5Security
6 * Fix a buffer underrun in mbedtls_pk_write_key_der() when
7 called on an opaque key, MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled,
8 and the output buffer is smaller than the actual output.
9 Fix a related buffer underrun in mbedtls_pk_write_key_pem()
10 when called on an opaque RSA key, MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled
11 and MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE is smaller than needed for a 4096-bit RSA key.
12 CVE-2024-49195
13
14= Mbed TLS 3.6.1 branch released 2024-08-30
15
16API changes
17 * The experimental functions psa_generate_key_ext() and
18 psa_key_derivation_output_key_ext() are no longer declared when compiling
19 in C++. This resolves a build failure under C++ compilers that do not
20 support flexible array members (a C99 feature not adopted by C++).
21 Fixes #9020.
22
23Default behavior changes
24 * In a PSA-client-only build (i.e. MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CLIENT &&
25 !MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C), do not automatically enable local crypto when the
26 corresponding PSA mechanism is enabled, since the server provides the
27 crypto. Fixes #9126.
28 * A TLS handshake may now call psa_crypto_init() if TLS 1.3 is enabled.
29 This can happen even if TLS 1.3 is offered but eventually not selected
30 in the protocol version negotiation.
31 * By default, the handling of TLS 1.3 tickets by the Mbed TLS client is now
32 disabled at runtime. Applications that were using TLS 1.3 tickets
33 signalled by MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_RECEIVED_NEW_SESSION_TICKET return values now
34 need to enable the handling of TLS 1.3 tickets through the new
35 mbedtls_ssl_conf_tls13_enable_signal_new_session_tickets() API.
36
37New deprecations
38 * The experimental functions psa_generate_key_ext() and
39 psa_key_derivation_output_key_ext() are deprecated in favor of
40 psa_generate_key_custom() and psa_key_derivation_output_key_custom().
41 They have almost exactly the same interface, but the variable-length
42 data is passed in a separate parameter instead of a flexible array
43 member.
44 * The following cryptographic mechanisms are planned to be removed
45 in Mbed TLS 4.0:
46 - DES (including 3DES).
47 - PKCS#1v1.5 encryption/decryption (RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5).
48 (OAEP, PSS, and PKCS#1v1.5 signature are staying.)
49 - Finite-field Diffie-Hellman with custom groups.
50 (RFC 7919 groups remain supported.)
51 - Elliptic curves of size 225 bits or less.
52 * The following cipher suites are planned to be removed from (D)TLS 1.2
53 in Mbed TLS 4.0:
54 - TLS_RSA_* (including TLS_RSA_PSK_*), i.e. cipher suites using
55 RSA decryption.
56 (RSA signatures, i.e. TLS_ECDHE_RSA_*, are staying.)
57 - TLS_ECDH_*, i.e. cipher suites using static ECDH.
58 (Ephemeral ECDH, i.e. TLS_ECDHE_*, is staying.)
59 - TLS_DHE_*, i.e. cipher suites using finite-field Diffie-Hellman.
60 (Ephemeral ECDH, i.e. TLS_ECDHE_*, is staying.)
61 - TLS_*CBC*, i.e. all cipher suites using CBC.
62 * The following low-level application interfaces are planned to be removed
63 from the public API in Mbed TLS 4.0:
64 - Hashes: hkdf.h, md5.h, ripemd160.h, sha1.h, sha3.h, sha256.h, sha512.h;
65 - Random generation: ctr_drbg.h, hmac_drbg.h, entropy.h;
66 - Ciphers and modes: aes.h, aria.h, camellia.h, chacha20.h, chachapoly.h,
67 cipher.h, cmac.h, gcm.h, poly1305.h;
68 - Private key encryption mechanisms: pkcs5.h, pkcs12.h.
69 - Asymmetric cryptography: bignum.h, dhm.h, ecdh.h, ecdsa.h, ecjpake.h,
70 ecp.h, rsa.h.
71 The cryptographic mechanisms remain present, but they will only be
72 accessible via the PSA API (psa_xxx functions introduced gradually
73 starting with Mbed TLS 2.17) and, where relevant, `pk.h`.
74 For guidance on migrating application code to the PSA API, please consult
75 the PSA transition guide (docs/psa-transition.md).
76 * The following integration interfaces are planned to be removed
77 in Mbed TLS 4.0:
78 - MBEDTLS_xxx_ALT replacement of cryptographic modules and functions.
79 Use PSA transparent drivers instead.
80 - MBEDTLS_PK_RSA_ALT and MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C.
81 Use PSA opaque drivers instead.
82
83Features
84 * When the new compilation option MBEDTLS_PSA_KEY_STORE_DYNAMIC is enabled,
85 the number of volatile PSA keys is virtually unlimited, at the expense
86 of increased code size. This option is off by default, but enabled in
87 the default mbedtls_config.h. Fixes #9216.
88
89Security
90 * Unlike previously documented, enabling MBEDTLS_PSA_HMAC_DRBG_MD_TYPE does
91 not cause the PSA subsystem to use HMAC_DRBG: it uses HMAC_DRBG only when
92 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG and MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_C are disabled.
93 CVE-2024-45157
94 * Fix a stack buffer overflow in mbedtls_ecdsa_der_to_raw() and
95 mbedtls_ecdsa_raw_to_der() when the bits parameter is larger than the
96 largest supported curve. In some configurations with PSA disabled,
97 all values of bits are affected. This never happens in internal library
98 calls, but can affect applications that call these functions directly.
99 CVE-2024-45158
100 * With TLS 1.3, when a server enables optional authentication of the
101 client, if the client-provided certificate does not have appropriate values
102 in keyUsage or extKeyUsage extensions, then the return value of
103 mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result() would incorrectly have the
104 MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_KEY_USAGE and MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_EXT_KEY_USAGE bits
105 clear. As a result, an attacker that had a certificate valid for uses other
106 than TLS client authentication could be able to use it for TLS client
107 authentication anyway. Only TLS 1.3 servers were affected, and only with
108 optional authentication (required would abort the handshake with a fatal
109 alert).
110 CVE-2024-45159
111
112Bugfix
113 * Fix TLS 1.3 client build and runtime when support for session tickets is
114 disabled (MBEDTLS_SSL_SESSION_TICKETS configuration option). Fixes #6395.
115 * Fix compilation error when memcpy() is a function-like macros. Fixes #8994.
116 * MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C and MBEDTLS_ASN1_WRITE_C are now automatically enabled
117 as soon as MBEDTLS_RSA_C is enabled. Fixes #9041.
118 * Fix undefined behaviour (incrementing a NULL pointer by zero length) when
119 passing in zero length additional data to multipart AEAD.
120 * Fix rare concurrent access bug where attempting to operate on a
121 non-existent key while concurrently creating a new key could potentially
122 corrupt the key store.
123 * Fix error handling when creating a key in a dynamic secure element
124 (feature enabled by MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C). In a low memory condition,
125 the creation could return PSA_SUCCESS but using or destroying the key
126 would not work. Fixes #8537.
127 * Fix issue of redefinition warning messages for _GNU_SOURCE in
128 entropy_poll.c and sha_256.c. There was a build warning during
129 building for linux platform.
130 Resolves #9026
131 * Fix a compilation warning in pk.c when PSA is enabled and RSA is disabled.
132 * Fix the build when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is enabled and the built-in
133 CMAC is enabled, but no built-in unauthenticated cipher is enabled.
134 Fixes #9209.
135 * Fix redefinition warnings when SECP192R1 and/or SECP192K1 are disabled.
136 Fixes #9029.
137 * Fix psa_cipher_decrypt() with CCM* rejecting messages less than 3 bytes
138 long. Credit to Cryptofuzz. Fixes #9314.
139 * Fix interference between PSA volatile keys and built-in keys
140 when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_BUILTIN_KEYS is enabled and
141 MBEDTLS_PSA_KEY_SLOT_COUNT is more than 4096.
142 * Document and enforce the limitation of mbedtls_psa_register_se_key()
143 to persistent keys. Resolves #9253.
144 * Fix Clang compilation error when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled
145 but MBEDTLS_DHM_C is disabled. Reported by Michael Schuster in #9188.
146 * Fix server mode only build when MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_C is enabled but
147 MBEDTLS_SSL_CLI_C is disabled. Reported by M-Bab on GitHub in #9186.
148 * When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C was disabled and MBEDTLS_ECDSA_C enabled,
149 some code was defining 0-size arrays, resulting in compilation errors.
150 Fixed by disabling the offending code in configurations without PSA
151 Crypto, where it never worked. Fixes #9311.
152 * Fix unintended performance regression when using short RSA public keys.
153 Fixes #9232.
154 * Fixes an issue where some TLS 1.2 clients could not connect to an
155 Mbed TLS 3.6.0 server, due to incorrect handling of
156 legacy_compression_methods in the ClientHello.
157 Fixes #8995, #9243.
158 * Fix TLS connections failing when the handshake selects TLS 1.3
159 in an application that does not call psa_crypto_init().
160 Fixes #9072.
161 * Fix TLS connection failure in applications using an Mbed TLS client in
162 the default configuration connecting to a TLS 1.3 server sending tickets.
163 See the documentation of
164 mbedtls_ssl_conf_tls13_enable_signal_new_session_tickets() for more
165 information.
166 Fixes #8749.
167 * Fix a memory leak that could occur when failing to process an RSA
168 key through some PSA functions due to low memory conditions.
169 * Fixed a regression introduced in 3.6.0 where the CA callback set with
170 mbedtls_ssl_conf_ca_cb() would stop working when connections were
171 upgraded to TLS 1.3. Fixed by adding support for the CA callback with TLS
172 1.3.
173 * Fixed a regression introduced in 3.6.0 where clients that relied on
174 optional/none authentication mode, by calling mbedtls_ssl_conf_authmode()
175 with MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL or MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_NONE, would stop
176 working when connections were upgraded to TLS 1.3. Fixed by adding
177 support for optional/none with TLS 1.3 as well. Note that the TLS 1.3
178 standard makes server authentication mandatory; users are advised not to
179 use authmode none, and to carefully check the results when using optional
180 mode.
181 * Fixed a regression introduced in 3.6.0 where context-specific certificate
182 verify callbacks, set with mbedtls_ssl_set_verify() as opposed to
183 mbedtls_ssl_conf_verify(), would stop working when connections were
184 upgraded to TLS 1.3. Fixed by adding support for context-specific verify
185 callback in TLS 1.3.
186
187Changes
188 * Warn if mbedtls/check_config.h is included manually, as this can
189 lead to spurious errors. Error if a *adjust*.h header is included
190 manually, as this can lead to silently inconsistent configurations,
191 potentially resulting in buffer overflows.
192 When migrating from Mbed TLS 2.x, if you had a custom config.h that
193 included check_config.h, remove this inclusion from the Mbed TLS 3.x
194 configuration file (renamed to mbedtls_config.h). This change was made
195 in Mbed TLS 3.0, but was not announced in a changelog entry at the time.
196
Tom Van Eyckb0563632024-06-13 16:20:14 +0200197= Mbed TLS 3.6.0 branch released 2024-03-28
198
199API changes
200 * Remove `tls13_` in mbedtls_ssl_tls13_conf_early_data() and
201 mbedtls_ssl_tls13_conf_max_early_data_size() API names. Early data
202 feature may not be TLS 1.3 specific in the future. Fixes #6909.
203
204Default behavior changes
205 * psa_import_key() now only accepts RSA keys in the PSA standard formats.
206 The undocumented ability to import other formats (PKCS#8, SubjectPublicKey,
207 PEM) accepted by the pkparse module has been removed. Applications that
208 need these formats can call mbedtls_pk_parse_{public,}key() followed by
209 mbedtls_pk_import_into_psa().
210
211Requirement changes
212 * Drop support for Visual Studio 2013 and 2015, and Arm Compiler 5.
213
214New deprecations
215 * Rename the MBEDTLS_SHA256_USE_A64_CRYPTO_xxx config options to
216 MBEDTLS_SHA256_USE_ARMV8_A_CRYPTO_xxx. The old names may still
217 be used, but are deprecated.
218 * In the PSA API, domain parameters are no longer used for anything.
219 They are deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the
220 library.
221 * mbedtls_ecp_write_key() is deprecated in favor of
222 mbedtls_ecp_write_key_ext().
223
224Removals
225 * In the PSA API, the experimental way to encode the public exponent of
226 an RSA key as a domain parameter is no longer supported. Use
227 psa_generate_key_ext() instead.
228 * Temporary function mbedtls_pk_wrap_as_opaque() is removed. To mimic the
229 same behavior mbedtls_pk_get_psa_attributes() and
230 mbedtls_pk_import_into_psa() can be used to import a PK key into PSA,
231 while mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque() can be used to wrap a PSA key into a opaque
232 PK context.
233
234Features
235 * Added an example program showing how to hash with the PSA API.
236 * Support Armv8-A Crypto Extension acceleration for SHA-256
237 when compiling for Thumb (T32) or 32-bit Arm (A32).
238 * AES-NI is now supported in Windows builds with clang and clang-cl.
239 Resolves #8372.
240 * Add new mbedtls_x509_csr_parse_der_with_ext_cb() routine which allows
241 parsing unsupported certificate extensions via user provided callback.
242 * Enable the new option MBEDTLS_BLOCK_CIPHER_NO_DECRYPT to omit
243 the decryption direction of block ciphers (AES, ARIA, Camellia).
244 This affects both the low-level modules and the high-level APIs
245 (the cipher and PSA interfaces). This option is incompatible with modes
246 that use the decryption direction (ECB in PSA, CBC, XTS, KW) and with DES.
247 * Support use of Armv8-A Cryptographic Extensions for hardware acclerated
248 AES when compiling for Thumb (T32) or 32-bit Arm (A32).
249 * If a cipher or AEAD mechanism has a PSA driver, you can now build the
250 library without the corresponding built-in implementation. Generally
251 speaking that requires both the key type and algorithm to be accelerated
252 or they'll both be built in. However, for CCM and GCM the built-in
253 implementation is able to take advantage of a driver that only
254 accelerates the key type (that is, the block cipher primitive). See
255 docs/driver-only-builds.md for full details and current limitations.
256 * The CTR_DRBG module will now use AES from a PSA driver if MBEDTLS_AES_C is
257 disabled. This requires PSA_WANT_ALG_ECB_NO_PADDING in addition to
258 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C and PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_AES.
259 * Fewer modules depend on MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C, making it possible to save code
260 size by disabling it in more circumstances. In particular, the CCM and
261 GCM modules no longer depend on MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C. Also,
262 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO can now be enabled without MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C if all
263 unauthenticated (non-AEAD) ciphers are disabled, or if they're all
264 fully provided by drivers. See docs/driver-only-builds.md for full
265 details and current limitations; in particular, NIST_KW and PKCS5/PKCS12
266 decryption still unconditionally depend on MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C.
267 * Add support for record size limit extension as defined by RFC 8449
268 and configured with MBEDTLS_SSL_RECORD_SIZE_LIMIT.
269 Application data sent and received will be fragmented according to
270 Record size limits negotiated during handshake.
271 * Improve performance of AES-GCM, AES-CTR and CTR-DRBG when
272 hardware accelerated AES is not present (around 13-23% on 64-bit Arm).
273 * Add functions mbedtls_ecc_group_to_psa() and mbedtls_ecc_group_from_psa()
274 to convert between Mbed TLS and PSA curve identifiers.
275 * Add utility functions to manipulate mbedtls_ecp_keypair objects, filling
276 gaps made by making its fields private: mbedtls_ecp_set_public_key(),
277 mbedtls_ecp_write_public_key(), mbedtls_ecp_keypair_calc_public(),
278 mbedtls_ecp_keypair_get_group_id(). Fixes #5017, #5441, #8367, #8652.
279 * Add functions mbedtls_md_psa_alg_from_type() and
280 mbedtls_md_type_from_psa_alg() to convert between mbedtls_md_type_t and
281 psa_algorithm_t.
282 * Add partial platform support for z/OS.
283 * Improve performance for gcc (versions older than 9.3.0) and IAR.
284 * Add functions mbedtls_ecdsa_raw_to_der() and mbedtls_ecdsa_der_to_raw() to
285 convert ECDSA signatures between raw and DER (ASN.1) formats.
286 * Add support for using AES-CBC 128, 192, and 256 bit schemes
287 with PKCS#5 PBES2. Keys encrypted this way can now be parsed by PK parse.
288 * The new function mbedtls_rsa_get_bitlen() returns the length of the modulus
289 in bits, i.e. the key size for an RSA key.
290 * Add pc files for pkg-config, e.g.:
291 pkg-config --cflags --libs (mbedtls|mbedcrypto|mbedx509)
292 * Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_session_get_ticket_creation_time()) to access
293 `mbedtls_ssl_session.ticket_creation_time`.
294 * The new functions mbedtls_pk_get_psa_attributes() and
295 mbedtls_pk_import_into_psa() provide a uniform way to create a PSA
296 key from a PK key.
297 * The benchmark program now reports times for both ephemeral and static
298 ECDH in all ECDH configurations.
299 * Add support for 8-bit GCM tables for Shoup's algorithm to speedup GCM
300 operations when hardware accelerated AES is not present. Improves
301 performance by around 30% on 64-bit Intel; 125% on Armv7-M.
302 * The new function psa_generate_key_ext() allows generating an RSA
303 key pair with a custom public exponent.
304 * The new function mbedtls_ecp_write_key_ext() is similar to
305 mbedtls_ecp_write_key(), but can be used without separately calculating
306 the output length.
307 * Add new accessor to expose the private group id member of
308 `mbedtls_ecdh_context` structure.
309 * Add new accessor to expose the `MBEDTLS_PRIVATE(ca_istrue)` member of
310 `mbedtls_x509_crt` structure. This requires setting
311 the MBEDTLS_X509_EXT_BASIC_CONSTRAINTS bit in the certificate's
312 ext_types field.
313 * mbedtls_psa_get_random() is always available as soon as
314 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CLIENT is enabled at build time and psa_crypto_init() is
315 called at runtime. This together with MBEDTLS_PSA_RANDOM_STATE can be
316 used as random number generator function (f_rng) and context (p_rng) in
317 legacy functions.
318 * The new functions mbedtls_pk_copy_from_psa() and
319 mbedtls_pk_copy_public_from_psa() provide ways to set up a PK context
320 with the same content as a PSA key.
321 * Add new accessors to expose the private session-id,
322 session-id length, and ciphersuite-id members of
323 `mbedtls_ssl_session` structure.
324 Add new accessor to expose the ciphersuite-id of
325 `mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_t` structure.Design ref: #8529
326 * Mbed TLS now supports the writing and reading of TLS 1.3 early data (see
327 docs/tls13-early-data.md). The support enablement is controlled at build
328 time by the MBEDTLS_SSL_EARLY_DATA configuration option and at runtime by
329 the mbedtls_ssl_conf_early_data() API (by default disabled in both cases).
330 * Add protection for multithreaded access to the PSA keystore and protection
331 for multithreaded access to the the PSA global state, including
332 concurrently calling psa_crypto_init() when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C and
333 MBEDTLS_THREADING_PTHREAD are defined. See
334 docs/architecture/psa-thread-safety/psa-thread-safety.md for more details.
335 Resolves issues #3263 and #7945.
336
337Security
338 * Fix a stack buffer overread (less than 256 bytes) when parsing a TLS 1.3
339 ClientHello in a TLS 1.3 server supporting some PSK key exchange mode. A
340 malicious client could cause information disclosure or a denial of service.
Sungbae Yoo4d211f32024-11-19 02:47:55 +0000341 Fixes CVE-2024-30166.
Tom Van Eyckb0563632024-06-13 16:20:14 +0200342 * Passing buffers that are stored in untrusted memory as arguments
343 to PSA functions is now secure by default.
344 The PSA core now protects against modification of inputs or exposure
345 of intermediate outputs during operations. This is currently implemented
346 by copying buffers.
347 This feature increases code size and memory usage. If buffers passed to
348 PSA functions are owned exclusively by the PSA core for the duration of
349 the function call (i.e. no buffer parameters are in shared memory),
350 copying may be disabled by setting MBEDTLS_PSA_ASSUME_EXCLUSIVE_BUFFERS.
351 Note that setting this option will cause input-output buffer overlap to
352 be only partially supported (#3266).
353 Fixes CVE-2024-28960.
354 * Restore the maximum TLS version to be negotiated to the configured one
355 when an SSL context is reset with the mbedtls_ssl_session_reset() API.
356 An attacker was able to prevent an Mbed TLS server from establishing any
357 TLS 1.3 connection potentially resulting in a Denial of Service or forced
358 version downgrade from TLS 1.3 to TLS 1.2. Fixes #8654 reported by hey3e.
359 Fixes CVE-2024-28755.
360 * When negotiating TLS version on server side, do not fall back to the
361 TLS 1.2 implementation of the protocol if it is disabled.
362 - If the TLS 1.2 implementation was disabled at build time, a TLS 1.2
363 client could put the TLS 1.3-only server in an infinite loop processing
364 a TLS 1.2 ClientHello, resulting in a denial of service. Reported by
365 Matthias Mucha and Thomas Blattmann, SICK AG.
366 - If the TLS 1.2 implementation was disabled at runtime, a TLS 1.2 client
367 was able to successfully establish a TLS 1.2 connection with the server.
368 Reported by alluettiv on GitHub.
369 Fixes CVE-2024-28836.
370
371Bugfix
372 * Fix the build with CMake when Everest or P256-m is enabled through
373 a user configuration file or the compiler command line. Fixes #8165.
374 * Fix compilation error in C++ programs when MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C is
375 disabled.
376 * Fix possible NULL dereference issue in X509 cert_req program if an entry
377 in the san parameter is not separated by a colon.
378 * Fix possible NULL dereference issue in X509 cert_write program if an entry
379 in the san parameter is not separated by a colon.
380 * Fix an inconsistency between implementations and usages of `__cpuid`,
381 which mainly causes failures when building Windows target using
382 mingw or clang. Fixes #8334 & #8332.
383 * Fix build failure in conda-forge. Fixes #8422.
384 * Fix parsing of CSRs with critical extensions.
385 * Switch to milliseconds as the unit for ticket creation and reception time
386 instead of seconds. That avoids rounding errors when computing the age of
387 tickets compared to peer using a millisecond clock (observed with GnuTLS).
388 Fixes #6623.
389 * Fix TLS server accepting TLS 1.2 handshake while TLS 1.2
390 is disabled at runtime. Fixes #8593.
391 * Remove accidental introduction of RSA signature algorithms
392 in TLS Suite B Profile. Fixes #8221.
393 * Fix unsupported PSA asymmetric encryption and decryption
394 (psa_asymmetric_[en|de]crypt) with opaque keys.
395 Resolves #8461.
396 * On Linux on ARMv8, fix a build error with SHA-256 and SHA-512
397 acceleration detection when the libc headers do not define the
398 corresponding constant. Reported by valord577.
399 * Correct initial capacities for key derivation algorithms:TLS12_PRF,
400 TLS12_PSK_TO_MS, PBKDF2-HMAC, PBKDF2-CMAC
401 * Fix mbedtls_pk_get_bitlen() for RSA keys whose size is not a
402 multiple of 8. Fixes #868.
403 * Avoid segmentation fault caused by releasing not initialized
404 entropy resource in gen_key example. Fixes #8809.
405 * mbedtls_pem_read_buffer() now performs a check on the padding data of
406 decrypted keys and it rejects invalid ones.
407 * Fix mbedtls_pk_sign(), mbedtls_pk_verify(), mbedtls_pk_decrypt() and
408 mbedtls_pk_encrypt() on non-opaque RSA keys to honor the padding mode in
409 the RSA context. Before, if MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO was enabled and the
410 RSA context was configured for PKCS#1 v2.1 (PSS/OAEP), the sign/verify
411 functions performed a PKCS#1 v1.5 signature instead and the
412 encrypt/decrypt functions returned an error. Fixes #8824.
413 * Fix missing bitflags in SSL session serialization headers. Their absence
414 allowed SSL sessions saved in one configuration to be loaded in a
415 different, incompatible configuration.
416 * In TLS 1.3 clients, fix an interoperability problem due to the client
417 generating a new random after a HelloRetryRequest. Fixes #8669.
418 * Fix the restoration of the ALPN when loading serialized connection with
419 the mbedtls_ssl_context_load() API.
420 * Fix NULL pointer dereference in mbedtls_pk_verify_ext() when called using
421 an opaque RSA context and specifying MBEDTLS_PK_RSASSA_PSS as key type.
422 * Fix RSA opaque keys always using PKCS1 v1.5 algorithms instead of the
423 primary algorithm of the wrapped PSA key.
424 * Fully support arbitrary overlap between inputs and outputs of PSA
425 functions. Note that overlap is still only partially supported when
426 MBEDTLS_PSA_ASSUME_EXCLUSIVE_BUFFERS is set (#3266).
427
428Changes
429 * Use heap memory to allocate DER encoded public/private key.
430 This reduces stack usage significantly for writing a public/private
431 key to a PEM string.
432 * PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM and PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG are no more synonyms and
433 they are now treated separately. This means that they should be
434 individually enabled in order to enable respective support; also the
435 corresponding MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL symbol should be defined in case
436 acceleration is required.
437 * Moved declaration of functions mbedtls_ecc_group_to_psa and
438 mbedtls_ecc_group_of_psa from psa/crypto_extra.h to mbedtls/psa_util.h
439 * mbedtls_pk_sign_ext() is now always available, not just when
440 PSA (MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C) is enabled.
441 * Extended PSA Crypto configurations options for FFDH by making it possible
442 to select only some of the parameters / groups, with the macros
443 PSA_WANT_DH_RFC7919_XXXX. You now need to defined the corresponding macro
444 for each size you want to support. Also, if you have an FFDH accelerator,
445 you'll need to define the appropriate MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL macros to signal
446 support for these domain parameters.
447 * RSA support in PSA no longer auto-enables the pkparse and pkwrite modules,
448 saving code size when those are not otherwise enabled.
449 * mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod and code that uses it, notably RSA and DHM operations,
450 have changed their speed/memory compromise as part of a proactive security
451 improvement. The new default value of MBEDTLS_MPI_WINDOW_SIZE roughly
452 preserves the current speed, at the expense of increasing memory
453 consumption.
454 * Rename directory containing Visual Studio files from visualc/VS2013 to
455 visualc/VS2017.
456 * The TLS 1.3 protocol is now enabled in the default configuration.
457
458= Mbed TLS 3.5.2 branch released 2024-01-26
459
460Security
461 * Fix a timing side channel in private key RSA operations. This side channel
462 could be sufficient for an attacker to recover the plaintext. A local
463 attacker or a remote attacker who is close to the victim on the network
464 might have precise enough timing measurements to exploit this. It requires
465 the attacker to send a large number of messages for decryption. For
466 details, see "Everlasting ROBOT: the Marvin Attack", Hubert Kario. Reported
467 by Hubert Kario, Red Hat.
468 * Fix a failure to validate input when writing x509 extensions lengths which
469 could result in an integer overflow, causing a zero-length buffer to be
470 allocated to hold the extension. The extension would then be copied into
471 the buffer, causing a heap buffer overflow.
472

475Changes
476 * Mbed TLS is now released under a dual Apache-2.0 OR GPL-2.0-or-later
477 license. Users may choose which license they take the code under.
478
479Bugfix
480 * Fix accidental omission of MBEDTLS_TARGET_PREFIX in 3rdparty modules
481 in CMake.
482
483= Mbed TLS 3.5.0 branch released 2023-10-05
484
485API changes
486 * Mbed TLS 3.4 introduced support for omitting the built-in implementation
487 of ECDSA and/or EC J-PAKE when those are provided by a driver. However,
488 there was a flaw in the logic checking if the built-in implementation, in
489 that it failed to check if all the relevant curves were supported by the
490 accelerator. As a result, it was possible to declare no curves as
491 accelerated and still have the built-in implementation compiled out.
492 Starting with this release, it is necessary to declare which curves are
493 accelerated (using MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_ECC_xxx macros), or they will be
494 considered not accelerated, and the built-in implementation of the curves
495 and any algorithm possible using them will be included in the build.
496 * Add new millisecond time type `mbedtls_ms_time_t` and `mbedtls_ms_time()`
497 function, needed for TLS 1.3 ticket lifetimes. Alternative implementations
498 can be created using an ALT interface.
499
500Requirement changes
501 * Officially require Python 3.8 now that earlier versions are out of support.
502 * Minimum required Windows version is now Windows Vista, or
503 Windows Server 2008.
504
505New deprecations
506 * PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR and
507 MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR, where xxx is either ECC or RSA,
508 are now being deprecated in favor of PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy and
509 MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy. Here yyy can be: BASIC,
510 IMPORT, EXPORT, GENERATE, DERIVE. The goal is to have a finer detail about
511 the capabilities of the PSA side for either key.
512 * MBEDTLS_CIPHER_BLKSIZE_MAX is deprecated in favor of
513 MBEDTLS_MAX_BLOCK_LENGTH (if you intended what the name suggests:
514 maximum size of any supported block cipher) or the new name
515 MBEDTLS_CMAC_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE (if you intended the actual semantics:
516 maximum size of a block cipher supported by the CMAC module).
517 * mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() and mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe() functions are now
518 deprecated in favor of mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2_ext() and
519 mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe_ext() as they offer more security by checking
520 for overflow of the output buffer and reporting the actual length
521 of the output.
522
523Features
524 * All modules that use hashes or HMAC can now take advantage of PSA Crypto
525 drivers when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C is enabled and psa_crypto_init() has
526 been called. Previously (in 3.3), this was restricted to a few modules,
527 and only in builds where MBEDTLS_MD_C was disabled; in particular the
528 entropy module was not covered which meant an external RNG had to be
529 provided - these limitations are lifted in this version. A new set of
530 feature macros, MBEDTLS_MD_CAN_xxx, has been introduced that can be used
531 to check for availability of hash algorithms, regardless of whether
532 they're provided by a built-in implementation, a driver or both. See
533 docs/driver-only-builds.md.
534 * When a PSA driver for ECDH is present, it is now possible to disable
535 MBEDTLS_ECDH_C in the build in order to save code size. For TLS 1.2
536 key exchanges based on ECDH(E) to work, this requires
537 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO. Restartable/interruptible ECDHE operations in
538 TLS 1.2 (ECDHE-ECDSA key exchange) are not supported in those builds yet,
539 as PSA does not have an API for restartable ECDH yet.
540 * When all of ECDH, ECDSA and EC J-PAKE are either disabled or provided by
541 a driver, it is possible to disable MBEDTLS_ECP_C (and MBEDTLS_BIGNUM_C
542 if not required by another module) and still get support for ECC keys and
543 algorithms in PSA, with some limitations. See docs/driver-only-builds.txt
544 for details.
545 * Add parsing of directoryName subtype for subjectAltName extension in
546 x509 certificates.
547 * Add support for server-side TLS version negotiation. If both TLS 1.2 and
548 TLS 1.3 protocols are enabled, the TLS server now selects TLS 1.2 or
549 TLS 1.3 depending on the capabilities and preferences of TLS clients.
550 Fixes #6867.
551 * X.509 hostname verification now supports IPAddress Subject Alternate Names.
552 * Add support for reading and writing X25519 and X448
553 public and private keys in RFC 8410 format using the existing PK APIs.
554 * When parsing X.509 certificates, support the extensions
555 SignatureKeyIdentifier and AuthorityKeyIdentifier.
556 * Don't include the PSA dispatch functions for PAKEs (psa_pake_setup() etc)
557 if no PAKE algorithms are requested
558 * Add support for the FFDH algorithm and DH key types in PSA, with
559 parameters from RFC 7919. This includes a built-in implementation based
560 on MBEDTLS_BIGNUM_C, and a driver dispatch layer enabling alternative
561 implementations of FFDH through the driver entry points.
562 * It is now possible to generate certificates with SubjectAltNames.
563 Currently supported subtypes: DnsName, UniformResourceIdentifier,
564 IP address, OtherName, and DirectoryName, as defined in RFC 5280.
565 See mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_subject_alternative_name for
566 more information.
567 * X.509 hostname verification now partially supports URI Subject Alternate
568 Names. Only exact matching, without any normalization procedures
569 described in 7.4 of RFC5280, will result in a positive URI verification.
570 * Add function mbedtls_oid_from_numeric_string() to parse an OID from a
571 string to a DER-encoded mbedtls_asn1_buf.
572 * Add SHA-3 family hash functions.
573 * Add support to restrict AES to 128-bit keys in order to save code size.
574 A new configuration option, MBEDTLS_AES_ONLY_128_BIT_KEY_LENGTH, can be
575 used to enable this feature.
576 * AES performance improvements. Uplift varies by platform,
577 toolchain, optimisation flags and mode.
578 Aarch64, gcc -Os and CCM, GCM and XTS benefit the most.
579 On Aarch64, uplift is typically around 20 - 110%.
580 When compiling with gcc -Os on Aarch64, AES-XTS improves
581 by 4.5x.
582 * Add support for PBKDF2-HMAC through the PSA API.
583 * New symbols PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy and
584 MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy (where xxx is either ECC, RSA
585 or DH) were introduced in order to have finer accuracy in defining the
586 PSA capabilities for each key. These capabilities, named yyy above, can be
587 any of: BASIC, IMPORT, EXPORT, GENERATE, DERIVE.
588 - DERIVE is only available for ECC keys, not for RSA or DH ones.
589 - implementations are free to enable more than what it was strictly
590 requested. For example BASIC internally enables IMPORT and EXPORT
591 (useful for testing purposes), but this might change in the future.
592 * Add support for FFDH key exchange in TLS 1.3.
593 This is automatically enabled as soon as PSA_WANT_ALG_FFDH
594 and the ephemeral or psk-ephemeral key exchange mode are enabled.
595 By default, all groups are offered; the list of groups can be
596 configured using the existing API function mbedtls_ssl_conf_groups().
597 * Improve mbedtls_x509_time performance and reduce memory use.
598 * Reduce syscalls to time() during certificate verification.
599 * Allow MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE and MBEDTLS_USER_CONFIG_FILE to be set by
600 setting the CMake variable of the same name at configuration time.
601 * Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_cache_get_timeout()) to access
602 `mbedtls_ssl_cache_context.timeout`.
603 * Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_get_hostname()) to access
604 `mbedtls_ssl_context.hostname`.
605 * Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_conf_get_endpoint()) to access
606 `mbedtls_ssl_config.endpoint`.
607 * Support for "opaque" (PSA-held) ECC keys in the PK module has been
608 extended: it is now possible to use mbedtls_pk_write_key_der(),
609 mbedtls_pk_write_key_pem(), mbedtls_pk_check_pair(), and
610 mbedtls_pk_verify() with opaque ECC keys (provided the PSA attributes
611 allow it).
612 * The documentation of mbedtls_ecp_group now describes the optimized
613 representation of A for some curves. Fixes #8045.
614 * Add a possibility to generate CSR's with RCF822 and directoryName subtype
615 of subjectAltName extension in x509 certificates.
616 * Add support for PBKDF2-CMAC through the PSA API.
617 * New configuration option MBEDTLS_AES_USE_HARDWARE_ONLY introduced. When
618 using CPU-accelerated AES (e.g., Arm Crypto Extensions), this option
619 disables the plain C implementation and the run-time detection for the
620 CPU feature, which reduces code size and avoids the vulnerability of the
621 plain C implementation.
622 * Accept arbitrary AttributeType and AttributeValue in certificate
623 Distinguished Names using RFC 4514 syntax.
624 * Applications using ECC over secp256r1 through the PSA API can use a
625 new implementation with a much smaller footprint, but some minor
626 usage restrictions. See the documentation of the new configuration
627 option MBEDTLS_PSA_P256M_DRIVER_ENABLED for details.
628
629Security
630 * Fix a case where potentially sensitive information held in memory would not
631 be completely zeroized during TLS 1.2 handshake, in both server and client
632 configurations.
633 * In configurations with ARIA or Camellia but not AES, the value of
634 MBEDTLS_CIPHER_BLKSIZE_MAX was 8, rather than 16 as the name might
635 suggest. This did not affect any library code, because this macro was
636 only used in relation with CMAC which does not support these ciphers.
637 This may affect application code that uses this macro.
638 * Developers using mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() or mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe() should
639 review the size of the output buffer passed to this function, and note
640 that the output after decryption may include CBC padding. Consider moving
641 to the new functions mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2_ext() or mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe_ext()
642 which checks for overflow of the output buffer and reports the actual
643 length of the output.
644 * Improve padding calculations in CBC decryption, NIST key unwrapping and
645 RSA OAEP decryption. With the previous implementation, some compilers
646 (notably recent versions of Clang and IAR) could produce non-constant
647 time code, which could allow a padding oracle attack if the attacker
648 has access to precise timing measurements.
649 * Updates to constant-time C code so that compilers are less likely to use
650 conditional instructions, which can have an observable difference in
651 timing. (Clang has been seen to do this.) Also introduce assembly
652 implementations for 32- and 64-bit Arm and for x86 and x86-64, which are
653 guaranteed not to use conditional instructions.
654 * Fix definition of MBEDTLS_MD_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE, which was too
655 small when MBEDTLS_SHA384_C was defined and MBEDTLS_SHA512_C was
656 undefined. Mbed TLS itself was unaffected by this, but user code
657 which used MBEDTLS_MD_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE could be affected. The only
658 release containing this bug was Mbed TLS 3.4.0.
659 * Fix a buffer overread when parsing short TLS application data records in
660 null-cipher cipher suites. Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
661 * Fix a remotely exploitable heap buffer overflow in TLS handshake parsing.
662 In TLS 1.3, all configurations are affected except PSK-only ones, and
663 both clients and servers are affected.
664 In TLS 1.2, the affected configurations are those with
665 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO and ECDH enabled but DHM and RSA disabled,
666 and only servers are affected, not clients.
667 Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
668
669Bugfix
670 * Fix proper sizing for PSA_EXPORT_[KEY_PAIR/PUBLIC_KEY]_MAX_SIZE and
671 PSA_SIGNATURE_MAX_SIZE buffers when at least one accelerated EC is bigger
672 than all built-in ones and RSA is disabled.
673 Resolves #6622.
674 * Add missing md.h includes to some of the external programs from
675 the programs directory. Without this, even though the configuration
676 was sufficient for a particular program to work, it would only print
677 a message that one of the required defines is missing.
678 * Fix declaration of mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det_restartable() function
679 in the ecdsa.h header file. There was a build warning when the
680 configuration macro MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT was defined.
681 Resolves #7407.
682 * Fix an error when MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT is defined but not
683 MBEDTLS_ECDSA_VERIFY_ALT, causing ecdsa verify to fail. Fixes #7498.
684 * Fix missing PSA initialization in sample programs when
685 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
686 * Fix the J-PAKE driver interface for user and peer to accept any values
687 (previously accepted values were limited to "client" or "server").
688 * Fix clang and armclang compilation error when targeting certain Arm
689 M-class CPUs (Cortex-M0, Cortex-M0+, Cortex-M1, Cortex-M23,
690 SecurCore SC000). Fixes #1077.
691 * Fix "unterminated '#pragma clang attribute push'" in sha256/sha512.c when
692 built with MBEDTLS_SHAxxx_USE_A64_CRYPTO_IF_PRESENT but don't have a
693 way to detect the crypto extensions required. A warning is still issued.
694 * Fixed an issue that caused compile errors when using CMake and the IAR
695 toolchain.
696 * Fix very high stack usage in SSL debug code. Reported by Maximilian
697 Gerhardt in #7804.
698 * Fix a compilation failure in the constant_time module when
699 building for arm64_32 (e.g., for watchos). Reported by Paulo
700 Coutinho in #7787.
701 * Fix crypt_and_hash decryption fail when used with a stream cipher
702 mode of operation due to the input not being multiple of block size.
703 Resolves #7417.
704 * Fix a bug in which mbedtls_x509_string_to_names() would return success
705 when given a invalid name string if it did not contain '=' or ','.
706 * Fix compilation warnings in aes.c, which prevented the
707 example TF-M configuration in configs/ from building cleanly:
708 tfm_mbedcrypto_config_profile_medium.h with
709 crypto_config_profile_medium.h.
710 * In TLS 1.3, fix handshake failure when a client in its ClientHello
711 proposes an handshake based on PSK only key exchange mode or at least
712 one of the key exchange modes using ephemeral keys to a server that
713 supports only the PSK key exchange mode.
714 * Fix CCM* with no tag being not supported in a build with CCM as the only
715 symmetric encryption algorithm and the PSA configuration enabled.
716 * Fix the build with MBEDTLS_PSA_INJECT_ENTROPY. Fixes #7516.
717 * Fix a compilation error on some platforms when including mbedtls/ssl.h
718 with all TLS support disabled. Fixes #6628.
719 * Fix x509 certificate generation to conform to RFC 5480 / RFC 5758 when
720 using ECC key. The certificate was rejected by some crypto frameworks.
721 Fixes #2924.
722 * Fix a potential corruption of the passed-in IV when mbedtls_aes_crypt_cbc()
723 is called with zero length and padlock is not enabled.
724 * Fix compile failure due to empty enum in cipher_wrap.c, when building
725 with a very minimal configuration. Fixes #7625.
726 * Fix some cases where mbedtls_mpi_mod_exp, RSA key construction or ECDSA
727 signature can silently return an incorrect result in low memory conditions.
728 * Don't try to include MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_USER_CONFIG_FILE when
729 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is disabled.
730 * Fix IAR compiler warnings.
731 * Fix an issue when parsing an otherName subject alternative name into a
732 mbedtls_x509_san_other_name struct. The type-id of the otherName was not
733 copied to the struct. This meant that the struct had incomplete
734 information about the otherName SAN and contained uninitialized memory.
735 * Fix the detection of HardwareModuleName otherName SANs. These were being
736 detected by comparing the wrong field and the check was erroneously
737 inverted.
738 * Fix a build error in some configurations with MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG
739 enabled, where some low-level modules required by requested PSA crypto
740 features were not getting automatically enabled. Fixes #7420.
741 * Fix undefined symbols in some builds using TLS 1.3 with a custom
742 configuration file.
743 * Fix log level for the got supported group message. Fixes #6765
744 * Functions in the ssl_cache module now return a negative MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx
745 error code on failure. Before, they returned 1 to indicate failure in
746 some cases involving a missing entry or a full cache.
747 * mbedtls_pk_parse_key() now rejects trailing garbage in encrypted keys.
748 * Fix the build with CMake when Everest or P256-m is enabled through
749 a user configuration file or the compiler command line. Fixes #8165.
750
751Changes
752 * Enable Arm / Thumb bignum assembly for most Arm platforms when
753 compiling with gcc, clang or armclang and -O0.
754 * Enforce minimum RSA key size when generating a key
755 to avoid accidental misuse.
756 * Use heap memory to allocate DER encoded RSA private key.
757 This reduces stack usage significantly for RSA signature
758 operations when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C is defined.
759 * Update Windows code to use BCryptGenRandom and wcslen, and
760 ensure that conversions between size_t, ULONG, and int are
761 always done safely. Original contribution by Kevin Kane #635, #730
762 followed by Simon Butcher #1453.
763 * Users integrating their own PSA drivers should be aware that
764 the file library/psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.c has been renamed
765 to psa_crypto_driver_wrappers_no_static.c.
766 * When using CBC with the cipher module, the requirement to call
767 mbedtls_cipher_set_padding_mode() is now enforced. Previously, omitting
768 this call accidentally applied a default padding mode chosen at compile
769 time.

780
781Default behavior changes
782 * The default priority order of TLS 1.3 cipher suites has been modified to
783 follow the same rules as the TLS 1.2 cipher suites (see
784 ssl_ciphersuites.c). The preferred cipher suite is now
785 TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256.
786
787New deprecations
788 * mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial() is now being deprecated in favor of
789 mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial_raw(). The goal here is to remove any
790 direct dependency of X509 on BIGNUM_C.
791 * PSA to mbedtls error translation is now unified in psa_util.h,
792 deprecating mbedtls_md_error_from_psa. Each file that performs error
793 translation should define its own version of PSA_TO_MBEDTLS_ERR,
794 optionally providing file-specific error pairs. Please see psa_util.h for
795 more details.
796
797Features
798 * Added partial support for parsing the PKCS #7 Cryptographic Message
799 Syntax, as defined in RFC 2315. Currently, support is limited to the
800 following:
801 - Only the signed-data content type, version 1 is supported.
802 - Only DER encoding is supported.
803 - Only a single digest algorithm per message is supported.
804 - Certificates must be in X.509 format. A message must have either 0
805 or 1 certificates.
806 - There is no support for certificate revocation lists.
807 - The authenticated and unauthenticated attribute fields of SignerInfo
808 must be empty.
809 Many thanks to Daniel Axtens, Nayna Jain, and Nick Child from IBM for
810 contributing this feature, and to Demi-Marie Obenour for contributing
811 various improvements, tests and bug fixes.
812 * General performance improvements by accessing multiple bytes at a time.
813 Fixes #1666.
814 * Improvements to use of unaligned and byte-swapped memory, reducing code
815 size and improving performance (depending on compiler and target
816 architecture).
817 * Add support for reading points in compressed format
818 (MBEDTLS_ECP_PF_COMPRESSED) with mbedtls_ecp_point_read_binary()
819 (and callers) for Short Weierstrass curves with prime p where p = 3 mod 4
820 (all mbedtls MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP* and MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_BP* curves
821 except MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP224R1 and MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP224K1)
822 * SHA224_C/SHA384_C are now independent from SHA384_C/SHA512_C respectively.
823 This helps in saving code size when some of the above hashes are not
824 required.
825 * Add parsing of V3 extensions (key usage, Netscape cert-type,
826 Subject Alternative Names) in x509 Certificate Sign Requests.
827 * Use HOSTCC (if it is set) when compiling C code during generation of the
828 configuration-independent files. This allows them to be generated when
829 CC is set for cross compilation.
830 * Add parsing of uniformResourceIdentifier subtype for subjectAltName
831 extension in x509 certificates.
832 * Add an interruptible version of sign and verify hash to the PSA interface,
833 backed by internal library support for ECDSA signing and verification.
834 * Add parsing of rfc822Name subtype for subjectAltName
835 extension in x509 certificates.
836 * The configuration macros MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_PLATFORM_FILE and
837 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_STRUCT_FILE specify alternative locations for
838 the headers "psa/crypto_platform.h" and "psa/crypto_struct.h".
839 * When a PSA driver for ECDSA is present, it is now possible to disable
840 MBEDTLS_ECDSA_C in the build in order to save code size. For PK, X.509
841 and TLS to fully work, this requires MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO to be enabled.
842 Restartable/interruptible ECDSA operations in PK, X.509 and TLS are not
843 supported in those builds yet, as driver support for interruptible ECDSA
844 operations is not present yet.
845 * Add a driver dispatch layer for EC J-PAKE, enabling alternative
846 implementations of EC J-PAKE through the driver entry points.
847 * Add new API mbedtls_ssl_cache_remove for cache entry removal by
848 its session id.
849 * Add support to include the SubjectAltName extension to a CSR.
850 * Add support for AES with the Armv8-A Cryptographic Extension on
851 64-bit Arm. A new configuration option, MBEDTLS_AESCE_C, can
852 be used to enable this feature. Run-time detection is supported
853 under Linux only.
854 * When a PSA driver for EC J-PAKE is present, it is now possible to disable
855 MBEDTLS_ECJPAKE_C in the build in order to save code size. For the
856 corresponding TLS 1.2 key exchange to work, MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO needs
857 to be enabled.
858 * Add functions mbedtls_rsa_get_padding_mode() and mbedtls_rsa_get_md_alg()
859 to read non-public fields for padding mode and hash id from
860 an mbedtls_rsa_context, as requested in #6917.
861 * AES-NI is now supported with Visual Studio.
862 * AES-NI is now supported in 32-bit builds, or when MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM
863 is disabled, when compiling with GCC or Clang or a compatible compiler
864 for a target CPU that supports the requisite instructions (for example
865 gcc -m32 -msse2 -maes -mpclmul). (Generic x86 builds with GCC-like
866 compilers still require MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM and a 64-bit target.)
867 * It is now possible to use a PSA-held (opaque) password with the TLS 1.2
868 ECJPAKE key exchange, using the new API function
869 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_ecjpake_password_opaque().
870
871Security
872 * Use platform-provided secure zeroization function where possible, such as
873 explicit_bzero().
874 * Zeroize SSL cache entries when they are freed.
875 * Fix a potential heap buffer overread in TLS 1.3 client-side when
876 MBEDTLS_DEBUG_C is enabled. This may result in an application crash.
877 * Add support for AES with the Armv8-A Cryptographic Extension on 64-bit
878 Arm, so that these systems are no longer vulnerable to timing side-channel
879 attacks. This is configured by MBEDTLS_AESCE_C, which is on by default.
880 Reported by Demi Marie Obenour.
881 * MBEDTLS_AESNI_C, which is enabled by default, was silently ignored on
882 builds that couldn't compile the GCC-style assembly implementation
883 (most notably builds with Visual Studio), leaving them vulnerable to
884 timing side-channel attacks. There is now an intrinsics-based AES-NI
885 implementation as a fallback for when the assembly one cannot be used.
886
887Bugfix
888 * Fix possible integer overflow in mbedtls_timing_hardclock(), which
889 could cause a crash in programs/test/benchmark.
890 * Fix IAR compiler warnings. Fixes #6924.
891 * Fix a bug in the build where directory names containing spaces were
892 causing generate_errors.pl to error out resulting in a build failure.
893 Fixes issue #6879.
894 * In TLS 1.3, when using a ticket for session resumption, tweak its age
895 calculation on the client side. It prevents a server with more accurate
896 ticket timestamps (typically timestamps in milliseconds) compared to the
897 Mbed TLS ticket timestamps (in seconds) to compute a ticket age smaller
898 than the age computed and transmitted by the client and thus potentially
899 reject the ticket. Fix #6623.
900 * Fix compile error where MBEDTLS_RSA_C and MBEDTLS_X509_CRT_WRITE_C are
901 defined, but MBEDTLS_PK_RSA_ALT_SUPPORT is not defined. Fixes #3174.
902 * List PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG in psa/crypto_config.h so that it can
903 be toggled with config.py.
904 * The key derivation algorithm PSA_ALG_TLS12_ECJPAKE_TO_PMS cannot be
905 used on a shared secret from a key agreement since its input must be
906 an ECC public key. Reject this properly.
907 * mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial() now explicitly rejects serial numbers
908 whose binary representation is longer than 20 bytes. This was already
909 forbidden by the standard (RFC5280 - section 4.1.2.2) and now it's being
910 enforced also at code level.
911 * Fix potential undefined behavior in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs(). Reported by
912 Pascal Cuoq using TrustInSoft Analyzer in #6701; observed independently by
913 Aaron Ucko under Valgrind.
914 * Fix behavior of certain sample programs which could, when run with no
915 arguments, access uninitialized memory in some cases. Fixes #6700 (which
916 was found by TrustInSoft Analyzer during REDOCS'22) and #1120.
917 * Fix parsing of X.509 SubjectAlternativeName extension. Previously,
918 malformed alternative name components were not caught during initial
919 certificate parsing, but only on subsequent calls to
920 mbedtls_x509_parse_subject_alt_name(). Fixes #2838.
921 * Make the fields of mbedtls_pk_rsassa_pss_options public. This makes it
922 possible to verify RSA PSS signatures with the pk module, which was
923 inadvertently broken since Mbed TLS 3.0.
924 * Fix bug in conversion from OID to string in
925 mbedtls_oid_get_numeric_string(). OIDs such as 2.40.0.25 are now printed
926 correctly.
927 * Reject OIDs with overlong-encoded subidentifiers when converting
928 them to a string.
929 * Reject OIDs with subidentifier values exceeding UINT_MAX. Such
930 subidentifiers can be valid, but Mbed TLS cannot currently handle them.
931 * Reject OIDs that have unterminated subidentifiers, or (equivalently)
932 have the most-significant bit set in their last byte.
933 * Silence warnings from clang -Wdocumentation about empty \retval
934 descriptions, which started appearing with Clang 15. Fixes #6960.
935 * Fix the handling of renegotiation attempts in TLS 1.3. They are now
936 systematically rejected.
937 * Fix an unused-variable warning in TLS 1.3-only builds if
938 MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION was enabled. Fixes #6200.
939 * Fix undefined behavior in mbedtls_ssl_read() and mbedtls_ssl_write() if
940 len argument is 0 and buffer is NULL.
941 * Allow setting user and peer identifiers for EC J-PAKE operation
942 instead of role in PAKE PSA Crypto API as described in the specification.
943 This is a partial fix that allows only "client" and "server" identifiers.
944 * Fix a compilation error when PSA Crypto is built with support for
945 TLS12_PRF but not TLS12_PSK_TO_MS. Reported by joerchan in #7125.
946 * In the TLS 1.3 server, select the preferred client cipher suite, not the
947 least preferred. The selection error was introduced in Mbed TLS 3.3.0.
948 * Fix TLS 1.3 session resumption when the established pre-shared key is
949 384 bits long. That is the length of pre-shared keys created under a
950 session where the cipher suite is TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384.
951 * Fix an issue when compiling with MBEDTLS_SHA512_USE_A64_CRYPTO_IF_PRESENT
952 enabled, which required specifying compiler flags enabling SHA3 Crypto
953 Extensions, where some compilers would emit EOR3 instructions in other
954 modules, which would then fail if run on a CPU without the SHA3
955 extensions. Fixes #5758.
956
957Changes
958 * Install the .cmake files into CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR/cmake/MbedTLS,
959 typically /usr/lib/cmake/MbedTLS.
960 * Mixed-endian systems are explicitly not supported any more.
961 * When MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO and MBEDTLS_ECDSA_DETERMINISTIC are both
962 defined, mbedtls_pk_sign() now use deterministic ECDSA for ECDSA
963 signatures. This aligns the behaviour with MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO to
964 the behaviour without it, where deterministic ECDSA was already used.
965 * Visual Studio: Rename the directory containing Visual Studio files from
966 visualc/VS2010 to visualc/VS2013 as we do not support building with versions
967 older than 2013. Update the solution file to specify VS2013 as a minimum.
968 * programs/x509/cert_write:
969 - now it accepts the serial number in 2 different formats: decimal and
970 hex. They cannot be used simultaneously
971 - "serial" is used for the decimal format and it's limted in size to
972 unsigned long long int
973 - "serial_hex" is used for the hex format; max length here is
974 MBEDTLS_X509_RFC5280_MAX_SERIAL_LEN*2
975 * The C code follows a new coding style. This is transparent for users but
976 affects contributors and maintainers of local patches. For more
977 information, see
978 https://mbed-tls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kb/how-to/rewrite-branch-for-coding-style/
979 * Changed the default MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE from 6 to 2.
980 As tested in issue 6790, the correlation between this define and
981 RSA decryption performance has changed lately due to security fixes.
982 To fix the performance degradation when using default values the
983 window was reduced from 6 to 2, a value that gives the best or close
984 to best results when tested on Cortex-M4 and Intel i7.
985 * When enabling MBEDTLS_SHA256_USE_A64_CRYPTO_* or
986 MBEDTLS_SHA512_USE_A64_CRYPTO_*, it is no longer necessary to specify
987 compiler target flags on the command line; the library now sets target
988 options within the appropriate modules.
989
990= Mbed TLS 3.3.0 branch released 2022-12-14
991
992Default behavior changes
993 * Previously the macro MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID implemented version 05
994 of the IETF draft, and was marked experimental and disabled by default.
995 It is now no longer experimental, and implements the final version from
996 RFC 9146, which is not interoperable with the draft-05 version.
997 If you need to communicate with peers that use earlier versions of
998 Mbed TLS, then you need to define MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID_COMPAT
999 to 1, but then you won't be able to communicate with peers that use the
1000 standard (non-draft) version.
1001 If you need to interoperate with both classes of peers with the
1002 same build of Mbed TLS, please let us know about your situation on the
1003 mailing list or GitHub.
1004
1005Requirement changes
1006 * When building with PSA drivers using generate_driver_wrappers.py, or
1007 when building the library from the development branch rather than
1008 from a release, the Python module jsonschema is now necessary, in
1009 addition to jinja2. The official list of required Python modules is
1010 maintained in scripts/basic.requirements.txt and may change again
1011 in the future.
1012
1013New deprecations
1014 * Deprecate mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data().
1015 Use mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list()
1016 or mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list_shallow().
1017
1018Features
1019 * Support rsa_pss_rsae_* signature algorithms in TLS 1.2.
1020 * make: enable building unversioned shared library, with e.g.:
1021 "SHARED=1 SOEXT_TLS=so SOEXT_X509=so SOEXT_CRYPTO=so make lib"
1022 resulting in library names like "libmbedtls.so" rather than
1023 "libmbedcrypto.so.11".
1024 * Expose the EC J-PAKE functionality through the Draft PSA PAKE Crypto API.
1025 Only the ECC primitive with secp256r1 curve and SHA-256 hash algorithm
1026 are supported in this implementation.
1027 * Some modules can now use PSA drivers for hashes, including with no
1028 built-in implementation present, but only in some configurations.
1029 - RSA OAEP and PSS (PKCS#1 v2.1), PKCS5, PKCS12 and EC J-PAKE now use
1030 hashes from PSA when (and only when) MBEDTLS_MD_C is disabled.
1031 - PEM parsing of encrypted files now uses MD-5 from PSA when (and only
1032 when) MBEDTLS_MD5_C is disabled.
1033 See the documentation of the corresponding macros in mbedtls_config.h for
1034 details.
1035 Note that some modules are not able to use hashes from PSA yet, including
1036 the entropy module. As a consequence, for now the only way to build with
1037 all hashes only provided by drivers (no built-in hash) is to use
1038 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG.
1039 * When MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled, X.509, TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 now
1040 properly negotiate/accept hashes based on their availability in PSA.
1041 As a consequence, they now work in configurations where the built-in
1042 implementations of (some) hashes are excluded and those hashes are only
1043 provided by PSA drivers. (See previous entry for limitation on RSA-PSS
1044 though: that module only use hashes from PSA when MBEDTLS_MD_C is off).
1045 * Add support for opaque keys as the private keys associated to certificates
1046 for authentication in TLS 1.3.
1047 * Add the LMS post-quantum-safe stateful-hash asymmetric signature scheme.
1048 Signature verification is production-ready, but generation is for testing
1049 purposes only. This currently only supports one parameter set
1050 (LMS_SHA256_M32_H10), meaning that each private key can be used to sign
1051 1024 messages. As such, it is not intended for use in TLS, but instead
1052 for verification of assets transmitted over an insecure channel,
1053 particularly firmware images.
1054 * Add the LM-OTS post-quantum-safe one-time signature scheme, which is
1055 required for LMS. This can be used independently, but each key can only
1056 be used to sign one message so is impractical for most circumstances.
1057 * Mbed TLS now supports TLS 1.3 key establishment via pre-shared keys.
1058 The pre-shared keys can be provisioned externally or via the ticket
1059 mechanism (session resumption).
1060 The ticket mechanism is supported when the configuration option
1061 MBEDTLS_SSL_SESSION_TICKETS is enabled.
1062 New options MBEDTLS_SSL_TLS1_3_KEY_EXCHANGE_MODE_xxx_ENABLED
1063 control the support for the three possible TLS 1.3 key exchange modes.
1064 * cert_write: support for setting extended key usage attributes. A
1065 corresponding new public API call has been added in the library,
1066 mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_ext_key_usage().
1067 * cert_write: support for writing certificate files in either PEM
1068 or DER format.
1069 * The PSA driver wrapper generator generate_driver_wrappers.py now
1070 supports a subset of the driver description language, including
1071 the following entry points: import_key, export_key, export_public_key,
1072 get_builtin_key, copy_key.
1073 * The new functions mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list() and
1074 mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list_shallow() simplify the management
1075 of memory in named data lists in X.509 structures.
1076 * The TLS 1.2 EC J-PAKE key exchange can now use the PSA Crypto API.
1077 Additional PSA key slots will be allocated in the process of such key
1078 exchange for builds that enable MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECJPAKE_ENABLED and
1079 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO.
1080 * Add support for DTLS Connection ID as defined by RFC 9146, controlled by
1081 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID (enabled by default) and configured with
1082 mbedtls_ssl_set_cid().
1083 * Add a driver dispatch layer for raw key agreement, enabling alternative
1084 implementations of raw key agreement through the key_agreement driver
1085 entry point. This entry point is specified in the proposed PSA driver
1086 interface, but had not yet been implemented.
1087 * Add an ad-hoc key derivation function handling EC J-PAKE to PMS
1088 calculation that can be used to derive the session secret in TLS 1.2,
1089 as described in draft-cragie-tls-ecjpake-01. This can be achieved by
1090 using PSA_ALG_TLS12_ECJPAKE_TO_PMS as the key derivation algorithm.
1091
1092Security
1093 * Fix potential heap buffer overread and overwrite in DTLS if
1094 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID is enabled and
1095 MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_IN_LEN_MAX > 2 * MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_OUT_LEN_MAX.
1096 * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough information
1097 about memory accesses (typically, an untrusted operating system attacking
1098 a secure enclave) could recover an RSA private key after observing the
1099 victim performing a single private-key operation if the window size used
1100 for the exponentiation was 3 or smaller. Found and reported by Zili KOU,
1101 Wenjian HE, Sharad Sinha, and Wei ZHANG. See "Cache Side-channel Attacks
1102 and Defenses of the Sliding Window Algorithm in TEEs" - Design, Automation
1103 and Test in Europe 2023.
1104
1105Bugfix
1106 * Refactor mbedtls_aes_context to support shallow-copying. Fixes #2147.
1107 * Fix an issue with in-tree CMake builds in releases with GEN_FILES
1108 turned off: if a shipped file was missing from the working directory,
1109 it could be turned into a symbolic link to itself.
1110 * Fix a long-standing build failure when building x86 PIC code with old
1111 gcc (4.x). The code will be slower, but will compile. We do however
1112 recommend upgrading to a more recent compiler instead. Fixes #1910.
1113 * Fix support for little-endian Microblaze when MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM is defined.
1114 Contributed by Kazuyuki Kimura to fix #2020.
1115 * Use double quotes to include private header file psa_crypto_cipher.h.
1116 Fixes 'file not found with <angled> include' error
1117 when building with Xcode.
1118 * Fix handling of broken symlinks when loading certificates using
1119 mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path(). Instead of returning an error as soon as a
1120 broken link is encountered, skip the broken link and continue parsing
1121 other certificate files. Contributed by Eduardo Silva in #2602.
1122 * Fix an interoperability failure between an Mbed TLS client with both
1123 TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 support, and a TLS 1.2 server that supports
1124 rsa_pss_rsae_* signature algorithms. This failed because Mbed TLS
1125 advertised support for PSS in both TLS 1.2 and 1.3, but only
1126 actually supported PSS in TLS 1.3.
1127 * Fix a compilation error when using CMake with an IAR toolchain.
1128 Fixes #5964.
1129 * Fix a build error due to a missing prototype warning when
1130 MBEDTLS_DEPRECATED_REMOVED is enabled.
1131 * Fix mbedtls_ctr_drbg_free() on an initialized but unseeded context. When
1132 MBEDTLS_AES_ALT is enabled, it could call mbedtls_aes_free() on an
1133 uninitialized context.
1134 * Fix a build issue on Windows using CMake where the source and build
1135 directories could not be on different drives. Fixes #5751.
1136 * Fix bugs and missing dependencies when building and testing
1137 configurations with only one encryption type enabled in TLS 1.2.
1138 * Provide the missing definition of mbedtls_setbuf() in some configurations
1139 with MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_C disabled. Fixes #6118, #6196.
1140 * Fix compilation errors when trying to build with
1141 PSA drivers for AEAD (GCM, CCM, Chacha20-Poly1305).
1142 * Fix memory leak in ssl_parse_certificate_request() caused by
1143 mbedtls_x509_get_name() not freeing allocated objects in case of error.
1144 Change mbedtls_x509_get_name() to clean up allocated objects on error.
1145 * Fix build failure with MBEDTLS_RSA_C and MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C but not
1146 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO or MBEDTLS_PK_WRITE_C. Fixes #6408.
1147 * Fix build failure with MBEDTLS_RSA_C and MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C but not
1148 MBEDTLS_PK_PARSE_C. Fixes #6409.
1149 * Fix ECDSA verification, where it was not always validating the
1150 public key. This bug meant that it was possible to verify a
1151 signature with an invalid public key, in some cases. Reported by
1152 Guido Vranken using Cryptofuzz in #4420.
1153 * Fix a possible null pointer dereference if a memory allocation fails
1154 in TLS PRF code. Reported by Michael Madsen in #6516.
1155 * Fix TLS 1.3 session resumption. Fixes #6488.
1156 * Add a configuration check to exclude optional client authentication
1157 in TLS 1.3 (where it is forbidden).
1158 * Fix a bug in which mbedtls_x509_crt_info() would produce non-printable
1159 bytes when parsing certificates containing a binary RFC 4108
1160 HardwareModuleName as a Subject Alternative Name extension. Hardware
1161 serial numbers are now rendered in hex format. Fixes #6262.
1162 * Fix bug in error reporting in dh_genprime.c where upon failure,
1163 the error code returned by mbedtls_mpi_write_file() is overwritten
1164 and therefore not printed.
1165 * In the bignum module, operations of the form (-A) - (+A) or (-A) - (-A)
1166 with A > 0 created an unintended representation of the value 0 which was
1167 not processed correctly by some bignum operations. Fix this. This had no
1168 consequence on cryptography code, but might affect applications that call
1169 bignum directly and use negative numbers.
1170 * Fix a bug whereby the list of signature algorithms sent as part of
1171 the TLS 1.2 server certificate request would get corrupted, meaning the
1172 first algorithm would not get sent and an entry consisting of two random
1173 bytes would be sent instead. Found by Serban Bejan and Dudek Sebastian.
1174 * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) of
1175 mbedtls_mpi_add_mpi(), mbedtls_mpi_add_abs() and mbedtls_mpi_add_int()
1176 when both operands are 0 and the left operand is represented with 0 limbs.
1177 * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) when some bignum
1178 functions receive the most negative value of mbedtls_mpi_sint. Credit
1179 to OSS-Fuzz. Fixes #6597.
1180 * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) in PSA ECB
1181 encryption and decryption.
1182 * Move some SSL-specific code out of libmbedcrypto where it had been placed
1183 accidentally.
1184 * Fix a build error when compiling the bignum module for some Arm platforms.
1185 Fixes #6089, #6124, #6217.
1186
1187Changes
1188 * Add the ability to query PSA_WANT_xxx macros to query_compile_time_config.
1189 * Calling AEAD tag-specific functions for non-AEAD algorithms (which
1190 should not be done - they are documented for use only by AES-GCM and
1191 ChaCha20+Poly1305) now returns MBEDTLS_ERR_CIPHER_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE
1192 instead of success (0).

Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001200
1201Default behavior changes
1202 * mbedtls_cipher_set_iv will now fail with ChaCha20 and ChaCha20+Poly1305
1203 for IV lengths other than 12. The library was silently overwriting this
1204 length with 12, but did not inform the caller about it. Fixes #4301.
1205
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001206Requirement changes
1207 * The library will no longer compile out of the box on a platform without
1208 setbuf(). If your platform does not have setbuf(), you can configure an
1209 alternative function by enabling MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETBUF_ALT or
1210 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETBUF_MACRO.
1211
1212New deprecations
1213 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version() and
1214 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version() in favor of
1215 mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_tls_version() and
1216 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_tls_version().
1217 * Deprecate mbedtls_cipher_setup_psa(). Use psa_aead_xxx() or
1218 psa_cipher_xxx() directly instead.
1219 * Secure element drivers enabled by MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C are deprecated.
1220 This was intended as an experimental feature, but had not been explicitly
1221 documented as such. Use opaque drivers with the interface enabled by
1222 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVERS instead.
1223 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_hashes() in favor of the more generic
1224 mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_algs(). Signature algorithms for the TLS 1.2 and
1225 TLS 1.3 handshake should now be configured with
1226 mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_algs().
1227
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001228Features
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001229 * Add accessor to obtain ciphersuite id from ssl context.
1230 * Add accessors to get members from ciphersuite info.
1231 * Add mbedtls_ssl_ticket_rotate() for external ticket rotation.
1232 * Add accessor to get the raw buffer pointer from a PEM context.
1233 * The structures mbedtls_ssl_config and mbedtls_ssl_context now store
1234 a piece of user data which is reserved for the application. The user
1235 data can be either a pointer or an integer.
1236 * Add an accessor function to get the configuration associated with
1237 an SSL context.
1238 * Add a function to access the protocol version from an SSL context in a
1239 form that's easy to compare. Fixes #5407.
1240 * Add function mbedtls_md_info_from_ctx() to recall the message digest
1241 information that was used to set up a message digest context.
1242 * Add ALPN support in TLS 1.3 clients.
1243 * Add server certificate selection callback near end of Client Hello.
1244 Register callback with mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_cb().
1245 * Provide mechanism to reset handshake cert list by calling
1246 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_own_cert() with NULL value for own_cert param.
1247 * Add accessor mbedtls_ssl_get_hs_sni() to retrieve SNI from within
1248 cert callback (mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_cb()) during handshake.
1249 * The X.509 module now uses PSA hash acceleration if present.
1250 * Add support for psa crypto key derivation for elliptic curve
1251 keys. Fixes #3260.
1252 * Add function mbedtls_timing_get_final_delay() to access the private
1253 final delay field in an mbedtls_timing_delay_context, as requested in
1254 #5183.
1255 * Add mbedtls_pk_sign_ext() which allows generating RSA-PSS signatures when
1256 PSA Crypto is enabled.
1257 * Add function mbedtls_ecp_export() to export ECP key pair parameters.
1258 Fixes #4838.
1259 * Add function mbedtls_ssl_is_handshake_over() to enable querying if the SSL
1260 Handshake has completed or not, and thus whether to continue calling
1261 mbedtls_ssl_handshake_step(), requested in #4383.
1262 * Add the function mbedtls_ssl_get_own_cid() to access our own connection id
1263 within mbedtls_ssl_context, as requested in #5184.
1264 * Introduce mbedtls_ssl_hs_cb_t typedef for use with
1265 mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_cb() and perhaps future callbacks
1266 during TLS handshake.
1267 * Add functions mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_tls_version() and
1268 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_tls_version() that use a single value to specify
1269 the protocol version.
1270 * Extend the existing PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS() algorithm to support
1271 mixed-PSK. Add an optional input PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_OTHER_SECRET
1272 holding the other secret.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001273 * When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is enabled, you may list the PSA crypto
1274 feature requirements in the file named by the new macro
1275 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG_FILE instead of the default psa/crypto_config.h.
1276 Furthermore you may name an additional file to include after the main
1277 file with the macro MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_USER_CONFIG_FILE.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001278 * Add the function mbedtls_x509_crt_has_ext_type() to access the ext types
1279 field within mbedtls_x509_crt context, as requested in #5585.
1280 * Add HKDF-Expand and HKDF-Extract as separate algorithms in the PSA API.
1281 * Add support for the ARMv8 SHA-2 acceleration instructions when building
1282 for Aarch64.
1283 * Add support for authentication of TLS 1.3 clients by TLS 1.3 servers.
1284 * Add support for server HelloRetryRequest message. The TLS 1.3 client is
1285 now capable of negotiating another shared secret if the one sent in its
1286 first ClientHello was not suitable to the server.
1287 * Add support for client-side TLS version negotiation. If both TLS 1.2 and
1288 TLS 1.3 protocols are enabled in the build of Mbed TLS, the TLS client now
1289 negotiates TLS 1.3 or TLS 1.2 with TLS servers.
1290 * Enable building of Mbed TLS with TLS 1.3 protocol support but without TLS
1291 1.2 protocol support.
1292 * Mbed TLS provides an implementation of a TLS 1.3 server (ephemeral key
1293 establishment only). See docs/architecture/tls13-support.md for a
1294 description of the support. The MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3 and
1295 MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_C configuration options control this.
1296 * Add accessors to configure DN hints for certificate request:
1297 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dn_hints() and mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_dn_hints()
1298 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO, which previously
1299 affected only a limited subset of crypto operations in TLS, X.509 and PK,
1300 now causes most of them to be done using PSA Crypto; see
1301 docs/use-psa-crypto.md for the list of exceptions.
1302 * The function mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque() now supports RSA key pairs as well.
1303 Opaque keys can now be used everywhere a private key is expected in the
1304 TLS and X.509 modules.
1305 * Opaque pre-shared keys for TLS, provisioned with
1306 mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk_opaque() or mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk_opaque(), which
1307 previously only worked for "pure" PSK key exchange, now can also be used
1308 for the "mixed" PSK key exchanges as well: ECDHE-PSK, DHE-PSK, RSA-PSK.
1309 * cmake now detects if it is being built as a sub-project, and in that case
1310 disables the target export/installation and package configuration.
1311 * Make USE_PSA_CRYPTO compatible with KEY_ID_ENCODES_OWNER. Fixes #5259.
1312 * Add example programs cipher_aead_demo.c, md_hmac_demo.c, aead_demo.c
1313 and hmac_demo.c, which use PSA and the md/cipher interfaces side
1314 by side in order to illustrate how the operation is performed in PSA.
1315 Addresses #5208.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001316
1317Security
1318 * Zeroize dynamically-allocated buffers used by the PSA Crypto key storage
1319 module before freeing them. These buffers contain secret key material, and
1320 could thus potentially leak the key through freed heap.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001321 * Fix potential memory leak inside mbedtls_ssl_cache_set() with
1322 an invalid session id length.
1323 * Add the platform function mbedtls_setbuf() to allow buffering to be
1324 disabled on stdio files, to stop secrets loaded from said files being
1325 potentially left in memory after file operations. Reported by
1326 Glenn Strauss.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001327 * Fix a potential heap buffer overread in TLS 1.2 server-side when
1328 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled, an opaque key (created with
1329 mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque()) is provisioned, and a static ECDH ciphersuite
1330 is selected. This may result in an application crash or potentially an
1331 information leak.
1332 * Fix a buffer overread in DTLS ClientHello parsing in servers with
1333 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE enabled. An unauthenticated client
1334 or a man-in-the-middle could cause a DTLS server to read up to 255 bytes
1335 after the end of the SSL input buffer. The buffer overread only happens
1336 when MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN is less than a threshold that depends on
1337 the exact configuration: 258 bytes if using mbedtls_ssl_cookie_check(),
1338 and possibly up to 571 bytes with a custom cookie check function.
1339 Reported by the Cybeats PSI Team.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001340 * Fix a buffer overread in TLS 1.3 Certificate parsing. An unauthenticated
1341 client or server could cause an MbedTLS server or client to overread up
1342 to 64 kBytes of data and potentially overread the input buffer by that
1343 amount minus the size of the input buffer. As overread data undergoes
1344 various checks, the likelihood of reaching the boundary of the input
1345 buffer is rather small but increases as its size
1346 MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN decreases.
1347 * Fix check of certificate key usage in TLS 1.3. The usage of the public key
1348 provided by a client or server certificate for authentication was not
1349 checked properly when validating the certificate. This could cause a
1350 client or server to be able to authenticate itself through a certificate
1351 to an Mbed TLS TLS 1.3 server or client while it does not own a proper
1352 certificate to do so.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001353
1354Bugfix
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001355 * Declare or use PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG following the general
1356 pattern for PSA_WANT_xxx symbols. Previously you had to specify
1357 PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM for PSA_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001358 * Fix a memory leak if mbedtls_ssl_config_defaults() is called twice.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001359 * Fixed swap of client and server random bytes when exporting them alongside
1360 TLS 1.3 handshake and application traffic secret.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001361 * Fix several bugs (warnings, compiler and linker errors, test failures)
1362 in reduced configurations when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
1363 * Fix a bug in (D)TLS curve negotiation: when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO was
1364 enabled and an ECDHE-ECDSA or ECDHE-RSA key exchange was used, the
1365 client would fail to check that the curve selected by the server for
1366 ECDHE was indeed one that was offered. As a result, the client would
1367 accept any curve that it supported, even if that curve was not allowed
1368 according to its configuration. Fixes #5291.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001369 * The TLS 1.3 implementation is now compatible with the
1370 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO configuration option.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001371 * Fix unit tests that used 0 as the file UID. This failed on some
1372 implementations of PSA ITS. Fixes #3838.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001373 * Fix mbedtls_ssl_get_version() not reporting TLSv1.3. Fixes #5406.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001374 * Fix API violation in mbedtls_md_process() test by adding a call to
1375 mbedtls_md_starts(). Fixes #2227.
1376 * Fix compile errors when MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME is not defined. Add tests
1377 to catch bad uses of time.h.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001378 * Fix a race condition in out-of-source builds with CMake when generated data
1379 files are already present. Fixes #5374.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001380 * Fix the library search path when building a shared library with CMake
1381 on Windows.
1382 * Fix bug in the alert sending function mbedtls_ssl_send_alert_message()
1383 potentially leading to corrupted alert messages being sent in case
1384 the function needs to be re-called after initially returning
1385 MBEDTLS_SSL_WANT_WRITE. Fixes #1916.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001386 * In configurations with MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID enabled but not
1387 MBEDTLS_DEBUG_C, DTLS handshakes using CID would crash due to a null
1388 pointer dereference. Fix this. Fixes #3998.
1389 The fix was released, but not announced, in Mbed TLS 3.1.0.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001390 * Fix incorrect documentation of mbedtls_x509_crt_profile. The previous
1391 documentation stated that the `allowed_pks` field applies to signatures
1392 only, but in fact it does apply to the public key type of the end entity
1393 certificate, too. Fixes #1992.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001394 * Fix undefined behavior in mbedtls_asn1_find_named_data(), where val is
1395 not NULL and val_len is zero.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001396 * Fix compilation error with mingw32. Fixed by Cameron Cawley in #4211.
1397 * Fix compilation error when using C++ Builder on Windows. Reported by
1398 Miroslav Mastny in #4015.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001399 * psa_raw_key_agreement() now returns PSA_ERROR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL when
1400 applicable. Fixes #5735.
1401 * Fix a bug in the x25519 example program where the removal of
1402 MBEDTLS_ECDH_LEGACY_CONTEXT caused the program not to run. Fixes #4901 and
1403 #3191.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001404 * Fix a TLS 1.3 handshake failure when the peer Finished message has not
1405 been received yet when we first try to fetch it.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001406 * Encode X.509 dates before 1/1/2000 as UTCTime rather than
1407 GeneralizedTime. Fixes #5465.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001408 * Add mbedtls_x509_dn_get_next function to return the next relative DN in
1409 an X509 name, to allow walking the name list. Fixes #5431.
1410 * Fix order value of curve x448.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001411 * Fix string representation of DNs when outputting values containing commas
1412 and other special characters, conforming to RFC 1779. Fixes #769.
1413 * Silence a warning from GCC 12 in the selftest program. Fixes #5974.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001414 * Fix check_config.h to check that we have MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE
1415 when MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3 is specified, and make this and other
1416 dependencies explicit in the documentation. Fixes #5610.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001417 * Fix mbedtls_asn1_write_mpi() writing an incorrect encoding of 0.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001418 * Fix a TLS 1.3 handshake failure when the first attempt to send the client
1419 Finished message on the network cannot be satisfied. Fixes #5499.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001420 * Fix resource leaks in mbedtls_pk_parse_public_key() in low
1421 memory conditions.
1422 * Fix server connection identifier setting for outgoing encrypted records
1423 on DTLS 1.2 session resumption. After DTLS 1.2 session resumption with
1424 connection identifier, the Mbed TLS client now properly sends the server
1425 connection identifier in encrypted record headers. Fix #5872.
1426 * Fix a null pointer dereference when performing some operations on zero
1427 represented with 0 limbs (specifically mbedtls_mpi_mod_int() dividing
1428 by 2, and mbedtls_mpi_write_string() in base 2).
1429 * Fix record sizes larger than 16384 being sometimes accepted despite being
1430 non-compliant. This could not lead to a buffer overflow. In particular,
1431 application data size was already checked correctly.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001432 * Fix MBEDTLS_SVC_KEY_ID_GET_KEY_ID() and MBEDTLS_SVC_KEY_ID_GET_OWNER_ID()
1433 which have been broken, resulting in compilation errors, since Mbed TLS
1434 3.0.
1435 * Ensure that TLS 1.2 ciphersuite/certificate and key selection takes into
1436 account not just the type of the key (RSA vs EC) but also what it can
1437 actually do. Resolves #5831.
1438 * Fix CMake windows host detection, especially when cross compiling.
1439 * Fix an error in make where the absence of a generated file caused
1440 make to break on a clean checkout. Fixes #5340.
1441 * Work around an MSVC ARM64 compiler bug causing incorrect behaviour
1442 in mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod(). Reported by Tautvydas Žilys in #5467.
1443 * Removed the prompt to exit from all windows build programs, which was causing
1444 issues in CI/CD environments.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001445
1446Changes
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001447 * The file library/psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.c is now generated
1448 from a template. In the future, the generation will support
1449 driver descriptions. For the time being, to customize this file,
1450 see docs/proposed/psa-driver-wrappers-codegen-migration-guide.md
1451 * Return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT if the algorithm passed to one-shot
1452 AEAD functions is not an AEAD algorithm. This aligns them with the
1453 multipart functions, and the PSA Crypto API 1.1 specification.
1454 * In mbedtls_pk_parse_key(), if no password is provided, don't allocate a
1455 temporary variable on the heap. Suggested by Sergey Kanatov in #5304.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001456 * Assume source files are in UTF-8 when using MSVC with CMake.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001457 * Fix runtime library install location when building with CMake and MinGW.
1458 DLLs are now installed in the bin directory instead of lib.
1459 * cmake: Use GnuInstallDirs to customize install directories
1460 Replace custom LIB_INSTALL_DIR variable with standard CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR
1461 variable. For backward compatibility, set CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR if
1462 LIB_INSTALL_DIR is set.
1463 * Add a CMake option that enables static linking of the runtime library
1464 in Microsoft Visual C++ compiler. Contributed by Microplankton.
1465 * In CMake builds, add aliases for libraries so that the normal MbedTLS::*
1466 targets work when MbedTLS is built as a subdirectory. This allows the
1467 use of FetchContent, as requested in #5688.

1471API changes
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001472 * New error code for GCM: MBEDTLS_ERR_GCM_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL.
1473 Alternative GCM implementations are expected to verify
1474 the length of the provided output buffers and to return the
1475 MBEDTLS_ERR_GCM_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL in case the buffer length is too small.
1476 * You can configure groups for a TLS key exchange with the new function
1477 mbedtls_ssl_conf_groups(). It extends mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves().
1478 * Declare a number of structure fields as public: the fields of
1479 mbedtls_ecp_curve_info, the fields describing the result of ASN.1 and
1480 X.509 parsing, and finally the field fd of mbedtls_net_context on
1481 POSIX/Unix-like platforms.

1493 which had been unmaintained since 2018.
1494
1495Features
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001496 * Enable support for Curve448 via the PSA API. Contributed by
1497 Archana Madhavan in #4626. Fixes #3399 and #4249.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001498 * The identifier of the CID TLS extension can be configured by defining
1499 MBEDTLS_TLS_EXT_CID at compile time.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001500 * Implement the PSA multipart AEAD interface, currently supporting
1501 ChaChaPoly and GCM.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001502 * Warn if errors from certain functions are ignored. This is currently
1503 supported on GCC-like compilers and on MSVC and can be configured through
1504 the macro MBEDTLS_CHECK_RETURN. The warnings are always enabled
1505 (where supported) for critical functions where ignoring the return
1506 value is almost always a bug. Enable the new configuration option
1507 MBEDTLS_CHECK_RETURN_WARNING to get warnings for other functions. This
1508 is currently implemented in the AES, DES and md modules, and will be
1509 extended to other modules in the future.
1510 * Add missing PSA macros declared by PSA Crypto API 1.0.0:
1511 PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH, PSA_ALG_NONE, PSA_HASH_BLOCK_LENGTH, PSA_KEY_ID_NULL.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001512 * Add support for CCM*-no-tag cipher to the PSA.
1513 Currently only 13-byte long IV's are supported.
1514 For decryption a minimum of 16-byte long input is expected.
1515 These restrictions may be subject to change.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001516 * Add new API mbedtls_ct_memcmp for constant time buffer comparison.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001517 * Add functions to get the IV and block size from cipher_info structs.
1518 * Add functions to check if a cipher supports variable IV or key size.
1519 * Add the internal implementation of and support for CCM to the PSA multipart
1520 AEAD interface.
1521 * Mbed TLS provides a minimum viable implementation of the TLS 1.3
1522 protocol. See docs/architecture/tls13-support.md for the definition of
1523 the TLS 1.3 Minimum Viable Product (MVP). The MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3
1524 configuration option controls the enablement of the support. The APIs
1525 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version() and mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version() allow
1526 to select the 1.3 version of the protocol to establish a TLS connection.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001527 * Add PSA API definition for ARIA.
1528
1529Security
1530 * Zeroize several intermediate variables used to calculate the expected
1531 value when verifying a MAC or AEAD tag. This hardens the library in
1532 case the value leaks through a memory disclosure vulnerability. For
1533 example, a memory disclosure vulnerability could have allowed a
1534 man-in-the-middle to inject fake ciphertext into a DTLS connection.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001535 * In psa_aead_generate_nonce(), do not read back from the output buffer.
1536 This fixes a potential policy bypass or decryption oracle vulnerability
1537 if the output buffer is in memory that is shared with an untrusted
1538 application.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001539 * In psa_cipher_generate_iv() and psa_cipher_encrypt(), do not read back
1540 from the output buffer. This fixes a potential policy bypass or decryption
1541 oracle vulnerability if the output buffer is in memory that is shared with
1542 an untrusted application.
1543 * Fix a double-free that happened after mbedtls_ssl_set_session() or
1544 mbedtls_ssl_get_session() failed with MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_ALLOC_FAILED
1545 (out of memory). After that, calling mbedtls_ssl_session_free()
1546 and mbedtls_ssl_free() would cause an internal session buffer to
1547 be free()'d twice.
1548
1549Bugfix
1550 * Stop using reserved identifiers as local variables. Fixes #4630.
1551 * The GNU makefiles invoke python3 in preference to python except on Windows.
1552 The check was accidentally not performed when cross-compiling for Windows
1553 on Linux. Fix this. Fixes #4774.
1554 * Prevent divide by zero if either of PSA_CIPHER_ENCRYPT_OUTPUT_SIZE() or
1555 PSA_CIPHER_UPDATE_OUTPUT_SIZE() were called using an asymmetric key type.
1556 * Fix a parameter set but unused in psa_crypto_cipher.c. Fixes #4935.
1557 * Don't use the obsolete header path sys/fcntl.h in unit tests.
1558 These header files cause compilation errors in musl.
1559 Fixes #4969.
1560 * Fix missing constraints on x86_64 and aarch64 assembly code
1561 for bignum multiplication that broke some bignum operations with
1562 (at least) Clang 12.
1563 Fixes #4116, #4786, #4917, #4962.
1564 * Fix mbedtls_cipher_crypt: AES-ECB when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
1565 * Failures of alternative implementations of AES or DES single-block
1566 functions enabled with MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT_ALT, MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT_ALT,
1567 MBEDTLS_DES_CRYPT_ECB_ALT or MBEDTLS_DES3_CRYPT_ECB_ALT were ignored.
1568 This does not concern the implementation provided with Mbed TLS,
1569 where this function cannot fail, or full-module replacements with
1570 MBEDTLS_AES_ALT or MBEDTLS_DES_ALT. Reported by Armelle Duboc in #1092.
1571 * Some failures of HMAC operations were ignored. These failures could only
1572 happen with an alternative implementation of the underlying hash module.
1573 * Fix the error returned by psa_generate_key() for a public key. Fixes #4551.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001574 * Fix compile-time or run-time errors in PSA
1575 AEAD functions when ChachaPoly is disabled. Fixes #5065.
1576 * Remove PSA'a AEAD finish/verify output buffer limitation for GCM.
1577 The requirement of minimum 15 bytes for output buffer in
1578 psa_aead_finish() and psa_aead_verify() does not apply to the built-in
1579 implementation of GCM.
1580 * Move GCM's update output buffer length verification from PSA AEAD to
1581 the built-in implementation of the GCM.
1582 The requirement for output buffer size to be equal or greater then
1583 input buffer size is valid only for the built-in implementation of GCM.
1584 Alternative GCM implementations can process whole blocks only.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001585 * Fix the build of sample programs when neither MBEDTLS_ERROR_C nor
1586 MBEDTLS_ERROR_STRERROR_DUMMY is enabled.
1587 * Fix PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS verification accepting an arbitrary salt length.
1588 This algorithm now accepts only the same salt length for verification
1589 that it produces when signing, as documented. Use the new algorithm
1590 PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS_ANY_SALT to accept any salt length. Fixes #4946.
1591 * The existing predicate macro name PSA_ALG_IS_HASH_AND_SIGN is now reserved
1592 for algorithm values that fully encode the hashing step, as per the PSA
1593 Crypto API specification. This excludes PSA_ALG_RSA_PKCS1V15_SIGN_RAW and
1594 PSA_ALG_ECDSA_ANY. The new predicate macro PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH covers
1595 all algorithms that can be used with psa_{sign,verify}_hash(), including
1596 these two.
1597 * Fix issue in Makefile on Linux with SHARED=1, that caused shared libraries
1598 not to list other shared libraries they need.
1599 * Fix a bug in mbedtls_gcm_starts() when the bit length of the iv
1600 exceeds 2^32. Fixes #4884.
1601 * Fix an uninitialized variable warning in test_suite_ssl.function with GCC
1602 version 11.
1603 * Fix the build when no SHA2 module is included. Fixes #4930.
1604 * Fix the build when only the bignum module is included. Fixes #4929.
1605 * Fix a potential invalid pointer dereference and infinite loop bugs in
1606 pkcs12 functions when the password is empty. Fix the documentation to
1607 better describe the inputs to these functions and their possible values.
1608 Fixes #5136.
1609 * The key usage flags PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_MESSAGE now allows the MAC
1610 operations psa_mac_compute() and psa_mac_sign_setup().
1611 * The key usage flags PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_MESSAGE now allows the MAC
1612 operations psa_mac_verify() and psa_mac_verify_setup().
1613
1614Changes
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001615 * Explicitly mark the fields mbedtls_ssl_session.exported and
1616 mbedtls_ssl_config.respect_cli_pref as private. This was an
1617 oversight during the run-up to the release of Mbed TLS 3.0.
1618 The fields were never intended to be public.
1619 * Implement multi-part CCM API.
1620 The multi-part functions: mbedtls_ccm_starts(), mbedtls_ccm_set_lengths(),
1621 mbedtls_ccm_update_ad(), mbedtls_ccm_update(), mbedtls_ccm_finish()
1622 were introduced in mbedTLS 3.0 release, however their implementation was
1623 postponed until now.
1624 Implemented functions support chunked data input for both CCM and CCM*
1625 algorithms.
1626 * Remove MBEDTLS_SSL_EXPORT_KEYS, making it always on and increasing the
1627 code size by about 80B on an M0 build. This option only gated an ability
1628 to set a callback, but was deemed unnecessary as it was yet another define
1629 to remember when writing tests, or test configurations. Fixes #4653.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001630 * Improve the performance of base64 constant-flow code. The result is still
1631 slower than the original non-constant-flow implementation, but much faster
1632 than the previous constant-flow implementation. Fixes #4814.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001633 * Ignore plaintext/ciphertext lengths for CCM*-no-tag operations.
1634 For CCM* encryption/decryption without authentication, input
1635 length will be ignored.
Jerome Forissier039e02d2022-08-09 17:10:15 +02001636 * Indicate in the error returned if the nonce length used with
1637 ChaCha20-Poly1305 is invalid, and not just unsupported.
1638 * The mbedcrypto library includes a new source code module constant_time.c,
1639 containing various functions meant to resist timing side channel attacks.
1640 This module does not have a separate configuration option, and functions
1641 from this module will be included in the build as required. Currently
1642 most of the interface of this module is private and may change at any
1643 time.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001644 * The generated configuration-independent files are now automatically
1645 generated by the CMake build system on Unix-like systems. This is not
1646 yet supported when cross-compiling.
Jens Wiklander817466c2018-05-22 13:49:31 +02001647

Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001649
1650API changes
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001651 * Remove HAVEGE module.
1652 The design of HAVEGE makes it unsuitable for microcontrollers. Platforms
1653 with a more complex CPU usually have an operating system interface that
1654 provides better randomness. Instead of HAVEGE, declare OS or hardware RNG
1655 interfaces with mbedtls_entropy_add_source() and/or use an entropy seed
1656 file created securely during device provisioning. See
1657 https://mbed-tls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kb/how-to/add-entropy-sources-to-entropy-pool/ for
1658 more information.
1659 * Add missing const attributes to API functions.
1660 * Remove helpers for the transition from Mbed TLS 1.3 to Mbed TLS 2.0: the
1661 header compat-1.3.h and the script rename.pl.
1662 * Remove certs module from the API.
1663 Transfer keys and certificates embedded in the library to the test
1664 component. This contributes to minimizing library API and discourages
1665 users from using unsafe keys in production.
1666 * Move alt helpers and definitions.
1667 Various helpers and definitions available for use in alt implementations
1668 have been moved out of the include/ directory and into the library/
1669 directory. The files concerned are ecp_internal.h and rsa_internal.h
1670 which have also been renamed to ecp_internal_alt.h and rsa_alt_helpers.h
1671 respectively.
1672 * Move internal headers.
1673 Header files that were only meant for the library's internal use and
1674 were not meant to be used in application code have been moved out of
1675 the include/ directory. The headers concerned are bn_mul.h, aesni.h,
1676 padlock.h, entropy_poll.h and *_internal.h.
1677 * Drop support for parsing SSLv2 ClientHello
1678 (MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_SUPPORT_SSLV2_CLIENT_HELLO).
1679 * Drop support for SSLv3 (MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_SSL3).
1680 * Drop support for TLS record-level compression (MBEDTLS_ZLIB_SUPPORT).
1681 * Drop support for RC4 TLS ciphersuites.
1682 * Drop support for single-DES ciphersuites.
1683 * Drop support for MBEDTLS_SSL_HW_RECORD_ACCEL.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001684 * Update AEAD output size macros to bring them in line with the PSA Crypto
1685 API version 1.0 spec. This version of the spec parameterizes them on the
1686 key type used, as well as the key bit-size in the case of
1687 PSA_AEAD_TAG_LENGTH.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001688 * Add configuration option MBEDTLS_X509_REMOVE_INFO which
1689 removes the mbedtls_x509_*_info(), mbedtls_debug_print_crt()
1690 as well as other functions and constants only used by
1691 those functions. This reduces the code footprint by
1692 several kB.
1693 * Remove SSL error codes `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CERTIFICATE_REQUIRED`
1694 and `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_INVALID_VERIFY_HASH` which are never
1695 returned from the public SSL API.
1696 * Remove `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CERTIFICATE_TOO_LARGE` and return
1697 `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL` instead.
1698 * The output parameter of mbedtls_sha512_finish, mbedtls_sha512,
1699 mbedtls_sha256_finish and mbedtls_sha256 now has a pointer type
1700 rather than array type. This removes spurious warnings in some compilers
1701 when outputting a SHA-384 or SHA-224 hash into a buffer of exactly
1702 the hash size.
1703 * Remove the MBEDTLS_TEST_NULL_ENTROPY config option. Fixes #4388.
1704 * The interface of the GCM module has changed to remove restrictions on
1705 how the input to multipart operations is broken down. mbedtls_gcm_finish()
1706 now takes extra output parameters for the last partial output block.
1707 mbedtls_gcm_update() now takes extra parameters for the output length.
1708 The software implementation always produces the full output at each
1709 call to mbedtls_gcm_update(), but alternative implementations activated
1710 by MBEDTLS_GCM_ALT may delay partial blocks to the next call to
1711 mbedtls_gcm_update() or mbedtls_gcm_finish(). Furthermore, applications
1712 no longer pass the associated data to mbedtls_gcm_starts(), but to the
1713 new function mbedtls_gcm_update_ad().
1714 These changes are backward compatible for users of the cipher API.
1715 * Replace MBEDTLS_SHA512_NO_SHA384 config option with MBEDTLS_SHA384_C.
1716 This separates config option enabling the SHA384 algorithm from option
1717 enabling the SHA512 algorithm. Fixes #4034.
1718 * Introduce MBEDTLS_SHA224_C.
1719 This separates config option enabling the SHA224 algorithm from option
1720 enabling SHA256.
1721 * The getter and setter API of the SSL session cache (used for
1722 session-ID based session resumption) has changed to that of
1723 a key-value store with keys being session IDs and values
1724 being opaque instances of `mbedtls_ssl_session`.
1725 * Remove the mode parameter from RSA operation functions. Signature and
1726 decryption functions now always use the private key and verification and
1727 encryption use the public key. Verification functions also no longer have
1728 RNG parameters.
1729 * Modify semantics of `mbedtls_ssl_conf_[opaque_]psk()`:
1730 In Mbed TLS 2.X, the API prescribes that later calls overwrite
1731 the effect of earlier calls. In Mbed TLS 3.0, calling
1732 `mbedtls_ssl_conf_[opaque_]psk()` more than once will fail,
1733 leaving the PSK that was configured first intact.
1734 Support for more than one PSK may be added in 3.X.
1735 * The function mbedtls_x509write_csr_set_extension() has an extra parameter
1736 which allows to mark an extension as critical. Fixes #4055.
1737 * For multi-part AEAD operations with the cipher module, calling
1738 mbedtls_cipher_finish() is now mandatory. Previously the documentation
1739 was unclear on this point, and this function happened to never do
1740 anything with the currently implemented AEADs, so in practice it was
1741 possible to skip calling it, which is no longer supported.
1742 * The option MBEDTLS_ECP_FIXED_POINT_OPTIM use pre-computed comb tables
1743 instead of computing tables in runtime. Thus, this option now increase
1744 code size, and it does not increase RAM usage in runtime anymore.
1745 * Remove the SSL APIs mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() and
1746 mbedtls_ssl_get_output_max_frag_len(), and add a new API
1747 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_in_record_payload(), complementing the existing
1748 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_out_record_payload().
1749 Uses of mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() and
1750 mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() should be replaced by
1751 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_in_record_payload() and
1752 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_out_record_payload(), respectively.
1753 * mbedtls_rsa_init() now always selects the PKCS#1v1.5 encoding for an RSA
1754 key. To use an RSA key with PSS or OAEP, call mbedtls_rsa_set_padding()
1755 after initializing the context. mbedtls_rsa_set_padding() now returns an
1756 error if its parameters are invalid.
1757 * Replace MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_RESPECT_CLIENT_PREFERENCE by a runtime
1758 configuration function mbedtls_ssl_conf_preference_order(). Fixes #4398.
1759 * Instead of accessing the len field of a DHM context, which is no longer
1760 supported, use the new function mbedtls_dhm_get_len() .
1761 * In modules that implement cryptographic hash functions, many functions
1762 mbedtls_xxx() now return int instead of void, and the corresponding
1763 function mbedtls_xxx_ret() which was identical except for returning int
1764 has been removed. This also concerns mbedtls_xxx_drbg_update(). See the
1765 migration guide for more information. Fixes #4212.
1766 * For all functions that take a random number generator (RNG) as a
1767 parameter, this parameter is now mandatory (that is, NULL is not an
1768 acceptable value). Functions which previously accepted NULL and now
1769 reject it are: the X.509 CRT and CSR writing functions; the PK and RSA
1770 sign and decrypt function; mbedtls_rsa_private(); the functions
1771 in DHM and ECDH that compute the shared secret; the scalar multiplication
1772 functions in ECP.
1773 * The following functions now require an RNG parameter:
1774 mbedtls_ecp_check_pub_priv(), mbedtls_pk_check_pair(),
1775 mbedtls_pk_parse_key(), mbedtls_pk_parse_keyfile().
1776 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_export_keys_ext_cb() and
1777 mbedtls_ssl_conf_export_keys_cb() have been removed and
1778 replaced by a new API mbedtls_ssl_set_export_keys_cb().
1779 Raw keys and IVs are no longer passed to the callback.
1780 Further, callbacks now receive an additional parameter
1781 indicating the type of secret that's being exported,
1782 paving the way for the larger number of secrets
1783 in TLS 1.3. Finally, the key export callback and
1784 context are now connection-specific.
1785 * Signature functions in the RSA and PK modules now require the hash
1786 length parameter to be the size of the hash input. For RSA signatures
1787 other than raw PKCS#1 v1.5, this must match the output size of the
1788 specified hash algorithm.
1789 * The functions mbedtls_pk_sign(), mbedtls_pk_sign_restartable(),
1790 mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature() and
1791 mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature_restartable() now take an extra parameter
1792 indicating the size of the output buffer for the signature.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001793 * Implement one-shot cipher functions, psa_cipher_encrypt and
1794 psa_cipher_decrypt, according to the PSA Crypto API 1.0.0
1795 specification.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001796 * Direct access to fields of structures declared in public headers is no
1797 longer supported except for fields that are documented public. Use accessor
1798 functions instead. For more information, see the migration guide entry
1799 "Most structure fields are now private".
1800 * mbedtls_ssl_get_session_pointer() has been removed, and
1801 mbedtls_ssl_{set,get}_session() may now only be called once for any given
1802 SSL context.
1803
1804Default behavior changes
1805 * Enable by default the functionalities which have no reason to be disabled.
1806 They are: ARIA block cipher, CMAC mode, elliptic curve J-PAKE library and
1807 Key Wrapping mode as defined in NIST SP 800-38F. Fixes #4036.
1808 * Some default policies for X.509 certificate verification and TLS have
1809 changed: curves and hashes weaker than 255 bits are no longer accepted
1810 by default. The default order in TLS now favors faster curves over larger
1811 curves.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001812
1813Requirement changes
1814 * The library now uses the %zu format specifier with the printf() family of
1815 functions, so requires a toolchain that supports it. This change does not
1816 affect the maintained LTS branches, so when contributing changes please
1817 bear this in mind and do not add them to backported code.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001818 * If you build the development version of Mbed TLS, rather than an official
1819 release, some configuration-independent files are now generated at build
1820 time rather than checked into source control. This includes some library
1821 source files as well as the Visual Studio solution. Perl, Python 3 and a
1822 C compiler for the host platform are required. See Generated source files
1823 in the development branch in README.md for more information.
1824 * Refresh the minimum supported versions of tools to build the
1825 library. CMake versions older than 3.10.2 and Python older
1826 than 3.6 are no longer supported.
1827
1828Removals
1829 * Remove the MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_CERTIFICATES
1830 compile-time option, which was off by default. Users should not trust
1831 certificates signed with SHA-1 due to the known attacks against SHA-1.
1832 If needed, SHA-1 certificates can still be verified by using a custom
1833 verification profile.
1834 * Removed deprecated things in psa/crypto_compat.h. Fixes #4284
1835 * Removed deprecated functions from hashing modules. Fixes #4280.
1836 * Remove PKCS#11 library wrapper. PKCS#11 has limited functionality,
1837 lacks automated tests and has scarce documentation. Also, PSA Crypto
1838 provides a more flexible private key management.
1839 More details on PCKS#11 wrapper removal can be found in the mailing list
1840 https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/pipermail/mbed-tls/2020-April/000024.html
1841 * Remove deprecated error codes. Fix #4283
1842 * Remove MBEDTLS_ENABLE_WEAK_CIPHERSUITES configuration option. Fixes #4416.
1843 * Remove the MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_CERTIFICATES
1844 compile-time option. This option has been inactive for a long time.
1845 Please use the `lifetime` parameter of `mbedtls_ssl_ticket_setup()`
1846 instead.
1847 * Remove the following deprecated functions and constants of hex-encoded
1848 primes based on RFC 5114 and RFC 3526 from library code and tests:
1849 mbedtls_aes_encrypt(), mbedtls_aes_decrypt(), mbedtls_mpi_is_prime(),
1850 mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt(), mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt(),
1851 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update(), mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update(),
1852 mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature_det(), mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det(),
1853 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param(), mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len(),
1854 MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC5114_MODP_2048_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC5114_MODP_2048_G,
1855 MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_G,
1856 MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_3072_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_3072_G,
1857 MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_4096_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_4096_G.
1858 Remove the deprecated file: include/mbedtls/net.h. Fixes #4282.
1859 * Remove MBEDTLS_SSL_MAX_CONTENT_LEN configuration option, since
1860 MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN and MBEDTLS_SSL_OUT_CONTENT_LEN replace
1861 it. Fixes #4362.
1862 * Remove the MBEDTLS_SSL_RECORD_CHECKING option and enable by default its
1863 previous action. Fixes #4361.
1864 * Remove support for TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 and DTLS 1.0, as well as support for
1865 CBC record splitting, fallback SCSV, and the ability to configure
1866 ciphersuites per version, which are no longer relevant. This removes the
1867 configuration options MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1,
1868 MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_1, MBEDTLS_SSL_CBC_RECORD_SPLITTING and
1869 MBEDTLS_SSL_FALLBACK_SCSV as well as the functions
1870 mbedtls_ssl_conf_cbc_record_splitting(),
1871 mbedtls_ssl_get_key_exchange_md_ssl_tls(), mbedtls_ssl_conf_fallback(),
1872 and mbedtls_ssl_conf_ciphersuites_for_version(). Fixes #4286.
1873 * The RSA module no longer supports private-key operations with the public
1874 key and vice versa.
1875 * Remove the MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_BADMAC_LIMIT config.h option. Fixes #4403.
1876 * Remove all the 3DES ciphersuites:
1877 MBEDTLS_TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1878 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1879 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1880 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDHE_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1881 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1882 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1883 MBEDTLS_TLS_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1884 MBEDTLS_TLS_RSA_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1885 MBEDTLS_TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA. Remove the
1886 MBEDTLS_REMOVE_3DES_CIPHERSUITES option which is no longer relevant.
1887 Fixes #4367.
1888 * Remove the MBEDTLS_X509_ALLOW_EXTENSIONS_NON_V3 option and let the code
1889 behave as if it was always disabled. Fixes #4386.
1890 * Remove MBEDTLS_ECDH_LEGACY_CONTEXT config option since this was purely for
1891 backward compatibility which is no longer supported. Addresses #4404.
1892 * Remove the following macros: MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS,
1893 MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS_ASSERT, MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED,
1894 MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED_ALT. Fixes #4313.
1895 * Remove the MBEDTLS_X509_ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION config.h
1896 option. The mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() is the way to go for
1897 migration path. Fixes #4378.
1898 * Remove the MBEDTLS_X509_CHECK_KEY_USAGE and
1899 MBEDTLS_X509_CHECK_EXTENDED_KEY_USAGE config.h options and let the code
1900 behave as if they were always enabled. Fixes #4405.
1901 * MBEDTLS_ECP_MAX_BITS is no longer a configuration option because it is
1902 now determined automatically based on supported curves.
1903 * Remove the following functions: mbedtls_timing_self_test(),
1904 mbedtls_hardclock_poll(), mbedtls_timing_hardclock() and
1905 mbedtls_set_alarm(). Fixes #4083.
1906 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_INTERNAL_RNG has been removed as
1907 it no longer had any effect.
1908 * Remove all support for MD2, MD4, RC4, Blowfish and XTEA. This removes the
1909 corresponding modules and all their APIs and related configuration
1910 options. Fixes #4084.
1911 * Remove MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC and also remove
1912 MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC_COMPAT config option. Users are better served by
1913 using a CCM-8 ciphersuite than a CBC ciphersuite with truncated HMAC.
1914 See issue #4341 for more details.
1915 * Remove the compile-time option
1916 MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_KEY_EXCHANGE.

1918Features
1919 * Add mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pss_sign_ext() function allowing to generate a
1920 signature with a specific salt length. This function allows to validate
1921 test cases provided in the NIST's CAVP test suite. Contributed by Cédric
1922 Meuter in PR #3183.
1923 * Added support for built-in driver keys through the PSA opaque crypto
1924 driver interface. Refer to the documentation of
1925 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_BUILTIN_KEYS for more information.
1926 * Implement psa_sign_message() and psa_verify_message().
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001927 * The multi-part GCM interface (mbedtls_gcm_update() or
1928 mbedtls_cipher_update()) no longer requires the size of partial inputs to
1929 be a multiple of 16.
1930 * The multi-part GCM interface now supports chunked associated data through
1931 multiple calls to mbedtls_gcm_update_ad().
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001932 * The new function mbedtls_mpi_random() generates a random value in a
1933 given range uniformly.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001934 * Alternative implementations of the AES, DHM, ECJPAKE, ECP, RSA and timing
1935 modules had undocumented constraints on their context types. These
1936 constraints have been relaxed.
1937 See docs/architecture/alternative-implementations.md for the remaining
1938 constraints.
1939 * The new functions mbedtls_dhm_get_len() and mbedtls_dhm_get_bitlen()
1940 query the size of the modulus in a Diffie-Hellman context.
1941 * The new function mbedtls_dhm_get_value() copy a field out of a
1942 Diffie-Hellman context.
1943 * Use the new function mbedtls_ecjpake_set_point_format() to select the
1944 point format for ECJPAKE instead of accessing the point_format field
1945 directly, which is no longer supported.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001946 * Implement psa_mac_compute() and psa_mac_verify() as defined in the
1947 PSA Cryptograpy API 1.0.0 specification.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001948
1949Security
1950 * Fix a bias in the generation of finite-field Diffie-Hellman-Merkle (DHM)
1951 private keys and of blinding values for DHM and elliptic curves (ECP)
1952 computations. Reported by FlorianF89 in #4245.
1953 * Fix a potential side channel vulnerability in ECDSA ephemeral key generation.
1954 An adversary who is capable of very precise timing measurements could
1955 learn partial information about the leading bits of the nonce used for the
1956 signature, allowing the recovery of the private key after observing a
1957 large number of signature operations. This completes a partial fix in
1958 Mbed TLS 2.20.0.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001959 * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough information
1960 about memory accesses (typically, an untrusted operating system attacking
1961 a secure enclave) could recover an RSA private key after observing the
1962 victim performing a single private-key operation. Found and reported by
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001963 Zili KOU, Wenjian HE, Sharad Sinha, and Wei ZHANG.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001964 * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough timing
1965 information (typically, a co-located process) could recover a Curve25519
1966 or Curve448 static ECDH key after inputting a chosen public key and
1967 observing the victim performing the corresponding private-key operation.
1968 Found and reported by Leila Batina, Lukas Chmielewski, Björn Haase, Niels
1969 Samwel and Peter Schwabe.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001970
1971Bugfix
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001972 * Fix premature fopen() call in mbedtls_entropy_write_seed_file which may
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001973 lead to the seed file corruption in case if the path to the seed file is
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001974 equal to MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_STD_NV_SEED_FILE. Contributed by Victor
1975 Krasnoshchok in #3616.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001976 * PSA functions creating a key now return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT rather
1977 than PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE when the identifier specified for the key
1978 to create is not valid, bringing them in line with version 1.0.0 of the
1979 specification. Fix #4271.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02001980 * Add printf function attributes to mbedtls_debug_print_msg to ensure we
1981 get printf format specifier warnings.
1982 * PSA functions other than psa_open_key now return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE
1983 rather than PSA_ERROR_DOES_NOT_EXIST for an invalid handle, bringing them
1984 in line with version 1.0.0 of the specification. Fix #4162.
1985 * Fix a bug in ECDSA that would cause it to fail when the hash is all-bits
1986 zero. Fixes #1792
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001987 * Fix some cases in the bignum module where the library constructed an
1988 unintended representation of the value 0 which was not processed
1989 correctly by some bignum operations. This could happen when
1990 mbedtls_mpi_read_string() was called on "-0", or when
1991 mbedtls_mpi_mul_mpi() and mbedtls_mpi_mul_int() was called with one of
1992 the arguments being negative and the other being 0. Fixes #4643.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02001993 * Fix a compilation error when MBEDTLS_ECP_RANDOMIZE_MXZ_ALT is
1994 defined. Fixes #4217.
1995 * Fix an incorrect error code when parsing a PKCS#8 private key.
1996 * In a TLS client, enforce the Diffie-Hellman minimum parameter size
1997 set with mbedtls_ssl_conf_dhm_min_bitlen() precisely. Before, the
1998 minimum size was rounded down to the nearest multiple of 8.
1999 * In library/net_sockets.c, _POSIX_C_SOURCE and _XOPEN_SOURCE are
2000 defined to specific values. If the code is used in a context
2001 where these are already defined, this can result in a compilation
2002 error. Instead, assume that if they are defined, the values will
2003 be adequate to build Mbed TLS.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02002004 * With MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C disabled, some functions were getting built
2005 nonetheless, resulting in undefined reference errors when building a
2006 shared library. Reported by Guillermo Garcia M. in #4411.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02002007 * The cipher suite TLS-RSA-WITH-CAMELLIA-256-GCM-SHA384 was not available
2008 when SHA-1 was disabled and was offered when SHA-1 was enabled but SHA-384
2009 was disabled. Fix the dependency. Fixes #4472.
2010 * Do not offer SHA384 cipher suites when SHA-384 is disabled. Fixes #4499.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02002011 * Fix test suite code on platforms where int32_t is not int, such as
2012 Arm Cortex-M. Fixes #4530.
2013 * Fix some issues affecting MBEDTLS_ARIA_ALT implementations: a misplaced
2014 directive in a header and a missing initialization in the self-test.
2015 * Fix a missing initialization in the Camellia self-test, affecting
2016 MBEDTLS_CAMELLIA_ALT implementations.
2017 * Restore the ability to configure PSA via Mbed TLS options to support RSA
2018 key pair operations but exclude RSA key generation. When MBEDTLS_GENPRIME
2019 is not defined PSA will no longer attempt to use mbedtls_rsa_gen_key().
2020 Fixes #4512.
2021 * Fix a regression introduced in 2.24.0 which broke (D)TLS CBC ciphersuites
2022 (when the encrypt-then-MAC extension is not in use) with some ALT
2023 implementations of the underlying hash (SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384), causing
2024 the affected side to wrongly reject valid messages. Fixes #4118.
2025 * Remove outdated check-config.h check that prevented implementing the
2026 timing module on Mbed OS. Fixes #4633.
2027 * Fix PSA_ALG_TLS12_PRF and PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS being too permissive
2028 about missing inputs.
2029 * Fix mbedtls_net_poll() and mbedtls_net_recv_timeout() often failing with
2030 MBEDTLS_ERR_NET_POLL_FAILED on Windows. Fixes #4465.
2031 * Fix a resource leak in a test suite with an alternative AES
2032 implementation. Fixes #4176.
2033 * Fix a crash in mbedtls_mpi_debug_mpi on a bignum having 0 limbs. This
2034 could notably be triggered by setting the TLS debug level to 3 or above
2035 and using a Montgomery curve for the key exchange. Reported by lhuang04
2036 in #4578. Fixes #4608.
2037 * psa_verify_hash() was relying on implementation-specific behavior of
2038 mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pss_verify() and was causing failures in some _ALT
2039 implementations. This reliance is now removed. Fixes #3990.
2040 * Disallow inputs of length different from the corresponding hash when
2041 signing or verifying with PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS (The PSA Crypto API mandates
2042 that PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS uses the same hash throughout the algorithm.)
2043 * Fix a null pointer dereference when mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod() was called with
2044 A=0 represented with 0 limbs. Up to and including Mbed TLS 2.26, this bug
2045 could not be triggered by code that constructed A with one of the
2046 mbedtls_mpi_read_xxx functions (including in particular TLS code) since
2047 those always built an mpi object with at least one limb.
2048 Credit to OSS-Fuzz. Fixes #4641.
2049 * Fix mbedtls_mpi_gcd(G,A,B) when the value of B is zero. This had no
2050 effect on Mbed TLS's internal use of mbedtls_mpi_gcd(), but may affect
2051 applications that call mbedtls_mpi_gcd() directly. Fixes #4642.
2052 * The PSA API no longer allows the creation or destruction of keys with a
2053 read-only lifetime. The persistence level PSA_KEY_PERSISTENCE_READ_ONLY
2054 can now only be used as intended, for keys that cannot be modified through
2055 normal use of the API.
2056 * When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SPM is enabled, crypto_spe.h was not included
2057 in all the right places. Include it from crypto_platform.h, which is
2058 the natural place. Fixes #4649.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02002059 * Fix which alert is sent in some cases to conform to the
2060 applicable RFC: on an invalid Finished message value, an
2061 invalid max_fragment_length extension, or an
2062 unsupported extension used by the server.
2063 * Correct (change from 12 to 13 bytes) the value of the macro describing the
2064 maximum nonce length returned by psa_aead_generate_nonce().
2065
2066Changes
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02002067 * Fix the setting of the read timeout in the DTLS sample programs.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02002068 * Add extra printf compiler warning flags to builds.
2069 * Fix memsan build false positive in x509_crt.c with clang 11
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02002070 * Alternative implementations of CMAC may now opt to not support 3DES as a
2071 CMAC block cipher, and still pass the CMAC self test.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02002072 * Remove the AES sample application programs/aes/aescrypt2 which shows
2073 bad cryptographic practice. Fix #1906.
2074 * Remove configs/config-psa-crypto.h, which no longer had any intended
2075 differences from the default configuration, but had accidentally diverged.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02002076 * When building the test suites with GNU make, invoke python3 or python, not
2077 python2, which is no longer supported upstream.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02002078 * fix build failure on MinGW toolchain when __USE_MING_ANSI_STDIO is on.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02002079 When that flag is on, standard GNU C printf format specifiers
2080 should be used.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02002081 * Replace MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_PADDING_GRANULARITY and
2082 MBEDTLS_SSL_TLS1_3_PADDING_GRANULARITY with a new single unified option
2083 MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_TLS1_3_PADDING_GRANULARITY. Fixes #4335.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02002084 * Reduce the default value of MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE. This reduces RAM usage
2085 during ECC operations at a negligible performance cost.
2086 * mbedtls_mpi_read_binary(), mbedtls_mpi_read_binary_le() and
2087 mbedtls_mpi_read_string() now construct an mbedtls_mpi object with 0 limbs
2088 when their input has length 0. Note that this is an implementation detail
2089 and can change at any time, so this change should be transparent, but it
2090 may result in mbedtls_mpi_write_binary() or mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
2091 now writing an empty string where it previously wrote one or more
2092 zero digits when operating from values constructed with an mpi_read
2093 function and some mpi operations.
Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02002094 * Add CMake package config generation for CMake projects consuming Mbed TLS.
2095 * config.h has been split into build_info.h and mbedtls_config.h
2096 build_info.h is intended to be included from C code directly, while
2097 mbedtls_config.h is intended to be edited by end users wishing to
2098 change the build configuration, and should generally only be included from
2099 build_info.h.
2100 * The handling of MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE has been moved into build_info.h.
2101 * A config file version symbol, MBEDTLS_CONFIG_VERSION was introduced.
2102 Defining it to a particular value will ensure that Mbed TLS interprets
2103 the config file in a way that's compatible with the config file format
2104 used by the Mbed TLS release whose MBEDTLS_VERSION_NUMBER has the same
2105 value.
2106 The only value supported by Mbed TLS 3.0.0 is 0x03000000.
2107 * Various changes to which alert and/or error code may be returned
2108 * during the TLS handshake.
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02002109 * Implicitly add PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_MESSAGE key usage policy flag when
2110 PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_HASH flag is set and PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_MESSAGE flag
2111 when PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_HASH flag is set. This usage flag extension
2112 is also applied when loading a key from storage.
2113
2114= mbed TLS 2.26.0 branch released 2021-03-08
2115
2116API changes
2117 * Renamed the PSA Crypto API output buffer size macros to bring them in line
2118 with version 1.0.0 of the specification.
2119 * The API glue function mbedtls_ecc_group_of_psa() now takes the curve size
2120 in bits rather than bytes, with an additional flag to indicate if the
2121 size may have been rounded up to a whole number of bytes.
2122 * Renamed the PSA Crypto API AEAD tag length macros to bring them in line
2123 with version 1.0.0 of the specification.
2124
2125Default behavior changes
2126 * In mbedtls_rsa_context objects, the ver field was formerly documented
2127 as always 0. It is now reserved for internal purposes and may take
2128 different values.
2129
2130New deprecations
2131 * PSA_KEY_EXPORT_MAX_SIZE, PSA_HASH_SIZE, PSA_MAC_FINAL_SIZE,
2132 PSA_BLOCK_CIPHER_BLOCK_SIZE, PSA_MAX_BLOCK_CIPHER_BLOCK_SIZE and
2133 PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS_MAX_PSK_LEN have been renamed, and the old names
2134 deprecated.
2135 * PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_DEFAULT_TAG_LENGTH and PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_TAG_LENGTH
2136 have been renamed, and the old names deprecated.
2137
2138Features
2139 * The PSA crypto subsystem can now use HMAC_DRBG instead of CTR_DRBG.
2140 CTR_DRBG is used by default if it is available, but you can override
2141 this choice by setting MBEDTLS_PSA_HMAC_DRBG_MD_TYPE at compile time.
2142 Fix #3354.
2143 * Automatic fallback to a software implementation of ECP when
2144 MBEDTLS_ECP_xxx_ALT accelerator hooks are in use can now be turned off
2145 through setting the new configuration flag MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_FALLBACK.
2146 * The PSA crypto subsystem can now be configured to use less static RAM by
2147 tweaking the setting for the maximum amount of keys simultaneously in RAM.
2148 MBEDTLS_PSA_KEY_SLOT_COUNT sets the maximum number of volatile keys that
2149 can exist simultaneously. It has a sensible default if not overridden.
2150 * Partial implementation of the PSA crypto driver interface: Mbed TLS can
2151 now use an external random generator instead of the library's own
2152 entropy collection and DRBG code. Enable MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG
2153 and see the documentation of mbedtls_psa_external_get_random() for details.
2154 * Applications using both mbedtls_xxx and psa_xxx functions (for example,
2155 applications using TLS and MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO) can now use the PSA
2156 random generator with mbedtls_xxx functions. See the documentation of
2157 mbedtls_psa_get_random() for details.
2158 * In the PSA API, the policy for a MAC or AEAD algorithm can specify a
2159 minimum MAC or tag length thanks to the new wildcards
2160 PSA_ALG_AT_LEAST_THIS_LENGTH_MAC and
2161 PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_AT_LEAST_THIS_LENGTH_TAG.
2162
2163Security
2164 * Fix a security reduction in CTR_DRBG when the initial seeding obtained a
2165 nonce from entropy. Applications were affected if they called
2166 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len(), if they called
2167 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_entropy_len() with a size that was 3/2 times the key
2168 length, or when the entropy module uses SHA-256 and CTR_DRBG uses AES-256.
2169 In such cases, a random nonce was necessary to achieve the advertised
2170 security strength, but the code incorrectly used a constant instead of
2171 entropy from the nonce.
2172 Found by John Stroebel in #3819 and fixed in #3973.
2173 * Fix a buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() when calculating
2174 |A| - |B| where |B| is larger than |A| and has more limbs (so the
2175 function should return MBEDTLS_ERR_MPI_NEGATIVE_VALUE). Only
2176 applications calling mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() directly are affected:
2177 all calls inside the library were safe since this function is
2178 only called with |A| >= |B|. Reported by Guido Vranken in #4042.
2179 * Fix an errorneous estimation for an internal buffer in
2180 mbedtls_pk_write_key_pem(). If MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE is set to an odd
2181 value the function might fail to write a private RSA keys of the largest
2182 supported size.
2183 Found by Daniel Otte, reported in #4093 and fixed in #4094.
2184 * Fix a stack buffer overflow with mbedtls_net_poll() and
2185 mbedtls_net_recv_timeout() when given a file descriptor that is
2186 beyond FD_SETSIZE. Reported by FigBug in #4169.
2187 * Guard against strong local side channel attack against base64 tables by
2188 making access aceess to them use constant flow code.
2189
2190Bugfix
2191 * Fix use-after-scope error in programs/ssl/ssl_client2.c and ssl_server2.c
2192 * Fix memory leak that occured when calling psa_close_key() on a
2193 wrapped key with MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C defined.
2194 * Fix an incorrect error code if an RSA private operation glitched.
2195 * Fix a memory leak in an error case in psa_generate_derived_key_internal().
2196 * Fix a resource leak in CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C
2197 is enabled, on platforms where initializing a mutex allocates resources.
2198 This was a regression introduced in the previous release. Reported in
2199 #4017, #4045 and #4071.
2200 * Ensure that calling mbedtls_rsa_free() or mbedtls_entropy_free()
2201 twice is safe. This happens for RSA when some Mbed TLS library functions
2202 fail. Such a double-free was not safe when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C was
2203 enabled on platforms where freeing a mutex twice is not safe.
2204 * Fix a resource leak in a bad-arguments case of mbedtls_rsa_gen_key()
2205 when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled on platforms where initializing
2206 a mutex allocates resources.
2207 * Fixes a bug where, if the library was configured to include support for
2208 both the old SE interface and the new PSA driver interface, external keys were
2209 not loaded from storage. This was fixed by #3996.
2210 * This change makes 'mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_basic_constraints'
2211 consistent with RFC 5280 4.2.1.9 which says: "Conforming CAs MUST
2212 include this extension in all CA certificates that contain public keys
2213 used to validate digital signatures on certificates and MUST mark the
2214 extension as critical in such certificates." Previous to this change,
2215 the extension was always marked as non-critical. This was fixed by
2216 #3698.
2217
2218Changes
2219 * A new library C file psa_crypto_client.c has been created to contain
2220 the PSA code needed by a PSA crypto client when the PSA crypto
2221 implementation is not included into the library.
2222 * On recent enough versions of FreeBSD and DragonFlyBSD, the entropy module
2223 now uses the getrandom syscall instead of reading from /dev/urandom.

2227API changes
2228 * The numerical values of the PSA Crypto API macros have been updated to
2229 conform to version 1.0.0 of the specification.
2230 * PSA_ALG_STREAM_CIPHER replaces PSA_ALG_CHACHA20 and PSA_ALG_ARC4.
2231 The underlying stream cipher is determined by the key type
2232 (PSA_KEY_TYPE_CHACHA20 or PSA_KEY_TYPE_ARC4).
2233 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
2234 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() no longer accept NIST_KW contexts,
2235 as they have no way to check if the output buffer is large enough.
2236 Please use mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt_ext() and
2237 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt_ext() instead. Credit to OSS-Fuzz and
2238 Cryptofuzz. Fixes #3665.
2239
2240Requirement changes
2241 * Update the minimum required CMake version to 2.8.12. This silences a
2242 warning on CMake 3.19.0. #3801
2243
2244New deprecations
2245 * PSA_ALG_CHACHA20 and PSA_ALG_ARC4 have been deprecated.
2246 Use PSA_ALG_STREAM_CIPHER instead.
2247 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
2248 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() are deprecated in favour of the new
2249 functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt_ext() and
2250 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt_ext(). Please note that with AEAD ciphers,
2251 these new functions always append the tag to the ciphertext, and include
2252 the tag in the ciphertext length.
2253
2254Features
2255 * Partial implementation of the new PSA Crypto accelerator APIs. (Symmetric
2256 ciphers, asymmetric signing/verification and key generation, validate_key
2257 entry point, and export_public_key interface.)
2258 * Add support for ECB to the PSA cipher API.
2259 * In PSA, allow using a key declared with a base key agreement algorithm
2260 in combined key agreement and derivation operations, as long as the key
2261 agreement algorithm in use matches the algorithm the key was declared with.
2262 This is currently non-standard behaviour, but expected to make it into a
2263 future revision of the PSA Crypto standard.
2264 * Add MBEDTLS_TARGET_PREFIX CMake variable, which is prefixed to the mbedtls,
2265 mbedcrypto, mbedx509 and apidoc CMake target names. This can be used by
2266 external CMake projects that include this one to avoid CMake target name
2267 clashes. The default value of this variable is "", so default target names
2268 are unchanged.
2269 * Add support for DTLS-SRTP as defined in RFC 5764. Contributed by Johan
2270 Pascal, improved by Ron Eldor.
2271 * In the PSA API, it is no longer necessary to open persistent keys:
2272 operations now accept the key identifier. The type psa_key_handle_t is now
2273 identical to psa_key_id_t instead of being platform-defined. This bridges
2274 the last major gap to compliance with the PSA Cryptography specification
2275 version 1.0.0. Opening persistent keys is still supported for backward
2276 compatibility, but will be deprecated and later removed in future
2277 releases.
2278 * PSA_AEAD_NONCE_LENGTH, PSA_AEAD_NONCE_MAX_SIZE, PSA_CIPHER_IV_LENGTH and
2279 PSA_CIPHER_IV_MAX_SIZE macros have been added as defined in version
2280 1.0.0 of the PSA Crypto API specification.
2281
2282Security
2283 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
2284 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() would write past the minimum documented
2285 size of the output buffer when used with NIST_KW. As a result, code using
2286 those functions as documented with NIST_KW could have a buffer overwrite
2287 of up to 15 bytes, with consequences ranging up to arbitrary code
2288 execution depending on the location of the output buffer.
2289 * Limit the size of calculations performed by mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod to
2290 MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE to prevent a potential denial of service when
2291 generating Diffie-Hellman key pairs. Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
2292 * A failure of the random generator was ignored in mbedtls_mpi_fill_random(),
2293 which is how most uses of randomization in asymmetric cryptography
2294 (including key generation, intermediate value randomization and blinding)
2295 are implemented. This could cause failures or the silent use of non-random
2296 values. A random generator can fail if it needs reseeding and cannot not
2297 obtain entropy, or due to an internal failure (which, for Mbed TLS's own
2298 CTR_DRBG or HMAC_DRBG, can only happen due to a misconfiguration).
2299 * Fix a compliance issue whereby we were not checking the tag on the
2300 algorithm parameters (only the size) when comparing the signature in the
2301 description part of the cert to the real signature. This meant that a
2302 NULL algorithm parameters entry would look identical to an array of REAL
2303 (size zero) to the library and thus the certificate would be considered
2304 valid. However, if the parameters do not match in *any* way then the
2305 certificate should be considered invalid, and indeed OpenSSL marks these
2306 certs as invalid when mbedtls did not.
2307 Many thanks to guidovranken who found this issue via differential fuzzing
2308 and reported it in #3629.
2309 * Zeroising of local buffers and variables which are used for calculations
2310 in mbedtls_pkcs5_pbkdf2_hmac(), mbedtls_internal_sha*_process(),
2311 mbedtls_internal_md*_process() and mbedtls_internal_ripemd160_process()
2312 functions to erase sensitive data from memory. Reported by
2313 Johan Malmgren and Johan Uppman Bruce from Sectra.

Jens Wiklander32b31802023-10-06 16:59:46 +02002316 * Fix an invalid (but nonzero) return code from mbedtls_pk_parse_subpubkey()
Jerome Forissier79013242021-07-28 10:24:04 +02002317 when the input has trailing garbage. Fixes #2512.
2318 * Fix build failure in configurations where MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is
2319 enabled but ECDSA is disabled. Contributed by jdurkop. Fixes #3294.
2320 * Include the psa_constant_names generated source code in the source tree
2321 instead of generating it at build time. Fixes #3524.
2322 * Fix rsa_prepare_blinding() to retry when the blinding value is not
2323 invertible (mod N), instead of returning MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_RNG_FAILED. This
2324 addresses a regression but is rare in practice (approx. 1 in 2/sqrt(N)).
2325 Found by Synopsys Coverity, fix contributed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin).
2326 Fixes #3647.
2327 * Use socklen_t on Android and other POSIX-compliant system
2328 * Fix the build when the macro _GNU_SOURCE is defined to a non-empty value.
2329 Fix #3432.
2330 * Consistently return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT on invalid cipher input
2331 sizes (instead of PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATE in some cases) to make the
2332 psa_cipher_* functions compliant with the PSA Crypto API specification.
2333 * mbedtls_ecp_curve_list() now lists Curve25519 and Curve448 under the names
2334 "x25519" and "x448". These curves support ECDH but not ECDSA. If you need
2335 only the curves that support ECDSA, filter the list with
2336 mbedtls_ecdsa_can_do().
2337 * Fix psa_generate_key() returning an error when asked to generate
2338 an ECC key pair on Curve25519 or secp244k1.
2339 * Fix psa_key_derivation_output_key() to allow the output of a combined key
2340 agreement and subsequent key derivation operation to be used as a key
2341 inside of the PSA Crypto core.
2342 * Fix handling of EOF against 0xff bytes and on platforms with unsigned
2343 chars. Fixes a build failure on platforms where char is unsigned. Fixes
2344 #3794.
2345 * Fix an off-by-one error in the additional data length check for
2346 CCM, which allowed encryption with a non-standard length field.
2347 Fixes #3719.
2348 * Correct the default IV size for mbedtls_cipher_info_t structures using
2349 MBEDTLS_MODE_ECB to 0, since ECB mode ciphers don't use IVs.
2350 * Make arc4random_buf available on NetBSD and OpenBSD when _POSIX_C_SOURCE is
2351 defined. Fix contributed in #3571.
2352 * Fix conditions for including string.h in error.c. Fixes #3866.
2353 * psa_set_key_id() now also sets the lifetime to persistent for keys located
2354 in a secure element.
2355 * Attempting to create a volatile key with a non-zero key identifier now
2356 fails. Previously the key identifier was just ignored when creating a
2357 volatile key.
2358 * Attempting to create or register a key with a key identifier in the vendor
2359 range now fails.
2360 * Fix build failures on GCC 11. Fixes #3782.
2361 * Add missing arguments of debug message in mbedtls_ssl_decrypt_buf.
2362 * Fix a memory leak in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() when the result was negative
2363 (an error condition) and the second operand was aliased to the result.
2364 * Fix a case in elliptic curve arithmetic where an out-of-memory condition
2365 could go undetected, resulting in an incorrect result.
2366 * In CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG, don't reset the reseed interval in seed().
2367 Fixes #2927.
2368 * In PEM writing functions, fill the trailing part of the buffer with null
2369 bytes. This guarantees that the corresponding parsing function can read
2370 the buffer back, which was the case for mbedtls_x509write_{crt,csr}_pem
2371 until this property was inadvertently broken in Mbed TLS 2.19.0.
2372 Fixes #3682.
2373 * Fix a build failure that occurred with the MBEDTLS_AES_SETKEY_DEC_ALT
2374 option on. In this configuration key management methods that are required
2375 for MBEDTLS_CIPHER_MODE_XTS were excluded from the build and made it fail.
2376 Fixes #3818. Reported by John Stroebel.

2378Changes
2379 * Reduce stack usage significantly during sliding window exponentiation.
2380 Reported in #3591 and fix contributed in #3592 by Daniel Otte.
2381 * The PSA persistent storage format is updated to always store the key bits
2382 attribute. No automatic upgrade path is provided. Previously stored keys
2383 must be erased, or manually upgraded based on the key storage format
2384 specification (docs/architecture/mbed-crypto-storage-specification.md).
2385 Fixes #3740.
2386 * Remove the zeroization of a pointer variable in AES rounds. It was valid
2387 but spurious and misleading since it looked like a mistaken attempt to
2388 zeroize the pointed-to buffer. Reported by Antonio de la Piedra, CEA
2389 Leti, France.

2395 group families to psa_ecc_family_t and psa_dh_family_t, in line with the
2396 PSA Crypto API specification version 1.0.0.

2409 * The new function mbedtls_ecp_write_key() exports private ECC keys back to
2410 a byte buffer. It is the inverse of the existing mbedtls_ecp_read_key().
2411 * Support building on e2k (Elbrus) architecture: correctly enable
2412 -Wformat-signedness, and fix the code that causes signed-one-bit-field
2413 and sign-compare warnings. Contributed by makise-homura (Igor Molchanov)
2414 <akemi_homura@kurisa.ch>.

2416Security
2417 * Fix a vulnerability in the verification of X.509 certificates when
2418 matching the expected common name (the cn argument of
2419 mbedtls_x509_crt_verify()) with the actual certificate name: when the
2420 subjecAltName extension is present, the expected name was compared to any
2421 name in that extension regardless of its type. This means that an
2422 attacker could for example impersonate a 4-bytes or 16-byte domain by
2423 getting a certificate for the corresponding IPv4 or IPv6 (this would
2424 require the attacker to control that IP address, though). Similar attacks
2425 using other subjectAltName name types might be possible. Found and
2426 reported by kFYatek in #3498.
2427 * When checking X.509 CRLs, a certificate was only considered as revoked if
2428 its revocationDate was in the past according to the local clock if
2429 available. In particular, on builds without MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE,
2430 certificates were never considered as revoked. On builds with
2431 MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE, an attacker able to control the local clock (for
2432 example, an untrusted OS attacking a secure enclave) could prevent
2433 revocation of certificates via CRLs. Fixed by no longer checking the
2434 revocationDate field, in accordance with RFC 5280. Reported by
2435 yuemonangong in #3340. Reported independently and fixed by
2436 Raoul Strackx and Jethro Beekman in #3433.
2437 * In (D)TLS record decryption, when using a CBC ciphersuites without the
2438 Encrypt-then-Mac extension, use constant code flow memory access patterns
2439 to extract and check the MAC. This is an improvement to the existing
2440 countermeasure against Lucky 13 attacks. The previous countermeasure was
2441 effective against network-based attackers, but less so against local
2442 attackers. The new countermeasure defends against local attackers, even
2443 if they have access to fine-grained measurements. In particular, this
2444 fixes a local Lucky 13 cache attack found and reported by Tuba Yavuz,
2445 Farhaan Fowze, Ken (Yihan) Bai, Grant Hernandez, and Kevin Butler
2446 (University of Florida) and Dave Tian (Purdue University).
2447 * Fix side channel in RSA private key operations and static (finite-field)
2448 Diffie-Hellman. An adversary with precise enough timing and memory access
2449 information (typically an untrusted operating system attacking a secure
2450 enclave) could bypass an existing counter-measure (base blinding) and
2451 potentially fully recover the private key.
2452 * Fix a 1-byte buffer overread in mbedtls_x509_crl_parse_der().
2453 Credit to OSS-Fuzz for detecting the problem and to Philippe Antoine
2454 for pinpointing the problematic code.
2455 * Zeroising of plaintext buffers in mbedtls_ssl_read() to erase unused
2456 application data from memory. Reported in #689 by
2457 Johan Uppman Bruce of Sectra.

2459Bugfix
2460 * Library files installed after a CMake build no longer have execute
2461 permission.
2462 * Use local labels in mbedtls_padlock_has_support() to fix an invalid symbol
2463 redefinition if the function is inlined.
2464 Reported in #3451 and fix contributed in #3452 by okhowang.
2465 * Fix the endianness of Curve25519 keys imported/exported through the PSA
2466 APIs. psa_import_key and psa_export_key will now correctly expect/output
2467 Montgomery keys in little-endian as defined by RFC7748. Contributed by
2468 Steven Cooreman in #3425.
2469 * Fix build errors when the only enabled elliptic curves are Montgomery
2470 curves. Raised by signpainter in #941 and by Taiki-San in #1412. This
2471 also fixes missing declarations reported by Steven Cooreman in #1147.
2472 * Fix self-test failure when the only enabled short Weierstrass elliptic
2473 curve is secp192k1. Fixes #2017.
2474 * PSA key import will now correctly import a Curve25519/Curve448 public key
2475 instead of erroring out. Contributed by Steven Cooreman in #3492.
2476 * Use arc4random_buf on NetBSD instead of rand implementation with cyclical
2477 lower bits. Fix contributed in #3540.
2478 * Fix a memory leak in mbedtls_md_setup() when using HMAC under low memory
2479 conditions. Reported and fix suggested by Guido Vranken in #3486.
2480 * Fix bug in redirection of unit test outputs on platforms where stdout is
2481 defined as a macro. First reported in #2311 and fix contributed in #3528.
2482
2483Changes
2484 * Only pass -Wformat-signedness to versions of GCC that support it. Reported
2485 in #3478 and fix contributed in #3479 by okhowang.
2486 * Reduce the stack consumption of mbedtls_x509write_csr_der() which
2487 previously could lead to stack overflow on constrained devices.
2488 Contributed by Doru Gucea and Simon Leet in #3464.
2489 * Undefine the ASSERT macro before defining it locally, in case it is defined
2490 in a platform header. Contributed by Abdelatif Guettouche in #3557.
2491 * Update copyright notices to use Linux Foundation guidance. As a result,
2492 the copyright of contributors other than Arm is now acknowledged, and the
2493 years of publishing are no longer tracked in the source files. This also
2494 eliminates the need for the lines declaring the files to be part of
2495 MbedTLS. Fixes #3457.
2496 * Add the command line parameter key_pwd to the ssl_client2 and ssl_server2
2497 example applications which allows to provide a password for the key file
2498 specified through the existing key_file argument. This allows the use of
2499 these applications with password-protected key files. Analogously but for
2500 ssl_server2 only, add the command line parameter key_pwd2 which allows to
2501 set a password for the key file provided through the existing key_file2
2502 argument.

2507 * In the experimental PSA secure element interface, change the encoding of
2508 key lifetimes to encode a persistence level and the location. Although C
2509 prototypes do not effectively change, code calling
2510 psa_register_se_driver() must be modified to pass the driver's location
2511 instead of the keys' lifetime. If the library is upgraded on an existing
2512 device, keys created with the old lifetime value will not be readable or
2513 removable through Mbed TLS after the upgrade.

2520 in #3176.
2521 * The new utility programs/ssl/ssl_context_info prints a human-readable
2522 dump of an SSL context saved with mbedtls_ssl_context_save().
2523 * Add support for midipix, a POSIX layer for Microsoft Windows.
2524 * Add new mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() routine which allows
2525 parsing unsupported certificate extensions via user provided callback.
2526 Contributed by Nicola Di Lieto <nicola.dilieto@gmail.com> in #3243 as

2530 policies (#3419).
2531 * Added support to entropy_poll for the kern.arandom syscall supported on

2538 Ming-Wei Shih, Prasun Gera, Taesoo Kim and Hyesoon Kim (Georgia Institute
2539 of Technology); and Marcus Peinado (Microsoft Research). Reported by Raoul
2540 Strackx (Fortanix) in #3394.
2541 * Fix side channel in mbedtls_ecp_check_pub_priv() and
2542 mbedtls_pk_parse_key() / mbedtls_pk_parse_keyfile() (when loading a
2543 private key that didn't include the uncompressed public key), as well as
2544 mbedtls_ecp_mul() / mbedtls_ecp_mul_restartable() when called with a NULL
2545 f_rng argument. An attacker with access to precise enough timing and
2546 memory access information (typically an untrusted operating system
2547 attacking a secure enclave) could fully recover the ECC private key.
2548 Found and reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Brumley.
2549 * Fix issue in Lucky 13 counter-measure that could make it ineffective when
2550 hardware accelerators were used (using one of the MBEDTLS_SHAxxx_ALT
2551 macros). This would cause the original Lucky 13 attack to be possible in
2552 those configurations, allowing an active network attacker to recover
2553 plaintext after repeated timing measurements under some conditions.
2554 Reported and fix suggested by Luc Perneel in #3246.
2555
2556Bugfix
2557 * Fix the Visual Studio Release x64 build configuration for mbedtls itself.
2558 Completes a previous fix in Mbed TLS 2.19 that only fixed the build for
2559 the example programs. Reported in #1430 and fix contributed by irwir.
2560 * Fix undefined behavior in X.509 certificate parsing if the
2561 pathLenConstraint basic constraint value is equal to INT_MAX.
2562 The actual effect with almost every compiler is the intended
2563 behavior, so this is unlikely to be exploitable anywhere. #3192
2564 * Fix issue with a detected HW accelerated record error not being exposed
2565 due to shadowed variable. Contributed by Sander Visser in #3310.
2566 * Avoid NULL pointer dereferencing if mbedtls_ssl_free() is called with a
2567 NULL pointer argument. Contributed by Sander Visser in #3312.
2568 * Fix potential linker errors on dual world platforms by inlining
2569 mbedtls_gcc_group_to_psa(). This allows the pk.c module to link separately
2570 from psa_crypto.c. Fixes #3300.
2571 * Remove dead code in X.509 certificate parsing. Contributed by irwir in
2572 #2855.
2573 * Include asn1.h in error.c. Fixes #3328 reported by David Hu.
2574 * Fix potential memory leaks in ecp_randomize_jac() and ecp_randomize_mxz()
2575 when PRNG function fails. Contributed by Jonas Lejeune in #3318.
2576 * Remove unused macros from MSVC projects. Reported in #3297 and fix
2577 submitted in #3333 by irwir.
2578 * Add additional bounds checks in ssl_write_client_hello() preventing
2579 output buffer overflow if the configuration declared a buffer that was
2580 too small.
2581 * Set _POSIX_C_SOURCE to at least 200112L in C99 code. Reported in #3420 and
2582 fix submitted in #3421 by Nia Alarie.
2583 * Fix building library/net_sockets.c and the ssl_mail_client program on
2584 NetBSD. Contributed by Nia Alarie in #3422.
2585 * Fix false positive uninitialised variable reported by cpp-check.
2586 Contributed by Sander Visser in #3311.
2587 * Update iv and len context pointers manually when reallocating buffers
2588 using the MBEDTLS_SSL_VARIABLE_BUFFER_LENGTH feature. This caused issues
2589 when receiving a connection with CID, when these fields were shifted
2590 in ssl_parse_record_header().
2591
2592Changes
2593 * Fix warnings about signedness issues in format strings. The build is now
2594 clean of -Wformat-signedness warnings. Contributed by Kenneth Soerensen
2595 in #3153.
2596 * Fix minor performance issue in operations on Curve25519 caused by using a
2597 suboptimal modular reduction in one place. Found and fix contributed by
2598 Aurelien Jarno in #3209.
2599 * Combine identical cases in switch statements in md.c. Contributed
2600 by irwir in #3208.
2601 * Simplify a bounds check in ssl_write_certificate_request(). Contributed
2602 by irwir in #3150.
2603 * Unify the example programs termination to call mbedtls_exit() instead of
2604 using a return command. This has been done to enable customization of the
2605 behavior in bare metal environments.
2606 * Fix mbedtls_x509_dn_gets to escape non-ASCII characters as "?".
2607 Contributed by Koh M. Nakagawa in #3326.
2608 * Use FindPython3 when cmake version >= 3.15.0
2609 * Abort the ClientHello writing function as soon as some extension doesn't
2610 fit into the record buffer. Previously, such extensions were silently
2611 dropped. As a consequence, the TLS handshake now fails when the output
2612 buffer is not large enough to hold the ClientHello.
2613 * The unit tests now rely on header files in tests/include/test and source
2614 files in tests/src. When building with make or cmake, the files in
2615 tests/src are compiled and the resulting object linked into each test
2616 executable.
2617 * The ECP module, enabled by `MBEDTLS_ECP_C`, now depends on
2618 `MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_C` or `MBEDTLS_HMAC_DRBG_C` for some side-channel
2619 coutermeasures. If side channels are not a concern, this dependency can
2620 be avoided by enabling the new option `MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_INTERNAL_RNG`.
2621 * Align MSVC error flag with GCC and Clang. Contributed by Carlos Gomes
2622 Martinho. #3147
2623 * Remove superfluous assignment in mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate(). Reported
2624 in #3182 and fix submitted by irwir. #3217

2631 SSL module for hardware acceleration of individual records.
2632 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len() in favour of
2633 mbedtls_ssl_get_output_max_frag_len() and
2634 mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() to be more precise about which max
2635 fragment length is desired.

2637Security
2638 * Fix issue in DTLS handling of new associations with the same parameters
2639 (RFC 6347 section 4.2.8): an attacker able to send forged UDP packets to
2640 the server could cause it to drop established associations with
2641 legitimate clients, resulting in a Denial of Service. This could only
2642 happen when MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE was enabled in config.h
2643 (which it is by default).
2644 * Fix side channel in ECC code that allowed an adversary with access to
2645 precise enough timing and memory access information (typically an
2646 untrusted operating system attacking a secure enclave) to fully recover
2647 an ECDSA private key. Found and reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya,
2648 Billy Brumley and Cesar Pereida Garcia. CVE-2020-10932

2650 DTLS client when parsing the Hello Verify Request message.

2657Bugfix
2658 * Fix compilation failure when both MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_DTLS and
2659 MBEDTLS_SSL_HW_RECORD_ACCEL are enabled.
2660 * Remove a spurious check in ssl_parse_client_psk_identity that triggered
2661 a warning with some compilers. Fix contributed by irwir in #2856.
2662 * Fix a function name in a debug message. Contributed by Ercan Ozturk in
2663 #3013.

2665Changes
2666 * Mbed Crypto is no longer a Git submodule. The crypto part of the library
2667 is back directly in the present repository.
2668 * Split mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len() into
2669 mbedtls_ssl_get_output_max_frag_len() and
2670 mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() to ensure that a sufficient input
2671 buffer is allocated by the server (if MBEDTLS_SSL_VARIABLE_BUFFER_LENGTH
2672 is defined), regardless of what MFL was configured for it.

2680 * Deprecate for MBEDTLS_PKCS11_C, the wrapper around the pkcs11-helper
2681 library which allows TLS authentication to use keys stored in a
2682 PKCS#11 token such as a smartcard.

2685 * Fix potential memory overread when performing an ECDSA signature
2686 operation. The overread only happens with cryptographically low
2687 probability (of the order of 2^-n where n is the bitsize of the curve)
2688 unless the RNG is broken, and could result in information disclosure or
2689 denial of service (application crash or extra resource consumption).
2690 Found by Auke Zeilstra and Peter Schwabe, using static analysis.
2691 * To avoid a side channel vulnerability when parsing an RSA private key,
2692 read all the CRT parameters from the DER structure rather than
2693 reconstructing them. Found by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Bob
2694 Brumley. Reported and fix contributed by Jack Lloyd.

2701API changes
2702 * Change the encoding of key types and curves in the PSA API. The new
2703 values are aligned with the upcoming release of the PSA Crypto API
2704 specification version 1.0.0. The main change which may break some
2705 existing code is that elliptic curve key types no longer encode the
2706 exact curve: a psa_ecc_curve_t or psa_key_type_t value only encodes
2707 a curve family and the key size determines the exact curve (for example,
2708 PSA_ECC_CURVE_SECP_R1 with 256 bits is P256R1). ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#330

2717 a cryptographic accelerator fails. ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#345
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002718 * Fix a bug in mbedtls_pk_parse_key() that would cause it to accept some

2726Default behavior changes
2727 * The initial seeding of a CTR_DRBG instance makes a second call to the
2728 entropy function to obtain entropy for a nonce if the entropy size is less
2729 than 3/2 times the key size. In case you want to disable the extra call to
2730 grab entropy, you can call mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len() to force the
2731 nonce length to 0.

2733Security
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02002734 * Enforce that mbedtls_entropy_func() gathers a total of
2735 MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_BLOCK_SIZE bytes or more from strong sources. In the
2736 default configuration, on a platform with a single entropy source, the
2737 entropy module formerly only grabbed 32 bytes, which is good enough for
2738 security if the source is genuinely strong, but less than the expected 64
2739 bytes (size of the entropy accumulator).
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002740 * Zeroize local variables in mbedtls_internal_aes_encrypt() and
2741 mbedtls_internal_aes_decrypt() before exiting the function. The value of
2742 these variables can be used to recover the last round key. To follow best
2743 practice and to limit the impact of buffer overread vulnerabilities (like
2744 Heartbleed) we need to zeroize them before exiting the function.
2745 Issue reported by Tuba Yavuz, Farhaan Fowze, Ken (Yihang) Bai,
2746 Grant Hernandez, and Kevin Butler (University of Florida) and
2747 Dave Tian (Purdue University).
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02002748 * Fix side channel vulnerability in ECDSA. Our bignum implementation is not
2749 constant time/constant trace, so side channel attacks can retrieve the
2750 blinded value, factor it (as it is smaller than RSA keys and not guaranteed
2751 to have only large prime factors), and then, by brute force, recover the
2752 key. Reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Brumley.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002753 * Fix side channel vulnerability in ECDSA key generation. Obtaining precise
2754 timings on the comparison in the key generation enabled the attacker to
2755 learn leading bits of the ephemeral key used during ECDSA signatures and to
2756 recover the private key. Reported by Jeremy Dubeuf.
2757 * Catch failure of AES functions in mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random(). Uncaught
2758 failures could happen with alternative implementations of AES. Bug
2759 reported and fix proposed by Johan Uppman Bruce and Christoffer Lauri,

2763 * Key derivation inputs in the PSA API can now either come from a key object
2764 or from a buffer regardless of the step type.
2765 * The CTR_DRBG module can grab a nonce from the entropy source during the
2766 initial seeding. The default nonce length is chosen based on the key size
2767 to achieve the security strength defined by NIST SP 800-90A. You can

2799 * psa_close_key(0) and psa_destroy_key(0) now succeed (doing nothing, as
2800 before).
2801 * Variables containing error codes are now initialized to an error code
2802 rather than success, so that coding mistakes or memory corruption tends to
2803 cause functions to return this error code rather than a success. There are
2804 no known instances where this changes the behavior of the library: this is

2835 side of the key exchange had a similar bug.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002836 * When writing a private EC key, use a constant size for the private
2837 value, as specified in RFC 5915. Previously, the value was written
2838 as an ASN.1 INTEGER, which caused the size of the key to leak
2839 about 1 bit of information on average and could cause the value to be
2840 1 byte too large for the output buffer.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02002841 * The deterministic ECDSA calculation reused the scheme's HMAC-DRBG to
2842 implement blinding. Because of this for the same key and message the same
2843 blinding value was generated. This reduced the effectiveness of the
2844 countermeasure and leaked information about the private key through side
2845 channels. Reported by Jack Lloyd.

2850 store it in non-volatile storage, and later using it for TLS session
2851 resumption.
2852 * Add a new API function mbedtls_ssl_check_record() to allow checking that
2853 an incoming record is valid, authentic and has not been seen before. This
2854 feature can be used alongside Connection ID and SSL context serialisation.
2855 The feature is enabled at compile-time by MBEDTLS_SSL_RECORD_CHECKING
2856 option.
2857 * New implementation of X25519 (ECDH using Curve25519) from Project Everest
2858 (https://project-everest.github.io/). It can be enabled at compile time
2859 with MBEDTLS_ECDH_VARIANT_EVEREST_ENABLED. This implementation is formally

2861 (32-bit and 64-bit) using GCC, Clang or Visual Studio. Contributed by
2862 Christoph Wintersteiger from Microsoft Research.
2863 * Add mbedtls_net_close(), enabling the building of forking servers where
2864 the parent process closes the client socket and continue accepting, and
2865 the child process closes the listening socket and handles the client
2866 socket. Contributed by Robert Larsen in #2803.

2873 * The functions mbedtls_ecp_curve_list() and mbedtls_ecp_grp_id_list() now
2874 list all curves for which at least one of ECDH or ECDSA is supported, not
2875 just curves for which both are supported. Call mbedtls_ecdsa_can_do() or

2877 supported.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002878 * The new function mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det_ext() is similar to

2897 * Remove redundant include file in timing.c. Fixes #2640 reported by irwir.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02002898 * Fix build failure when building with mingw on Windows by including
2899 stdarg.h where needed. Fixes #2656.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002900 * Fix Visual Studio Release x64 build configuration by inheriting
2901 PlatformToolset from the project configuration. Fixes #1430 reported by
2902 irwir.
2903 * Enable Suite B with subset of ECP curves. Make sure the code compiles even
2904 if some curves are not defined. Fixes #1591 reported by dbedev.
2905 * Fix misuse of signed arithmetic in the HAVEGE module. #2598
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02002906 * Avoid use of statically sized stack buffers for certificate writing.
2907 This previously limited the maximum size of DER encoded certificates
2908 in mbedtls_x509write_crt_der() to 2Kb. Reported by soccerGB in #2631.
2909 * Fix partial zeroing in x509_get_other_name. Found and fixed by ekse, #2716.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002910 * Update test certificates that were about to expire. Reported by

2913 that are only available in Thumb mode. Fix contributed by Aurelien Jarno
2914 in #2169.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002915 * Fix propagation of restart contexts in restartable EC operations.
2916 This could previously lead to segmentation faults in builds using an
2917 address-sanitizer and enabling but not using MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE.
2918 * Fix memory leak in in mpi_miller_rabin(). Contributed by

2931 * Make `make clean` clean all programs always. Fixes #1862.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02002932 * Add a Dockerfile and helper scripts (all-in-docker.sh, basic-in-docker.sh,
2933 docker-env.sh) to simplify running test suites on a Linux host. Contributed
2934 by Peter Kolbus (Garmin).
2935 * Add `reproducible` option to `ssl_client2` and `ssl_server2` to enable
2936 test runs without variability. Contributed by Philippe Antoine (Catena
2937 cyber) in #2681.
2938 * Extended .gitignore to ignore Visual Studio artifacts. Fixed by ConfusedSushi.
2939 * Adds fuzz targets, especially for continuous fuzzing with OSS-Fuzz.
2940 Contributed by Philippe Antoine (Catena cyber).
2941 * Remove the crypto part of the library from Mbed TLS. The crypto
2942 code and tests are now only available via Mbed Crypto, which
2943 Mbed TLS references as a Git submodule.

2960 * It is now possible to use NIST key wrap mode via the mbedtls_cipher API.
2961 Contributed by Jack Lloyd and Fortanix Inc.
2962 * Add the Wi-SUN Field Area Network (FAN) device extended key usage.
2963 * Add the oid certificate policy x509 extension.
2964 * It is now possible to perform RSA PKCS v1.5 signatures with RIPEMD-160 digest.
2965 Contributed by Jack Lloyd and Fortanix Inc.
2966 * Extend the MBEDTLS_SSL_EXPORT_KEYS to export the handshake randbytes,
2967 and the used tls-prf.
2968 * Add public API for tls-prf function, according to requested enum.
2969 * Add support for parsing otherName entries in the Subject Alternative Name
2970 X.509 certificate extension, specifically type hardware module name,
2971 as defined in RFC 4108 section 5.
2972 * Add support for parsing certificate policies extension, as defined in
2973 RFC 5280 section 4.2.1.4. Currently, only the "Any Policy" policy is
2974 supported.
2975 * List all SAN types in the subject_alt_names field of the certificate.
2976 Resolves #459.
2977 * Add support for draft-05 of the Connection ID extension, as specified
2978 in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-dtls-connection-id-05.
2979 The Connection ID extension allows to keep DTLS connections beyond the
2980 lifetime of the underlying transport by adding a connection identifier
2981 to the DTLS record header. This identifier can be used to associated an
2982 incoming record with the correct connection data even after the peer has
2983 changed its IP or port. The feature is enabled at compile-time by setting
2984 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID (disabled by default), and at run-time
2985 through the new APIs mbedtls_ssl_conf_cid() and mbedtls_ssl_set_cid().

2993Bugfix
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002994 * Fix private key DER output in the key_app_writer example. File contents
2995 were shifted by one byte, creating an invalid ASN.1 tag. Fixed by
2996 Christian Walther in #2239.
2997 * Fix potential memory leak in X.509 self test. Found and fixed by
2998 Junhwan Park, #2106.
2999 * Reduce stack usage of hkdf tests. Fixes #2195.
3000 * Fix 1-byte buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_write_string() when
3001 used with negative inputs. Found by Guido Vranken in #2404. Credit to
3002 OSS-Fuzz.
3003 * Fix bugs in the AEAD test suite which would be exposed by ciphers which
3004 either used both encrypt and decrypt key schedules, or which perform padding.
3005 GCM and CCM were not affected. Fixed by Jack Lloyd.
3006 * Fix incorrect default port number in ssl_mail_client example's usage.

3009 Fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin). #2579
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02003010 * Add missing parentheses around parameters in the definition of the
3011 public macro MBEDTLS_X509_ID_FLAG. This could lead to invalid evaluation
3012 in case operators binding less strongly than subtraction were used
3013 for the parameter.
3014 * Add a check for MBEDTLS_X509_CRL_PARSE_C in ssl_server2, guarding the crl
3015 sni entry parameter. Reported by inestlerode in #560.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02003016 * Set the next sequence of the subject_alt_name to NULL when deleting

3020Changes
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02003021 * Server's RSA certificate in certs.c was SHA-1 signed. In the default
3022 mbedTLS configuration only SHA-2 signed certificates are accepted.
3023 This certificate is used in the demo server programs, which lead the
3024 client programs to fail at the peer's certificate verification
3025 due to an unacceptable hash signature. The certificate has been
3026 updated to one that is SHA-256 signed. Fix contributed by
3027 Illya Gerasymchuk.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02003028 * Return from various debugging routines immediately if the
3029 provided SSL context is unset.
3030 * Remove dead code from bignum.c in the default configuration.
3031 Found by Coverity, reported and fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin). Fixes #2309.
3032 * Add test for minimal value of MBEDTLS_MPI_WINDOW_SIZE to all.sh.

3039Features
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02003040 * Add a new X.509 API call `mbedtls_x509_parse_der_nocopy()`
3041 which allows copy-less parsing of DER encoded X.509 CRTs,
3042 at the cost of additional lifetime constraints on the input
3043 buffer, but at the benefit of reduced RAM consumption.
3044 * Add a new function mbedtls_asn1_write_named_bitstring() to write ASN.1
3045 named bitstring in DER as required by RFC 5280 Appendix B.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02003046 * Add MBEDTLS_REMOVE_3DES_CIPHERSUITES to allow removing 3DES ciphersuites
3047 from the default list (enabled by default). See
3048 https://sweet32.info/SWEET32_CCS16.pdf.
3049
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02003050API Changes
3051 * Add a new X.509 API call `mbedtls_x509_parse_der_nocopy()`.
3052 See the Features section for more information.
3053 * Allow to opt in to the removal the API mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()
3054 for the benefit of saving RAM, by disabling the new compile-time
3055 option MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE (enabled by default for
3056 API stability). Disabling this option makes mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()
3057 always return NULL, and removes the peer_cert field from the
3058 mbedtls_ssl_session structure which otherwise stores the peer's
3059 certificate.
3060
3061Security
3062 * Make mbedtls_ecdh_get_params return an error if the second key
3063 belongs to a different group from the first. Before, if an application
3064 passed keys that belonged to different group, the first key's data was
3065 interpreted according to the second group, which could lead to either
3066 an error or a meaningless output from mbedtls_ecdh_get_params. In the
3067 latter case, this could expose at most 5 bits of the private key.
3068
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02003069Bugfix
3070 * Fix a compilation issue with mbedtls_ecp_restart_ctx not being defined
3071 when MBEDTLS_ECP_ALT is defined. Reported by jwhui. Fixes #2242.
3072 * Run the AD too long test only if MBEDTLS_CCM_ALT is not defined.
3073 Raised as a comment in #1996.
3074 * Reduce the stack consumption of mbedtls_mpi_fill_random() which could
3075 previously lead to a stack overflow on constrained targets.
3076 * Add `MBEDTLS_SELF_TEST` for the mbedtls_self_test functions
3077 in the header files, which missed the precompilation check. #971
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02003078 * Fix returning the value 1 when mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey failed.
3079 * Remove a duplicate #include in a sample program. Fixed by Masashi Honma #2326.
3080 * Remove the mbedtls namespacing from the header file, to fix a "file not found"
3081 build error. Fixed by Haijun Gu #2319.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02003082 * Fix signed-to-unsigned integer conversion warning
3083 in X.509 module. Fixes #2212.
3084 * Reduce stack usage of `mpi_write_hlp()` by eliminating recursion.
3085 Fixes #2190.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02003086 * Fix false failure in all.sh when backup files exist in include/mbedtls
3087 (e.g. config.h.bak). Fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin) #2407.
3088 * Ensure that unused bits are zero when writing ASN.1 bitstrings when using
3089 mbedtls_asn1_write_bitstring().
3090 * Fix issue when writing the named bitstrings in KeyUsage and NsCertType
3091 extensions in CSRs and CRTs that caused these bitstrings to not be encoded
3092 correctly as trailing zeroes were not accounted for as unused bits in the
3093 leading content octet. Fixes #1610.

3095Changes
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02003096 * Reduce RAM consumption during session renegotiation by not storing
3097 the peer CRT chain and session ticket twice.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02003098 * Include configuration file in all header files that use configuration,
3099 instead of relying on other header files that they include.
3100 Inserted as an enhancement for #1371
3101 * Add support for alternative CSR headers, as used by Microsoft and defined
3102 in RFC 7468. Found by Michael Ernst. Fixes #767.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02003103 * Correct many misspellings. Fixed by MisterDA #2371.
3104 * Provide an abstraction of vsnprintf to allow alternative implementations
3105 for platforms that don't provide it. Based on contributions by Joris Aerts
3106 and Nathaniel Wesley Filardo.
3107 * Fix clobber list in MIPS assembly for large integer multiplication.
3108 Previously, this could lead to functionally incorrect assembly being
3109 produced by some optimizing compilers, showing up as failures in
3110 e.g. RSA or ECC signature operations. Reported in #1722, fix suggested
3111 by Aurelien Jarno and submitted by Jeffrey Martin.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02003112 * Reduce the complexity of the timing tests. They were assuming more than the
3113 underlying OS actually guarantees.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02003114 * Fix configuration queries in ssl-opt.h. #2030
3115 * Ensure that ssl-opt.h can be run in OS X. #2029
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02003116 * Re-enable certain interoperability tests in ssl-opt.sh which had previously
3117 been disabled for lack of a sufficiently recent version of GnuTLS on the CI.
3118 * Ciphersuites based on 3DES now have the lowest priority by default when
3119 they are enabled.

3122
3123Features
3124 * Add a new config.h option of MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS that enables validation
3125 of parameters in the API. This allows detection of obvious misuses of the
3126 API, such as passing NULL pointers. The API of existing functions hasn't
3127 changed, but requirements on parameters have been made more explicit in
3128 the documentation. See the corresponding API documentation for each
3129 function to see for which parameter values it is defined. This feature is
3130 disabled by default. See its API documentation in config.h for additional
3131 steps you have to take when enabling it.
3132
3133API Changes
3134 * The following functions in the random generator modules have been
3135 deprecated and replaced as shown below. The new functions change
3136 the return type from void to int to allow returning error codes when
3137 using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT for the underlying AES or message digest
3138 primitive. Fixes #1798.
3139 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update() -> mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret()
3140 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update() -> mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update_ret()
3141 * Extend ECDH interface to enable alternative implementations.
3142 * Deprecate error codes of the form MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx_INVALID_KEY_LENGTH for
3143 ARIA, CAMELLIA and Blowfish. These error codes will be replaced by
3144 the more generic per-module error codes MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx_BAD_INPUT_DATA.
3145 * Additional parameter validation checks have been added for the following
3146 modules - AES, ARIA, Blowfish, CAMELLIA, CCM, GCM, DHM, ECP, ECDSA, ECDH,
3147 ECJPAKE, SHA, Chacha20 and Poly1305, cipher, pk, RSA, and MPI.
3148 Where modules have had parameter validation added, existing parameter
3149 checks may have changed. Some modules, such as Chacha20 had existing
3150 parameter validation whereas other modules had little. This has now been
3151 changed so that the same level of validation is present in all modules, and
3152 that it is now optional with the MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS flag which by default
3153 is off. That means that checks which were previously present by default
3154 will no longer be.
3155
3156New deprecations
3157 * Deprecate mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update
3158 in favor of functions that can return an error code.

3162 assembly for AMD64 targets creating string literals greater than those
3163 permitted by the ISO C99 standard. Found by Aaron Jones. Fixes #482.
3164 * Fix runtime error in `mbedtls_platform_entropy_poll()` when run
3165 through qemu user emulation. Reported and fix suggested by randombit
3166 in #1212. Fixes #1212.
3167 * Fix an unsafe bounds check when restoring an SSL session from a ticket.
3168 This could lead to a buffer overflow, but only in case ticket authentication
3169 was broken. Reported and fix suggested by Guido Vranken in #659.
3170 * Add explicit integer to enumeration type casts to example program
3171 programs/pkey/gen_key which previously led to compilation failure
3172 on some toolchains. Reported by phoenixmcallister. Fixes #2170.
3173 * Fix double initialization of ECC hardware that made some accelerators

3199 * Fix timing variations and memory access variations in RSA PKCS#1 v1.5
3200 decryption that could lead to a Bleichenbacher-style padding oracle
3201 attack. In TLS, this affects servers that accept ciphersuites based on
3202 RSA decryption (i.e. ciphersuites whose name contains RSA but not
3203 (EC)DH(E)). Discovered by Eyal Ronen (Weizmann Institute), Robert Gillham
3204 (University of Adelaide), Daniel Genkin (University of Michigan),
3205 Adi Shamir (Weizmann Institute), David Wong (NCC Group), and Yuval Yarom
3206 (University of Adelaide, Data61). The attack is described in more detail
3207 in the paper available here: http://cat.eyalro.net/cat.pdf CVE-2018-19608
3208 * In mbedtls_mpi_write_binary(), don't leak the exact size of the number
3209 via branching and memory access patterns. An attacker who could submit
3210 a plaintext for RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 decryption but only observe the timing
3211 of the decryption and not its result could nonetheless decrypt RSA
3212 plaintexts and forge RSA signatures. Other asymmetric algorithms may
3213 have been similarly vulnerable. Reported by Eyal Ronen, Robert Gillham,
3214 Daniel Genkin, Adi Shamir, David Wong and Yuval Yarom.

3230 name and the CA's subject name differed in their string encoding (e.g.,
3231 one using PrintableString and the other UTF8String) or in the choice of
3232 upper and lower case. Reported by Henrik Andersson of Bosch GmbH in issue
3233 #1784.
3234 * Fix a flawed bounds check in server PSK hint parsing. In case the
3235 incoming message buffer was placed within the first 64KiB of address
3236 space and a PSK-(EC)DHE ciphersuite was used, this allowed an attacker
3237 to trigger a memory access up to 64KiB beyond the incoming message buffer,
3238 potentially leading to an application crash or information disclosure.
3239 * Fix mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() to use more rounds of probabilistic testing. The
3240 previous settings for the number of rounds made it practical for an
3241 adversary to construct non-primes that would be erroneously accepted as
3242 primes with high probability. This does not have an impact on the
3243 security of TLS, but can matter in other contexts with numbers chosen
3244 potentially by an adversary that should be prime and can be validated.
3245 For example, the number of rounds was enough to securely generate RSA key
3246 pairs or Diffie-Hellman parameters, but was insufficient to validate
3247 Diffie-Hellman parameters properly.

3249 Kenneth G. Paterson and Juraj Somorovsky.
3250
3251Features
3252 * Add support for temporarily suspending expensive ECC computations after
3253 some configurable amount of operations. This is intended to be used in
3254 constrained, single-threaded systems where ECC is time consuming and can
3255 block other operations until they complete. This is disabled by default,
3256 but can be enabled by MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE at compile time and
3257 configured by mbedtls_ecp_set_max_ops() at runtime. It applies to the new
3258 xxx_restartable functions in ECP, ECDSA, PK and X.509 (CRL not supported
3259 yet), and to existing functions in ECDH and SSL (currently only
3260 implemented client-side, for ECDHE-ECDSA ciphersuites in TLS 1.2,
3261 including client authentication).
3262 * Add support for Arm CPU DSP extensions to accelerate asymmetric key
3263 operations. On CPUs where the extensions are available, they can accelerate
3264 MPI multiplications used in ECC and RSA cryptography. Contributed by
3265 Aurelien Jarno.
3266 * Extend RSASSA-PSS signature to allow a smaller salt size. Previously, PSS
3267 signature always used a salt with the same length as the hash, and returned
3268 an error if this was not possible. Now the salt size may be up to two bytes
3269 shorter. This allows the library to support all hash and signature sizes
3270 that comply with FIPS 186-4, including SHA-512 with a 1024-bit key.
3271 * Add support for 128-bit keys in CTR_DRBG. Note that using keys shorter
3272 than 256 bits limits the security of generated material to 128 bits.
3273
3274API Changes
3275 * Add a common error code of `MBEDTLS_ERR_PLATFORM_FEATURE_UNSUPPORTED` for
3276 a feature that is not supported by underlying alternative
3277 implementations implementing cryptographic primitives. This is useful for
3278 hardware accelerators that don't implement all options or features.
3279
3280New deprecations
3281 * All module specific errors following the form
3282 MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE that indicate a feature is not
3283 supported are deprecated and are now replaced by the new equivalent
3284 platform error.
3285 * All module specific generic hardware acceleration errors following the
3286 form MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED that are deprecated and are replaced
3287 by the equivalent plaform error.
3288 * Deprecate the function mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() in favor of
3289 mbedtls_mpi_is_prime_ext() which allows specifying the number of
3290 Miller-Rabin rounds.
3291
3292Bugfix
3293 * Fix wrong order of freeing in programs/ssl/ssl_server2 example
3294 application leading to a memory leak in case both
3295 MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C and MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BACKTRACE are set.
3296 Fixes #2069.
3297 * Fix a bug in the update function for SSL ticket keys which previously
3298 invalidated keys of a lifetime of less than a 1s. Fixes #1968.
3299 * Fix failure in hmac_drbg in the benchmark sample application, when
3300 MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is defined. Found by TrinityTonic, #1095
3301 * Fix a bug in the record decryption routine ssl_decrypt_buf()
3302 which lead to accepting properly authenticated but improperly
3303 padded records in case of CBC ciphersuites using Encrypt-then-MAC.
3304 * Fix memory leak and freeing without initialization in the example
3305 program programs/x509/cert_write. Fixes #1422.
3306 * Ignore IV in mbedtls_cipher_set_iv() when the cipher mode is
3307 MBEDTLS_MODE_ECB. Found by ezdevelop. Fixes #1091.
3308 * Zeroize memory used for buffering or reassembling handshake messages
3309 after use.
3310 * Use `mbedtls_platform_zeroize()` instead of `memset()` for zeroization
3311 of sensitive data in the example programs aescrypt2 and crypt_and_hash.
3312 * Change the default string format used for various X.509 DN attributes to
3313 UTF8String. Previously, the use of the PrintableString format led to
3314 wildcards and non-ASCII characters being unusable in some DN attributes.
3315 Reported by raprepo in #1860 and by kevinpt in #468. Fix contributed by
3316 Thomas-Dee.
3317 * Fix compilation failure for configurations which use compile time
3318 replacements of standard calloc/free functions through the macros
3319 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_CALLOC_MACRO and MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_FREE_MACRO.
3320 Reported by ole-de and ddhome2006. Fixes #882, #1642 and #1706.
3321
3322Changes
3323 * Removed support for Yotta as a build tool.
3324 * Add tests for session resumption in DTLS.
3325 * Close a test gap in (D)TLS between the client side and the server side:
3326 test the handling of large packets and small packets on the client side
3327 in the same way as on the server side.
3328 * Change the dtls_client and dtls_server samples to work by default over
3329 IPv6 and optionally by a build option over IPv4.
3330 * Change the use of Windows threading to use Microsoft Visual C++ runtime
3331 calls, rather than Win32 API calls directly. This is necessary to avoid
3332 conflict with C runtime usage. Found and fixed by irwir.
3333 * Remember the string format of X.509 DN attributes when replicating
3334 X.509 DNs. Previously, DN attributes were always written in their default
3335 string format (mostly PrintableString), which could lead to CRTs being
3336 created which used PrintableStrings in the issuer field even though the
3337 signing CA used UTF8Strings in its subject field; while X.509 compliant,
3338 such CRTs were rejected in some applications, e.g. some versions of
3339 Firefox, curl and GnuTLS. Reported in #1033 by Moschn. Fix contributed by
3340 Thomas-Dee.
3341 * Improve documentation of mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result().
3342 Fixes #517 reported by github-monoculture.
3343 * Add MBEDTLS_MPI_GEN_PRIME_FLAG_LOW_ERR flag to mbedtls_mpi_gen_prime() and
3344 use it to reduce error probability in RSA key generation to levels mandated
3345 by FIPS-186-4.
3346
3347= mbed TLS 2.13.1 branch released 2018-09-06
3348
3349API Changes
3350 * Extend the platform module with an abstraction mbedtls_platform_gmtime_r()
3351 whose implementation should behave as a thread-safe version of gmtime().
3352 This allows users to configure such an implementation at compile time when
3353 the target system cannot be deduced automatically, by setting the option
3354 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_GMTIME_R_ALT. At this stage Mbed TLS is only able to
3355 automatically select implementations for Windows and POSIX C libraries.
3356
3357Bugfix
3358 * Fix build failures on platforms where only gmtime() is available but
3359 neither gmtime_r() nor gmtime_s() are present. Fixes #1907.

3363Security
3364 * Fix an issue in the X.509 module which could lead to a buffer overread
3365 during certificate extensions parsing. In case of receiving malformed
3366 input (extensions length field equal to 0), an illegal read of one byte
3367 beyond the input buffer is made. Found and analyzed by Nathan Crandall.
3368
3369Features
3370 * Add support for fragmentation of outgoing DTLS handshake messages. This
3371 is controlled by the maximum fragment length as set locally or negotiated
3372 with the peer, as well as by a new per-connection MTU option, set using
3373 mbedtls_ssl_set_mtu().
3374 * Add support for auto-adjustment of MTU to a safe value during the
3375 handshake when flights do not get through (RFC 6347, section 4.1.1.1,
3376 last paragraph).
3377 * Add support for packing multiple records within a single datagram,
3378 enabled by default.
3379 * Add support for buffering out-of-order handshake messages in DTLS.
3380 The maximum amount of RAM used for this can be controlled by the
3381 compile-time constant MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_MAX_BUFFERING defined
3382 in mbedtls/config.h.
3383
3384API Changes
3385 * Add function mbedtls_ssl_set_datagram_packing() to configure
3386 the use of datagram packing (enabled by default).
3387
3388Bugfix
3389 * Fix a potential memory leak in mbedtls_ssl_setup() function. An allocation
3390 failure in the function could lead to other buffers being leaked.
3391 * Fixes an issue with MBEDTLS_CHACHAPOLY_C which would not compile if
3392 MBEDTLS_ARC4_C and MBEDTLS_CIPHER_NULL_CIPHER weren't also defined. #1890
3393 * Fix a memory leak in ecp_mul_comb() if ecp_precompute_comb() fails.
3394 Fix contributed by Espressif Systems.
3395 * Add ecc extensions only if an ecc based ciphersuite is used.
3396 This improves compliance to RFC 4492, and as a result, solves
3397 interoperability issues with BouncyCastle. Raised by milenamil in #1157.
3398 * Replace printf with mbedtls_printf in the ARIA module. Found by
3399 TrinityTonic in #1908.
3400 * Fix potential use-after-free in mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len()
3401 and mbedtls_ssl_get_record_expansion() after a session reset. Fixes #1941.
3402 * Fix a bug that caused SSL/TLS clients to incorrectly abort the handshake
3403 with TLS versions 1.1 and earlier when the server requested authentication
3404 without providing a list of CAs. This was due to an overly strict bounds
3405 check in parsing the CertificateRequest message,
3406 introduced in Mbed TLS 2.12.0. Fixes #1954.
3407 * Fix a miscalculation of the maximum record expansion in
3408 mbedtls_ssl_get_record_expansion() in case of ChachaPoly ciphersuites,
3409 or CBC ciphersuites in (D)TLS versions 1.1 or higher. Fixes #1913, #1914.
3410 * Fix undefined shifts with negative values in certificates parsing
3411 (found by Catena cyber using oss-fuzz)
3412 * Fix memory leak and free without initialization in pk_encrypt
3413 and pk_decrypt example programs. Reported by Brace Stout. Fixes #1128.
3414 * Remove redundant else statement. Raised by irwir. Fixes #1776.
3415

3417 * Copy headers preserving timestamps when doing a "make install".
3418 Contributed by xueruini.
3419 * Allow the forward declaration of public structs. Contributed by Dawid
3420 Drozd. Fixes #1215 raised by randombit.
3421 * Improve compatibility with some alternative CCM implementations by using
3422 CCM test vectors from RAM.
3423 * Add support for buffering of out-of-order handshake messages.
3424 * Add warnings to the documentation of the HKDF module to reduce the risk
3425 of misusing the mbedtls_hkdf_extract() and mbedtls_hkdf_expand()
3426 functions. Fixes #1775. Reported by Brian J. Murray.

3430Security
3431 * Fix a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based on CBC and using SHA-384,
3432 in (D)TLS 1.0 to 1.2, that allowed an active network attacker to
3433 partially recover the plaintext of messages under some conditions by
3434 exploiting timing measurements. With DTLS, the attacker could perform
3435 this recovery by sending many messages in the same connection. With TLS
3436 or if mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only
3437 worked if the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly
3438 sent over connections manipulated by the attacker. Connections using GCM
3439 or CCM instead of CBC, using hash sizes other than SHA-384, or using
3440 Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected. The vulnerability was
3441 caused by a miscalculation (for SHA-384) in a countermeasure to the
3442 original Lucky 13 attack. Found by Kenny Paterson, Eyal Ronen and Adi
3443 Shamir.
3444 * Fix a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based on CBC, in (D)TLS 1.0 to
3445 1.2, that allowed a local attacker, able to execute code on the local
3446 machine as well as manipulate network packets, to partially recover the
3447 plaintext of messages under some conditions by using a cache attack
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02003448 targeting an internal MD/SHA buffer. With TLS or if
Jens Wiklander3d3b0592019-03-20 15:30:29 +01003449 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only worked if
3450 the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly sent over
3451 connections manipulated by the attacker. Connections using GCM or CCM
3452 instead of CBC or using Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected.
3453 Found by Kenny Paterson, Eyal Ronen and Adi Shamir.
3454 * Add a counter-measure against a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based
3455 on CBC, in (D)TLS 1.0 to 1.2, that allowed a local attacker, able to
3456 execute code on the local machine as well as manipulate network packets,
3457 to partially recover the plaintext of messages under some conditions (see
3458 previous entry) by using a cache attack targeting the SSL input record
3459 buffer. Connections using GCM or CCM instead of CBC or using
3460 Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected. Found by Kenny Paterson,
3461 Eyal Ronen and Adi Shamir.

3464 * Add new crypto primitives from RFC 7539: stream cipher Chacha20, one-time
3465 authenticator Poly1305 and AEAD construct Chacha20-Poly1305. Contributed
3466 by Daniel King.
3467 * Add support for CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites from RFC 7905.
3468 * Add platform support for the Haiku OS. (https://www.haiku-os.org).
3469 Contributed by Augustin Cavalier.
3470 * Make the receive and transmit buffers independent sizes, for situations
3471 where the outgoing buffer can be fixed at a smaller size than the incoming
3472 buffer, which can save some RAM. If buffer lengths are kept equal, there
3473 is no functional difference. Contributed by Angus Gratton, and also
3474 independently contributed again by Paul Sokolovsky.
3475 * Add support for key wrapping modes based on AES as defined by
3476 NIST SP 800-38F algorithms KW and KWP and by RFC 3394 and RFC 5649.
3477

3488 Philippe Antoine. Fixes #1623.
3489 * Remove unused headers included in x509.c. Found by Chris Hanson and fixed
3490 by Brendan Shanks. Part of a fix for #992.
3491 * Fix compilation error when MBEDTLS_ARC4_C is disabled and
3492 MBEDTLS_CIPHER_NULL_CIPHER is enabled. Found by TrinityTonic in #1719.
3493 * Added length checks to some TLS parsing functions. Found and fixed by
3494 Philippe Antoine from Catena cyber. #1663.
3495 * Fix the inline assembly for the MPI multiply helper function for i386 and
3496 i386 with SSE2. Found by László Langó. Fixes #1550
3497 * Fix namespacing in header files. Remove the `mbedtls` namespacing in
3498 the `#include` in the header files. Resolves #857
3499 * Fix compiler warning of 'use before initialisation' in
3500 mbedtls_pk_parse_key(). Found by Martin Boye Petersen and fixed by Dawid
3501 Drozd. #1098
3502 * Fix decryption for zero length messages (which contain all padding) when a
3503 CBC based ciphersuite is used together with Encrypt-then-MAC. Previously,
3504 such a message was wrongly reported as an invalid record and therefore lead
3505 to the connection being terminated. Seen most often with OpenSSL using
3506 TLS 1.0. Reported by @kFYatek and by Conor Murphy on the forum. Fix
3507 contributed by Espressif Systems. Fixes #1632
3508 * Fix ssl_client2 example to send application data with 0-length content
3509 when the request_size argument is set to 0 as stated in the documentation.
3510 Fixes #1833.
3511 * Correct the documentation for `mbedtls_ssl_get_session()`. This API has
3512 deep copy of the session, and the peer certificate is not lost. Fixes #926.

3536 Contributed by Aorimn in pull request #414.
3537 * In TLS servers, support offloading private key operations to an external
3538 cryptoprocessor. Private key operations can be asynchronous to allow
3539 non-blocking operation of the TLS server stack.
3540
3541Bugfix
3542 * Fix the cert_write example to handle certificates signed with elliptic
3543 curves as well as RSA. Fixes #777 found by dbedev.
3544 * Fix for redefinition of _WIN32_WINNT to avoid overriding a definition
3545 used by user applications. Found and fixed by Fabio Alessandrelli.

3562API Changes
3563 * Extend the platform module with a util component that contains
3564 functionality shared by multiple Mbed TLS modules. At this stage
3565 platform_util.h (and its associated platform_util.c) only contain
3566 mbedtls_platform_zeroize(), which is a critical function from a security
3567 point of view. mbedtls_platform_zeroize() needs to be regularly tested
3568 against compilers to ensure that calls to it are not removed from the
3569 output binary as part of redundant code elimination optimizations.
3570 Therefore, mbedtls_platform_zeroize() is moved to the platform module to
3571 facilitate testing and maintenance.
3572

3584Security
3585 * Fix an issue in the X.509 module which could lead to a buffer overread
3586 during certificate validation. Additionally, the issue could also lead to
3587 unnecessary callback checks being made or to some validation checks to be
3588 omitted. The overread could be triggered remotely, while the other issues
3589 would require a non DER-compliant certificate to be correctly signed by a
3590 trusted CA, or a trusted CA with a non DER-compliant certificate. Found by
3591 luocm. Fixes #825.
3592 * Fix the buffer length assertion in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
3593 function which led to an arbitrary overread of the message buffer. The
3594 overreads could be caused by receiving a malformed message at the point
3595 where an optional signature algorithms list is expected when the signature
3596 algorithms section is too short. In builds with debug output, the overread
3597 data is output with the debug data.
3598 * Fix a client-side bug in the validation of the server's ciphersuite choice
3599 which could potentially lead to the client accepting a ciphersuite it didn't
3600 offer or a ciphersuite that cannot be used with the TLS or DTLS version
3601 chosen by the server. This could lead to corruption of internal data
3602 structures for some configurations.

3606 tables during runtime, thereby reducing the RAM/ROM footprint by ~6KiB.
3607 Suggested and contributed by jkivilin in pull request #394.
3608 * Add initial support for Curve448 (RFC 7748). Only mbedtls_ecp_mul() and
3609 ECDH primitive functions (mbedtls_ecdh_gen_public(),
3610 mbedtls_ecdh_compute_shared()) are supported for now. Contributed by

3614 * Extend the public API with the function of mbedtls_net_poll() to allow user
3615 applications to wait for a network context to become ready before reading
3616 or writing.
3617 * Add function mbedtls_ssl_check_pending() to the public API to allow
3618 a check for whether more more data is pending to be processed in the
3619 internal message buffers.
3620 This function is necessary to determine when it is safe to idle on the

3631 * Add missing dependencies for MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE and
3632 MBEDTLS_VERSION_FEATURES in some test suites. Contributed by
3633 Deomid Ryabkov. Fixes #1299, #1475.
3634 * Fix the Makefile build process for building shared libraries on Mac OS X.
3635 Fixed by mnacamura.
3636 * Fix parsing of PKCS#8 encoded Elliptic Curve keys. Previously Mbed TLS was
3637 unable to parse keys which had only the optional parameters field of the
3638 ECPrivateKey structure. Found by Jethro Beekman, fixed in #1379.
3639 * Return the plaintext data more quickly on unpadded CBC decryption, as
3640 stated in the mbedtls_cipher_update() documentation. Contributed by
3641 Andy Leiserson.
3642 * Fix overriding and ignoring return values when parsing and writing to
3643 a file in pk_sign program. Found by kevlut in #1142.
3644 * Restrict usage of error code MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_READ to situations
3645 where data needs to be fetched from the underlying transport in order
3646 to make progress. Previously, this error code was also occasionally
3647 returned when unexpected messages were being discarded, ignoring that
3648 further messages could potentially already be pending to be processed
3649 in the internal buffers; these cases led to deadlocks when event-driven
3650 I/O was used. Found and reported by Hubert Mis in #772.
3651 * Fix buffer length assertions in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
3652 function which leads to a potential one byte overread of the message
3653 buffer.
3654 * Fix invalid buffer sizes passed to zlib during record compression and
3655 decompression.
3656 * Fix the soversion of libmbedcrypto to match the soversion of the
3657 maintained 2.7 branch. The soversion was increased in Mbed TLS
3658 version 2.7.1 to reflect breaking changes in that release, but the
3659 increment was missed in 2.8.0 and later releases outside of the 2.7 branch.

3661Changes
3662 * Remove some redundant code in bignum.c. Contributed by Alexey Skalozub.
3663 * Support cmake builds where Mbed TLS is a subproject. Fix contributed
3664 independently by Matthieu Volat and Arne Schwabe.
3665 * Improve testing in configurations that omit certain hashes or
3666 public-key algorithms. Includes contributions by Gert van Dijk.
3667 * Improve negative testing of X.509 parsing.
3668 * Do not define global mutexes around readdir() and gmtime() in
3669 configurations where the feature is disabled. Found and fixed by Gergely
3670 Budai.
3671 * Harden the function mbedtls_ssl_config_free() against misuse, so that it
3672 doesn't leak memory if the user doesn't use mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk() and
3673 instead incorrectly manipulates the configuration structure directly.
3674 Found and fix submitted by junyeonLEE in #1220.
3675 * Provide an empty implementation of mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() when
3676 MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C is not enabled. This allows the use of PBKDF2
3677 without PBES2. Fixed by Marcos Del Sol Vives.
3678 * Add the order of the base point as N in the mbedtls_ecp_group structure
3679 for Curve25519 (other curves had it already). Contributed by Nicholas
3680 Wilson #481
3681 * Improve the documentation of mbedtls_net_accept(). Contributed by Ivan
3682 Krylov.
3683 * Improve the documentation of mbedtls_ssl_write(). Suggested by
3684 Paul Sokolovsky in #1356.
3685 * Add an option in the Makefile to support ar utilities where the operation
3686 letter must not be prefixed by '-', such as LLVM. Found and fixed by
3687 Alex Hixon.
3688 * Allow configuring the shared library extension by setting the DLEXT
3689 environment variable when using the project makefiles.
3690 * Optimize unnecessary zeroing in mbedtls_mpi_copy. Based on a contribution
3691 by Alexey Skalozub in #405.
3692 * In the SSL module, when f_send, f_recv or f_recv_timeout report
3693 transmitting more than the required length, return an error. Raised by
3694 Sam O'Connor in #1245.
3695 * Improve robustness of mbedtls_ssl_derive_keys against the use of
3696 HMAC functions with non-HMAC ciphersuites. Independently contributed
3697 by Jiayuan Chen in #1377. Fixes #1437.
3698 * Improve security of RSA key generation by including criteria from
3699 FIPS 186-4. Contributed by Jethro Beekman. #1380
3700 * Declare functions in header files even when an alternative implementation
3701 of the corresponding module is activated by defining the corresponding
3702 MBEDTLS_XXX_ALT macro. This means that alternative implementations do
3703 not need to copy the declarations, and ensures that they will have the
3704 same API.
3705 * Add platform setup and teardown calls in test suites.

3708
3709Default behavior changes
3710 * The truncated HMAC extension now conforms to RFC 6066. This means
3711 that when both sides of a TLS connection negotiate the truncated
3712 HMAC extension, Mbed TLS can now interoperate with other
3713 compliant implementations, but this breaks interoperability with
3714 prior versions of Mbed TLS. To restore the old behavior, enable
3715 the (deprecated) option MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC_COMPAT in
3716 config.h. Found by Andreas Walz (ivESK, Offenburg University of
3717 Applied Sciences).
3718
3719Security
3720 * Fix implementation of the truncated HMAC extension. The previous
3721 implementation allowed an offline 2^80 brute force attack on the
3722 HMAC key of a single, uninterrupted connection (with no
3723 resumption of the session).
3724 * Verify results of RSA private key operations to defend
3725 against Bellcore glitch attack.
3726 * Fix a buffer overread in ssl_parse_server_key_exchange() that could cause
3727 a crash on invalid input.
3728 * Fix a buffer overread in ssl_parse_server_psk_hint() that could cause a
3729 crash on invalid input.
3730 * Fix CRL parsing to reject CRLs containing unsupported critical
3731 extensions. Found by Falko Strenzke and Evangelos Karatsiolis.
3732
3733Features
3734 * Extend PKCS#8 interface by introducing support for the entire SHA
3735 algorithms family when encrypting private keys using PKCS#5 v2.0.
3736 This allows reading encrypted PEM files produced by software that
3737 uses PBKDF2-SHA2, such as OpenSSL 1.1. Submitted by Antonio Quartulli,
3738 OpenVPN Inc. Fixes #1339
3739 * Add support for public keys encoded in PKCS#1 format. #1122
3740

3742 * Deprecate support for record compression (configuration option
3743 MBEDTLS_ZLIB_SUPPORT).

3745Bugfix
3746 * Fix the name of a DHE parameter that was accidentally changed in 2.7.0.
3747 Fixes #1358.
3748 * Fix test_suite_pk to work on 64-bit ILP32 systems. #849
3749 * Fix mbedtls_x509_crt_profile_suiteb, which used to reject all certificates
3750 with flag MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_BAD_PK even when the key type was correct.
3751 In the context of SSL, this resulted in handshake failure. Reported by
3752 daniel in the Mbed TLS forum. #1351
3753 * Fix Windows x64 builds with the included mbedTLS.sln file. #1347
3754 * Fix setting version TLSv1 as minimal version, even if TLS 1
3755 is not enabled. Set MBEDTLS_SSL_MIN_MAJOR_VERSION
3756 and MBEDTLS_SSL_MIN_MINOR_VERSION instead of
3757 MBEDTLS_SSL_MAJOR_VERSION_3 and MBEDTLS_SSL_MINOR_VERSION_1. #664
3758 * Fix compilation error on Mingw32 when _TRUNCATE is defined. Use _TRUNCATE
3759 only if __MINGW32__ not defined. Fix suggested by Thomas Glanzmann and
3760 Nick Wilson on issue #355
3761 * In test_suite_pk, pass valid parameters when testing for hash length
3762 overflow. #1179
3763 * Fix memory allocation corner cases in memory_buffer_alloc.c module. Found
3764 by Guido Vranken. #639
3765 * Log correct number of ciphersuites used in Client Hello message. #918
3766 * Fix X509 CRT parsing that would potentially accept an invalid tag when
3767 parsing the subject alternative names.
3768 * Fix a possible arithmetic overflow in ssl_parse_server_key_exchange()
3769 that could cause a key exchange to fail on valid data.
3770 * Fix a possible arithmetic overflow in ssl_parse_server_psk_hint() that
3771 could cause a key exchange to fail on valid data.
3772 * Don't define mbedtls_aes_decrypt and mbedtls_aes_encrypt under
3773 MBEDTLS_DEPRECATED_REMOVED. #1388
3774 * Fix a 1-byte heap buffer overflow (read-only) during private key parsing.
3775 Found through fuzz testing.

3780 * Fix typo in a comment ctr_drbg.c. Contributed by Paul Sokolovsky.
3781 * Remove support for the library reference configuration for picocoin.
3782 * MD functions deprecated in 2.7.0 are no longer inline, to provide
3783 a migration path for those depending on the library's ABI.
3784 * Clarify the documentation of mbedtls_ssl_setup.
3785 * Use (void) when defining functions with no parameters. Contributed by

3790Security
3791 * Fix a heap corruption issue in the implementation of the truncated HMAC
3792 extension. When the truncated HMAC extension is enabled and CBC is used,
3793 sending a malicious application packet could be used to selectively corrupt
3794 6 bytes on the peer's heap, which could potentially lead to crash or remote
3795 code execution. The issue could be triggered remotely from either side in
3796 both TLS and DTLS. CVE-2018-0488
3797 * Fix a buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the hash was too large
3798 for the key size, which could potentially lead to crash or remote code
3799 execution. Found by Seth Terashima, Qualcomm Product Security Initiative,
3800 Qualcomm Technologies Inc. CVE-2018-0487
3801 * Fix buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the unmasked data is all
3802 zeros.
3803 * Fix an unsafe bounds check in ssl_parse_client_psk_identity() when adding
3804 64 KiB to the address of the SSL buffer and causing a wrap around.
3805 * Fix a potential heap buffer overflow in mbedtls_ssl_write(). When the (by
3806 default enabled) maximum fragment length extension is disabled in the
3807 config and the application data buffer passed to mbedtls_ssl_write
3808 is larger than the internal message buffer (16384 bytes by default), the
3809 latter overflows. The exploitability of this issue depends on whether the
3810 application layer can be forced into sending such large packets. The issue
3811 was independently reported by Tim Nordell via e-mail and by Florin Petriuc
3812 and sjorsdewit on GitHub. Fix proposed by Florin Petriuc in #1022.
3813 Fixes #707.
3814 * Add a provision to prevent compiler optimizations breaking the time
3815 constancy of mbedtls_ssl_safer_memcmp().
3816 * Ensure that buffers are cleared after use if they contain sensitive data.
3817 Changes were introduced in multiple places in the library.
3818 * Set PEM buffer to zero before freeing it, to avoid decoded private keys
3819 being leaked to memory after release.
3820 * Fix dhm_check_range() failing to detect trivial subgroups and potentially
3821 leaking 1 bit of the private key. Reported by prashantkspatil.
3822 * Make mbedtls_mpi_read_binary() constant-time with respect to the input
3823 data. Previously, trailing zero bytes were detected and omitted for the
3824 sake of saving memory, but potentially leading to slight timing
3825 differences. Reported by Marco Macchetti, Kudelski Group.
3826 * Wipe stack buffer temporarily holding EC private exponent
3827 after keypair generation.
3828 * Fix a potential heap buffer over-read in ALPN extension parsing
3829 (server-side). Could result in application crash, but only if an ALPN
3830 name larger than 16 bytes had been configured on the server.
3831 * Change default choice of DHE parameters from untrustworthy RFC 5114
3832 to RFC 3526 containing parameters generated in a nothing-up-my-sleeve
3833 manner.
3834
3835Features
3836 * Allow comments in test data files.
3837 * The selftest program can execute a subset of the tests based on command
3838 line arguments.
3839 * New unit tests for timing. Improve the self-test to be more robust
3840 when run on a heavily-loaded machine.
3841 * Add alternative implementation support for CCM and CMAC (MBEDTLS_CCM_ALT,
3842 MBEDTLS_CMAC_ALT). Submitted by Steven Cooreman, Silicon Labs.
3843 * Add support for alternative implementations of GCM, selected by the
3844 configuration flag MBEDTLS_GCM_ALT.
3845 * Add support for alternative implementations for ECDSA, controlled by new
3846 configuration flags MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT, MBEDTLS_ECDSA_VERIFY_ALT and
3847 MBEDTLS_ECDSDA_GENKEY_AT in config.h.
3848 The following functions from the ECDSA module can be replaced
3849 with alternative implementation:
3850 mbedtls_ecdsa_sign(), mbedtls_ecdsa_verify() and mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey().
3851 * Add support for alternative implementation of ECDH, controlled by the
3852 new configuration flags MBEDTLS_ECDH_COMPUTE_SHARED_ALT and
3853 MBEDTLS_ECDH_GEN_PUBLIC_ALT in config.h.
3854 The following functions from the ECDH module can be replaced
3855 with an alternative implementation:
3856 mbedtls_ecdh_gen_public() and mbedtls_ecdh_compute_shared().
3857 * Add support for alternative implementation of ECJPAKE, controlled by
3858 the new configuration flag MBEDTLS_ECJPAKE_ALT.
3859 * Add mechanism to provide alternative implementation of the DHM module.
3860
3861API Changes
3862 * Extend RSA interface by multiple functions allowing structure-
3863 independent setup and export of RSA contexts. Most notably,
3864 mbedtls_rsa_import() and mbedtls_rsa_complete() are introduced for setting
3865 up RSA contexts from partial key material and having them completed to the
3866 needs of the implementation automatically. This allows to setup private RSA
3867 contexts from keys consisting of N,D,E only, even if P,Q are needed for the
3868 purpose or CRT and/or blinding.
3869 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_RSA_ALT can be used to define alternative
3870 implementations of the RSA interface declared in rsa.h.
3871 * The following functions in the message digest modules (MD2, MD4, MD5,
3872 SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) have been deprecated and replaced as shown below.
3873 The new functions change the return type from void to int to allow
3874 returning error codes when using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT.
3875 mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts_ret()
3876 mbedtls_<MODULE>_update() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_update_ret()
3877 mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish_ret()
3878 mbedtls_<MODULE>_process() -> mbedtls_internal_<MODULE>_process()
3879
3880New deprecations
3881 * Deprecate usage of RSA primitives with non-matching key-type
3882 (e.g. signing with a public key).
3883 * Direct manipulation of structure fields of RSA contexts is deprecated.
3884 Users are advised to use the extended RSA API instead.
3885 * Deprecate usage of message digest functions that return void
3886 (mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts, mbedtls_<MODULE>_update,
3887 mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish and mbedtls_<MODULE>_process where <MODULE> is
3888 any of MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) in favor of functions
3889 that can return an error code.
3890 * Deprecate untrustworthy DHE parameters from RFC 5114. Superseded by
3891 parameters from RFC 3526 or the newly added parameters from RFC 7919.
3892 * Deprecate hex string DHE constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P etc.
3893 Supserseded by binary encoded constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P_BIN
3894 etc.
3895 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param() for setting default DHE parameters
3896 from hex strings. Superseded by mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param_bin()
3897 accepting DHM parameters in binary form, matching the new constants.
3898
3899Bugfix
3900 * Fix ssl_parse_record_header() to silently discard invalid DTLS records
3901 as recommended in RFC 6347 Section 4.1.2.7.
3902 * Fix memory leak in mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname() when called multiple times.
3903 Found by projectgus and Jethro Beekman, #836.
3904 * Fix usage help in ssl_server2 example. Found and fixed by Bei Lin.
Jens Wiklander817466c2018-05-22 13:49:31 +02003905 * Parse signature algorithm extension when renegotiating. Previously,
3906 renegotiated handshakes would only accept signatures using SHA-1
3907 regardless of the peer's preferences, or fail if SHA-1 was disabled.
Jens Wiklander3d3b0592019-03-20 15:30:29 +01003908 * Fix leap year calculation in x509_date_is_valid() to ensure that invalid
3909 dates on leap years with 100 and 400 intervals are handled correctly. Found
3910 by Nicholas Wilson. #694
3911 * Fix some invalid RSA-PSS signatures with keys of size 8N+1 that were
3912 accepted. Generating these signatures required the private key.
3913 * Fix out-of-memory problem when parsing 4096-bit PKCS8-encrypted RSA keys.
3914 Found independently by Florian in the mbed TLS forum and by Mishamax.
3915 #878, #1019.
3916 * Fix variable used before assignment compilation warnings with IAR
3917 toolchain. Found by gkerrien38.
3918 * Fix unchecked return codes from AES, DES and 3DES functions in
3919 pem_aes_decrypt(), pem_des_decrypt() and pem_des3_decrypt() respectively.
3920 If a call to one of the functions of the cryptographic primitive modules
3921 failed, the error may not be noticed by the function
3922 mbedtls_pem_read_buffer() causing it to return invalid values. Found by
3923 Guido Vranken. #756
3924 * Include configuration file in md.h, to fix compilation warnings.
3925 Reported by aaronmdjones in #1001
3926 * Correct extraction of signature-type from PK instance in X.509 CRT and CSR
3927 writing routines that prevented these functions to work with alternative
3928 RSA implementations. Raised by J.B. in the Mbed TLS forum. Fixes #1011.
3929 * Don't print X.509 version tag for v1 CRT's, and omit extensions for
3930 non-v3 CRT's.
3931 * Fix bugs in RSA test suite under MBEDTLS_NO_PLATFORM_ENTROPY. #1023 #1024
3932 * Fix net_would_block() to avoid modification by errno through fcntl() call.
3933 Found by nkolban. Fixes #845.
3934 * Fix handling of handshake messages in mbedtls_ssl_read() in case
3935 MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION is disabled. Found by erja-gp.
3936 * Add a check for invalid private parameters in mbedtls_ecdsa_sign().
3937 Reported by Yolan Romailler.
3938 * Fix word size check in in pk.c to not depend on MBEDTLS_HAVE_INT64.
3939 * Fix incorrect unit in benchmark output. #850
3940 * Add size-checks for record and handshake message content, securing
3941 fragile yet non-exploitable code-paths.
3942 * Fix crash when calling mbedtls_ssl_cache_free() twice. Found by
3943 MilenkoMitrovic, #1104
3944 * Fix mbedtls_timing_alarm(0) on Unix and MinGW.
3945 * Fix use of uninitialized memory in mbedtls_timing_get_timer() when reset=1.
3946 * Fix possible memory leaks in mbedtls_gcm_self_test().
3947 * Added missing return code checks in mbedtls_aes_self_test().
3948 * Fix issues in RSA key generation program programs/x509/rsa_genkey and the
3949 RSA test suite where the failure of CTR DRBG initialization lead to
3950 freeing an RSA context and several MPI's without proper initialization
3951 beforehand.
3952 * Fix error message in programs/pkey/gen_key.c. Found and fixed by Chris Xue.
3953 * Fix programs/pkey/dh_server.c so that it actually works with dh_client.c.
3954 Found and fixed by Martijn de Milliano.
3955 * Fix an issue in the cipher decryption with the mode
3956 MBEDTLS_PADDING_ONE_AND_ZEROS that sometimes accepted invalid padding.
3957 Note, this padding mode is not used by the TLS protocol. Found and fixed by
3958 Micha Kraus.
3959 * Fix the entropy.c module to not call mbedtls_sha256_starts() or
3960 mbedtls_sha512_starts() in the mbedtls_entropy_init() function.
3961 * Fix the entropy.c module to ensure that mbedtls_sha256_init() or
3962 mbedtls_sha512_init() is called before operating on the relevant context
3963 structure. Do not assume that zeroizing a context is a correct way to
3964 reset it. Found independently by ccli8 on Github.
3965 * In mbedtls_entropy_free(), properly free the message digest context.
3966 * Fix status handshake status message in programs/ssl/dtls_client.c. Found
3967 and fixed by muddog.
3968
3969Changes
3970 * Extend cert_write example program by options to set the certificate version
3971 and the message digest. Further, allow enabling/disabling of authority
3972 identifier, subject identifier and basic constraints extensions.
3973 * Only check for necessary RSA structure fields in `mbedtls_rsa_private`. In
3974 particular, don't require P,Q if neither CRT nor blinding are
3975 used. Reported and fix proposed independently by satur9nine and sliai
3976 on GitHub.
3977 * Only run AES-192 self-test if AES-192 is available. Fixes #963.
3978 * Tighten the RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification code and remove the
3979 undeclared dependency of the RSA module on the ASN.1 module.
3980 * Update all internal usage of deprecated message digest functions to the
3981 new ones with return codes. In particular, this modifies the
3982 mbedtls_md_info_t structure. Propagate errors from these functions
3983 everywhere except some locations in the ssl_tls.c module.
3984 * Improve CTR_DRBG error handling by propagating underlying AES errors.
3985 * Add MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED error codes for all cryptography
3986 modules where the software implementation can be replaced by a hardware
3987 implementation.
3988 * Add explicit warnings for the use of MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA-1, DES and ARC4
3989 throughout the library.

3993Security
3994 * Fix authentication bypass in SSL/TLS: when authmode is set to optional,
3995 mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result() would incorrectly return 0 when the peer's
3996 X.509 certificate chain had more than MBEDTLS_X509_MAX_INTERMEDIATE_CA
3997 (default: 8) intermediates, even when it was not trusted. This could be
3998 triggered remotely from either side. (With authmode set to 'required'
3999 (the default), the handshake was correctly aborted).
4000 * Reliably wipe sensitive data after use in the AES example applications
4001 programs/aes/aescrypt2 and programs/aes/crypt_and_hash.
4002 Found by Laurent Simon.
4003
4004Features
4005 * Add the functions mbedtls_platform_setup() and mbedtls_platform_teardown()
4006 and the context struct mbedtls_platform_context to perform
4007 platform-specific setup and teardown operations. The macro
4008 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETUP_TEARDOWN_ALT allows the functions to be overridden
4009 by the user in a platform_alt.h file. These new functions are required in
4010 some embedded environments to provide a means of initialising underlying
4011 cryptographic acceleration hardware.
4012
4013API Changes
4014 * Reverted API/ABI breaking changes introduced in mbed TLS 2.5.1, to make the
4015 API consistent with mbed TLS 2.5.0. Specifically removed the inline
4016 qualifier from the functions mbedtls_aes_decrypt, mbedtls_aes_encrypt,
4017 mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_uses_ec and mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_uses_psk. Found
4018 by James Cowgill. #978
4019 * Certificate verification functions now set flags to -1 in case the full
4020 chain was not verified due to an internal error (including in the verify

4026Bugfix
4027 * Add a check if iv_len is zero in GCM, and return an error if it is zero.
4028 Reported by roberto. #716
4029 * Replace preprocessor condition from #if defined(MBEDTLS_THREADING_PTHREAD)
4030 to #if defined(MBEDTLS_THREADING_C) as the library cannot assume they will
4031 always be implemented by pthread support. #696
4032 * Fix a resource leak on Windows platforms in mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path(),
4033 in the case of an error. Found by redplait. #590
4034 * Add MBEDTLS_MPI_CHK to check for error value of mbedtls_mpi_fill_random.
4035 Reported and fix suggested by guidovranken. #740
4036 * Fix conditional preprocessor directives in bignum.h to enable 64-bit
4037 compilation when using ARM Compiler 6.
4038 * Fix a potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
4039 encoded X.509 CRLs. The overflow could enable maliciously constructed CRLs
4040 to bypass the version verification check. Found by Peng Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin,
4041 KNOX Security, Samsung Research America
4042 * Fix potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
4043 encoded X.509 CSRs. The overflow could enable maliciously constructed CSRs

4050 function mbedtls_time() instead. Found by wairua. #666
4051 * Avoid shadowing of time and index functions through mbed TLS function
4052 arguments. Found by inestlerode. #557.
4053
4054Changes
4055 * Added config.h option MBEDTLS_NO_UDBL_DIVISION, to prevent the use of
4056 64-bit division. This is useful on embedded platforms where 64-bit division
4057 created a dependency on external libraries. #708
4058 * Removed mutexes from ECP hardware accelerator code. Now all hardware
4059 accelerator code in the library leaves concurrency handling to the
4060 platform. Reported by Steven Cooreman. #863
4061 * Define the macro MBEDTLS_AES_ROM_TABLES in the configuration file
4062 config-no-entropy.h to reduce the RAM footprint.
4063 * Added a test script that can be hooked into git that verifies commits
4064 before they are pushed.
4065 * Improve documentation of PKCS1 decryption functions.

4070 * Fixed unlimited overread of heap-based buffer in mbedtls_ssl_read().
4071 The issue could only happen client-side with renegotiation enabled.
4072 Could result in DoS (application crash) or information leak
4073 (if the application layer sent data read from mbedtls_ssl_read()
4074 back to the server or to a third party). Can be triggered remotely.
4075 * Removed SHA-1 and RIPEMD-160 from the default hash algorithms for
4076 certificate verification. SHA-1 can be turned back on with a compile-time
4077 option if needed.
4078 * Fixed offset in FALLBACK_SCSV parsing that caused TLS server to fail to
4079 detect it sometimes. Reported by Hugo Leisink. #810
4080 * Tighten parsing of RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures, to avoid a
4081 potential Bleichenbacher/BERserk-style attack.
4082
4083Bugfix
4084 * Remove size zero arrays from ECJPAKE test suite. Size zero arrays are not
4085 valid C and they prevented the test from compiling in Visual Studio 2015
4086 and with GCC using the -Wpedantic compilation option.
4087 * Fix insufficient support for signature-hash-algorithm extension,
4088 resulting in compatibility problems with Chrome. Found by hfloyrd. #823
4089 * Fix behaviour that hid the original cause of fatal alerts in some cases
4090 when sending the alert failed. The fix makes sure not to hide the error
4091 that triggered the alert.
4092 * Fix SSLv3 renegotiation behaviour and stop processing data received from
4093 peer after sending a fatal alert to refuse a renegotiation attempt.
4094 Previous behaviour was to keep processing data even after the alert has
4095 been sent.
4096 * Accept empty trusted CA chain in authentication mode

4099 fatal errors in authentication mode MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL and to
4100 reflect bad EC curves within verification result.
4101 * Fix bug that caused the modular inversion function to accept the invalid
4102 modulus 1 and therefore to hang. Found by blaufish. #641.
4103 * Fix incorrect sign computation in modular exponentiation when the base is
4104 a negative MPI. Previously the result was always negative. Found by Guido
4105 Vranken.
4106 * Fix a numerical underflow leading to stack overflow in mpi_read_file()
4107 that was triggered uppon reading an empty line. Found by Guido Vranken.
4108
4109Changes
4110 * Send fatal alerts in more cases. The previous behaviour was to skip
4111 sending the fatal alert and just drop the connection.
4112 * Clarify ECDSA documentation and improve the sample code to avoid
4113 misunderstanding and potentially dangerous use of the API. Pointed out

4128Features
4129 * Add hardware acceleration support for the Elliptic Curve Point module.
4130 This involved exposing parts of the internal interface to enable
4131 replacing the core functions and adding and alternative, module level
4132 replacement support for enabling the extension of the interface.
4133 * Add a new configuration option to 'mbedtls_ssl_config' to enable
4134 suppressing the CA list in Certificate Request messages. The default
4135 behaviour has not changed, namely every configured CAs name is included.
4136
4137API Changes
4138 * The following functions in the AES module have been deprecated and replaced
4139 by the functions shown below. The new functions change the return type from
4140 void to int to allow returning error codes when using MBEDTLS_AES_ALT,
4141 MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT_ALT or MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT_ALT.

4147 recent versions of the library. Found by Kyle Keen.
4148 * Fixed issue in the Threading module that prevented mutexes from
4149 initialising. Found by sznaider. #667 #843
4150 * Add checks in the PK module for the RSA functions on 64-bit systems.
4151 The PK and RSA modules use different types for passing hash length and
4152 without these checks the type cast could lead to data loss. Found by Guido
4153 Vranken.

4158 * Add checks to prevent signature forgeries for very large messages while
4159 using RSA through the PK module in 64-bit systems. The issue was caused by
4160 some data loss when casting a size_t to an unsigned int value in the
4161 functions rsa_verify_wrap(), rsa_sign_wrap(), rsa_alt_sign_wrap() and
4162 mbedtls_pk_sign(). Found by Jean-Philippe Aumasson.
4163 * Fixed potential livelock during the parsing of a CRL in PEM format in
4164 mbedtls_x509_crl_parse(). A string containing a CRL followed by trailing
4165 characters after the footer could result in the execution of an infinite
4166 loop. The issue can be triggered remotely. Found by Greg Zaverucha,
4167 Microsoft.
4168 * Removed MD5 from the allowed hash algorithms for CertificateRequest and
4169 CertificateVerify messages, to prevent SLOTH attacks against TLS 1.2.
4170 Introduced by interoperability fix for #513.
4171 * Fixed a bug that caused freeing a buffer that was allocated on the stack,
4172 when verifying the validity of a key on secp224k1. This could be
4173 triggered remotely for example with a maliciously constructed certificate
4174 and potentially could lead to remote code execution on some platforms.

4178Bugfix
4179 * Fix output certificate verification flags set by x509_crt_verify_top() when
4180 traversing a chain of trusted CA. The issue would cause both flags,
4181 MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_NOT_TRUSTED and MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_EXPIRED, to be
4182 set when the verification conditions are not met regardless of the cause.
4183 Found by Harm Verhagen and inestlerode. #665 #561

4187 * Fix unused variable/function compilation warnings in pem.c, x509_crt.c and
4188 x509_csr.c that are reported when building mbed TLS with a config.h that
4189 does not define MBEDTLS_PEM_PARSE_C. Found by omnium21. #562
4190 * Fix incorrect renegotiation condition in ssl_check_ctr_renegotiate() that
4191 would compare 64 bits of the record counter instead of 48 bits as indicated
4192 in RFC 6347 Section 4.3.1. This could cause the execution of the
4193 renegotiation routines at unexpected times when the protocol is DTLS. Found

4436 * Added fix for CVE-2015-5291 to prevent heap corruption due to buffer
4437 overflow of the hostname or session ticket. Found by Guido Vranken,
4438 Intelworks.
4439 * Fix potential double-free if mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk() is called more than
4440 once in the same handhake and mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk() was used.
4441 Found and patch provided by Guido Vranken, Intelworks. Cannot be forced
4442 remotely.
4443 * Fix stack buffer overflow in pkcs12 decryption (used by
4444 mbedtls_pk_parse_key(file)() when the password is > 129 bytes.
4445 Found by Guido Vranken, Intelworks. Not triggerable remotely.
4446 * Fix potential buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_read_string().
4447 Found by Guido Vranken, Intelworks. Not exploitable remotely in the context
4448 of TLS, but might be in other uses. On 32 bit machines, requires reading a
4449 string of close to or larger than 1GB to exploit; on 64 bit machines, would
4450 require reading a string of close to or larger than 2^62 bytes.
4451 * Fix potential random memory allocation in mbedtls_pem_read_buffer()
4452 on crafted PEM input data. Found and fix provided by Guido Vranken,
4453 Intelworks. Not triggerable remotely in TLS. Triggerable remotely if you
4454 accept PEM data from an untrusted source.
4455 * Fix possible heap buffer overflow in base64_encoded() when the input
4456 buffer is 512MB or larger on 32-bit platforms. Found by Guido Vranken,
4457 Intelworks. Not trigerrable remotely in TLS.
4458 * Fix potential double-free if mbedtls_conf_psk() is called repeatedly on
4459 the same mbedtls_ssl_config object and memory allocation fails. Found by
4460 Guido Vranken, Intelworks. Cannot be forced remotely.
4461 * Fix potential heap buffer overflow in servers that perform client
4462 authentication against a crafted CA cert. Cannot be triggered remotely
4463 unless you allow third parties to pick trust CAs for client auth.

4498 (MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_HELLO_VERIFY defined in config.h, and usable cookie
4499 callbacks set with mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_cookies()), this will be
4500 detected and mbedtls_ssl_read() will return

4558 * Support for DTLS 1.0 and 1.2 (RFC 6347).
4559 * Ability to override core functions from MDx, SHAx, AES and DES modules
4560 with custom implementation (eg hardware accelerated), complementing the
4561 ability to override the whole module.
4562 * New server-side implementation of session tickets that rotate keys to
4563 preserve forward secrecy, and allows sharing across multiple contexts.
4564 * Added a concept of X.509 cerificate verification profile that controls
4565 which algorithms and key sizes (curves for ECDSA) are acceptable.
4566 * Expanded configurability of security parameters in the SSL module with
4567 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dhm_min_bitlen() and mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_hashes().
4568 * Introduced a concept of presets for SSL security-relevant configuration
4569 parameters.
4570
4571API Changes
4572 * The library has been split into libmbedcrypto, libmbedx509, libmbedtls.
4573 You now need to link to all of them if you use TLS for example.
4574 * All public identifiers moved to the mbedtls_* or MBEDTLS_* namespace.
4575 Some names have been further changed to make them more consistent.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02004576 Migration helpers scripts/rename.pl and include/mbedtls/compat-1.3.h are
Jens Wiklander817466c2018-05-22 13:49:31 +02004577 provided. Full list of renamings in scripts/data_files/rename-1.3-2.0.txt
4578 * Renamings of fields inside structures, not covered by the previous list:
4579 mbedtls_cipher_info_t.key_length -> key_bitlen
4580 mbedtls_cipher_context_t.key_length -> key_bitlen
4581 mbedtls_ecp_curve_info.size -> bit_size
4582 * Headers are now found in the 'mbedtls' directory (previously 'polarssl').
4583 * The following _init() functions that could return errors have
4584 been split into an _init() that returns void and another function that
4585 should generally be the first function called on this context after init:
4586 mbedtls_ssl_init() -> mbedtls_ssl_setup()
4587 mbedtls_ccm_init() -> mbedtls_ccm_setkey()
4588 mbedtls_gcm_init() -> mbedtls_gcm_setkey()
4589 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_init() -> mbedtls_hmac_drbg_seed(_buf)()
4590 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_init() -> mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed()
4591 Note that for mbedtls_ssl_setup(), you need to be done setting up the
4592 ssl_config structure before calling it.
4593 * Most ssl_set_xxx() functions (all except ssl_set_bio(), ssl_set_hostname(),
4594 ssl_set_session() and ssl_set_client_transport_id(), plus
4595 ssl_legacy_renegotiation()) have been renamed to mbedtls_ssl_conf_xxx()
4596 (see rename.pl and compat-1.3.h above) and their first argument's type
4597 changed from ssl_context to ssl_config.
4598 * ssl_set_bio() changed signature (contexts merged, order switched, one
4599 additional callback for read-with-timeout).
4600 * The following functions have been introduced and must be used in callback
4601 implementations (SNI, PSK) instead of their *conf counterparts:
4602 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_own_cert()
4603 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_ca_chain()
4604 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk()
4605 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_ca_chain() lost its last argument (peer_cn), now set
4606 using mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname().
4607 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_cache() changed prototype (only one context
4608 pointer, parameters reordered).
4609 * On server, mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets_cb() must now be used in
4610 place of mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets() to enable session tickets.
4611 * The SSL debug callback gained two new arguments (file name, line number).
4612 * Debug modes were removed.
4613 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_truncated_hmac() now returns void.
4614 * mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_init() now returns void.
4615 * X.509 verification flags are now an uint32_t. Affect the signature of:
4616 mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result()
4617 mbedtls_x509_ctr_verify_info()
4618 mbedtls_x509_crt_verify() (flags, f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
4619 mbedtls_ssl_conf_verify() (f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
4620 * The following functions changed prototype to avoid an in-out length
4621 parameter:
4622 mbedtls_base64_encode()
4623 mbedtls_base64_decode()
4624 mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
4625 mbedtls_dhm_calc_secret()
4626 * In the NET module, all "int" and "int *" arguments for file descriptors
4627 changed type to "mbedtls_net_context *".
4628 * net_accept() gained new arguments for the size of the client_ip buffer.
4629 * In the threading layer, mbedtls_mutex_init() and mbedtls_mutex_free() now
4630 return void.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02004631 * ecdsa_write_signature() gained an additional md_alg argument and
Jens Wiklander817466c2018-05-22 13:49:31 +02004632 ecdsa_write_signature_det() was deprecated.
4633 * pk_sign() no longer accepts md_alg == POLARSSL_MD_NONE with ECDSA.
4634 * Last argument of x509_crt_check_key_usage() and
4635 mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_key_usage() changed from int to unsigned.
4636 * test_ca_list (from certs.h) is renamed to test_cas_pem and is only
4637 available if POLARSSL_PEM_PARSE_C is defined (it never worked without).
4638 * Test certificates in certs.c are no longer guaranteed to be nul-terminated
4639 strings; use the new *_len variables instead of strlen().
4640 * Functions mbedtls_x509_xxx_parse(), mbedtls_pk_parse_key(),
4641 mbedtls_pk_parse_public_key() and mbedtls_dhm_parse_dhm() now expect the
4642 length parameter to include the terminating null byte for PEM input.
4643 * Signature of mpi_mul_mpi() changed to make the last argument unsigned
4644 * calloc() is now used instead of malloc() everywhere. API of platform
4645 layer and the memory_buffer_alloc module changed accordingly.
4646 (Thanks to Mansour Moufid for helping with the replacement.)
4647 * Change SSL_DISABLE_RENEGOTIATION config.h flag to SSL_RENEGOTIATION
4648 (support for renegotiation now needs explicit enabling in config.h).
4649 * Split MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME into MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME and MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE
4650 in config.h
4651 * net_connect() and net_bind() have a new 'proto' argument to choose
4652 between TCP and UDP, using the macros NET_PROTO_TCP or NET_PROTO_UDP.
4653 Their 'port' argument type is changed to a string.
4654 * Some constness fixes
4655
4656Removals
4657 * Removed mbedtls_ecp_group_read_string(). Only named groups are supported.
4658 * Removed mbedtls_ecp_sub() and mbedtls_ecp_add(), use
4659 mbedtls_ecp_muladd().
4660 * Removed individual mdX_hmac, shaX_hmac, mdX_file and shaX_file functions
4661 (use generic functions from md.h)
4662 * Removed mbedtls_timing_msleep(). Use mbedtls_net_usleep() or a custom
4663 waiting function.
4664 * Removed test DHM parameters from the test certs module.
4665 * Removed the PBKDF2 module (use PKCS5).
4666 * Removed POLARSSL_ERROR_STRERROR_BC (use mbedtls_strerror()).
4667 * Removed compat-1.2.h (helper for migrating from 1.2 to 1.3).
4668 * Removed openssl.h (very partial OpenSSL compatibility layer).
4669 * Configuration options POLARSSL_HAVE_LONGLONG was removed (now always on).
4670 * Configuration options POLARSSL_HAVE_INT8 and POLARSSL_HAVE_INT16 have
4671 been removed (compiler is required to support 32-bit operations).
4672 * Configuration option POLARSSL_HAVE_IPV6 was removed (always enabled).
4673 * Removed test program o_p_test, the script compat.sh does more.
4674 * Removed test program ssl_test, superseded by ssl-opt.sh.
4675 * Removed helper script active-config.pl
4676
4677New deprecations
4678 * md_init_ctx() is deprecated in favour of md_setup(), that adds a third
4679 argument (allowing memory savings if HMAC is not used)
4680
4681Semi-API changes (technically public, morally private)
4682 * Renamed a few headers to include _internal in the name. Those headers are
4683 not supposed to be included by users.
4684 * Changed md_info_t into an opaque structure (use md_get_xxx() accessors).
4685 * Changed pk_info_t into an opaque structure.
4686 * Changed cipher_base_t into an opaque structure.
4687 * Removed sig_oid2 and rename sig_oid1 to sig_oid in x509_crt and x509_crl.
4688 * x509_crt.key_usage changed from unsigned char to unsigned int.
4689 * Removed r and s from ecdsa_context
4690 * Removed mode from des_context and des3_context
4691
4692Default behavior changes
4693 * The default minimum TLS version is now TLS 1.0.
4694 * RC4 is now blacklisted by default in the SSL/TLS layer, and excluded from the
4695 default ciphersuite list returned by ssl_list_ciphersuites()
4696 * Support for receiving SSLv2 ClientHello is now disabled by default at
4697 compile time.
4698 * The default authmode for SSL/TLS clients is now REQUIRED.
4699 * Support for RSA_ALT contexts in the PK layer is now optional. Since is is
4700 enabled in the default configuration, this is only noticeable if using a
4701 custom config.h
4702 * Default DHM parameters server-side upgraded from 1024 to 2048 bits.
4703 * A minimum RSA key size of 2048 bits is now enforced during ceritificate
4704 chain verification.
4705 * Negotiation of truncated HMAC is now disabled by default on server too.
4706 * The following functions are now case-sensitive:
4707 mbedtls_cipher_info_from_string()
4708 mbedtls_ecp_curve_info_from_name()
4709 mbedtls_md_info_from_string()
4710 mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_from_string()
4711 mbedtls_version_check_feature()
4712
4713Requirement changes
4714 * The minimum MSVC version required is now 2010 (better C99 support).
4715 * The NET layer now unconditionnaly relies on getaddrinfo() and select().
4716 * Compiler is required to support C99 types such as long long and uint32_t.
4717
4718API changes from the 1.4 preview branch
4719 * ssl_set_bio_timeout() was removed, split into mbedtls_ssl_set_bio() with
4720 new prototype, and mbedtls_ssl_set_read_timeout().
4721 * The following functions now return void:
4722 mbedtls_ssl_conf_transport()
4723 mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version()
4724 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version()
4725 * DTLS no longer hard-depends on TIMING_C, but uses a callback interface
4726 instead, see mbedtls_ssl_set_timer_cb(), with the Timing module providing
4727 an example implementation, see mbedtls_timing_delay_context and
4728 mbedtls_timing_set/get_delay().
4729 * With UDP sockets, it is no longer necessary to call net_bind() again
4730 after a successful net_accept().
4731
4732Changes
4733 * mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random() and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_random() are now
4734 thread-safe if MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled.
4735 * Reduced ROM fooprint of SHA-256 and added an option to reduce it even
4736 more (at the expense of performance) MBEDTLS_SHA256_SMALLER.

4758 layer (helps get rid of unwanted references).
4759 * Improved Makefiles for Windows targets by fixing library targets and making
4760 cross-compilation easier (thanks to Alon Bar-Lev).
4761 * The benchmark program also prints heap usage for public-key primitives
4762 if POLARSSL_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C and POLARSSL_MEMORY_DEBUG are defined.
4763 * New script ecc-heap.sh helps measuring the impact of ECC parameters on
4764 speed and RAM (heap only for now) usage.
4765 * New script memory.sh helps measuring the ROM and RAM requirements of two
4766 reduced configurations (PSK-CCM and NSA suite B).
4767 * Add config flag POLARSSL_DEPRECATED_WARNING (off by default) to produce
4768 warnings on use of deprecated functions (with GCC and Clang only).

4941 standard defining how to use SHA-2 with SSL 3.0).
4942 * Ciphersuites using RSA-PSK key exchange new require TLS 1.x (the spec is
4943 ambiguous on how to encode some packets with SSL 3.0).

5845 x509parse_crtfile(). With permissive parsing the parsing does not stop on
5846 encountering a parse-error. Beware that the meaning of return values has
5847 changed!

5895 better unsigned / signed use. Renamed internal bigint types
5896 t_int and t_dbl to t_uint and t_udbl in the process
5897 * mpi_init() and mpi_free() now only accept a single MPI
5898 argument and do not accept variable argument lists anymore.
5899 * The error codes have been remapped and combining error codes
5900 is now done with a PLUS instead of an OR as error codes
5901 used are negative.
5902 * Changed behaviour of net_read(), ssl_fetch_input() and ssl_recv().
5903 net_recv() now returns 0 on EOF instead of
5904 POLARSSL_ERR_NET_CONN_RESET. ssl_fetch_input() returns
5905 POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_CONN_EOF on an EOF from its f_recv() function.
5906 ssl_read() returns 0 if a POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_CONN_EOF is received
5907 after the handshake.
5908 * Network functions now return POLARSSL_ERR_NET_WANT_READ or
5909 POLARSSL_ERR_NET_WANT_WRITE instead of the ambiguous
5910 POLARSSL_ERR_NET_TRY_AGAIN

5921Changes
5922 * Debug print of MPI now removes leading zero octets and
5923 displays actual bit size of the value.
5924 * x509parse_key() (and as a consequence x509parse_keyfile())
5925 does not zeroize memory in advance anymore. Use rsa_init()
5926 before parsing a key or keyfile!
5927
5928Bugfix
5929 * Debug output of MPI's now the same independent of underlying
5930 platform (32-bit / 64-bit) (Fixes ticket #19, found by Mads

6152
6153 * Added support for ciphersuite: SSL_RSA_AES_128_SHA
6154 * Enabled support for large files by default in aescrypt2.c
6155 * Preliminary openssl wrapper contributed by David Barrett
6156 * Fixed a bug in ssl_write() that caused the same payload to
6157 be sent twice in non-blocking mode when send returns EAGAIN
6158 * Fixed ssl_parse_client_hello(): session id and challenge must
6159 not be swapped in the SSLv2 ClientHello (found by Greg Robson)
6160 * Added user-defined callback debug function (Krystian Kolodziej)
6161 * Before freeing a certificate, properly zero out all cert. data
6162 * Fixed the "mode" parameter so that encryption/decryption are
6163 not swapped on PadLock; also fixed compilation on older versions
6164 of gcc (bug reported by David Barrett)
6165 * Correctly handle the case in padlock_xcryptcbc() when input or
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02006166 output data is non-aligned by falling back to the software
Jens Wiklander817466c2018-05-22 13:49:31 +02006167 implementation, as VIA Nehemiah cannot handle non-aligned buffers
6168 * Fixed a memory leak in x509parse_crt() which was reported by Greg
6169 Robson-Garth; some x509write.c fixes by Pascal Vizeli, thanks to
6170 Matthew Page who reported several bugs
6171 * Fixed x509_get_ext() to accept some rare certificates which have
6172 an INTEGER instead of a BOOLEAN for BasicConstraints::cA.
6173 * Added support on the client side for the TLS "hostname" extension
6174 (patch contributed by David Patino)

6180 selftest and benchmark to not test ciphers that have been disabled
6181 * Updated x509parse_cert_info() to correctly display byte 0 of the
6182 serial number, setup correct server port in the ssl client example
6183 * Fixed a critical denial-of-service with X.509 cert. verification:
6184 peer may cause xyssl to loop indefinitely by sending a certificate
6185 for which the RSA signature check fails (bug reported by Benoit)
6186 * Added test vectors for: AES-CBC, AES-CFB, DES-CBC and 3DES-CBC,
6187 HMAC-MD5, HMAC-SHA1, HMAC-SHA-256, HMAC-SHA-384, and HMAC-SHA-512

6191 as the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of Bleichenbacher's attack
6192 * Updated rsa_gen_key() so that ctx->N is always nbits in size
6193 * Fixed assembly PPC compilation errors on Mac OS X, thanks to
6194 David Barrett and Dusan Semen
