Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +02003= mbed TLS 2.22.0 branch released 2020-04-14
4
5New deprecations
6 * Deprecate MBEDTLS_SSL_HW_RECORD_ACCEL that enables function hooks in the
7 SSL module for hardware acceleration of individual records.
8 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len() in favour of
9 mbedtls_ssl_get_output_max_frag_len() and
10 mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() to be more precise about which max
11 fragment length is desired.
12
13Security
14 * Fix issue in DTLS handling of new associations with the same parameters
15 (RFC 6347 section 4.2.8): an attacker able to send forged UDP packets to
16 the server could cause it to drop established associations with
17 legitimate clients, resulting in a Denial of Service. This could only
18 happen when MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE was enabled in config.h
19 (which it is by default).
20 * Fix side channel in ECC code that allowed an adversary with access to
21 precise enough timing and memory access information (typically an
22 untrusted operating system attacking a secure enclave) to fully recover
23 an ECDSA private key. Found and reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya,
24 Billy Brumley and Cesar Pereida Garcia. CVE-2020-10932
25 * Fix a potentially remotely exploitable buffer overread in a
26 DTLS client when parsing the Hello Verify Request message.
27
28Features
29 * The new build option MBEDTLS_SSL_VARIABLE_BUFFER_LENGTH automatically
30 resizes the I/O buffers before and after handshakes, reducing the memory
31 consumption during application data transfer.
32
33Bugfix
34 * Fix compilation failure when both MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_DTLS and
35 MBEDTLS_SSL_HW_RECORD_ACCEL are enabled.
36 * Remove a spurious check in ssl_parse_client_psk_identity that triggered
37 a warning with some compilers. Fix contributed by irwir in #2856.
38 * Fix a function name in a debug message. Contributed by Ercan Ozturk in
39 #3013.
40
41Changes
42 * Mbed Crypto is no longer a Git submodule. The crypto part of the library
43 is back directly in the present repository.
44 * Split mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len() into
45 mbedtls_ssl_get_output_max_frag_len() and
46 mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() to ensure that a sufficient input
47 buffer is allocated by the server (if MBEDTLS_SSL_VARIABLE_BUFFER_LENGTH
48 is defined), regardless of what MFL was configured for it.
49
50= mbed TLS 2.21.0 branch released 2020-02-20
51
52New deprecations
53 * Deprecate MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_SUPPORT_SSLV2_CLIENT_HELLO that enables parsing
54 SSLv2 ClientHello messages.
55 * Deprecate MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_SSL3 that enables support for SSLv3.
56 * Deprecate for MBEDTLS_PKCS11_C, the wrapper around the pkcs11-helper
57 library which allows TLS authentication to use keys stored in a
58 PKCS#11 token such as a smartcard.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +020059
60Security
61 * Fix potential memory overread when performing an ECDSA signature
62 operation. The overread only happens with cryptographically low
63 probability (of the order of 2^-n where n is the bitsize of the curve)
64 unless the RNG is broken, and could result in information disclosure or
65 denial of service (application crash or extra resource consumption).
66 Found by Auke Zeilstra and Peter Schwabe, using static analysis.
67 * To avoid a side channel vulnerability when parsing an RSA private key,
68 read all the CRT parameters from the DER structure rather than
69 reconstructing them. Found by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Bob
70 Brumley. Reported and fix contributed by Jack Lloyd.
71 ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#352
72
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +020073Features
74 * The new build option MBEDTLS_SHA512_NO_SHA384 allows building SHA-512
75 support without SHA-384.
76
77API changes
78 * Change the encoding of key types and curves in the PSA API. The new
79 values are aligned with the upcoming release of the PSA Crypto API
80 specification version 1.0.0. The main change which may break some
81 existing code is that elliptic curve key types no longer encode the
82 exact curve: a psa_ecc_curve_t or psa_key_type_t value only encodes
83 a curve family and the key size determines the exact curve (for example,
84 PSA_ECC_CURVE_SECP_R1 with 256 bits is P256R1). ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#330
85
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +020086Bugfix
87 * Fix an unchecked call to mbedtls_md() in the x509write module.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +020088 * Fix build failure with MBEDTLS_ZLIB_SUPPORT enabled. Reported by
89 Jack Lloyd in #2859. Fix submitted by jiblime in #2963.
90 * Fix some false-positive uninitialized variable warnings in X.509. Fix
91 contributed by apple-ihack-geek in #2663.
92 * Fix a possible error code mangling in psa_mac_verify_finish() when
93 a cryptographic accelerator fails. ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#345
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +020094 * Fix a bug in mbedtls_pk_parse_key() that would cause it to accept some
95 RSA keys that would later be rejected by functions expecting private
96 keys. Found by Catena cyber using oss-fuzz (issue 20467).
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +020097 * Fix a bug in mbedtls_pk_parse_key() that would cause it to
98 accept some RSA keys with invalid values by silently fixing those values.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +020099
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +0200100= mbed TLS 2.20.0 branch released 2020-01-15
101
102Default behavior changes
103 * The initial seeding of a CTR_DRBG instance makes a second call to the
104 entropy function to obtain entropy for a nonce if the entropy size is less
105 than 3/2 times the key size. In case you want to disable the extra call to
106 grab entropy, you can call mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len() to force the
107 nonce length to 0.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200108
109Security
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +0200110 * Enforce that mbedtls_entropy_func() gathers a total of
111 MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_BLOCK_SIZE bytes or more from strong sources. In the
112 default configuration, on a platform with a single entropy source, the
113 entropy module formerly only grabbed 32 bytes, which is good enough for
114 security if the source is genuinely strong, but less than the expected 64
115 bytes (size of the entropy accumulator).
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200116 * Zeroize local variables in mbedtls_internal_aes_encrypt() and
117 mbedtls_internal_aes_decrypt() before exiting the function. The value of
118 these variables can be used to recover the last round key. To follow best
119 practice and to limit the impact of buffer overread vulnerabilities (like
120 Heartbleed) we need to zeroize them before exiting the function.
121 Issue reported by Tuba Yavuz, Farhaan Fowze, Ken (Yihang) Bai,
122 Grant Hernandez, and Kevin Butler (University of Florida) and
123 Dave Tian (Purdue University).
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +0200124 * Fix side channel vulnerability in ECDSA. Our bignum implementation is not
125 constant time/constant trace, so side channel attacks can retrieve the
126 blinded value, factor it (as it is smaller than RSA keys and not guaranteed
127 to have only large prime factors), and then, by brute force, recover the
128 key. Reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Brumley.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200129 * Fix side channel vulnerability in ECDSA key generation. Obtaining precise
130 timings on the comparison in the key generation enabled the attacker to
131 learn leading bits of the ephemeral key used during ECDSA signatures and to
132 recover the private key. Reported by Jeremy Dubeuf.
133 * Catch failure of AES functions in mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random(). Uncaught
134 failures could happen with alternative implementations of AES. Bug
135 reported and fix proposed by Johan Uppman Bruce and Christoffer Lauri,
136 Sectra.
137
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +0200138Features
139 * Key derivation inputs in the PSA API can now either come from a key object
140 or from a buffer regardless of the step type.
141 * The CTR_DRBG module can grab a nonce from the entropy source during the
142 initial seeding. The default nonce length is chosen based on the key size
143 to achieve the security strength defined by NIST SP 800-90A. You can
144 change it with mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len().
145 * Add ENUMERATED tag support to the ASN.1 module. Contributed by
146 msopiha-linaro in ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#307.
147
148API changes
149 * In the PSA API, forbid zero-length keys. To pass a zero-length input to a
150 key derivation function, use a buffer instead (this is now always
151 possible).
152 * Rename psa_asymmetric_sign() to psa_sign_hash() and
153 psa_asymmetric_verify() to psa_verify_hash().
154
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200155Bugfix
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +0200156 * Fix an incorrect size in a debugging message. Reported and fix
157 submitted by irwir. Fixes #2717.
158 * Fix an unused variable warning when compiling without DTLS.
159 Reported and fix submitted by irwir. Fixes #2800.
160 * Remove a useless assignment. Reported and fix submitted by irwir.
161 Fixes #2801.
162 * Fix a buffer overflow in the PSA HMAC code when using a long key with an
163 unsupported algorithm. Fixes ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#254.
164 * Fix mbedtls_asn1_get_int to support any number of leading zeros. Credit
165 to OSS-Fuzz for finding a bug in an intermediate version of the fix.
166 * Fix mbedtls_asn1_get_bitstring_null to correctly parse bitstrings of at
167 most 2 bytes.
168 * mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_entropy_len() and
169 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_set_entropy_len() now work if you call them before
170 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed() or mbedtls_hmac_drbg_seed().
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200171
172Changes
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +0200173 * Remove the technical possibility to define custom mbedtls_md_info
174 structures, which was exposed only in an internal header.
175 * psa_close_key(0) and psa_destroy_key(0) now succeed (doing nothing, as
176 before).
177 * Variables containing error codes are now initialized to an error code
178 rather than success, so that coding mistakes or memory corruption tends to
179 cause functions to return this error code rather than a success. There are
180 no known instances where this changes the behavior of the library: this is
181 merely a robustness improvement. ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#323
182 * Remove a useless call to mbedtls_ecp_group_free(). Contributed by
183 Alexander Krizhanovsky in ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#210.
184 * Speed up PBKDF2 by caching the digest calculation. Contributed by Jack
185 Lloyd and Fortanix Inc in ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#277.
186 * Small performance improvement of mbedtls_mpi_div_mpi(). Contributed by
187 Alexander Krizhanovsky in ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#308.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200188
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +0200189= mbed TLS 2.19.1 branch released 2019-09-16
190
191Features
192 * Declare include headers as PUBLIC to propagate to CMake project consumers
193 Contributed by Zachary J. Fields in PR #2949.
194 * Add nss_keylog to ssl_client2 and ssl_server2, enabling easier analysis of
195 TLS sessions with tools like Wireshark.
196
197API Changes
198 * Make client_random and server_random const in
199 mbedtls_ssl_export_keys_ext_t, so that the key exporter is discouraged
200 from modifying the client/server hello.
201
202Bugfix
203 * Fix some false-positive uninitialized variable warnings in crypto. Fix
204 contributed by apple-ihack-geek in #2663.
205
206= mbed TLS 2.19.0 branch released 2019-09-06
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200207
208Security
209 * Fix a missing error detection in ECJPAKE. This could have caused a
210 predictable shared secret if a hardware accelerator failed and the other
211 side of the key exchange had a similar bug.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200212 * When writing a private EC key, use a constant size for the private
213 value, as specified in RFC 5915. Previously, the value was written
214 as an ASN.1 INTEGER, which caused the size of the key to leak
215 about 1 bit of information on average and could cause the value to be
216 1 byte too large for the output buffer.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +0200217 * The deterministic ECDSA calculation reused the scheme's HMAC-DRBG to
218 implement blinding. Because of this for the same key and message the same
219 blinding value was generated. This reduced the effectiveness of the
220 countermeasure and leaked information about the private key through side
221 channels. Reported by Jack Lloyd.
222
223Features
224 * Add new API functions mbedtls_ssl_session_save() and
225 mbedtls_ssl_session_load() to allow serializing a session, for example to
226 store it in non-volatile storage, and later using it for TLS session
227 resumption.
228 * Add a new API function mbedtls_ssl_check_record() to allow checking that
229 an incoming record is valid, authentic and has not been seen before. This
230 feature can be used alongside Connection ID and SSL context serialisation.
231 The feature is enabled at compile-time by MBEDTLS_SSL_RECORD_CHECKING
232 option.
233 * New implementation of X25519 (ECDH using Curve25519) from Project Everest
234 (https://project-everest.github.io/). It can be enabled at compile time
235 with MBEDTLS_ECDH_VARIANT_EVEREST_ENABLED. This implementation is formally
236 verified and significantly faster, but is only supported on x86 platforms
237 (32-bit and 64-bit) using GCC, Clang or Visual Studio. Contributed by
238 Christoph Wintersteiger from Microsoft Research.
239 * Add mbedtls_net_close(), enabling the building of forking servers where
240 the parent process closes the client socket and continue accepting, and
241 the child process closes the listening socket and handles the client
242 socket. Contributed by Robert Larsen in #2803.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200243
244API Changes
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +0200245 * Add DER-encoded test CRTs to library/certs.c, allowing
246 the example programs ssl_server2 and ssl_client2 to be run
247 if MBEDTLS_FS_IO and MBEDTLS_PEM_PARSE_C are unset. Fixes #2254.
248 * The HAVEGE state type now uses uint32_t elements instead of int.
249 * The functions mbedtls_ecp_curve_list() and mbedtls_ecp_grp_id_list() now
250 list all curves for which at least one of ECDH or ECDSA is supported, not
251 just curves for which both are supported. Call mbedtls_ecdsa_can_do() or
252 mbedtls_ecdh_can_do() on each result to check whether each algorithm is
253 supported.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200254 * The new function mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det_ext() is similar to
255 mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det() but allows passing an external RNG for the
256 purpose of blinding.
257
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +0200258New deprecations
259 * Deprecate mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det() in favor of a functions that can take an
260 RNG function as an input.
261 * Calling mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature() with NULL as the f_rng argument
262 is now deprecated.
263
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200264Bugfix
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +0200265 * Fix missing bounds checks in X.509 parsing functions that could
266 lead to successful parsing of ill-formed X.509 CRTs. Fixes #2437.
267 * Fix multiple X.509 functions previously returning ASN.1 low-level error
268 codes to always wrap these codes into X.509 high level error codes before
269 returning. Fixes #2431.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200270 * Fix to allow building test suites with any warning that detects unused
271 functions. Fixes #1628.
272 * Fix typo in net_would_block(). Fixes #528 reported by github-monoculture.
273 * Remove redundant include file in timing.c. Fixes #2640 reported by irwir.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +0200274 * Fix build failure when building with mingw on Windows by including
275 stdarg.h where needed. Fixes #2656.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200276 * Fix Visual Studio Release x64 build configuration by inheriting
277 PlatformToolset from the project configuration. Fixes #1430 reported by
278 irwir.
279 * Enable Suite B with subset of ECP curves. Make sure the code compiles even
280 if some curves are not defined. Fixes #1591 reported by dbedev.
281 * Fix misuse of signed arithmetic in the HAVEGE module. #2598
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +0200282 * Avoid use of statically sized stack buffers for certificate writing.
283 This previously limited the maximum size of DER encoded certificates
284 in mbedtls_x509write_crt_der() to 2Kb. Reported by soccerGB in #2631.
285 * Fix partial zeroing in x509_get_other_name. Found and fixed by ekse, #2716.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200286 * Update test certificates that were about to expire. Reported by
287 Bernhard M. Wiedemann in #2357.
288 * Fix the build on ARMv5TE in ARM mode to not use assembly instructions
289 that are only available in Thumb mode. Fix contributed by Aurelien Jarno
290 in #2169.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200291 * Fix propagation of restart contexts in restartable EC operations.
292 This could previously lead to segmentation faults in builds using an
293 address-sanitizer and enabling but not using MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE.
294 * Fix memory leak in in mpi_miller_rabin(). Contributed by
295 Jens Wiklander <jens.wiklander@linaro.org> in #2363
296 * Improve code clarity in x509_crt module, removing false-positive
297 uninitialized variable warnings on some recent toolchains (GCC8, etc).
298 Discovered and fixed by Andy Gross (Linaro), #2392.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200299 * Fix bug in endianness conversion in bignum module. This lead to
300 functionally incorrect code on bigendian systems which don't have
301 __BYTE_ORDER__ defined. Reported by Brendan Shanks. Fixes #2622.
302
303Changes
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +0200304 * Replace multiple uses of MD2 by SHA-256 in X.509 test suite. Fixes #821.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200305 * Make it easier to define MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED as assert (which config.h
306 suggests). #2671
307 * Make `make clean` clean all programs always. Fixes #1862.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +0200308 * Add a Dockerfile and helper scripts (all-in-docker.sh, basic-in-docker.sh,
309 docker-env.sh) to simplify running test suites on a Linux host. Contributed
310 by Peter Kolbus (Garmin).
311 * Add `reproducible` option to `ssl_client2` and `ssl_server2` to enable
312 test runs without variability. Contributed by Philippe Antoine (Catena
313 cyber) in #2681.
314 * Extended .gitignore to ignore Visual Studio artifacts. Fixed by ConfusedSushi.
315 * Adds fuzz targets, especially for continuous fuzzing with OSS-Fuzz.
316 Contributed by Philippe Antoine (Catena cyber).
317 * Remove the crypto part of the library from Mbed TLS. The crypto
318 code and tests are now only available via Mbed Crypto, which
319 Mbed TLS references as a Git submodule.

331= mbed TLS 2.18.0 branch released 2019-06-11
332
333Features
334 * Add the Any Policy certificate policy oid, as defined in
335 rfc 5280 section 4.2.1.4.
336 * It is now possible to use NIST key wrap mode via the mbedtls_cipher API.
337 Contributed by Jack Lloyd and Fortanix Inc.
338 * Add the Wi-SUN Field Area Network (FAN) device extended key usage.
339 * Add the oid certificate policy x509 extension.
340 * It is now possible to perform RSA PKCS v1.5 signatures with RIPEMD-160 digest.
341 Contributed by Jack Lloyd and Fortanix Inc.
342 * Extend the MBEDTLS_SSL_EXPORT_KEYS to export the handshake randbytes,
343 and the used tls-prf.
344 * Add public API for tls-prf function, according to requested enum.
345 * Add support for parsing otherName entries in the Subject Alternative Name
346 X.509 certificate extension, specifically type hardware module name,
347 as defined in RFC 4108 section 5.
348 * Add support for parsing certificate policies extension, as defined in
349 RFC 5280 section 4.2.1.4. Currently, only the "Any Policy" policy is
350 supported.
351 * List all SAN types in the subject_alt_names field of the certificate.
352 Resolves #459.
353 * Add support for draft-05 of the Connection ID extension, as specified
354 in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-dtls-connection-id-05.
355 The Connection ID extension allows to keep DTLS connections beyond the
356 lifetime of the underlying transport by adding a connection identifier
357 to the DTLS record header. This identifier can be used to associated an
358 incoming record with the correct connection data even after the peer has
359 changed its IP or port. The feature is enabled at compile-time by setting

369Bugfix
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200370 * Fix private key DER output in the key_app_writer example. File contents
371 were shifted by one byte, creating an invalid ASN.1 tag. Fixed by
372 Christian Walther in #2239.
373 * Fix potential memory leak in X.509 self test. Found and fixed by
374 Junhwan Park, #2106.
375 * Reduce stack usage of hkdf tests. Fixes #2195.
376 * Fix 1-byte buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_write_string() when
377 used with negative inputs. Found by Guido Vranken in #2404. Credit to
378 OSS-Fuzz.
379 * Fix bugs in the AEAD test suite which would be exposed by ciphers which
380 either used both encrypt and decrypt key schedules, or which perform padding.
381 GCM and CCM were not affected. Fixed by Jack Lloyd.
382 * Fix incorrect default port number in ssl_mail_client example's usage.
383 Found and fixed by irwir. #2337

Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200386 * Add missing parentheses around parameters in the definition of the
387 public macro MBEDTLS_X509_ID_FLAG. This could lead to invalid evaluation
388 in case operators binding less strongly than subtraction were used
389 for the parameter.
390 * Add a check for MBEDTLS_X509_CRL_PARSE_C in ssl_server2, guarding the crl
391 sni entry parameter. Reported by inestlerode in #560.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +0200392 * Set the next sequence of the subject_alt_name to NULL when deleting

396Changes
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +0200397 * Server's RSA certificate in certs.c was SHA-1 signed. In the default
398 mbedTLS configuration only SHA-2 signed certificates are accepted.
399 This certificate is used in the demo server programs, which lead the
400 client programs to fail at the peer's certificate verification
401 due to an unacceptable hash signature. The certificate has been
402 updated to one that is SHA-256 signed. Fix contributed by
403 Illya Gerasymchuk.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200404 * Return from various debugging routines immediately if the

415Features
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +0200416 * Add a new X.509 API call `mbedtls_x509_parse_der_nocopy()`
417 which allows copy-less parsing of DER encoded X.509 CRTs,
418 at the cost of additional lifetime constraints on the input
419 buffer, but at the benefit of reduced RAM consumption.
420 * Add a new function mbedtls_asn1_write_named_bitstring() to write ASN.1
421 named bitstring in DER as required by RFC 5280 Appendix B.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200422 * Add MBEDTLS_REMOVE_3DES_CIPHERSUITES to allow removing 3DES ciphersuites
423 from the default list (enabled by default). See
424 https://sweet32.info/SWEET32_CCS16.pdf.

427 * Add a new X.509 API call `mbedtls_x509_parse_der_nocopy()`.
428 See the Features section for more information.
429 * Allow to opt in to the removal the API mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()
430 for the benefit of saving RAM, by disabling the new compile-time
431 option MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE (enabled by default for
432 API stability). Disabling this option makes mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()
433 always return NULL, and removes the peer_cert field from the
434 mbedtls_ssl_session structure which otherwise stores the peer's
435 certificate.

437Security
438 * Make mbedtls_ecdh_get_params return an error if the second key
439 belongs to a different group from the first. Before, if an application
440 passed keys that belonged to different group, the first key's data was
441 interpreted according to the second group, which could lead to either
442 an error or a meaningless output from mbedtls_ecdh_get_params. In the
443 latter case, this could expose at most 5 bits of the private key.
444
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200445Bugfix

447 when MBEDTLS_ECP_ALT is defined. Reported by jwhui. Fixes #2242.
448 * Run the AD too long test only if MBEDTLS_CCM_ALT is not defined.
449 Raised as a comment in #1996.
450 * Reduce the stack consumption of mbedtls_mpi_fill_random() which could
451 previously lead to a stack overflow on constrained targets.
452 * Add `MBEDTLS_SELF_TEST` for the mbedtls_self_test functions
453 in the header files, which missed the precompilation check. #971
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +0200454 * Fix returning the value 1 when mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey failed.
455 * Remove a duplicate #include in a sample program. Fixed by Masashi Honma #2326.
456 * Remove the mbedtls namespacing from the header file, to fix a "file not found"
457 build error. Fixed by Haijun Gu #2319.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200458 * Fix signed-to-unsigned integer conversion warning

463 (e.g. config.h.bak). Fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin) #2407.
464 * Ensure that unused bits are zero when writing ASN.1 bitstrings when using
465 mbedtls_asn1_write_bitstring().
466 * Fix issue when writing the named bitstrings in KeyUsage and NsCertType
467 extensions in CSRs and CRTs that caused these bitstrings to not be encoded
468 correctly as trailing zeroes were not accounted for as unused bits in the
469 leading content octet. Fixes #1610.

475 instead of relying on other header files that they include.
476 Inserted as an enhancement for #1371

478 in RFC 7468. Found by Michael Ernst. Fixes #767.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +0200479 * Correct many misspellings. Fixed by MisterDA #2371.
480 * Provide an abstraction of vsnprintf to allow alternative implementations
481 for platforms that don't provide it. Based on contributions by Joris Aerts
482 and Nathaniel Wesley Filardo.
483 * Fix clobber list in MIPS assembly for large integer multiplication.
484 Previously, this could lead to functionally incorrect assembly being
485 produced by some optimizing compilers, showing up as failures in
486 e.g. RSA or ECC signature operations. Reported in #1722, fix suggested
487 by Aurelien Jarno and submitted by Jeffrey Martin.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200488 * Reduce the complexity of the timing tests. They were assuming more than the
489 underlying OS actually guarantees.
Jerome Forissier11fa71b2020-04-20 17:17:56 +0200490 * Fix configuration queries in ssl-opt.h. #2030

Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200492 * Re-enable certain interoperability tests in ssl-opt.sh which had previously
493 been disabled for lack of a sufficiently recent version of GnuTLS on the CI.
494 * Ciphersuites based on 3DES now have the lowest priority by default when

500 * Add a new config.h option of MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS that enables validation
501 of parameters in the API. This allows detection of obvious misuses of the
502 API, such as passing NULL pointers. The API of existing functions hasn't
503 changed, but requirements on parameters have been made more explicit in
504 the documentation. See the corresponding API documentation for each
505 function to see for which parameter values it is defined. This feature is
506 disabled by default. See its API documentation in config.h for additional
507 steps you have to take when enabling it.

510 * The following functions in the random generator modules have been
511 deprecated and replaced as shown below. The new functions change
512 the return type from void to int to allow returning error codes when
513 using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT for the underlying AES or message digest
514 primitive. Fixes #1798.
515 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update() -> mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret()
516 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update() -> mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update_ret()
517 * Extend ECDH interface to enable alternative implementations.
518 * Deprecate error codes of the form MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx_INVALID_KEY_LENGTH for
519 ARIA, CAMELLIA and Blowfish. These error codes will be replaced by
520 the more generic per-module error codes MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx_BAD_INPUT_DATA.
521 * Additional parameter validation checks have been added for the following
522 modules - AES, ARIA, Blowfish, CAMELLIA, CCM, GCM, DHM, ECP, ECDSA, ECDH,
523 ECJPAKE, SHA, Chacha20 and Poly1305, cipher, pk, RSA, and MPI.
524 Where modules have had parameter validation added, existing parameter
525 checks may have changed. Some modules, such as Chacha20 had existing
526 parameter validation whereas other modules had little. This has now been
527 changed so that the same level of validation is present in all modules, and
528 that it is now optional with the MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS flag which by default
529 is off. That means that checks which were previously present by default
530 will no longer be.
531
532New deprecations
533 * Deprecate mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update

539 permitted by the ISO C99 standard. Found by Aaron Jones. Fixes #482.
540 * Fix runtime error in `mbedtls_platform_entropy_poll()` when run
541 through qemu user emulation. Reported and fix suggested by randombit
542 in #1212. Fixes #1212.
543 * Fix an unsafe bounds check when restoring an SSL session from a ticket.
544 This could lead to a buffer overflow, but only in case ticket authentication
545 was broken. Reported and fix suggested by Guido Vranken in #659.
546 * Add explicit integer to enumeration type casts to example program
547 programs/pkey/gen_key which previously led to compilation failure
548 on some toolchains. Reported by phoenixmcallister. Fixes #2170.
549 * Fix double initialization of ECC hardware that made some accelerators

575 * Fix timing variations and memory access variations in RSA PKCS#1 v1.5
576 decryption that could lead to a Bleichenbacher-style padding oracle
577 attack. In TLS, this affects servers that accept ciphersuites based on
578 RSA decryption (i.e. ciphersuites whose name contains RSA but not
579 (EC)DH(E)). Discovered by Eyal Ronen (Weizmann Institute), Robert Gillham
580 (University of Adelaide), Daniel Genkin (University of Michigan),
581 Adi Shamir (Weizmann Institute), David Wong (NCC Group), and Yuval Yarom
582 (University of Adelaide, Data61). The attack is described in more detail
583 in the paper available here: http://cat.eyalro.net/cat.pdf CVE-2018-19608
584 * In mbedtls_mpi_write_binary(), don't leak the exact size of the number
585 via branching and memory access patterns. An attacker who could submit
586 a plaintext for RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 decryption but only observe the timing
587 of the decryption and not its result could nonetheless decrypt RSA
588 plaintexts and forge RSA signatures. Other asymmetric algorithms may
589 have been similarly vulnerable. Reported by Eyal Ronen, Robert Gillham,
590 Daniel Genkin, Adi Shamir, David Wong and Yuval Yarom.

592 modules.

603Security
604 * Fix overly strict DN comparison when looking for CRLs belonging to a
605 particular CA. This previously led to ignoring CRLs when the CRL's issuer
606 name and the CA's subject name differed in their string encoding (e.g.,
607 one using PrintableString and the other UTF8String) or in the choice of
608 upper and lower case. Reported by Henrik Andersson of Bosch GmbH in issue
609 #1784.
610 * Fix a flawed bounds check in server PSK hint parsing. In case the
611 incoming message buffer was placed within the first 64KiB of address
612 space and a PSK-(EC)DHE ciphersuite was used, this allowed an attacker
613 to trigger a memory access up to 64KiB beyond the incoming message buffer,
614 potentially leading to an application crash or information disclosure.
615 * Fix mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() to use more rounds of probabilistic testing. The
616 previous settings for the number of rounds made it practical for an
617 adversary to construct non-primes that would be erroneously accepted as
618 primes with high probability. This does not have an impact on the
619 security of TLS, but can matter in other contexts with numbers chosen
620 potentially by an adversary that should be prime and can be validated.
621 For example, the number of rounds was enough to securely generate RSA key
622 pairs or Diffie-Hellman parameters, but was insufficient to validate
623 Diffie-Hellman parameters properly.

625 Kenneth G. Paterson and Juraj Somorovsky.
626
627Features
628 * Add support for temporarily suspending expensive ECC computations after
629 some configurable amount of operations. This is intended to be used in
630 constrained, single-threaded systems where ECC is time consuming and can
631 block other operations until they complete. This is disabled by default,
632 but can be enabled by MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE at compile time and
633 configured by mbedtls_ecp_set_max_ops() at runtime. It applies to the new
634 xxx_restartable functions in ECP, ECDSA, PK and X.509 (CRL not supported
635 yet), and to existing functions in ECDH and SSL (currently only
636 implemented client-side, for ECDHE-ECDSA ciphersuites in TLS 1.2,
637 including client authentication).
638 * Add support for Arm CPU DSP extensions to accelerate asymmetric key
639 operations. On CPUs where the extensions are available, they can accelerate
640 MPI multiplications used in ECC and RSA cryptography. Contributed by
641 Aurelien Jarno.
642 * Extend RSASSA-PSS signature to allow a smaller salt size. Previously, PSS
643 signature always used a salt with the same length as the hash, and returned
644 an error if this was not possible. Now the salt size may be up to two bytes
645 shorter. This allows the library to support all hash and signature sizes
646 that comply with FIPS 186-4, including SHA-512 with a 1024-bit key.
647 * Add support for 128-bit keys in CTR_DRBG. Note that using keys shorter
648 than 256 bits limits the security of generated material to 128 bits.
649
650API Changes
651 * Add a common error code of `MBEDTLS_ERR_PLATFORM_FEATURE_UNSUPPORTED` for
652 a feature that is not supported by underlying alternative
653 implementations implementing cryptographic primitives. This is useful for
654 hardware accelerators that don't implement all options or features.
655
656New deprecations
657 * All module specific errors following the form
658 MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE that indicate a feature is not
659 supported are deprecated and are now replaced by the new equivalent
660 platform error.
661 * All module specific generic hardware acceleration errors following the
662 form MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED that are deprecated and are replaced
663 by the equivalent plaform error.
664 * Deprecate the function mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() in favor of
665 mbedtls_mpi_is_prime_ext() which allows specifying the number of
666 Miller-Rabin rounds.
667
668Bugfix

670 application leading to a memory leak in case both
671 MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C and MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BACKTRACE are set.
672 Fixes #2069.
673 * Fix a bug in the update function for SSL ticket keys which previously
674 invalidated keys of a lifetime of less than a 1s. Fixes #1968.
675 * Fix failure in hmac_drbg in the benchmark sample application, when
676 MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is defined. Found by TrinityTonic, #1095
677 * Fix a bug in the record decryption routine ssl_decrypt_buf()
678 which lead to accepting properly authenticated but improperly
679 padded records in case of CBC ciphersuites using Encrypt-then-MAC.
680 * Fix memory leak and freeing without initialization in the example
681 program programs/x509/cert_write. Fixes #1422.
682 * Ignore IV in mbedtls_cipher_set_iv() when the cipher mode is
683 MBEDTLS_MODE_ECB. Found by ezdevelop. Fixes #1091.
684 * Zeroize memory used for buffering or reassembling handshake messages
685 after use.
686 * Use `mbedtls_platform_zeroize()` instead of `memset()` for zeroization
687 of sensitive data in the example programs aescrypt2 and crypt_and_hash.
688 * Change the default string format used for various X.509 DN attributes to
689 UTF8String. Previously, the use of the PrintableString format led to
690 wildcards and non-ASCII characters being unusable in some DN attributes.
691 Reported by raprepo in #1860 and by kevinpt in #468. Fix contributed by
692 Thomas-Dee.
693 * Fix compilation failure for configurations which use compile time
694 replacements of standard calloc/free functions through the macros
695 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_CALLOC_MACRO and MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_FREE_MACRO.
696 Reported by ole-de and ddhome2006. Fixes #882, #1642 and #1706.

702 test the handling of large packets and small packets on the client side
703 in the same way as on the server side.
704 * Change the dtls_client and dtls_server samples to work by default over
705 IPv6 and optionally by a build option over IPv4.
706 * Change the use of Windows threading to use Microsoft Visual C++ runtime
707 calls, rather than Win32 API calls directly. This is necessary to avoid
708 conflict with C runtime usage. Found and fixed by irwir.
709 * Remember the string format of X.509 DN attributes when replicating
710 X.509 DNs. Previously, DN attributes were always written in their default
711 string format (mostly PrintableString), which could lead to CRTs being
712 created which used PrintableStrings in the issuer field even though the
713 signing CA used UTF8Strings in its subject field; while X.509 compliant,
714 such CRTs were rejected in some applications, e.g. some versions of
715 Firefox, curl and GnuTLS. Reported in #1033 by Moschn. Fix contributed by
716 Thomas-Dee.
717 * Improve documentation of mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result().
718 Fixes #517 reported by github-monoculture.
719 * Add MBEDTLS_MPI_GEN_PRIME_FLAG_LOW_ERR flag to mbedtls_mpi_gen_prime() and
720 use it to reduce error probability in RSA key generation to levels mandated
721 by FIPS-186-4.

740 * Fix an issue in the X.509 module which could lead to a buffer overread
741 during certificate extensions parsing. In case of receiving malformed
742 input (extensions length field equal to 0), an illegal read of one byte
743 beyond the input buffer is made. Found and analyzed by Nathan Crandall.
744
745Features
746 * Add support for fragmentation of outgoing DTLS handshake messages. This
747 is controlled by the maximum fragment length as set locally or negotiated
748 with the peer, as well as by a new per-connection MTU option, set using
749 mbedtls_ssl_set_mtu().
750 * Add support for auto-adjustment of MTU to a safe value during the
751 handshake when flights do not get through (RFC 6347, section 4.1.1.1,
752 last paragraph).
753 * Add support for packing multiple records within a single datagram,
754 enabled by default.
755 * Add support for buffering out-of-order handshake messages in DTLS.
756 The maximum amount of RAM used for this can be controlled by the
757 compile-time constant MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_MAX_BUFFERING defined
758 in mbedtls/config.h.
759
760API Changes
761 * Add function mbedtls_ssl_set_datagram_packing() to configure
762 the use of datagram packing (enabled by default).
763
764Bugfix
765 * Fix a potential memory leak in mbedtls_ssl_setup() function. An allocation
766 failure in the function could lead to other buffers being leaked.
767 * Fixes an issue with MBEDTLS_CHACHAPOLY_C which would not compile if
768 MBEDTLS_ARC4_C and MBEDTLS_CIPHER_NULL_CIPHER weren't also defined. #1890
769 * Fix a memory leak in ecp_mul_comb() if ecp_precompute_comb() fails.
770 Fix contributed by Espressif Systems.
771 * Add ecc extensions only if an ecc based ciphersuite is used.
772 This improves compliance to RFC 4492, and as a result, solves
773 interoperability issues with BouncyCastle. Raised by milenamil in #1157.
774 * Replace printf with mbedtls_printf in the ARIA module. Found by
775 TrinityTonic in #1908.
776 * Fix potential use-after-free in mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len()
777 and mbedtls_ssl_get_record_expansion() after a session reset. Fixes #1941.
778 * Fix a bug that caused SSL/TLS clients to incorrectly abort the handshake
779 with TLS versions 1.1 and earlier when the server requested authentication
780 without providing a list of CAs. This was due to an overly strict bounds
781 check in parsing the CertificateRequest message,
782 introduced in Mbed TLS 2.12.0. Fixes #1954.
783 * Fix a miscalculation of the maximum record expansion in
784 mbedtls_ssl_get_record_expansion() in case of ChachaPoly ciphersuites,
785 or CBC ciphersuites in (D)TLS versions 1.1 or higher. Fixes #1913, #1914.
786 * Fix undefined shifts with negative values in certificates parsing
787 (found by Catena cyber using oss-fuzz)
788 * Fix memory leak and free without initialization in pk_encrypt
789 and pk_decrypt example programs. Reported by Brace Stout. Fixes #1128.
790 * Remove redundant else statement. Raised by irwir. Fixes #1776.

797 * Improve compatibility with some alternative CCM implementations by using
798 CCM test vectors from RAM.
799 * Add support for buffering of out-of-order handshake messages.
800 * Add warnings to the documentation of the HKDF module to reduce the risk
801 of misusing the mbedtls_hkdf_extract() and mbedtls_hkdf_expand()
802 functions. Fixes #1775. Reported by Brian J. Murray.

806Security
807 * Fix a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based on CBC and using SHA-384,
808 in (D)TLS 1.0 to 1.2, that allowed an active network attacker to
809 partially recover the plaintext of messages under some conditions by
810 exploiting timing measurements. With DTLS, the attacker could perform
811 this recovery by sending many messages in the same connection. With TLS
812 or if mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only
813 worked if the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly
814 sent over connections manipulated by the attacker. Connections using GCM
815 or CCM instead of CBC, using hash sizes other than SHA-384, or using
816 Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected. The vulnerability was
817 caused by a miscalculation (for SHA-384) in a countermeasure to the
818 original Lucky 13 attack. Found by Kenny Paterson, Eyal Ronen and Adi
819 Shamir.
820 * Fix a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based on CBC, in (D)TLS 1.0 to
821 1.2, that allowed a local attacker, able to execute code on the local
822 machine as well as manipulate network packets, to partially recover the
823 plaintext of messages under some conditions by using a cache attack
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +0200824 targeting an internal MD/SHA buffer. With TLS or if
Jens Wiklander3d3b0592019-03-20 15:30:29 +0100825 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only worked if
826 the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly sent over
827 connections manipulated by the attacker. Connections using GCM or CCM
828 instead of CBC or using Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected.
829 Found by Kenny Paterson, Eyal Ronen and Adi Shamir.
830 * Add a counter-measure against a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based
831 on CBC, in (D)TLS 1.0 to 1.2, that allowed a local attacker, able to
832 execute code on the local machine as well as manipulate network packets,
833 to partially recover the plaintext of messages under some conditions (see
834 previous entry) by using a cache attack targeting the SSL input record
835 buffer. Connections using GCM or CCM instead of CBC or using
836 Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected. Found by Kenny Paterson,
837 Eyal Ronen and Adi Shamir.

841 authenticator Poly1305 and AEAD construct Chacha20-Poly1305. Contributed
842 by Daniel King.
843 * Add support for CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites from RFC 7905.
844 * Add platform support for the Haiku OS. (https://www.haiku-os.org).
845 Contributed by Augustin Cavalier.
846 * Make the receive and transmit buffers independent sizes, for situations
847 where the outgoing buffer can be fixed at a smaller size than the incoming
848 buffer, which can save some RAM. If buffer lengths are kept equal, there
849 is no functional difference. Contributed by Angus Gratton, and also
850 independently contributed again by Paul Sokolovsky.
851 * Add support for key wrapping modes based on AES as defined by
852 NIST SP 800-38F algorithms KW and KWP and by RFC 3394 and RFC 5649.
853

864 Philippe Antoine. Fixes #1623.
865 * Remove unused headers included in x509.c. Found by Chris Hanson and fixed
866 by Brendan Shanks. Part of a fix for #992.
867 * Fix compilation error when MBEDTLS_ARC4_C is disabled and
868 MBEDTLS_CIPHER_NULL_CIPHER is enabled. Found by TrinityTonic in #1719.
869 * Added length checks to some TLS parsing functions. Found and fixed by
870 Philippe Antoine from Catena cyber. #1663.
871 * Fix the inline assembly for the MPI multiply helper function for i386 and
872 i386 with SSE2. Found by László Langó. Fixes #1550
873 * Fix namespacing in header files. Remove the `mbedtls` namespacing in
874 the `#include` in the header files. Resolves #857
875 * Fix compiler warning of 'use before initialisation' in
876 mbedtls_pk_parse_key(). Found by Martin Boye Petersen and fixed by Dawid
877 Drozd. #1098
878 * Fix decryption for zero length messages (which contain all padding) when a
879 CBC based ciphersuite is used together with Encrypt-then-MAC. Previously,
880 such a message was wrongly reported as an invalid record and therefore lead
881 to the connection being terminated. Seen most often with OpenSSL using
882 TLS 1.0. Reported by @kFYatek and by Conor Murphy on the forum. Fix
883 contributed by Espressif Systems. Fixes #1632
884 * Fix ssl_client2 example to send application data with 0-length content
885 when the request_size argument is set to 0 as stated in the documentation.
886 Fixes #1833.
887 * Correct the documentation for `mbedtls_ssl_get_session()`. This API has
888 deep copy of the session, and the peer certificate is not lost. Fixes #926.
889 * Fix build using -std=c99. Fixed by Nick Wilson.

913 * In TLS servers, support offloading private key operations to an external
914 cryptoprocessor. Private key operations can be asynchronous to allow
915 non-blocking operation of the TLS server stack.
916
917Bugfix
918 * Fix the cert_write example to handle certificates signed with elliptic
919 curves as well as RSA. Fixes #777 found by dbedev.
920 * Fix for redefinition of _WIN32_WINNT to avoid overriding a definition
921 used by user applications. Found and fixed by Fabio Alessandrelli.

937
938API Changes
939 * Extend the platform module with a util component that contains
940 functionality shared by multiple Mbed TLS modules. At this stage
941 platform_util.h (and its associated platform_util.c) only contain
942 mbedtls_platform_zeroize(), which is a critical function from a security
943 point of view. mbedtls_platform_zeroize() needs to be regularly tested
944 against compilers to ensure that calls to it are not removed from the
945 output binary as part of redundant code elimination optimizations.
946 Therefore, mbedtls_platform_zeroize() is moved to the platform module to
947 facilitate testing and maintenance.

961 * Fix an issue in the X.509 module which could lead to a buffer overread
962 during certificate validation. Additionally, the issue could also lead to
963 unnecessary callback checks being made or to some validation checks to be
964 omitted. The overread could be triggered remotely, while the other issues
965 would require a non DER-compliant certificate to be correctly signed by a
966 trusted CA, or a trusted CA with a non DER-compliant certificate. Found by
967 luocm. Fixes #825.
968 * Fix the buffer length assertion in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
969 function which led to an arbitrary overread of the message buffer. The
970 overreads could be caused by receiving a malformed message at the point
971 where an optional signature algorithms list is expected when the signature
972 algorithms section is too short. In builds with debug output, the overread
973 data is output with the debug data.
974 * Fix a client-side bug in the validation of the server's ciphersuite choice
975 which could potentially lead to the client accepting a ciphersuite it didn't
976 offer or a ciphersuite that cannot be used with the TLS or DTLS version
977 chosen by the server. This could lead to corruption of internal data
978 structures for some configurations.

984 * Add initial support for Curve448 (RFC 7748). Only mbedtls_ecp_mul() and
985 ECDH primitive functions (mbedtls_ecdh_gen_public(),
986 mbedtls_ecdh_compute_shared()) are supported for now. Contributed by

990 * Extend the public API with the function of mbedtls_net_poll() to allow user
991 applications to wait for a network context to become ready before reading
992 or writing.
993 * Add function mbedtls_ssl_check_pending() to the public API to allow
994 a check for whether more more data is pending to be processed in the
995 internal message buffers.
996 This function is necessary to determine when it is safe to idle on the
997 underlying transport in case event-driven IO is used.

1011 Fixed by mnacamura.
1012 * Fix parsing of PKCS#8 encoded Elliptic Curve keys. Previously Mbed TLS was
1013 unable to parse keys which had only the optional parameters field of the
1014 ECPrivateKey structure. Found by Jethro Beekman, fixed in #1379.
1015 * Return the plaintext data more quickly on unpadded CBC decryption, as
1016 stated in the mbedtls_cipher_update() documentation. Contributed by
1017 Andy Leiserson.
1018 * Fix overriding and ignoring return values when parsing and writing to
1019 a file in pk_sign program. Found by kevlut in #1142.
1020 * Restrict usage of error code MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_READ to situations
1021 where data needs to be fetched from the underlying transport in order
1022 to make progress. Previously, this error code was also occasionally
1023 returned when unexpected messages were being discarded, ignoring that
1024 further messages could potentially already be pending to be processed
1025 in the internal buffers; these cases led to deadlocks when event-driven
1026 I/O was used. Found and reported by Hubert Mis in #772.
1027 * Fix buffer length assertions in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
1028 function which leads to a potential one byte overread of the message
1029 buffer.
1030 * Fix invalid buffer sizes passed to zlib during record compression and
1031 decompression.
1032 * Fix the soversion of libmbedcrypto to match the soversion of the
1033 maintained 2.7 branch. The soversion was increased in Mbed TLS
1034 version 2.7.1 to reflect breaking changes in that release, but the
1035 increment was missed in 2.8.0 and later releases outside of the 2.7 branch.

1042 public-key algorithms. Includes contributions by Gert van Dijk.
1043 * Improve negative testing of X.509 parsing.
1044 * Do not define global mutexes around readdir() and gmtime() in
1045 configurations where the feature is disabled. Found and fixed by Gergely
1046 Budai.
1047 * Harden the function mbedtls_ssl_config_free() against misuse, so that it
1048 doesn't leak memory if the user doesn't use mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk() and
1049 instead incorrectly manipulates the configuration structure directly.
1050 Found and fix submitted by junyeonLEE in #1220.
1051 * Provide an empty implementation of mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() when
1052 MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C is not enabled. This allows the use of PBKDF2
1053 without PBES2. Fixed by Marcos Del Sol Vives.

1069 transmitting more than the required length, return an error. Raised by
1070 Sam O'Connor in #1245.
1071 * Improve robustness of mbedtls_ssl_derive_keys against the use of
1072 HMAC functions with non-HMAC ciphersuites. Independently contributed
1073 by Jiayuan Chen in #1377. Fixes #1437.
1074 * Improve security of RSA key generation by including criteria from
1075 FIPS 186-4. Contributed by Jethro Beekman. #1380
1076 * Declare functions in header files even when an alternative implementation
1077 of the corresponding module is activated by defining the corresponding
1078 MBEDTLS_XXX_ALT macro. This means that alternative implementations do
1079 not need to copy the declarations, and ensures that they will have the
1080 same API.

1086 * The truncated HMAC extension now conforms to RFC 6066. This means
1087 that when both sides of a TLS connection negotiate the truncated
1088 HMAC extension, Mbed TLS can now interoperate with other
1089 compliant implementations, but this breaks interoperability with
1090 prior versions of Mbed TLS. To restore the old behavior, enable
1091 the (deprecated) option MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC_COMPAT in

1158 * MD functions deprecated in 2.7.0 are no longer inline, to provide
1159 a migration path for those depending on the library's ABI.
1160 * Clarify the documentation of mbedtls_ssl_setup.
1161 * Use (void) when defining functions with no parameters. Contributed by

1167 * Fix a heap corruption issue in the implementation of the truncated HMAC
1168 extension. When the truncated HMAC extension is enabled and CBC is used,
1169 sending a malicious application packet could be used to selectively corrupt
1170 6 bytes on the peer's heap, which could potentially lead to crash or remote
1171 code execution. The issue could be triggered remotely from either side in
1172 both TLS and DTLS. CVE-2018-0488
1173 * Fix a buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the hash was too large
1174 for the key size, which could potentially lead to crash or remote code
1175 execution. Found by Seth Terashima, Qualcomm Product Security Initiative,
1176 Qualcomm Technologies Inc. CVE-2018-0487
1177 * Fix buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the unmasked data is all
1178 zeros.
1179 * Fix an unsafe bounds check in ssl_parse_client_psk_identity() when adding
1180 64 KiB to the address of the SSL buffer and causing a wrap around.
1181 * Fix a potential heap buffer overflow in mbedtls_ssl_write(). When the (by
1182 default enabled) maximum fragment length extension is disabled in the
1183 config and the application data buffer passed to mbedtls_ssl_write
1184 is larger than the internal message buffer (16384 bytes by default), the
1185 latter overflows. The exploitability of this issue depends on whether the
1186 application layer can be forced into sending such large packets. The issue
1187 was independently reported by Tim Nordell via e-mail and by Florin Petriuc
1188 and sjorsdewit on GitHub. Fix proposed by Florin Petriuc in #1022.
1189 Fixes #707.
1190 * Add a provision to prevent compiler optimizations breaking the time
1191 constancy of mbedtls_ssl_safer_memcmp().
1192 * Ensure that buffers are cleared after use if they contain sensitive data.
1193 Changes were introduced in multiple places in the library.
1194 * Set PEM buffer to zero before freeing it, to avoid decoded private keys
1195 being leaked to memory after release.
1196 * Fix dhm_check_range() failing to detect trivial subgroups and potentially
1197 leaking 1 bit of the private key. Reported by prashantkspatil.
1198 * Make mbedtls_mpi_read_binary() constant-time with respect to the input
1199 data. Previously, trailing zero bytes were detected and omitted for the
1200 sake of saving memory, but potentially leading to slight timing
1201 differences. Reported by Marco Macchetti, Kudelski Group.
1202 * Wipe stack buffer temporarily holding EC private exponent
1203 after keypair generation.
1204 * Fix a potential heap buffer over-read in ALPN extension parsing
1205 (server-side). Could result in application crash, but only if an ALPN
1206 name larger than 16 bytes had been configured on the server.
1207 * Change default choice of DHE parameters from untrustworthy RFC 5114
1208 to RFC 3526 containing parameters generated in a nothing-up-my-sleeve
1209 manner.
1210
1211Features
1212 * Allow comments in test data files.
1213 * The selftest program can execute a subset of the tests based on command
1214 line arguments.
1215 * New unit tests for timing. Improve the self-test to be more robust
1216 when run on a heavily-loaded machine.
1217 * Add alternative implementation support for CCM and CMAC (MBEDTLS_CCM_ALT,
1218 MBEDTLS_CMAC_ALT). Submitted by Steven Cooreman, Silicon Labs.
1219 * Add support for alternative implementations of GCM, selected by the
1220 configuration flag MBEDTLS_GCM_ALT.
1221 * Add support for alternative implementations for ECDSA, controlled by new
1222 configuration flags MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT, MBEDTLS_ECDSA_VERIFY_ALT and
1223 MBEDTLS_ECDSDA_GENKEY_AT in config.h.
1224 The following functions from the ECDSA module can be replaced
1225 with alternative implementation:
1226 mbedtls_ecdsa_sign(), mbedtls_ecdsa_verify() and mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey().
1227 * Add support for alternative implementation of ECDH, controlled by the
1228 new configuration flags MBEDTLS_ECDH_COMPUTE_SHARED_ALT and
1229 MBEDTLS_ECDH_GEN_PUBLIC_ALT in config.h.
1230 The following functions from the ECDH module can be replaced
1231 with an alternative implementation:
1232 mbedtls_ecdh_gen_public() and mbedtls_ecdh_compute_shared().
1233 * Add support for alternative implementation of ECJPAKE, controlled by
1234 the new configuration flag MBEDTLS_ECJPAKE_ALT.
1235 * Add mechanism to provide alternative implementation of the DHM module.
1236
1237API Changes
1238 * Extend RSA interface by multiple functions allowing structure-
1239 independent setup and export of RSA contexts. Most notably,
1240 mbedtls_rsa_import() and mbedtls_rsa_complete() are introduced for setting
1241 up RSA contexts from partial key material and having them completed to the
1242 needs of the implementation automatically. This allows to setup private RSA
1243 contexts from keys consisting of N,D,E only, even if P,Q are needed for the
1244 purpose or CRT and/or blinding.
1245 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_RSA_ALT can be used to define alternative
1246 implementations of the RSA interface declared in rsa.h.
1247 * The following functions in the message digest modules (MD2, MD4, MD5,
1248 SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) have been deprecated and replaced as shown below.
1249 The new functions change the return type from void to int to allow
1250 returning error codes when using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT.
1251 mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts_ret()
1252 mbedtls_<MODULE>_update() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_update_ret()
1253 mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish_ret()
1254 mbedtls_<MODULE>_process() -> mbedtls_internal_<MODULE>_process()
1255
1256New deprecations
1257 * Deprecate usage of RSA primitives with non-matching key-type
1258 (e.g. signing with a public key).
1259 * Direct manipulation of structure fields of RSA contexts is deprecated.
1260 Users are advised to use the extended RSA API instead.
1261 * Deprecate usage of message digest functions that return void
1262 (mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts, mbedtls_<MODULE>_update,
1263 mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish and mbedtls_<MODULE>_process where <MODULE> is
1264 any of MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) in favor of functions
1265 that can return an error code.
1266 * Deprecate untrustworthy DHE parameters from RFC 5114. Superseded by
1267 parameters from RFC 3526 or the newly added parameters from RFC 7919.
1268 * Deprecate hex string DHE constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P etc.
1269 Supserseded by binary encoded constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P_BIN
1270 etc.
1271 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param() for setting default DHE parameters
1272 from hex strings. Superseded by mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param_bin()
1273 accepting DHM parameters in binary form, matching the new constants.
1274
1275Bugfix
1276 * Fix ssl_parse_record_header() to silently discard invalid DTLS records
1277 as recommended in RFC 6347 Section 4.1.2.7.
1278 * Fix memory leak in mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname() when called multiple times.
1279 Found by projectgus and Jethro Beekman, #836.
1280 * Fix usage help in ssl_server2 example. Found and fixed by Bei Lin.
Jens Wiklander817466c2018-05-22 13:49:31 +02001281 * Parse signature algorithm extension when renegotiating. Previously,
1282 renegotiated handshakes would only accept signatures using SHA-1
1283 regardless of the peer's preferences, or fail if SHA-1 was disabled.
Jens Wiklander3d3b0592019-03-20 15:30:29 +01001284 * Fix leap year calculation in x509_date_is_valid() to ensure that invalid
1285 dates on leap years with 100 and 400 intervals are handled correctly. Found
1286 by Nicholas Wilson. #694
1287 * Fix some invalid RSA-PSS signatures with keys of size 8N+1 that were
1288 accepted. Generating these signatures required the private key.
1289 * Fix out-of-memory problem when parsing 4096-bit PKCS8-encrypted RSA keys.
1290 Found independently by Florian in the mbed TLS forum and by Mishamax.
1291 #878, #1019.
1292 * Fix variable used before assignment compilation warnings with IAR
1293 toolchain. Found by gkerrien38.
1294 * Fix unchecked return codes from AES, DES and 3DES functions in
1295 pem_aes_decrypt(), pem_des_decrypt() and pem_des3_decrypt() respectively.
1296 If a call to one of the functions of the cryptographic primitive modules
1297 failed, the error may not be noticed by the function
1298 mbedtls_pem_read_buffer() causing it to return invalid values. Found by
1299 Guido Vranken. #756
1300 * Include configuration file in md.h, to fix compilation warnings.
1301 Reported by aaronmdjones in #1001
1302 * Correct extraction of signature-type from PK instance in X.509 CRT and CSR
1303 writing routines that prevented these functions to work with alternative
1304 RSA implementations. Raised by J.B. in the Mbed TLS forum. Fixes #1011.
1305 * Don't print X.509 version tag for v1 CRT's, and omit extensions for
1306 non-v3 CRT's.
1307 * Fix bugs in RSA test suite under MBEDTLS_NO_PLATFORM_ENTROPY. #1023 #1024
1308 * Fix net_would_block() to avoid modification by errno through fcntl() call.
1309 Found by nkolban. Fixes #845.
1310 * Fix handling of handshake messages in mbedtls_ssl_read() in case
1311 MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION is disabled. Found by erja-gp.
1312 * Add a check for invalid private parameters in mbedtls_ecdsa_sign().
1313 Reported by Yolan Romailler.
1314 * Fix word size check in in pk.c to not depend on MBEDTLS_HAVE_INT64.
1315 * Fix incorrect unit in benchmark output. #850
1316 * Add size-checks for record and handshake message content, securing
1317 fragile yet non-exploitable code-paths.
1318 * Fix crash when calling mbedtls_ssl_cache_free() twice. Found by
1319 MilenkoMitrovic, #1104
1320 * Fix mbedtls_timing_alarm(0) on Unix and MinGW.
1321 * Fix use of uninitialized memory in mbedtls_timing_get_timer() when reset=1.
1322 * Fix possible memory leaks in mbedtls_gcm_self_test().
1323 * Added missing return code checks in mbedtls_aes_self_test().
1324 * Fix issues in RSA key generation program programs/x509/rsa_genkey and the
1325 RSA test suite where the failure of CTR DRBG initialization lead to
1326 freeing an RSA context and several MPI's without proper initialization
1327 beforehand.
1328 * Fix error message in programs/pkey/gen_key.c. Found and fixed by Chris Xue.
1329 * Fix programs/pkey/dh_server.c so that it actually works with dh_client.c.
1330 Found and fixed by Martijn de Milliano.
1331 * Fix an issue in the cipher decryption with the mode
1332 MBEDTLS_PADDING_ONE_AND_ZEROS that sometimes accepted invalid padding.
1333 Note, this padding mode is not used by the TLS protocol. Found and fixed by
1334 Micha Kraus.
1335 * Fix the entropy.c module to not call mbedtls_sha256_starts() or
1336 mbedtls_sha512_starts() in the mbedtls_entropy_init() function.
1337 * Fix the entropy.c module to ensure that mbedtls_sha256_init() or
1338 mbedtls_sha512_init() is called before operating on the relevant context
1339 structure. Do not assume that zeroizing a context is a correct way to
1340 reset it. Found independently by ccli8 on Github.
1341 * In mbedtls_entropy_free(), properly free the message digest context.
1342 * Fix status handshake status message in programs/ssl/dtls_client.c. Found
1343 and fixed by muddog.
1344
1345Changes
1346 * Extend cert_write example program by options to set the certificate version
1347 and the message digest. Further, allow enabling/disabling of authority
1348 identifier, subject identifier and basic constraints extensions.
1349 * Only check for necessary RSA structure fields in `mbedtls_rsa_private`. In
1350 particular, don't require P,Q if neither CRT nor blinding are
1351 used. Reported and fix proposed independently by satur9nine and sliai
1352 on GitHub.
1353 * Only run AES-192 self-test if AES-192 is available. Fixes #963.
1354 * Tighten the RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification code and remove the
1355 undeclared dependency of the RSA module on the ASN.1 module.
1356 * Update all internal usage of deprecated message digest functions to the
1357 new ones with return codes. In particular, this modifies the
1358 mbedtls_md_info_t structure. Propagate errors from these functions
1359 everywhere except some locations in the ssl_tls.c module.
1360 * Improve CTR_DRBG error handling by propagating underlying AES errors.
1361 * Add MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED error codes for all cryptography
1362 modules where the software implementation can be replaced by a hardware
1363 implementation.
1364 * Add explicit warnings for the use of MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA-1, DES and ARC4
1365 throughout the library.

1369Security
1370 * Fix authentication bypass in SSL/TLS: when authmode is set to optional,
1371 mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result() would incorrectly return 0 when the peer's
1372 X.509 certificate chain had more than MBEDTLS_X509_MAX_INTERMEDIATE_CA
1373 (default: 8) intermediates, even when it was not trusted. This could be
1374 triggered remotely from either side. (With authmode set to 'required'
1375 (the default), the handshake was correctly aborted).
1376 * Reliably wipe sensitive data after use in the AES example applications
1377 programs/aes/aescrypt2 and programs/aes/crypt_and_hash.
1378 Found by Laurent Simon.
1379
1380Features
1381 * Add the functions mbedtls_platform_setup() and mbedtls_platform_teardown()
1382 and the context struct mbedtls_platform_context to perform
1383 platform-specific setup and teardown operations. The macro
1384 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETUP_TEARDOWN_ALT allows the functions to be overridden
1385 by the user in a platform_alt.h file. These new functions are required in
1386 some embedded environments to provide a means of initialising underlying
1387 cryptographic acceleration hardware.
1388
1389API Changes
1390 * Reverted API/ABI breaking changes introduced in mbed TLS 2.5.1, to make the
1391 API consistent with mbed TLS 2.5.0. Specifically removed the inline
1392 qualifier from the functions mbedtls_aes_decrypt, mbedtls_aes_encrypt,
1393 mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_uses_ec and mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_uses_psk. Found
1394 by James Cowgill. #978
1395 * Certificate verification functions now set flags to -1 in case the full
1396 chain was not verified due to an internal error (including in the verify
1397 callback) or chain length limitations.
1398 * With authmode set to optional, the TLS handshake is now aborted if the
1399 verification of the peer's certificate failed due to an overlong chain or
1400 a fatal error in the verify callback.
1401
1402Bugfix
1403 * Add a check if iv_len is zero in GCM, and return an error if it is zero.
1404 Reported by roberto. #716
1405 * Replace preprocessor condition from #if defined(MBEDTLS_THREADING_PTHREAD)
1406 to #if defined(MBEDTLS_THREADING_C) as the library cannot assume they will
1407 always be implemented by pthread support. #696
1408 * Fix a resource leak on Windows platforms in mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path(),
1409 in the case of an error. Found by redplait. #590
1410 * Add MBEDTLS_MPI_CHK to check for error value of mbedtls_mpi_fill_random.
1411 Reported and fix suggested by guidovranken. #740
1412 * Fix conditional preprocessor directives in bignum.h to enable 64-bit
1413 compilation when using ARM Compiler 6.
1414 * Fix a potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
1415 encoded X.509 CRLs. The overflow could enable maliciously constructed CRLs
1416 to bypass the version verification check. Found by Peng Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin,
1417 KNOX Security, Samsung Research America
1418 * Fix potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
1419 encoded X.509 CSRs. The overflow could enable maliciously constructed CSRs
1420 to bypass the version verification check. Found by Peng Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin,
1421 KNOX Security, Samsung Research America
1422 * Fix a potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
1423 encoded X.509 certificates. The overflow could enable maliciously
1424 constructed certificates to bypass the certificate verification check.
1425 * Fix a call to the libc function time() to call the platform abstraction
1426 function mbedtls_time() instead. Found by wairua. #666
1427 * Avoid shadowing of time and index functions through mbed TLS function
1428 arguments. Found by inestlerode. #557.
1429
1430Changes
1431 * Added config.h option MBEDTLS_NO_UDBL_DIVISION, to prevent the use of
1432 64-bit division. This is useful on embedded platforms where 64-bit division
1433 created a dependency on external libraries. #708
1434 * Removed mutexes from ECP hardware accelerator code. Now all hardware
1435 accelerator code in the library leaves concurrency handling to the
1436 platform. Reported by Steven Cooreman. #863
1437 * Define the macro MBEDTLS_AES_ROM_TABLES in the configuration file
1438 config-no-entropy.h to reduce the RAM footprint.
1439 * Added a test script that can be hooked into git that verifies commits
1440 before they are pushed.

1446 * Fixed unlimited overread of heap-based buffer in mbedtls_ssl_read().
1447 The issue could only happen client-side with renegotiation enabled.
1448 Could result in DoS (application crash) or information leak
1449 (if the application layer sent data read from mbedtls_ssl_read()
1450 back to the server or to a third party). Can be triggered remotely.
1451 * Removed SHA-1 and RIPEMD-160 from the default hash algorithms for
1452 certificate verification. SHA-1 can be turned back on with a compile-time
1453 option if needed.
1454 * Fixed offset in FALLBACK_SCSV parsing that caused TLS server to fail to
1455 detect it sometimes. Reported by Hugo Leisink. #810
1456 * Tighten parsing of RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures, to avoid a
1457 potential Bleichenbacher/BERserk-style attack.
1458
1459Bugfix
1460 * Remove size zero arrays from ECJPAKE test suite. Size zero arrays are not
1461 valid C and they prevented the test from compiling in Visual Studio 2015
1462 and with GCC using the -Wpedantic compilation option.
1463 * Fix insufficient support for signature-hash-algorithm extension,
1464 resulting in compatibility problems with Chrome. Found by hfloyrd. #823
1465 * Fix behaviour that hid the original cause of fatal alerts in some cases
1466 when sending the alert failed. The fix makes sure not to hide the error
1467 that triggered the alert.
1468 * Fix SSLv3 renegotiation behaviour and stop processing data received from
1469 peer after sending a fatal alert to refuse a renegotiation attempt.
1470 Previous behaviour was to keep processing data even after the alert has
1471 been sent.
1472 * Accept empty trusted CA chain in authentication mode

Jens Wiklander817466c2018-05-22 13:49:31 +02001474 * Fix implementation of mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate() to not annihilate
1475 fatal errors in authentication mode MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL and to
1476 reflect bad EC curves within verification result.
1477 * Fix bug that caused the modular inversion function to accept the invalid
1478 modulus 1 and therefore to hang. Found by blaufish. #641.
1479 * Fix incorrect sign computation in modular exponentiation when the base is
1480 a negative MPI. Previously the result was always negative. Found by Guido
1481 Vranken.

1483 that was triggered uppon reading an empty line. Found by Guido Vranken.

1506 This involved exposing parts of the internal interface to enable
1507 replacing the core functions and adding and alternative, module level
1508 replacement support for enabling the extension of the interface.
1509 * Add a new configuration option to 'mbedtls_ssl_config' to enable
1510 suppressing the CA list in Certificate Request messages. The default
1511 behaviour has not changed, namely every configured CAs name is included.
1512

1534 * Add checks to prevent signature forgeries for very large messages while
1535 using RSA through the PK module in 64-bit systems. The issue was caused by
1536 some data loss when casting a size_t to an unsigned int value in the
1537 functions rsa_verify_wrap(), rsa_sign_wrap(), rsa_alt_sign_wrap() and

1552 team. #569 CVE-2017-2784
1553
1554Bugfix
1555 * Fix output certificate verification flags set by x509_crt_verify_top() when
1556 traversing a chain of trusted CA. The issue would cause both flags,
1557 MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_NOT_TRUSTED and MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_EXPIRED, to be
1558 set when the verification conditions are not met regardless of the cause.
1559 Found by Harm Verhagen and inestlerode. #665 #561
1560 * Fix the redefinition of macro ssl_set_bio to an undefined symbol
1561 mbedtls_ssl_set_bio_timeout in compat-1.3.h, by removing it.
1562 Found by omlib-lin. #673
1563 * Fix unused variable/function compilation warnings in pem.c, x509_crt.c and
1564 x509_csr.c that are reported when building mbed TLS with a config.h that
1565 does not define MBEDTLS_PEM_PARSE_C. Found by omnium21. #562
1566 * Fix incorrect renegotiation condition in ssl_check_ctr_renegotiate() that
1567 would compare 64 bits of the record counter instead of 48 bits as indicated
1568 in RFC 6347 Section 4.3.1. This could cause the execution of the
1569 renegotiation routines at unexpected times when the protocol is DTLS. Found
1570 by wariua. #687
1571 * Fixed multiple buffer overreads in mbedtls_pem_read_buffer() when parsing
1572 the input string in PEM format to extract the different components. Found

1583 Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin, KNOX Security, Samsung Research America.
1584 * Fix potential memory leak in mbedtls_x509_crl_parse(). The leak was caused
1585 by missing calls to mbedtls_pem_free() in cases when a
1586 MBEDTLS_ERR_PEM_NO_HEADER_FOOTER_PRESENT error was encountered. Found and
1587 fix proposed by Guido Vranken. #722
1588 * Fixed the templates used to generate project and solution files for Visual
1589 Studio 2015 as well as the files themselves, to remove a build warning
1590 generated in Visual Studio 2015. Reported by Steve Valliere. #742

1622 * Added hardware entropy selftest to verify that the hardware entropy source
1623 is functioning correctly.
1624 * Added a script to print build environment info for diagnostic use in test
1625 scripts, which is also now called by all.sh.
1626 * Added the macro MBEDTLS_X509_MAX_FILE_PATH_LEN that enables the user to
1627 configure the maximum length of a file path that can be buffered when
1628 calling mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path().
1629 * Added a configuration file config-no-entropy.h that configures the subset of
1630 library features that do not require an entropy source.
1631 * Added the macro MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_MIN_HARDWARE in config.h. This allows users
1632 to configure the minimum number of bytes for entropy sources using the
1633 mbedtls_hardware_poll() function.
1634
1635Bugfix
1636 * Fix for platform time abstraction to avoid dependency issues where a build

1669
1670Changes
1671 * Extended test coverage of special cases, and added new timing test suite.
1672 * Removed self-tests from the basic-built-test.sh script, and added all
1673 missing self-tests to the test suites, to ensure self-tests are only
1674 executed once.
1675 * Added support for 3 and 4 byte lengths to mbedtls_asn1_write_len().
1676 * Added support for a Yotta specific configuration file -
1677 through the symbol YOTTA_CFG_MBEDTLS_TARGET_CONFIG_FILE.
1678 * Added optimization for code space for X.509/OID based on configured
1679 features. Contributed by Aviv Palivoda.
1680 * Renamed source file library/net.c to library/net_sockets.c to avoid
1681 naming collision in projects which also have files with the common name
1682 net.c. For consistency, the corresponding header file, net.h, is marked as
1683 deprecated, and its contents moved to net_sockets.h.
1684 * Changed the strategy for X.509 certificate parsing and validation, to no
1685 longer disregard certificates with unrecognised fields.

1950 * All public identifiers moved to the mbedtls_* or MBEDTLS_* namespace.
1951 Some names have been further changed to make them more consistent.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02001952 Migration helpers scripts/rename.pl and include/mbedtls/compat-1.3.h are
Jens Wiklander817466c2018-05-22 13:49:31 +02001953 provided. Full list of renamings in scripts/data_files/rename-1.3-2.0.txt
1954 * Renamings of fields inside structures, not covered by the previous list:
1955 mbedtls_cipher_info_t.key_length -> key_bitlen
1956 mbedtls_cipher_context_t.key_length -> key_bitlen
1957 mbedtls_ecp_curve_info.size -> bit_size
1958 * Headers are now found in the 'mbedtls' directory (previously 'polarssl').
1959 * The following _init() functions that could return errors have
1960 been split into an _init() that returns void and another function that
1961 should generally be the first function called on this context after init:
1962 mbedtls_ssl_init() -> mbedtls_ssl_setup()
1963 mbedtls_ccm_init() -> mbedtls_ccm_setkey()
1964 mbedtls_gcm_init() -> mbedtls_gcm_setkey()
1965 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_init() -> mbedtls_hmac_drbg_seed(_buf)()
1966 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_init() -> mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed()
1967 Note that for mbedtls_ssl_setup(), you need to be done setting up the
1968 ssl_config structure before calling it.
1969 * Most ssl_set_xxx() functions (all except ssl_set_bio(), ssl_set_hostname(),
1970 ssl_set_session() and ssl_set_client_transport_id(), plus
1971 ssl_legacy_renegotiation()) have been renamed to mbedtls_ssl_conf_xxx()
1972 (see rename.pl and compat-1.3.h above) and their first argument's type
1973 changed from ssl_context to ssl_config.
1974 * ssl_set_bio() changed signature (contexts merged, order switched, one
1975 additional callback for read-with-timeout).
1976 * The following functions have been introduced and must be used in callback
1977 implementations (SNI, PSK) instead of their *conf counterparts:
1978 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_own_cert()
1979 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_ca_chain()
1980 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk()
1981 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_ca_chain() lost its last argument (peer_cn), now set
1982 using mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname().
1983 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_cache() changed prototype (only one context
1984 pointer, parameters reordered).
1985 * On server, mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets_cb() must now be used in
1986 place of mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets() to enable session tickets.
1987 * The SSL debug callback gained two new arguments (file name, line number).
1988 * Debug modes were removed.
1989 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_truncated_hmac() now returns void.
1990 * mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_init() now returns void.
1991 * X.509 verification flags are now an uint32_t. Affect the signature of:
1992 mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result()
1993 mbedtls_x509_ctr_verify_info()
1994 mbedtls_x509_crt_verify() (flags, f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
1995 mbedtls_ssl_conf_verify() (f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
1996 * The following functions changed prototype to avoid an in-out length
1997 parameter:
1998 mbedtls_base64_encode()
1999 mbedtls_base64_decode()
2000 mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
2001 mbedtls_dhm_calc_secret()
2002 * In the NET module, all "int" and "int *" arguments for file descriptors
2003 changed type to "mbedtls_net_context *".
2004 * net_accept() gained new arguments for the size of the client_ip buffer.
2005 * In the threading layer, mbedtls_mutex_init() and mbedtls_mutex_free() now
2006 return void.
Jerome Forissier5b25c762020-04-07 11:18:49 +02002007 * ecdsa_write_signature() gained an additional md_alg argument and
Jens Wiklander817466c2018-05-22 13:49:31 +02002008 ecdsa_write_signature_det() was deprecated.
2009 * pk_sign() no longer accepts md_alg == POLARSSL_MD_NONE with ECDSA.
2010 * Last argument of x509_crt_check_key_usage() and
2011 mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_key_usage() changed from int to unsigned.
2012 * test_ca_list (from certs.h) is renamed to test_cas_pem and is only
2013 available if POLARSSL_PEM_PARSE_C is defined (it never worked without).
2014 * Test certificates in certs.c are no longer guaranteed to be nul-terminated
2015 strings; use the new *_len variables instead of strlen().
2016 * Functions mbedtls_x509_xxx_parse(), mbedtls_pk_parse_key(),
2017 mbedtls_pk_parse_public_key() and mbedtls_dhm_parse_dhm() now expect the
2018 length parameter to include the terminating null byte for PEM input.
2019 * Signature of mpi_mul_mpi() changed to make the last argument unsigned
2020 * calloc() is now used instead of malloc() everywhere. API of platform
2021 layer and the memory_buffer_alloc module changed accordingly.
2022 (Thanks to Mansour Moufid for helping with the replacement.)
2023 * Change SSL_DISABLE_RENEGOTIATION config.h flag to SSL_RENEGOTIATION
2024 (support for renegotiation now needs explicit enabling in config.h).
2025 * Split MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME into MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME and MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE
2026 in config.h
2027 * net_connect() and net_bind() have a new 'proto' argument to choose
2028 between TCP and UDP, using the macros NET_PROTO_TCP or NET_PROTO_UDP.
2029 Their 'port' argument type is changed to a string.
2030 * Some constness fixes
2031
2032Removals
2033 * Removed mbedtls_ecp_group_read_string(). Only named groups are supported.
2034 * Removed mbedtls_ecp_sub() and mbedtls_ecp_add(), use
2035 mbedtls_ecp_muladd().
2036 * Removed individual mdX_hmac, shaX_hmac, mdX_file and shaX_file functions
2037 (use generic functions from md.h)
2038 * Removed mbedtls_timing_msleep(). Use mbedtls_net_usleep() or a custom
2039 waiting function.
2040 * Removed test DHM parameters from the test certs module.
2041 * Removed the PBKDF2 module (use PKCS5).
2042 * Removed POLARSSL_ERROR_STRERROR_BC (use mbedtls_strerror()).

2045 * Configuration options POLARSSL_HAVE_LONGLONG was removed (now always on).
2046 * Configuration options POLARSSL_HAVE_INT8 and POLARSSL_HAVE_INT16 have
2047 been removed (compiler is required to support 32-bit operations).
2048 * Configuration option POLARSSL_HAVE_IPV6 was removed (always enabled).
2049 * Removed test program o_p_test, the script compat.sh does more.
2050 * Removed test program ssl_test, superseded by ssl-opt.sh.
2051 * Removed helper script active-config.pl
2052
2053New deprecations
2054 * md_init_ctx() is deprecated in favour of md_setup(), that adds a third
2055 argument (allowing memory savings if HMAC is not used)
2056
2057Semi-API changes (technically public, morally private)
2058 * Renamed a few headers to include _internal in the name. Those headers are
2059 not supposed to be included by users.
2060 * Changed md_info_t into an opaque structure (use md_get_xxx() accessors).
2061 * Changed pk_info_t into an opaque structure.
2062 * Changed cipher_base_t into an opaque structure.
2063 * Removed sig_oid2 and rename sig_oid1 to sig_oid in x509_crt and x509_crl.

2065 * Removed r and s from ecdsa_context
2066 * Removed mode from des_context and des3_context
2067
2068Default behavior changes
2069 * The default minimum TLS version is now TLS 1.0.
2070 * RC4 is now blacklisted by default in the SSL/TLS layer, and excluded from the
2071 default ciphersuite list returned by ssl_list_ciphersuites()
2072 * Support for receiving SSLv2 ClientHello is now disabled by default at
2073 compile time.
2074 * The default authmode for SSL/TLS clients is now REQUIRED.
2075 * Support for RSA_ALT contexts in the PK layer is now optional. Since is is
2076 enabled in the default configuration, this is only noticeable if using a
2077 custom config.h
2078 * Default DHM parameters server-side upgraded from 1024 to 2048 bits.
2079 * A minimum RSA key size of 2048 bits is now enforced during ceritificate
2080 chain verification.
2081 * Negotiation of truncated HMAC is now disabled by default on server too.
2082 * The following functions are now case-sensitive:
2083 mbedtls_cipher_info_from_string()
2084 mbedtls_ecp_curve_info_from_name()
2085 mbedtls_md_info_from_string()
2086 mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_from_string()
2087 mbedtls_version_check_feature()
2088
2089Requirement changes
2090 * The minimum MSVC version required is now 2010 (better C99 support).
2091 * The NET layer now unconditionnaly relies on getaddrinfo() and select().
2092 * Compiler is required to support C99 types such as long long and uint32_t.
2093
2094API changes from the 1.4 preview branch
2095 * ssl_set_bio_timeout() was removed, split into mbedtls_ssl_set_bio() with
2096 new prototype, and mbedtls_ssl_set_read_timeout().
2097 * The following functions now return void:
2098 mbedtls_ssl_conf_transport()
2099 mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version()
2100 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version()
2101 * DTLS no longer hard-depends on TIMING_C, but uses a callback interface
2102 instead, see mbedtls_ssl_set_timer_cb(), with the Timing module providing
2103 an example implementation, see mbedtls_timing_delay_context and
2104 mbedtls_timing_set/get_delay().
2105 * With UDP sockets, it is no longer necessary to call net_bind() again
2106 after a successful net_accept().
2107
2108Changes
2109 * mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random() and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_random() are now
2110 thread-safe if MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled.
2111 * Reduced ROM fooprint of SHA-256 and added an option to reduce it even
2112 more (at the expense of performance) MBEDTLS_SHA256_SMALLER.
2113
2114= mbed TLS 1.3 branch
2115
2116Security
2117 * With authmode set to SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL, verification of keyUsage and
2118 extendedKeyUsage on the leaf certificate was lost (results not accessible
2119 via ssl_get_verify_results()).
2120 * Add countermeasure against "Lucky 13 strikes back" cache-based attack,
2121 https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2714625

2136 cross-compilation easier (thanks to Alon Bar-Lev).
2137 * The benchmark program also prints heap usage for public-key primitives
2138 if POLARSSL_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C and POLARSSL_MEMORY_DEBUG are defined.
2139 * New script ecc-heap.sh helps measuring the impact of ECC parameters on
2140 speed and RAM (heap only for now) usage.
2141 * New script memory.sh helps measuring the ROM and RAM requirements of two
2142 reduced configurations (PSK-CCM and NSA suite B).
2143 * Add config flag POLARSSL_DEPRECATED_WARNING (off by default) to produce
2144 warnings on use of deprecated functions (with GCC and Clang only).
2145 * Add config flag POLARSSL_DEPRECATED_REMOVED (off by default) to produce
2146 errors on use of deprecated functions.

2163 * Fix handling of symlinks by "make install" (found by Gaël PORTAY).
2164 * Fix potential NULL pointer dereference (not trigerrable remotely) when
2165 ssl_write() is called before the handshake is finished (introduced in
2166 1.3.10) (first reported by Martin Blumenstingl).
2167 * Fix bug in pk_parse_key() that caused some valid private EC keys to be
2168 rejected.
2169 * Fix bug in Via Padlock support (found by Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos).
2170 * Fix thread safety bug in RSA operations (found by Fredrik Axelsson).

2195 (contributed by Alon Bar-Lev).
2196 * ssl_set_own_cert() no longer calls pk_check_pair() since the

2199 (suggested by Thorsten Mühlfelder).
2200 * Remove some unneeded inclusions of header files from the standard library
2201 "minimize" others (eg use stddef.h if only size_t is needed).

2209 full and polarssl_free() is called (found by Mark Hasemeyer)
2210 (only possible if POLARSSL_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C is enabled, which it is
2211 not by default).
2212 * Fix remotely-triggerable uninitialised pointer dereference caused by
2213 crafted X.509 certificate (TLS server is not affected if it doesn't ask for a
2214 client certificate) (found using Codenomicon Defensics).

2216 (TLS server is not affected if it doesn't ask for a client certificate)
2217 (found using Codenomicon Defensics).
2218 * Fix potential stack overflow while parsing crafted X.509 certificates
2219 (TLS server is not affected if it doesn't ask for a client certificate)
2220 (found using Codenomicon Defensics).

2241 * Added new error codes and debug messages about selection of
2242 ciphersuite/certificate.
2243

3219 * Moved all examples programs to use the new entropy and CTR_DRBG
3220 * Added permissive certificate parsing to x509parse_crt() and
3221 x509parse_crtfile(). With permissive parsing the parsing does not stop on
3222 encountering a parse-error. Beware that the meaning of return values has
3223 changed!
3224 * All error codes are now negative. Even on mermory failures and IO errors.
3225
3226Bugfix
3227 * Fixed faulty HMAC-MD2 implementation. Found by dibac. (Closes
3228 ticket #37)
3229 * Fixed a bug where the CRL parser expected an EXPLICIT ASN.1 tag
3230 before version numbers
3231 * Allowed X509 key usage parsing to accept 4 byte values instead of the
3232 standard 1 byte version sometimes used by Microsoft. (Closes ticket #38)

3234 smaller than the hash length. (Closes ticket #41)
3235 * If certificate serial is longer than 32 octets, serial number is now
3236 appended with '....' after first 28 octets
3237 * Improved build support for s390x and sparc64 in bignum.h
3238 * Fixed MS Visual C++ name clash with int64 in sha4.h

3267
3268Changes
3269 * Major argument / variable rewrite. Introduced use of size_t
3270 instead of int for buffer lengths and loop variables for
3271 better unsigned / signed use. Renamed internal bigint types
3272 t_int and t_dbl to t_uint and t_udbl in the process
3273 * mpi_init() and mpi_free() now only accept a single MPI
3274 argument and do not accept variable argument lists anymore.
3275 * The error codes have been remapped and combining error codes
3276 is now done with a PLUS instead of an OR as error codes
3277 used are negative.
3278 * Changed behaviour of net_read(), ssl_fetch_input() and ssl_recv().
3279 net_recv() now returns 0 on EOF instead of
3280 POLARSSL_ERR_NET_CONN_RESET. ssl_fetch_input() returns
3281 POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_CONN_EOF on an EOF from its f_recv() function.
3282 ssl_read() returns 0 if a POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_CONN_EOF is received
3283 after the handshake.
3284 * Network functions now return POLARSSL_ERR_NET_WANT_READ or
3285 POLARSSL_ERR_NET_WANT_WRITE instead of the ambiguous
3286 POLARSSL_ERR_NET_TRY_AGAIN

3296
3297Changes
3298 * Debug print of MPI now removes leading zero octets and
3299 displays actual bit size of the value.
3300 * x509parse_key() (and as a consequence x509parse_keyfile())
3301 does not zeroize memory in advance anymore. Use rsa_init()
3302 before parsing a key or keyfile!
3303
3304Bugfix
3305 * Debug output of MPI's now the same independent of underlying
3306 platform (32-bit / 64-bit) (Fixes ticket #19, found by Mads
