFICATE_REQUIRED`
918 and `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_INVALID_VERIFY_HASH` which are never
919 returned from the public SSL API.
920 * Remove `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CERTIFICATE_TOO_LARGE` and return
921 `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL` instead.
922 * The output parameter of mbedtls_sha512_finish, mbedtls_sha512,
923 mbedtls_sha256_finish and mbedtls_sha256 now has a pointer type
924 rather than array type. This removes spurious warnings in some compilers
925 when outputting a SHA-384 or SHA-224 hash into a buffer of exactly
926 the hash size.
927 * Remove the MBEDTLS_TEST_NULL_ENTROPY config option. Fixes #4388.
928 * The interface of the GCM module has changed to remove restrictions on
929 how the input to multipart operations is broken down. mbedtls_gcm_finish()
930 now takes extra output parameters for the last partial output block.
931 mbedtls_gcm_update() now takes extra parameters for the output length.
932 The software implementation always produces the full output at each
933 call to mbedtls_gcm_update(), but alternative implementations activated
934 by MBEDTLS_GCM_ALT may delay partial blocks to the next call to
935 mbedtls_gcm_update() or mbedtls_gcm_finish(). Furthermore, applications
936 no longer pass the associated data to mbedtls_gcm_starts(), but to the
937 new function mbedtls_gcm_update_ad().
938 These changes are backward compatible for users of the cipher API.
939 * Replace MBEDTLS_SHA512_NO_SHA384 config option with MBEDTLS_SHA384_C.
940 This separates config option enabling the SHA384 algorithm from option
941 enabling the SHA512 algorithm. Fixes #4034.
942 * Introduce MBEDTLS_SHA224_C.
943 This separates config option enabling the SHA224 algorithm from option
944 enabling SHA256.
945 * The getter and setter API of the SSL session cache (used for
946 session-ID based session resumption) has changed to that of
947 a key-value store with keys being session IDs and values
948 being opaque instances of `mbedtls_ssl_session`.
949 * Remove the mode parameter from RSA operation functions. Signature and
950 decryption functions now always use the private key and verification and
951 encryption use the public key. Verification functions also no longer have
952 RNG parameters.
953 * Modify semantics of `mbedtls_ssl_conf_[opaque_]psk()`:
954 In Mbed TLS 2.X, the API prescribes that later calls overwrite
955 the effect of earlier calls. In Mbed TLS 3.0, calling
956 `mbedtls_ssl_conf_[opaque_]psk()` more than once will fail,
957 leaving the PSK that was configured first intact.
958 Support for more than one PSK may be added in 3.X.
959 * The function mbedtls_x509write_csr_set_extension() has an extra parameter
960 which allows to mark an extension as critical. Fixes #4055.
961 * For multi-part AEAD operations with the cipher module, calling
962 mbedtls_cipher_finish() is now mandatory. Previously the documentation
963 was unclear on this point, and this function happened to never do
964 anything with the currently implemented AEADs, so in practice it was
965 possible to skip calling it, which is no longer supported.
966 * The option MBEDTLS_ECP_FIXED_POINT_OPTIM use pre-computed comb tables
967 instead of computing tables in runtime. Thus, this option now increase
968 code size, and it does not increase RAM usage in runtime anymore.
969 * Remove the SSL APIs mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() and
970 mbedtls_ssl_get_output_max_frag_len(), and add a new API
971 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_in_record_payload(), complementing the existing
972 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_out_record_payload().
973 Uses of mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() and
974 mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() should be replaced by
975 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_in_record_payload() and
976 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_out_record_payload(), respectively.
977 * mbedtls_rsa_init() now always selects the PKCS#1v1.5 encoding for an RSA
978 key. To use an RSA key with PSS or OAEP, call mbedtls_rsa_set_padding()
979 after initializing the context. mbedtls_rsa_set_padding() now returns an
980 error if its parameters are invalid.
981 * Replace MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_RESPECT_CLIENT_PREFERENCE by a runtime
982 configuration function mbedtls_ssl_conf_preference_order(). Fixes #4398.
983 * Instead of accessing the len field of a DHM context, which is no longer
984 supported, use the new function mbedtls_dhm_get_len() .
985 * In modules that implement cryptographic hash functions, many functions
986 mbedtls_xxx() now return int instead of void, and the corresponding
987 function mbedtls_xxx_ret() which was identical except for returning int
988 has been removed. This also concerns mbedtls_xxx_drbg_update(). See the
989 migration guide for more information. Fixes #4212.
990 * For all functions that take a random number generator (RNG) as a
991 parameter, this parameter is now mandatory (that is, NULL is not an
992 acceptable value). Functions which previously accepted NULL and now
993 reject it are: the X.509 CRT and CSR writing functions; the PK and RSA
994 sign and decrypt function; mbedtls_rsa_private(); the functions
995 in DHM and ECDH that compute the shared secret; the scalar multiplication
996 functions in ECP.
997 * The following functions now require an RNG parameter:
998 mbedtls_ecp_check_pub_priv(), mbedtls_pk_check_pair(),
999 mbedtls_pk_parse_key(), mbedtls_pk_parse_keyfile().
1000 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_export_keys_ext_cb() and
1001 mbedtls_ssl_conf_export_keys_cb() have been removed and
1002 replaced by a new API mbedtls_ssl_set_export_keys_cb().
1003 Raw keys and IVs are no longer passed to the callback.
1004 Further, callbacks now receive an additional parameter
1005 indicating the type of secret that's being exported,
1006 paving the way for the larger number of secrets
1007 in TLS 1.3. Finally, the key export callback and
1008 context are now connection-specific.
1009 * Signature functions in the RSA and PK modules now require the hash
1010 length parameter to be the size of the hash input. For RSA signatures
1011 other than raw PKCS#1 v1.5, this must match the output size of the
1012 specified hash algorithm.
1013 * The functions mbedtls_pk_sign(), mbedtls_pk_sign_restartable(),
1014 mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature() and
1015 mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature_restartable() now take an extra parameter
1016 indicating the size of the output buffer for the signature.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001017 * Implement one-shot cipher functions, psa_cipher_encrypt and
1018 psa_cipher_decrypt, according to the PSA Crypto API 1.0.0
1019 specification.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001020 * Direct access to fields of structures declared in public headers is no
1021 longer supported except for fields that are documented public. Use accessor
1022 functions instead. For more information, see the migration guide entry
1023 "Most structure fields are now private".
1024 * mbedtls_ssl_get_session_pointer() has been removed, and
1025 mbedtls_ssl_{set,get}_session() may now only be called once for any given
1026 SSL context.
1027
1028Default behavior changes
1029 * Enable by default the functionalities which have no reason to be disabled.
1030 They are: ARIA block cipher, CMAC mode, elliptic curve J-PAKE library and
1031 Key Wrapping mode as defined in NIST SP 800-38F. Fixes #4036.
1032 * Some default policies for X.509 certificate verification and TLS have
1033 changed: curves and hashes weaker than 255 bits are no longer accepted
1034 by default. The default order in TLS now favors faster curves over larger
1035 curves.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001036
1037Requirement changes
1038 * The library now uses the %zu format specifier with the printf() family of
1039 functions, so requires a toolchain that supports it. This change does not
1040 affect the maintained LTS branches, so when contributing changes please
1041 bear this in mind and do not add them to backported code.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001042 * If you build the development version of Mbed TLS, rather than an official
1043 release, some configuration-independent files are now generated at build
1044 time rather than checked into source control. This includes some library
1045 source files as well as the Visual Studio solution. Perl, Python 3 and a
1046 C compiler for the host platform are required. See Generated source files
1047 in the development branch in README.md for more information.
1048 * Refresh the minimum supported versions of tools to build the
1049 library. CMake versions older than 3.10.2 and Python older
1050 than 3.6 are no longer supported.
1051
1052Removals
1053 * Remove the MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_CERTIFICATES
1054 compile-time option, which was off by default. Users should not trust
1055 certificates signed with SHA-1 due to the known attacks against SHA-1.
1056 If needed, SHA-1 certificates can still be verified by using a custom
1057 verification profile.
1058 * Removed deprecated things in psa/crypto_compat.h. Fixes #4284
1059 * Removed deprecated functions from hashing modules. Fixes #4280.
1060 * Remove PKCS#11 library wrapper. PKCS#11 has limited functionality,
1061 lacks automated tests and has scarce documentation. Also, PSA Crypto
1062 provides a more flexible private key management.
1063 More details on PCKS#11 wrapper removal can be found in the mailing list
1064 https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/pipermail/mbed-tls/2020-April/000024.html
1065 * Remove deprecated error codes. Fix #4283
1066 * Remove MBEDTLS_ENABLE_WEAK_CIPHERSUITES configuration option. Fixes #4416.
1067 * Remove the MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_CERTIFICATES
1068 compile-time option. This option has been inactive for a long time.
1069 Please use the `lifetime` parameter of `mbedtls_ssl_ticket_setup()`
1070 instead.
1071 * Remove the following deprecated functions and constants of hex-encoded
1072 primes based on RFC 5114 and RFC 3526 from library code and tests:

1082 Remove the deprecated file: include/mbedtls/net.h. Fixes #4282.
1083 * Remove MBEDTLS_SSL_MAX_CONTENT_LEN configuration option, since
1084 MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN and MBEDTLS_SSL_OUT_CONTENT_LEN replace
1085 it. Fixes #4362.
1086 * Remove the MBEDTLS_SSL_RECORD_CHECKING option and enable by default its
1087 previous action. Fixes #4361.
1088 * Remove support for TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 and DTLS 1.0, as well as support for
1089 CBC record splitting, fallback SCSV, and the ability to configure
1090 ciphersuites per version, which are no longer relevant. This removes the
1091 configuration options MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1,
1092 MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_1, MBEDTLS_SSL_CBC_RECORD_SPLITTING and
1093 MBEDTLS_SSL_FALLBACK_SCSV as well as the functions
1094 mbedtls_ssl_conf_cbc_record_splitting(),
1095 mbedtls_ssl_get_key_exchange_md_ssl_tls(), mbedtls_ssl_conf_fallback(),
1096 and mbedtls_ssl_conf_ciphersuites_for_version(). Fixes #4286.
1097 * The RSA module no longer supports private-key operations with the public
1098 key and vice versa.
1099 * Remove the MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_BADMAC_LIMIT config.h option. Fixes #4403.
1100 * Remove all the 3DES ciphersuites:
1101 MBEDTLS_TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1102 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1103 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,

1106 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1107 MBEDTLS_TLS_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1108 MBEDTLS_TLS_RSA_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1109 MBEDTLS_TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA. Remove the
1110 MBEDTLS_REMOVE_3DES_CIPHERSUITES option which is no longer relevant.
1111 Fixes #4367.
1112 * Remove the MBEDTLS_X509_ALLOW_EXTENSIONS_NON_V3 option and let the code
1113 behave as if it was always disabled. Fixes #4386.
1114 * Remove MBEDTLS_ECDH_LEGACY_CONTEXT config option since this was purely for
1115 backward compatibility which is no longer supported. Addresses #4404.
1116 * Remove the following macros: MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS,
1117 MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS_ASSERT, MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED,
1118 MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED_ALT. Fixes #4313.
1119 * Remove the MBEDTLS_X509_ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION config.h
1120 option. The mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() is the way to go for
1121 migration path. Fixes #4378.
1122 * Remove the MBEDTLS_X509_CHECK_KEY_USAGE and
1123 MBEDTLS_X509_CHECK_EXTENDED_KEY_USAGE config.h options and let the code
1124 behave as if they were always enabled. Fixes #4405.
1125 * MBEDTLS_ECP_MAX_BITS is no longer a configuration option because it is
1126 now determined automatically based on supported curves.
1127 * Remove the following functions: mbedtls_timing_self_test(),
1128 mbedtls_hardclock_poll(), mbedtls_timing_hardclock() and
1129 mbedtls_set_alarm(). Fixes #4083.
1130 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_INTERNAL_RNG has been removed as
1131 it no longer had any effect.
1132 * Remove all support for MD2, MD4, RC4, Blowfish and XTEA. This removes the
1133 corresponding modules and all their APIs and related configuration
1134 options. Fixes #4084.
1135 * Remove MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC and also remove
1136 MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC_COMPAT config option. Users are better served by
1137 using a CCM-8 ciphersuite than a CBC ciphersuite with truncated HMAC.
1138 See issue #4341 for more details.
1139 * Remove the compile-time option
1140 MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_KEY_EXCHANGE.

1143 * Add mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pss_sign_ext() function allowing to generate a
1144 signature with a specific salt length. This function allows to validate
1145 test cases provided in the NIST's CAVP test suite. Contributed by Cédric
1146 Meuter in PR #3183.
1147 * Added support for built-in driver keys through the PSA opaque crypto
1148 driver interface. Refer to the documentation of
1149 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_BUILTIN_KEYS for more information.
1150 * Implement psa_sign_message() and psa_verify_message().
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001151 * The multi-part GCM interface (mbedtls_gcm_update() or
1152 mbedtls_cipher_update()) no longer requires the size of partial inputs to
1153 be a multiple of 16.
1154 * The multi-part GCM interface now supports chunked associated data through
1155 multiple calls to mbedtls_gcm_update_ad().
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001156 * The new function mbedtls_mpi_random() generates a random value in a
1157 given range uniformly.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001158 * Alternative implementations of the AES, DHM, ECJPAKE, ECP, RSA and timing
1159 modules had undocumented constraints on their context types. These
1160 constraints have been relaxed.
1161 See docs/architecture/alternative-implementations.md for the remaining
1162 constraints.
1163 * The new functions mbedtls_dhm_get_len() and mbedtls_dhm_get_bitlen()
1164 query the size of the modulus in a Diffie-Hellman context.
1165 * The new function mbedtls_dhm_get_value() copy a field out of a
1166 Diffie-Hellman context.
1167 * Use the new function mbedtls_ecjpake_set_point_format() to select the
1168 point format for ECJPAKE instead of accessing the point_format field
1169 directly, which is no longer supported.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001170 * Implement psa_mac_compute() and psa_mac_verify() as defined in the
1171 PSA Cryptograpy API 1.0.0 specification.

1174 * Fix a bias in the generation of finite-field Diffie-Hellman-Merkle (DHM)
1175 private keys and of blinding values for DHM and elliptic curves (ECP)
1176 computations. Reported by FlorianF89 in #4245.
1177 * Fix a potential side channel vulnerability in ECDSA ephemeral key generation.
1178 An adversary who is capable of very precise timing measurements could
1179 learn partial information about the leading bits of the nonce used for the
1180 signature, allowing the recovery of the private key after observing a
1181 large number of signature operations. This completes a partial fix in
1182 Mbed TLS 2.20.0.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001183 * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough information
1184 about memory accesses (typically, an untrusted operating system attacking
1185 a secure enclave) could recover an RSA private key after observing the
1186 victim performing a single private-key operation. Found and reported by
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001187 Zili KOU, Wenjian HE, Sharad Sinha, and Wei ZHANG.

1190 or Curve448 static ECDH key after inputting a chosen public key and
1191 observing the victim performing the corresponding private-key operation.

1195Bugfix
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001196 * Fix premature fopen() call in mbedtls_entropy_write_seed_file which may
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001197 lead to the seed file corruption in case if the path to the seed file is
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001198 equal to MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_STD_NV_SEED_FILE. Contributed by Victor
1199 Krasnoshchok in #3616.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001200 * PSA functions creating a key now return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT rather
1201 than PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE when the identifier specified for the key
1202 to create is not valid, bringing them in line with version 1.0.0 of the
1203 specification. Fix #4271.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001204 * Add printf function attributes to mbedtls_debug_print_msg to ensure we
1205 get printf format specifier warnings.
1206 * PSA functions other than psa_open_key now return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE
1207 rather than PSA_ERROR_DOES_NOT_EXIST for an invalid handle, bringing them
1208 in line with version 1.0.0 of the specification. Fix #4162.
1209 * Fix a bug in ECDSA that would cause it to fail when the hash is all-bits
1210 zero. Fixes #1792
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001211 * Fix some cases in the bignum module where the library constructed an
1212 unintended representation of the value 0 which was not processed
1213 correctly by some bignum operations. This could happen when
1214 mbedtls_mpi_read_string() was called on "-0", or when
1215 mbedtls_mpi_mul_mpi() and mbedtls_mpi_mul_int() was called with one of
1216 the arguments being negative and the other being 0. Fixes #4643.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001217 * Fix a compilation error when MBEDTLS_ECP_RANDOMIZE_MXZ_ALT is
1218 defined. Fixes #4217.
1219 * Fix an incorrect error code when parsing a PKCS#8 private key.
1220 * In a TLS client, enforce the Diffie-Hellman minimum parameter size
1221 set with mbedtls_ssl_conf_dhm_min_bitlen() precisely. Before, the
1222 minimum size was rounded down to the nearest multiple of 8.
1223 * In library/net_sockets.c, _POSIX_C_SOURCE and _XOPEN_SOURCE are
1224 defined to specific values. If the code is used in a context
1225 where these are already defined, this can result in a compilation
1226 error. Instead, assume that if they are defined, the values will
1227 be adequate to build Mbed TLS.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001228 * With MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C disabled, some functions were getting built
1229 nonetheless, resulting in undefined reference errors when building a
1230 shared library. Reported by Guillermo Garcia M. in #4411.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001231 * The cipher suite TLS-RSA-WITH-CAMELLIA-256-GCM-SHA384 was not available
1232 when SHA-1 was disabled and was offered when SHA-1 was enabled but SHA-384
1233 was disabled. Fix the dependency. Fixes #4472.
1234 * Do not offer SHA384 cipher suites when SHA-384 is disabled. Fixes #4499.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001235 * Fix test suite code on platforms where int32_t is not int, such as
1236 Arm Cortex-M. Fixes #4530.
1237 * Fix some issues affecting MBEDTLS_ARIA_ALT implementations: a misplaced
1238 directive in a header and a missing initialization in the self-test.
1239 * Fix a missing initialization in the Camellia self-test, affecting
1240 MBEDTLS_CAMELLIA_ALT implementations.
1241 * Restore the ability to configure PSA via Mbed TLS options to support RSA
1242 key pair operations but exclude RSA key generation. When MBEDTLS_GENPRIME
1243 is not defined PSA will no longer attempt to use mbedtls_rsa_gen_key().
1244 Fixes #4512.
1245 * Fix a regression introduced in 2.24.0 which broke (D)TLS CBC ciphersuites
1246 (when the encrypt-then-MAC extension is not in use) with some ALT
1247 implementations of the underlying hash (SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384), causing
1248 the affected side to wrongly reject valid messages. Fixes #4118.
1249 * Remove outdated check-config.h check that prevented implementing the
1250 timing module on Mbed OS. Fixes #4633.
1251 * Fix PSA_ALG_TLS12_PRF and PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS being too permissive
1252 about missing inputs.
1253 * Fix mbedtls_net_poll() and mbedtls_net_recv_timeout() often failing with
1254 MBEDTLS_ERR_NET_POLL_FAILED on Windows. Fixes #4465.
1255 * Fix a resource leak in a test suite with an alternative AES
1256 implementation. Fixes #4176.
1257 * Fix a crash in mbedtls_mpi_debug_mpi on a bignum having 0 limbs. This
1258 could notably be triggered by setting the TLS debug level to 3 or above
1259 and using a Montgomery curve for the key exchange. Reported by lhuang04
1260 in #4578. Fixes #4608.
1261 * psa_verify_hash() was relying on implementation-specific behavior of
1262 mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pss_verify() and was causing failures in some _ALT
1263 implementations. This reliance is now removed. Fixes #3990.
1264 * Disallow inputs of length different from the corresponding hash when
1265 signing or verifying with PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS (The PSA Crypto API mandates
1266 that PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS uses the same hash throughout the algorithm.)
1267 * Fix a null pointer dereference when mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod() was called with
1268 A=0 represented with 0 limbs. Up to and including Mbed TLS 2.26, this bug
1269 could not be triggered by code that constructed A with one of the
1270 mbedtls_mpi_read_xxx functions (including in particular TLS code) since
1271 those always built an mpi object with at least one limb.
1272 Credit to OSS-Fuzz. Fixes #4641.
1273 * Fix mbedtls_mpi_gcd(G,A,B) when the value of B is zero. This had no
1274 effect on Mbed TLS's internal use of mbedtls_mpi_gcd(), but may affect
1275 applications that call mbedtls_mpi_gcd() directly. Fixes #4642.
1276 * The PSA API no longer allows the creation or destruction of keys with a
1277 read-only lifetime. The persistence level PSA_KEY_PERSISTENCE_READ_ONLY
1278 can now only be used as intended, for keys that cannot be modified through
1279 normal use of the API.
1280 * When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SPM is enabled, crypto_spe.h was not included
1281 in all the right places. Include it from crypto_platform.h, which is
1282 the natural place. Fixes #4649.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001283 * Fix which alert is sent in some cases to conform to the
1284 applicable RFC: on an invalid Finished message value, an
1285 invalid max_fragment_length extension, or an
1286 unsupported extension used by the server.
1287 * Correct (change from 12 to 13 bytes) the value of the macro describing the
1288 maximum nonce length returned by psa_aead_generate_nonce().
1289
1290Changes
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001291 * Fix the setting of the read timeout in the DTLS sample programs.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001292 * Add extra printf compiler warning flags to builds.
1293 * Fix memsan build false positive in x509_crt.c with clang 11
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001294 * Alternative implementations of CMAC may now opt to not support 3DES as a
1295 CMAC block cipher, and still pass the CMAC self test.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001296 * Remove the AES sample application programs/aes/aescrypt2 which shows
1297 bad cryptographic practice. Fix #1906.
1298 * Remove configs/config-psa-crypto.h, which no longer had any intended
1299 differences from the default configuration, but had accidentally diverged.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001300 * When building the test suites with GNU make, invoke python3 or python, not
1301 python2, which is no longer supported upstream.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001302 * fix build failure on MinGW toolchain when __USE_MING_ANSI_STDIO is on.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001303 When that flag is on, standard GNU C printf format specifiers
1304 should be used.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001305 * Replace MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_PADDING_GRANULARITY and
1306 MBEDTLS_SSL_TLS1_3_PADDING_GRANULARITY with a new single unified option
1307 MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_TLS1_3_PADDING_GRANULARITY. Fixes #4335.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001308 * Reduce the default value of MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE. This reduces RAM usage
1309 during ECC operations at a negligible performance cost.
1310 * mbedtls_mpi_read_binary(), mbedtls_mpi_read_binary_le() and
1311 mbedtls_mpi_read_string() now construct an mbedtls_mpi object with 0 limbs
1312 when their input has length 0. Note that this is an implementation detail
1313 and can change at any time, so this change should be transparent, but it
1314 may result in mbedtls_mpi_write_binary() or mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
1315 now writing an empty string where it previously wrote one or more
1316 zero digits when operating from values constructed with an mpi_read
1317 function and some mpi operations.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001318 * Add CMake package config generation for CMake projects consuming Mbed TLS.
1319 * config.h has been split into build_info.h and mbedtls_config.h
1320 build_info.h is intended to be included from C code directly, while
1321 mbedtls_config.h is intended to be edited by end users wishing to
1322 change the build configuration, and should generally only be included from
1323 build_info.h.
1324 * The handling of MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE has been moved into build_info.h.
1325 * A config file version symbol, MBEDTLS_CONFIG_VERSION was introduced.
1326 Defining it to a particular value will ensure that Mbed TLS interprets
1327 the config file in a way that's compatible with the config file format
1328 used by the Mbed TLS release whose MBEDTLS_VERSION_NUMBER has the same
1329 value.
1330 The only value supported by Mbed TLS 3.0.0 is 0x03000000.
1331 * Various changes to which alert and/or error code may be returned
1332 * during the TLS handshake.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001333 * Implicitly add PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_MESSAGE key usage policy flag when
1334 PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_HASH flag is set and PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_MESSAGE flag
1335 when PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_HASH flag is set. This usage flag extension
1336 is also applied when loading a key from storage.

1340API changes
1341 * Renamed the PSA Crypto API output buffer size macros to bring them in line
1342 with version 1.0.0 of the specification.
1343 * The API glue function mbedtls_ecc_group_of_psa() now takes the curve size
1344 in bits rather than bytes, with an additional flag to indicate if the
1345 size may have been rounded up to a whole number of bytes.
1346 * Renamed the PSA Crypto API AEAD tag length macros to bring them in line
1347 with version 1.0.0 of the specification.
1348
1349Default behavior changes
1350 * In mbedtls_rsa_context objects, the ver field was formerly documented
1351 as always 0. It is now reserved for internal purposes and may take
1352 different values.
1353
1354New deprecations
1355 * PSA_KEY_EXPORT_MAX_SIZE, PSA_HASH_SIZE, PSA_MAC_FINAL_SIZE,
1356 PSA_BLOCK_CIPHER_BLOCK_SIZE, PSA_MAX_BLOCK_CIPHER_BLOCK_SIZE and
1357 PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS_MAX_PSK_LEN have been renamed, and the old names
1358 deprecated.
1359 * PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_DEFAULT_TAG_LENGTH and PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_TAG_LENGTH
1360 have been renamed, and the old names deprecated.
1361
1362Features
1363 * The PSA crypto subsystem can now use HMAC_DRBG instead of CTR_DRBG.
1364 CTR_DRBG is used by default if it is available, but you can override
1365 this choice by setting MBEDTLS_PSA_HMAC_DRBG_MD_TYPE at compile time.
1366 Fix #3354.
1367 * Automatic fallback to a software implementation of ECP when
1368 MBEDTLS_ECP_xxx_ALT accelerator hooks are in use can now be turned off
1369 through setting the new configuration flag MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_FALLBACK.
1370 * The PSA crypto subsystem can now be configured to use less static RAM by
1371 tweaking the setting for the maximum amount of keys simultaneously in RAM.
1372 MBEDTLS_PSA_KEY_SLOT_COUNT sets the maximum number of volatile keys that
1373 can exist simultaneously. It has a sensible default if not overridden.
1374 * Partial implementation of the PSA crypto driver interface: Mbed TLS can
1375 now use an external random generator instead of the library's own
1376 entropy collection and DRBG code. Enable MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG
1377 and see the documentation of mbedtls_psa_external_get_random() for details.
1378 * Applications using both mbedtls_xxx and psa_xxx functions (for example,
1379 applications using TLS and MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO) can now use the PSA
1380 random generator with mbedtls_xxx functions. See the documentation of
1381 mbedtls_psa_get_random() for details.
1382 * In the PSA API, the policy for a MAC or AEAD algorithm can specify a
1383 minimum MAC or tag length thanks to the new wildcards
1384 PSA_ALG_AT_LEAST_THIS_LENGTH_MAC and
1385 PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_AT_LEAST_THIS_LENGTH_TAG.

1388 * Fix a security reduction in CTR_DRBG when the initial seeding obtained a
1389 nonce from entropy. Applications were affected if they called
1390 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len(), if they called
1391 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_entropy_len() with a size that was 3/2 times the key
1392 length, or when the entropy module uses SHA-256 and CTR_DRBG uses AES-256.
1393 In such cases, a random nonce was necessary to achieve the advertised
1394 security strength, but the code incorrectly used a constant instead of
1395 entropy from the nonce.
1396 Found by John Stroebel in #3819 and fixed in #3973.
1397 * Fix a buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() when calculating
1398 |A| - |B| where |B| is larger than |A| and has more limbs (so the
1399 function should return MBEDTLS_ERR_MPI_NEGATIVE_VALUE). Only
1400 applications calling mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() directly are affected:
1401 all calls inside the library were safe since this function is
1402 only called with |A| >= |B|. Reported by Guido Vranken in #4042.
1403 * Fix an errorneous estimation for an internal buffer in
1404 mbedtls_pk_write_key_pem(). If MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE is set to an odd
1405 value the function might fail to write a private RSA keys of the largest
1406 supported size.
1407 Found by Daniel Otte, reported in #4093 and fixed in #4094.
1408 * Fix a stack buffer overflow with mbedtls_net_poll() and
1409 mbedtls_net_recv_timeout() when given a file descriptor that is
1410 beyond FD_SETSIZE. Reported by FigBug in #4169.
1411 * Guard against strong local side channel attack against base64 tables by
1412 making access aceess to them use constant flow code.
1413
1414Bugfix
1415 * Fix use-after-scope error in programs/ssl/ssl_client2.c and ssl_server2.c
1416 * Fix memory leak that occured when calling psa_close_key() on a
1417 wrapped key with MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C defined.
1418 * Fix an incorrect error code if an RSA private operation glitched.
1419 * Fix a memory leak in an error case in psa_generate_derived_key_internal().
1420 * Fix a resource leak in CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C
1421 is enabled, on platforms where initializing a mutex allocates resources.
1422 This was a regression introduced in the previous release. Reported in
1423 #4017, #4045 and #4071.
1424 * Ensure that calling mbedtls_rsa_free() or mbedtls_entropy_free()
1425 twice is safe. This happens for RSA when some Mbed TLS library functions
1426 fail. Such a double-free was not safe when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C was
1427 enabled on platforms where freeing a mutex twice is not safe.
1428 * Fix a resource leak in a bad-arguments case of mbedtls_rsa_gen_key()
1429 when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled on platforms where initializing
1430 a mutex allocates resources.
1431 * Fixes a bug where, if the library was configured to include support for
1432 both the old SE interface and the new PSA driver interface, external keys were
1433 not loaded from storage. This was fixed by #3996.
1434 * This change makes 'mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_basic_constraints'
1435 consistent with RFC 5280 4.2.1.9 which says: "Conforming CAs MUST
1436 include this extension in all CA certificates that contain public keys
1437 used to validate digital signatures on certificates and MUST mark the
1438 extension as critical in such certificates." Previous to this change,
1439 the extension was always marked as non-critical. This was fixed by
1440 #3698.
1441
1442Changes
1443 * A new library C file psa_crypto_client.c has been created to contain
1444 the PSA code needed by a PSA crypto client when the PSA crypto
1445 implementation is not included into the library.
1446 * On recent enough versions of FreeBSD and DragonFlyBSD, the entropy module
1447 now uses the getrandom syscall instead of reading from /dev/urandom.

1451API changes
1452 * The numerical values of the PSA Crypto API macros have been updated to
1453 conform to version 1.0.0 of the specification.
1454 * PSA_ALG_STREAM_CIPHER replaces PSA_ALG_CHACHA20 and PSA_ALG_ARC4.
1455 The underlying stream cipher is determined by the key type
1456 (PSA_KEY_TYPE_CHACHA20 or PSA_KEY_TYPE_ARC4).
1457 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
1458 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() no longer accept NIST_KW contexts,
1459 as they have no way to check if the output buffer is large enough.
1460 Please use mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt_ext() and
1461 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt_ext() instead. Credit to OSS-Fuzz and
1462 Cryptofuzz. Fixes #3665.
1463
1464Requirement changes
1465 * Update the minimum required CMake version to 2.8.12. This silences a
1466 warning on CMake 3.19.0. #3801
1467
1468New deprecations
1469 * PSA_ALG_CHACHA20 and PSA_ALG_ARC4 have been deprecated.
1470 Use PSA_ALG_STREAM_CIPHER instead.
1471 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
1472 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() are deprecated in favour of the new
1473 functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt_ext() and
1474 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt_ext(). Please note that with AEAD ciphers,
1475 these new functions always append the tag to the ciphertext, and include
1476 the tag in the ciphertext length.
1477
1478Features
1479 * Partial implementation of the new PSA Crypto accelerator APIs. (Symmetric
1480 ciphers, asymmetric signing/verification and key generation, validate_key
1481 entry point, and export_public_key interface.)
1482 * Add support for ECB to the PSA cipher API.
1483 * In PSA, allow using a key declared with a base key agreement algorithm
1484 in combined key agreement and derivation operations, as long as the key
1485 agreement algorithm in use matches the algorithm the key was declared with.
1486 This is currently non-standard behaviour, but expected to make it into a
1487 future revision of the PSA Crypto standard.
1488 * Add MBEDTLS_TARGET_PREFIX CMake variable, which is prefixed to the mbedtls,
1489 mbedcrypto, mbedx509 and apidoc CMake target names. This can be used by
1490 external CMake projects that include this one to avoid CMake target name
1491 clashes. The default value of this variable is "", so default target names
1492 are unchanged.
1493 * Add support for DTLS-SRTP as defined in RFC 5764. Contributed by Johan
1494 Pascal, improved by Ron Eldor.
1495 * In the PSA API, it is no longer necessary to open persistent keys:
1496 operations now accept the key identifier. The type psa_key_handle_t is now
1497 identical to psa_key_id_t instead of being platform-defined. This bridges
1498 the last major gap to compliance with the PSA Cryptography specification
1499 version 1.0.0. Opening persistent keys is still supported for backward
1500 compatibility, but will be deprecated and later removed in future
1501 releases.
1502 * PSA_AEAD_NONCE_LENGTH, PSA_AEAD_NONCE_MAX_SIZE, PSA_CIPHER_IV_LENGTH and
1503 PSA_CIPHER_IV_MAX_SIZE macros have been added as defined in version
1504 1.0.0 of the PSA Crypto API specification.
1505
1506Security
1507 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
1508 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() would write past the minimum documented
1509 size of the output buffer when used with NIST_KW. As a result, code using
1510 those functions as documented with NIST_KW could have a buffer overwrite
1511 of up to 15 bytes, with consequences ranging up to arbitrary code
1512 execution depending on the location of the output buffer.
1513 * Limit the size of calculations performed by mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod to
1514 MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE to prevent a potential denial of service when
1515 generating Diffie-Hellman key pairs. Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
1516 * A failure of the random generator was ignored in mbedtls_mpi_fill_random(),
1517 which is how most uses of randomization in asymmetric cryptography
1518 (including key generation, intermediate value randomization and blinding)
1519 are implemented. This could cause failures or the silent use of non-random
1520 values. A random generator can fail if it needs reseeding and cannot not
1521 obtain entropy, or due to an internal failure (which, for Mbed TLS's own
1522 CTR_DRBG or HMAC_DRBG, can only happen due to a misconfiguration).
1523 * Fix a compliance issue whereby we were not checking the tag on the
1524 algorithm parameters (only the size) when comparing the signature in the
1525 description part of the cert to the real signature. This meant that a
1526 NULL algorithm parameters entry would look identical to an array of REAL
1527 (size zero) to the library and thus the certificate would be considered
1528 valid. However, if the parameters do not match in *any* way then the
1529 certificate should be considered invalid, and indeed OpenSSL marks these
1530 certs as invalid when mbedtls did not.
1531 Many thanks to guidovranken who found this issue via differential fuzzing
1532 and reported it in #3629.
1533 * Zeroising of local buffers and variables which are used for calculations
1534 in mbedtls_pkcs5_pbkdf2_hmac(), mbedtls_internal_sha*_process(),
1535 mbedtls_internal_md*_process() and mbedtls_internal_ripemd160_process()
1536 functions to erase sensitive data from memory. Reported by
1537 Johan Malmgren and Johan Uppman Bruce from Sectra.

Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001540 * Fix an invalid (but nonzero) return code from mbedtls_pk_parse_subpubkey()
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001541 when the input has trailing garbage. Fixes #2512.
1542 * Fix build failure in configurations where MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is
1543 enabled but ECDSA is disabled. Contributed by jdurkop. Fixes #3294.
1544 * Include the psa_constant_names generated source code in the source tree
1545 instead of generating it at build time. Fixes #3524.
1546 * Fix rsa_prepare_blinding() to retry when the blinding value is not
1547 invertible (mod N), instead of returning MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_RNG_FAILED. This
1548 addresses a regression but is rare in practice (approx. 1 in 2/sqrt(N)).
1549 Found by Synopsys Coverity, fix contributed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin).
1550 Fixes #3647.
1551 * Use socklen_t on Android and other POSIX-compliant system
1552 * Fix the build when the macro _GNU_SOURCE is defined to a non-empty value.
1553 Fix #3432.
1554 * Consistently return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT on invalid cipher input
1555 sizes (instead of PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATE in some cases) to make the
1556 psa_cipher_* functions compliant with the PSA Crypto API specification.
1557 * mbedtls_ecp_curve_list() now lists Curve25519 and Curve448 under the names
1558 "x25519" and "x448". These curves support ECDH but not ECDSA. If you need
1559 only the curves that support ECDSA, filter the list with
1560 mbedtls_ecdsa_can_do().
1561 * Fix psa_generate_key() returning an error when asked to generate
1562 an ECC key pair on Curve25519 or secp244k1.
1563 * Fix psa_key_derivation_output_key() to allow the output of a combined key
1564 agreement and subsequent key derivation operation to be used as a key
1565 inside of the PSA Crypto core.
1566 * Fix handling of EOF against 0xff bytes and on platforms with unsigned
1567 chars. Fixes a build failure on platforms where char is unsigned. Fixes
1568 #3794.
1569 * Fix an off-by-one error in the additional data length check for
1570 CCM, which allowed encryption with a non-standard length field.
1571 Fixes #3719.
1572 * Correct the default IV size for mbedtls_cipher_info_t structures using
1573 MBEDTLS_MODE_ECB to 0, since ECB mode ciphers don't use IVs.
1574 * Make arc4random_buf available on NetBSD and OpenBSD when _POSIX_C_SOURCE is
1575 defined. Fix contributed in #3571.
1576 * Fix conditions for including string.h in error.c. Fixes #3866.
1577 * psa_set_key_id() now also sets the lifetime to persistent for keys located
1578 in a secure element.
1579 * Attempting to create a volatile key with a non-zero key identifier now
1580 fails. Previously the key identifier was just ignored when creating a
1581 volatile key.
1582 * Attempting to create or register a key with a key identifier in the vendor
1583 range now fails.
1584 * Fix build failures on GCC 11. Fixes #3782.
1585 * Add missing arguments of debug message in mbedtls_ssl_decrypt_buf.
1586 * Fix a memory leak in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() when the result was negative
1587 (an error condition) and the second operand was aliased to the result.
1588 * Fix a case in elliptic curve arithmetic where an out-of-memory condition
1589 could go undetected, resulting in an incorrect result.
1590 * In CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG, don't reset the reseed interval in seed().
1591 Fixes #2927.
1592 * In PEM writing functions, fill the trailing part of the buffer with null
1593 bytes. This guarantees that the corresponding parsing function can read
1594 the buffer back, which was the case for mbedtls_x509write_{crt,csr}_pem
1595 until this property was inadvertently broken in Mbed TLS 2.19.0.
1596 Fixes #3682.
1597 * Fix a build failure that occurred with the MBEDTLS_AES_SETKEY_DEC_ALT
1598 option on. In this configuration key management methods that are required
1599 for MBEDTLS_CIPHER_MODE_XTS were excluded from the build and made it fail.
1600 Fixes #3818. Reported by John Stroebel.

1602Changes
1603 * Reduce stack usage significantly during sliding window exponentiation.
1604 Reported in #3591 and fix contributed in #3592 by Daniel Otte.
1605 * The PSA persistent storage format is updated to always store the key bits
1606 attribute. No automatic upgrade path is provided. Previously stored keys
1607 must be erased, or manually upgraded based on the key storage format
1608 specification (docs/architecture/mbed-crypto-storage-specification.md).
1609 Fixes #3740.
1610 * Remove the zeroization of a pointer variable in AES rounds. It was valid
1611 but spurious and misleading since it looked like a mistaken attempt to
1612 zeroize the pointed-to buffer. Reported by Antonio de la Piedra, CEA
1613 Leti, France.

1619 group families to psa_ecc_family_t and psa_dh_family_t, in line with the
1620 PSA Crypto API specification version 1.0.0.

1633 * The new function mbedtls_ecp_write_key() exports private ECC keys back to
1634 a byte buffer. It is the inverse of the existing mbedtls_ecp_read_key().
1635 * Support building on e2k (Elbrus) architecture: correctly enable
1636 -Wformat-signedness, and fix the code that causes signed-one-bit-field
1637 and sign-compare warnings. Contributed by makise-homura (Igor Molchanov)
1638 <akemi_homura@kurisa.ch>.

1640Security
1641 * Fix a vulnerability in the verification of X.509 certificates when
1642 matching the expected common name (the cn argument of
1643 mbedtls_x509_crt_verify()) with the actual certificate name: when the
1644 subjecAltName extension is present, the expected name was compared to any
1645 name in that extension regardless of its type. This means that an
1646 attacker could for example impersonate a 4-bytes or 16-byte domain by
1647 getting a certificate for the corresponding IPv4 or IPv6 (this would
1648 require the attacker to control that IP address, though). Similar attacks
1649 using other subjectAltName name types might be possible. Found and
1650 reported by kFYatek in #3498.
1651 * When checking X.509 CRLs, a certificate was only considered as revoked if
1652 its revocationDate was in the past according to the local clock if
1653 available. In particular, on builds without MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE,
1654 certificates were never considered as revoked. On builds with
1655 MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE, an attacker able to control the local clock (for
1656 example, an untrusted OS attacking a secure enclave) could prevent
1657 revocation of certificates via CRLs. Fixed by no longer checking the
1658 revocationDate field, in accordance with RFC 5280. Reported by
1659 yuemonangong in #3340. Reported independently and fixed by
1660 Raoul Strackx and Jethro Beekman in #3433.
1661 * In (D)TLS record decryption, when using a CBC ciphersuites without the
1662 Encrypt-then-Mac extension, use constant code flow memory access patterns
1663 to extract and check the MAC. This is an improvement to the existing
1664 countermeasure against Lucky 13 attacks. The previous countermeasure was
1665 effective against network-based attackers, but less so against local
1666 attackers. The new countermeasure defends against local attackers, even
1667 if they have access to fine-grained measurements. In particular, this
1668 fixes a local Lucky 13 cache attack found and reported by Tuba Yavuz,
1669 Farhaan Fowze, Ken (Yihan) Bai, Grant Hernandez, and Kevin Butler
1670 (University of Florida) and Dave Tian (Purdue University).
1671 * Fix side channel in RSA private key operations and static (finite-field)
1672 Diffie-Hellman. An adversary with precise enough timing and memory access
1673 information (typically an untrusted operating system attacking a secure
1674 enclave) could bypass an existing counter-measure (base blinding) and
1675 potentially fully recover the private key.
1676 * Fix a 1-byte buffer overread in mbedtls_x509_crl_parse_der().
1677 Credit to OSS-Fuzz for detecting the problem and to Philippe Antoine
1678 for pinpointing the problematic code.
1679 * Zeroising of plaintext buffers in mbedtls_ssl_read() to erase unused
1680 application data from memory. Reported in #689 by
1681 Johan Uppman Bruce of Sectra.

1684 * Library files installed after a CMake build no longer have execute
1685 permission.
1686 * Use local labels in mbedtls_padlock_has_support() to fix an invalid symbol
1687 redefinition if the function is inlined.
1688 Reported in #3451 and fix contributed in #3452 by okhowang.
1689 * Fix the endianness of Curve25519 keys imported/exported through the PSA
1690 APIs. psa_import_key and psa_export_key will now correctly expect/output
1691 Montgomery keys in little-endian as defined by RFC7748. Contributed by
1692 Steven Cooreman in #3425.
1693 * Fix build errors when the only enabled elliptic curves are Montgomery
1694 curves. Raised by signpainter in #941 and by Taiki-San in #1412. This
1695 also fixes missing declarations reported by Steven Cooreman in #1147.
1696 * Fix self-test failure when the only enabled short Weierstrass elliptic
1697 curve is secp192k1. Fixes #2017.
1698 * PSA key import will now correctly import a Curve25519/Curve448 public key
1699 instead of erroring out. Contributed by Steven Cooreman in #3492.
1700 * Use arc4random_buf on NetBSD instead of rand implementation with cyclical
1701 lower bits. Fix contributed in #3540.
1702 * Fix a memory leak in mbedtls_md_setup() when using HMAC under low memory
1703 conditions. Reported and fix suggested by Guido Vranken in #3486.
1704 * Fix bug in redirection of unit test outputs on platforms where stdout is
1705 defined as a macro. First reported in #2311 and fix contributed in #3528.
1706
1707Changes
1708 * Only pass -Wformat-signedness to versions of GCC that support it. Reported
1709 in #3478 and fix contributed in #3479 by okhowang.
1710 * Reduce the stack consumption of mbedtls_x509write_csr_der() which
1711 previously could lead to stack overflow on constrained devices.
1712 Contributed by Doru Gucea and Simon Leet in #3464.
1713 * Undefine the ASSERT macro before defining it locally, in case it is defined
1714 in a platform header. Contributed by Abdelatif Guettouche in #3557.
1715 * Update copyright notices to use Linux Foundation guidance. As a result,
1716 the copyright of contributors other than Arm is now acknowledged, and the
1717 years of publishing are no longer tracked in the source files. This also
1718 eliminates the need for the lines declaring the files to be part of
1719 MbedTLS. Fixes #3457.
1720 * Add the command line parameter key_pwd to the ssl_client2 and ssl_server2
1721 example applications which allows to provide a password for the key file
1722 specified through the existing key_file argument. This allows the use of
1723 these applications with password-protected key files. Analogously but for
1724 ssl_server2 only, add the command line parameter key_pwd2 which allows to
1725 set a password for the key file provided through the existing key_file2
1726 argument.

1731 * In the experimental PSA secure element interface, change the encoding of
1732 key lifetimes to encode a persistence level and the location. Although C
1733 prototypes do not effectively change, code calling
1734 psa_register_se_driver() must be modified to pass the driver's location
1735 instead of the keys' lifetime. If the library is upgraded on an existing
1736 device, keys created with the old lifetime value will not be readable or
1737 removable through Mbed TLS after the upgrade.

1739Features
1740 * New functions in the error module return constant strings for
1741 high- and low-level error codes, complementing mbedtls_strerror()
1742 which constructs a string for any error code, including compound
1743 ones, but requires a writable buffer. Contributed by Gaurav Aggarwal
1744 in #3176.
1745 * The new utility programs/ssl/ssl_context_info prints a human-readable
1746 dump of an SSL context saved with mbedtls_ssl_context_save().
1747 * Add support for midipix, a POSIX layer for Microsoft Windows.
1748 * Add new mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() routine which allows
1749 parsing unsupported certificate extensions via user provided callback.
1750 Contributed by Nicola Di Lieto <nicola.dilieto@gmail.com> in #3243 as
1751 a solution to #3241.
1752 * Pass the "certificate policies" extension to the callback supplied to
1753 mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() if it contains unsupported
1754 policies (#3419).
1755 * Added support to entropy_poll for the kern.arandom syscall supported on

1763 of Technology); and Marcus Peinado (Microsoft Research). Reported by Raoul
1764 Strackx (Fortanix) in #3394.
1765 * Fix side channel in mbedtls_ecp_check_pub_priv() and
1766 mbedtls_pk_parse_key() / mbedtls_pk_parse_keyfile() (when loading a
1767 private key that didn't include the uncompressed public key), as well as
1768 mbedtls_ecp_mul() / mbedtls_ecp_mul_restartable() when called with a NULL
1769 f_rng argument. An attacker with access to precise enough timing and
1770 memory access information (typically an untrusted operating system
1771 attacking a secure enclave) could fully recover the ECC private key.
1772 Found and reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Brumley.
1773 * Fix issue in Lucky 13 counter-measure that could make it ineffective when
1774 hardware accelerators were used (using one of the MBEDTLS_SHAxxx_ALT
1775 macros). This would cause the original Lucky 13 attack to be possible in
1776 those configurations, allowing an active network attacker to recover
1777 plaintext after repeated timing measurements under some conditions.
1778 Reported and fix suggested by Luc Perneel in #3246.
1779
1780Bugfix
1781 * Fix the Visual Studio Release x64 build configuration for mbedtls itself.
1782 Completes a previous fix in Mbed TLS 2.19 that only fixed the build for
1783 the example programs. Reported in #1430 and fix contributed by irwir.
1784 * Fix undefined behavior in X.509 certificate parsing if the
1785 pathLenConstraint basic constraint value is equal to INT_MAX.
1786 The actual effect with almost every compiler is the intended
1787 behavior, so this is unlikely to be exploitable anywhere. #3192
1788 * Fix issue with a detected HW accelerated record error not being exposed
1789 due to shadowed variable. Contributed by Sander Visser in #3310.
1790 * Avoid NULL pointer dereferencing if mbedtls_ssl_free() is called with a
1791 NULL pointer argument. Contributed by Sander Visser in #3312.
1792 * Fix potential linker errors on dual world platforms by inlining
1793 mbedtls_gcc_group_to_psa(). This allows the pk.c module to link separately
1794 from psa_crypto.c. Fixes #3300.
1795 * Remove dead code in X.509 certificate parsing. Contributed by irwir in
1796 #2855.
1797 * Include asn1.h in error.c. Fixes #3328 reported by David Hu.
1798 * Fix potential memory leaks in ecp_randomize_jac() and ecp_randomize_mxz()
1799 when PRNG function fails. Contributed by Jonas Lejeune in #3318.
1800 * Remove unused macros from MSVC projects. Reported in #3297 and fix
1801 submitted in #3333 by irwir.
1802 * Add additional bounds checks in ssl_write_client_hello() preventing
1803 output buffer overflow if the configuration declared a buffer that was
1804 too small.
1805 * Set _POSIX_C_SOURCE to at least 200112L in C99 code. Reported in #3420 and
1806 fix submitted in #3421 by Nia Alarie.
1807 * Fix building library/net_sockets.c and the ssl_mail_client program on
1808 NetBSD. Contributed by Nia Alarie in #3422.
1809 * Fix false positive uninitialised variable reported by cpp-check.
1810 Contributed by Sander Visser in #3311.
1811 * Update iv and len context pointers manually when reallocating buffers
1812 using the MBEDTLS_SSL_VARIABLE_BUFFER_LENGTH feature. This caused issues
1813 when receiving a connection with CID, when these fields were shifted
1814 in ssl_parse_record_header().
1815
1816Changes
1817 * Fix warnings about signedness issues in format strings. The build is now
1818 clean of -Wformat-signedness warnings. Contributed by Kenneth Soerensen
1819 in #3153.
1820 * Fix minor performance issue in operations on Curve25519 caused by using a
1821 suboptimal modular reduction in one place. Found and fix contributed by
1822 Aurelien Jarno in #3209.
1823 * Combine identical cases in switch statements in md.c. Contributed
1824 by irwir in #3208.
1825 * Simplify a bounds check in ssl_write_certificate_request(). Contributed
1826 by irwir in #3150.
1827 * Unify the example programs termination to call mbedtls_exit() instead of
1828 using a return command. This has been done to enable customization of the
1829 behavior in bare metal environments.
1830 * Fix mbedtls_x509_dn_gets to escape non-ASCII characters as "?".
1831 Contributed by Koh M. Nakagawa in #3326.
1832 * Use FindPython3 when cmake version >= 3.15.0
1833 * Abort the ClientHello writing function as soon as some extension doesn't
1834 fit into the record buffer. Previously, such extensions were silently
1835 dropped. As a consequence, the TLS handshake now fails when the output
1836 buffer is not large enough to hold the ClientHello.
1837 * The unit tests now rely on header files in tests/include/test and source
1838 files in tests/src. When building with make or cmake, the files in
1839 tests/src are compiled and the resulting object linked into each test
1840 executable.
1841 * The ECP module, enabled by `MBEDTLS_ECP_C`, now depends on
1842 `MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_C` or `MBEDTLS_HMAC_DRBG_C` for some side-channel
1843 coutermeasures. If side channels are not a concern, this dependency can
1844 be avoided by enabling the new option `MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_INTERNAL_RNG`.
1845 * Align MSVC error flag with GCC and Clang. Contributed by Carlos Gomes
1846 Martinho. #3147
1847 * Remove superfluous assignment in mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate(). Reported

1855 SSL module for hardware acceleration of individual records.
1856 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len() in favour of
1857 mbedtls_ssl_get_output_max_frag_len() and
1858 mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() to be more precise about which max

1861Security
1862 * Fix issue in DTLS handling of new associations with the same parameters
1863 (RFC 6347 section 4.2.8): an attacker able to send forged UDP packets to
1864 the server could cause it to drop established associations with
1865 legitimate clients, resulting in a Denial of Service. This could only
1866 happen when MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE was enabled in config.h
1867 (which it is by default).
1868 * Fix side channel in ECC code that allowed an adversary with access to
1869 precise enough timing and memory access information (typically an
1870 untrusted operating system attacking a secure enclave) to fully recover
1871 an ECDSA private key. Found and reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya,
1872 Billy Brumley and Cesar Pereida Garcia. CVE-2020-10932
1873 * Fix a potentially remotely exploitable buffer overread in a
1874 DTLS client when parsing the Hello Verify Request message.
1875
1876Features
1877 * The new build option MBEDTLS_SSL_VARIABLE_BUFFER_LENGTH automatically
1878 resizes the I/O buffers before and after handshakes, reducing the memory

1881Bugfix
1882 * Fix compilation failure when both MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_DTLS and
1883 MBEDTLS_SSL_HW_RECORD_ACCEL are enabled.
1884 * Remove a spurious check in ssl_parse_client_psk_identity that triggered
1885 a warning with some compilers. Fix contributed by irwir in #2856.
1886 * Fix a function name in a debug message. Contributed by Ercan Ozturk in
1887 #3013.
1888
1889Changes
1890 * Mbed Crypto is no longer a Git submodule. The crypto part of the library
1891 is back directly in the present repository.
1892 * Split mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len() into
1893 mbedtls_ssl_get_output_max_frag_len() and
1894 mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() to ensure that a sufficient input
1895 buffer is allocated by the server (if MBEDTLS_SSL_VARIABLE_BUFFER_LENGTH
1896 is defined), regardless of what MFL was configured for it.

1904 * Deprecate for MBEDTLS_PKCS11_C, the wrapper around the pkcs11-helper
1905 library which allows TLS authentication to use keys stored in a
1906 PKCS#11 token such as a smartcard.

1909 * Fix potential memory overread when performing an ECDSA signature
1910 operation. The overread only happens with cryptographically low
1911 probability (of the order of 2^-n where n is the bitsize of the curve)
1912 unless the RNG is broken, and could result in information disclosure or
1913 denial of service (application crash or extra resource consumption).
1914 Found by Auke Zeilstra and Peter Schwabe, using static analysis.
1915 * To avoid a side channel vulnerability when parsing an RSA private key,
1916 read all the CRT parameters from the DER structure rather than
1917 reconstructing them. Found by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Bob
1918 Brumley. Reported and fix contributed by Jack Lloyd.

1923 support without SHA-384.
1924
1925API changes
1926 * Change the encoding of key types and curves in the PSA API. The new
1927 values are aligned with the upcoming release of the PSA Crypto API
1928 specification version 1.0.0. The main change which may break some
1929 existing code is that elliptic curve key types no longer encode the
1930 exact curve: a psa_ecc_curve_t or psa_key_type_t value only encodes
1931 a curve family and the key size determines the exact curve (for example,
1932 PSA_ECC_CURVE_SECP_R1 with 256 bits is P256R1). ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#330

1941 a cryptographic accelerator fails. ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#345
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001942 * Fix a bug in mbedtls_pk_parse_key() that would cause it to accept some

1950Default behavior changes
1951 * The initial seeding of a CTR_DRBG instance makes a second call to the
1952 entropy function to obtain entropy for a nonce if the entropy size is less
1953 than 3/2 times the key size. In case you want to disable the extra call to
1954 grab entropy, you can call mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len() to force the
1955 nonce length to 0.

1957Security
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02001958 * Enforce that mbedtls_entropy_func() gathers a total of
1959 MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_BLOCK_SIZE bytes or more from strong sources. In the
1960 default configuration, on a platform with a single entropy source, the
1961 entropy module formerly only grabbed 32 bytes, which is good enough for
1962 security if the source is genuinely strong, but less than the expected 64
1963 bytes (size of the entropy accumulator).
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001964 * Zeroize local variables in mbedtls_internal_aes_encrypt() and
1965 mbedtls_internal_aes_decrypt() before exiting the function. The value of
1966 these variables can be used to recover the last round key. To follow best
1967 practice and to limit the impact of buffer overread vulnerabilities (like
1968 Heartbleed) we need to zeroize them before exiting the function.
1969 Issue reported by Tuba Yavuz, Farhaan Fowze, Ken (Yihang) Bai,
1970 Grant Hernandez, and Kevin Butler (University of Florida) and
1971 Dave Tian (Purdue University).
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02001972 * Fix side channel vulnerability in ECDSA. Our bignum implementation is not
1973 constant time/constant trace, so side channel attacks can retrieve the
1974 blinded value, factor it (as it is smaller than RSA keys and not guaranteed
1975 to have only large prime factors), and then, by brute force, recover the
1976 key. Reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Brumley.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001977 * Fix side channel vulnerability in ECDSA key generation. Obtaining precise
1978 timings on the comparison in the key generation enabled the attacker to
1979 learn leading bits of the ephemeral key used during ECDSA signatures and to
1980 recover the private key. Reported by Jeremy Dubeuf.
1981 * Catch failure of AES functions in mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random(). Uncaught
1982 failures could happen with alternative implementations of AES. Bug
1983 reported and fix proposed by Johan Uppman Bruce and Christoffer Lauri,

1987 * Key derivation inputs in the PSA API can now either come from a key object
1988 or from a buffer regardless of the step type.
1989 * The CTR_DRBG module can grab a nonce from the entropy source during the
1990 initial seeding. The default nonce length is chosen based on the key size
1991 to achieve the security strength defined by NIST SP 800-90A. You can

2023 * psa_close_key(0) and psa_destroy_key(0) now succeed (doing nothing, as
2024 before).
2025 * Variables containing error codes are now initialized to an error code
2026 rather than success, so that coding mistakes or memory corruption tends to
2027 cause functions to return this error code rather than a success. There are
2028 no known instances where this changes the behavior of the library: this is

Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002060 * When writing a private EC key, use a constant size for the private
2061 value, as specified in RFC 5915. Previously, the value was written
2062 as an ASN.1 INTEGER, which caused the size of the key to leak
2063 about 1 bit of information on average and could cause the value to be
2064 1 byte too large for the output buffer.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02002065 * The deterministic ECDSA calculation reused the scheme's HMAC-DRBG to
2066 implement blinding. Because of this for the same key and message the same
2067 blinding value was generated. This reduced the effectiveness of the
2068 countermeasure and leaked information about the private key through side

2074 store it in non-volatile storage, and later using it for TLS session
2075 resumption.
2076 * Add a new API function mbedtls_ssl_check_record() to allow checking that
2077 an incoming record is valid, authentic and has not been seen before. This
2078 feature can be used alongside Connection ID and SSL context serialisation.
2079 The feature is enabled at compile-time by MBEDTLS_SSL_RECORD_CHECKING
2080 option.
2081 * New implementation of X25519 (ECDH using Curve25519) from Project Everest
2082 (https://project-everest.github.io/). It can be enabled at compile time
2083 with MBEDTLS_ECDH_VARIANT_EVEREST_ENABLED. This implementation is formally

2098 list all curves for which at least one of ECDH or ECDSA is supported, not
2099 just curves for which both are supported. Call mbedtls_ecdsa_can_do() or

2127 * Enable Suite B with subset of ECP curves. Make sure the code compiles even
2128 if some curves are not defined. Fixes #1591 reported by dbedev.
2129 * Fix misuse of signed arithmetic in the HAVEGE module. #2598
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02002130 * Avoid use of statically sized stack buffers for certificate writing.
2131 This previously limited the maximum size of DER encoded certificates
2132 in mbedtls_x509write_crt_der() to 2Kb. Reported by soccerGB in #2631.
2133 * Fix partial zeroing in x509_get_other_name. Found and fixed by ekse, #2716.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002134 * Update test certificates that were about to expire. Reported by
2135 Bernhard M. Wiedemann in #2357.
2136 * Fix the build on ARMv5TE in ARM mode to not use assembly instructions
2137 that are only available in Thumb mode. Fix contributed by Aurelien Jarno
2138 in #2169.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002139 * Fix propagation of restart contexts in restartable EC operations.
2140 This could previously lead to segmentation faults in builds using an
2141 address-sanitizer and enabling but not using MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE.
2142 * Fix memory leak in in mpi_miller_rabin(). Contributed by
2143 Jens Wiklander <jens.wiklander@linaro.org> in #2363
2144 * Improve code clarity in x509_crt module, removing false-positive
2145 uninitialized variable warnings on some recent toolchains (GCC8, etc).
2146 Discovered and fixed by Andy Gross (Linaro), #2392.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002147 * Fix bug in endianness conversion in bignum module. This lead to
2148 functionally incorrect code on bigendian systems which don't have
2149 __BYTE_ORDER__ defined. Reported by Brendan Shanks. Fixes #2622.

Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002153 * Make it easier to define MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED as assert (which config.h
2154 suggests). #2671
2155 * Make `make clean` clean all programs always. Fixes #1862.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02002156 * Add a Dockerfile and helper scripts (all-in-docker.sh, basic-in-docker.sh,
2157 docker-env.sh) to simplify running test suites on a Linux host. Contributed
2158 by Peter Kolbus (Garmin).
2159 * Add `reproducible` option to `ssl_client2` and `ssl_server2` to enable
2160 test runs without variability. Contributed by Philippe Antoine (Catena
2161 cyber) in #2681.
2162 * Extended .gitignore to ignore Visual Studio artifacts. Fixed by ConfusedSushi.
2163 * Adds fuzz targets, especially for continuous fuzzing with OSS-Fuzz.
2164 Contributed by Philippe Antoine (Catena cyber).
2165 * Remove the crypto part of the library from Mbed TLS. The crypto
2166 code and tests are now only available via Mbed Crypto, which
2167 Mbed TLS references as a Git submodule.

2184 * It is now possible to use NIST key wrap mode via the mbedtls_cipher API.
2185 Contributed by Jack Lloyd and Fortanix Inc.
2186 * Add the Wi-SUN Field Area Network (FAN) device extended key usage.
2187 * Add the oid certificate policy x509 extension.
2188 * It is now possible to perform RSA PKCS v1.5 signatures with RIPEMD-160 digest.
2189 Contributed by Jack Lloyd and Fortanix Inc.
2190 * Extend the MBEDTLS_SSL_EXPORT_KEYS to export the handshake randbytes,
2191 and the used tls-prf.
2192 * Add public API for tls-prf function, according to requested enum.
2193 * Add support for parsing otherName entries in the Subject Alternative Name
2194 X.509 certificate extension, specifically type hardware module name,
2195 as defined in RFC 4108 section 5.
2196 * Add support for parsing certificate policies extension, as defined in
2197 RFC 5280 section 4.2.1.4. Currently, only the "Any Policy" policy is
2198 supported.
2199 * List all SAN types in the subject_alt_names field of the certificate.
2200 Resolves #459.
2201 * Add support for draft-05 of the Connection ID extension, as specified
2202 in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-dtls-connection-id-05.
2203 The Connection ID extension allows to keep DTLS connections beyond the
2204 lifetime of the underlying transport by adding a connection identifier
2205 to the DTLS record header. This identifier can be used to associated an
2206 incoming record with the correct connection data even after the peer has
2207 changed its IP or port. The feature is enabled at compile-time by setting
2208 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID (disabled by default), and at run-time
2209 through the new APIs mbedtls_ssl_conf_cid() and mbedtls_ssl_set_cid().

2217Bugfix
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002218 * Fix private key DER output in the key_app_writer example. File contents
2219 were shifted by one byte, creating an invalid ASN.1 tag. Fixed by
2220 Christian Walther in #2239.
2221 * Fix potential memory leak in X.509 self test. Found and fixed by
2222 Junhwan Park, #2106.
2223 * Reduce stack usage of hkdf tests. Fixes #2195.
2224 * Fix 1-byte buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_write_string() when
2225 used with negative inputs. Found by Guido Vranken in #2404. Credit to
2226 OSS-Fuzz.
2227 * Fix bugs in the AEAD test suite which would be exposed by ciphers which
2228 either used both encrypt and decrypt key schedules, or which perform padding.
2229 GCM and CCM were not affected. Fixed by Jack Lloyd.
2230 * Fix incorrect default port number in ssl_mail_client example's usage.

2233 Fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin). #2579
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002234 * Add missing parentheses around parameters in the definition of the
2235 public macro MBEDTLS_X509_ID_FLAG. This could lead to invalid evaluation
2236 in case operators binding less strongly than subtraction were used
2237 for the parameter.
2238 * Add a check for MBEDTLS_X509_CRL_PARSE_C in ssl_server2, guarding the crl
2239 sni entry parameter. Reported by inestlerode in #560.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02002240 * Set the next sequence of the subject_alt_name to NULL when deleting

2244Changes
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02002245 * Server's RSA certificate in certs.c was SHA-1 signed. In the default
2246 mbedTLS configuration only SHA-2 signed certificates are accepted.
2247 This certificate is used in the demo server programs, which lead the
2248 client programs to fail at the peer's certificate verification
2249 due to an unacceptable hash signature. The certificate has been
2250 updated to one that is SHA-256 signed. Fix contributed by
2251 Illya Gerasymchuk.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002252 * Return from various debugging routines immediately if the

2254 * Remove dead code from bignum.c in the default configuration.
2255 Found by Coverity, reported and fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin). Fixes #2309.
2256 * Add test for minimal value of MBEDTLS_MPI_WINDOW_SIZE to all.sh.

2263Features
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02002264 * Add a new X.509 API call `mbedtls_x509_parse_der_nocopy()`
2265 which allows copy-less parsing of DER encoded X.509 CRTs,
2266 at the cost of additional lifetime constraints on the input
2267 buffer, but at the benefit of reduced RAM consumption.
2268 * Add a new function mbedtls_asn1_write_named_bitstring() to write ASN.1
2269 named bitstring in DER as required by RFC 5280 Appendix B.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002270 * Add MBEDTLS_REMOVE_3DES_CIPHERSUITES to allow removing 3DES ciphersuites
2271 from the default list (enabled by default). See
2272 https://sweet32.info/SWEET32_CCS16.pdf.
2273
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02002274API Changes
2275 * Add a new X.509 API call `mbedtls_x509_parse_der_nocopy()`.
2276 See the Features section for more information.
2277 * Allow to opt in to the removal the API mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()
2278 for the benefit of saving RAM, by disabling the new compile-time
2279 option MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE (enabled by default for
2280 API stability). Disabling this option makes mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()
2281 always return NULL, and removes the peer_cert field from the
2282 mbedtls_ssl_session structure which otherwise stores the peer's
2283 certificate.
2284
2285Security
2286 * Make mbedtls_ecdh_get_params return an error if the second key
2287 belongs to a different group from the first. Before, if an application
2288 passed keys that belonged to different group, the first key's data was
2289 interpreted according to the second group, which could lead to either
2290 an error or a meaningless output from mbedtls_ecdh_get_params. In the
2291 latter case, this could expose at most 5 bits of the private key.
2292
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002293Bugfix
2294 * Fix a compilation issue with mbedtls_ecp_restart_ctx not being defined
2295 when MBEDTLS_ECP_ALT is defined. Reported by jwhui. Fixes #2242.
2296 * Run the AD too long test only if MBEDTLS_CCM_ALT is not defined.
2297 Raised as a comment in #1996.
2298 * Reduce the stack consumption of mbedtls_mpi_fill_random() which could
2299 previously lead to a stack overflow on constrained targets.
2300 * Add `MBEDTLS_SELF_TEST` for the mbedtls_self_test functions
2301 in the header files, which missed the precompilation check. #971
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02002302 * Fix returning the value 1 when mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey failed.
2303 * Remove a duplicate #include in a sample program. Fixed by Masashi Honma #2326.
2304 * Remove the mbedtls namespacing from the header file, to fix a "file not found"
2305 build error. Fixed by Haijun Gu #2319.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002306 * Fix signed-to-unsigned integer conversion warning
2307 in X.509 module. Fixes #2212.
2308 * Reduce stack usage of `mpi_write_hlp()` by eliminating recursion.
2309 Fixes #2190.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002310 * Fix false failure in all.sh when backup files exist in include/mbedtls
2311 (e.g. config.h.bak). Fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin) #2407.
2312 * Ensure that unused bits are zero when writing ASN.1 bitstrings when using
2313 mbedtls_asn1_write_bitstring().
2314 * Fix issue when writing the named bitstrings in KeyUsage and NsCertType
2315 extensions in CSRs and CRTs that caused these bitstrings to not be encoded
2316 correctly as trailing zeroes were not accounted for as unused bits in the
2317 leading content octet. Fixes #1610.

2319Changes
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02002320 * Reduce RAM consumption during session renegotiation by not storing
2321 the peer CRT chain and session ticket twice.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002322 * Include configuration file in all header files that use configuration,
2323 instead of relying on other header files that they include.
2324 Inserted as an enhancement for #1371
2325 * Add support for alternative CSR headers, as used by Microsoft and defined
2326 in RFC 7468. Found by Michael Ernst. Fixes #767.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02002327 * Correct many misspellings. Fixed by MisterDA #2371.
2328 * Provide an abstraction of vsnprintf to allow alternative implementations
2329 for platforms that don't provide it. Based on contributions by Joris Aerts
2330 and Nathaniel Wesley Filardo.
2331 * Fix clobber list in MIPS assembly for large integer multiplication.
2332 Previously, this could lead to functionally incorrect assembly being
2333 produced by some optimizing compilers, showing up as failures in
2334 e.g. RSA or ECC signature operations. Reported in #1722, fix suggested
2335 by Aurelien Jarno and submitted by Jeffrey Martin.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002336 * Reduce the complexity of the timing tests. They were assuming more than the
2337 underlying OS actually guarantees.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02002338 * Fix configuration queries in ssl-opt.h. #2030
2339 * Ensure that ssl-opt.h can be run in OS X. #2029
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002340 * Re-enable certain interoperability tests in ssl-opt.sh which had previously
2341 been disabled for lack of a sufficiently recent version of GnuTLS on the CI.
2342 * Ciphersuites based on 3DES now have the lowest priority by default when
2343 they are enabled.

2346
2347Features
2348 * Add a new config.h option of MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS that enables validation
2349 of parameters in the API. This allows detection of obvious misuses of the
2350 API, such as passing NULL pointers. The API of existing functions hasn't
2351 changed, but requirements on parameters have been made more explicit in
2352 the documentation. See the corresponding API documentation for each
2353 function to see for which parameter values it is defined. This feature is
2354 disabled by default. See its API documentation in config.h for additional
2355 steps you have to take when enabling it.
2356
2357API Changes
2358 * The following functions in the random generator modules have been
2359 deprecated and replaced as shown below. The new functions change
2360 the return type from void to int to allow returning error codes when
2361 using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT for the underlying AES or message digest
2362 primitive. Fixes #1798.
2363 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update() -> mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret()
2364 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update() -> mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update_ret()
2365 * Extend ECDH interface to enable alternative implementations.
2366 * Deprecate error codes of the form MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx_INVALID_KEY_LENGTH for
2367 ARIA, CAMELLIA and Blowfish. These error codes will be replaced by
2368 the more generic per-module error codes MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx_BAD_INPUT_DATA.
2369 * Additional parameter validation checks have been added for the following
2370 modules - AES, ARIA, Blowfish, CAMELLIA, CCM, GCM, DHM, ECP, ECDSA, ECDH,
2371 ECJPAKE, SHA, Chacha20 and Poly1305, cipher, pk, RSA, and MPI.
2372 Where modules have had parameter validation added, existing parameter
2373 checks may have changed. Some modules, such as Chacha20 had existing
2374 parameter validation whereas other modules had little. This has now been
2375 changed so that the same level of validation is present in all modules, and
2376 that it is now optional with the MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS flag which by default
2377 is off. That means that checks which were previously present by default
2378 will no longer be.
2379
2380New deprecations
2381 * Deprecate mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update
2382 in favor of functions that can return an error code.

2386 assembly for AMD64 targets creating string literals greater than those
2387 permitted by the ISO C99 standard. Found by Aaron Jones. Fixes #482.
2388 * Fix runtime error in `mbedtls_platform_entropy_poll()` when run
2389 through qemu user emulation. Reported and fix suggested by randombit
2390 in #1212. Fixes #1212.
2391 * Fix an unsafe bounds check when restoring an SSL session from a ticket.
2392 This could lead to a buffer overflow, but only in case ticket authentication
2393 was broken. Reported and fix suggested by Guido Vranken in #659.
2394 * Add explicit integer to enumeration type casts to example program
2395 programs/pkey/gen_key which previously led to compilation failure
2396 on some toolchains. Reported by phoenixmcallister. Fixes #2170.
2397 * Fix double initialization of ECC hardware that made some accelerators

2422Security
2423 * Fix timing variations and memory access variations in RSA PKCS#1 v1.5
2424 decryption that could lead to a Bleichenbacher-style padding oracle
2425 attack. In TLS, this affects servers that accept ciphersuites based on
2426 RSA decryption (i.e. ciphersuites whose name contains RSA but not
2427 (EC)DH(E)). Discovered by Eyal Ronen (Weizmann Institute), Robert Gillham
2428 (University of Adelaide), Daniel Genkin (University of Michigan),
2429 Adi Shamir (Weizmann Institute), David Wong (NCC Group), and Yuval Yarom
2430 (University of Adelaide, Data61). The attack is described in more detail
2431 in the paper available here: http://cat.eyalro.net/cat.pdf CVE-2018-19608
2432 * In mbedtls_mpi_write_binary(), don't leak the exact size of the number
2433 via branching and memory access patterns. An attacker who could submit
2434 a plaintext for RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 decryption but only observe the timing
2435 of the decryption and not its result could nonetheless decrypt RSA
2436 plaintexts and forge RSA signatures. Other asymmetric algorithms may
2437 have been similarly vulnerable. Reported by Eyal Ronen, Robert Gillham,
2438 Daniel Genkin, Adi Shamir, David Wong and Yuval Yarom.
2439 * Wipe sensitive buffers on the stack in the CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG
2440 modules.
2441
2442API Changes
2443 * The new functions mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret() and
2444 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update_ret() are similar to mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update()
2445 and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update() respectively, but the new functions
2446 report errors whereas the old functions return void. We recommend that
2447 applications use the new functions.

2451Security
2452 * Fix overly strict DN comparison when looking for CRLs belonging to a
2453 particular CA. This previously led to ignoring CRLs when the CRL's issuer
2454 name and the CA's subject name differed in their string encoding (e.g.,
2455 one using PrintableString and the other UTF8String) or in the choice of
2456 upper and lower case. Reported by Henrik Andersson of Bosch GmbH in issue
2457 #1784.
2458 * Fix a flawed bounds check in server PSK hint parsing. In case the
2459 incoming message buffer was placed within the first 64KiB of address
2460 space and a PSK-(EC)DHE ciphersuite was used, this allowed an attacker
2461 to trigger a memory access up to 64KiB beyond the incoming message buffer,
2462 potentially leading to an application crash or information disclosure.
2463 * Fix mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() to use more rounds of probabilistic testing. The
2464 previous settings for the number of rounds made it practical for an
2465 adversary to construct non-primes that would be erroneously accepted as
2466 primes with high probability. This does not have an impact on the
2467 security of TLS, but can matter in other contexts with numbers chosen
2468 potentially by an adversary that should be prime and can be validated.
2469 For example, the number of rounds was enough to securely generate RSA key
2470 pairs or Diffie-Hellman parameters, but was insufficient to validate
2471 Diffie-Hellman parameters properly.
2472 See "Prime and Prejudice" by by Martin R. Albrecht and Jake Massimo and
2473 Kenneth G. Paterson and Juraj Somorovsky.
2474
2475Features
2476 * Add support for temporarily suspending expensive ECC computations after
2477 some configurable amount of operations. This is intended to be used in
2478 constrained, single-threaded systems where ECC is time consuming and can
2479 block other operations until they complete. This is disabled by default,
2480 but can be enabled by MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE at compile time and
2481 configured by mbedtls_ecp_set_max_ops() at runtime. It applies to the new
2482 xxx_restartable functions in ECP, ECDSA, PK and X.509 (CRL not supported
2483 yet), and to existing functions in ECDH and SSL (currently only
2484 implemented client-side, for ECDHE-ECDSA ciphersuites in TLS 1.2,
2485 including client authentication).
2486 * Add support for Arm CPU DSP extensions to accelerate asymmetric key
2487 operations. On CPUs where the extensions are available, they can accelerate
2488 MPI multiplications used in ECC and RSA cryptography. Contributed by
2489 Aurelien Jarno.
2490 * Extend RSASSA-PSS signature to allow a smaller salt size. Previously, PSS
2491 signature always used a salt with the same length as the hash, and returned
2492 an error if this was not possible. Now the salt size may be up to two bytes
2493 shorter. This allows the library to support all hash and signature sizes
2494 that comply with FIPS 186-4, including SHA-512 with a 1024-bit key.
2495 * Add support for 128-bit keys in CTR_DRBG. Note that using keys shorter
2496 than 256 bits limits the security of generated material to 128 bits.
2497
2498API Changes
2499 * Add a common error code of `MBEDTLS_ERR_PLATFORM_FEATURE_UNSUPPORTED` for
2500 a feature that is not supported by underlying alternative
2501 implementations implementing cryptographic primitives. This is useful for
2502 hardware accelerators that don't implement all options or features.
2503
2504New deprecations
2505 * All module specific errors following the form
2506 MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE that indicate a feature is not
2507 supported are deprecated and are now replaced by the new equivalent
2508 platform error.
2509 * All module specific generic hardware acceleration errors following the
2510 form MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED that are deprecated and are replaced
2511 by the equivalent plaform error.
2512 * Deprecate the function mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() in favor of
2513 mbedtls_mpi_is_prime_ext() which allows specifying the number of
2514 Miller-Rabin rounds.
2515
2516Bugfix
2517 * Fix wrong order of freeing in programs/ssl/ssl_server2 example
2518 application leading to a memory leak in case both
2519 MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C and MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BACKTRACE are set.
2520 Fixes #2069.
2521 * Fix a bug in the update function for SSL ticket keys which previously
2522 invalidated keys of a lifetime of less than a 1s. Fixes #1968.
2523 * Fix failure in hmac_drbg in the benchmark sample application, when
2524 MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is defined. Found by TrinityTonic, #1095
2525 * Fix a bug in the record decryption routine ssl_decrypt_buf()
2526 which lead to accepting properly authenticated but improperly
2527 padded records in case of CBC ciphersuites using Encrypt-then-MAC.
2528 * Fix memory leak and freeing without initialization in the example
2529 program programs/x509/cert_write. Fixes #1422.
2530 * Ignore IV in mbedtls_cipher_set_iv() when the cipher mode is
2531 MBEDTLS_MODE_ECB. Found by ezdevelop. Fixes #1091.
2532 * Zeroize memory used for buffering or reassembling handshake messages
2533 after use.
2534 * Use `mbedtls_platform_zeroize()` instead of `memset()` for zeroization
2535 of sensitive data in the example programs aescrypt2 and crypt_and_hash.
2536 * Change the default string format used for various X.509 DN attributes to
2537 UTF8String. Previously, the use of the PrintableString format led to
2538 wildcards and non-ASCII characters being unusable in some DN attributes.
2539 Reported by raprepo in #1860 and by kevinpt in #468. Fix contributed by
2540 Thomas-Dee.
2541 * Fix compilation failure for configurations which use compile time
2542 replacements of standard calloc/free functions through the macros
2543 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_CALLOC_MACRO and MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_FREE_MACRO.
2544 Reported by ole-de and ddhome2006. Fixes #882, #1642 and #1706.
2545
2546Changes
2547 * Removed support for Yotta as a build tool.
2548 * Add tests for session resumption in DTLS.
2549 * Close a test gap in (D)TLS between the client side and the server side:
2550 test the handling of large packets and small packets on the client side
2551 in the same way as on the server side.
2552 * Change the dtls_client and dtls_server samples to work by default over
2553 IPv6 and optionally by a build option over IPv4.
2554 * Change the use of Windows threading to use Microsoft Visual C++ runtime
2555 calls, rather than Win32 API calls directly. This is necessary to avoid
2556 conflict with C runtime usage. Found and fixed by irwir.
2557 * Remember the string format of X.509 DN attributes when replicating
2558 X.509 DNs. Previously, DN attributes were always written in their default
2559 string format (mostly PrintableString), which could lead to CRTs being
2560 created which used PrintableStrings in the issuer field even though the
2561 signing CA used UTF8Strings in its subject field; while X.509 compliant,
2562 such CRTs were rejected in some applications, e.g. some versions of
2563 Firefox, curl and GnuTLS. Reported in #1033 by Moschn. Fix contributed by
2564 Thomas-Dee.
2565 * Improve documentation of mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result().
2566 Fixes #517 reported by github-monoculture.
2567 * Add MBEDTLS_MPI_GEN_PRIME_FLAG_LOW_ERR flag to mbedtls_mpi_gen_prime() and
2568 use it to reduce error probability in RSA key generation to levels mandated
2569 by FIPS-186-4.

2571= mbed TLS 2.13.1 branch released 2018-09-06
2572
2573API Changes
2574 * Extend the platform module with an abstraction mbedtls_platform_gmtime_r()
2575 whose implementation should behave as a thread-safe version of gmtime().
2576 This allows users to configure such an implementation at compile time when
2577 the target system cannot be deduced automatically, by setting the option
2578 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_GMTIME_R_ALT. At this stage Mbed TLS is only able to
2579 automatically select implementations for Windows and POSIX C libraries.
2580
2581Bugfix
2582 * Fix build failures on platforms where only gmtime() is available but
2583 neither gmtime_r() nor gmtime_s() are present. Fixes #1907.
2584

2586
2587Security
2588 * Fix an issue in the X.509 module which could lead to a buffer overread
2589 during certificate extensions parsing. In case of receiving malformed
2590 input (extensions length field equal to 0), an illegal read of one byte
2591 beyond the input buffer is made. Found and analyzed by Nathan Crandall.
2592
2593Features
2594 * Add support for fragmentation of outgoing DTLS handshake messages. This
2595 is controlled by the maximum fragment length as set locally or negotiated
2596 with the peer, as well as by a new per-connection MTU option, set using
2597 mbedtls_ssl_set_mtu().
2598 * Add support for auto-adjustment of MTU to a safe value during the
2599 handshake when flights do not get through (RFC 6347, section 4.1.1.1,
2600 last paragraph).
2601 * Add support for packing multiple records within a single datagram,
2602 enabled by default.
2603 * Add support for buffering out-of-order handshake messages in DTLS.
2604 The maximum amount of RAM used for this can be controlled by the
2605 compile-time constant MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_MAX_BUFFERING defined
2606 in mbedtls/config.h.
2607
2608API Changes
2609 * Add function mbedtls_ssl_set_datagram_packing() to configure
2610 the use of datagram packing (enabled by default).
2611
2612Bugfix
2613 * Fix a potential memory leak in mbedtls_ssl_setup() function. An allocation
2614 failure in the function could lead to other buffers being leaked.
2615 * Fixes an issue with MBEDTLS_CHACHAPOLY_C which would not compile if
2616 MBEDTLS_ARC4_C and MBEDTLS_CIPHER_NULL_CIPHER weren't also defined. #1890
2617 * Fix a memory leak in ecp_mul_comb() if ecp_precompute_comb() fails.
2618 Fix contributed by Espressif Systems.
2619 * Add ecc extensions only if an ecc based ciphersuite is used.
2620 This improves compliance to RFC 4492, and as a result, solves
2621 interoperability issues with BouncyCastle. Raised by milenamil in #1157.
2622 * Replace printf with mbedtls_printf in the ARIA module. Found by
2623 TrinityTonic in #1908.
2624 * Fix potential use-after-free in mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len()
2625 and mbedtls_ssl_get_record_expansion() after a session reset. Fixes #1941.
2626 * Fix a bug that caused SSL/TLS clients to incorrectly abort the handshake
2627 with TLS versions 1.1 and earlier when the server requested authentication
2628 without providing a list of CAs. This was due to an overly strict bounds
2629 check in parsing the CertificateRequest message,
2630 introduced in Mbed TLS 2.12.0. Fixes #1954.
2631 * Fix a miscalculation of the maximum record expansion in
2632 mbedtls_ssl_get_record_expansion() in case of ChachaPoly ciphersuites,
2633 or CBC ciphersuites in (D)TLS versions 1.1 or higher. Fixes #1913, #1914.
2634 * Fix undefined shifts with negative values in certificates parsing
2635 (found by Catena cyber using oss-fuzz)
2636 * Fix memory leak and free without initialization in pk_encrypt
2637 and pk_decrypt example programs. Reported by Brace Stout. Fixes #1128.
2638 * Remove redundant else statement. Raised by irwir. Fixes #1776.
2639
2640Changes
2641 * Copy headers preserving timestamps when doing a "make install".
2642 Contributed by xueruini.
2643 * Allow the forward declaration of public structs. Contributed by Dawid
2644 Drozd. Fixes #1215 raised by randombit.
2645 * Improve compatibility with some alternative CCM implementations by using
2646 CCM test vectors from RAM.
2647 * Add support for buffering of out-of-order handshake messages.
2648 * Add warnings to the documentation of the HKDF module to reduce the risk
2649 of misusing the mbedtls_hkdf_extract() and mbedtls_hkdf_expand()
2650 functions. Fixes #1775. Reported by Brian J. Murray.

2654Security
2655 * Fix a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based on CBC and using SHA-384,
2656 in (D)TLS 1.0 to 1.2, that allowed an active network attacker to
2657 partially recover the plaintext of messages under some conditions by
2658 exploiting timing measurements. With DTLS, the attacker could perform
2659 this recovery by sending many messages in the same connection. With TLS
2660 or if mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only
2661 worked if the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly
2662 sent over connections manipulated by the attacker. Connections using GCM
2663 or CCM instead of CBC, using hash sizes other than SHA-384, or using
2664 Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected. The vulnerability was
2665 caused by a miscalculation (for SHA-384) in a countermeasure to the
2666 original Lucky 13 attack. Found by Kenny Paterson, Eyal Ronen and Adi
2667 Shamir.
2668 * Fix a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based on CBC, in (D)TLS 1.0 to
2669 1.2, that allowed a local attacker, able to execute code on the local
2670 machine as well as manipulate network packets, to partially recover the
2671 plaintext of messages under some conditions by using a cache attack
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002672 targeting an internal MD/SHA buffer. With TLS or if
Jens Wiklander3d3b0592019-03-20 15:30:29 +01002673 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only worked if
2674 the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly sent over
2675 connections manipulated by the attacker. Connections using GCM or CCM
2676 instead of CBC or using Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected.
2677 Found by Kenny Paterson, Eyal Ronen and Adi Shamir.
2678 * Add a counter-measure against a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based
2679 on CBC, in (D)TLS 1.0 to 1.2, that allowed a local attacker, able to
2680 execute code on the local machine as well as manipulate network packets,
2681 to partially recover the plaintext of messages under some conditions (see
2682 previous entry) by using a cache attack targeting the SSL input record
2683 buffer. Connections using GCM or CCM instead of CBC or using
2684 Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected. Found by Kenny Paterson,
2685 Eyal Ronen and Adi Shamir.
2686
2687Features
2688 * Add new crypto primitives from RFC 7539: stream cipher Chacha20, one-time
2689 authenticator Poly1305 and AEAD construct Chacha20-Poly1305. Contributed
2690 by Daniel King.
2691 * Add support for CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites from RFC 7905.
2692 * Add platform support for the Haiku OS. (https://www.haiku-os.org).
2693 Contributed by Augustin Cavalier.
2694 * Make the receive and transmit buffers independent sizes, for situations
2695 where the outgoing buffer can be fixed at a smaller size than the incoming
2696 buffer, which can save some RAM. If buffer lengths are kept equal, there
2697 is no functional difference. Contributed by Angus Gratton, and also
2698 independently contributed again by Paul Sokolovsky.
2699 * Add support for key wrapping modes based on AES as defined by
2700 NIST SP 800-38F algorithms KW and KWP and by RFC 3394 and RFC 5649.
2701

2712 Philippe Antoine. Fixes #1623.
2713 * Remove unused headers included in x509.c. Found by Chris Hanson and fixed
2714 by Brendan Shanks. Part of a fix for #992.
2715 * Fix compilation error when MBEDTLS_ARC4_C is disabled and
2716 MBEDTLS_CIPHER_NULL_CIPHER is enabled. Found by TrinityTonic in #1719.
2717 * Added length checks to some TLS parsing functions. Found and fixed by
2718 Philippe Antoine from Catena cyber. #1663.
2719 * Fix the inline assembly for the MPI multiply helper function for i386 and
2720 i386 with SSE2. Found by László Langó. Fixes #1550
2721 * Fix namespacing in header files. Remove the `mbedtls` namespacing in
2722 the `#include` in the header files. Resolves #857
2723 * Fix compiler warning of 'use before initialisation' in
2724 mbedtls_pk_parse_key(). Found by Martin Boye Petersen and fixed by Dawid
2725 Drozd. #1098
2726 * Fix decryption for zero length messages (which contain all padding) when a
2727 CBC based ciphersuite is used together with Encrypt-then-MAC. Previously,
2728 such a message was wrongly reported as an invalid record and therefore lead
2729 to the connection being terminated. Seen most often with OpenSSL using
2730 TLS 1.0. Reported by @kFYatek and by Conor Murphy on the forum. Fix
2731 contributed by Espressif Systems. Fixes #1632
2732 * Fix ssl_client2 example to send application data with 0-length content
2733 when the request_size argument is set to 0 as stated in the documentation.
2734 Fixes #1833.
2735 * Correct the documentation for `mbedtls_ssl_get_session()`. This API has
2736 deep copy of the session, and the peer certificate is not lost. Fixes #926.
2737 * Fix build using -std=c99. Fixed by Nick Wilson.
2738
2739Changes
2740 * Fail when receiving a TLS alert message with an invalid length, or invalid

2757 (HKDF) per RFC 5869. Contributed by Thomas Fossati.
2758 * Add support for the CCM* block cipher mode as defined in IEEE Std. 802.15.4.
2759 * Add support for the XTS block cipher mode with AES (AES-XTS).
2760 Contributed by Aorimn in pull request #414.
2761 * In TLS servers, support offloading private key operations to an external
2762 cryptoprocessor. Private key operations can be asynchronous to allow
2763 non-blocking operation of the TLS server stack.
2764
2765Bugfix
2766 * Fix the cert_write example to handle certificates signed with elliptic
2767 curves as well as RSA. Fixes #777 found by dbedev.
2768 * Fix for redefinition of _WIN32_WINNT to avoid overriding a definition
2769 used by user applications. Found and fixed by Fabio Alessandrelli.
2770 * Fix compilation warnings with IAR toolchain, on 32 bit platform.
2771 Reported by rahmanih in #683
2772 * Fix braces in mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_status(). Found by sbranden, #552.
2773
2774Changes
2775 * Changed CMake defaults for IAR to treat all compiler warnings as errors.
2776 * Changed the Clang parameters used in the CMake build files to work for

2784 (RFC 6209). Disabled by default, see MBEDTLS_ARIA_C in config.h
2785
2786API Changes
2787 * Extend the platform module with a util component that contains
2788 functionality shared by multiple Mbed TLS modules. At this stage
2789 platform_util.h (and its associated platform_util.c) only contain
2790 mbedtls_platform_zeroize(), which is a critical function from a security
2791 point of view. mbedtls_platform_zeroize() needs to be regularly tested
2792 against compilers to ensure that calls to it are not removed from the
2793 output binary as part of redundant code elimination optimizations.
2794 Therefore, mbedtls_platform_zeroize() is moved to the platform module to
2795 facilitate testing and maintenance.
2796

2808Security
2809 * Fix an issue in the X.509 module which could lead to a buffer overread
2810 during certificate validation. Additionally, the issue could also lead to
2811 unnecessary callback checks being made or to some validation checks to be
2812 omitted. The overread could be triggered remotely, while the other issues
2813 would require a non DER-compliant certificate to be correctly signed by a
2814 trusted CA, or a trusted CA with a non DER-compliant certificate. Found by
2815 luocm. Fixes #825.
2816 * Fix the buffer length assertion in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
2817 function which led to an arbitrary overread of the message buffer. The
2818 overreads could be caused by receiving a malformed message at the point
2819 where an optional signature algorithms list is expected when the signature
2820 algorithms section is too short. In builds with debug output, the overread
2821 data is output with the debug data.
2822 * Fix a client-side bug in the validation of the server's ciphersuite choice
2823 which could potentially lead to the client accepting a ciphersuite it didn't
2824 offer or a ciphersuite that cannot be used with the TLS or DTLS version
2825 chosen by the server. This could lead to corruption of internal data
2826 structures for some configurations.

2829 * Add an option, MBEDTLS_AES_FEWER_TABLES, to dynamically compute smaller AES
2830 tables during runtime, thereby reducing the RAM/ROM footprint by ~6KiB.
2831 Suggested and contributed by jkivilin in pull request #394.
2832 * Add initial support for Curve448 (RFC 7748). Only mbedtls_ecp_mul() and
2833 ECDH primitive functions (mbedtls_ecdh_gen_public(),
2834 mbedtls_ecdh_compute_shared()) are supported for now. Contributed by
2835 Nicholas Wilson in pull request #348.
2836
2837API Changes
2838 * Extend the public API with the function of mbedtls_net_poll() to allow user
2839 applications to wait for a network context to become ready before reading
2840 or writing.
2841 * Add function mbedtls_ssl_check_pending() to the public API to allow
2842 a check for whether more more data is pending to be processed in the
2843 internal message buffers.
2844 This function is necessary to determine when it is safe to idle on the
2845 underlying transport in case event-driven IO is used.

2858 * Fix the Makefile build process for building shared libraries on Mac OS X.
2859 Fixed by mnacamura.
2860 * Fix parsing of PKCS#8 encoded Elliptic Curve keys. Previously Mbed TLS was
2861 unable to parse keys which had only the optional parameters field of the
2862 ECPrivateKey structure. Found by Jethro Beekman, fixed in #1379.
2863 * Return the plaintext data more quickly on unpadded CBC decryption, as
2864 stated in the mbedtls_cipher_update() documentation. Contributed by
2865 Andy Leiserson.
2866 * Fix overriding and ignoring return values when parsing and writing to
2867 a file in pk_sign program. Found by kevlut in #1142.
2868 * Restrict usage of error code MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_READ to situations
2869 where data needs to be fetched from the underlying transport in order
2870 to make progress. Previously, this error code was also occasionally
2871 returned when unexpected messages were being discarded, ignoring that
2872 further messages could potentially already be pending to be processed
2873 in the internal buffers; these cases led to deadlocks when event-driven
2874 I/O was used. Found and reported by Hubert Mis in #772.
2875 * Fix buffer length assertions in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
2876 function which leads to a potential one byte overread of the message
2877 buffer.
2878 * Fix invalid buffer sizes passed to zlib during record compression and
2879 decompression.
2880 * Fix the soversion of libmbedcrypto to match the soversion of the
2881 maintained 2.7 branch. The soversion was increased in Mbed TLS
2882 version 2.7.1 to reflect breaking changes in that release, but the
2883 increment was missed in 2.8.0 and later releases outside of the 2.7 branch.

2885Changes
2886 * Remove some redundant code in bignum.c. Contributed by Alexey Skalozub.
2887 * Support cmake builds where Mbed TLS is a subproject. Fix contributed
2888 independently by Matthieu Volat and Arne Schwabe.
2889 * Improve testing in configurations that omit certain hashes or
2890 public-key algorithms. Includes contributions by Gert van Dijk.
2891 * Improve negative testing of X.509 parsing.
2892 * Do not define global mutexes around readdir() and gmtime() in
2893 configurations where the feature is disabled. Found and fixed by Gergely
2894 Budai.
2895 * Harden the function mbedtls_ssl_config_free() against misuse, so that it
2896 doesn't leak memory if the user doesn't use mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk() and
2897 instead incorrectly manipulates the configuration structure directly.
2898 Found and fix submitted by junyeonLEE in #1220.
2899 * Provide an empty implementation of mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() when
2900 MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C is not enabled. This allows the use of PBKDF2
2901 without PBES2. Fixed by Marcos Del Sol Vives.
2902 * Add the order of the base point as N in the mbedtls_ecp_group structure
2903 for Curve25519 (other curves had it already). Contributed by Nicholas
2904 Wilson #481
2905 * Improve the documentation of mbedtls_net_accept(). Contributed by Ivan
2906 Krylov.
2907 * Improve the documentation of mbedtls_ssl_write(). Suggested by
2908 Paul Sokolovsky in #1356.
2909 * Add an option in the Makefile to support ar utilities where the operation
2910 letter must not be prefixed by '-', such as LLVM. Found and fixed by
2911 Alex Hixon.
2912 * Allow configuring the shared library extension by setting the DLEXT
2913 environment variable when using the project makefiles.
2914 * Optimize unnecessary zeroing in mbedtls_mpi_copy. Based on a contribution
2915 by Alexey Skalozub in #405.
2916 * In the SSL module, when f_send, f_recv or f_recv_timeout report
2917 transmitting more than the required length, return an error. Raised by
2918 Sam O'Connor in #1245.
2919 * Improve robustness of mbedtls_ssl_derive_keys against the use of
2920 HMAC functions with non-HMAC ciphersuites. Independently contributed
2921 by Jiayuan Chen in #1377. Fixes #1437.
2922 * Improve security of RSA key generation by including criteria from
2923 FIPS 186-4. Contributed by Jethro Beekman. #1380
2924 * Declare functions in header files even when an alternative implementation
2925 of the corresponding module is activated by defining the corresponding
2926 MBEDTLS_XXX_ALT macro. This means that alternative implementations do
2927 not need to copy the declarations, and ensures that they will have the
2928 same API.
2929 * Add platform setup and teardown calls in test suites.

2932
2933Default behavior changes
2934 * The truncated HMAC extension now conforms to RFC 6066. This means
2935 that when both sides of a TLS connection negotiate the truncated
2936 HMAC extension, Mbed TLS can now interoperate with other
2937 compliant implementations, but this breaks interoperability with
2938 prior versions of Mbed TLS. To restore the old behavior, enable
2939 the (deprecated) option MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC_COMPAT in
2940 config.h. Found by Andreas Walz (ivESK, Offenburg University of
2941 Applied Sciences).
2942
2943Security
2944 * Fix implementation of the truncated HMAC extension. The previous
2945 implementation allowed an offline 2^80 brute force attack on the
2946 HMAC key of a single, uninterrupted connection (with no
2947 resumption of the session).
2948 * Verify results of RSA private key operations to defend
2949 against Bellcore glitch attack.
2950 * Fix a buffer overread in ssl_parse_server_key_exchange() that could cause
2951 a crash on invalid input.
2952 * Fix a buffer overread in ssl_parse_server_psk_hint() that could cause a
2953 crash on invalid input.
2954 * Fix CRL parsing to reject CRLs containing unsupported critical
2955 extensions. Found by Falko Strenzke and Evangelos Karatsiolis.
2956
2957Features
2958 * Extend PKCS#8 interface by introducing support for the entire SHA
2959 algorithms family when encrypting private keys using PKCS#5 v2.0.
2960 This allows reading encrypted PEM files produced by software that
2961 uses PBKDF2-SHA2, such as OpenSSL 1.1. Submitted by Antonio Quartulli,
2962 OpenVPN Inc. Fixes #1339
2963 * Add support for public keys encoded in PKCS#1 format. #1122
2964
2965New deprecations
2966 * Deprecate support for record compression (configuration option
2967 MBEDTLS_ZLIB_SUPPORT).
2968
2969Bugfix
2970 * Fix the name of a DHE parameter that was accidentally changed in 2.7.0.
2971 Fixes #1358.
2972 * Fix test_suite_pk to work on 64-bit ILP32 systems. #849
2973 * Fix mbedtls_x509_crt_profile_suiteb, which used to reject all certificates
2974 with flag MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_BAD_PK even when the key type was correct.
2975 In the context of SSL, this resulted in handshake failure. Reported by
2976 daniel in the Mbed TLS forum. #1351
2977 * Fix Windows x64 builds with the included mbedTLS.sln file. #1347
2978 * Fix setting version TLSv1 as minimal version, even if TLS 1
2979 is not enabled. Set MBEDTLS_SSL_MIN_MAJOR_VERSION
2980 and MBEDTLS_SSL_MIN_MINOR_VERSION instead of
2981 MBEDTLS_SSL_MAJOR_VERSION_3 and MBEDTLS_SSL_MINOR_VERSION_1. #664
2982 * Fix compilation error on Mingw32 when _TRUNCATE is defined. Use _TRUNCATE
2983 only if __MINGW32__ not defined. Fix suggested by Thomas Glanzmann and
2984 Nick Wilson on issue #355
2985 * In test_suite_pk, pass valid parameters when testing for hash length
2986 overflow. #1179
2987 * Fix memory allocation corner cases in memory_buffer_alloc.c module. Found
2988 by Guido Vranken. #639
2989 * Log correct number of ciphersuites used in Client Hello message. #918
2990 * Fix X509 CRT parsing that would potentially accept an invalid tag when
2991 parsing the subject alternative names.
2992 * Fix a possible arithmetic overflow in ssl_parse_server_key_exchange()
2993 that could cause a key exchange to fail on valid data.
2994 * Fix a possible arithmetic overflow in ssl_parse_server_psk_hint() that
2995 could cause a key exchange to fail on valid data.
2996 * Don't define mbedtls_aes_decrypt and mbedtls_aes_encrypt under
2997 MBEDTLS_DEPRECATED_REMOVED. #1388
2998 * Fix a 1-byte heap buffer overflow (read-only) during private key parsing.
2999 Found through fuzz testing.

3003 Contributed by Mathieu Briand.
3004 * Fix typo in a comment ctr_drbg.c. Contributed by Paul Sokolovsky.
3005 * Remove support for the library reference configuration for picocoin.
3006 * MD functions deprecated in 2.7.0 are no longer inline, to provide
3007 a migration path for those depending on the library's ABI.
3008 * Clarify the documentation of mbedtls_ssl_setup.
3009 * Use (void) when defining functions with no parameters. Contributed by

3014Security
3015 * Fix a heap corruption issue in the implementation of the truncated HMAC
3016 extension. When the truncated HMAC extension is enabled and CBC is used,
3017 sending a malicious application packet could be used to selectively corrupt
3018 6 bytes on the peer's heap, which could potentially lead to crash or remote
3019 code execution. The issue could be triggered remotely from either side in
3020 both TLS and DTLS. CVE-2018-0488
3021 * Fix a buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the hash was too large
3022 for the key size, which could potentially lead to crash or remote code
3023 execution. Found by Seth Terashima, Qualcomm Product Security Initiative,
3024 Qualcomm Technologies Inc. CVE-2018-0487
3025 * Fix buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the unmasked data is all
3026 zeros.
3027 * Fix an unsafe bounds check in ssl_parse_client_psk_identity() when adding
3028 64 KiB to the address of the SSL buffer and causing a wrap around.
3029 * Fix a potential heap buffer overflow in mbedtls_ssl_write(). When the (by
3030 default enabled) maximum fragment length extension is disabled in the
3031 config and the application data buffer passed to mbedtls_ssl_write
3032 is larger than the internal message buffer (16384 bytes by default), the
3033 latter overflows. The exploitability of this issue depends on whether the
3034 application layer can be forced into sending such large packets. The issue
3035 was independently reported by Tim Nordell via e-mail and by Florin Petriuc
3036 and sjorsdewit on GitHub. Fix proposed by Florin Petriuc in #1022.
3037 Fixes #707.
3038 * Add a provision to prevent compiler optimizations breaking the time
3039 constancy of mbedtls_ssl_safer_memcmp().
3040 * Ensure that buffers are cleared after use if they contain sensitive data.
3041 Changes were introduced in multiple places in the library.
3042 * Set PEM buffer to zero before freeing it, to avoid decoded private keys
3043 being leaked to memory after release.
3044 * Fix dhm_check_range() failing to detect trivial subgroups and potentially
3045 leaking 1 bit of the private key. Reported by prashantkspatil.
3046 * Make mbedtls_mpi_read_binary() constant-time with respect to the input
3047 data. Previously, trailing zero bytes were detected and omitted for the
3048 sake of saving memory, but potentially leading to slight timing
3049 differences. Reported by Marco Macchetti, Kudelski Group.
3050 * Wipe stack buffer temporarily holding EC private exponent
3051 after keypair generation.
3052 * Fix a potential heap buffer over-read in ALPN extension parsing
3053 (server-side). Could result in application crash, but only if an ALPN
3054 name larger than 16 bytes had been configured on the server.
3055 * Change default choice of DHE parameters from untrustworthy RFC 5114
3056 to RFC 3526 containing parameters generated in a nothing-up-my-sleeve
3057 manner.
3058
3059Features
3060 * Allow comments in test data files.
3061 * The selftest program can execute a subset of the tests based on command
3062 line arguments.
3063 * New unit tests for timing. Improve the self-test to be more robust
3064 when run on a heavily-loaded machine.
3065 * Add alternative implementation support for CCM and CMAC (MBEDTLS_CCM_ALT,
3066 MBEDTLS_CMAC_ALT). Submitted by Steven Cooreman, Silicon Labs.
3067 * Add support for alternative implementations of GCM, selected by the
3068 configuration flag MBEDTLS_GCM_ALT.
3069 * Add support for alternative implementations for ECDSA, controlled by new
3070 configuration flags MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT, MBEDTLS_ECDSA_VERIFY_ALT and
3071 MBEDTLS_ECDSDA_GENKEY_AT in config.h.
3072 The following functions from the ECDSA module can be replaced
3073 with alternative implementation:
3074 mbedtls_ecdsa_sign(), mbedtls_ecdsa_verify() and mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey().
3075 * Add support for alternative implementation of ECDH, controlled by the
3076 new configuration flags MBEDTLS_ECDH_COMPUTE_SHARED_ALT and
3077 MBEDTLS_ECDH_GEN_PUBLIC_ALT in config.h.
3078 The following functions from the ECDH module can be replaced
3079 with an alternative implementation:
3080 mbedtls_ecdh_gen_public() and mbedtls_ecdh_compute_shared().
3081 * Add support for alternative implementation of ECJPAKE, controlled by
3082 the new configuration flag MBEDTLS_ECJPAKE_ALT.
3083 * Add mechanism to provide alternative implementation of the DHM module.
3084
3085API Changes
3086 * Extend RSA interface by multiple functions allowing structure-
3087 independent setup and export of RSA contexts. Most notably,
3088 mbedtls_rsa_import() and mbedtls_rsa_complete() are introduced for setting
3089 up RSA contexts from partial key material and having them completed to the
3090 needs of the implementation automatically. This allows to setup private RSA
3091 contexts from keys consisting of N,D,E only, even if P,Q are needed for the
3092 purpose or CRT and/or blinding.
3093 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_RSA_ALT can be used to define alternative
3094 implementations of the RSA interface declared in rsa.h.
3095 * The following functions in the message digest modules (MD2, MD4, MD5,
3096 SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) have been deprecated and replaced as shown below.
3097 The new functions change the return type from void to int to allow
3098 returning error codes when using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT.
3099 mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts_ret()
3100 mbedtls_<MODULE>_update() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_update_ret()
3101 mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish_ret()
3102 mbedtls_<MODULE>_process() -> mbedtls_internal_<MODULE>_process()
3103
3104New deprecations
3105 * Deprecate usage of RSA primitives with non-matching key-type
3106 (e.g. signing with a public key).
3107 * Direct manipulation of structure fields of RSA contexts is deprecated.
3108 Users are advised to use the extended RSA API instead.
3109 * Deprecate usage of message digest functions that return void
3110 (mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts, mbedtls_<MODULE>_update,
3111 mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish and mbedtls_<MODULE>_process where <MODULE> is
3112 any of MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) in favor of functions
3113 that can return an error code.
3114 * Deprecate untrustworthy DHE parameters from RFC 5114. Superseded by
3115 parameters from RFC 3526 or the newly added parameters from RFC 7919.
3116 * Deprecate hex string DHE constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P etc.
3117 Supserseded by binary encoded constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P_BIN
3118 etc.
3119 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param() for setting default DHE parameters
3120 from hex strings. Superseded by mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param_bin()
3121 accepting DHM parameters in binary form, matching the new constants.
3122
3123Bugfix
3124 * Fix ssl_parse_record_header() to silently discard invalid DTLS records
3125 as recommended in RFC 6347 Section 4.1.2.7.
3126 * Fix memory leak in mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname() when called multiple times.
3127 Found by projectgus and Jethro Beekman, #836.
3128 * Fix usage help in ssl_server2 example. Found and fixed by Bei Lin.
Jens Wiklander817466c2018-05-22 13:49:31 +02003129 * Parse signature algorithm extension when renegotiating. Previously,
3130 renegotiated handshakes would only accept signatures using SHA-1
3131 regardless of the peer's preferences, or fail if SHA-1 was disabled.
Jens Wiklander3d3b0592019-03-20 15:30:29 +01003132 * Fix leap year calculation in x509_date_is_valid() to ensure that invalid
3133 dates on leap years with 100 and 400 intervals are handled correctly. Found
3134 by Nicholas Wilson. #694
3135 * Fix some invalid RSA-PSS signatures with keys of size 8N+1 that were
3136 accepted. Generating these signatures required the private key.
3137 * Fix out-of-memory problem when parsing 4096-bit PKCS8-encrypted RSA keys.
3138 Found independently by Florian in the mbed TLS forum and by Mishamax.
3139 #878, #1019.
3140 * Fix variable used before assignment compilation warnings with IAR
3141 toolchain. Found by gkerrien38.
3142 * Fix unchecked return codes from AES, DES and 3DES functions in
3143 pem_aes_decrypt(), pem_des_decrypt() and pem_des3_decrypt() respectively.
3144 If a call to one of the functions of the cryptographic primitive modules
3145 failed, the error may not be noticed by the function
3146 mbedtls_pem_read_buffer() causing it to return invalid values. Found by
3147 Guido Vranken. #756
3148 * Include configuration file in md.h, to fix compilation warnings.
3149 Reported by aaronmdjones in #1001
3150 * Correct extraction of signature-type from PK instance in X.509 CRT and CSR
3151 writing routines that prevented these functions to work with alternative
3152 RSA implementations. Raised by J.B. in the Mbed TLS forum. Fixes #1011.
3153 * Don't print X.509 version tag for v1 CRT's, and omit extensions for
3154 non-v3 CRT's.
3155 * Fix bugs in RSA test suite under MBEDTLS_NO_PLATFORM_ENTROPY. #1023 #1024
3156 * Fix net_would_block() to avoid modification by errno through fcntl() call.
3157 Found by nkolban. Fixes #845.
3158 * Fix handling of handshake messages in mbedtls_ssl_read() in case
3159 MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION is disabled. Found by erja-gp.
3160 * Add a check for invalid private parameters in mbedtls_ecdsa_sign().
3161 Reported by Yolan Romailler.
3162 * Fix word size check in in pk.c to not depend on MBEDTLS_HAVE_INT64.
3163 * Fix incorrect unit in benchmark output. #850
3164 * Add size-checks for record and handshake message content, securing
3165 fragile yet non-exploitable code-paths.
3166 * Fix crash when calling mbedtls_ssl_cache_free() twice. Found by
3167 MilenkoMitrovic, #1104
3168 * Fix mbedtls_timing_alarm(0) on Unix and MinGW.
3169 * Fix use of uninitialized memory in mbedtls_timing_get_timer() when reset=1.
3170 * Fix possible memory leaks in mbedtls_gcm_self_test().
3171 * Added missing return code checks in mbedtls_aes_self_test().
3172 * Fix issues in RSA key generation program programs/x509/rsa_genkey and the
3173 RSA test suite where the failure of CTR DRBG initialization lead to
3174 freeing an RSA context and several MPI's without proper initialization
3175 beforehand.
3176 * Fix error message in programs/pkey/gen_key.c. Found and fixed by Chris Xue.
3177 * Fix programs/pkey/dh_server.c so that it actually works with dh_client.c.
3178 Found and fixed by Martijn de Milliano.
3179 * Fix an issue in the cipher decryption with the mode
3180 MBEDTLS_PADDING_ONE_AND_ZEROS that sometimes accepted invalid padding.
3181 Note, this padding mode is not used by the TLS protocol. Found and fixed by
3182 Micha Kraus.
3183 * Fix the entropy.c module to not call mbedtls_sha256_starts() or
3184 mbedtls_sha512_starts() in the mbedtls_entropy_init() function.
3185 * Fix the entropy.c module to ensure that mbedtls_sha256_init() or
3186 mbedtls_sha512_init() is called before operating on the relevant context
3187 structure. Do not assume that zeroizing a context is a correct way to
3188 reset it. Found independently by ccli8 on Github.
3189 * In mbedtls_entropy_free(), properly free the message digest context.
3190 * Fix status handshake status message in programs/ssl/dtls_client.c. Found
3191 and fixed by muddog.
3192
3193Changes
3194 * Extend cert_write example program by options to set the certificate version
3195 and the message digest. Further, allow enabling/disabling of authority
3196 identifier, subject identifier and basic constraints extensions.
3197 * Only check for necessary RSA structure fields in `mbedtls_rsa_private`. In
3198 particular, don't require P,Q if neither CRT nor blinding are
3199 used. Reported and fix proposed independently by satur9nine and sliai
3200 on GitHub.
3201 * Only run AES-192 self-test if AES-192 is available. Fixes #963.
3202 * Tighten the RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification code and remove the
3203 undeclared dependency of the RSA module on the ASN.1 module.
3204 * Update all internal usage of deprecated message digest functions to the
3205 new ones with return codes. In particular, this modifies the
3206 mbedtls_md_info_t structure. Propagate errors from these functions
3207 everywhere except some locations in the ssl_tls.c module.
3208 * Improve CTR_DRBG error handling by propagating underlying AES errors.
3209 * Add MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED error codes for all cryptography
3210 modules where the software implementation can be replaced by a hardware
3211 implementation.
3212 * Add explicit warnings for the use of MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA-1, DES and ARC4
3213 throughout the library.

3217Security
3218 * Fix authentication bypass in SSL/TLS: when authmode is set to optional,
3219 mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result() would incorrectly return 0 when the peer's
3220 X.509 certificate chain had more than MBEDTLS_X509_MAX_INTERMEDIATE_CA
3221 (default: 8) intermediates, even when it was not trusted. This could be
3222 triggered remotely from either side. (With authmode set to 'required'
3223 (the default), the handshake was correctly aborted).
3224 * Reliably wipe sensitive data after use in the AES example applications
3225 programs/aes/aescrypt2 and programs/aes/crypt_and_hash.
3226 Found by Laurent Simon.
3227
3228Features
3229 * Add the functions mbedtls_platform_setup() and mbedtls_platform_teardown()
3230 and the context struct mbedtls_platform_context to perform
3231 platform-specific setup and teardown operations. The macro
3232 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETUP_TEARDOWN_ALT allows the functions to be overridden
3233 by the user in a platform_alt.h file. These new functions are required in
3234 some embedded environments to provide a means of initialising underlying
3235 cryptographic acceleration hardware.
3236
3237API Changes
3238 * Reverted API/ABI breaking changes introduced in mbed TLS 2.5.1, to make the
3239 API consistent with mbed TLS 2.5.0. Specifically removed the inline
3240 qualifier from the functions mbedtls_aes_decrypt, mbedtls_aes_encrypt,
3241 mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_uses_ec and mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_uses_psk. Found
3242 by James Cowgill. #978
3243 * Certificate verification functions now set flags to -1 in case the full
3244 chain was not verified due to an internal error (including in the verify
3245 callback) or chain length limitations.
3246 * With authmode set to optional, the TLS handshake is now aborted if the
3247 verification of the peer's certificate failed due to an overlong chain or
3248 a fatal error in the verify callback.
3249
3250Bugfix
3251 * Add a check if iv_len is zero in GCM, and return an error if it is zero.
3252 Reported by roberto. #716
3253 * Replace preprocessor condition from #if defined(MBEDTLS_THREADING_PTHREAD)
3254 to #if defined(MBEDTLS_THREADING_C) as the library cannot assume they will
3255 always be implemented by pthread support. #696
3256 * Fix a resource leak on Windows platforms in mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path(),
3257 in the case of an error. Found by redplait. #590
3258 * Add MBEDTLS_MPI_CHK to check for error value of mbedtls_mpi_fill_random.
3259 Reported and fix suggested by guidovranken. #740
3260 * Fix conditional preprocessor directives in bignum.h to enable 64-bit
3261 compilation when using ARM Compiler 6.
3262 * Fix a potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
3263 encoded X.509 CRLs. The overflow could enable maliciously constructed CRLs
3264 to bypass the version verification check. Found by Peng Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin,
3265 KNOX Security, Samsung Research America
3266 * Fix potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
3267 encoded X.509 CSRs. The overflow could enable maliciously constructed CSRs

3275 * Avoid shadowing of time and index functions through mbed TLS function
3276 arguments. Found by inestlerode. #557.
3277
3278Changes
3279 * Added config.h option MBEDTLS_NO_UDBL_DIVISION, to prevent the use of
3280 64-bit division. This is useful on embedded platforms where 64-bit division
3281 created a dependency on external libraries. #708
3282 * Removed mutexes from ECP hardware accelerator code. Now all hardware
3283 accelerator code in the library leaves concurrency handling to the
3284 platform. Reported by Steven Cooreman. #863
3285 * Define the macro MBEDTLS_AES_ROM_TABLES in the configuration file
3286 config-no-entropy.h to reduce the RAM footprint.
3287 * Added a test script that can be hooked into git that verifies commits
3288 before they are pushed.
3289 * Improve documentation of PKCS1 decryption functions.

3293Security
3294 * Fixed unlimited overread of heap-based buffer in mbedtls_ssl_read().
3295 The issue could only happen client-side with renegotiation enabled.
3296 Could result in DoS (application crash) or information leak
3297 (if the application layer sent data read from mbedtls_ssl_read()
3298 back to the server or to a third party). Can be triggered remotely.
3299 * Removed SHA-1 and RIPEMD-160 from the default hash algorithms for
3300 certificate verification. SHA-1 can be turned back on with a compile-time
3301 option if needed.
3302 * Fixed offset in FALLBACK_SCSV parsing that caused TLS server to fail to
3303 detect it sometimes. Reported by Hugo Leisink. #810
3304 * Tighten parsing of RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures, to avoid a
3305 potential Bleichenbacher/BERserk-style attack.
3306
3307Bugfix
3308 * Remove size zero arrays from ECJPAKE test suite. Size zero arrays are not
3309 valid C and they prevented the test from compiling in Visual Studio 2015
3310 and with GCC using the -Wpedantic compilation option.
3311 * Fix insufficient support for signature-hash-algorithm extension,
3312 resulting in compatibility problems with Chrome. Found by hfloyrd. #823
3313 * Fix behaviour that hid the original cause of fatal alerts in some cases
3314 when sending the alert failed. The fix makes sure not to hide the error
3315 that triggered the alert.
3316 * Fix SSLv3 renegotiation behaviour and stop processing data received from
3317 peer after sending a fatal alert to refuse a renegotiation attempt.
3318 Previous behaviour was to keep processing data even after the alert has
3319 been sent.
3320 * Accept empty trusted CA chain in authentication mode

3323 fatal errors in authentication mode MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL and to
3324 reflect bad EC curves within verification result.
3325 * Fix bug that caused the modular inversion function to accept the invalid
3326 modulus 1 and therefore to hang. Found by blaufish. #641.
3327 * Fix incorrect sign computation in modular exponentiation when the base is
3328 a negative MPI. Previously the result was always negative. Found by Guido
3329 Vranken.
3330 * Fix a numerical underflow leading to stack overflow in mpi_read_file()
3331 that was triggered uppon reading an empty line. Found by Guido Vranken.
3332
3333Changes
3334 * Send fatal alerts in more cases. The previous behaviour was to skip
3335 sending the fatal alert and just drop the connection.
3336 * Clarify ECDSA documentation and improve the sample code to avoid
3337 misunderstanding and potentially dangerous use of the API. Pointed out

3352Features
3353 * Add hardware acceleration support for the Elliptic Curve Point module.
3354 This involved exposing parts of the internal interface to enable
3355 replacing the core functions and adding and alternative, module level
3356 replacement support for enabling the extension of the interface.
3357 * Add a new configuration option to 'mbedtls_ssl_config' to enable
3358 suppressing the CA list in Certificate Request messages. The default
3359 behaviour has not changed, namely every configured CAs name is included.
3360
3361API Changes
3362 * The following functions in the AES module have been deprecated and replaced
3363 by the functions shown below. The new functions change the return type from
3364 void to int to allow returning error codes when using MBEDTLS_AES_ALT,
3365 MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT_ALT or MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT_ALT.

3370 * Remove macros from compat-1.3.h that correspond to deleted items from most
3371 recent versions of the library. Found by Kyle Keen.
3372 * Fixed issue in the Threading module that prevented mutexes from
3373 initialising. Found by sznaider. #667 #843
3374 * Add checks in the PK module for the RSA functions on 64-bit systems.
3375 The PK and RSA modules use different types for passing hash length and
3376 without these checks the type cast could lead to data loss. Found by Guido
3377 Vranken.

3381Security
3382 * Add checks to prevent signature forgeries for very large messages while
3383 using RSA through the PK module in 64-bit systems. The issue was caused by
3384 some data loss when casting a size_t to an unsigned int value in the
3385 functions rsa_verify_wrap(), rsa_sign_wrap(), rsa_alt_sign_wrap() and
3386 mbedtls_pk_sign(). Found by Jean-Philippe Aumasson.
3387 * Fixed potential livelock during the parsing of a CRL in PEM format in
3388 mbedtls_x509_crl_parse(). A string containing a CRL followed by trailing
3389 characters after the footer could result in the execution of an infinite
3390 loop. The issue can be triggered remotely. Found by Greg Zaverucha,
3391 Microsoft.
3392 * Removed MD5 from the allowed hash algorithms for CertificateRequest and
3393 CertificateVerify messages, to prevent SLOTH attacks against TLS 1.2.
3394 Introduced by interoperability fix for #513.
3395 * Fixed a bug that caused freeing a buffer that was allocated on the stack,
3396 when verifying the validity of a key on secp224k1. This could be
3397 triggered remotely for example with a maliciously constructed certificate
3398 and potentially could lead to remote code execution on some platforms.

3401
3402Bugfix
3403 * Fix output certificate verification flags set by x509_crt_verify_top() when
3404 traversing a chain of trusted CA. The issue would cause both flags,
3405 MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_NOT_TRUSTED and MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_EXPIRED, to be
3406 set when the verification conditions are not met regardless of the cause.
3407 Found by Harm Verhagen and inestlerode. #665 #561

3409 mbedtls_ssl_set_bio_timeout in compat-1.3.h, by removing it.
3410 Found by omlib-lin. #673
3411 * Fix unused variable/function compilation warnings in pem.c, x509_crt.c and
3412 x509_csr.c that are reported when building mbed TLS with a config.h that
3413 does not define MBEDTLS_PEM_PARSE_C. Found by omnium21. #562
3414 * Fix incorrect renegotiation condition in ssl_check_ctr_renegotiate() that
3415 would compare 64 bits of the record counter instead of 48 bits as indicated
3416 in RFC 6347 Section 4.3.1. This could cause the execution of the
3417 renegotiation routines at unexpected times when the protocol is DTLS. Found
3418 by wariua. #687

3471 is functioning correctly.
3472 * Added a script to print build environment info for diagnostic use in test
3473 scripts, which is also now called by all.sh.
3474 * Added the macro MBEDTLS_X509_MAX_FILE_PATH_LEN that enables the user to
3475 configure the maximum length of a file path that can be buffered when
3476 calling mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path().
3477 * Added a configuration file config-no-entropy.h that configures the subset of
3478 library features that do not require an entropy source.
3479 * Added the macro MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_MIN_HARDWARE in config.h. This allows users
3480 to configure the minimum number of bytes for entropy sources using the

3519 * Extended test coverage of special cases, and added new timing test suite.
3520 * Removed self-tests from the basic-built-test.sh script, and added all
3521 missing self-tests to the test suites, to ensure self-tests are only
3522 executed once.
3523 * Added support for 3 and 4 byte lengths to mbedtls_asn1_write_len().
3524 * Added support for a Yotta specific configuration file -
3525 through the symbol YOTTA_CFG_MBEDTLS_TARGET_CONFIG_FILE.
3526 * Added optimization for code space for X.509/OID based on configured
3527 features. Contributed by Aviv Palivoda.
3528 * Renamed source file library/net.c to library/net_sockets.c to avoid
3529 naming collision in projects which also have files with the common name
3530 net.c. For consistency, the corresponding header file, net.h, is marked as
3531 deprecated, and its contents moved to net_sockets.h.

3660 * Added fix for CVE-2015-5291 to prevent heap corruption due to buffer
3661 overflow of the hostname or session ticket. Found by Guido Vranken,
3662 Intelworks.
3663 * Fix potential double-free if mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk() is called more than
3664 once in the same handhake and mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk() was used.
3665 Found and patch provided by Guido Vranken, Intelworks. Cannot be forced
3666 remotely.
3667 * Fix stack buffer overflow in pkcs12 decryption (used by
3668 mbedtls_pk_parse_key(file)() when the password is > 129 bytes.
3669 Found by Guido Vranken, Intelworks. Not triggerable remotely.
3670 * Fix potential buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_read_string().
3671 Found by Guido Vranken, Intelworks. Not exploitable remotely in the context
3672 of TLS, but might be in other uses. On 32 bit machines, requires reading a
3673 string of close to or larger than 1GB to exploit; on 64 bit machines, would
3674 require reading a string of close to or larger than 2^62 bytes.
3675 * Fix potential random memory allocation in mbedtls_pem_read_buffer()
3676 on crafted PEM input data. Found and fix provided by Guido Vranken,
3677 Intelworks. Not triggerable remotely in TLS. Triggerable remotely if you
3678 accept PEM data from an untrusted source.
3679 * Fix possible heap buffer overflow in base64_encoded() when the input
3680 buffer is 512MB or larger on 32-bit platforms. Found by Guido Vranken,
3681 Intelworks. Not trigerrable remotely in TLS.
3682 * Fix potential double-free if mbedtls_conf_psk() is called repeatedly on
3683 the same mbedtls_ssl_config object and memory allocation fails. Found by
3684 Guido Vranken, Intelworks. Cannot be forced remotely.
3685 * Fix potential heap buffer overflow in servers that perform client
3686 authentication against a crafted CA cert. Cannot be triggered remotely
3687 unless you allow third parties to pick trust CAs for client auth.
3688 Found by Guido Vranken, Intelworks.

3716
3717Changes
3718 * Made X509 profile pointer const in mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_profile() to allow
3719 use of mbedtls_x509_crt_profile_next. (found by NWilson)
3720 * When a client initiates a reconnect from the same port as a live
3721 connection, if cookie verification is available
3722 (MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_HELLO_VERIFY defined in config.h, and usable cookie
3723 callbacks set with mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_cookies()), this will be
3724 detected and mbedtls_ssl_read() will return
3725 MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CLIENT_RECONNECT - it is then possible to start a new
3726 handshake with the same context. (See RFC 6347 section 4.2.8.)

3770 compiler's command line.
3771 * When verifying a certificate chain, if an intermediate certificate is
3772 trusted, no later cert is checked. (suggested by hannes-landeholm)
3773 (#220).
3774 * Prepend a "thread identifier" to debug messages (issue pointed out by

3780
3781Features
3782 * Support for DTLS 1.0 and 1.2 (RFC 6347).
3783 * Ability to override core functions from MDx, SHAx, AES and DES modules
3784 with custom implementation (eg hardware accelerated), complementing the
3785 ability to override the whole module.
3786 * New server-side implementation of session tickets that rotate keys to
3787 preserve forward secrecy, and allows sharing across multiple contexts.
3788 * Added a concept of X.509 cerificate verification profile that controls
3789 which algorithms and key sizes (curves for ECDSA) are acceptable.
3790 * Expanded configurability of security parameters in the SSL module with
3791 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dhm_min_bitlen() and mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_hashes().
3792 * Introduced a concept of presets for SSL security-relevant configuration
3793 parameters.
3794
3795API Changes
3796 * The library has been split into libmbedcrypto, libmbedx509, libmbedtls.
3797 You now need to link to all of them if you use TLS for example.
3798 * All public identifiers moved to the mbedtls_* or MBEDTLS_* namespace.
3799 Some names have been further changed to make them more consistent.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02003800 Migration helpers scripts/rename.pl and include/mbedtls/compat-1.3.h are
Jens Wiklander817466c2018-05-22 13:49:31 +02003801 provided. Full list of renamings in scripts/data_files/rename-1.3-2.0.txt
3802 * Renamings of fields inside structures, not covered by the previous list:
3803 mbedtls_cipher_info_t.key_length -> key_bitlen
3804 mbedtls_cipher_context_t.key_length -> key_bitlen
3805 mbedtls_ecp_curve_info.size -> bit_size
3806 * Headers are now found in the 'mbedtls' directory (previously 'polarssl').
3807 * The following _init() functions that could return errors have
3808 been split into an _init() that returns void and another function that
3809 should generally be the first function called on this context after init:
3810 mbedtls_ssl_init() -> mbedtls_ssl_setup()
3811 mbedtls_ccm_init() -> mbedtls_ccm_setkey()
3812 mbedtls_gcm_init() -> mbedtls_gcm_setkey()
3813 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_init() -> mbedtls_hmac_drbg_seed(_buf)()
3814 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_init() -> mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed()
3815 Note that for mbedtls_ssl_setup(), you need to be done setting up the
3816 ssl_config structure before calling it.
3817 * Most ssl_set_xxx() functions (all except ssl_set_bio(), ssl_set_hostname(),
3818 ssl_set_session() and ssl_set_client_transport_id(), plus
3819 ssl_legacy_renegotiation()) have been renamed to mbedtls_ssl_conf_xxx()
3820 (see rename.pl and compat-1.3.h above) and their first argument's type
3821 changed from ssl_context to ssl_config.
3822 * ssl_set_bio() changed signature (contexts merged, order switched, one
3823 additional callback for read-with-timeout).
3824 * The following functions have been introduced and must be used in callback
3825 implementations (SNI, PSK) instead of their *conf counterparts:
3826 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_own_cert()
3827 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_ca_chain()
3828 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk()
3829 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_ca_chain() lost its last argument (peer_cn), now set
3830 using mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname().
3831 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_cache() changed prototype (only one context
3832 pointer, parameters reordered).
3833 * On server, mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets_cb() must now be used in
3834 place of mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets() to enable session tickets.
3835 * The SSL debug callback gained two new arguments (file name, line number).
3836 * Debug modes were removed.
3837 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_truncated_hmac() now returns void.
3838 * mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_init() now returns void.
3839 * X.509 verification flags are now an uint32_t. Affect the signature of:
3840 mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result()
3841 mbedtls_x509_ctr_verify_info()
3842 mbedtls_x509_crt_verify() (flags, f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
3843 mbedtls_ssl_conf_verify() (f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
3844 * The following functions changed prototype to avoid an in-out length
3845 parameter:
3846 mbedtls_base64_encode()
3847 mbedtls_base64_decode()
3848 mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
3849 mbedtls_dhm_calc_secret()
3850 * In the NET module, all "int" and "int *" arguments for file descriptors
3851 changed type to "mbedtls_net_context *".
3852 * net_accept() gained new arguments for the size of the client_ip buffer.
3853 * In the threading layer, mbedtls_mutex_init() and mbedtls_mutex_free() now
3854 return void.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02003855 * ecdsa_write_signature() gained an additional md_alg argument and
Jens Wiklander817466c2018-05-22 13:49:31 +02003856 ecdsa_write_signature_det() was deprecated.
3857 * pk_sign() no longer accepts md_alg == POLARSSL_MD_NONE with ECDSA.
3858 * Last argument of x509_crt_check_key_usage() and
3859 mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_key_usage() changed from int to unsigned.
3860 * test_ca_list (from certs.h) is renamed to test_cas_pem and is only
3861 available if POLARSSL_PEM_PARSE_C is defined (it never worked without).
3862 * Test certificates in certs.c are no longer guaranteed to be nul-terminated
3863 strings; use the new *_len variables instead of strlen().
3864 * Functions mbedtls_x509_xxx_parse(), mbedtls_pk_parse_key(),
3865 mbedtls_pk_parse_public_key() and mbedtls_dhm_parse_dhm() now expect the
3866 length parameter to include the terminating null byte for PEM input.
3867 * Signature of mpi_mul_mpi() changed to make the last argument unsigned
3868 * calloc() is now used instead of malloc() everywhere. API of platform
3869 layer and the memory_buffer_alloc module changed accordingly.
3870 (Thanks to Mansour Moufid for helping with the replacement.)
3871 * Change SSL_DISABLE_RENEGOTIATION config.h flag to SSL_RENEGOTIATION
3872 (support for renegotiation now needs explicit enabling in config.h).
3873 * Split MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME into MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME and MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE
3874 in config.h
3875 * net_connect() and net_bind() have a new 'proto' argument to choose
3876 between TCP and UDP, using the macros NET_PROTO_TCP or NET_PROTO_UDP.
3877 Their 'port' argument type is changed to a string.
3878 * Some constness fixes
3879
3880Removals
3881 * Removed mbedtls_ecp_group_read_string(). Only named groups are supported.
3882 * Removed mbedtls_ecp_sub() and mbedtls_ecp_add(), use
3883 mbedtls_ecp_muladd().
3884 * Removed individual mdX_hmac, shaX_hmac, mdX_file and shaX_file functions
3885 (use generic functions from md.h)
3886 * Removed mbedtls_timing_msleep(). Use mbedtls_net_usleep() or a custom
3887 waiting function.
3888 * Removed test DHM parameters from the test certs module.
3889 * Removed the PBKDF2 module (use PKCS5).
3890 * Removed POLARSSL_ERROR_STRERROR_BC (use mbedtls_strerror()).
3891 * Removed compat-1.2.h (helper for migrating from 1.2 to 1.3).
3892 * Removed openssl.h (very partial OpenSSL compatibility layer).
3893 * Configuration options POLARSSL_HAVE_LONGLONG was removed (now always on).
3894 * Configuration options POLARSSL_HAVE_INT8 and POLARSSL_HAVE_INT16 have
3895 been removed (compiler is required to support 32-bit operations).
3896 * Configuration option POLARSSL_HAVE_IPV6 was removed (always enabled).
3897 * Removed test program o_p_test, the script compat.sh does more.
3898 * Removed test program ssl_test, superseded by ssl-opt.sh.
3899 * Removed helper script active-config.pl
3900
3901New deprecations
3902 * md_init_ctx() is deprecated in favour of md_setup(), that adds a third
3903 argument (allowing memory savings if HMAC is not used)
3904
3905Semi-API changes (technically public, morally private)
3906 * Renamed a few headers to include _internal in the name. Those headers are
3907 not supposed to be included by users.
3908 * Changed md_info_t into an opaque structure (use md_get_xxx() accessors).
3909 * Changed pk_info_t into an opaque structure.
3910 * Changed cipher_base_t into an opaque structure.
3911 * Removed sig_oid2 and rename sig_oid1 to sig_oid in x509_crt and x509_crl.
3912 * x509_crt.key_usage changed from unsigned char to unsigned int.
3913 * Removed r and s from ecdsa_context
3914 * Removed mode from des_context and des3_context
3915
3916Default behavior changes
3917 * The default minimum TLS version is now TLS 1.0.
3918 * RC4 is now blacklisted by default in the SSL/TLS layer, and excluded from the
3919 default ciphersuite list returned by ssl_list_ciphersuites()
3920 * Support for receiving SSLv2 ClientHello is now disabled by default at
3921 compile time.
3922 * The default authmode for SSL/TLS clients is now REQUIRED.
3923 * Support for RSA_ALT contexts in the PK layer is now optional. Since is is
3924 enabled in the default configuration, this is only noticeable if using a
3925 custom config.h
3926 * Default DHM parameters server-side upgraded from 1024 to 2048 bits.
3927 * A minimum RSA key size of 2048 bits is now enforced during ceritificate
3928 chain verification.
3929 * Negotiation of truncated HMAC is now disabled by default on server too.
3930 * The following functions are now case-sensitive:
3931 mbedtls_cipher_info_from_string()
3932 mbedtls_ecp_curve_info_from_name()
3933 mbedtls_md_info_from_string()
3934 mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_from_string()
3935 mbedtls_version_check_feature()
3936
3937Requirement changes
3938 * The minimum MSVC version required is now 2010 (better C99 support).
3939 * The NET layer now unconditionnaly relies on getaddrinfo() and select().
3940 * Compiler is required to support C99 types such as long long and uint32_t.
3941
3942API changes from the 1.4 preview branch
3943 * ssl_set_bio_timeout() was removed, split into mbedtls_ssl_set_bio() with
3944 new prototype, and mbedtls_ssl_set_read_timeout().
3945 * The following functions now return void:
3946 mbedtls_ssl_conf_transport()
3947 mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version()
3948 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version()
3949 * DTLS no longer hard-depends on TIMING_C, but uses a callback interface
3950 instead, see mbedtls_ssl_set_timer_cb(), with the Timing module providing
3951 an example implementation, see mbedtls_timing_delay_context and
3952 mbedtls_timing_set/get_delay().
3953 * With UDP sockets, it is no longer necessary to call net_bind() again
3954 after a successful net_accept().
3955
3956Changes
3957 * mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random() and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_random() are now
3958 thread-safe if MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled.
3959 * Reduced ROM fooprint of SHA-256 and added an option to reduce it even
3960 more (at the expense of performance) MBEDTLS_SHA256_SMALLER.
3961
3962= mbed TLS 1.3 branch
3963
3964Security
3965 * With authmode set to SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL, verification of keyUsage and
3966 extendedKeyUsage on the leaf certificate was lost (results not accessible
3967 via ssl_get_verify_results()).
3968 * Add countermeasure against "Lucky 13 strikes back" cache-based attack,
3969 https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2714625
3970
3971Features

3982 layer (helps get rid of unwanted references).
3983 * Improved Makefiles for Windows targets by fixing library targets and making
3984 cross-compilation easier (thanks to Alon Bar-Lev).
3985 * The benchmark program also prints heap usage for public-key primitives
3986 if POLARSSL_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C and POLARSSL_MEMORY_DEBUG are defined.
3987 * New script ecc-heap.sh helps measuring the impact of ECC parameters on
3988 speed and RAM (heap only for now) usage.
3989 * New script memory.sh helps measuring the ROM and RAM requirements of two
3990 reduced configurations (PSK-CCM and NSA suite B).
3991 * Add config flag POLARSSL_DEPRECATED_WARNING (off by default) to produce
3992 warnings on use of deprecated functions (with GCC and Clang only).
3993 * Add config flag POLARSSL_DEPRECATED_REMOVED (off by default) to produce
3994 errors on use of deprecated functions.

4002 once on the same context.
4003 * Fix bug in ssl_mail_client when password is longer that username (found
4004 by Bruno Pape).
4005 * Fix undefined behaviour (memcmp( NULL, NULL, 0 );) in X.509 modules
4006 (detected by Clang's 3.6 UBSan).
4007 * mpi_size() and mpi_msb() would segfault when called on an mpi that is
4008 initialized but not set (found by pravic).
4009 * Fix detection of support for getrandom() on Linux (reported by syzzer) by
4010 doing it at runtime (using uname) rather that compile time.
4011 * Fix handling of symlinks by "make install" (found by Gaël PORTAY).
4012 * Fix potential NULL pointer dereference (not trigerrable remotely) when
4013 ssl_write() is called before the handshake is finished (introduced in
4014 1.3.10) (first reported by Martin Blumenstingl).
4015 * Fix bug in pk_parse_key() that caused some valid private EC keys to be
4016 rejected.
4017 * Fix bug in Via Padlock support (found by Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos).
4018 * Fix thread safety bug in RSA operations (found by Fredrik Axelsson).

4021 * Fix warnings from mingw64 in timing.c (found by kxjklele).
4022 * Fix potential unintended sign extension in asn1_get_len() on 64-bit
4023 platforms.
4024 * Fix potential memory leak in ssl_set_psk() (found by Mansour Moufid).
4025 * Fix compile error when POLARSSL_SSL_DISABLE_RENEGOTATION and
4026 POLARSSL_SSL_SSESSION_TICKETS where both enabled in config.h (introduced
4027 in 1.3.10).
4028 * Add missing extern "C" guard in aesni.h (reported by amir zamani).
4029 * Add missing dependency on SHA-256 in some x509 programs (reported by
4030 Gergely Budai).
4031 * Fix bug related to ssl_set_curves(): the client didn't check that the
4032 curve picked by the server was actually allowed.
4033
4034Changes
4035 * Remove bias in mpi_gen_prime (contributed by Pascal Junod).
4036 * Remove potential sources of timing variations (some contributed by Pascal

4043 (contributed by Alon Bar-Lev).
4044 * ssl_set_own_cert() no longer calls pk_check_pair() since the
4045 performance impact was bad for some users (this was introduced in 1.3.10).
4046 * Move from SHA-1 to SHA-256 in example programs using signatures
4047 (suggested by Thorsten Mühlfelder).

5067 * Moved all examples programs to use the new entropy and CTR_DRBG
5068 * Added permissive certificate parsing to x509parse_crt() and
5069 x509parse_crtfile(). With permissive parsing the parsing does not stop on
5070 encountering a parse-error. Beware that the meaning of return values has
5071 changed!
5072 * All error codes are now negative. Even on mermory failures and IO errors.
5073

5119 better unsigned / signed use. Renamed internal bigint types
5120 t_int and t_dbl to t_uint and t_udbl in the process
5121 * mpi_init() and mpi_free() now only accept a single MPI
5122 argument and do not accept variable argument lists anymore.
5123 * The error codes have been remapped and combining error codes
5124 is now done with a PLUS instead of an OR as error codes
5125 used are negative.
5126 * Changed behaviour of net_read(), ssl_fetch_input() and ssl_recv().
5127 net_recv() now returns 0 on EOF instead of
5128 POLARSSL_ERR_NET_CONN_RESET. ssl_fetch_input() returns
5129 POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_CONN_EOF on an EOF from its f_recv() function.
5130 ssl_read() returns 0 if a POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_CONN_EOF is received
5131 after the handshake.
5132 * Network functions now return POLARSSL_ERR_NET_WANT_READ or
5133 POLARSSL_ERR_NET_WANT_WRITE instead of the ambiguous
5134 POLARSSL_ERR_NET_TRY_AGAIN

5144
5145Changes
5146 * Debug print of MPI now removes leading zero octets and
5147 displays actual bit size of the value.
5148 * x509parse_key() (and as a consequence x509parse_keyfile())
5149 does not zeroize memory in advance anymore. Use rsa_init()
5150 before parsing a key or keyfile!
5151
5152Bugfix
5153 * Debug output of MPI's now the same independent of underlying
5154 platform (32-bit / 64-bit) (Fixes ticket #19, found by Mads
