6 * Fix potential memory overread when performing an ECDSA signature
7 operation. The overread only happens with cryptographically low
8 probability (of the order of 2^-n where n is the bitsize of the curve)
9 unless the RNG is broken, and could result in information disclosure or
10 denial of service (application crash or extra resource consumption).
11 Found by Auke Zeilstra and Peter Schwabe, using static analysis.
12 * To avoid a side channel vulnerability when parsing an RSA private key,
13 read all the CRT parameters from the DER structure rather than
14 reconstructing them. Found by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Bob
15 Brumley. Reported and fix contributed by Jack Lloyd.
16 ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#352

18Bugfix
19 * Fix an unchecked call to mbedtls_md() in the x509write module.
20 * Fix a bug in mbedtls_pk_parse_key() that would cause it to accept some
21 RSA keys that would later be rejected by functions expecting private
22 keys. Found by Catena cyber using oss-fuzz (issue 20467).
23 * Fix a bug in mbedtls_pk_parse_key() that would cause it to accept some
24 RSA keys with invalid values by silently fixing those values.

26= mbed TLS 2.16.4 branch released 2020-01-15
27
28Security
29 * Fix side channel vulnerability in ECDSA. Our bignum implementation is not
30 constant time/constant trace, so side channel attacks can retrieve the
31 blinded value, factor it (as it is smaller than RSA keys and not guaranteed
32 to have only large prime factors), and then, by brute force, recover the
33 key. Reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Brumley.
34 * Zeroize local variables in mbedtls_internal_aes_encrypt() and
35 mbedtls_internal_aes_decrypt() before exiting the function. The value of
36 these variables can be used to recover the last round key. To follow best
37 practice and to limit the impact of buffer overread vulnerabilities (like
38 Heartbleed) we need to zeroize them before exiting the function.
39 Issue reported by Tuba Yavuz, Farhaan Fowze, Ken (Yihang) Bai,
40 Grant Hernandez, and Kevin Butler (University of Florida) and
41 Dave Tian (Purdue University).
42 * Fix side channel vulnerability in ECDSA key generation. Obtaining precise
43 timings on the comparison in the key generation enabled the attacker to
44 learn leading bits of the ephemeral key used during ECDSA signatures and to
45 recover the private key. Reported by Jeremy Dubeuf.
46 * Catch failure of AES functions in mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random(). Uncaught
47 failures could happen with alternative implementations of AES. Bug
48 reported and fix proposed by Johan Uppman Bruce and Christoffer Lauri,
49 Sectra.
50
51Bugfix
52 * Remove redundant line for getting the bitlen of a bignum, since the variable
53 holding the returned value is overwritten a line after.
54 Found by irwir in #2377.
55 * Support mbedtls_hmac_drbg_set_entropy_len() and
56 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_entropy_len() before the DRBG is seeded. Before,
57 the initial seeding always reset the entropy length to the compile-time
58 default.
59
60Changes
61 * Add unit tests for AES-GCM when called through mbedtls_cipher_auth_xxx()
62 from the cipher abstraction layer. Fixes #2198.
63 * Clarify how the interface of the CTR_DRBG and HMAC modules relates to
64 NIST SP 800-90A. In particular CTR_DRBG requires an explicit nonce
65 to achieve a 256-bit strength if MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_FORCE_SHA256 is set.
66
67= mbed TLS 2.16.3 branch released 2019-09-06
68
69Security
70 * Fix a missing error detection in ECJPAKE. This could have caused a
71 predictable shared secret if a hardware accelerator failed and the other
72 side of the key exchange had a similar bug.
73 * The deterministic ECDSA calculation reused the scheme's HMAC-DRBG to
74 implement blinding. Because of this for the same key and message the same
75 blinding value was generated. This reduced the effectiveness of the
76 countermeasure and leaked information about the private key through side
77 channels. Reported by Jack Lloyd.
78 * When writing a private EC key, use a constant size for the private
79 value, as specified in RFC 5915. Previously, the value was written
80 as an ASN.1 INTEGER, which caused the size of the key to leak
81 about 1 bit of information on average and could cause the value to be
82 1 byte too large for the output buffer.
83
84API Changes
85 * The new function mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det_ext() is similar to
86 mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det() but allows passing an external RNG for the
87 purpose of blinding.
88
89Bugfix
90 * Fix to allow building test suites with any warning that detects unused
91 functions. Fixes #1628.
92 * Fix typo in net_would_block(). Fixes #528 reported by github-monoculture.
93 * Remove redundant include file in timing.c. Fixes #2640 reported by irwir.
94 * Fix Visual Studio Release x64 build configuration by inheriting
95 PlatformToolset from the project configuration. Fixes #1430 reported by
96 irwir.
97 * Enable Suite B with subset of ECP curves. Make sure the code compiles even
98 if some curves are not defined. Fixes #1591 reported by dbedev.
99 * Fix misuse of signed arithmetic in the HAVEGE module. #2598
100 * Update test certificates that were about to expire. Reported by
101 Bernhard M. Wiedemann in #2357.
102 * Fix the build on ARMv5TE in ARM mode to not use assembly instructions
103 that are only available in Thumb mode. Fix contributed by Aurelien Jarno
104 in #2169.
105 * Fix undefined memset(NULL) call in test_suite_nist_kw.
106 * Make NV seed test support MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_FORCE_SHA256.
107 * Fix propagation of restart contexts in restartable EC operations.
108 This could previously lead to segmentation faults in builds using an
109 address-sanitizer and enabling but not using MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE.
110 * Fix memory leak in in mpi_miller_rabin(). Contributed by
111 Jens Wiklander <jens.wiklander@linaro.org> in #2363
112 * Improve code clarity in x509_crt module, removing false-positive
113 uninitialized variable warnings on some recent toolchains (GCC8, etc).
114 Discovered and fixed by Andy Gross (Linaro), #2392.
115 * Zero length buffer check for undefined behavior in
116 mbedtls_platform_zeroize(). Fixes ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#49.
117 * Fix bug in endianness conversion in bignum module. This lead to
118 functionally incorrect code on bigendian systems which don't have
119 __BYTE_ORDER__ defined. Reported by Brendan Shanks. Fixes #2622.
120
121Changes
122 * Make it easier to define MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED as assert (which config.h
123 suggests). #2671
124 * Make `make clean` clean all programs always. Fixes #1862.
125
126= mbed TLS 2.16.2 branch released 2019-06-11
127
128Security
129 * Make mbedtls_ecdh_get_params return an error if the second key
130 belongs to a different group from the first. Before, if an application
131 passed keys that belonged to different group, the first key's data was
132 interpreted according to the second group, which could lead to either
133 an error or a meaningless output from mbedtls_ecdh_get_params. In the
134 latter case, this could expose at most 5 bits of the private key.
135
136Bugfix
137 * Server's RSA certificate in certs.c was SHA-1 signed. In the default
138 mbedTLS configuration only SHA-2 signed certificates are accepted.
139 This certificate is used in the demo server programs, which lead the
140 client programs to fail at the peer's certificate verification
141 due to an unacceptable hash signature. The certificate has been
142 updated to one that is SHA-256 signed. Fix contributed by
143 Illya Gerasymchuk.
144 * Fix private key DER output in the key_app_writer example. File contents
145 were shifted by one byte, creating an invalid ASN.1 tag. Fixed by
146 Christian Walther in #2239.
147 * Fix potential memory leak in X.509 self test. Found and fixed by
148 Junhwan Park, #2106.
149 * Reduce stack usage of hkdf tests. Fixes #2195.
150 * Fix 1-byte buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_write_string() when
151 used with negative inputs. Found by Guido Vranken in #2404. Credit to
152 OSS-Fuzz.
153 * Fix bugs in the AEAD test suite which would be exposed by ciphers which
154 either used both encrypt and decrypt key schedules, or which perform padding.
155 GCM and CCM were not affected. Fixed by Jack Lloyd.
156 * Fix incorrect default port number in ssl_mail_client example's usage.
157 Found and fixed by irwir. #2337
158 * Add missing parentheses around parameters in the definition of the
159 public macro MBEDTLS_X509_ID_FLAG. This could lead to invalid evaluation
160 in case operators binding less strongly than subtraction were used
161 for the parameter.
162 * Add a check for MBEDTLS_X509_CRL_PARSE_C in ssl_server2, guarding the crl
163 sni entry parameter. Reported by inestlerode in #560.
164 * Add DER-encoded test CRTs to library/certs.c, allowing
165 the example programs ssl_server2 and ssl_client2 to be run
166 if MBEDTLS_FS_IO and MBEDTLS_PEM_PARSE_C are unset. Fixes #2254.
167 * Fix missing bounds checks in X.509 parsing functions that could
168 lead to successful parsing of ill-formed X.509 CRTs. Fixes #2437.
169 * Fix multiple X.509 functions previously returning ASN.1 low-level error
170 codes to always wrap these codes into X.509 high level error codes before
171 returning. Fixes #2431.
172
173Changes
174 * Return from various debugging routines immediately if the
175 provided SSL context is unset.
176 * Remove dead code from bignum.c in the default configuration.
177 Found by Coverity, reported and fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin). Fixes #2309.
178 * Add test for minimal value of MBEDTLS_MPI_WINDOW_SIZE to all.sh.
179 Contributed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin).
180 * Change wording in the `mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_frag_len()`'s documentation to
181 improve clarity. Fixes #2258.
182 * Replace multiple uses of MD2 by SHA-256 in X.509 test suite. Fixes #821.
183
184= mbed TLS 2.16.1 branch released 2019-03-19
185
186Features
187 * Add MBEDTLS_REMOVE_3DES_CIPHERSUITES to allow removing 3DES ciphersuites
188 from the default list (enabled by default). See
189 https://sweet32.info/SWEET32_CCS16.pdf.
190
191Bugfix
192 * Fix a compilation issue with mbedtls_ecp_restart_ctx not being defined
193 when MBEDTLS_ECP_ALT is defined. Reported by jwhui. Fixes #2242.
194 * Run the AD too long test only if MBEDTLS_CCM_ALT is not defined.
195 Raised as a comment in #1996.
196 * Reduce the stack consumption of mbedtls_mpi_fill_random() which could
197 previously lead to a stack overflow on constrained targets.
198 * Add `MBEDTLS_SELF_TEST` for the mbedtls_self_test functions
199 in the header files, which missed the precompilation check. #971
200 * Fix clobber list in MIPS assembly for large integer multiplication.
201 Previously, this could lead to functionally incorrect assembly being
202 produced by some optimizing compilers, showing up as failures in
203 e.g. RSA or ECC signature operations. Reported in #1722, fix suggested
204 by Aurelien Jarno and submitted by Jeffrey Martin.
205 * Fix signed-to-unsigned integer conversion warning
206 in X.509 module. Fixes #2212.
207 * Reduce stack usage of `mpi_write_hlp()` by eliminating recursion.
208 Fixes #2190.
209 * Remove a duplicate #include in a sample program. Fixed by Masashi Honma #2326.
210 * Remove the mbedtls namespacing from the header file, to fix a "file not found"
211 build error. Fixed by Haijun Gu #2319.
212 * Fix returning the value 1 when mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey failed.
213 * Fix false failure in all.sh when backup files exist in include/mbedtls
214 (e.g. config.h.bak). Fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin) #2407.
215 * Ensure that unused bits are zero when writing ASN.1 bitstrings when using
216 mbedtls_asn1_write_bitstring().
217 * Fix issue when writing the named bitstrings in KeyUsage and NsCertType
218 extensions in CSRs and CRTs that caused these bitstrings to not be encoded
219 correctly as trailing zeroes were not accounted for as unused bits in the
220 leading content octet. Fixes #1610.
221
222Changes
223 * Include configuration file in all header files that use configuration,
224 instead of relying on other header files that they include.
225 Inserted as an enhancement for #1371
226 * Add support for alternative CSR headers, as used by Microsoft and defined
227 in RFC 7468. Found by Michael Ernst. Fixes #767.
228 * Fix configuration queries in ssl-opt.h. #2030
229 * Ensure that ssl-opt.h can be run in OS X. #2029
230 * Reduce the complexity of the timing tests. They were assuming more than the
231 underlying OS actually guarantees.
232 * Re-enable certain interoperability tests in ssl-opt.sh which had previously
233 been disabled for lack of a sufficiently recent version of GnuTLS on the CI.
234 * Ciphersuites based on 3DES now have the lowest priority by default when
235 they are enabled.

238
239Features
240 * Add a new config.h option of MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS that enables validation
241 of parameters in the API. This allows detection of obvious misuses of the
242 API, such as passing NULL pointers. The API of existing functions hasn't
243 changed, but requirements on parameters have been made more explicit in
244 the documentation. See the corresponding API documentation for each
245 function to see for which parameter values it is defined. This feature is
246 disabled by default. See its API documentation in config.h for additional
247 steps you have to take when enabling it.
248
249API Changes
250 * The following functions in the random generator modules have been
251 deprecated and replaced as shown below. The new functions change
252 the return type from void to int to allow returning error codes when
253 using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT for the underlying AES or message digest
254 primitive. Fixes #1798.
255 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update() -> mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret()
256 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update() -> mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update_ret()
257 * Extend ECDH interface to enable alternative implementations.
258 * Deprecate error codes of the form MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx_INVALID_KEY_LENGTH for
259 ARIA, CAMELLIA and Blowfish. These error codes will be replaced by
260 the more generic per-module error codes MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx_BAD_INPUT_DATA.
261 * Additional parameter validation checks have been added for the following
262 modules - AES, ARIA, Blowfish, CAMELLIA, CCM, GCM, DHM, ECP, ECDSA, ECDH,
263 ECJPAKE, SHA, Chacha20 and Poly1305, cipher, pk, RSA, and MPI.
264 Where modules have had parameter validation added, existing parameter
265 checks may have changed. Some modules, such as Chacha20 had existing
266 parameter validation whereas other modules had little. This has now been
267 changed so that the same level of validation is present in all modules, and
268 that it is now optional with the MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS flag which by default
269 is off. That means that checks which were previously present by default
270 will no longer be.
271
272New deprecations
273 * Deprecate mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update
274 in favor of functions that can return an error code.

276Bugfix
Jens Wiklander3d3b0592019-03-20 15:30:29 +0100277 * Fix for Clang, which was reporting a warning for the bignum.c inline
278 assembly for AMD64 targets creating string literals greater than those
279 permitted by the ISO C99 standard. Found by Aaron Jones. Fixes #482.
280 * Fix runtime error in `mbedtls_platform_entropy_poll()` when run
281 through qemu user emulation. Reported and fix suggested by randombit
282 in #1212. Fixes #1212.
283 * Fix an unsafe bounds check when restoring an SSL session from a ticket.
284 This could lead to a buffer overflow, but only in case ticket authentication
285 was broken. Reported and fix suggested by Guido Vranken in #659.
286 * Add explicit integer to enumeration type casts to example program
287 programs/pkey/gen_key which previously led to compilation failure
288 on some toolchains. Reported by phoenixmcallister. Fixes #2170.
289 * Fix double initialization of ECC hardware that made some accelerators
290 hang.
291 * Clarify documentation of mbedtls_ssl_set_own_cert() regarding the absence
292 of check for certificate/key matching. Reported by Attila Molnar, #507.
293

295
296Security
297 * Fix timing variations and memory access variations in RSA PKCS#1 v1.5
298 decryption that could lead to a Bleichenbacher-style padding oracle
299 attack. In TLS, this affects servers that accept ciphersuites based on
300 RSA decryption (i.e. ciphersuites whose name contains RSA but not
301 (EC)DH(E)). Discovered by Eyal Ronen (Weizmann Institute), Robert Gillham
302 (University of Adelaide), Daniel Genkin (University of Michigan),
303 Adi Shamir (Weizmann Institute), David Wong (NCC Group), and Yuval Yarom
304 (University of Adelaide, Data61). The attack is described in more detail
305 in the paper available here: http://cat.eyalro.net/cat.pdf CVE-2018-19608
306 * In mbedtls_mpi_write_binary(), don't leak the exact size of the number
307 via branching and memory access patterns. An attacker who could submit
308 a plaintext for RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 decryption but only observe the timing
309 of the decryption and not its result could nonetheless decrypt RSA
310 plaintexts and forge RSA signatures. Other asymmetric algorithms may
311 have been similarly vulnerable. Reported by Eyal Ronen, Robert Gillham,
312 Daniel Genkin, Adi Shamir, David Wong and Yuval Yarom.
313 * Wipe sensitive buffers on the stack in the CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG
314 modules.
315
316API Changes
317 * The new functions mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret() and
318 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update_ret() are similar to mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update()
319 and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update() respectively, but the new functions
320 report errors whereas the old functions return void. We recommend that
321 applications use the new functions.
322
323= mbed TLS 2.14.0 branch released 2018-11-19
324
325Security
326 * Fix overly strict DN comparison when looking for CRLs belonging to a
327 particular CA. This previously led to ignoring CRLs when the CRL's issuer
328 name and the CA's subject name differed in their string encoding (e.g.,
329 one using PrintableString and the other UTF8String) or in the choice of
330 upper and lower case. Reported by Henrik Andersson of Bosch GmbH in issue
331 #1784.
332 * Fix a flawed bounds check in server PSK hint parsing. In case the
333 incoming message buffer was placed within the first 64KiB of address
334 space and a PSK-(EC)DHE ciphersuite was used, this allowed an attacker
335 to trigger a memory access up to 64KiB beyond the incoming message buffer,
336 potentially leading to an application crash or information disclosure.
337 * Fix mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() to use more rounds of probabilistic testing. The
338 previous settings for the number of rounds made it practical for an
339 adversary to construct non-primes that would be erroneously accepted as
340 primes with high probability. This does not have an impact on the
341 security of TLS, but can matter in other contexts with numbers chosen
342 potentially by an adversary that should be prime and can be validated.
343 For example, the number of rounds was enough to securely generate RSA key
344 pairs or Diffie-Hellman parameters, but was insufficient to validate
345 Diffie-Hellman parameters properly.
346 See "Prime and Prejudice" by by Martin R. Albrecht and Jake Massimo and
347 Kenneth G. Paterson and Juraj Somorovsky.
348
349Features
350 * Add support for temporarily suspending expensive ECC computations after
351 some configurable amount of operations. This is intended to be used in
352 constrained, single-threaded systems where ECC is time consuming and can
353 block other operations until they complete. This is disabled by default,
354 but can be enabled by MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE at compile time and
355 configured by mbedtls_ecp_set_max_ops() at runtime. It applies to the new
356 xxx_restartable functions in ECP, ECDSA, PK and X.509 (CRL not supported
357 yet), and to existing functions in ECDH and SSL (currently only
358 implemented client-side, for ECDHE-ECDSA ciphersuites in TLS 1.2,
359 including client authentication).
360 * Add support for Arm CPU DSP extensions to accelerate asymmetric key
361 operations. On CPUs where the extensions are available, they can accelerate
362 MPI multiplications used in ECC and RSA cryptography. Contributed by
363 Aurelien Jarno.
364 * Extend RSASSA-PSS signature to allow a smaller salt size. Previously, PSS
365 signature always used a salt with the same length as the hash, and returned
366 an error if this was not possible. Now the salt size may be up to two bytes
367 shorter. This allows the library to support all hash and signature sizes
368 that comply with FIPS 186-4, including SHA-512 with a 1024-bit key.
369 * Add support for 128-bit keys in CTR_DRBG. Note that using keys shorter
370 than 256 bits limits the security of generated material to 128 bits.
371
372API Changes
373 * Add a common error code of `MBEDTLS_ERR_PLATFORM_FEATURE_UNSUPPORTED` for
374 a feature that is not supported by underlying alternative
375 implementations implementing cryptographic primitives. This is useful for
376 hardware accelerators that don't implement all options or features.
377
378New deprecations
379 * All module specific errors following the form
380 MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE that indicate a feature is not
381 supported are deprecated and are now replaced by the new equivalent
382 platform error.
383 * All module specific generic hardware acceleration errors following the
384 form MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED that are deprecated and are replaced
385 by the equivalent plaform error.
386 * Deprecate the function mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() in favor of
387 mbedtls_mpi_is_prime_ext() which allows specifying the number of
388 Miller-Rabin rounds.
389
390Bugfix
391 * Fix wrong order of freeing in programs/ssl/ssl_server2 example
392 application leading to a memory leak in case both
393 MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C and MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BACKTRACE are set.
394 Fixes #2069.
395 * Fix a bug in the update function for SSL ticket keys which previously
396 invalidated keys of a lifetime of less than a 1s. Fixes #1968.
397 * Fix failure in hmac_drbg in the benchmark sample application, when
398 MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is defined. Found by TrinityTonic, #1095
399 * Fix a bug in the record decryption routine ssl_decrypt_buf()
400 which lead to accepting properly authenticated but improperly
401 padded records in case of CBC ciphersuites using Encrypt-then-MAC.
402 * Fix memory leak and freeing without initialization in the example
403 program programs/x509/cert_write. Fixes #1422.
404 * Ignore IV in mbedtls_cipher_set_iv() when the cipher mode is
405 MBEDTLS_MODE_ECB. Found by ezdevelop. Fixes #1091.
406 * Zeroize memory used for buffering or reassembling handshake messages
407 after use.
408 * Use `mbedtls_platform_zeroize()` instead of `memset()` for zeroization
409 of sensitive data in the example programs aescrypt2 and crypt_and_hash.
410 * Change the default string format used for various X.509 DN attributes to
411 UTF8String. Previously, the use of the PrintableString format led to
412 wildcards and non-ASCII characters being unusable in some DN attributes.
413 Reported by raprepo in #1860 and by kevinpt in #468. Fix contributed by
414 Thomas-Dee.
415 * Fix compilation failure for configurations which use compile time
416 replacements of standard calloc/free functions through the macros
417 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_CALLOC_MACRO and MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_FREE_MACRO.
418 Reported by ole-de and ddhome2006. Fixes #882, #1642 and #1706.
419
420Changes
421 * Removed support for Yotta as a build tool.
422 * Add tests for session resumption in DTLS.
423 * Close a test gap in (D)TLS between the client side and the server side:
424 test the handling of large packets and small packets on the client side
425 in the same way as on the server side.
426 * Change the dtls_client and dtls_server samples to work by default over
427 IPv6 and optionally by a build option over IPv4.
428 * Change the use of Windows threading to use Microsoft Visual C++ runtime
429 calls, rather than Win32 API calls directly. This is necessary to avoid
430 conflict with C runtime usage. Found and fixed by irwir.
431 * Remember the string format of X.509 DN attributes when replicating
432 X.509 DNs. Previously, DN attributes were always written in their default
433 string format (mostly PrintableString), which could lead to CRTs being
434 created which used PrintableStrings in the issuer field even though the
435 signing CA used UTF8Strings in its subject field; while X.509 compliant,
436 such CRTs were rejected in some applications, e.g. some versions of
437 Firefox, curl and GnuTLS. Reported in #1033 by Moschn. Fix contributed by
438 Thomas-Dee.
439 * Improve documentation of mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result().
440 Fixes #517 reported by github-monoculture.
441 * Add MBEDTLS_MPI_GEN_PRIME_FLAG_LOW_ERR flag to mbedtls_mpi_gen_prime() and
442 use it to reduce error probability in RSA key generation to levels mandated
443 by FIPS-186-4.

446
447API Changes
448 * Extend the platform module with an abstraction mbedtls_platform_gmtime_r()
449 whose implementation should behave as a thread-safe version of gmtime().
450 This allows users to configure such an implementation at compile time when
451 the target system cannot be deduced automatically, by setting the option
452 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_GMTIME_R_ALT. At this stage Mbed TLS is only able to
453 automatically select implementations for Windows and POSIX C libraries.
454
455Bugfix
456 * Fix build failures on platforms where only gmtime() is available but
457 neither gmtime_r() nor gmtime_s() are present. Fixes #1907.

462 * Fix an issue in the X.509 module which could lead to a buffer overread
463 during certificate extensions parsing. In case of receiving malformed
464 input (extensions length field equal to 0), an illegal read of one byte
465 beyond the input buffer is made. Found and analyzed by Nathan Crandall.
466
467Features
468 * Add support for fragmentation of outgoing DTLS handshake messages. This
469 is controlled by the maximum fragment length as set locally or negotiated
470 with the peer, as well as by a new per-connection MTU option, set using
471 mbedtls_ssl_set_mtu().
472 * Add support for auto-adjustment of MTU to a safe value during the
473 handshake when flights do not get through (RFC 6347, section 4.1.1.1,
474 last paragraph).
475 * Add support for packing multiple records within a single datagram,
476 enabled by default.
477 * Add support for buffering out-of-order handshake messages in DTLS.
478 The maximum amount of RAM used for this can be controlled by the
479 compile-time constant MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_MAX_BUFFERING defined
480 in mbedtls/config.h.
481
482API Changes
483 * Add function mbedtls_ssl_set_datagram_packing() to configure
484 the use of datagram packing (enabled by default).
485
486Bugfix
487 * Fix a potential memory leak in mbedtls_ssl_setup() function. An allocation
488 failure in the function could lead to other buffers being leaked.
489 * Fixes an issue with MBEDTLS_CHACHAPOLY_C which would not compile if
490 MBEDTLS_ARC4_C and MBEDTLS_CIPHER_NULL_CIPHER weren't also defined. #1890
491 * Fix a memory leak in ecp_mul_comb() if ecp_precompute_comb() fails.
492 Fix contributed by Espressif Systems.
493 * Add ecc extensions only if an ecc based ciphersuite is used.
494 This improves compliance to RFC 4492, and as a result, solves
495 interoperability issues with BouncyCastle. Raised by milenamil in #1157.
496 * Replace printf with mbedtls_printf in the ARIA module. Found by
497 TrinityTonic in #1908.
498 * Fix potential use-after-free in mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len()
499 and mbedtls_ssl_get_record_expansion() after a session reset. Fixes #1941.
500 * Fix a bug that caused SSL/TLS clients to incorrectly abort the handshake
501 with TLS versions 1.1 and earlier when the server requested authentication
502 without providing a list of CAs. This was due to an overly strict bounds
503 check in parsing the CertificateRequest message,
504 introduced in Mbed TLS 2.12.0. Fixes #1954.
505 * Fix a miscalculation of the maximum record expansion in
506 mbedtls_ssl_get_record_expansion() in case of ChachaPoly ciphersuites,
507 or CBC ciphersuites in (D)TLS versions 1.1 or higher. Fixes #1913, #1914.
508 * Fix undefined shifts with negative values in certificates parsing
509 (found by Catena cyber using oss-fuzz)
510 * Fix memory leak and free without initialization in pk_encrypt
511 and pk_decrypt example programs. Reported by Brace Stout. Fixes #1128.

519 * Improve compatibility with some alternative CCM implementations by using
520 CCM test vectors from RAM.
521 * Add support for buffering of out-of-order handshake messages.
522 * Add warnings to the documentation of the HKDF module to reduce the risk
523 of misusing the mbedtls_hkdf_extract() and mbedtls_hkdf_expand()
524 functions. Fixes #1775. Reported by Brian J. Murray.

529 * Fix a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based on CBC and using SHA-384,
530 in (D)TLS 1.0 to 1.2, that allowed an active network attacker to
531 partially recover the plaintext of messages under some conditions by
532 exploiting timing measurements. With DTLS, the attacker could perform
533 this recovery by sending many messages in the same connection. With TLS
534 or if mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only
535 worked if the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly
536 sent over connections manipulated by the attacker. Connections using GCM
537 or CCM instead of CBC, using hash sizes other than SHA-384, or using
538 Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected. The vulnerability was
539 caused by a miscalculation (for SHA-384) in a countermeasure to the
540 original Lucky 13 attack. Found by Kenny Paterson, Eyal Ronen and Adi
541 Shamir.
542 * Fix a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based on CBC, in (D)TLS 1.0 to
543 1.2, that allowed a local attacker, able to execute code on the local
544 machine as well as manipulate network packets, to partially recover the
545 plaintext of messages under some conditions by using a cache attack
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200546 targeting an internal MD/SHA buffer. With TLS or if
Jens Wiklander3d3b0592019-03-20 15:30:29 +0100547 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only worked if
548 the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly sent over
549 connections manipulated by the attacker. Connections using GCM or CCM
550 instead of CBC or using Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected.
551 Found by Kenny Paterson, Eyal Ronen and Adi Shamir.
552 * Add a counter-measure against a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based
553 on CBC, in (D)TLS 1.0 to 1.2, that allowed a local attacker, able to
554 execute code on the local machine as well as manipulate network packets,
555 to partially recover the plaintext of messages under some conditions (see
556 previous entry) by using a cache attack targeting the SSL input record
557 buffer. Connections using GCM or CCM instead of CBC or using
558 Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected. Found by Kenny Paterson,
559 Eyal Ronen and Adi Shamir.

563 authenticator Poly1305 and AEAD construct Chacha20-Poly1305. Contributed
564 by Daniel King.
565 * Add support for CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites from RFC 7905.
566 * Add platform support for the Haiku OS. (https://www.haiku-os.org).
567 Contributed by Augustin Cavalier.
568 * Make the receive and transmit buffers independent sizes, for situations
569 where the outgoing buffer can be fixed at a smaller size than the incoming
570 buffer, which can save some RAM. If buffer lengths are kept equal, there
571 is no functional difference. Contributed by Angus Gratton, and also
572 independently contributed again by Paul Sokolovsky.
573 * Add support for key wrapping modes based on AES as defined by
574 NIST SP 800-38F algorithms KW and KWP and by RFC 3394 and RFC 5649.
575

588 by Brendan Shanks. Part of a fix for #992.
589 * Fix compilation error when MBEDTLS_ARC4_C is disabled and
590 MBEDTLS_CIPHER_NULL_CIPHER is enabled. Found by TrinityTonic in #1719.
591 * Added length checks to some TLS parsing functions. Found and fixed by

593 * Fix the inline assembly for the MPI multiply helper function for i386 and
594 i386 with SSE2. Found by László Langó. Fixes #1550
595 * Fix namespacing in header files. Remove the `mbedtls` namespacing in
596 the `#include` in the header files. Resolves #857
597 * Fix compiler warning of 'use before initialisation' in
598 mbedtls_pk_parse_key(). Found by Martin Boye Petersen and fixed by Dawid
599 Drozd. #1098
600 * Fix decryption for zero length messages (which contain all padding) when a
601 CBC based ciphersuite is used together with Encrypt-then-MAC. Previously,
602 such a message was wrongly reported as an invalid record and therefore lead
603 to the connection being terminated. Seen most often with OpenSSL using
604 TLS 1.0. Reported by @kFYatek and by Conor Murphy on the forum. Fix
605 contributed by Espressif Systems. Fixes #1632
606 * Fix ssl_client2 example to send application data with 0-length content
607 when the request_size argument is set to 0 as stated in the documentation.
608 Fixes #1833.
609 * Correct the documentation for `mbedtls_ssl_get_session()`. This API has
610 deep copy of the session, and the peer certificate is not lost. Fixes #926.

660API Changes
661 * Extend the platform module with a util component that contains
662 functionality shared by multiple Mbed TLS modules. At this stage
663 platform_util.h (and its associated platform_util.c) only contain
664 mbedtls_platform_zeroize(), which is a critical function from a security
665 point of view. mbedtls_platform_zeroize() needs to be regularly tested
666 against compilers to ensure that calls to it are not removed from the
667 output binary as part of redundant code elimination optimizations.
668 Therefore, mbedtls_platform_zeroize() is moved to the platform module to
669 facilitate testing and maintenance.

683 * Fix an issue in the X.509 module which could lead to a buffer overread
684 during certificate validation. Additionally, the issue could also lead to
685 unnecessary callback checks being made or to some validation checks to be
686 omitted. The overread could be triggered remotely, while the other issues
687 would require a non DER-compliant certificate to be correctly signed by a
688 trusted CA, or a trusted CA with a non DER-compliant certificate. Found by
689 luocm. Fixes #825.
690 * Fix the buffer length assertion in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
691 function which led to an arbitrary overread of the message buffer. The
692 overreads could be caused by receiving a malformed message at the point
693 where an optional signature algorithms list is expected when the signature
694 algorithms section is too short. In builds with debug output, the overread
695 data is output with the debug data.
696 * Fix a client-side bug in the validation of the server's ciphersuite choice
697 which could potentially lead to the client accepting a ciphersuite it didn't
698 offer or a ciphersuite that cannot be used with the TLS or DTLS version
699 chosen by the server. This could lead to corruption of internal data
700 structures for some configurations.

712 * Extend the public API with the function of mbedtls_net_poll() to allow user
713 applications to wait for a network context to become ready before reading
714 or writing.
715 * Add function mbedtls_ssl_check_pending() to the public API to allow
716 a check for whether more more data is pending to be processed in the
717 internal message buffers.
718 This function is necessary to determine when it is safe to idle on the

735 unable to parse keys which had only the optional parameters field of the
736 ECPrivateKey structure. Found by Jethro Beekman, fixed in #1379.
737 * Return the plaintext data more quickly on unpadded CBC decryption, as
738 stated in the mbedtls_cipher_update() documentation. Contributed by
739 Andy Leiserson.
740 * Fix overriding and ignoring return values when parsing and writing to
741 a file in pk_sign program. Found by kevlut in #1142.
742 * Restrict usage of error code MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_READ to situations
743 where data needs to be fetched from the underlying transport in order
744 to make progress. Previously, this error code was also occasionally
745 returned when unexpected messages were being discarded, ignoring that
746 further messages could potentially already be pending to be processed
747 in the internal buffers; these cases led to deadlocks when event-driven
748 I/O was used. Found and reported by Hubert Mis in #772.
749 * Fix buffer length assertions in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
750 function which leads to a potential one byte overread of the message
751 buffer.
752 * Fix invalid buffer sizes passed to zlib during record compression and
753 decompression.
754 * Fix the soversion of libmbedcrypto to match the soversion of the
755 maintained 2.7 branch. The soversion was increased in Mbed TLS
756 version 2.7.1 to reflect breaking changes in that release, but the
757 increment was missed in 2.8.0 and later releases outside of the 2.7 branch.

765 * Improve negative testing of X.509 parsing.
766 * Do not define global mutexes around readdir() and gmtime() in
767 configurations where the feature is disabled. Found and fixed by Gergely
768 Budai.
769 * Harden the function mbedtls_ssl_config_free() against misuse, so that it
770 doesn't leak memory if the user doesn't use mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk() and
771 instead incorrectly manipulates the configuration structure directly.
772 Found and fix submitted by junyeonLEE in #1220.
773 * Provide an empty implementation of mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() when
774 MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C is not enabled. This allows the use of PBKDF2
775 without PBES2. Fixed by Marcos Del Sol Vives.

798 * Declare functions in header files even when an alternative implementation
799 of the corresponding module is activated by defining the corresponding
800 MBEDTLS_XXX_ALT macro. This means that alternative implementations do
801 not need to copy the declarations, and ensures that they will have the

808 * The truncated HMAC extension now conforms to RFC 6066. This means
809 that when both sides of a TLS connection negotiate the truncated
810 HMAC extension, Mbed TLS can now interoperate with other
811 compliant implementations, but this breaks interoperability with
812 prior versions of Mbed TLS. To restore the old behavior, enable
813 the (deprecated) option MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC_COMPAT in

851 * Fix Windows x64 builds with the included mbedTLS.sln file. #1347
852 * Fix setting version TLSv1 as minimal version, even if TLS 1
853 is not enabled. Set MBEDTLS_SSL_MIN_MAJOR_VERSION
854 and MBEDTLS_SSL_MIN_MINOR_VERSION instead of
855 MBEDTLS_SSL_MAJOR_VERSION_3 and MBEDTLS_SSL_MINOR_VERSION_1. #664
856 * Fix compilation error on Mingw32 when _TRUNCATE is defined. Use _TRUNCATE
857 only if __MINGW32__ not defined. Fix suggested by Thomas Glanzmann and
858 Nick Wilson on issue #355
859 * In test_suite_pk, pass valid parameters when testing for hash length
860 overflow. #1179

865 parsing the subject alternative names.
866 * Fix a possible arithmetic overflow in ssl_parse_server_key_exchange()
867 that could cause a key exchange to fail on valid data.
868 * Fix a possible arithmetic overflow in ssl_parse_server_psk_hint() that

888Security
889 * Fix a heap corruption issue in the implementation of the truncated HMAC
890 extension. When the truncated HMAC extension is enabled and CBC is used,
891 sending a malicious application packet could be used to selectively corrupt
892 6 bytes on the peer's heap, which could potentially lead to crash or remote
893 code execution. The issue could be triggered remotely from either side in
894 both TLS and DTLS. CVE-2018-0488
895 * Fix a buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the hash was too large
896 for the key size, which could potentially lead to crash or remote code
897 execution. Found by Seth Terashima, Qualcomm Product Security Initiative,
898 Qualcomm Technologies Inc. CVE-2018-0487
899 * Fix buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the unmasked data is all
900 zeros.
901 * Fix an unsafe bounds check in ssl_parse_client_psk_identity() when adding
902 64 KiB to the address of the SSL buffer and causing a wrap around.
903 * Fix a potential heap buffer overflow in mbedtls_ssl_write(). When the (by
904 default enabled) maximum fragment length extension is disabled in the
905 config and the application data buffer passed to mbedtls_ssl_write
906 is larger than the internal message buffer (16384 bytes by default), the
907 latter overflows. The exploitability of this issue depends on whether the
908 application layer can be forced into sending such large packets. The issue
909 was independently reported by Tim Nordell via e-mail and by Florin Petriuc
910 and sjorsdewit on GitHub. Fix proposed by Florin Petriuc in #1022.
911 Fixes #707.
912 * Add a provision to prevent compiler optimizations breaking the time
913 constancy of mbedtls_ssl_safer_memcmp().
914 * Ensure that buffers are cleared after use if they contain sensitive data.
915 Changes were introduced in multiple places in the library.
916 * Set PEM buffer to zero before freeing it, to avoid decoded private keys
917 being leaked to memory after release.
918 * Fix dhm_check_range() failing to detect trivial subgroups and potentially
919 leaking 1 bit of the private key. Reported by prashantkspatil.
920 * Make mbedtls_mpi_read_binary() constant-time with respect to the input
921 data. Previously, trailing zero bytes were detected and omitted for the
922 sake of saving memory, but potentially leading to slight timing
923 differences. Reported by Marco Macchetti, Kudelski Group.
924 * Wipe stack buffer temporarily holding EC private exponent
925 after keypair generation.
926 * Fix a potential heap buffer over-read in ALPN extension parsing
927 (server-side). Could result in application crash, but only if an ALPN
928 name larger than 16 bytes had been configured on the server.
929 * Change default choice of DHE parameters from untrustworthy RFC 5114
930 to RFC 3526 containing parameters generated in a nothing-up-my-sleeve
931 manner.
932
933Features
934 * Allow comments in test data files.
935 * The selftest program can execute a subset of the tests based on command
936 line arguments.
937 * New unit tests for timing. Improve the self-test to be more robust
938 when run on a heavily-loaded machine.
939 * Add alternative implementation support for CCM and CMAC (MBEDTLS_CCM_ALT,
940 MBEDTLS_CMAC_ALT). Submitted by Steven Cooreman, Silicon Labs.
941 * Add support for alternative implementations of GCM, selected by the
942 configuration flag MBEDTLS_GCM_ALT.
943 * Add support for alternative implementations for ECDSA, controlled by new
944 configuration flags MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT, MBEDTLS_ECDSA_VERIFY_ALT and
945 MBEDTLS_ECDSDA_GENKEY_AT in config.h.
946 The following functions from the ECDSA module can be replaced
947 with alternative implementation:
948 mbedtls_ecdsa_sign(), mbedtls_ecdsa_verify() and mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey().
949 * Add support for alternative implementation of ECDH, controlled by the
950 new configuration flags MBEDTLS_ECDH_COMPUTE_SHARED_ALT and
951 MBEDTLS_ECDH_GEN_PUBLIC_ALT in config.h.
952 The following functions from the ECDH module can be replaced
953 with an alternative implementation:
954 mbedtls_ecdh_gen_public() and mbedtls_ecdh_compute_shared().
955 * Add support for alternative implementation of ECJPAKE, controlled by
956 the new configuration flag MBEDTLS_ECJPAKE_ALT.
957 * Add mechanism to provide alternative implementation of the DHM module.
958
959API Changes
960 * Extend RSA interface by multiple functions allowing structure-
961 independent setup and export of RSA contexts. Most notably,
962 mbedtls_rsa_import() and mbedtls_rsa_complete() are introduced for setting
963 up RSA contexts from partial key material and having them completed to the
964 needs of the implementation automatically. This allows to setup private RSA
965 contexts from keys consisting of N,D,E only, even if P,Q are needed for the
966 purpose or CRT and/or blinding.
967 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_RSA_ALT can be used to define alternative
968 implementations of the RSA interface declared in rsa.h.
969 * The following functions in the message digest modules (MD2, MD4, MD5,
970 SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) have been deprecated and replaced as shown below.
971 The new functions change the return type from void to int to allow
972 returning error codes when using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT.
973 mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts_ret()
974 mbedtls_<MODULE>_update() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_update_ret()
975 mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish_ret()
976 mbedtls_<MODULE>_process() -> mbedtls_internal_<MODULE>_process()
977
978New deprecations
979 * Deprecate usage of RSA primitives with non-matching key-type
980 (e.g. signing with a public key).
981 * Direct manipulation of structure fields of RSA contexts is deprecated.
982 Users are advised to use the extended RSA API instead.
983 * Deprecate usage of message digest functions that return void
984 (mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts, mbedtls_<MODULE>_update,
985 mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish and mbedtls_<MODULE>_process where <MODULE> is
986 any of MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) in favor of functions
987 that can return an error code.
988 * Deprecate untrustworthy DHE parameters from RFC 5114. Superseded by
989 parameters from RFC 3526 or the newly added parameters from RFC 7919.
990 * Deprecate hex string DHE constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P etc.
991 Supserseded by binary encoded constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P_BIN
992 etc.
993 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param() for setting default DHE parameters
994 from hex strings. Superseded by mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param_bin()
995 accepting DHM parameters in binary form, matching the new constants.
996
997Bugfix
998 * Fix ssl_parse_record_header() to silently discard invalid DTLS records
999 as recommended in RFC 6347 Section 4.1.2.7.
1000 * Fix memory leak in mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname() when called multiple times.
1001 Found by projectgus and Jethro Beekman, #836.
1002 * Fix usage help in ssl_server2 example. Found and fixed by Bei Lin.
Jens Wiklander817466c2018-05-22 13:49:31 +02001003 * Parse signature algorithm extension when renegotiating. Previously,
1004 renegotiated handshakes would only accept signatures using SHA-1
1005 regardless of the peer's preferences, or fail if SHA-1 was disabled.
Jens Wiklander3d3b0592019-03-20 15:30:29 +01001006 * Fix leap year calculation in x509_date_is_valid() to ensure that invalid
1007 dates on leap years with 100 and 400 intervals are handled correctly. Found
1008 by Nicholas Wilson. #694
1009 * Fix some invalid RSA-PSS signatures with keys of size 8N+1 that were
1010 accepted. Generating these signatures required the private key.
1011 * Fix out-of-memory problem when parsing 4096-bit PKCS8-encrypted RSA keys.
1012 Found independently by Florian in the mbed TLS forum and by Mishamax.
1013 #878, #1019.
1014 * Fix variable used before assignment compilation warnings with IAR
1015 toolchain. Found by gkerrien38.
1016 * Fix unchecked return codes from AES, DES and 3DES functions in
1017 pem_aes_decrypt(), pem_des_decrypt() and pem_des3_decrypt() respectively.
1018 If a call to one of the functions of the cryptographic primitive modules
1019 failed, the error may not be noticed by the function
1020 mbedtls_pem_read_buffer() causing it to return invalid values. Found by
1021 Guido Vranken. #756
1022 * Include configuration file in md.h, to fix compilation warnings.
1023 Reported by aaronmdjones in #1001
1024 * Correct extraction of signature-type from PK instance in X.509 CRT and CSR
1025 writing routines that prevented these functions to work with alternative
1026 RSA implementations. Raised by J.B. in the Mbed TLS forum. Fixes #1011.
1027 * Don't print X.509 version tag for v1 CRT's, and omit extensions for
1028 non-v3 CRT's.
1029 * Fix bugs in RSA test suite under MBEDTLS_NO_PLATFORM_ENTROPY. #1023 #1024
1030 * Fix net_would_block() to avoid modification by errno through fcntl() call.
1031 Found by nkolban. Fixes #845.
1032 * Fix handling of handshake messages in mbedtls_ssl_read() in case
1033 MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION is disabled. Found by erja-gp.
1034 * Add a check for invalid private parameters in mbedtls_ecdsa_sign().
1035 Reported by Yolan Romailler.
1036 * Fix word size check in in pk.c to not depend on MBEDTLS_HAVE_INT64.
1037 * Fix incorrect unit in benchmark output. #850
1038 * Add size-checks for record and handshake message content, securing
1039 fragile yet non-exploitable code-paths.
1040 * Fix crash when calling mbedtls_ssl_cache_free() twice. Found by
1041 MilenkoMitrovic, #1104
1042 * Fix mbedtls_timing_alarm(0) on Unix and MinGW.
1043 * Fix use of uninitialized memory in mbedtls_timing_get_timer() when reset=1.
1044 * Fix possible memory leaks in mbedtls_gcm_self_test().
1045 * Added missing return code checks in mbedtls_aes_self_test().
1046 * Fix issues in RSA key generation program programs/x509/rsa_genkey and the
1047 RSA test suite where the failure of CTR DRBG initialization lead to
1048 freeing an RSA context and several MPI's without proper initialization
1049 beforehand.
1050 * Fix error message in programs/pkey/gen_key.c. Found and fixed by Chris Xue.
1051 * Fix programs/pkey/dh_server.c so that it actually works with dh_client.c.
1052 Found and fixed by Martijn de Milliano.
1053 * Fix an issue in the cipher decryption with the mode
1054 MBEDTLS_PADDING_ONE_AND_ZEROS that sometimes accepted invalid padding.
1055 Note, this padding mode is not used by the TLS protocol. Found and fixed by
1056 Micha Kraus.
1057 * Fix the entropy.c module to not call mbedtls_sha256_starts() or
1058 mbedtls_sha512_starts() in the mbedtls_entropy_init() function.
1059 * Fix the entropy.c module to ensure that mbedtls_sha256_init() or
1060 mbedtls_sha512_init() is called before operating on the relevant context
1061 structure. Do not assume that zeroizing a context is a correct way to
1062 reset it. Found independently by ccli8 on Github.
1063 * In mbedtls_entropy_free(), properly free the message digest context.
1064 * Fix status handshake status message in programs/ssl/dtls_client.c. Found
1065 and fixed by muddog.
1066
1067Changes
1068 * Extend cert_write example program by options to set the certificate version
1069 and the message digest. Further, allow enabling/disabling of authority
1070 identifier, subject identifier and basic constraints extensions.
1071 * Only check for necessary RSA structure fields in `mbedtls_rsa_private`. In
1072 particular, don't require P,Q if neither CRT nor blinding are
1073 used. Reported and fix proposed independently by satur9nine and sliai
1074 on GitHub.
1075 * Only run AES-192 self-test if AES-192 is available. Fixes #963.
1076 * Tighten the RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification code and remove the
1077 undeclared dependency of the RSA module on the ASN.1 module.
1078 * Update all internal usage of deprecated message digest functions to the
1079 new ones with return codes. In particular, this modifies the
1080 mbedtls_md_info_t structure. Propagate errors from these functions
1081 everywhere except some locations in the ssl_tls.c module.
1082 * Improve CTR_DRBG error handling by propagating underlying AES errors.
1083 * Add MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED error codes for all cryptography
1084 modules where the software implementation can be replaced by a hardware
1085 implementation.
1086 * Add explicit warnings for the use of MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA-1, DES and ARC4
1087 throughout the library.

1091Security
1092 * Fix authentication bypass in SSL/TLS: when authmode is set to optional,
1093 mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result() would incorrectly return 0 when the peer's
1094 X.509 certificate chain had more than MBEDTLS_X509_MAX_INTERMEDIATE_CA
1095 (default: 8) intermediates, even when it was not trusted. This could be
1096 triggered remotely from either side. (With authmode set to 'required'
1097 (the default), the handshake was correctly aborted).
1098 * Reliably wipe sensitive data after use in the AES example applications
1099 programs/aes/aescrypt2 and programs/aes/crypt_and_hash.
1100 Found by Laurent Simon.
1101
1102Features
1103 * Add the functions mbedtls_platform_setup() and mbedtls_platform_teardown()
1104 and the context struct mbedtls_platform_context to perform
1105 platform-specific setup and teardown operations. The macro
1106 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETUP_TEARDOWN_ALT allows the functions to be overridden
1107 by the user in a platform_alt.h file. These new functions are required in
1108 some embedded environments to provide a means of initialising underlying
1109 cryptographic acceleration hardware.
1110
1111API Changes
1112 * Reverted API/ABI breaking changes introduced in mbed TLS 2.5.1, to make the
1113 API consistent with mbed TLS 2.5.0. Specifically removed the inline
1114 qualifier from the functions mbedtls_aes_decrypt, mbedtls_aes_encrypt,
1115 mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_uses_ec and mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_uses_psk. Found
1116 by James Cowgill. #978
1117 * Certificate verification functions now set flags to -1 in case the full
1118 chain was not verified due to an internal error (including in the verify
1119 callback) or chain length limitations.
1120 * With authmode set to optional, the TLS handshake is now aborted if the
1121 verification of the peer's certificate failed due to an overlong chain or
1122 a fatal error in the verify callback.
1123
1124Bugfix
1125 * Add a check if iv_len is zero in GCM, and return an error if it is zero.
1126 Reported by roberto. #716
1127 * Replace preprocessor condition from #if defined(MBEDTLS_THREADING_PTHREAD)
1128 to #if defined(MBEDTLS_THREADING_C) as the library cannot assume they will
1129 always be implemented by pthread support. #696
1130 * Fix a resource leak on Windows platforms in mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path(),
1131 in the case of an error. Found by redplait. #590
1132 * Add MBEDTLS_MPI_CHK to check for error value of mbedtls_mpi_fill_random.
1133 Reported and fix suggested by guidovranken. #740
1134 * Fix conditional preprocessor directives in bignum.h to enable 64-bit
1135 compilation when using ARM Compiler 6.
1136 * Fix a potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
1137 encoded X.509 CRLs. The overflow could enable maliciously constructed CRLs
1138 to bypass the version verification check. Found by Peng Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin,
1139 KNOX Security, Samsung Research America
1140 * Fix potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
1141 encoded X.509 CSRs. The overflow could enable maliciously constructed CSRs
1142 to bypass the version verification check. Found by Peng Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin,
1143 KNOX Security, Samsung Research America
1144 * Fix a potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
1145 encoded X.509 certificates. The overflow could enable maliciously
1146 constructed certificates to bypass the certificate verification check.
1147 * Fix a call to the libc function time() to call the platform abstraction
1148 function mbedtls_time() instead. Found by wairua. #666
1149 * Avoid shadowing of time and index functions through mbed TLS function
1150 arguments. Found by inestlerode. #557.
1151
1152Changes
1153 * Added config.h option MBEDTLS_NO_UDBL_DIVISION, to prevent the use of
1154 64-bit division. This is useful on embedded platforms where 64-bit division
1155 created a dependency on external libraries. #708
1156 * Removed mutexes from ECP hardware accelerator code. Now all hardware
1157 accelerator code in the library leaves concurrency handling to the
1158 platform. Reported by Steven Cooreman. #863
1159 * Define the macro MBEDTLS_AES_ROM_TABLES in the configuration file
1160 config-no-entropy.h to reduce the RAM footprint.
1161 * Added a test script that can be hooked into git that verifies commits
1162 before they are pushed.

1168 * Fixed unlimited overread of heap-based buffer in mbedtls_ssl_read().
1169 The issue could only happen client-side with renegotiation enabled.
1170 Could result in DoS (application crash) or information leak
1171 (if the application layer sent data read from mbedtls_ssl_read()
1172 back to the server or to a third party). Can be triggered remotely.
1173 * Removed SHA-1 and RIPEMD-160 from the default hash algorithms for
1174 certificate verification. SHA-1 can be turned back on with a compile-time
1175 option if needed.
1176 * Fixed offset in FALLBACK_SCSV parsing that caused TLS server to fail to
1177 detect it sometimes. Reported by Hugo Leisink. #810
1178 * Tighten parsing of RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures, to avoid a
1179 potential Bleichenbacher/BERserk-style attack.
1180
1181Bugfix
1182 * Remove size zero arrays from ECJPAKE test suite. Size zero arrays are not
1183 valid C and they prevented the test from compiling in Visual Studio 2015
1184 and with GCC using the -Wpedantic compilation option.
1185 * Fix insufficient support for signature-hash-algorithm extension,
1186 resulting in compatibility problems with Chrome. Found by hfloyrd. #823
1187 * Fix behaviour that hid the original cause of fatal alerts in some cases
1188 when sending the alert failed. The fix makes sure not to hide the error
1189 that triggered the alert.
1190 * Fix SSLv3 renegotiation behaviour and stop processing data received from
1191 peer after sending a fatal alert to refuse a renegotiation attempt.
1192 Previous behaviour was to keep processing data even after the alert has
1193 been sent.
1194 * Accept empty trusted CA chain in authentication mode

1197 fatal errors in authentication mode MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL and to
1198 reflect bad EC curves within verification result.
1199 * Fix bug that caused the modular inversion function to accept the invalid
1200 modulus 1 and therefore to hang. Found by blaufish. #641.
1201 * Fix incorrect sign computation in modular exponentiation when the base is
1202 a negative MPI. Previously the result was always negative. Found by Guido

1230 replacement support for enabling the extension of the interface.
1231 * Add a new configuration option to 'mbedtls_ssl_config' to enable
1232 suppressing the CA list in Certificate Request messages. The default
1233 behaviour has not changed, namely every configured CAs name is included.

1250 without these checks the type cast could lead to data loss. Found by Guido
1251 Vranken.

1254
1255Security
1256 * Add checks to prevent signature forgeries for very large messages while
1257 using RSA through the PK module in 64-bit systems. The issue was caused by
1258 some data loss when casting a size_t to an unsigned int value in the
1259 functions rsa_verify_wrap(), rsa_sign_wrap(), rsa_alt_sign_wrap() and
1260 mbedtls_pk_sign(). Found by Jean-Philippe Aumasson.
1261 * Fixed potential livelock during the parsing of a CRL in PEM format in
1262 mbedtls_x509_crl_parse(). A string containing a CRL followed by trailing
1263 characters after the footer could result in the execution of an infinite
1264 loop. The issue can be triggered remotely. Found by Greg Zaverucha,
1265 Microsoft.
1266 * Removed MD5 from the allowed hash algorithms for CertificateRequest and
1267 CertificateVerify messages, to prevent SLOTH attacks against TLS 1.2.
1268 Introduced by interoperability fix for #513.
1269 * Fixed a bug that caused freeing a buffer that was allocated on the stack,
1270 when verifying the validity of a key on secp224k1. This could be
1271 triggered remotely for example with a maliciously constructed certificate
1272 and potentially could lead to remote code execution on some platforms.

1305 Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin, KNOX Security, Samsung Research America.
1306 * Fix potential memory leak in mbedtls_x509_crl_parse(). The leak was caused
1307 by missing calls to mbedtls_pem_free() in cases when a
1308 MBEDTLS_ERR_PEM_NO_HEADER_FOOTER_PRESENT error was encountered. Found and
1309 fix proposed by Guido Vranken. #722

1344 * Added hardware entropy selftest to verify that the hardware entropy source
1345 is functioning correctly.
1346 * Added a script to print build environment info for diagnostic use in test
1347 scripts, which is also now called by all.sh.
1348 * Added the macro MBEDTLS_X509_MAX_FILE_PATH_LEN that enables the user to
1349 configure the maximum length of a file path that can be buffered when
1350 calling mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path().
1351 * Added a configuration file config-no-entropy.h that configures the subset of
1352 library features that do not require an entropy source.
1353 * Added the macro MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_MIN_HARDWARE in config.h. This allows users
1354 to configure the minimum number of bytes for entropy sources using the
1355 mbedtls_hardware_poll() function.
1356

1392Changes
1393 * Extended test coverage of special cases, and added new timing test suite.
1394 * Removed self-tests from the basic-built-test.sh script, and added all
1395 missing self-tests to the test suites, to ensure self-tests are only
1396 executed once.
1397 * Added support for 3 and 4 byte lengths to mbedtls_asn1_write_len().
1398 * Added support for a Yotta specific configuration file -

1401 features. Contributed by Aviv Palivoda.
1402 * Renamed source file library/net.c to library/net_sockets.c to avoid
1403 naming collision in projects which also have files with the common name
1404 net.c. For consistency, the corresponding header file, net.h, is marked as

1647 (#220).
1648 * Prepend a "thread identifier" to debug messages (issue pointed out by
1649 Hugo Leisink) (#210).
1650 * Add mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len() to query the current maximum fragment
1651 length.

1654
1655Features
1656 * Support for DTLS 1.0 and 1.2 (RFC 6347).
1657 * Ability to override core functions from MDx, SHAx, AES and DES modules
1658 with custom implementation (eg hardware accelerated), complementing the
1659 ability to override the whole module.
1660 * New server-side implementation of session tickets that rotate keys to
1661 preserve forward secrecy, and allows sharing across multiple contexts.
1662 * Added a concept of X.509 cerificate verification profile that controls
1663 which algorithms and key sizes (curves for ECDSA) are acceptable.
1664 * Expanded configurability of security parameters in the SSL module with
1665 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dhm_min_bitlen() and mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_hashes().
1666 * Introduced a concept of presets for SSL security-relevant configuration
1667 parameters.
1668
1669API Changes
1670 * The library has been split into libmbedcrypto, libmbedx509, libmbedtls.
1671 You now need to link to all of them if you use TLS for example.
1672 * All public identifiers moved to the mbedtls_* or MBEDTLS_* namespace.
1673 Some names have been further changed to make them more consistent.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001674 Migration helpers scripts/rename.pl and include/mbedtls/compat-1.3.h are
Jens Wiklander817466c2018-05-22 13:49:31 +02001675 provided. Full list of renamings in scripts/data_files/rename-1.3-2.0.txt
1676 * Renamings of fields inside structures, not covered by the previous list:
1677 mbedtls_cipher_info_t.key_length -> key_bitlen
1678 mbedtls_cipher_context_t.key_length -> key_bitlen
1679 mbedtls_ecp_curve_info.size -> bit_size
1680 * Headers are now found in the 'mbedtls' directory (previously 'polarssl').
1681 * The following _init() functions that could return errors have
1682 been split into an _init() that returns void and another function that
1683 should generally be the first function called on this context after init:
1684 mbedtls_ssl_init() -> mbedtls_ssl_setup()
1685 mbedtls_ccm_init() -> mbedtls_ccm_setkey()
1686 mbedtls_gcm_init() -> mbedtls_gcm_setkey()
1687 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_init() -> mbedtls_hmac_drbg_seed(_buf)()
1688 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_init() -> mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed()
1689 Note that for mbedtls_ssl_setup(), you need to be done setting up the
1690 ssl_config structure before calling it.
1691 * Most ssl_set_xxx() functions (all except ssl_set_bio(), ssl_set_hostname(),
1692 ssl_set_session() and ssl_set_client_transport_id(), plus
1693 ssl_legacy_renegotiation()) have been renamed to mbedtls_ssl_conf_xxx()
1694 (see rename.pl and compat-1.3.h above) and their first argument's type
1695 changed from ssl_context to ssl_config.
1696 * ssl_set_bio() changed signature (contexts merged, order switched, one
1697 additional callback for read-with-timeout).
1698 * The following functions have been introduced and must be used in callback
1699 implementations (SNI, PSK) instead of their *conf counterparts:
1700 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_own_cert()
1701 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_ca_chain()
1702 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk()
1703 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_ca_chain() lost its last argument (peer_cn), now set
1704 using mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname().
1705 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_cache() changed prototype (only one context
1706 pointer, parameters reordered).
1707 * On server, mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets_cb() must now be used in
1708 place of mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets() to enable session tickets.
1709 * The SSL debug callback gained two new arguments (file name, line number).
1710 * Debug modes were removed.
1711 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_truncated_hmac() now returns void.
1712 * mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_init() now returns void.
1713 * X.509 verification flags are now an uint32_t. Affect the signature of:
1714 mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result()
1715 mbedtls_x509_ctr_verify_info()
1716 mbedtls_x509_crt_verify() (flags, f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
1717 mbedtls_ssl_conf_verify() (f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
1718 * The following functions changed prototype to avoid an in-out length
1719 parameter:
1720 mbedtls_base64_encode()
1721 mbedtls_base64_decode()
1722 mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
1723 mbedtls_dhm_calc_secret()
1724 * In the NET module, all "int" and "int *" arguments for file descriptors
1725 changed type to "mbedtls_net_context *".
1726 * net_accept() gained new arguments for the size of the client_ip buffer.
1727 * In the threading layer, mbedtls_mutex_init() and mbedtls_mutex_free() now
1728 return void.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001729 * ecdsa_write_signature() gained an additional md_alg argument and
Jens Wiklander817466c2018-05-22 13:49:31 +02001730 ecdsa_write_signature_det() was deprecated.
1731 * pk_sign() no longer accepts md_alg == POLARSSL_MD_NONE with ECDSA.
1732 * Last argument of x509_crt_check_key_usage() and
1733 mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_key_usage() changed from int to unsigned.
1734 * test_ca_list (from certs.h) is renamed to test_cas_pem and is only
1735 available if POLARSSL_PEM_PARSE_C is defined (it never worked without).
1736 * Test certificates in certs.c are no longer guaranteed to be nul-terminated
1737 strings; use the new *_len variables instead of strlen().
1738 * Functions mbedtls_x509_xxx_parse(), mbedtls_pk_parse_key(),
1739 mbedtls_pk_parse_public_key() and mbedtls_dhm_parse_dhm() now expect the
1740 length parameter to include the terminating null byte for PEM input.
1741 * Signature of mpi_mul_mpi() changed to make the last argument unsigned
1742 * calloc() is now used instead of malloc() everywhere. API of platform
1743 layer and the memory_buffer_alloc module changed accordingly.
1744 (Thanks to Mansour Moufid for helping with the replacement.)
1745 * Change SSL_DISABLE_RENEGOTIATION config.h flag to SSL_RENEGOTIATION
1746 (support for renegotiation now needs explicit enabling in config.h).
1747 * Split MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME into MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME and MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE
1748 in config.h
1749 * net_connect() and net_bind() have a new 'proto' argument to choose
1750 between TCP and UDP, using the macros NET_PROTO_TCP or NET_PROTO_UDP.
1751 Their 'port' argument type is changed to a string.
1752 * Some constness fixes
1753
1754Removals
1755 * Removed mbedtls_ecp_group_read_string(). Only named groups are supported.
1756 * Removed mbedtls_ecp_sub() and mbedtls_ecp_add(), use
1757 mbedtls_ecp_muladd().
1758 * Removed individual mdX_hmac, shaX_hmac, mdX_file and shaX_file functions
1759 (use generic functions from md.h)
1760 * Removed mbedtls_timing_msleep(). Use mbedtls_net_usleep() or a custom
1761 waiting function.
1762 * Removed test DHM parameters from the test certs module.
1763 * Removed the PBKDF2 module (use PKCS5).
1764 * Removed POLARSSL_ERROR_STRERROR_BC (use mbedtls_strerror()).
1765 * Removed compat-1.2.h (helper for migrating from 1.2 to 1.3).
1766 * Removed openssl.h (very partial OpenSSL compatibility layer).
1767 * Configuration options POLARSSL_HAVE_LONGLONG was removed (now always on).
1768 * Configuration options POLARSSL_HAVE_INT8 and POLARSSL_HAVE_INT16 have
1769 been removed (compiler is required to support 32-bit operations).
1770 * Configuration option POLARSSL_HAVE_IPV6 was removed (always enabled).
1771 * Removed test program o_p_test, the script compat.sh does more.
1772 * Removed test program ssl_test, superseded by ssl-opt.sh.
1773 * Removed helper script active-config.pl
1774
1775New deprecations
1776 * md_init_ctx() is deprecated in favour of md_setup(), that adds a third
1777 argument (allowing memory savings if HMAC is not used)
1778
1779Semi-API changes (technically public, morally private)
1780 * Renamed a few headers to include _internal in the name. Those headers are
1781 not supposed to be included by users.
1782 * Changed md_info_t into an opaque structure (use md_get_xxx() accessors).
1783 * Changed pk_info_t into an opaque structure.
1784 * Changed cipher_base_t into an opaque structure.
1785 * Removed sig_oid2 and rename sig_oid1 to sig_oid in x509_crt and x509_crl.
1786 * x509_crt.key_usage changed from unsigned char to unsigned int.
1787 * Removed r and s from ecdsa_context
1788 * Removed mode from des_context and des3_context
1789
1790Default behavior changes
1791 * The default minimum TLS version is now TLS 1.0.
1792 * RC4 is now blacklisted by default in the SSL/TLS layer, and excluded from the
1793 default ciphersuite list returned by ssl_list_ciphersuites()
1794 * Support for receiving SSLv2 ClientHello is now disabled by default at
1795 compile time.
1796 * The default authmode for SSL/TLS clients is now REQUIRED.
1797 * Support for RSA_ALT contexts in the PK layer is now optional. Since is is
1798 enabled in the default configuration, this is only noticeable if using a
1799 custom config.h
1800 * Default DHM parameters server-side upgraded from 1024 to 2048 bits.
1801 * A minimum RSA key size of 2048 bits is now enforced during ceritificate
1802 chain verification.
1803 * Negotiation of truncated HMAC is now disabled by default on server too.
1804 * The following functions are now case-sensitive:
1805 mbedtls_cipher_info_from_string()
1806 mbedtls_ecp_curve_info_from_name()
1807 mbedtls_md_info_from_string()
1808 mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_from_string()
1809 mbedtls_version_check_feature()
1810
1811Requirement changes
1812 * The minimum MSVC version required is now 2010 (better C99 support).
1813 * The NET layer now unconditionnaly relies on getaddrinfo() and select().
1814 * Compiler is required to support C99 types such as long long and uint32_t.
1815
1816API changes from the 1.4 preview branch
1817 * ssl_set_bio_timeout() was removed, split into mbedtls_ssl_set_bio() with
1818 new prototype, and mbedtls_ssl_set_read_timeout().
1819 * The following functions now return void:
1820 mbedtls_ssl_conf_transport()
1821 mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version()
1822 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version()
1823 * DTLS no longer hard-depends on TIMING_C, but uses a callback interface
1824 instead, see mbedtls_ssl_set_timer_cb(), with the Timing module providing
1825 an example implementation, see mbedtls_timing_delay_context and
1826 mbedtls_timing_set/get_delay().
1827 * With UDP sockets, it is no longer necessary to call net_bind() again
1828 after a successful net_accept().
1829
1830Changes
1831 * mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random() and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_random() are now
1832 thread-safe if MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled.
1833 * Reduced ROM fooprint of SHA-256 and added an option to reduce it even
1834 more (at the expense of performance) MBEDTLS_SHA256_SMALLER.
1835
1836= mbed TLS 1.3 branch
1837
1838Security
1839 * With authmode set to SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL, verification of keyUsage and
1840 extendedKeyUsage on the leaf certificate was lost (results not accessible
1841 via ssl_get_verify_results()).
1842 * Add countermeasure against "Lucky 13 strikes back" cache-based attack,
1843 https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2714625

1857 * Improved Makefiles for Windows targets by fixing library targets and making
1858 cross-compilation easier (thanks to Alon Bar-Lev).
1859 * The benchmark program also prints heap usage for public-key primitives
1860 if POLARSSL_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C and POLARSSL_MEMORY_DEBUG are defined.
1861 * New script ecc-heap.sh helps measuring the impact of ECC parameters on
1862 speed and RAM (heap only for now) usage.
1863 * New script memory.sh helps measuring the ROM and RAM requirements of two
1864 reduced configurations (PSK-CCM and NSA suite B).
1865 * Add config flag POLARSSL_DEPRECATED_WARNING (off by default) to produce
1866 warnings on use of deprecated functions (with GCC and Clang only).
1867 * Add config flag POLARSSL_DEPRECATED_REMOVED (off by default) to produce
1868 errors on use of deprecated functions.

1885 * Fix handling of symlinks by "make install" (found by Gaël PORTAY).
1886 * Fix potential NULL pointer dereference (not trigerrable remotely) when
1887 ssl_write() is called before the handshake is finished (introduced in
1888 1.3.10) (first reported by Martin Blumenstingl).
1889 * Fix bug in pk_parse_key() that caused some valid private EC keys to be

1921 (suggested by Thorsten Mühlfelder).
1922 * Remove some unneeded inclusions of header files from the standard library
1923 "minimize" others (eg use stddef.h if only size_t is needed).
1924 * Change #include lines in test files to use double quotes instead of angle

Jens Wiklander817466c2018-05-22 13:49:31 +02002920
2921Changes
2922 * Documentation for AES and Camellia in modes CTR and CFB128 clarified.
2923 * Fixed rsa_encrypt and rsa_decrypt examples to use public key for
2924 encryption and private key for decryption. (Closes ticket #34)
2925 * Inceased maximum size of ASN1 length reads to 32-bits.
2926 * Added an EXPLICIT tag number parameter to x509_get_ext()
2927 * Added a separate CRL entry extension parsing function
2928 * Separated the ASN.1 parsing code from the X.509 specific parsing code.
2929 So now there is a module that is controlled with POLARSSL_ASN1_PARSE_C.
2930 * Changed the defined key-length of DES ciphers in cipher.h to include the
2931 parity bits, to prevent mistakes in copying data. (Closes ticket #33)
2932 * Loads of minimal changes to better support WINCE as a build target
2933 (Credits go to Marco Lizza)
2934 * Added POLARSSL_MPI_WINDOW_SIZE definition to allow easier time to memory

2940 a consequence in library code and programs
2941 * Moved all examples programs to use the new entropy and CTR_DRBG
2942 * Added permissive certificate parsing to x509parse_crt() and
2943 x509parse_crtfile(). With permissive parsing the parsing does not stop on
2944 encountering a parse-error. Beware that the meaning of return values has
2945 changed!
2946 * All error codes are now negative. Even on mermory failures and IO errors.
2947
2948Bugfix
2949 * Fixed faulty HMAC-MD2 implementation. Found by dibac. (Closes
2950 ticket #37)
2951 * Fixed a bug where the CRL parser expected an EXPLICIT ASN.1 tag
2952 before version numbers
2953 * Allowed X509 key usage parsing to accept 4 byte values instead of the
2954 standard 1 byte version sometimes used by Microsoft. (Closes ticket #38)
2955 * Fixed incorrect behaviour in case of RSASSA-PSS with a salt length
2956 smaller than the hash length. (Closes ticket #41)
2957 * If certificate serial is longer than 32 octets, serial number is now
2958 appended with '....' after first 28 octets
2959 * Improved build support for s390x and sparc64 in bignum.h
2960 * Fixed MS Visual C++ name clash with int64 in sha4.h
2961 * Corrected removal of leading "00:" in printing serial numbers in
2962 certificates and CRLs

2981 enable and disable individual modes when needed
2982 * Functions requiring File System functions can now be disabled
2983 by undefining POLARSSL_FS_IO

2987 functions.
2988 * Added ssl_mail_client and ssl_fork_server as example programs.
2989
2990Changes
2991 * Major argument / variable rewrite. Introduced use of size_t
2992 instead of int for buffer lengths and loop variables for
2993 better unsigned / signed use. Renamed internal bigint types
2994 t_int and t_dbl to t_uint and t_udbl in the process
2995 * mpi_init() and mpi_free() now only accept a single MPI
2996 argument and do not accept variable argument lists anymore.
2997 * The error codes have been remapped and combining error codes
2998 is now done with a PLUS instead of an OR as error codes
2999 used are negative.
3000 * Changed behaviour of net_read(), ssl_fetch_input() and ssl_recv().
3001 net_recv() now returns 0 on EOF instead of
3002 POLARSSL_ERR_NET_CONN_RESET. ssl_fetch_input() returns
3003 POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_CONN_EOF on an EOF from its f_recv() function.
3004 ssl_read() returns 0 if a POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_CONN_EOF is received
3005 after the handshake.
3006 * Network functions now return POLARSSL_ERR_NET_WANT_READ or
3007 POLARSSL_ERR_NET_WANT_WRITE instead of the ambiguous
3008 POLARSSL_ERR_NET_TRY_AGAIN

3018
3019Changes
3020 * Debug print of MPI now removes leading zero octets and
3021 displays actual bit size of the value.
3022 * x509parse_key() (and as a consequence x509parse_keyfile())
3023 does not zeroize memory in advance anymore. Use rsa_init()
3024 before parsing a key or keyfile!
3025
3026Bugfix
3027 * Debug output of MPI's now the same independent of underlying
3028 platform (32-bit / 64-bit) (Fixes ticket #19, found by Mads
