Minos Galanakis8bccf162025-06-26 15:23:39 +01003= Mbed TLS 4.0.0-beta branch released 2025-07-04
4
5API changes
6 * The experimental functions psa_generate_key_ext() and
7 psa_key_derivation_output_key_ext() have been replaced by
8 psa_generate_key_custom() and psa_key_derivation_output_key_custom().
9 They have almost exactly the same interface, but the variable-length
10 data is passed in a separate parameter instead of a flexible array
11 member. This resolves a build failure under C++ compilers that do not
12 support flexible array members (a C99 feature not adopted by C++).
13 Fixes #9020.
14 * Align the mbedtls_ssl_ticket_setup() function with the PSA Crypto API.
15 Instead of taking a mbedtls_cipher_type_t as an argument, this function
16 now takes 3 new arguments: a PSA algorithm, key type and key size, to
17 specify the AEAD for ticket protection.
18 * The PSA and Mbed TLS error spaces are now unified. mbedtls_xxx()
19 functions can now return PSA_ERROR_xxx values.
20 There is no longer a distinction between "low-level" and "high-level"
21 Mbed TLS error codes.
22 This will not affect most applications since the error values are
23 between -32767 and -1 as before.
Minos Galanakis47163082025-07-04 16:31:54 +010024 * All API functions now use the PSA random generator psa_generate_random()
Minos Galanakis8bccf162025-06-26 15:23:39 +010025 internally. As a consequence, functions no longer take RNG parameters.
26 Please refer to the migration guide at :
27 tf-psa-crypto/docs/4.0-migration-guide.md.
28
29Default behavior changes
30 * In a PSA-client-only build (i.e. MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CLIENT &&
31 !MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C), do not automatically enable local crypto when the
32 corresponding PSA mechanism is enabled, since the server provides the
33 crypto. Fixes #9126.
34 * The PK, X.509, PKCS7 and TLS modules now always use the PSA subsystem
35 to perform cryptographic operations, with a few exceptions documented
36 in docs/architecture/psa-migration/psa-limitations.md. This
37 corresponds to the behavior of Mbed TLS 3.x when
38 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled. In effect, MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO
39 is now always enabled.
40 * psa_crypto_init() must be called before performing any cryptographic
41 operation, including indirect requests such as parsing a key or
42 certificate or starting a TLS handshake.
43 * The `PSA_WANT_XXX` symbols as defined in
44 tf-psa-crypto/include/psa/crypto_config.h are now always used in the
45 configuration of the cryptographic mechanisms exposed by the PSA API.
46 This corresponds to the configuration behavior of Mbed TLS 3.x when
47 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is enabled. In effect, MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG
48 is now always enabled and the configuration option has been removed.
49 * In TLS clients, if mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname() has not been called,
50 mbedtls_ssl_handshake() now fails with
51 MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CERTIFICATE_VERIFICATION_WITHOUT_HOSTNAME
52 if certificate-based authentication of the server is attempted.
53 This is because authenticating a server without knowing what name
54 to expect is usually insecure.
55
56Removals
57 * Drop support for VIA Padlock. Removes MBEDTLS_PADLOCK_C.
58 Fixes #5903.
59 * Drop support for crypto alt interface. Removes MBEDTLS_XXX_ALT options
60 at the module and function level for crypto mechanisms only. The remaining
61 alt interfaces for platform, threading and timing are unchanged.
62 Fixes #8149.
63 * Remove support for the RSA-PSK key exchange in TLS 1.2.
64 * Remove deprecated mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial(). The function was
Minos Galanakis47163082025-07-04 16:31:54 +010065 already deprecated and superseded by
Minos Galanakis8bccf162025-06-26 15:23:39 +010066 mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial_raw().
67 * Remove the function mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves() which had been deprecated
68 in favour of mbedtls_ssl_conf_groups() since Mbed TLS 3.1.
69 * Remove support for the DHE-PSK key exchange in TLS 1.2.
70 * Remove support for the DHE-RSA key exchange in TLS 1.2.
71 * Following the removal of DHM module (#9972 and TF-PSA-Crypto#175) the
72 following SSL functions are removed:
73 - mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param_bin
74 - mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param_ctx
75 - mbedtls_ssl_conf_dhm_min_bitlen
76 * Remove support for the RSA key exchange in TLS 1.2.
Minos Galanakis47163082025-07-04 16:31:54 +010077 * Remove mbedtls_low_level_strerr() and mbedtls_high_level_strerr(),
Minos Galanakis8bccf162025-06-26 15:23:39 +010078 since these concepts no longer exists. There is just mbedtls_strerror().
Minos Galanakis47163082025-07-04 16:31:54 +010079 * Sample programs for the legacy crypto API have been removed.
Minos Galanakis8bccf162025-06-26 15:23:39 +010080 pkey/rsa_genkey.c
81 pkey/pk_decrypt.c

101 hash/generic_sum.c
102 cipher/cipher_aead_demo.c
103 * Remove compat-2-x.h header from mbedtls.
104 * The library no longer offers interfaces to look up values by OID
105 or OID by enum values.
106 The header <mbedtls/oid.h> now only defines functions to convert
107 between binary and dotted string OID representations, and macros
108 for OID strings that are relevant to X.509.
109 The compilation option MBEDTLS_OID_C no longer
110 exists. OID tables are included in the build automatically as needed.
111
112Features
113 * When the new compilation option MBEDTLS_PSA_KEY_STORE_DYNAMIC is enabled,
114 the number of volatile PSA keys is virtually unlimited, at the expense
115 of increased code size. This option is off by default, but enabled in
116 the default mbedtls_config.h. Fixes #9216.
117 * Add a new psa_key_agreement() PSA API to perform key agreement and return
118 an identifier for the newly created key.
119 * Added new configuration option MBEDTLS_PSA_STATIC_KEY_SLOTS, which
120 uses static storage for keys, enabling malloc-less use of key slots.
121 The size of each buffer is given by the option
122 MBEDTLS_PSA_STATIC_KEY_SLOT_BUFFER_SIZE. By default it accommodates the
123 largest PSA key enabled in the build.
124 * Add an interruptible version of key agreement to the PSA interface.
125 See psa_key_agreement_iop_setup() and related functions.
126 * Add an interruptible version of generate key to the PSA interface.
127 See psa_generate_key_iop_setup() and related functions.
128 * Add the function mbedtls_ssl_export_keying_material() which allows the
129 client and server to extract additional shared symmetric keys from an SSL
130 session, according to the TLS-Exporter specification in RFC 8446 and 5705.
131 This requires MBEDTLS_SSL_KEYING_MATERIAL_EXPORT to be defined in
132 mbedtls_config.h.
133
134Security
135 * Unlike previously documented, enabling MBEDTLS_PSA_HMAC_DRBG_MD_TYPE does
136 not cause the PSA subsystem to use HMAC_DRBG: it uses HMAC_DRBG only when
137 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG and MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_C are disabled.
138 CVE-2024-45157
139 * Fix a stack buffer overflow in mbedtls_ecdsa_der_to_raw() and
140 mbedtls_ecdsa_raw_to_der() when the bits parameter is larger than the
141 largest supported curve. In some configurations with PSA disabled,
142 all values of bits are affected. This never happens in internal library
143 calls, but can affect applications that call these functions directly.
144 CVE-2024-45158
145 * With TLS 1.3, when a server enables optional authentication of the
146 client, if the client-provided certificate does not have appropriate values
147 in keyUsage or extKeyUsage extensions, then the return value of
148 mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result() would incorrectly have the
149 MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_KEY_USAGE and MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_EXT_KEY_USAGE bits
150 clear. As a result, an attacker that had a certificate valid for uses other
151 than TLS client authentication could be able to use it for TLS client
152 authentication anyway. Only TLS 1.3 servers were affected, and only with
153 optional authentication (required would abort the handshake with a fatal
154 alert).
155 CVE-2024-45159
156 * Fix a buffer underrun in mbedtls_pk_write_key_der() when
157 called on an opaque key, MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled,
158 and the output buffer is smaller than the actual output.
159 Fix a related buffer underrun in mbedtls_pk_write_key_pem()
160 when called on an opaque RSA key, MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled
161 and MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE is smaller than needed for a 4096-bit RSA key.
162 CVE-2024-49195
163 * Note that TLS clients should generally call mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname()
164 if they use certificate authentication (i.e. not pre-shared keys).
165 Otherwise, in many scenarios, the server could be impersonated.
166 The library will now prevent the handshake and return
167 MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CERTIFICATE_VERIFICATION_WITHOUT_HOSTNAME
168 if mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname() has not been called.
169 Reported by Daniel Stenberg.
170 CVE-2025-27809
171 * Fix a vulnerability in the TLS 1.2 handshake. If memory allocation failed
172 or there was a cryptographic hardware failure when calculating the
173 Finished message, it could be calculated incorrectly. This would break
174 the security guarantees of the TLS handshake.
175 CVE-2025-27810
176 * Fix possible use-after-free or double-free in code calling
177 mbedtls_x509_string_to_names(). This was caused by the function calling
178 mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list() on its head argument, while the
179 documentation did no suggest it did, making it likely for callers relying
180 on the documented behaviour to still hold pointers to memory blocks after
181 they were free()d, resulting in high risk of use-after-free or double-free,
182 with consequences ranging up to arbitrary code execution.
183 In particular, the two sample programs x509/cert_write and x509/cert_req
184 were affected (use-after-free if the san string contains more than one DN).
185 Code that does not call mbedtls_string_to_names() directly is not affected.
186 Found by Linh Le and Ngan Nguyen from Calif.
187 CVE-2025-47917
188 * Fix a bug in mbedtls_x509_string_to_names() and the
189 mbedtls_x509write_{crt,csr}_set_{subject,issuer}_name() functions,
190 where some inputs would cause an inconsistent state to be reached, causing
191 a NULL dereference either in the function itself, or in subsequent
192 users of the output structure, such as mbedtls_x509_write_names(). This
193 only affects applications that create (as opposed to consume) X.509
194 certificates, CSRs or CRLs. Found by Linh Le and Ngan Nguyen from Calif.
195 CVE-2025-48965
196
197Bugfix
198 * Fix TLS 1.3 client build and runtime when support for session tickets is
199 disabled (MBEDTLS_SSL_SESSION_TICKETS configuration option). Fixes #6395.
200 * Fix compilation error when memcpy() is a function-like macros. Fixes #8994.
201 * MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C and MBEDTLS_ASN1_WRITE_C are now automatically enabled
202 as soon as MBEDTLS_RSA_C is enabled. Fixes #9041.
203 * Fix undefined behaviour (incrementing a NULL pointer by zero length) when
204 passing in zero length additional data to multipart AEAD.
205 * Fix rare concurrent access bug where attempting to operate on a
206 non-existent key while concurrently creating a new key could potentially
207 corrupt the key store.
208 * Fix error handling when creating a key in a dynamic secure element
209 (feature enabled by MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C). In a low memory condition,
210 the creation could return PSA_SUCCESS but using or destroying the key
211 would not work. Fixes #8537.
212 * Fix issue of redefinition warning messages for _GNU_SOURCE in
213 entropy_poll.c and sha_256.c. There was a build warning during
214 building for linux platform.
215 Resolves #9026
216 * Fix a compilation warning in pk.c when PSA is enabled and RSA is disabled.
217 * Fix the build when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is enabled and the built-in
218 CMAC is enabled, but no built-in unauthenticated cipher is enabled.
219 Fixes #9209.
220 * Fix redefinition warnings when SECP192R1 and/or SECP192K1 are disabled.
221 Fixes #9029.
222 * Fix psa_cipher_decrypt() with CCM* rejecting messages less than 3 bytes
223 long. Credit to Cryptofuzz. Fixes #9314.
224 * Fix interference between PSA volatile keys and built-in keys
225 when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_BUILTIN_KEYS is enabled and
226 MBEDTLS_PSA_KEY_SLOT_COUNT is more than 4096.
227 * Document and enforce the limitation of mbedtls_psa_register_se_key()
228 to persistent keys. Resolves #9253.
229 * Fix Clang compilation error when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled
230 but MBEDTLS_DHM_C is disabled. Reported by Michael Schuster in #9188.
231 * Fix server mode only build when MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_C is enabled but
232 MBEDTLS_SSL_CLI_C is disabled. Reported by M-Bab on GitHub in #9186.
233 * When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C was disabled and MBEDTLS_ECDSA_C enabled,
234 some code was defining 0-size arrays, resulting in compilation errors.
235 Fixed by disabling the offending code in configurations without PSA
236 Crypto, where it never worked. Fixes #9311.
237 * Fixes an issue where some TLS 1.2 clients could not connect to an
238 Mbed TLS 3.6.0 server, due to incorrect handling of
239 legacy_compression_methods in the ClientHello.
240 fixes #8995, #9243.
241 * Fix a memory leak that could occur when failing to process an RSA
242 key through some PSA functions due to low memory conditions.
243 * Fixed a regression introduced in 3.6.0 where the CA callback set with
244 mbedtls_ssl_conf_ca_cb() would stop working when connections were
245 upgraded to TLS 1.3. Fixed by adding support for the CA callback with TLS
246 1.3.
247 * Fixed a regression introduced in 3.6.0 where clients that relied on
248 optional/none authentication mode, by calling mbedtls_ssl_conf_authmode()
249 with MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL or MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_NONE, would stop
250 working when connections were upgraded to TLS 1.3. Fixed by adding
251 support for optional/none with TLS 1.3 as well. Note that the TLS 1.3
252 standard makes server authentication mandatory; users are advised not to
253 use authmode none, and to carefully check the results when using optional
254 mode.
255 * Fixed a regression introduced in 3.6.0 where context-specific certificate
256 verify callbacks, set with mbedtls_ssl_set_verify() as opposed to
257 mbedtls_ssl_conf_verify(), would stop working when connections were
258 upgraded to TLS 1.3. Fixed by adding support for context-specific verify
259 callback in TLS 1.3.
260 * Fix unintended performance regression when using short RSA public keys.
261 Fixes #9232.
262 * When MBEDTLS_SSL_TLS1_3_COMPATIBILITY_MODE is disabled, work with
263 peers that have middlebox compatibility enabled, as long as no
264 problematic middlebox is in the way. Fixes #9551.
265 * Fix invalid JSON schemas for driver descriptions used by
266 generate_driver_wrappers.py.
267 * Use 'mbedtls_net_close' instead of 'close' in 'mbedtls_net_bind'
268 and 'mbedtls_net_connect' to prevent possible double close fd
269 problems. Fixes #9711.
270 * Fix undefined behavior in some cases when mbedtls_psa_raw_to_der() or
271 mbedtls_psa_der_to_raw() is called with bits=0.
272 * Fix compilation on MS-DOS DJGPP. Fixes #9813.
273 * Fix missing constraints on the AES-NI inline assembly which is used on
274 GCC-like compilers when building AES for generic x86_64 targets. This
275 may have resulted in incorrect code with some compilers, depending on
276 optimizations. Fixes #9819.
277 * Support re-assembly of fragmented handshake messages in TLS (both
278 1.2 and 1.3). The lack of support was causing handshake failures with
279 some servers, especially with TLS 1.3 in practice. There are a few
280 limitations, notably a fragmented ClientHello is only supported when
281 TLS 1.3 support is enabled. See the documentation of
282 mbedtls_ssl_handshake() for details.
283 * Fix definition of MBEDTLS_PRINTF_SIZET to prevent runtime crashes that
284 occurred whenever SSL debugging was enabled on a copy of Mbed TLS built
285 with Visual Studio 2013 or MinGW.
286 Fixes #10017.
287 * Silence spurious -Wunterminated-string-initialization warnings introduced
288 by GCC 15. Fixes #9944.
289
290Changes
291 * Warn if mbedtls/check_config.h is included manually, as this can
292 lead to spurious errors. Error if a *adjust*.h header is included
293 manually, as this can lead to silently inconsistent configurations,
294 potentially resulting in buffer overflows.
295 When migrating from Mbed TLS 2.x, if you had a custom config.h that
296 included check_config.h, remove this inclusion from the Mbed TLS 3.x
297 configuration file (renamed to mbedtls_config.h). This change was made
298 in Mbed TLS 3.0, but was not announced in a changelog entry at the time.
299 * Functions regarding numeric string conversions for OIDs have been moved
300 from the OID module and now reside in X.509 module. This helps to reduce
301 the code size as these functions are not commonly used outside of X.509.
302 * Improve performance of PSA key generation with ECC keys: it no longer
303 computes the public key (which was immediately discarded). Fixes #9732.
304 * Cryptography and platform configuration options have been migrated
305 from the Mbed TLS library configuration file mbedtls_config.h to
306 crypto_config.h that will become the TF-PSA-Crypto configuration file,
307 see config-split.md for more information. The reference and test custom
308 configuration files respectively in configs/ and tests/configs/ have
309 been updated accordingly.
310 To migrate custom Mbed TLS configurations where
311 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is disabled, you should first adapt them
312 to the PSA configuration scheme based on PSA_WANT_XXX symbols
313 (see psa-conditional-inclusion-c.md for more information).
314 To migrate custom Mbed TLS configurations where
315 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is enabled, you should migrate the
316 cryptographic and platform configuration options from mbedtls_config.h
317 to crypto_config.h (see config-split.md for more information and configs/
318 for examples).
319 * Move the crypto part of the library (content of tf-psa-crypto directory)
320 from the Mbed TLS to the TF-PSA-Crypto repository. The crypto code and
321 tests development will now occur in TF-PSA-Crypto, which Mbed TLS
322 references as a Git submodule.
323 * The function mbedtls_x509_string_to_names() now requires its head argument
324 to point to NULL on entry. This makes it likely that existing risky uses of
325 this function (see the entry in the Security section) will be detected and
326 fixed.
327
Minos Galanakis4492dbd2024-03-21 15:52:49 +0000328= Mbed TLS 3.6.0 branch released 2024-03-28
Minos Galanakis2c1daef2024-03-21 15:46:39 +0000329
330API changes
331 * Remove `tls13_` in mbedtls_ssl_tls13_conf_early_data() and
332 mbedtls_ssl_tls13_conf_max_early_data_size() API names. Early data
333 feature may not be TLS 1.3 specific in the future. Fixes #6909.
334
335Default behavior changes
336 * psa_import_key() now only accepts RSA keys in the PSA standard formats.
337 The undocumented ability to import other formats (PKCS#8, SubjectPublicKey,
338 PEM) accepted by the pkparse module has been removed. Applications that
339 need these formats can call mbedtls_pk_parse_{public,}key() followed by
340 mbedtls_pk_import_into_psa().
341
342Requirement changes
343 * Drop support for Visual Studio 2013 and 2015, and Arm Compiler 5.
344
345New deprecations
Minos Galanakis8d94aec2024-03-22 16:00:18 +0000346 * Rename the MBEDTLS_SHA256_USE_A64_CRYPTO_xxx config options to
347 MBEDTLS_SHA256_USE_ARMV8_A_CRYPTO_xxx. The old names may still
348 be used, but are deprecated.
Minos Galanakis2c1daef2024-03-21 15:46:39 +0000349 * In the PSA API, domain parameters are no longer used for anything.
350 They are deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the
351 library.
352 * mbedtls_ecp_write_key() is deprecated in favor of
353 mbedtls_ecp_write_key_ext().
354
355Removals
356 * In the PSA API, the experimental way to encode the public exponent of
357 an RSA key as a domain parameter is no longer supported. Use
358 psa_generate_key_ext() instead.
359 * Temporary function mbedtls_pk_wrap_as_opaque() is removed. To mimic the
360 same behavior mbedtls_pk_get_psa_attributes() and
361 mbedtls_pk_import_into_psa() can be used to import a PK key into PSA,
362 while mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque() can be used to wrap a PSA key into a opaque
363 PK context.
364
365Features
366 * Added an example program showing how to hash with the PSA API.
Minos Galanakis8d94aec2024-03-22 16:00:18 +0000367 * Support Armv8-A Crypto Extension acceleration for SHA-256
368 when compiling for Thumb (T32) or 32-bit Arm (A32).
369 * AES-NI is now supported in Windows builds with clang and clang-cl.
370 Resolves #8372.
Minos Galanakis2c1daef2024-03-21 15:46:39 +0000371 * Add new mbedtls_x509_csr_parse_der_with_ext_cb() routine which allows
372 parsing unsupported certificate extensions via user provided callback.
373 * Enable the new option MBEDTLS_BLOCK_CIPHER_NO_DECRYPT to omit
374 the decryption direction of block ciphers (AES, ARIA, Camellia).
375 This affects both the low-level modules and the high-level APIs
376 (the cipher and PSA interfaces). This option is incompatible with modes
377 that use the decryption direction (ECB in PSA, CBC, XTS, KW) and with DES.
378 * Support use of Armv8-A Cryptographic Extensions for hardware acclerated
379 AES when compiling for Thumb (T32) or 32-bit Arm (A32).
380 * If a cipher or AEAD mechanism has a PSA driver, you can now build the
381 library without the corresponding built-in implementation. Generally
382 speaking that requires both the key type and algorithm to be accelerated
383 or they'll both be built in. However, for CCM and GCM the built-in
384 implementation is able to take advantage of a driver that only
385 accelerates the key type (that is, the block cipher primitive). See
386 docs/driver-only-builds.md for full details and current limitations.
387 * The CTR_DRBG module will now use AES from a PSA driver if MBEDTLS_AES_C is
388 disabled. This requires PSA_WANT_ALG_ECB_NO_PADDING in addition to
389 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C and PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_AES.
390 * Fewer modules depend on MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C, making it possible to save code
391 size by disabling it in more circumstances. In particular, the CCM and
392 GCM modules no longer depend on MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C. Also,
393 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO can now be enabled without MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C if all
394 unauthenticated (non-AEAD) ciphers are disabled, or if they're all
395 fully provided by drivers. See docs/driver-only-builds.md for full
396 details and current limitations; in particular, NIST_KW and PKCS5/PKCS12
397 decryption still unconditionally depend on MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C.
398 * Add support for record size limit extension as defined by RFC 8449
399 and configured with MBEDTLS_SSL_RECORD_SIZE_LIMIT.
400 Application data sent and received will be fragmented according to
401 Record size limits negotiated during handshake.
402 * Improve performance of AES-GCM, AES-CTR and CTR-DRBG when
403 hardware accelerated AES is not present (around 13-23% on 64-bit Arm).
404 * Add functions mbedtls_ecc_group_to_psa() and mbedtls_ecc_group_from_psa()
405 to convert between Mbed TLS and PSA curve identifiers.
406 * Add utility functions to manipulate mbedtls_ecp_keypair objects, filling
407 gaps made by making its fields private: mbedtls_ecp_set_public_key(),
408 mbedtls_ecp_write_public_key(), mbedtls_ecp_keypair_calc_public(),
409 mbedtls_ecp_keypair_get_group_id(). Fixes #5017, #5441, #8367, #8652.
410 * Add functions mbedtls_md_psa_alg_from_type() and
411 mbedtls_md_type_from_psa_alg() to convert between mbedtls_md_type_t and
412 psa_algorithm_t.
413 * Add partial platform support for z/OS.
414 * Improve performance for gcc (versions older than 9.3.0) and IAR.
415 * Add functions mbedtls_ecdsa_raw_to_der() and mbedtls_ecdsa_der_to_raw() to
416 convert ECDSA signatures between raw and DER (ASN.1) formats.
417 * Add support for using AES-CBC 128, 192, and 256 bit schemes
418 with PKCS#5 PBES2. Keys encrypted this way can now be parsed by PK parse.
419 * The new function mbedtls_rsa_get_bitlen() returns the length of the modulus
420 in bits, i.e. the key size for an RSA key.
421 * Add pc files for pkg-config, e.g.:
422 pkg-config --cflags --libs (mbedtls|mbedcrypto|mbedx509)
423 * Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_session_get_ticket_creation_time()) to access
424 `mbedtls_ssl_session.ticket_creation_time`.
425 * The new functions mbedtls_pk_get_psa_attributes() and
426 mbedtls_pk_import_into_psa() provide a uniform way to create a PSA
427 key from a PK key.
428 * The benchmark program now reports times for both ephemeral and static
429 ECDH in all ECDH configurations.
Minos Galanakis8d94aec2024-03-22 16:00:18 +0000430 * Add support for 8-bit GCM tables for Shoup's algorithm to speedup GCM
431 operations when hardware accelerated AES is not present. Improves
432 performance by around 30% on 64-bit Intel; 125% on Armv7-M.
Minos Galanakis2c1daef2024-03-21 15:46:39 +0000433 * The new function psa_generate_key_ext() allows generating an RSA
434 key pair with a custom public exponent.
435 * The new function mbedtls_ecp_write_key_ext() is similar to
436 mbedtls_ecp_write_key(), but can be used without separately calculating
437 the output length.
438 * Add new accessor to expose the private group id member of
439 `mbedtls_ecdh_context` structure.
440 * Add new accessor to expose the `MBEDTLS_PRIVATE(ca_istrue)` member of
441 `mbedtls_x509_crt` structure. This requires setting
442 the MBEDTLS_X509_EXT_BASIC_CONSTRAINTS bit in the certificate's
443 ext_types field.
444 * mbedtls_psa_get_random() is always available as soon as
445 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CLIENT is enabled at build time and psa_crypto_init() is
446 called at runtime. This together with MBEDTLS_PSA_RANDOM_STATE can be
447 used as random number generator function (f_rng) and context (p_rng) in
448 legacy functions.
449 * The new functions mbedtls_pk_copy_from_psa() and
450 mbedtls_pk_copy_public_from_psa() provide ways to set up a PK context
451 with the same content as a PSA key.
452 * Add new accessors to expose the private session-id,
453 session-id length, and ciphersuite-id members of
454 `mbedtls_ssl_session` structure.
455 Add new accessor to expose the ciphersuite-id of
456 `mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_t` structure.Design ref: #8529
457 * Mbed TLS now supports the writing and reading of TLS 1.3 early data (see
458 docs/tls13-early-data.md). The support enablement is controlled at build
459 time by the MBEDTLS_SSL_EARLY_DATA configuration option and at runtime by
460 the mbedtls_ssl_conf_early_data() API (by default disabled in both cases).
461 * Add protection for multithreaded access to the PSA keystore and protection
462 for multithreaded access to the the PSA global state, including
463 concurrently calling psa_crypto_init() when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C and
464 MBEDTLS_THREADING_PTHREAD are defined. See
465 docs/architecture/psa-thread-safety/psa-thread-safety.md for more details.
466 Resolves issues #3263 and #7945.
467
468Security
469 * Fix a stack buffer overread (less than 256 bytes) when parsing a TLS 1.3
470 ClientHello in a TLS 1.3 server supporting some PSK key exchange mode. A
471 malicious client could cause information disclosure or a denial of service.
Ronald Cron93b660b2024-05-02 15:36:16 +0200472 Fixes CVE-2024-30166.
Minos Galanakis2c1daef2024-03-21 15:46:39 +0000473 * Passing buffers that are stored in untrusted memory as arguments
474 to PSA functions is now secure by default.
475 The PSA core now protects against modification of inputs or exposure
476 of intermediate outputs during operations. This is currently implemented
477 by copying buffers.
478 This feature increases code size and memory usage. If buffers passed to
479 PSA functions are owned exclusively by the PSA core for the duration of
480 the function call (i.e. no buffer parameters are in shared memory),
481 copying may be disabled by setting MBEDTLS_PSA_ASSUME_EXCLUSIVE_BUFFERS.
482 Note that setting this option will cause input-output buffer overlap to
483 be only partially supported (#3266).
Minos Galanakis8d94aec2024-03-22 16:00:18 +0000484 Fixes CVE-2024-28960.
Minos Galanakis2c1daef2024-03-21 15:46:39 +0000485 * Restore the maximum TLS version to be negotiated to the configured one
486 when an SSL context is reset with the mbedtls_ssl_session_reset() API.
487 An attacker was able to prevent an Mbed TLS server from establishing any
488 TLS 1.3 connection potentially resulting in a Denial of Service or forced
489 version downgrade from TLS 1.3 to TLS 1.2. Fixes #8654 reported by hey3e.
490 Fixes CVE-2024-28755.
491 * When negotiating TLS version on server side, do not fall back to the
492 TLS 1.2 implementation of the protocol if it is disabled.
493 - If the TLS 1.2 implementation was disabled at build time, a TLS 1.2
494 client could put the TLS 1.3-only server in an infinite loop processing
495 a TLS 1.2 ClientHello, resulting in a denial of service. Reported by
496 Matthias Mucha and Thomas Blattmann, SICK AG.
497 - If the TLS 1.2 implementation was disabled at runtime, a TLS 1.2 client
498 was able to successfully establish a TLS 1.2 connection with the server.
499 Reported by alluettiv on GitHub.
500 Fixes CVE-2024-28836.

502Bugfix
503 * Fix the build with CMake when Everest or P256-m is enabled through
504 a user configuration file or the compiler command line. Fixes #8165.
505 * Fix compilation error in C++ programs when MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C is
506 disabled.
507 * Fix possible NULL dereference issue in X509 cert_req program if an entry
508 in the san parameter is not separated by a colon.
509 * Fix possible NULL dereference issue in X509 cert_write program if an entry
510 in the san parameter is not separated by a colon.
Minos Galanakis8d94aec2024-03-22 16:00:18 +0000511 * Fix an inconsistency between implementations and usages of `__cpuid`,
512 which mainly causes failures when building Windows target using
513 mingw or clang. Fixes #8334 & #8332.
Minos Galanakis2c1daef2024-03-21 15:46:39 +0000514 * Fix build failure in conda-forge. Fixes #8422.
515 * Fix parsing of CSRs with critical extensions.
Minos Galanakis8d94aec2024-03-22 16:00:18 +0000516 * Switch to milliseconds as the unit for ticket creation and reception time
517 instead of seconds. That avoids rounding errors when computing the age of
518 tickets compared to peer using a millisecond clock (observed with GnuTLS).
519 Fixes #6623.
Minos Galanakis2c1daef2024-03-21 15:46:39 +0000520 * Fix TLS server accepting TLS 1.2 handshake while TLS 1.2
521 is disabled at runtime. Fixes #8593.
522 * Remove accidental introduction of RSA signature algorithms
523 in TLS Suite B Profile. Fixes #8221.
524 * Fix unsupported PSA asymmetric encryption and decryption
525 (psa_asymmetric_[en|de]crypt) with opaque keys.
526 Resolves #8461.
527 * On Linux on ARMv8, fix a build error with SHA-256 and SHA-512
528 acceleration detection when the libc headers do not define the
529 corresponding constant. Reported by valord577.
530 * Correct initial capacities for key derivation algorithms:TLS12_PRF,
531 TLS12_PSK_TO_MS, PBKDF2-HMAC, PBKDF2-CMAC
532 * Fix mbedtls_pk_get_bitlen() for RSA keys whose size is not a
533 multiple of 8. Fixes #868.
534 * Avoid segmentation fault caused by releasing not initialized
535 entropy resource in gen_key example. Fixes #8809.
536 * mbedtls_pem_read_buffer() now performs a check on the padding data of
537 decrypted keys and it rejects invalid ones.
538 * Fix mbedtls_pk_sign(), mbedtls_pk_verify(), mbedtls_pk_decrypt() and
539 mbedtls_pk_encrypt() on non-opaque RSA keys to honor the padding mode in
540 the RSA context. Before, if MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO was enabled and the
541 RSA context was configured for PKCS#1 v2.1 (PSS/OAEP), the sign/verify
542 functions performed a PKCS#1 v1.5 signature instead and the
543 encrypt/decrypt functions returned an error. Fixes #8824.
544 * Fix missing bitflags in SSL session serialization headers. Their absence
545 allowed SSL sessions saved in one configuration to be loaded in a
546 different, incompatible configuration.
547 * In TLS 1.3 clients, fix an interoperability problem due to the client
548 generating a new random after a HelloRetryRequest. Fixes #8669.
549 * Fix the restoration of the ALPN when loading serialized connection with
Minos Galanakis8d94aec2024-03-22 16:00:18 +0000550 the mbedtls_ssl_context_load() API.
Minos Galanakis2c1daef2024-03-21 15:46:39 +0000551 * Fix NULL pointer dereference in mbedtls_pk_verify_ext() when called using
552 an opaque RSA context and specifying MBEDTLS_PK_RSASSA_PSS as key type.
553 * Fix RSA opaque keys always using PKCS1 v1.5 algorithms instead of the
554 primary algorithm of the wrapped PSA key.
555 * Fully support arbitrary overlap between inputs and outputs of PSA
556 functions. Note that overlap is still only partially supported when
557 MBEDTLS_PSA_ASSUME_EXCLUSIVE_BUFFERS is set (#3266).
558
559Changes
560 * Use heap memory to allocate DER encoded public/private key.
561 This reduces stack usage significantly for writing a public/private
562 key to a PEM string.
Minos Galanakis8d94aec2024-03-22 16:00:18 +0000563 * PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM and PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG are no more synonyms and
564 they are now treated separately. This means that they should be
565 individually enabled in order to enable respective support; also the
566 corresponding MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL symbol should be defined in case
567 acceleration is required.
568 * Moved declaration of functions mbedtls_ecc_group_to_psa and
569 mbedtls_ecc_group_of_psa from psa/crypto_extra.h to mbedtls/psa_util.h
Minos Galanakis2c1daef2024-03-21 15:46:39 +0000570 * mbedtls_pk_sign_ext() is now always available, not just when
571 PSA (MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C) is enabled.
572 * Extended PSA Crypto configurations options for FFDH by making it possible
573 to select only some of the parameters / groups, with the macros
574 PSA_WANT_DH_RFC7919_XXXX. You now need to defined the corresponding macro
575 for each size you want to support. Also, if you have an FFDH accelerator,
576 you'll need to define the appropriate MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL macros to signal
577 support for these domain parameters.
578 * RSA support in PSA no longer auto-enables the pkparse and pkwrite modules,
579 saving code size when those are not otherwise enabled.
580 * mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod and code that uses it, notably RSA and DHM operations,
581 have changed their speed/memory compromise as part of a proactive security
582 improvement. The new default value of MBEDTLS_MPI_WINDOW_SIZE roughly
583 preserves the current speed, at the expense of increasing memory
584 consumption.
585 * Rename directory containing Visual Studio files from visualc/VS2013 to
586 visualc/VS2017.
587 * The TLS 1.3 protocol is now enabled in the default configuration.

590
591Security
592 * Fix a timing side channel in private key RSA operations. This side channel
593 could be sufficient for an attacker to recover the plaintext. A local
594 attacker or a remote attacker who is close to the victim on the network
595 might have precise enough timing measurements to exploit this. It requires
596 the attacker to send a large number of messages for decryption. For
597 details, see "Everlasting ROBOT: the Marvin Attack", Hubert Kario. Reported
598 by Hubert Kario, Red Hat.
599 * Fix a failure to validate input when writing x509 extensions lengths which
600 could result in an integer overflow, causing a zero-length buffer to be
601 allocated to hold the extension. The extension would then be copied into
602 the buffer, causing a heap buffer overflow.

Minos Galanakis974388f2023-10-03 22:07:22 +0100614= Mbed TLS 3.5.0 branch released 2023-10-05
Minos Galanakis80a81562023-10-03 22:03:50 +0100615
616API changes
617 * Mbed TLS 3.4 introduced support for omitting the built-in implementation
618 of ECDSA and/or EC J-PAKE when those are provided by a driver. However,
Dave Rodgmanc0e1f3e2023-11-03 11:08:05 +0000619 there was a flaw in the logic checking if the built-in implementation, in
620 that it failed to check if all the relevant curves were supported by the
Minos Galanakis80a81562023-10-03 22:03:50 +0100621 accelerator. As a result, it was possible to declare no curves as
622 accelerated and still have the built-in implementation compiled out.
623 Starting with this release, it is necessary to declare which curves are
624 accelerated (using MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_ECC_xxx macros), or they will be
625 considered not accelerated, and the built-in implementation of the curves
626 and any algorithm possible using them will be included in the build.
627 * Add new millisecond time type `mbedtls_ms_time_t` and `mbedtls_ms_time()`
628 function, needed for TLS 1.3 ticket lifetimes. Alternative implementations
629 can be created using an ALT interface.
630
631Requirement changes
632 * Officially require Python 3.8 now that earlier versions are out of support.
633 * Minimum required Windows version is now Windows Vista, or
634 Windows Server 2008.
635
636New deprecations
637 * PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR and
638 MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR, where xxx is either ECC or RSA,
639 are now being deprecated in favor of PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy and
640 MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy. Here yyy can be: BASIC,
641 IMPORT, EXPORT, GENERATE, DERIVE. The goal is to have a finer detail about
642 the capabilities of the PSA side for either key.
643 * MBEDTLS_CIPHER_BLKSIZE_MAX is deprecated in favor of
644 MBEDTLS_MAX_BLOCK_LENGTH (if you intended what the name suggests:
645 maximum size of any supported block cipher) or the new name
646 MBEDTLS_CMAC_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE (if you intended the actual semantics:
647 maximum size of a block cipher supported by the CMAC module).
648 * mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() and mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe() functions are now
649 deprecated in favor of mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2_ext() and
650 mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe_ext() as they offer more security by checking
651 for overflow of the output buffer and reporting the actual length
652 of the output.
653
654Features
655 * All modules that use hashes or HMAC can now take advantage of PSA Crypto
656 drivers when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C is enabled and psa_crypto_init() has
657 been called. Previously (in 3.3), this was restricted to a few modules,
658 and only in builds where MBEDTLS_MD_C was disabled; in particular the
659 entropy module was not covered which meant an external RNG had to be
660 provided - these limitations are lifted in this version. A new set of
661 feature macros, MBEDTLS_MD_CAN_xxx, has been introduced that can be used
662 to check for availability of hash algorithms, regardless of whether
663 they're provided by a built-in implementation, a driver or both. See
664 docs/driver-only-builds.md.
665 * When a PSA driver for ECDH is present, it is now possible to disable
666 MBEDTLS_ECDH_C in the build in order to save code size. For TLS 1.2
667 key exchanges based on ECDH(E) to work, this requires
668 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO. Restartable/interruptible ECDHE operations in
669 TLS 1.2 (ECDHE-ECDSA key exchange) are not supported in those builds yet,
670 as PSA does not have an API for restartable ECDH yet.
671 * When all of ECDH, ECDSA and EC J-PAKE are either disabled or provided by
672 a driver, it is possible to disable MBEDTLS_ECP_C (and MBEDTLS_BIGNUM_C
673 if not required by another module) and still get support for ECC keys and
674 algorithms in PSA, with some limitations. See docs/driver-only-builds.txt
675 for details.
676 * Add parsing of directoryName subtype for subjectAltName extension in
677 x509 certificates.
678 * Add support for server-side TLS version negotiation. If both TLS 1.2 and
679 TLS 1.3 protocols are enabled, the TLS server now selects TLS 1.2 or
680 TLS 1.3 depending on the capabilities and preferences of TLS clients.
681 Fixes #6867.
682 * X.509 hostname verification now supports IPAddress Subject Alternate Names.
683 * Add support for reading and writing X25519 and X448
684 public and private keys in RFC 8410 format using the existing PK APIs.
685 * When parsing X.509 certificates, support the extensions
686 SignatureKeyIdentifier and AuthorityKeyIdentifier.
687 * Don't include the PSA dispatch functions for PAKEs (psa_pake_setup() etc)
688 if no PAKE algorithms are requested
689 * Add support for the FFDH algorithm and DH key types in PSA, with
690 parameters from RFC 7919. This includes a built-in implementation based
691 on MBEDTLS_BIGNUM_C, and a driver dispatch layer enabling alternative
692 implementations of FFDH through the driver entry points.
693 * It is now possible to generate certificates with SubjectAltNames.
694 Currently supported subtypes: DnsName, UniformResourceIdentifier,
695 IP address, OtherName, and DirectoryName, as defined in RFC 5280.
696 See mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_subject_alternative_name for
697 more information.
698 * X.509 hostname verification now partially supports URI Subject Alternate
699 Names. Only exact matching, without any normalization procedures
700 described in 7.4 of RFC5280, will result in a positive URI verification.
701 * Add function mbedtls_oid_from_numeric_string() to parse an OID from a
702 string to a DER-encoded mbedtls_asn1_buf.
Dave Rodgman5d323bf2023-10-04 18:46:47 +0100703 * Add SHA-3 family hash functions.
Minos Galanakis80a81562023-10-03 22:03:50 +0100704 * Add support to restrict AES to 128-bit keys in order to save code size.
705 A new configuration option, MBEDTLS_AES_ONLY_128_BIT_KEY_LENGTH, can be
706 used to enable this feature.
707 * AES performance improvements. Uplift varies by platform,
708 toolchain, optimisation flags and mode.
709 Aarch64, gcc -Os and CCM, GCM and XTS benefit the most.
710 On Aarch64, uplift is typically around 20 - 110%.
711 When compiling with gcc -Os on Aarch64, AES-XTS improves
712 by 4.5x.
713 * Add support for PBKDF2-HMAC through the PSA API.
714 * New symbols PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy and
715 MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy (where xxx is either ECC, RSA
716 or DH) were introduced in order to have finer accuracy in defining the
717 PSA capabilities for each key. These capabilities, named yyy above, can be
718 any of: BASIC, IMPORT, EXPORT, GENERATE, DERIVE.
719 - DERIVE is only available for ECC keys, not for RSA or DH ones.
720 - implementations are free to enable more than what it was strictly
721 requested. For example BASIC internally enables IMPORT and EXPORT
722 (useful for testing purposes), but this might change in the future.
723 * Add support for FFDH key exchange in TLS 1.3.
724 This is automatically enabled as soon as PSA_WANT_ALG_FFDH
725 and the ephemeral or psk-ephemeral key exchange mode are enabled.
726 By default, all groups are offered; the list of groups can be
727 configured using the existing API function mbedtls_ssl_conf_groups().
728 * Improve mbedtls_x509_time performance and reduce memory use.
729 * Reduce syscalls to time() during certificate verification.
730 * Allow MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE and MBEDTLS_USER_CONFIG_FILE to be set by
731 setting the CMake variable of the same name at configuration time.
732 * Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_cache_get_timeout()) to access
733 `mbedtls_ssl_cache_context.timeout`.
734 * Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_get_hostname()) to access
735 `mbedtls_ssl_context.hostname`.
736 * Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_conf_get_endpoint()) to access
737 `mbedtls_ssl_config.endpoint`.
738 * Support for "opaque" (PSA-held) ECC keys in the PK module has been
739 extended: it is now possible to use mbedtls_pk_write_key_der(),
740 mbedtls_pk_write_key_pem(), mbedtls_pk_check_pair(), and
741 mbedtls_pk_verify() with opaque ECC keys (provided the PSA attributes
742 allow it).
743 * The documentation of mbedtls_ecp_group now describes the optimized
744 representation of A for some curves. Fixes #8045.
745 * Add a possibility to generate CSR's with RCF822 and directoryName subtype
746 of subjectAltName extension in x509 certificates.
747 * Add support for PBKDF2-CMAC through the PSA API.
748 * New configuration option MBEDTLS_AES_USE_HARDWARE_ONLY introduced. When
749 using CPU-accelerated AES (e.g., Arm Crypto Extensions), this option
750 disables the plain C implementation and the run-time detection for the
751 CPU feature, which reduces code size and avoids the vulnerability of the
752 plain C implementation.
753 * Accept arbitrary AttributeType and AttributeValue in certificate
754 Distinguished Names using RFC 4514 syntax.
755 * Applications using ECC over secp256r1 through the PSA API can use a
756 new implementation with a much smaller footprint, but some minor
757 usage restrictions. See the documentation of the new configuration
758 option MBEDTLS_PSA_P256M_DRIVER_ENABLED for details.
759
760Security
761 * Fix a case where potentially sensitive information held in memory would not
762 be completely zeroized during TLS 1.2 handshake, in both server and client
763 configurations.
764 * In configurations with ARIA or Camellia but not AES, the value of
765 MBEDTLS_CIPHER_BLKSIZE_MAX was 8, rather than 16 as the name might
766 suggest. This did not affect any library code, because this macro was
767 only used in relation with CMAC which does not support these ciphers.
768 This may affect application code that uses this macro.
769 * Developers using mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() or mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe() should
770 review the size of the output buffer passed to this function, and note
771 that the output after decryption may include CBC padding. Consider moving
772 to the new functions mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2_ext() or mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe_ext()
773 which checks for overflow of the output buffer and reports the actual
774 length of the output.
775 * Improve padding calculations in CBC decryption, NIST key unwrapping and
776 RSA OAEP decryption. With the previous implementation, some compilers
777 (notably recent versions of Clang and IAR) could produce non-constant
778 time code, which could allow a padding oracle attack if the attacker
779 has access to precise timing measurements.
780 * Updates to constant-time C code so that compilers are less likely to use
781 conditional instructions, which can have an observable difference in
782 timing. (Clang has been seen to do this.) Also introduce assembly
783 implementations for 32- and 64-bit Arm and for x86 and x86-64, which are
784 guaranteed not to use conditional instructions.
785 * Fix definition of MBEDTLS_MD_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE, which was too
786 small when MBEDTLS_SHA384_C was defined and MBEDTLS_SHA512_C was
787 undefined. Mbed TLS itself was unaffected by this, but user code
788 which used MBEDTLS_MD_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE could be affected. The only
789 release containing this bug was Mbed TLS 3.4.0.
790 * Fix a buffer overread when parsing short TLS application data records in
791 null-cipher cipher suites. Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
792 * Fix a remotely exploitable heap buffer overflow in TLS handshake parsing.
793 In TLS 1.3, all configurations are affected except PSK-only ones, and
794 both clients and servers are affected.
795 In TLS 1.2, the affected configurations are those with
796 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO and ECDH enabled but DHM and RSA disabled,
797 and only servers are affected, not clients.
798 Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
799
800Bugfix
801 * Fix proper sizing for PSA_EXPORT_[KEY_PAIR/PUBLIC_KEY]_MAX_SIZE and
802 PSA_SIGNATURE_MAX_SIZE buffers when at least one accelerated EC is bigger
803 than all built-in ones and RSA is disabled.
804 Resolves #6622.
805 * Add missing md.h includes to some of the external programs from
806 the programs directory. Without this, even though the configuration
807 was sufficient for a particular program to work, it would only print
808 a message that one of the required defines is missing.
809 * Fix declaration of mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det_restartable() function
810 in the ecdsa.h header file. There was a build warning when the
811 configuration macro MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT was defined.
812 Resolves #7407.
813 * Fix an error when MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT is defined but not
814 MBEDTLS_ECDSA_VERIFY_ALT, causing ecdsa verify to fail. Fixes #7498.
815 * Fix missing PSA initialization in sample programs when
816 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
817 * Fix the J-PAKE driver interface for user and peer to accept any values
818 (previously accepted values were limited to "client" or "server").
819 * Fix clang and armclang compilation error when targeting certain Arm
820 M-class CPUs (Cortex-M0, Cortex-M0+, Cortex-M1, Cortex-M23,
821 SecurCore SC000). Fixes #1077.
822 * Fix "unterminated '#pragma clang attribute push'" in sha256/sha512.c when
823 built with MBEDTLS_SHAxxx_USE_A64_CRYPTO_IF_PRESENT but don't have a
824 way to detect the crypto extensions required. A warning is still issued.
825 * Fixed an issue that caused compile errors when using CMake and the IAR
826 toolchain.
827 * Fix very high stack usage in SSL debug code. Reported by Maximilian
828 Gerhardt in #7804.
829 * Fix a compilation failure in the constant_time module when
830 building for arm64_32 (e.g., for watchos). Reported by Paulo
831 Coutinho in #7787.
832 * Fix crypt_and_hash decryption fail when used with a stream cipher
833 mode of operation due to the input not being multiple of block size.
834 Resolves #7417.
835 * Fix a bug in which mbedtls_x509_string_to_names() would return success
836 when given a invalid name string if it did not contain '=' or ','.
837 * Fix compilation warnings in aes.c, which prevented the
838 example TF-M configuration in configs/ from building cleanly:
839 tfm_mbedcrypto_config_profile_medium.h with
840 crypto_config_profile_medium.h.
841 * In TLS 1.3, fix handshake failure when a client in its ClientHello
842 proposes an handshake based on PSK only key exchange mode or at least
843 one of the key exchange modes using ephemeral keys to a server that
844 supports only the PSK key exchange mode.
845 * Fix CCM* with no tag being not supported in a build with CCM as the only
846 symmetric encryption algorithm and the PSA configuration enabled.
847 * Fix the build with MBEDTLS_PSA_INJECT_ENTROPY. Fixes #7516.
848 * Fix a compilation error on some platforms when including mbedtls/ssl.h
849 with all TLS support disabled. Fixes #6628.
850 * Fix x509 certificate generation to conform to RFC 5480 / RFC 5758 when
851 using ECC key. The certificate was rejected by some crypto frameworks.
852 Fixes #2924.
853 * Fix a potential corruption of the passed-in IV when mbedtls_aes_crypt_cbc()
854 is called with zero length and padlock is not enabled.
855 * Fix compile failure due to empty enum in cipher_wrap.c, when building
856 with a very minimal configuration. Fixes #7625.
857 * Fix some cases where mbedtls_mpi_mod_exp, RSA key construction or ECDSA
858 signature can silently return an incorrect result in low memory conditions.
859 * Don't try to include MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_USER_CONFIG_FILE when
860 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is disabled.
861 * Fix IAR compiler warnings.
862 * Fix an issue when parsing an otherName subject alternative name into a
863 mbedtls_x509_san_other_name struct. The type-id of the otherName was not
864 copied to the struct. This meant that the struct had incomplete
865 information about the otherName SAN and contained uninitialized memory.
866 * Fix the detection of HardwareModuleName otherName SANs. These were being
867 detected by comparing the wrong field and the check was erroneously
868 inverted.
869 * Fix a build error in some configurations with MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG
870 enabled, where some low-level modules required by requested PSA crypto
871 features were not getting automatically enabled. Fixes #7420.
872 * Fix undefined symbols in some builds using TLS 1.3 with a custom
873 configuration file.
874 * Fix log level for the got supported group message. Fixes #6765
875 * Functions in the ssl_cache module now return a negative MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx
876 error code on failure. Before, they returned 1 to indicate failure in
877 some cases involving a missing entry or a full cache.
878 * mbedtls_pk_parse_key() now rejects trailing garbage in encrypted keys.
Dave Rodgman5d323bf2023-10-04 18:46:47 +0100879 * Fix the build with CMake when Everest or P256-m is enabled through
880 a user configuration file or the compiler command line. Fixes #8165.
Minos Galanakis80a81562023-10-03 22:03:50 +0100881
882Changes
883 * Enable Arm / Thumb bignum assembly for most Arm platforms when
884 compiling with gcc, clang or armclang and -O0.
885 * Enforce minimum RSA key size when generating a key
886 to avoid accidental misuse.
887 * Use heap memory to allocate DER encoded RSA private key.
888 This reduces stack usage significantly for RSA signature
889 operations when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C is defined.
890 * Update Windows code to use BCryptGenRandom and wcslen, and
891 ensure that conversions between size_t, ULONG, and int are
892 always done safely. Original contribution by Kevin Kane #635, #730
893 followed by Simon Butcher #1453.
Dave Rodgman5d323bf2023-10-04 18:46:47 +0100894 * Users integrating their own PSA drivers should be aware that
Minos Galanakis80a81562023-10-03 22:03:50 +0100895 the file library/psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.c has been renamed
896 to psa_crypto_driver_wrappers_no_static.c.
897 * When using CBC with the cipher module, the requirement to call
898 mbedtls_cipher_set_padding_mode() is now enforced. Previously, omitting
899 this call accidentally applied a default padding mode chosen at compile
900 time.

911
912Default behavior changes
913 * The default priority order of TLS 1.3 cipher suites has been modified to
914 follow the same rules as the TLS 1.2 cipher suites (see
915 ssl_ciphersuites.c). The preferred cipher suite is now
916 TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256.
917
918New deprecations
919 * mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial() is now being deprecated in favor of
920 mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial_raw(). The goal here is to remove any
921 direct dependency of X509 on BIGNUM_C.
922 * PSA to mbedtls error translation is now unified in psa_util.h,
923 deprecating mbedtls_md_error_from_psa. Each file that performs error
924 translation should define its own version of PSA_TO_MBEDTLS_ERR,
925 optionally providing file-specific error pairs. Please see psa_util.h for
926 more details.
927
928Features
929 * Added partial support for parsing the PKCS #7 Cryptographic Message
930 Syntax, as defined in RFC 2315. Currently, support is limited to the
931 following:
932 - Only the signed-data content type, version 1 is supported.
933 - Only DER encoding is supported.
934 - Only a single digest algorithm per message is supported.
935 - Certificates must be in X.509 format. A message must have either 0
936 or 1 certificates.
937 - There is no support for certificate revocation lists.
938 - The authenticated and unauthenticated attribute fields of SignerInfo
939 must be empty.
940 Many thanks to Daniel Axtens, Nayna Jain, and Nick Child from IBM for
941 contributing this feature, and to Demi-Marie Obenour for contributing
942 various improvements, tests and bug fixes.
943 * General performance improvements by accessing multiple bytes at a time.
944 Fixes #1666.
945 * Improvements to use of unaligned and byte-swapped memory, reducing code
946 size and improving performance (depending on compiler and target
947 architecture).
948 * Add support for reading points in compressed format
949 (MBEDTLS_ECP_PF_COMPRESSED) with mbedtls_ecp_point_read_binary()
950 (and callers) for Short Weierstrass curves with prime p where p = 3 mod 4
951 (all mbedtls MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP* and MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_BP* curves
952 except MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP224R1 and MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP224K1)
953 * SHA224_C/SHA384_C are now independent from SHA384_C/SHA512_C respectively.
954 This helps in saving code size when some of the above hashes are not
955 required.
956 * Add parsing of V3 extensions (key usage, Netscape cert-type,
957 Subject Alternative Names) in x509 Certificate Sign Requests.
958 * Use HOSTCC (if it is set) when compiling C code during generation of the
959 configuration-independent files. This allows them to be generated when
960 CC is set for cross compilation.
961 * Add parsing of uniformResourceIdentifier subtype for subjectAltName
962 extension in x509 certificates.
963 * Add an interruptible version of sign and verify hash to the PSA interface,
964 backed by internal library support for ECDSA signing and verification.
965 * Add parsing of rfc822Name subtype for subjectAltName
966 extension in x509 certificates.
967 * The configuration macros MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_PLATFORM_FILE and
968 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_STRUCT_FILE specify alternative locations for
969 the headers "psa/crypto_platform.h" and "psa/crypto_struct.h".
970 * When a PSA driver for ECDSA is present, it is now possible to disable
971 MBEDTLS_ECDSA_C in the build in order to save code size. For PK, X.509
972 and TLS to fully work, this requires MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO to be enabled.
973 Restartable/interruptible ECDSA operations in PK, X.509 and TLS are not
974 supported in those builds yet, as driver support for interruptible ECDSA
975 operations is not present yet.
976 * Add a driver dispatch layer for EC J-PAKE, enabling alternative
977 implementations of EC J-PAKE through the driver entry points.
978 * Add new API mbedtls_ssl_cache_remove for cache entry removal by
979 its session id.
980 * Add support to include the SubjectAltName extension to a CSR.
981 * Add support for AES with the Armv8-A Cryptographic Extension on
982 64-bit Arm. A new configuration option, MBEDTLS_AESCE_C, can
983 be used to enable this feature. Run-time detection is supported
984 under Linux only.
985 * When a PSA driver for EC J-PAKE is present, it is now possible to disable
986 MBEDTLS_ECJPAKE_C in the build in order to save code size. For the
987 corresponding TLS 1.2 key exchange to work, MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO needs
988 to be enabled.
989 * Add functions mbedtls_rsa_get_padding_mode() and mbedtls_rsa_get_md_alg()
990 to read non-public fields for padding mode and hash id from
991 an mbedtls_rsa_context, as requested in #6917.
992 * AES-NI is now supported with Visual Studio.
993 * AES-NI is now supported in 32-bit builds, or when MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM
994 is disabled, when compiling with GCC or Clang or a compatible compiler
995 for a target CPU that supports the requisite instructions (for example
996 gcc -m32 -msse2 -maes -mpclmul). (Generic x86 builds with GCC-like
997 compilers still require MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM and a 64-bit target.)
998 * It is now possible to use a PSA-held (opaque) password with the TLS 1.2
999 ECJPAKE key exchange, using the new API function
1000 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_ecjpake_password_opaque().
1001
1002Security
1003 * Use platform-provided secure zeroization function where possible, such as
1004 explicit_bzero().
1005 * Zeroize SSL cache entries when they are freed.
1006 * Fix a potential heap buffer overread in TLS 1.3 client-side when
1007 MBEDTLS_DEBUG_C is enabled. This may result in an application crash.
1008 * Add support for AES with the Armv8-A Cryptographic Extension on 64-bit
1009 Arm, so that these systems are no longer vulnerable to timing side-channel
1010 attacks. This is configured by MBEDTLS_AESCE_C, which is on by default.
1011 Reported by Demi Marie Obenour.
1012 * MBEDTLS_AESNI_C, which is enabled by default, was silently ignored on
1013 builds that couldn't compile the GCC-style assembly implementation
1014 (most notably builds with Visual Studio), leaving them vulnerable to
1015 timing side-channel attacks. There is now an intrinsics-based AES-NI
1016 implementation as a fallback for when the assembly one cannot be used.
1017
1018Bugfix
1019 * Fix possible integer overflow in mbedtls_timing_hardclock(), which
1020 could cause a crash in programs/test/benchmark.
1021 * Fix IAR compiler warnings. Fixes #6924.
1022 * Fix a bug in the build where directory names containing spaces were
1023 causing generate_errors.pl to error out resulting in a build failure.
1024 Fixes issue #6879.
1025 * In TLS 1.3, when using a ticket for session resumption, tweak its age
1026 calculation on the client side. It prevents a server with more accurate
1027 ticket timestamps (typically timestamps in milliseconds) compared to the
1028 Mbed TLS ticket timestamps (in seconds) to compute a ticket age smaller
1029 than the age computed and transmitted by the client and thus potentially
1030 reject the ticket. Fix #6623.
1031 * Fix compile error where MBEDTLS_RSA_C and MBEDTLS_X509_CRT_WRITE_C are
1032 defined, but MBEDTLS_PK_RSA_ALT_SUPPORT is not defined. Fixes #3174.
1033 * List PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG in psa/crypto_config.h so that it can
1034 be toggled with config.py.
1035 * The key derivation algorithm PSA_ALG_TLS12_ECJPAKE_TO_PMS cannot be
1036 used on a shared secret from a key agreement since its input must be
1037 an ECC public key. Reject this properly.
1038 * mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial() now explicitly rejects serial numbers
1039 whose binary representation is longer than 20 bytes. This was already
1040 forbidden by the standard (RFC5280 - section 4.1.2.2) and now it's being
1041 enforced also at code level.
1042 * Fix potential undefined behavior in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs(). Reported by
1043 Pascal Cuoq using TrustInSoft Analyzer in #6701; observed independently by
1044 Aaron Ucko under Valgrind.
1045 * Fix behavior of certain sample programs which could, when run with no
1046 arguments, access uninitialized memory in some cases. Fixes #6700 (which
1047 was found by TrustInSoft Analyzer during REDOCS'22) and #1120.
1048 * Fix parsing of X.509 SubjectAlternativeName extension. Previously,
1049 malformed alternative name components were not caught during initial
1050 certificate parsing, but only on subsequent calls to
1051 mbedtls_x509_parse_subject_alt_name(). Fixes #2838.
1052 * Make the fields of mbedtls_pk_rsassa_pss_options public. This makes it
1053 possible to verify RSA PSS signatures with the pk module, which was
1054 inadvertently broken since Mbed TLS 3.0.
1055 * Fix bug in conversion from OID to string in
1056 mbedtls_oid_get_numeric_string(). OIDs such as 2.40.0.25 are now printed
1057 correctly.
1058 * Reject OIDs with overlong-encoded subidentifiers when converting
1059 them to a string.
1060 * Reject OIDs with subidentifier values exceeding UINT_MAX. Such
1061 subidentifiers can be valid, but Mbed TLS cannot currently handle them.
1062 * Reject OIDs that have unterminated subidentifiers, or (equivalently)
1063 have the most-significant bit set in their last byte.
1064 * Silence warnings from clang -Wdocumentation about empty \retval
1065 descriptions, which started appearing with Clang 15. Fixes #6960.
1066 * Fix the handling of renegotiation attempts in TLS 1.3. They are now
1067 systematically rejected.
1068 * Fix an unused-variable warning in TLS 1.3-only builds if
1069 MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION was enabled. Fixes #6200.
1070 * Fix undefined behavior in mbedtls_ssl_read() and mbedtls_ssl_write() if
1071 len argument is 0 and buffer is NULL.
1072 * Allow setting user and peer identifiers for EC J-PAKE operation
1073 instead of role in PAKE PSA Crypto API as described in the specification.
1074 This is a partial fix that allows only "client" and "server" identifiers.
1075 * Fix a compilation error when PSA Crypto is built with support for
1076 TLS12_PRF but not TLS12_PSK_TO_MS. Reported by joerchan in #7125.
1077 * In the TLS 1.3 server, select the preferred client cipher suite, not the
1078 least preferred. The selection error was introduced in Mbed TLS 3.3.0.
1079 * Fix TLS 1.3 session resumption when the established pre-shared key is
1080 384 bits long. That is the length of pre-shared keys created under a
1081 session where the cipher suite is TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384.
1082 * Fix an issue when compiling with MBEDTLS_SHA512_USE_A64_CRYPTO_IF_PRESENT
1083 enabled, which required specifying compiler flags enabling SHA3 Crypto
1084 Extensions, where some compilers would emit EOR3 instructions in other
1085 modules, which would then fail if run on a CPU without the SHA3
1086 extensions. Fixes #5758.
1087
1088Changes
1089 * Install the .cmake files into CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR/cmake/MbedTLS,
1090 typically /usr/lib/cmake/MbedTLS.
1091 * Mixed-endian systems are explicitly not supported any more.
1092 * When MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO and MBEDTLS_ECDSA_DETERMINISTIC are both
1093 defined, mbedtls_pk_sign() now use deterministic ECDSA for ECDSA
1094 signatures. This aligns the behaviour with MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO to
1095 the behaviour without it, where deterministic ECDSA was already used.
1096 * Visual Studio: Rename the directory containing Visual Studio files from
1097 visualc/VS2010 to visualc/VS2013 as we do not support building with versions
1098 older than 2013. Update the solution file to specify VS2013 as a minimum.
1099 * programs/x509/cert_write:
1100 - now it accepts the serial number in 2 different formats: decimal and
1101 hex. They cannot be used simultaneously
1102 - "serial" is used for the decimal format and it's limted in size to
1103 unsigned long long int
1104 - "serial_hex" is used for the hex format; max length here is
1105 MBEDTLS_X509_RFC5280_MAX_SERIAL_LEN*2
1106 * The C code follows a new coding style. This is transparent for users but
1107 affects contributors and maintainers of local patches. For more
1108 information, see
1109 https://mbed-tls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kb/how-to/rewrite-branch-for-coding-style/
1110 * Changed the default MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE from 6 to 2.
1111 As tested in issue 6790, the correlation between this define and
1112 RSA decryption performance has changed lately due to security fixes.
1113 To fix the performance degradation when using default values the
1114 window was reduced from 6 to 2, a value that gives the best or close
1115 to best results when tested on Cortex-M4 and Intel i7.
1116 * When enabling MBEDTLS_SHA256_USE_A64_CRYPTO_* or
1117 MBEDTLS_SHA512_USE_A64_CRYPTO_*, it is no longer necessary to specify
1118 compiler target flags on the command line; the library now sets target
1119 options within the appropriate modules.

1122
Dave Rodgman69591e92022-12-08 14:59:54 +00001123Default behavior changes
1124 * Previously the macro MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID implemented version 05
1125 of the IETF draft, and was marked experimental and disabled by default.
1126 It is now no longer experimental, and implements the final version from
1127 RFC 9146, which is not interoperable with the draft-05 version.
1128 If you need to communicate with peers that use earlier versions of
1129 Mbed TLS, then you need to define MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID_COMPAT
1130 to 1, but then you won't be able to communicate with peers that use the
1131 standard (non-draft) version.
1132 If you need to interoperate with both classes of peers with the
1133 same build of Mbed TLS, please let us know about your situation on the
1134 mailing list or GitHub.
1135
1136Requirement changes
1137 * When building with PSA drivers using generate_driver_wrappers.py, or
1138 when building the library from the development branch rather than
1139 from a release, the Python module jsonschema is now necessary, in
1140 addition to jinja2. The official list of required Python modules is
1141 maintained in scripts/basic.requirements.txt and may change again
1142 in the future.
1143
1144New deprecations
1145 * Deprecate mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data().
1146 Use mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list()
1147 or mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list_shallow().
1148
1149Features
1150 * Support rsa_pss_rsae_* signature algorithms in TLS 1.2.
1151 * make: enable building unversioned shared library, with e.g.:
1152 "SHARED=1 SOEXT_TLS=so SOEXT_X509=so SOEXT_CRYPTO=so make lib"
1153 resulting in library names like "libmbedtls.so" rather than
1154 "libmbedcrypto.so.11".
1155 * Expose the EC J-PAKE functionality through the Draft PSA PAKE Crypto API.
1156 Only the ECC primitive with secp256r1 curve and SHA-256 hash algorithm
1157 are supported in this implementation.
1158 * Some modules can now use PSA drivers for hashes, including with no
1159 built-in implementation present, but only in some configurations.
1160 - RSA OAEP and PSS (PKCS#1 v2.1), PKCS5, PKCS12 and EC J-PAKE now use
1161 hashes from PSA when (and only when) MBEDTLS_MD_C is disabled.
1162 - PEM parsing of encrypted files now uses MD-5 from PSA when (and only
1163 when) MBEDTLS_MD5_C is disabled.
1164 See the documentation of the corresponding macros in mbedtls_config.h for
1165 details.
1166 Note that some modules are not able to use hashes from PSA yet, including
1167 the entropy module. As a consequence, for now the only way to build with
1168 all hashes only provided by drivers (no built-in hash) is to use
1169 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG.
1170 * When MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled, X.509, TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 now
1171 properly negotiate/accept hashes based on their availability in PSA.
1172 As a consequence, they now work in configurations where the built-in
1173 implementations of (some) hashes are excluded and those hashes are only
1174 provided by PSA drivers. (See previous entry for limitation on RSA-PSS
1175 though: that module only use hashes from PSA when MBEDTLS_MD_C is off).
1176 * Add support for opaque keys as the private keys associated to certificates
1177 for authentication in TLS 1.3.
1178 * Add the LMS post-quantum-safe stateful-hash asymmetric signature scheme.
1179 Signature verification is production-ready, but generation is for testing
1180 purposes only. This currently only supports one parameter set
1181 (LMS_SHA256_M32_H10), meaning that each private key can be used to sign
1182 1024 messages. As such, it is not intended for use in TLS, but instead
1183 for verification of assets transmitted over an insecure channel,
1184 particularly firmware images.
1185 * Add the LM-OTS post-quantum-safe one-time signature scheme, which is
1186 required for LMS. This can be used independently, but each key can only
1187 be used to sign one message so is impractical for most circumstances.
1188 * Mbed TLS now supports TLS 1.3 key establishment via pre-shared keys.
1189 The pre-shared keys can be provisioned externally or via the ticket
1190 mechanism (session resumption).
1191 The ticket mechanism is supported when the configuration option
1192 MBEDTLS_SSL_SESSION_TICKETS is enabled.
1193 New options MBEDTLS_SSL_TLS1_3_KEY_EXCHANGE_MODE_xxx_ENABLED
1194 control the support for the three possible TLS 1.3 key exchange modes.
1195 * cert_write: support for setting extended key usage attributes. A
1196 corresponding new public API call has been added in the library,
1197 mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_ext_key_usage().
1198 * cert_write: support for writing certificate files in either PEM
1199 or DER format.
1200 * The PSA driver wrapper generator generate_driver_wrappers.py now
1201 supports a subset of the driver description language, including
1202 the following entry points: import_key, export_key, export_public_key,
1203 get_builtin_key, copy_key.
1204 * The new functions mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list() and
1205 mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list_shallow() simplify the management
1206 of memory in named data lists in X.509 structures.
1207 * The TLS 1.2 EC J-PAKE key exchange can now use the PSA Crypto API.
1208 Additional PSA key slots will be allocated in the process of such key
1209 exchange for builds that enable MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECJPAKE_ENABLED and
1210 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO.
1211 * Add support for DTLS Connection ID as defined by RFC 9146, controlled by
1212 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID (enabled by default) and configured with
1213 mbedtls_ssl_set_cid().
1214 * Add a driver dispatch layer for raw key agreement, enabling alternative
1215 implementations of raw key agreement through the key_agreement driver
1216 entry point. This entry point is specified in the proposed PSA driver
1217 interface, but had not yet been implemented.
Dave Rodgman552e1072022-12-14 17:01:51 +00001218 * Add an ad-hoc key derivation function handling EC J-PAKE to PMS
1219 calculation that can be used to derive the session secret in TLS 1.2,
1220 as described in draft-cragie-tls-ecjpake-01. This can be achieved by
1221 using PSA_ALG_TLS12_ECJPAKE_TO_PMS as the key derivation algorithm.
Dave Rodgman69591e92022-12-08 14:59:54 +00001222
1223Security
1224 * Fix potential heap buffer overread and overwrite in DTLS if
1225 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID is enabled and
1226 MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_IN_LEN_MAX > 2 * MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_OUT_LEN_MAX.
Tom Cosgroveb3c6a1e2023-03-08 15:47:00 +00001227 * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough information
1228 about memory accesses (typically, an untrusted operating system attacking
1229 a secure enclave) could recover an RSA private key after observing the
1230 victim performing a single private-key operation if the window size used
1231 for the exponentiation was 3 or smaller. Found and reported by Zili KOU,
Dave Rodgman69591e92022-12-08 14:59:54 +00001232 Wenjian HE, Sharad Sinha, and Wei ZHANG. See "Cache Side-channel Attacks
1233 and Defenses of the Sliding Window Algorithm in TEEs" - Design, Automation
1234 and Test in Europe 2023.
1235
1236Bugfix
1237 * Refactor mbedtls_aes_context to support shallow-copying. Fixes #2147.
1238 * Fix an issue with in-tree CMake builds in releases with GEN_FILES
1239 turned off: if a shipped file was missing from the working directory,
1240 it could be turned into a symbolic link to itself.
1241 * Fix a long-standing build failure when building x86 PIC code with old
1242 gcc (4.x). The code will be slower, but will compile. We do however
1243 recommend upgrading to a more recent compiler instead. Fixes #1910.
1244 * Fix support for little-endian Microblaze when MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM is defined.
1245 Contributed by Kazuyuki Kimura to fix #2020.
1246 * Use double quotes to include private header file psa_crypto_cipher.h.
1247 Fixes 'file not found with <angled> include' error
1248 when building with Xcode.
1249 * Fix handling of broken symlinks when loading certificates using
1250 mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path(). Instead of returning an error as soon as a
1251 broken link is encountered, skip the broken link and continue parsing
1252 other certificate files. Contributed by Eduardo Silva in #2602.
1253 * Fix an interoperability failure between an Mbed TLS client with both
1254 TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 support, and a TLS 1.2 server that supports
1255 rsa_pss_rsae_* signature algorithms. This failed because Mbed TLS
1256 advertised support for PSS in both TLS 1.2 and 1.3, but only
1257 actually supported PSS in TLS 1.3.
1258 * Fix a compilation error when using CMake with an IAR toolchain.
1259 Fixes #5964.
1260 * Fix a build error due to a missing prototype warning when
1261 MBEDTLS_DEPRECATED_REMOVED is enabled.
1262 * Fix mbedtls_ctr_drbg_free() on an initialized but unseeded context. When
1263 MBEDTLS_AES_ALT is enabled, it could call mbedtls_aes_free() on an
1264 uninitialized context.
1265 * Fix a build issue on Windows using CMake where the source and build
1266 directories could not be on different drives. Fixes #5751.
1267 * Fix bugs and missing dependencies when building and testing
1268 configurations with only one encryption type enabled in TLS 1.2.
1269 * Provide the missing definition of mbedtls_setbuf() in some configurations
1270 with MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_C disabled. Fixes #6118, #6196.
1271 * Fix compilation errors when trying to build with
1272 PSA drivers for AEAD (GCM, CCM, Chacha20-Poly1305).
1273 * Fix memory leak in ssl_parse_certificate_request() caused by
1274 mbedtls_x509_get_name() not freeing allocated objects in case of error.
1275 Change mbedtls_x509_get_name() to clean up allocated objects on error.
1276 * Fix build failure with MBEDTLS_RSA_C and MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C but not
1277 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO or MBEDTLS_PK_WRITE_C. Fixes #6408.
1278 * Fix build failure with MBEDTLS_RSA_C and MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C but not
1279 MBEDTLS_PK_PARSE_C. Fixes #6409.
1280 * Fix ECDSA verification, where it was not always validating the
1281 public key. This bug meant that it was possible to verify a
1282 signature with an invalid public key, in some cases. Reported by
1283 Guido Vranken using Cryptofuzz in #4420.
1284 * Fix a possible null pointer dereference if a memory allocation fails
1285 in TLS PRF code. Reported by Michael Madsen in #6516.
1286 * Fix TLS 1.3 session resumption. Fixes #6488.
1287 * Add a configuration check to exclude optional client authentication
1288 in TLS 1.3 (where it is forbidden).
1289 * Fix a bug in which mbedtls_x509_crt_info() would produce non-printable
1290 bytes when parsing certificates containing a binary RFC 4108
1291 HardwareModuleName as a Subject Alternative Name extension. Hardware
1292 serial numbers are now rendered in hex format. Fixes #6262.
1293 * Fix bug in error reporting in dh_genprime.c where upon failure,
1294 the error code returned by mbedtls_mpi_write_file() is overwritten
1295 and therefore not printed.
1296 * In the bignum module, operations of the form (-A) - (+A) or (-A) - (-A)
1297 with A > 0 created an unintended representation of the value 0 which was
1298 not processed correctly by some bignum operations. Fix this. This had no
1299 consequence on cryptography code, but might affect applications that call
1300 bignum directly and use negative numbers.
1301 * Fix a bug whereby the list of signature algorithms sent as part of
1302 the TLS 1.2 server certificate request would get corrupted, meaning the
1303 first algorithm would not get sent and an entry consisting of two random
1304 bytes would be sent instead. Found by Serban Bejan and Dudek Sebastian.
1305 * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) of
1306 mbedtls_mpi_add_mpi(), mbedtls_mpi_add_abs() and mbedtls_mpi_add_int()
1307 when both operands are 0 and the left operand is represented with 0 limbs.
1308 * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) when some bignum
1309 functions receive the most negative value of mbedtls_mpi_sint. Credit
1310 to OSS-Fuzz. Fixes #6597.
1311 * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) in PSA ECB
1312 encryption and decryption.
1313 * Move some SSL-specific code out of libmbedcrypto where it had been placed
1314 accidentally.
1315 * Fix a build error when compiling the bignum module for some Arm platforms.
1316 Fixes #6089, #6124, #6217.
1317
1318Changes
1319 * Add the ability to query PSA_WANT_xxx macros to query_compile_time_config.
1320 * Calling AEAD tag-specific functions for non-AEAD algorithms (which
1321 should not be done - they are documented for use only by AES-GCM and
1322 ChaCha20+Poly1305) now returns MBEDTLS_ERR_CIPHER_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE
1323 instead of success (0).

1331
1332Default behavior changes
1333 * mbedtls_cipher_set_iv will now fail with ChaCha20 and ChaCha20+Poly1305
1334 for IV lengths other than 12. The library was silently overwriting this
1335 length with 12, but did not inform the caller about it. Fixes #4301.
1336
1337Requirement changes
1338 * The library will no longer compile out of the box on a platform without
1339 setbuf(). If your platform does not have setbuf(), you can configure an
1340 alternative function by enabling MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETBUF_ALT or
1341 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETBUF_MACRO.
1342
1343New deprecations
1344 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version() and
1345 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version() in favor of
1346 mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_tls_version() and
1347 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_tls_version().
1348 * Deprecate mbedtls_cipher_setup_psa(). Use psa_aead_xxx() or
1349 psa_cipher_xxx() directly instead.
1350 * Secure element drivers enabled by MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C are deprecated.
1351 This was intended as an experimental feature, but had not been explicitly
1352 documented as such. Use opaque drivers with the interface enabled by
1353 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVERS instead.
1354 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_hashes() in favor of the more generic
1355 mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_algs(). Signature algorithms for the TLS 1.2 and
1356 TLS 1.3 handshake should now be configured with
1357 mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_algs().
1358
1359Features
1360 * Add accessor to obtain ciphersuite id from ssl context.
1361 * Add accessors to get members from ciphersuite info.
1362 * Add mbedtls_ssl_ticket_rotate() for external ticket rotation.
1363 * Add accessor to get the raw buffer pointer from a PEM context.
1364 * The structures mbedtls_ssl_config and mbedtls_ssl_context now store
1365 a piece of user data which is reserved for the application. The user
1366 data can be either a pointer or an integer.
1367 * Add an accessor function to get the configuration associated with
1368 an SSL context.
1369 * Add a function to access the protocol version from an SSL context in a
1370 form that's easy to compare. Fixes #5407.
1371 * Add function mbedtls_md_info_from_ctx() to recall the message digest
1372 information that was used to set up a message digest context.
1373 * Add ALPN support in TLS 1.3 clients.
1374 * Add server certificate selection callback near end of Client Hello.
1375 Register callback with mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_cb().
1376 * Provide mechanism to reset handshake cert list by calling
1377 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_own_cert() with NULL value for own_cert param.
1378 * Add accessor mbedtls_ssl_get_hs_sni() to retrieve SNI from within
1379 cert callback (mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_cb()) during handshake.
1380 * The X.509 module now uses PSA hash acceleration if present.
1381 * Add support for psa crypto key derivation for elliptic curve
1382 keys. Fixes #3260.
1383 * Add function mbedtls_timing_get_final_delay() to access the private
1384 final delay field in an mbedtls_timing_delay_context, as requested in
1385 #5183.
1386 * Add mbedtls_pk_sign_ext() which allows generating RSA-PSS signatures when
1387 PSA Crypto is enabled.
1388 * Add function mbedtls_ecp_export() to export ECP key pair parameters.
1389 Fixes #4838.
1390 * Add function mbedtls_ssl_is_handshake_over() to enable querying if the SSL
1391 Handshake has completed or not, and thus whether to continue calling
1392 mbedtls_ssl_handshake_step(), requested in #4383.
1393 * Add the function mbedtls_ssl_get_own_cid() to access our own connection id
1394 within mbedtls_ssl_context, as requested in #5184.
1395 * Introduce mbedtls_ssl_hs_cb_t typedef for use with
1396 mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_cb() and perhaps future callbacks
1397 during TLS handshake.
1398 * Add functions mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_tls_version() and
1399 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_tls_version() that use a single value to specify
1400 the protocol version.
1401 * Extend the existing PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS() algorithm to support
1402 mixed-PSK. Add an optional input PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_OTHER_SECRET
1403 holding the other secret.
1404 * When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is enabled, you may list the PSA crypto
1405 feature requirements in the file named by the new macro
1406 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG_FILE instead of the default psa/crypto_config.h.
1407 Furthermore you may name an additional file to include after the main
1408 file with the macro MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_USER_CONFIG_FILE.
1409 * Add the function mbedtls_x509_crt_has_ext_type() to access the ext types
1410 field within mbedtls_x509_crt context, as requested in #5585.
1411 * Add HKDF-Expand and HKDF-Extract as separate algorithms in the PSA API.
1412 * Add support for the ARMv8 SHA-2 acceleration instructions when building
1413 for Aarch64.
1414 * Add support for authentication of TLS 1.3 clients by TLS 1.3 servers.
1415 * Add support for server HelloRetryRequest message. The TLS 1.3 client is
1416 now capable of negotiating another shared secret if the one sent in its
1417 first ClientHello was not suitable to the server.
1418 * Add support for client-side TLS version negotiation. If both TLS 1.2 and
1419 TLS 1.3 protocols are enabled in the build of Mbed TLS, the TLS client now
1420 negotiates TLS 1.3 or TLS 1.2 with TLS servers.
1421 * Enable building of Mbed TLS with TLS 1.3 protocol support but without TLS
1422 1.2 protocol support.
1423 * Mbed TLS provides an implementation of a TLS 1.3 server (ephemeral key
1424 establishment only). See docs/architecture/tls13-support.md for a
1425 description of the support. The MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3 and
1426 MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_C configuration options control this.
1427 * Add accessors to configure DN hints for certificate request:
1428 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dn_hints() and mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_dn_hints()
1429 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO, which previously
1430 affected only a limited subset of crypto operations in TLS, X.509 and PK,
1431 now causes most of them to be done using PSA Crypto; see
1432 docs/use-psa-crypto.md for the list of exceptions.
1433 * The function mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque() now supports RSA key pairs as well.
1434 Opaque keys can now be used everywhere a private key is expected in the
1435 TLS and X.509 modules.
1436 * Opaque pre-shared keys for TLS, provisioned with
1437 mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk_opaque() or mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk_opaque(), which
1438 previously only worked for "pure" PSK key exchange, now can also be used
1439 for the "mixed" PSK key exchanges as well: ECDHE-PSK, DHE-PSK, RSA-PSK.
1440 * cmake now detects if it is being built as a sub-project, and in that case
1441 disables the target export/installation and package configuration.
1442 * Make USE_PSA_CRYPTO compatible with KEY_ID_ENCODES_OWNER. Fixes #5259.
1443 * Add example programs cipher_aead_demo.c, md_hmac_demo.c, aead_demo.c
1444 and hmac_demo.c, which use PSA and the md/cipher interfaces side
1445 by side in order to illustrate how the operation is performed in PSA.
1446 Addresses #5208.
1447
1448Security
1449 * Zeroize dynamically-allocated buffers used by the PSA Crypto key storage
1450 module before freeing them. These buffers contain secret key material, and
1451 could thus potentially leak the key through freed heap.
1452 * Fix potential memory leak inside mbedtls_ssl_cache_set() with
1453 an invalid session id length.
1454 * Add the platform function mbedtls_setbuf() to allow buffering to be
1455 disabled on stdio files, to stop secrets loaded from said files being
1456 potentially left in memory after file operations. Reported by
1457 Glenn Strauss.
1458 * Fix a potential heap buffer overread in TLS 1.2 server-side when
1459 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled, an opaque key (created with
1460 mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque()) is provisioned, and a static ECDH ciphersuite
1461 is selected. This may result in an application crash or potentially an
1462 information leak.
1463 * Fix a buffer overread in DTLS ClientHello parsing in servers with
1464 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE enabled. An unauthenticated client
1465 or a man-in-the-middle could cause a DTLS server to read up to 255 bytes
1466 after the end of the SSL input buffer. The buffer overread only happens
1467 when MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN is less than a threshold that depends on
1468 the exact configuration: 258 bytes if using mbedtls_ssl_cookie_check(),
1469 and possibly up to 571 bytes with a custom cookie check function.
1470 Reported by the Cybeats PSI Team.
1471 * Fix a buffer overread in TLS 1.3 Certificate parsing. An unauthenticated
1472 client or server could cause an MbedTLS server or client to overread up
1473 to 64 kBytes of data and potentially overread the input buffer by that
1474 amount minus the size of the input buffer. As overread data undergoes
1475 various checks, the likelihood of reaching the boundary of the input
1476 buffer is rather small but increases as its size
1477 MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN decreases.
1478 * Fix check of certificate key usage in TLS 1.3. The usage of the public key
1479 provided by a client or server certificate for authentication was not
1480 checked properly when validating the certificate. This could cause a
1481 client or server to be able to authenticate itself through a certificate
1482 to an Mbed TLS TLS 1.3 server or client while it does not own a proper
1483 certificate to do so.
1484
1485Bugfix
1486 * Declare or use PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG following the general
1487 pattern for PSA_WANT_xxx symbols. Previously you had to specify
1488 PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM for PSA_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG.
1489 * Fix a memory leak if mbedtls_ssl_config_defaults() is called twice.
1490 * Fixed swap of client and server random bytes when exporting them alongside
1491 TLS 1.3 handshake and application traffic secret.
1492 * Fix several bugs (warnings, compiler and linker errors, test failures)
1493 in reduced configurations when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
1494 * Fix a bug in (D)TLS curve negotiation: when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO was
1495 enabled and an ECDHE-ECDSA or ECDHE-RSA key exchange was used, the
1496 client would fail to check that the curve selected by the server for
1497 ECDHE was indeed one that was offered. As a result, the client would
1498 accept any curve that it supported, even if that curve was not allowed
1499 according to its configuration. Fixes #5291.
1500 * The TLS 1.3 implementation is now compatible with the
1501 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO configuration option.
1502 * Fix unit tests that used 0 as the file UID. This failed on some
1503 implementations of PSA ITS. Fixes #3838.
1504 * Fix mbedtls_ssl_get_version() not reporting TLSv1.3. Fixes #5406.
1505 * Fix API violation in mbedtls_md_process() test by adding a call to
1506 mbedtls_md_starts(). Fixes #2227.
1507 * Fix compile errors when MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME is not defined. Add tests
1508 to catch bad uses of time.h.
1509 * Fix a race condition in out-of-source builds with CMake when generated data
1510 files are already present. Fixes #5374.
1511 * Fix the library search path when building a shared library with CMake
1512 on Windows.
1513 * Fix bug in the alert sending function mbedtls_ssl_send_alert_message()
1514 potentially leading to corrupted alert messages being sent in case
1515 the function needs to be re-called after initially returning
1516 MBEDTLS_SSL_WANT_WRITE. Fixes #1916.
1517 * In configurations with MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID enabled but not
1518 MBEDTLS_DEBUG_C, DTLS handshakes using CID would crash due to a null
1519 pointer dereference. Fix this. Fixes #3998.
1520 The fix was released, but not announced, in Mbed TLS 3.1.0.
1521 * Fix incorrect documentation of mbedtls_x509_crt_profile. The previous
1522 documentation stated that the `allowed_pks` field applies to signatures
1523 only, but in fact it does apply to the public key type of the end entity
1524 certificate, too. Fixes #1992.
1525 * Fix undefined behavior in mbedtls_asn1_find_named_data(), where val is
1526 not NULL and val_len is zero.
1527 * Fix compilation error with mingw32. Fixed by Cameron Cawley in #4211.
1528 * Fix compilation error when using C++ Builder on Windows. Reported by
1529 Miroslav Mastny in #4015.
1530 * psa_raw_key_agreement() now returns PSA_ERROR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL when
1531 applicable. Fixes #5735.
1532 * Fix a bug in the x25519 example program where the removal of
1533 MBEDTLS_ECDH_LEGACY_CONTEXT caused the program not to run. Fixes #4901 and
1534 #3191.
1535 * Fix a TLS 1.3 handshake failure when the peer Finished message has not
1536 been received yet when we first try to fetch it.
1537 * Encode X.509 dates before 1/1/2000 as UTCTime rather than
1538 GeneralizedTime. Fixes #5465.
1539 * Add mbedtls_x509_dn_get_next function to return the next relative DN in
1540 an X509 name, to allow walking the name list. Fixes #5431.
1541 * Fix order value of curve x448.
1542 * Fix string representation of DNs when outputting values containing commas
1543 and other special characters, conforming to RFC 1779. Fixes #769.
1544 * Silence a warning from GCC 12 in the selftest program. Fixes #5974.
1545 * Fix check_config.h to check that we have MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE
1546 when MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3 is specified, and make this and other
1547 dependencies explicit in the documentation. Fixes #5610.
1548 * Fix mbedtls_asn1_write_mpi() writing an incorrect encoding of 0.
1549 * Fix a TLS 1.3 handshake failure when the first attempt to send the client
1550 Finished message on the network cannot be satisfied. Fixes #5499.
1551 * Fix resource leaks in mbedtls_pk_parse_public_key() in low
1552 memory conditions.
1553 * Fix server connection identifier setting for outgoing encrypted records
1554 on DTLS 1.2 session resumption. After DTLS 1.2 session resumption with
1555 connection identifier, the Mbed TLS client now properly sends the server
1556 connection identifier in encrypted record headers. Fix #5872.
1557 * Fix a null pointer dereference when performing some operations on zero
1558 represented with 0 limbs (specifically mbedtls_mpi_mod_int() dividing
1559 by 2, and mbedtls_mpi_write_string() in base 2).
1560 * Fix record sizes larger than 16384 being sometimes accepted despite being
1561 non-compliant. This could not lead to a buffer overflow. In particular,
1562 application data size was already checked correctly.
1563 * Fix MBEDTLS_SVC_KEY_ID_GET_KEY_ID() and MBEDTLS_SVC_KEY_ID_GET_OWNER_ID()
1564 which have been broken, resulting in compilation errors, since Mbed TLS
1565 3.0.
1566 * Ensure that TLS 1.2 ciphersuite/certificate and key selection takes into
1567 account not just the type of the key (RSA vs EC) but also what it can
1568 actually do. Resolves #5831.
1569 * Fix CMake windows host detection, especially when cross compiling.
1570 * Fix an error in make where the absence of a generated file caused
1571 make to break on a clean checkout. Fixes #5340.
1572 * Work around an MSVC ARM64 compiler bug causing incorrect behaviour
1573 in mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod(). Reported by Tautvydas Žilys in #5467.
Dave Rodgman2b52a2e2022-12-12 15:23:44 +00001574 * Removed the prompt to exit from all windows build programs, which was causing
Paul Elliott2238eed2022-07-08 18:19:12 +01001575 issues in CI/CD environments.
1576
1577Changes
1578 * The file library/psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.c is now generated
1579 from a template. In the future, the generation will support
1580 driver descriptions. For the time being, to customize this file,
1581 see docs/proposed/psa-driver-wrappers-codegen-migration-guide.md
1582 * Return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT if the algorithm passed to one-shot
1583 AEAD functions is not an AEAD algorithm. This aligns them with the
1584 multipart functions, and the PSA Crypto API 1.1 specification.
1585 * In mbedtls_pk_parse_key(), if no password is provided, don't allocate a
1586 temporary variable on the heap. Suggested by Sergey Kanatov in #5304.
1587 * Assume source files are in UTF-8 when using MSVC with CMake.
1588 * Fix runtime library install location when building with CMake and MinGW.
1589 DLLs are now installed in the bin directory instead of lib.
1590 * cmake: Use GnuInstallDirs to customize install directories
1591 Replace custom LIB_INSTALL_DIR variable with standard CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR
1592 variable. For backward compatibility, set CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR if
1593 LIB_INSTALL_DIR is set.
1594 * Add a CMake option that enables static linking of the runtime library
1595 in Microsoft Visual C++ compiler. Contributed by Microplankton.
1596 * In CMake builds, add aliases for libraries so that the normal MbedTLS::*
1597 targets work when MbedTLS is built as a subdirectory. This allows the
1598 use of FetchContent, as requested in #5688.

Ronald Cron1ffa6a52021-12-14 15:57:17 +01001600= mbed TLS 3.1.0 branch released 2021-12-17
Ronald Cron831cf482021-12-15 09:02:38 +01001601
1602API changes
1603 * New error code for GCM: MBEDTLS_ERR_GCM_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL.
1604 Alternative GCM implementations are expected to verify
1605 the length of the provided output buffers and to return the
1606 MBEDTLS_ERR_GCM_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL in case the buffer length is too small.
1607 * You can configure groups for a TLS key exchange with the new function
1608 mbedtls_ssl_conf_groups(). It extends mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves().
1609 * Declare a number of structure fields as public: the fields of
1610 mbedtls_ecp_curve_info, the fields describing the result of ASN.1 and
1611 X.509 parsing, and finally the field fd of mbedtls_net_context on
1612 POSIX/Unix-like platforms.
1613
1614Requirement changes
1615 * Sign-magnitude and one's complement representations for signed integers are
1616 not supported. Two's complement is the only supported representation.
1617
1618New deprecations
1619 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves() in favor of the more generic
1620 mbedtls_ssl_conf_groups().
1621
1622Removals
1623 * Remove the partial support for running unit tests via Greentea on Mbed OS,
1624 which had been unmaintained since 2018.
1625
1626Features
1627 * Enable support for Curve448 via the PSA API. Contributed by
1628 Archana Madhavan in #4626. Fixes #3399 and #4249.
1629 * The identifier of the CID TLS extension can be configured by defining
1630 MBEDTLS_TLS_EXT_CID at compile time.
1631 * Implement the PSA multipart AEAD interface, currently supporting
1632 ChaChaPoly and GCM.
1633 * Warn if errors from certain functions are ignored. This is currently
1634 supported on GCC-like compilers and on MSVC and can be configured through
1635 the macro MBEDTLS_CHECK_RETURN. The warnings are always enabled
1636 (where supported) for critical functions where ignoring the return
1637 value is almost always a bug. Enable the new configuration option
1638 MBEDTLS_CHECK_RETURN_WARNING to get warnings for other functions. This
1639 is currently implemented in the AES, DES and md modules, and will be
1640 extended to other modules in the future.
1641 * Add missing PSA macros declared by PSA Crypto API 1.0.0:
1642 PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH, PSA_ALG_NONE, PSA_HASH_BLOCK_LENGTH, PSA_KEY_ID_NULL.
1643 * Add support for CCM*-no-tag cipher to the PSA.
1644 Currently only 13-byte long IV's are supported.
1645 For decryption a minimum of 16-byte long input is expected.
1646 These restrictions may be subject to change.
Ronald Cron1ffa6a52021-12-14 15:57:17 +01001647 * Add new API mbedtls_ct_memcmp for constant time buffer comparison.
Ronald Cron831cf482021-12-15 09:02:38 +01001648 * Add functions to get the IV and block size from cipher_info structs.
1649 * Add functions to check if a cipher supports variable IV or key size.
1650 * Add the internal implementation of and support for CCM to the PSA multipart
1651 AEAD interface.
1652 * Mbed TLS provides a minimum viable implementation of the TLS 1.3
1653 protocol. See docs/architecture/tls13-support.md for the definition of
1654 the TLS 1.3 Minimum Viable Product (MVP). The MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3
1655 configuration option controls the enablement of the support. The APIs
1656 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version() and mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version() allow
1657 to select the 1.3 version of the protocol to establish a TLS connection.
1658 * Add PSA API definition for ARIA.
1659
1660Security
1661 * Zeroize several intermediate variables used to calculate the expected
1662 value when verifying a MAC or AEAD tag. This hardens the library in
1663 case the value leaks through a memory disclosure vulnerability. For
1664 example, a memory disclosure vulnerability could have allowed a
1665 man-in-the-middle to inject fake ciphertext into a DTLS connection.
1666 * In psa_aead_generate_nonce(), do not read back from the output buffer.
1667 This fixes a potential policy bypass or decryption oracle vulnerability
1668 if the output buffer is in memory that is shared with an untrusted
1669 application.
1670 * In psa_cipher_generate_iv() and psa_cipher_encrypt(), do not read back
1671 from the output buffer. This fixes a potential policy bypass or decryption
1672 oracle vulnerability if the output buffer is in memory that is shared with
1673 an untrusted application.
1674 * Fix a double-free that happened after mbedtls_ssl_set_session() or
1675 mbedtls_ssl_get_session() failed with MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_ALLOC_FAILED
1676 (out of memory). After that, calling mbedtls_ssl_session_free()
1677 and mbedtls_ssl_free() would cause an internal session buffer to
1678 be free()'d twice.
1679
1680Bugfix
1681 * Stop using reserved identifiers as local variables. Fixes #4630.
1682 * The GNU makefiles invoke python3 in preference to python except on Windows.
1683 The check was accidentally not performed when cross-compiling for Windows
1684 on Linux. Fix this. Fixes #4774.
1685 * Prevent divide by zero if either of PSA_CIPHER_ENCRYPT_OUTPUT_SIZE() or
1686 PSA_CIPHER_UPDATE_OUTPUT_SIZE() were called using an asymmetric key type.
1687 * Fix a parameter set but unused in psa_crypto_cipher.c. Fixes #4935.
1688 * Don't use the obsolete header path sys/fcntl.h in unit tests.
1689 These header files cause compilation errors in musl.
1690 Fixes #4969.
1691 * Fix missing constraints on x86_64 and aarch64 assembly code
1692 for bignum multiplication that broke some bignum operations with
1693 (at least) Clang 12.
1694 Fixes #4116, #4786, #4917, #4962.
1695 * Fix mbedtls_cipher_crypt: AES-ECB when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
1696 * Failures of alternative implementations of AES or DES single-block
1697 functions enabled with MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT_ALT, MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT_ALT,
1698 MBEDTLS_DES_CRYPT_ECB_ALT or MBEDTLS_DES3_CRYPT_ECB_ALT were ignored.
1699 This does not concern the implementation provided with Mbed TLS,
1700 where this function cannot fail, or full-module replacements with
1701 MBEDTLS_AES_ALT or MBEDTLS_DES_ALT. Reported by Armelle Duboc in #1092.
1702 * Some failures of HMAC operations were ignored. These failures could only
1703 happen with an alternative implementation of the underlying hash module.
1704 * Fix the error returned by psa_generate_key() for a public key. Fixes #4551.
1705 * Fix compile-time or run-time errors in PSA
1706 AEAD functions when ChachaPoly is disabled. Fixes #5065.
1707 * Remove PSA'a AEAD finish/verify output buffer limitation for GCM.
1708 The requirement of minimum 15 bytes for output buffer in
1709 psa_aead_finish() and psa_aead_verify() does not apply to the built-in
1710 implementation of GCM.
1711 * Move GCM's update output buffer length verification from PSA AEAD to
1712 the built-in implementation of the GCM.
1713 The requirement for output buffer size to be equal or greater then
1714 input buffer size is valid only for the built-in implementation of GCM.
1715 Alternative GCM implementations can process whole blocks only.
1716 * Fix the build of sample programs when neither MBEDTLS_ERROR_C nor
1717 MBEDTLS_ERROR_STRERROR_DUMMY is enabled.
1718 * Fix PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS verification accepting an arbitrary salt length.
1719 This algorithm now accepts only the same salt length for verification
1720 that it produces when signing, as documented. Use the new algorithm
1721 PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS_ANY_SALT to accept any salt length. Fixes #4946.
1722 * The existing predicate macro name PSA_ALG_IS_HASH_AND_SIGN is now reserved
1723 for algorithm values that fully encode the hashing step, as per the PSA
1724 Crypto API specification. This excludes PSA_ALG_RSA_PKCS1V15_SIGN_RAW and
1725 PSA_ALG_ECDSA_ANY. The new predicate macro PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH covers
1726 all algorithms that can be used with psa_{sign,verify}_hash(), including
1727 these two.
1728 * Fix issue in Makefile on Linux with SHARED=1, that caused shared libraries
1729 not to list other shared libraries they need.
Ronald Cron1ffa6a52021-12-14 15:57:17 +01001730 * Fix a bug in mbedtls_gcm_starts() when the bit length of the iv
1731 exceeds 2^32. Fixes #4884.
Ronald Cron831cf482021-12-15 09:02:38 +01001732 * Fix an uninitialized variable warning in test_suite_ssl.function with GCC
1733 version 11.
1734 * Fix the build when no SHA2 module is included. Fixes #4930.
1735 * Fix the build when only the bignum module is included. Fixes #4929.
1736 * Fix a potential invalid pointer dereference and infinite loop bugs in
1737 pkcs12 functions when the password is empty. Fix the documentation to
1738 better describe the inputs to these functions and their possible values.
1739 Fixes #5136.
1740 * The key usage flags PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_MESSAGE now allows the MAC
1741 operations psa_mac_compute() and psa_mac_sign_setup().
1742 * The key usage flags PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_MESSAGE now allows the MAC
1743 operations psa_mac_verify() and psa_mac_verify_setup().
1744
1745Changes
1746 * Explicitly mark the fields mbedtls_ssl_session.exported and
1747 mbedtls_ssl_config.respect_cli_pref as private. This was an
1748 oversight during the run-up to the release of Mbed TLS 3.0.
1749 The fields were never intended to be public.
1750 * Implement multi-part CCM API.
1751 The multi-part functions: mbedtls_ccm_starts(), mbedtls_ccm_set_lengths(),
1752 mbedtls_ccm_update_ad(), mbedtls_ccm_update(), mbedtls_ccm_finish()
1753 were introduced in mbedTLS 3.0 release, however their implementation was
1754 postponed until now.
1755 Implemented functions support chunked data input for both CCM and CCM*
1756 algorithms.
1757 * Remove MBEDTLS_SSL_EXPORT_KEYS, making it always on and increasing the
1758 code size by about 80B on an M0 build. This option only gated an ability
1759 to set a callback, but was deemed unnecessary as it was yet another define
1760 to remember when writing tests, or test configurations. Fixes #4653.
1761 * Improve the performance of base64 constant-flow code. The result is still
1762 slower than the original non-constant-flow implementation, but much faster
1763 than the previous constant-flow implementation. Fixes #4814.
1764 * Ignore plaintext/ciphertext lengths for CCM*-no-tag operations.
1765 For CCM* encryption/decryption without authentication, input
1766 length will be ignored.
1767 * Indicate in the error returned if the nonce length used with
1768 ChaCha20-Poly1305 is invalid, and not just unsupported.
Ronald Cron1ffa6a52021-12-14 15:57:17 +01001769 * The mbedcrypto library includes a new source code module constant_time.c,
1770 containing various functions meant to resist timing side channel attacks.
1771 This module does not have a separate configuration option, and functions
1772 from this module will be included in the build as required. Currently
1773 most of the interface of this module is private and may change at any
1774 time.
1775 * The generated configuration-independent files are now automatically
1776 generated by the CMake build system on Unix-like systems. This is not
1777 yet supported when cross-compiling.
Ronald Cron831cf482021-12-15 09:02:38 +01001778

Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +01001780
1781API changes
1782 * Remove HAVEGE module.
1783 The design of HAVEGE makes it unsuitable for microcontrollers. Platforms
1784 with a more complex CPU usually have an operating system interface that
1785 provides better randomness. Instead of HAVEGE, declare OS or hardware RNG
1786 interfaces with mbedtls_entropy_add_source() and/or use an entropy seed
1787 file created securely during device provisioning. See
Dave Rodgmanb3196842022-10-12 16:47:08 +01001788 https://mbed-tls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kb/how-to/add-entropy-sources-to-entropy-pool/ for
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +01001789 more information.
1790 * Add missing const attributes to API functions.
1791 * Remove helpers for the transition from Mbed TLS 1.3 to Mbed TLS 2.0: the
1792 header compat-1.3.h and the script rename.pl.
1793 * Remove certs module from the API.
1794 Transfer keys and certificates embedded in the library to the test
1795 component. This contributes to minimizing library API and discourages
1796 users from using unsafe keys in production.
1797 * Move alt helpers and definitions.
1798 Various helpers and definitions available for use in alt implementations
1799 have been moved out of the include/ directory and into the library/
1800 directory. The files concerned are ecp_internal.h and rsa_internal.h
Gilles Peskine6a2fb612021-05-24 22:25:04 +02001801 which have also been renamed to ecp_internal_alt.h and rsa_alt_helpers.h
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +01001802 respectively.
1803 * Move internal headers.
1804 Header files that were only meant for the library's internal use and
1805 were not meant to be used in application code have been moved out of
1806 the include/ directory. The headers concerned are bn_mul.h, aesni.h,
1807 padlock.h, entropy_poll.h and *_internal.h.
1808 * Drop support for parsing SSLv2 ClientHello
1809 (MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_SUPPORT_SSLV2_CLIENT_HELLO).
1810 * Drop support for SSLv3 (MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_SSL3).
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +01001811 * Drop support for TLS record-level compression (MBEDTLS_ZLIB_SUPPORT).
1812 * Drop support for RC4 TLS ciphersuites.
1813 * Drop support for single-DES ciphersuites.
1814 * Drop support for MBEDTLS_SSL_HW_RECORD_ACCEL.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001815 * Update AEAD output size macros to bring them in line with the PSA Crypto
1816 API version 1.0 spec. This version of the spec parameterizes them on the
1817 key type used, as well as the key bit-size in the case of
1818 PSA_AEAD_TAG_LENGTH.
1819 * Add configuration option MBEDTLS_X509_REMOVE_INFO which
1820 removes the mbedtls_x509_*_info(), mbedtls_debug_print_crt()
1821 as well as other functions and constants only used by
1822 those functions. This reduces the code footprint by
1823 several kB.
1824 * Remove SSL error codes `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CERTIFICATE_REQUIRED`
1825 and `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_INVALID_VERIFY_HASH` which are never
1826 returned from the public SSL API.
1827 * Remove `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CERTIFICATE_TOO_LARGE` and return
1828 `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL` instead.
Dave Rodgman814b0992021-07-02 12:11:14 +01001829 * The output parameter of mbedtls_sha512_finish, mbedtls_sha512,
1830 mbedtls_sha256_finish and mbedtls_sha256 now has a pointer type
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001831 rather than array type. This removes spurious warnings in some compilers
1832 when outputting a SHA-384 or SHA-224 hash into a buffer of exactly
1833 the hash size.
1834 * Remove the MBEDTLS_TEST_NULL_ENTROPY config option. Fixes #4388.
1835 * The interface of the GCM module has changed to remove restrictions on
1836 how the input to multipart operations is broken down. mbedtls_gcm_finish()
Dave Rodgmaneaef0b72021-07-01 16:59:13 +01001837 now takes extra output parameters for the last partial output block.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001838 mbedtls_gcm_update() now takes extra parameters for the output length.
1839 The software implementation always produces the full output at each
1840 call to mbedtls_gcm_update(), but alternative implementations activated
1841 by MBEDTLS_GCM_ALT may delay partial blocks to the next call to
1842 mbedtls_gcm_update() or mbedtls_gcm_finish(). Furthermore, applications
1843 no longer pass the associated data to mbedtls_gcm_starts(), but to the
1844 new function mbedtls_gcm_update_ad().
1845 These changes are backward compatible for users of the cipher API.
1846 * Replace MBEDTLS_SHA512_NO_SHA384 config option with MBEDTLS_SHA384_C.
1847 This separates config option enabling the SHA384 algorithm from option
1848 enabling the SHA512 algorithm. Fixes #4034.
1849 * Introduce MBEDTLS_SHA224_C.
1850 This separates config option enabling the SHA224 algorithm from option
1851 enabling SHA256.
Dave Rodgman745e3582021-07-05 18:53:31 +01001852 * The getter and setter API of the SSL session cache (used for
1853 session-ID based session resumption) has changed to that of
1854 a key-value store with keys being session IDs and values
1855 being opaque instances of `mbedtls_ssl_session`.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001856 * Remove the mode parameter from RSA operation functions. Signature and
1857 decryption functions now always use the private key and verification and
1858 encryption use the public key. Verification functions also no longer have
1859 RNG parameters.
Dave Rodgman745e3582021-07-05 18:53:31 +01001860 * Modify semantics of `mbedtls_ssl_conf_[opaque_]psk()`:
1861 In Mbed TLS 2.X, the API prescribes that later calls overwrite
1862 the effect of earlier calls. In Mbed TLS 3.0, calling
1863 `mbedtls_ssl_conf_[opaque_]psk()` more than once will fail,
1864 leaving the PSK that was configured first intact.
1865 Support for more than one PSK may be added in 3.X.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001866 * The function mbedtls_x509write_csr_set_extension() has an extra parameter
1867 which allows to mark an extension as critical. Fixes #4055.
1868 * For multi-part AEAD operations with the cipher module, calling
1869 mbedtls_cipher_finish() is now mandatory. Previously the documentation
1870 was unclear on this point, and this function happened to never do
1871 anything with the currently implemented AEADs, so in practice it was
1872 possible to skip calling it, which is no longer supported.
1873 * The option MBEDTLS_ECP_FIXED_POINT_OPTIM use pre-computed comb tables
1874 instead of computing tables in runtime. Thus, this option now increase
1875 code size, and it does not increase RAM usage in runtime anymore.
1876 * Remove the SSL APIs mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() and
1877 mbedtls_ssl_get_output_max_frag_len(), and add a new API
1878 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_in_record_payload(), complementing the existing
1879 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_out_record_payload().
1880 Uses of mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() and
1881 mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() should be replaced by
1882 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_in_record_payload() and
1883 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_out_record_payload(), respectively.
1884 * mbedtls_rsa_init() now always selects the PKCS#1v1.5 encoding for an RSA
1885 key. To use an RSA key with PSS or OAEP, call mbedtls_rsa_set_padding()
1886 after initializing the context. mbedtls_rsa_set_padding() now returns an
1887 error if its parameters are invalid.
Dave Rodgman745e3582021-07-05 18:53:31 +01001888 * Replace MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_RESPECT_CLIENT_PREFERENCE by a runtime
1889 configuration function mbedtls_ssl_conf_preference_order(). Fixes #4398.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001890 * Instead of accessing the len field of a DHM context, which is no longer
1891 supported, use the new function mbedtls_dhm_get_len() .
1892 * In modules that implement cryptographic hash functions, many functions
1893 mbedtls_xxx() now return int instead of void, and the corresponding
1894 function mbedtls_xxx_ret() which was identical except for returning int
1895 has been removed. This also concerns mbedtls_xxx_drbg_update(). See the
1896 migration guide for more information. Fixes #4212.
1897 * For all functions that take a random number generator (RNG) as a
1898 parameter, this parameter is now mandatory (that is, NULL is not an
1899 acceptable value). Functions which previously accepted NULL and now
1900 reject it are: the X.509 CRT and CSR writing functions; the PK and RSA
1901 sign and decrypt function; mbedtls_rsa_private(); the functions
1902 in DHM and ECDH that compute the shared secret; the scalar multiplication
1903 functions in ECP.
1904 * The following functions now require an RNG parameter:
1905 mbedtls_ecp_check_pub_priv(), mbedtls_pk_check_pair(),
1906 mbedtls_pk_parse_key(), mbedtls_pk_parse_keyfile().
1907 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_export_keys_ext_cb() and
1908 mbedtls_ssl_conf_export_keys_cb() have been removed and
1909 replaced by a new API mbedtls_ssl_set_export_keys_cb().
1910 Raw keys and IVs are no longer passed to the callback.
1911 Further, callbacks now receive an additional parameter
1912 indicating the type of secret that's being exported,
1913 paving the way for the larger number of secrets
1914 in TLS 1.3. Finally, the key export callback and
1915 context are now connection-specific.
1916 * Signature functions in the RSA and PK modules now require the hash
1917 length parameter to be the size of the hash input. For RSA signatures
1918 other than raw PKCS#1 v1.5, this must match the output size of the
1919 specified hash algorithm.
1920 * The functions mbedtls_pk_sign(), mbedtls_pk_sign_restartable(),
1921 mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature() and
1922 mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature_restartable() now take an extra parameter
1923 indicating the size of the output buffer for the signature.
1924 * Implement one-shot cipher functions, psa_cipher_encrypt and
1925 psa_cipher_decrypt, according to the PSA Crypto API 1.0.0
1926 specification.
1927 * Direct access to fields of structures declared in public headers is no
1928 longer supported except for fields that are documented public. Use accessor
1929 functions instead. For more information, see the migration guide entry
1930 "Most structure fields are now private".
Dave Rodgman9bd03892021-07-01 16:59:49 +01001931 * mbedtls_ssl_get_session_pointer() has been removed, and
1932 mbedtls_ssl_{set,get}_session() may now only be called once for any given
1933 SSL context.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001934
1935Default behavior changes
1936 * Enable by default the functionalities which have no reason to be disabled.
1937 They are: ARIA block cipher, CMAC mode, elliptic curve J-PAKE library and
1938 Key Wrapping mode as defined in NIST SP 800-38F. Fixes #4036.
1939 * Some default policies for X.509 certificate verification and TLS have
1940 changed: curves and hashes weaker than 255 bits are no longer accepted
1941 by default. The default order in TLS now favors faster curves over larger
1942 curves.
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +01001943
1944Requirement changes
1945 * The library now uses the %zu format specifier with the printf() family of
1946 functions, so requires a toolchain that supports it. This change does not
1947 affect the maintained LTS branches, so when contributing changes please
1948 bear this in mind and do not add them to backported code.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001949 * If you build the development version of Mbed TLS, rather than an official
1950 release, some configuration-independent files are now generated at build
1951 time rather than checked into source control. This includes some library
1952 source files as well as the Visual Studio solution. Perl, Python 3 and a
1953 C compiler for the host platform are required. See Generated source files
1954 in the development branch in README.md for more information.
1955 * Refresh the minimum supported versions of tools to build the
1956 library. CMake versions older than 3.10.2 and Python older
1957 than 3.6 are no longer supported.
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +01001958
1959Removals
1960 * Remove the MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_CERTIFICATES
1961 compile-time option, which was off by default. Users should not trust
1962 certificates signed with SHA-1 due to the known attacks against SHA-1.
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard143b1e32021-05-05 09:46:01 +02001963 If needed, SHA-1 certificates can still be verified by using a custom
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnarde7563062021-04-26 10:08:29 +02001964 verification profile.
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +01001965 * Removed deprecated things in psa/crypto_compat.h. Fixes #4284
1966 * Removed deprecated functions from hashing modules. Fixes #4280.
1967 * Remove PKCS#11 library wrapper. PKCS#11 has limited functionality,
1968 lacks automated tests and has scarce documentation. Also, PSA Crypto
1969 provides a more flexible private key management.
1970 More details on PCKS#11 wrapper removal can be found in the mailing list
1971 https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/pipermail/mbed-tls/2020-April/000024.html
1972 * Remove deprecated error codes. Fix #4283
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001973 * Remove MBEDTLS_ENABLE_WEAK_CIPHERSUITES configuration option. Fixes #4416.
1974 * Remove the MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_CERTIFICATES
1975 compile-time option. This option has been inactive for a long time.
1976 Please use the `lifetime` parameter of `mbedtls_ssl_ticket_setup()`
1977 instead.
1978 * Remove the following deprecated functions and constants of hex-encoded
1979 primes based on RFC 5114 and RFC 3526 from library code and tests:
1980 mbedtls_aes_encrypt(), mbedtls_aes_decrypt(), mbedtls_mpi_is_prime(),
1981 mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt(), mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt(),
1982 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update(), mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update(),
1983 mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature_det(), mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det(),
1984 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param(), mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len(),
1985 MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC5114_MODP_2048_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC5114_MODP_2048_G,
1986 MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_G,
1987 MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_3072_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_3072_G,
1988 MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_4096_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_4096_G.
1989 Remove the deprecated file: include/mbedtls/net.h. Fixes #4282.
1990 * Remove MBEDTLS_SSL_MAX_CONTENT_LEN configuration option, since
1991 MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN and MBEDTLS_SSL_OUT_CONTENT_LEN replace
1992 it. Fixes #4362.
1993 * Remove the MBEDTLS_SSL_RECORD_CHECKING option and enable by default its
1994 previous action. Fixes #4361.
1995 * Remove support for TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 and DTLS 1.0, as well as support for
1996 CBC record splitting, fallback SCSV, and the ability to configure
1997 ciphersuites per version, which are no longer relevant. This removes the
1998 configuration options MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1,
1999 MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_1, MBEDTLS_SSL_CBC_RECORD_SPLITTING and
2000 MBEDTLS_SSL_FALLBACK_SCSV as well as the functions
2001 mbedtls_ssl_conf_cbc_record_splitting(),
2002 mbedtls_ssl_get_key_exchange_md_ssl_tls(), mbedtls_ssl_conf_fallback(),
2003 and mbedtls_ssl_conf_ciphersuites_for_version(). Fixes #4286.
2004 * The RSA module no longer supports private-key operations with the public
2005 key and vice versa.
2006 * Remove the MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_BADMAC_LIMIT config.h option. Fixes #4403.
2007 * Remove all the 3DES ciphersuites:
2008 MBEDTLS_TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
2009 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
2010 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
2011 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDHE_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
2012 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
2013 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
2014 MBEDTLS_TLS_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
2015 MBEDTLS_TLS_RSA_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
2016 MBEDTLS_TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA. Remove the
2017 MBEDTLS_REMOVE_3DES_CIPHERSUITES option which is no longer relevant.
2018 Fixes #4367.
2019 * Remove the MBEDTLS_X509_ALLOW_EXTENSIONS_NON_V3 option and let the code
2020 behave as if it was always disabled. Fixes #4386.
2021 * Remove MBEDTLS_ECDH_LEGACY_CONTEXT config option since this was purely for
2022 backward compatibility which is no longer supported. Addresses #4404.
2023 * Remove the following macros: MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS,
2024 MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS_ASSERT, MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED,
2025 MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED_ALT. Fixes #4313.
2026 * Remove the MBEDTLS_X509_ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION config.h
2027 option. The mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() is the way to go for
2028 migration path. Fixes #4378.
Dave Rodgman745e3582021-07-05 18:53:31 +01002029 * Remove the MBEDTLS_X509_CHECK_KEY_USAGE and
2030 MBEDTLS_X509_CHECK_EXTENDED_KEY_USAGE config.h options and let the code
2031 behave as if they were always enabled. Fixes #4405.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01002032 * MBEDTLS_ECP_MAX_BITS is no longer a configuration option because it is
2033 now determined automatically based on supported curves.
Dave Rodgman745e3582021-07-05 18:53:31 +01002034 * Remove the following functions: mbedtls_timing_self_test(),
2035 mbedtls_hardclock_poll(), mbedtls_timing_hardclock() and
2036 mbedtls_set_alarm(). Fixes #4083.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01002037 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_INTERNAL_RNG has been removed as
2038 it no longer had any effect.
Dave Rodgman745e3582021-07-05 18:53:31 +01002039 * Remove all support for MD2, MD4, RC4, Blowfish and XTEA. This removes the
2040 corresponding modules and all their APIs and related configuration
2041 options. Fixes #4084.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01002042 * Remove MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC and also remove
2043 MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC_COMPAT config option. Users are better served by
2044 using a CCM-8 ciphersuite than a CBC ciphersuite with truncated HMAC.
2045 See issue #4341 for more details.
2046 * Remove the compile-time option
2047 MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_KEY_EXCHANGE.
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +01002048
2049Features
2050 * Add mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pss_sign_ext() function allowing to generate a
2051 signature with a specific salt length. This function allows to validate
2052 test cases provided in the NIST's CAVP test suite. Contributed by Cédric
2053 Meuter in PR #3183.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01002054 * Added support for built-in driver keys through the PSA opaque crypto
2055 driver interface. Refer to the documentation of
2056 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_BUILTIN_KEYS for more information.
2057 * Implement psa_sign_message() and psa_verify_message().
2058 * The multi-part GCM interface (mbedtls_gcm_update() or
2059 mbedtls_cipher_update()) no longer requires the size of partial inputs to
2060 be a multiple of 16.
2061 * The multi-part GCM interface now supports chunked associated data through
2062 multiple calls to mbedtls_gcm_update_ad().
2063 * The new function mbedtls_mpi_random() generates a random value in a
2064 given range uniformly.
2065 * Alternative implementations of the AES, DHM, ECJPAKE, ECP, RSA and timing
2066 modules had undocumented constraints on their context types. These
2067 constraints have been relaxed.
2068 See docs/architecture/alternative-implementations.md for the remaining
2069 constraints.
2070 * The new functions mbedtls_dhm_get_len() and mbedtls_dhm_get_bitlen()
2071 query the size of the modulus in a Diffie-Hellman context.
2072 * The new function mbedtls_dhm_get_value() copy a field out of a
2073 Diffie-Hellman context.
2074 * Use the new function mbedtls_ecjpake_set_point_format() to select the
2075 point format for ECJPAKE instead of accessing the point_format field
2076 directly, which is no longer supported.
2077 * Implement psa_mac_compute() and psa_mac_verify() as defined in the
2078 PSA Cryptograpy API 1.0.0 specification.
2079
2080Security
Dave Rodgman5b13f602021-07-05 18:09:16 +01002081 * Fix a bias in the generation of finite-field Diffie-Hellman-Merkle (DHM)
2082 private keys and of blinding values for DHM and elliptic curves (ECP)
2083 computations. Reported by FlorianF89 in #4245.
2084 * Fix a potential side channel vulnerability in ECDSA ephemeral key generation.
2085 An adversary who is capable of very precise timing measurements could
2086 learn partial information about the leading bits of the nonce used for the
2087 signature, allowing the recovery of the private key after observing a
2088 large number of signature operations. This completes a partial fix in
2089 Mbed TLS 2.20.0.
Tom Cosgroveb3c6a1e2023-03-08 15:47:00 +00002090 * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough information
2091 about memory accesses (typically, an untrusted operating system attacking
2092 a secure enclave) could recover an RSA private key after observing the
2093 victim performing a single private-key operation. Found and reported by
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01002094 Zili KOU, Wenjian HE, Sharad Sinha, and Wei ZHANG.
Tom Cosgroveb3c6a1e2023-03-08 15:47:00 +00002095 * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough timing
2096 information (typically, a co-located process) could recover a Curve25519
2097 or Curve448 static ECDH key after inputting a chosen public key and
2098 observing the victim performing the corresponding private-key operation.
2099 Found and reported by Leila Batina, Lukas Chmielewski, Björn Haase, Niels
2100 Samwel and Peter Schwabe.
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +01002101
2102Bugfix
2103 * Fix premature fopen() call in mbedtls_entropy_write_seed_file which may
2104 lead to the seed file corruption in case if the path to the seed file is
2105 equal to MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_STD_NV_SEED_FILE. Contributed by Victor
2106 Krasnoshchok in #3616.
2107 * PSA functions creating a key now return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT rather
2108 than PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE when the identifier specified for the key
2109 to create is not valid, bringing them in line with version 1.0.0 of the
2110 specification. Fix #4271.
2111 * Add printf function attributes to mbedtls_debug_print_msg to ensure we
2112 get printf format specifier warnings.
2113 * PSA functions other than psa_open_key now return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE
2114 rather than PSA_ERROR_DOES_NOT_EXIST for an invalid handle, bringing them
2115 in line with version 1.0.0 of the specification. Fix #4162.
2116 * Fix a bug in ECDSA that would cause it to fail when the hash is all-bits
2117 zero. Fixes #1792
Gilles Peskinef4998b02021-06-10 15:51:54 +02002118 * Fix some cases in the bignum module where the library constructed an
2119 unintended representation of the value 0 which was not processed
2120 correctly by some bignum operations. This could happen when
2121 mbedtls_mpi_read_string() was called on "-0", or when
2122 mbedtls_mpi_mul_mpi() and mbedtls_mpi_mul_int() was called with one of
2123 the arguments being negative and the other being 0. Fixes #4643.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01002124 * Fix a compilation error when MBEDTLS_ECP_RANDOMIZE_MXZ_ALT is
2125 defined. Fixes #4217.
2126 * Fix an incorrect error code when parsing a PKCS#8 private key.
2127 * In a TLS client, enforce the Diffie-Hellman minimum parameter size
2128 set with mbedtls_ssl_conf_dhm_min_bitlen() precisely. Before, the
2129 minimum size was rounded down to the nearest multiple of 8.
2130 * In library/net_sockets.c, _POSIX_C_SOURCE and _XOPEN_SOURCE are
2131 defined to specific values. If the code is used in a context
2132 where these are already defined, this can result in a compilation
2133 error. Instead, assume that if they are defined, the values will
2134 be adequate to build Mbed TLS.
2135 * With MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C disabled, some functions were getting built
2136 nonetheless, resulting in undefined reference errors when building a
2137 shared library. Reported by Guillermo Garcia M. in #4411.
2138 * The cipher suite TLS-RSA-WITH-CAMELLIA-256-GCM-SHA384 was not available
2139 when SHA-1 was disabled and was offered when SHA-1 was enabled but SHA-384
2140 was disabled. Fix the dependency. Fixes #4472.
2141 * Do not offer SHA384 cipher suites when SHA-384 is disabled. Fixes #4499.
2142 * Fix test suite code on platforms where int32_t is not int, such as
2143 Arm Cortex-M. Fixes #4530.
2144 * Fix some issues affecting MBEDTLS_ARIA_ALT implementations: a misplaced
2145 directive in a header and a missing initialization in the self-test.
2146 * Fix a missing initialization in the Camellia self-test, affecting
2147 MBEDTLS_CAMELLIA_ALT implementations.
2148 * Restore the ability to configure PSA via Mbed TLS options to support RSA
2149 key pair operations but exclude RSA key generation. When MBEDTLS_GENPRIME
2150 is not defined PSA will no longer attempt to use mbedtls_rsa_gen_key().
2151 Fixes #4512.
2152 * Fix a regression introduced in 2.24.0 which broke (D)TLS CBC ciphersuites
2153 (when the encrypt-then-MAC extension is not in use) with some ALT
2154 implementations of the underlying hash (SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384), causing
2155 the affected side to wrongly reject valid messages. Fixes #4118.
2156 * Remove outdated check-config.h check that prevented implementing the
2157 timing module on Mbed OS. Fixes #4633.
2158 * Fix PSA_ALG_TLS12_PRF and PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS being too permissive
2159 about missing inputs.
2160 * Fix mbedtls_net_poll() and mbedtls_net_recv_timeout() often failing with
2161 MBEDTLS_ERR_NET_POLL_FAILED on Windows. Fixes #4465.
2162 * Fix a resource leak in a test suite with an alternative AES
2163 implementation. Fixes #4176.
2164 * Fix a crash in mbedtls_mpi_debug_mpi on a bignum having 0 limbs. This
2165 could notably be triggered by setting the TLS debug level to 3 or above
2166 and using a Montgomery curve for the key exchange. Reported by lhuang04
2167 in #4578. Fixes #4608.
2168 * psa_verify_hash() was relying on implementation-specific behavior of
2169 mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pss_verify() and was causing failures in some _ALT
2170 implementations. This reliance is now removed. Fixes #3990.
2171 * Disallow inputs of length different from the corresponding hash when
2172 signing or verifying with PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS (The PSA Crypto API mandates
2173 that PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS uses the same hash throughout the algorithm.)
2174 * Fix a null pointer dereference when mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod() was called with
2175 A=0 represented with 0 limbs. Up to and including Mbed TLS 2.26, this bug
2176 could not be triggered by code that constructed A with one of the
2177 mbedtls_mpi_read_xxx functions (including in particular TLS code) since
2178 those always built an mpi object with at least one limb.
2179 Credit to OSS-Fuzz. Fixes #4641.
2180 * Fix mbedtls_mpi_gcd(G,A,B) when the value of B is zero. This had no
2181 effect on Mbed TLS's internal use of mbedtls_mpi_gcd(), but may affect
2182 applications that call mbedtls_mpi_gcd() directly. Fixes #4642.
2183 * The PSA API no longer allows the creation or destruction of keys with a
2184 read-only lifetime. The persistence level PSA_KEY_PERSISTENCE_READ_ONLY
2185 can now only be used as intended, for keys that cannot be modified through
2186 normal use of the API.
2187 * When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SPM is enabled, crypto_spe.h was not included
2188 in all the right places. Include it from crypto_platform.h, which is
2189 the natural place. Fixes #4649.
2190 * Fix which alert is sent in some cases to conform to the
2191 applicable RFC: on an invalid Finished message value, an
2192 invalid max_fragment_length extension, or an
2193 unsupported extension used by the server.
Dave Rodgmana84a8eb2021-07-01 17:01:04 +01002194 * Correct (change from 12 to 13 bytes) the value of the macro describing the
2195 maximum nonce length returned by psa_aead_generate_nonce().
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +01002196
2197Changes
2198 * Fix the setting of the read timeout in the DTLS sample programs.
2199 * Add extra printf compiler warning flags to builds.
2200 * Fix memsan build false positive in x509_crt.c with clang 11
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01002201 * Alternative implementations of CMAC may now opt to not support 3DES as a
2202 CMAC block cipher, and still pass the CMAC self test.
2203 * Remove the AES sample application programs/aes/aescrypt2 which shows
2204 bad cryptographic practice. Fix #1906.
2205 * Remove configs/config-psa-crypto.h, which no longer had any intended
2206 differences from the default configuration, but had accidentally diverged.
2207 * When building the test suites with GNU make, invoke python3 or python, not
2208 python2, which is no longer supported upstream.
2209 * fix build failure on MinGW toolchain when __USE_MING_ANSI_STDIO is on.
2210 When that flag is on, standard GNU C printf format specifiers
2211 should be used.
2212 * Replace MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_PADDING_GRANULARITY and
2213 MBEDTLS_SSL_TLS1_3_PADDING_GRANULARITY with a new single unified option
2214 MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_TLS1_3_PADDING_GRANULARITY. Fixes #4335.
2215 * Reduce the default value of MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE. This reduces RAM usage
2216 during ECC operations at a negligible performance cost.
2217 * mbedtls_mpi_read_binary(), mbedtls_mpi_read_binary_le() and
2218 mbedtls_mpi_read_string() now construct an mbedtls_mpi object with 0 limbs
2219 when their input has length 0. Note that this is an implementation detail
2220 and can change at any time, so this change should be transparent, but it
2221 may result in mbedtls_mpi_write_binary() or mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
2222 now writing an empty string where it previously wrote one or more
2223 zero digits when operating from values constructed with an mpi_read
2224 function and some mpi operations.
2225 * Add CMake package config generation for CMake projects consuming Mbed TLS.
2226 * config.h has been split into build_info.h and mbedtls_config.h
2227 build_info.h is intended to be included from C code directly, while
2228 mbedtls_config.h is intended to be edited by end users wishing to
2229 change the build configuration, and should generally only be included from
2230 build_info.h.
2231 * The handling of MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE has been moved into build_info.h.
2232 * A config file version symbol, MBEDTLS_CONFIG_VERSION was introduced.
2233 Defining it to a particular value will ensure that Mbed TLS interprets
2234 the config file in a way that's compatible with the config file format
2235 used by the Mbed TLS release whose MBEDTLS_VERSION_NUMBER has the same
2236 value.
2237 The only value supported by Mbed TLS 3.0.0 is 0x03000000.
2238 * Various changes to which alert and/or error code may be returned
2239 * during the TLS handshake.
2240 * Implicitly add PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_MESSAGE key usage policy flag when
2241 PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_HASH flag is set and PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_MESSAGE flag
2242 when PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_HASH flag is set. This usage flag extension
2243 is also applied when loading a key from storage.

2246
2247API changes
2248 * Renamed the PSA Crypto API output buffer size macros to bring them in line
2249 with version 1.0.0 of the specification.
2250 * The API glue function mbedtls_ecc_group_of_psa() now takes the curve size
2251 in bits rather than bytes, with an additional flag to indicate if the
2252 size may have been rounded up to a whole number of bytes.
2253 * Renamed the PSA Crypto API AEAD tag length macros to bring them in line
2254 with version 1.0.0 of the specification.
2255
2256Default behavior changes
2257 * In mbedtls_rsa_context objects, the ver field was formerly documented
2258 as always 0. It is now reserved for internal purposes and may take
2259 different values.
2260
2261New deprecations
2262 * PSA_KEY_EXPORT_MAX_SIZE, PSA_HASH_SIZE, PSA_MAC_FINAL_SIZE,
2263 PSA_BLOCK_CIPHER_BLOCK_SIZE, PSA_MAX_BLOCK_CIPHER_BLOCK_SIZE and
2264 PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS_MAX_PSK_LEN have been renamed, and the old names
2265 deprecated.
2266 * PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_DEFAULT_TAG_LENGTH and PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_TAG_LENGTH
2267 have been renamed, and the old names deprecated.
2268
2269Features
2270 * The PSA crypto subsystem can now use HMAC_DRBG instead of CTR_DRBG.
2271 CTR_DRBG is used by default if it is available, but you can override
2272 this choice by setting MBEDTLS_PSA_HMAC_DRBG_MD_TYPE at compile time.
2273 Fix #3354.
2274 * Automatic fallback to a software implementation of ECP when
2275 MBEDTLS_ECP_xxx_ALT accelerator hooks are in use can now be turned off
2276 through setting the new configuration flag MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_FALLBACK.
2277 * The PSA crypto subsystem can now be configured to use less static RAM by
2278 tweaking the setting for the maximum amount of keys simultaneously in RAM.
2279 MBEDTLS_PSA_KEY_SLOT_COUNT sets the maximum number of volatile keys that
2280 can exist simultaneously. It has a sensible default if not overridden.
2281 * Partial implementation of the PSA crypto driver interface: Mbed TLS can
2282 now use an external random generator instead of the library's own
2283 entropy collection and DRBG code. Enable MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG
2284 and see the documentation of mbedtls_psa_external_get_random() for details.
2285 * Applications using both mbedtls_xxx and psa_xxx functions (for example,
2286 applications using TLS and MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO) can now use the PSA
2287 random generator with mbedtls_xxx functions. See the documentation of
2288 mbedtls_psa_get_random() for details.
2289 * In the PSA API, the policy for a MAC or AEAD algorithm can specify a
2290 minimum MAC or tag length thanks to the new wildcards
2291 PSA_ALG_AT_LEAST_THIS_LENGTH_MAC and
2292 PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_AT_LEAST_THIS_LENGTH_TAG.
2293
2294Security
2295 * Fix a security reduction in CTR_DRBG when the initial seeding obtained a
2296 nonce from entropy. Applications were affected if they called
2297 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len(), if they called
2298 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_entropy_len() with a size that was 3/2 times the key
2299 length, or when the entropy module uses SHA-256 and CTR_DRBG uses AES-256.
2300 In such cases, a random nonce was necessary to achieve the advertised
2301 security strength, but the code incorrectly used a constant instead of
2302 entropy from the nonce.
2303 Found by John Stroebel in #3819 and fixed in #3973.
2304 * Fix a buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() when calculating
2305 |A| - |B| where |B| is larger than |A| and has more limbs (so the
2306 function should return MBEDTLS_ERR_MPI_NEGATIVE_VALUE). Only
2307 applications calling mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() directly are affected:
2308 all calls inside the library were safe since this function is
2309 only called with |A| >= |B|. Reported by Guido Vranken in #4042.
2310 * Fix an errorneous estimation for an internal buffer in
2311 mbedtls_pk_write_key_pem(). If MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE is set to an odd
2312 value the function might fail to write a private RSA keys of the largest
2313 supported size.
2314 Found by Daniel Otte, reported in #4093 and fixed in #4094.
2315 * Fix a stack buffer overflow with mbedtls_net_poll() and
2316 mbedtls_net_recv_timeout() when given a file descriptor that is
2317 beyond FD_SETSIZE. Reported by FigBug in #4169.
2318 * Guard against strong local side channel attack against base64 tables by
2319 making access aceess to them use constant flow code.
2320
2321Bugfix
2322 * Fix use-after-scope error in programs/ssl/ssl_client2.c and ssl_server2.c
2323 * Fix memory leak that occured when calling psa_close_key() on a
2324 wrapped key with MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C defined.
2325 * Fix an incorrect error code if an RSA private operation glitched.
2326 * Fix a memory leak in an error case in psa_generate_derived_key_internal().
2327 * Fix a resource leak in CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C
2328 is enabled, on platforms where initializing a mutex allocates resources.
2329 This was a regression introduced in the previous release. Reported in
2330 #4017, #4045 and #4071.
2331 * Ensure that calling mbedtls_rsa_free() or mbedtls_entropy_free()
2332 twice is safe. This happens for RSA when some Mbed TLS library functions
2333 fail. Such a double-free was not safe when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C was
2334 enabled on platforms where freeing a mutex twice is not safe.
2335 * Fix a resource leak in a bad-arguments case of mbedtls_rsa_gen_key()
2336 when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled on platforms where initializing
2337 a mutex allocates resources.
2338 * Fixes a bug where, if the library was configured to include support for
2339 both the old SE interface and the new PSA driver interface, external keys were
2340 not loaded from storage. This was fixed by #3996.
2341 * This change makes 'mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_basic_constraints'
2342 consistent with RFC 5280 4.2.1.9 which says: "Conforming CAs MUST
2343 include this extension in all CA certificates that contain public keys
2344 used to validate digital signatures on certificates and MUST mark the
2345 extension as critical in such certificates." Previous to this change,
2346 the extension was always marked as non-critical. This was fixed by
2347 #3698.
2348
2349Changes
2350 * A new library C file psa_crypto_client.c has been created to contain
2351 the PSA code needed by a PSA crypto client when the PSA crypto
2352 implementation is not included into the library.
2353 * On recent enough versions of FreeBSD and DragonFlyBSD, the entropy module
2354 now uses the getrandom syscall instead of reading from /dev/urandom.

2358API changes
2359 * The numerical values of the PSA Crypto API macros have been updated to
2360 conform to version 1.0.0 of the specification.
2361 * PSA_ALG_STREAM_CIPHER replaces PSA_ALG_CHACHA20 and PSA_ALG_ARC4.
2362 The underlying stream cipher is determined by the key type
2363 (PSA_KEY_TYPE_CHACHA20 or PSA_KEY_TYPE_ARC4).
2364 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
2365 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() no longer accept NIST_KW contexts,
2366 as they have no way to check if the output buffer is large enough.
2367 Please use mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt_ext() and
2368 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt_ext() instead. Credit to OSS-Fuzz and
2369 Cryptofuzz. Fixes #3665.
2370
2371Requirement changes
Janos Follathe9216262020-12-10 11:03:01 +00002372 * Update the minimum required CMake version to 2.8.12. This silences a
2373 warning on CMake 3.19.0. #3801
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +00002374
2375New deprecations
Bence Szépkútife9a4252021-02-08 18:13:02 +01002376 * PSA_ALG_CHACHA20 and PSA_ALG_ARC4 have been deprecated.
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +00002377 Use PSA_ALG_STREAM_CIPHER instead.
2378 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
2379 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() are deprecated in favour of the new
2380 functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt_ext() and
2381 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt_ext(). Please note that with AEAD ciphers,
2382 these new functions always append the tag to the ciphertext, and include
2383 the tag in the ciphertext length.
2384
2385Features
Janos Follathd6ce1162020-12-09 16:32:01 +00002386 * Partial implementation of the new PSA Crypto accelerator APIs. (Symmetric
2387 ciphers, asymmetric signing/verification and key generation, validate_key
2388 entry point, and export_public_key interface.)
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +00002389 * Add support for ECB to the PSA cipher API.
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +00002390 * In PSA, allow using a key declared with a base key agreement algorithm
2391 in combined key agreement and derivation operations, as long as the key
2392 agreement algorithm in use matches the algorithm the key was declared with.
2393 This is currently non-standard behaviour, but expected to make it into a
2394 future revision of the PSA Crypto standard.
2395 * Add MBEDTLS_TARGET_PREFIX CMake variable, which is prefixed to the mbedtls,
2396 mbedcrypto, mbedx509 and apidoc CMake target names. This can be used by
2397 external CMake projects that include this one to avoid CMake target name
2398 clashes. The default value of this variable is "", so default target names
2399 are unchanged.
2400 * Add support for DTLS-SRTP as defined in RFC 5764. Contributed by Johan
2401 Pascal, improved by Ron Eldor.
2402 * In the PSA API, it is no longer necessary to open persistent keys:
2403 operations now accept the key identifier. The type psa_key_handle_t is now
2404 identical to psa_key_id_t instead of being platform-defined. This bridges
2405 the last major gap to compliance with the PSA Cryptography specification
2406 version 1.0.0. Opening persistent keys is still supported for backward
2407 compatibility, but will be deprecated and later removed in future
2408 releases.
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +00002409 * PSA_AEAD_NONCE_LENGTH, PSA_AEAD_NONCE_MAX_SIZE, PSA_CIPHER_IV_LENGTH and
2410 PSA_CIPHER_IV_MAX_SIZE macros have been added as defined in version
2411 1.0.0 of the PSA Crypto API specification.
2412
2413Security
2414 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
2415 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() would write past the minimum documented
2416 size of the output buffer when used with NIST_KW. As a result, code using
2417 those functions as documented with NIST_KW could have a buffer overwrite
2418 of up to 15 bytes, with consequences ranging up to arbitrary code
2419 execution depending on the location of the output buffer.
2420 * Limit the size of calculations performed by mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod to
2421 MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE to prevent a potential denial of service when
2422 generating Diffie-Hellman key pairs. Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
2423 * A failure of the random generator was ignored in mbedtls_mpi_fill_random(),
2424 which is how most uses of randomization in asymmetric cryptography
2425 (including key generation, intermediate value randomization and blinding)
2426 are implemented. This could cause failures or the silent use of non-random
2427 values. A random generator can fail if it needs reseeding and cannot not
2428 obtain entropy, or due to an internal failure (which, for Mbed TLS's own
2429 CTR_DRBG or HMAC_DRBG, can only happen due to a misconfiguration).
2430 * Fix a compliance issue whereby we were not checking the tag on the
2431 algorithm parameters (only the size) when comparing the signature in the
2432 description part of the cert to the real signature. This meant that a
2433 NULL algorithm parameters entry would look identical to an array of REAL
2434 (size zero) to the library and thus the certificate would be considered
2435 valid. However, if the parameters do not match in *any* way then the
2436 certificate should be considered invalid, and indeed OpenSSL marks these
2437 certs as invalid when mbedtls did not.
2438 Many thanks to guidovranken who found this issue via differential fuzzing
2439 and reported it in #3629.
2440 * Zeroising of local buffers and variables which are used for calculations
2441 in mbedtls_pkcs5_pbkdf2_hmac(), mbedtls_internal_sha*_process(),
2442 mbedtls_internal_md*_process() and mbedtls_internal_ripemd160_process()
2443 functions to erase sensitive data from memory. Reported by
2444 Johan Malmgren and Johan Uppman Bruce from Sectra.
2445
2446Bugfix
Janos Follath76027f62020-12-09 16:28:35 +00002447 * Fix an invalid (but nonzero) return code from mbedtls_pk_parse_subpubkey()
2448 when the input has trailing garbage. Fixes #2512.
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +00002449 * Fix build failure in configurations where MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is
2450 enabled but ECDSA is disabled. Contributed by jdurkop. Fixes #3294.
2451 * Include the psa_constant_names generated source code in the source tree
2452 instead of generating it at build time. Fixes #3524.
2453 * Fix rsa_prepare_blinding() to retry when the blinding value is not
2454 invertible (mod N), instead of returning MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_RNG_FAILED. This
2455 addresses a regression but is rare in practice (approx. 1 in 2/sqrt(N)).
2456 Found by Synopsys Coverity, fix contributed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin).
2457 Fixes #3647.
2458 * Use socklen_t on Android and other POSIX-compliant system
2459 * Fix the build when the macro _GNU_SOURCE is defined to a non-empty value.
2460 Fix #3432.
2461 * Consistently return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT on invalid cipher input
2462 sizes (instead of PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATE in some cases) to make the
2463 psa_cipher_* functions compliant with the PSA Crypto API specification.
2464 * mbedtls_ecp_curve_list() now lists Curve25519 and Curve448 under the names
2465 "x25519" and "x448". These curves support ECDH but not ECDSA. If you need
2466 only the curves that support ECDSA, filter the list with
2467 mbedtls_ecdsa_can_do().
2468 * Fix psa_generate_key() returning an error when asked to generate
2469 an ECC key pair on Curve25519 or secp244k1.
2470 * Fix psa_key_derivation_output_key() to allow the output of a combined key
2471 agreement and subsequent key derivation operation to be used as a key
2472 inside of the PSA Crypto core.
2473 * Fix handling of EOF against 0xff bytes and on platforms with unsigned
2474 chars. Fixes a build failure on platforms where char is unsigned. Fixes
2475 #3794.
2476 * Fix an off-by-one error in the additional data length check for
2477 CCM, which allowed encryption with a non-standard length field.
2478 Fixes #3719.
2479 * Correct the default IV size for mbedtls_cipher_info_t structures using
2480 MBEDTLS_MODE_ECB to 0, since ECB mode ciphers don't use IVs.
2481 * Make arc4random_buf available on NetBSD and OpenBSD when _POSIX_C_SOURCE is
2482 defined. Fix contributed in #3571.
2483 * Fix conditions for including string.h in error.c. Fixes #3866.
2484 * psa_set_key_id() now also sets the lifetime to persistent for keys located
2485 in a secure element.
2486 * Attempting to create a volatile key with a non-zero key identifier now
2487 fails. Previously the key identifier was just ignored when creating a
2488 volatile key.
2489 * Attempting to create or register a key with a key identifier in the vendor
2490 range now fails.
2491 * Fix build failures on GCC 11. Fixes #3782.
2492 * Add missing arguments of debug message in mbedtls_ssl_decrypt_buf.
2493 * Fix a memory leak in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() when the result was negative
2494 (an error condition) and the second operand was aliased to the result.
2495 * Fix a case in elliptic curve arithmetic where an out-of-memory condition
2496 could go undetected, resulting in an incorrect result.
2497 * In CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG, don't reset the reseed interval in seed().
2498 Fixes #2927.
2499 * In PEM writing functions, fill the trailing part of the buffer with null
2500 bytes. This guarantees that the corresponding parsing function can read
2501 the buffer back, which was the case for mbedtls_x509write_{crt,csr}_pem
2502 until this property was inadvertently broken in Mbed TLS 2.19.0.
2503 Fixes #3682.
2504 * Fix a build failure that occurred with the MBEDTLS_AES_SETKEY_DEC_ALT
2505 option on. In this configuration key management methods that are required
2506 for MBEDTLS_CIPHER_MODE_XTS were excluded from the build and made it fail.
2507 Fixes #3818. Reported by John Stroebel.
2508
2509Changes
2510 * Reduce stack usage significantly during sliding window exponentiation.
2511 Reported in #3591 and fix contributed in #3592 by Daniel Otte.
2512 * The PSA persistent storage format is updated to always store the key bits
2513 attribute. No automatic upgrade path is provided. Previously stored keys
2514 must be erased, or manually upgraded based on the key storage format
2515 specification (docs/architecture/mbed-crypto-storage-specification.md).
2516 Fixes #3740.
2517 * Remove the zeroization of a pointer variable in AES rounds. It was valid
2518 but spurious and misleading since it looked like a mistaken attempt to
2519 zeroize the pointed-to buffer. Reported by Antonio de la Piedra, CEA
2520 Leti, France.

Janos Follathc18a7b82020-08-26 14:49:16 +01002523
2524API changes
Janos Follath6012f0e2020-08-26 15:32:10 +01002525 * In the PSA API, rename the types of elliptic curve and Diffie-Hellman
2526 group families to psa_ecc_family_t and psa_dh_family_t, in line with the
2527 PSA Crypto API specification version 1.0.0.
Janos Follathc18a7b82020-08-26 14:49:16 +01002528 Rename associated macros as well:
2529 PSA_ECC_CURVE_xxx renamed to PSA_ECC_FAMILY_xxx
2530 PSA_DH_GROUP_xxx renamed to PSA_DH_FAMILY_xxx
2531 PSA_KEY_TYPE_GET_CURVE renamed to to PSA_KEY_TYPE_ECC_GET_FAMILY
2532 PSA_KEY_TYPE_GET_GROUP renamed to PSA_KEY_TYPE_DH_GET_FAMILY
2533
2534Default behavior changes
2535 * Stop storing persistent information about externally stored keys created
2536 through PSA Crypto with a volatile lifetime. Reported in #3288 and
2537 contributed by Steven Cooreman in #3382.
2538
2539Features
2540 * The new function mbedtls_ecp_write_key() exports private ECC keys back to
2541 a byte buffer. It is the inverse of the existing mbedtls_ecp_read_key().
2542 * Support building on e2k (Elbrus) architecture: correctly enable
2543 -Wformat-signedness, and fix the code that causes signed-one-bit-field
2544 and sign-compare warnings. Contributed by makise-homura (Igor Molchanov)
2545 <akemi_homura@kurisa.ch>.
2546
2547Security
2548 * Fix a vulnerability in the verification of X.509 certificates when
2549 matching the expected common name (the cn argument of
2550 mbedtls_x509_crt_verify()) with the actual certificate name: when the
2551 subjecAltName extension is present, the expected name was compared to any
2552 name in that extension regardless of its type. This means that an
2553 attacker could for example impersonate a 4-bytes or 16-byte domain by
2554 getting a certificate for the corresponding IPv4 or IPv6 (this would
2555 require the attacker to control that IP address, though). Similar attacks
2556 using other subjectAltName name types might be possible. Found and
2557 reported by kFYatek in #3498.
2558 * When checking X.509 CRLs, a certificate was only considered as revoked if
2559 its revocationDate was in the past according to the local clock if
2560 available. In particular, on builds without MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE,
2561 certificates were never considered as revoked. On builds with
2562 MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE, an attacker able to control the local clock (for
2563 example, an untrusted OS attacking a secure enclave) could prevent
2564 revocation of certificates via CRLs. Fixed by no longer checking the
2565 revocationDate field, in accordance with RFC 5280. Reported by
2566 yuemonangong in #3340. Reported independently and fixed by
2567 Raoul Strackx and Jethro Beekman in #3433.
2568 * In (D)TLS record decryption, when using a CBC ciphersuites without the
2569 Encrypt-then-Mac extension, use constant code flow memory access patterns
2570 to extract and check the MAC. This is an improvement to the existing
2571 countermeasure against Lucky 13 attacks. The previous countermeasure was
2572 effective against network-based attackers, but less so against local
2573 attackers. The new countermeasure defends against local attackers, even
2574 if they have access to fine-grained measurements. In particular, this
2575 fixes a local Lucky 13 cache attack found and reported by Tuba Yavuz,
2576 Farhaan Fowze, Ken (Yihan) Bai, Grant Hernandez, and Kevin Butler
2577 (University of Florida) and Dave Tian (Purdue University).
2578 * Fix side channel in RSA private key operations and static (finite-field)
2579 Diffie-Hellman. An adversary with precise enough timing and memory access
2580 information (typically an untrusted operating system attacking a secure
2581 enclave) could bypass an existing counter-measure (base blinding) and
2582 potentially fully recover the private key.
2583 * Fix a 1-byte buffer overread in mbedtls_x509_crl_parse_der().
2584 Credit to OSS-Fuzz for detecting the problem and to Philippe Antoine
2585 for pinpointing the problematic code.
2586 * Zeroising of plaintext buffers in mbedtls_ssl_read() to erase unused
2587 application data from memory. Reported in #689 by
2588 Johan Uppman Bruce of Sectra.
2589
2590Bugfix
2591 * Library files installed after a CMake build no longer have execute
2592 permission.
Janos Follath6012f0e2020-08-26 15:32:10 +01002593 * Use local labels in mbedtls_padlock_has_support() to fix an invalid symbol
2594 redefinition if the function is inlined.
Janos Follathc18a7b82020-08-26 14:49:16 +01002595 Reported in #3451 and fix contributed in #3452 by okhowang.
2596 * Fix the endianness of Curve25519 keys imported/exported through the PSA
2597 APIs. psa_import_key and psa_export_key will now correctly expect/output
2598 Montgomery keys in little-endian as defined by RFC7748. Contributed by
2599 Steven Cooreman in #3425.
2600 * Fix build errors when the only enabled elliptic curves are Montgomery
2601 curves. Raised by signpainter in #941 and by Taiki-San in #1412. This
2602 also fixes missing declarations reported by Steven Cooreman in #1147.
2603 * Fix self-test failure when the only enabled short Weierstrass elliptic
2604 curve is secp192k1. Fixes #2017.
2605 * PSA key import will now correctly import a Curve25519/Curve448 public key
2606 instead of erroring out. Contributed by Steven Cooreman in #3492.
2607 * Use arc4random_buf on NetBSD instead of rand implementation with cyclical
2608 lower bits. Fix contributed in #3540.
2609 * Fix a memory leak in mbedtls_md_setup() when using HMAC under low memory
2610 conditions. Reported and fix suggested by Guido Vranken in #3486.
2611 * Fix bug in redirection of unit test outputs on platforms where stdout is
2612 defined as a macro. First reported in #2311 and fix contributed in #3528.
2613
2614Changes
2615 * Only pass -Wformat-signedness to versions of GCC that support it. Reported
2616 in #3478 and fix contributed in #3479 by okhowang.
2617 * Reduce the stack consumption of mbedtls_x509write_csr_der() which
2618 previously could lead to stack overflow on constrained devices.
2619 Contributed by Doru Gucea and Simon Leet in #3464.
2620 * Undefine the ASSERT macro before defining it locally, in case it is defined
2621 in a platform header. Contributed by Abdelatif Guettouche in #3557.
2622 * Update copyright notices to use Linux Foundation guidance. As a result,
2623 the copyright of contributors other than Arm is now acknowledged, and the
2624 years of publishing are no longer tracked in the source files. This also
2625 eliminates the need for the lines declaring the files to be part of
2626 MbedTLS. Fixes #3457.
2627 * Add the command line parameter key_pwd to the ssl_client2 and ssl_server2
2628 example applications which allows to provide a password for the key file
2629 specified through the existing key_file argument. This allows the use of
2630 these applications with password-protected key files. Analogously but for
2631 ssl_server2 only, add the command line parameter key_pwd2 which allows to
2632 set a password for the key file provided through the existing key_file2
2633 argument.

Janos Follath19590102020-06-26 11:26:02 +01002636
2637Default behavior changes
2638 * In the experimental PSA secure element interface, change the encoding of
2639 key lifetimes to encode a persistence level and the location. Although C
2640 prototypes do not effectively change, code calling
2641 psa_register_se_driver() must be modified to pass the driver's location
2642 instead of the keys' lifetime. If the library is upgraded on an existing
2643 device, keys created with the old lifetime value will not be readable or
2644 removable through Mbed TLS after the upgrade.
2645
2646Features
2647 * New functions in the error module return constant strings for
2648 high- and low-level error codes, complementing mbedtls_strerror()
2649 which constructs a string for any error code, including compound
2650 ones, but requires a writable buffer. Contributed by Gaurav Aggarwal
2651 in #3176.
2652 * The new utility programs/ssl/ssl_context_info prints a human-readable
2653 dump of an SSL context saved with mbedtls_ssl_context_save().
2654 * Add support for midipix, a POSIX layer for Microsoft Windows.
2655 * Add new mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() routine which allows
2656 parsing unsupported certificate extensions via user provided callback.
2657 Contributed by Nicola Di Lieto <nicola.dilieto@gmail.com> in #3243 as
2658 a solution to #3241.
2659 * Pass the "certificate policies" extension to the callback supplied to
2660 mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() if it contains unsupported
2661 policies (#3419).
2662 * Added support to entropy_poll for the kern.arandom syscall supported on
2663 some BSD systems. Contributed by Nia Alarie in #3423.
2664 * Add support for Windows 2000 in net_sockets. Contributed by opatomic. #3239
2665
2666Security
2667 * Fix a side channel vulnerability in modular exponentiation that could
2668 reveal an RSA private key used in a secure enclave. Noticed by Sangho Lee,
2669 Ming-Wei Shih, Prasun Gera, Taesoo Kim and Hyesoon Kim (Georgia Institute
2670 of Technology); and Marcus Peinado (Microsoft Research). Reported by Raoul
2671 Strackx (Fortanix) in #3394.
2672 * Fix side channel in mbedtls_ecp_check_pub_priv() and
2673 mbedtls_pk_parse_key() / mbedtls_pk_parse_keyfile() (when loading a
2674 private key that didn't include the uncompressed public key), as well as
2675 mbedtls_ecp_mul() / mbedtls_ecp_mul_restartable() when called with a NULL
2676 f_rng argument. An attacker with access to precise enough timing and
2677 memory access information (typically an untrusted operating system
2678 attacking a secure enclave) could fully recover the ECC private key.
2679 Found and reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Brumley.
2680 * Fix issue in Lucky 13 counter-measure that could make it ineffective when
2681 hardware accelerators were used (using one of the MBEDTLS_SHAxxx_ALT
2682 macros). This would cause the original Lucky 13 attack to be possible in
2683 those configurations, allowing an active network attacker to recover
2684 plaintext after repeated timing measurements under some conditions.
2685 Reported and fix suggested by Luc Perneel in #3246.
2686
2687Bugfix
2688 * Fix the Visual Studio Release x64 build configuration for mbedtls itself.
2689 Completes a previous fix in Mbed TLS 2.19 that only fixed the build for
2690 the example programs. Reported in #1430 and fix contributed by irwir.
2691 * Fix undefined behavior in X.509 certificate parsing if the
2692 pathLenConstraint basic constraint value is equal to INT_MAX.
2693 The actual effect with almost every compiler is the intended
2694 behavior, so this is unlikely to be exploitable anywhere. #3192
2695 * Fix issue with a detected HW accelerated record error not being exposed
2696 due to shadowed variable. Contributed by Sander Visser in #3310.
2697 * Avoid NULL pointer dereferencing if mbedtls_ssl_free() is called with a
2698 NULL pointer argument. Contributed by Sander Visser in #3312.
2699 * Fix potential linker errors on dual world platforms by inlining
2700 mbedtls_gcc_group_to_psa(). This allows the pk.c module to link separately
2701 from psa_crypto.c. Fixes #3300.
2702 * Remove dead code in X.509 certificate parsing. Contributed by irwir in
2703 #2855.
2704 * Include asn1.h in error.c. Fixes #3328 reported by David Hu.
2705 * Fix potential memory leaks in ecp_randomize_jac() and ecp_randomize_mxz()
2706 when PRNG function fails. Contributed by Jonas Lejeune in #3318.
2707 * Remove unused macros from MSVC projects. Reported in #3297 and fix
2708 submitted in #3333 by irwir.
2709 * Add additional bounds checks in ssl_write_client_hello() preventing
2710 output buffer overflow if the configuration declared a buffer that was
2711 too small.
2712 * Set _POSIX_C_SOURCE to at least 200112L in C99 code. Reported in #3420 and
2713 fix submitted in #3421 by Nia Alarie.
2714 * Fix building library/net_sockets.c and the ssl_mail_client program on
2715 NetBSD. Contributed by Nia Alarie in #3422.
2716 * Fix false positive uninitialised variable reported by cpp-check.
2717 Contributed by Sander Visser in #3311.
2718 * Update iv and len context pointers manually when reallocating buffers
2719 using the MBEDTLS_SSL_VARIABLE_BUFFER_LENGTH feature. This caused issues
2720 when receiving a connection with CID, when these fields were shifted
2721 in ssl_parse_record_header().
2722
2723Changes
2724 * Fix warnings about signedness issues in format strings. The build is now
2725 clean of -Wformat-signedness warnings. Contributed by Kenneth Soerensen
2726 in #3153.
2727 * Fix minor performance issue in operations on Curve25519 caused by using a
2728 suboptimal modular reduction in one place. Found and fix contributed by
2729 Aurelien Jarno in #3209.
2730 * Combine identical cases in switch statements in md.c. Contributed
2731 by irwir in #3208.
2732 * Simplify a bounds check in ssl_write_certificate_request(). Contributed
2733 by irwir in #3150.
2734 * Unify the example programs termination to call mbedtls_exit() instead of
2735 using a return command. This has been done to enable customization of the
2736 behavior in bare metal environments.
2737 * Fix mbedtls_x509_dn_gets to escape non-ASCII characters as "?".
2738 Contributed by Koh M. Nakagawa in #3326.
2739 * Use FindPython3 when cmake version >= 3.15.0
2740 * Abort the ClientHello writing function as soon as some extension doesn't
2741 fit into the record buffer. Previously, such extensions were silently
2742 dropped. As a consequence, the TLS handshake now fails when the output
2743 buffer is not large enough to hold the ClientHello.
David Horstmann5b93d972024-10-31 15:36:05 +00002744 * The unit tests now rely on header files in framework/tests/include/test and source
2745 files in framework/tests/src. When building with make or cmake, the files in
2746 framework/tests/src are compiled and the resulting object linked into each test
Janos Follath19590102020-06-26 11:26:02 +01002747 executable.
2748 * The ECP module, enabled by `MBEDTLS_ECP_C`, now depends on
2749 `MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_C` or `MBEDTLS_HMAC_DRBG_C` for some side-channel
2750 coutermeasures. If side channels are not a concern, this dependency can
2751 be avoided by enabling the new option `MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_INTERNAL_RNG`.
2752 * Align MSVC error flag with GCC and Clang. Contributed by Carlos Gomes
2753 Martinho. #3147
2754 * Remove superfluous assignment in mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate(). Reported
2755 in #3182 and fix submitted by irwir. #3217
2756 * Fix typo in XTS tests. Reported and fix submitted by Kxuan. #3319

2762 SSL module for hardware acceleration of individual records.
Andrzej Kurek90c6e842020-04-03 05:25:29 -04002763 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len() in favour of
2764 mbedtls_ssl_get_output_max_frag_len() and
2765 mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() to be more precise about which max

2769 * Fix issue in DTLS handling of new associations with the same parameters
2770 (RFC 6347 section 4.2.8): an attacker able to send forged UDP packets to
2771 the server could cause it to drop established associations with
2772 legitimate clients, resulting in a Denial of Service. This could only
2773 happen when MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE was enabled in config.h
2774 (which it is by default).
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnarda4aa89b2020-03-25 12:41:29 +01002775 * Fix side channel in ECC code that allowed an adversary with access to
2776 precise enough timing and memory access information (typically an
2777 untrusted operating system attacking a secure enclave) to fully recover
2778 an ECDSA private key. Found and reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya,
2779 Billy Brumley and Cesar Pereida Garcia. CVE-2020-10932
Gilles Peskine1c668132019-09-27 14:07:00 +02002780 * Fix a potentially remotely exploitable buffer overread in a

2798 is back directly in the present repository.
Andrzej Kurek90c6e842020-04-03 05:25:29 -04002799 * Split mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len() into
2800 mbedtls_ssl_get_output_max_frag_len() and
2801 mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() to ensure that a sufficient input

2817 operation. The overread only happens with cryptographically low
2818 probability (of the order of 2^-n where n is the bitsize of the curve)
2819 unless the RNG is broken, and could result in information disclosure or
2820 denial of service (application crash or extra resource consumption).
2821 Found by Auke Zeilstra and Peter Schwabe, using static analysis.

2836 existing code is that elliptic curve key types no longer encode the
2837 exact curve: a psa_ecc_curve_t or psa_key_type_t value only encodes
2838 a curve family and the key size determines the exact curve (for example,
2839 PSA_ECC_CURVE_SECP_R1 with 256 bits is P256R1). ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#330

2851 keys. Found by Catena cyber using oss-fuzz (issue 20467).
2852 * Fix a bug in mbedtls_pk_parse_key() that would cause it to

Gilles Peskine6a4c3402020-01-22 18:28:24 +01002857Default behavior changes
Gilles Peskine8c7d2c22020-01-22 19:02:09 +01002858 * The initial seeding of a CTR_DRBG instance makes a second call to the
Gilles Peskine6a4c3402020-01-22 18:28:24 +01002859 entropy function to obtain entropy for a nonce if the entropy size is less
2860 than 3/2 times the key size. In case you want to disable the extra call to
Gilles Peskine8c7d2c22020-01-22 19:02:09 +01002861 grab entropy, you can call mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len() to force the
Gilles Peskine6a4c3402020-01-22 18:28:24 +01002862 nonce length to 0.
2863
2864Security
Gilles Peskine8c7d2c22020-01-22 19:02:09 +01002865 * Enforce that mbedtls_entropy_func() gathers a total of
2866 MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_BLOCK_SIZE bytes or more from strong sources. In the
Gilles Peskine6a4c3402020-01-22 18:28:24 +01002867 default configuration, on a platform with a single entropy source, the
2868 entropy module formerly only grabbed 32 bytes, which is good enough for
2869 security if the source is genuinely strong, but less than the expected 64
2870 bytes (size of the entropy accumulator).
Gilles Peskinee3b285d2020-01-27 14:01:42 +01002871 * Zeroize local variables in mbedtls_internal_aes_encrypt() and
2872 mbedtls_internal_aes_decrypt() before exiting the function. The value of
2873 these variables can be used to recover the last round key. To follow best
2874 practice and to limit the impact of buffer overread vulnerabilities (like
2875 Heartbleed) we need to zeroize them before exiting the function.
2876 Issue reported by Tuba Yavuz, Farhaan Fowze, Ken (Yihang) Bai,
2877 Grant Hernandez, and Kevin Butler (University of Florida) and
2878 Dave Tian (Purdue University).
2879 * Fix side channel vulnerability in ECDSA. Our bignum implementation is not
2880 constant time/constant trace, so side channel attacks can retrieve the
2881 blinded value, factor it (as it is smaller than RSA keys and not guaranteed
2882 to have only large prime factors), and then, by brute force, recover the
2883 key. Reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Brumley.
2884 * Fix side channel vulnerability in ECDSA key generation. Obtaining precise
2885 timings on the comparison in the key generation enabled the attacker to
2886 learn leading bits of the ephemeral key used during ECDSA signatures and to
2887 recover the private key. Reported by Jeremy Dubeuf.
2888 * Catch failure of AES functions in mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random(). Uncaught
2889 failures could happen with alternative implementations of AES. Bug
2890 reported and fix proposed by Johan Uppman Bruce and Christoffer Lauri,
2891 Sectra.

2894 * Key derivation inputs in the PSA API can now either come from a key object
2895 or from a buffer regardless of the step type.
2896 * The CTR_DRBG module can grab a nonce from the entropy source during the
2897 initial seeding. The default nonce length is chosen based on the key size
2898 to achieve the security strength defined by NIST SP 800-90A. You can

Gilles Peskine8c7d2c22020-01-22 19:02:09 +01002923 * mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_entropy_len() and
2924 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_set_entropy_len() now work if you call them before
2925 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed() or mbedtls_hmac_drbg_seed().

Gilles Peskine6a4c3402020-01-22 18:28:24 +01002929 structures, which was exposed only in an internal header.
Gilles Peskine8c7d2c22020-01-22 19:02:09 +01002930 * psa_close_key(0) and psa_destroy_key(0) now succeed (doing nothing, as
Gilles Peskine6a4c3402020-01-22 18:28:24 +01002931 before).
2932 * Variables containing error codes are now initialized to an error code
2933 rather than success, so that coding mistakes or memory corruption tends to
2934 cause functions to return this error code rather than a success. There are
2935 no known instances where this changes the behavior of the library: this is

Jaeden Amero4197f0e2019-09-06 14:40:10 +01002964 * Fix a missing error detection in ECJPAKE. This could have caused a
2965 predictable shared secret if a hardware accelerator failed and the other
2966 side of the key exchange had a similar bug.
Gilles Peskine52157832018-08-11 00:51:04 +02002967 * When writing a private EC key, use a constant size for the private
2968 value, as specified in RFC 5915. Previously, the value was written
2969 as an ASN.1 INTEGER, which caused the size of the key to leak
2970 about 1 bit of information on average and could cause the value to be
2971 1 byte too large for the output buffer.
Janos Follath12fff152019-01-04 16:18:46 +00002972 * The deterministic ECDSA calculation reused the scheme's HMAC-DRBG to
2973 implement blinding. Because of this for the same key and message the same
2974 blinding value was generated. This reduced the effectiveness of the
2975 countermeasure and leaked information about the private key through side
2976 channels. Reported by Jack Lloyd.

Jaeden Amero49fcbea2019-08-30 15:50:45 +01003004 * The functions mbedtls_ecp_curve_list() and mbedtls_ecp_grp_id_list() now
3005 list all curves for which at least one of ECDH or ECDSA is supported, not
3006 just curves for which both are supported. Call mbedtls_ecdsa_can_do() or

3008 supported.
Jaeden Amero4197f0e2019-09-06 14:40:10 +01003009 * The new function mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det_ext() is similar to

Andres Amaya Garciace049512019-02-20 10:00:03 +00003093 * Add the Wi-SUN Field Area Network (FAN) device extended key usage.
3094 * Add the oid certificate policy x509 extension.
Andres Amaya Garcia4a512282018-10-30 18:21:41 +00003095 * It is now possible to perform RSA PKCS v1.5 signatures with RIPEMD-160 digest.

3097 * Extend the MBEDTLS_SSL_EXPORT_KEYS to export the handshake randbytes,
Hanno Beckerac4172c2019-01-31 09:27:04 +00003098 and the used tls-prf.
3099 * Add public API for tls-prf function, according to requested enum.
3100 * Add support for parsing otherName entries in the Subject Alternative Name
3101 X.509 certificate extension, specifically type hardware module name,
Hanno Beckere31505d2019-02-07 13:42:45 +00003102 as defined in RFC 4108 section 5.
3103 * Add support for parsing certificate policies extension, as defined in
3104 RFC 5280 section 4.2.1.4. Currently, only the "Any Policy" policy is
3105 supported.
3106 * List all SAN types in the subject_alt_names field of the certificate.
3107 Resolves #459.
3108 * Add support for draft-05 of the Connection ID extension, as specified
Paul Bakker5121ce52009-01-03 21:22:43 +00003109 in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-dtls-connection-id-05.
3110 The Connection ID extension allows to keep DTLS connections beyond the
Paul Bakker99ed6782011-01-05 14:48:42 +00003111 lifetime of the underlying transport by adding a connection identifier
3112 to the DTLS record header. This identifier can be used to associated an
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05003113 incoming record with the correct connection data even after the peer has
3114 changed its IP or port. The feature is enabled at compile-time by setting
Hanno Beckerac4172c2019-01-31 09:27:04 +00003115 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID (disabled by default), and at run-time
3116 through the new APIs mbedtls_ssl_conf_cid() and mbedtls_ssl_set_cid().

Paul Bakker5121ce52009-01-03 21:22:43 +00003124Bugfix
3125 * Fix private key DER output in the key_app_writer example. File contents
3126 were shifted by one byte, creating an invalid ASN.1 tag. Fixed by
3127 Christian Walther in #2239.
3128 * Fix potential memory leak in X.509 self test. Found and fixed by
3129 Junhwan Park, #2106.
3130 * Reduce stack usage of hkdf tests. Fixes #2195.
3131 * Fix 1-byte buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_write_string() when
3132 used with negative inputs. Found by Guido Vranken in #2404. Credit to
3133 OSS-Fuzz.
3134 * Fix bugs in the AEAD test suite which would be exposed by ciphers which
3135 either used both encrypt and decrypt key schedules, or which perform padding.
3136 GCM and CCM were not affected. Fixed by Jack Lloyd.
3137 * Fix incorrect default port number in ssl_mail_client example's usage.
3138 Found and fixed by irwir. #2337
3139 * Add psa_util.h to test/cpp_dummy_build to fix build_default_make_gcc_and_cxx.
3140 Fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin). #2579
3141 * Add missing parentheses around parameters in the definition of the
Paul Bakker99ed6782011-01-05 14:48:42 +00003142 public macro MBEDTLS_X509_ID_FLAG. This could lead to invalid evaluation
3143 in case operators binding less strongly than subtraction were used
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05003144 for the parameter.
3145 * Add a check for MBEDTLS_X509_CRL_PARSE_C in ssl_server2, guarding the crl
Hanno Beckerac4172c2019-01-31 09:27:04 +00003146 sni entry parameter. Reported by inestlerode in #560.

3150
Paul Bakker5121ce52009-01-03 21:22:43 +00003151Changes
3152 * Server's RSA certificate in certs.c was SHA-1 signed. In the default
3153 mbedTLS configuration only SHA-2 signed certificates are accepted.
3154 This certificate is used in the demo server programs, which lead the
3155 client programs to fail at the peer's certificate verification
3156 due to an unacceptable hash signature. The certificate has been
3157 updated to one that is SHA-256 signed. Fix contributed by
3158 Illya Gerasymchuk.
3159 * Return from various debugging routines immediately if the
3160 provided SSL context is unset.
3161 * Remove dead code from bignum.c in the default configuration.
3162 Found by Coverity, reported and fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin). Fixes #2309.

3170Features
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05003171 * Add a new X.509 API call `mbedtls_x509_parse_der_nocopy()`
3172 which allows copy-less parsing of DER encoded X.509 CRTs,
Hanno Beckerac4172c2019-01-31 09:27:04 +00003173 at the cost of additional lifetime constraints on the input
3174 buffer, but at the benefit of reduced RAM consumption.
3175 * Add a new function mbedtls_asn1_write_named_bitstring() to write ASN.1
3176 named bitstring in DER as required by RFC 5280 Appendix B.
3177 * Add MBEDTLS_REMOVE_3DES_CIPHERSUITES to allow removing 3DES ciphersuites
3178 from the default list (enabled by default). See
3179 https://sweet32.info/SWEET32_CCS16.pdf.
3180
3181API Changes
3182 * Add a new X.509 API call `mbedtls_x509_parse_der_nocopy()`.
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05003183 See the Features section for more information.
3184 * Allow to opt in to the removal the API mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()
3185 for the benefit of saving RAM, by disabling the new compile-time
3186 option MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE (enabled by default for
3187 API stability). Disabling this option makes mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()
3188 always return NULL, and removes the peer_cert field from the
3189 mbedtls_ssl_session structure which otherwise stores the peer's
Gilles Peskineccf8ba02018-11-07 22:39:16 +01003190 certificate.
3191
3192Security
3193 * Make mbedtls_ecdh_get_params return an error if the second key
3194 belongs to a different group from the first. Before, if an application
3195 passed keys that belonged to different group, the first key's data was
3196 interpreted according to the second group, which could lead to either
3197 an error or a meaningless output from mbedtls_ecdh_get_params. In the
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05003198 latter case, this could expose at most 5 bits of the private key.
3199
3200Bugfix
3201 * Fix a compilation issue with mbedtls_ecp_restart_ctx not being defined
3202 when MBEDTLS_ECP_ALT is defined. Reported by jwhui. Fixes #2242.
3203 * Run the AD too long test only if MBEDTLS_CCM_ALT is not defined.
3204 Raised as a comment in #1996.
3205 * Reduce the stack consumption of mbedtls_mpi_fill_random() which could
3206 previously lead to a stack overflow on constrained targets.
3207 * Add `MBEDTLS_SELF_TEST` for the mbedtls_self_test functions
3208 in the header files, which missed the precompilation check. #971
3209 * Fix returning the value 1 when mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey failed.
3210 * Remove a duplicate #include in a sample program. Fixed by Masashi Honma #2326.
Hanno Becker1b6d2b22019-01-10 09:22:16 +00003211 * Remove the mbedtls namespacing from the header file, to fix a "file not found"
3212 build error. Fixed by Haijun Gu #2319.
Ron Eldor8a6917d2018-11-27 10:33:38 +02003213 * Fix signed-to-unsigned integer conversion warning
3214 in X.509 module. Fixes #2212.
Peter Kolbus995d5c12019-02-03 08:41:41 -06003215 * Reduce stack usage of `mpi_write_hlp()` by eliminating recursion.
3216 Fixes #2190.
Andres Amaya Garciad588ff72018-09-26 10:59:20 +01003217 * Fix false failure in all.sh when backup files exist in include/mbedtls
3218 (e.g. config.h.bak). Fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin) #2407.
3219 * Ensure that unused bits are zero when writing ASN.1 bitstrings when using
3220 mbedtls_asn1_write_bitstring().
3221 * Fix issue when writing the named bitstrings in KeyUsage and NsCertType
3222 extensions in CSRs and CRTs that caused these bitstrings to not be encoded
Simon Butcher41f95192018-12-01 18:42:47 +00003223 correctly as trailing zeroes were not accounted for as unused bits in the
3224 leading content octet. Fixes #1610.

3226Changes
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05003227 * Reduce RAM consumption during session renegotiation by not storing
3228 the peer CRT chain and session ticket twice.
3229 * Include configuration file in all header files that use configuration,
3230 instead of relying on other header files that they include.
3231 Inserted as an enhancement for #1371
Andrzej Kurek8764ccc2019-02-05 04:57:13 -05003232 * Add support for alternative CSR headers, as used by Microsoft and defined
3233 in RFC 7468. Found by Michael Ernst. Fixes #767.
3234 * Correct many misspellings. Fixed by MisterDA #2371.
3235 * Provide an abstraction of vsnprintf to allow alternative implementations
3236 for platforms that don't provide it. Based on contributions by Joris Aerts
3237 and Nathaniel Wesley Filardo.
3238 * Fix clobber list in MIPS assembly for large integer multiplication.
3239 Previously, this could lead to functionally incorrect assembly being
3240 produced by some optimizing compilers, showing up as failures in
k-stachowiakc5a4a132019-02-05 09:11:58 +01003241 e.g. RSA or ECC signature operations. Reported in #1722, fix suggested
3242 by Aurelien Jarno and submitted by Jeffrey Martin.
Andres Amaya Garciaaabe52f2018-10-16 22:18:53 +01003243 * Reduce the complexity of the timing tests. They were assuming more than the
3244 underlying OS actually guarantees.
k-stachowiakcddbd012019-02-19 12:40:34 +01003245 * Fix configuration queries in ssl-opt.h. #2030
3246 * Ensure that ssl-opt.h can be run in OS X. #2029
Andres Amaya Garciaf8dffb32019-02-19 20:14:00 +00003247 * Re-enable certain interoperability tests in ssl-opt.sh which had previously
3248 been disabled for lack of a sufficiently recent version of GnuTLS on the CI.
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05003249 * Ciphersuites based on 3DES now have the lowest priority by default when
3250 they are enabled.
3251

3253
3254Features
3255 * Add a new config.h option of MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS that enables validation
3256 of parameters in the API. This allows detection of obvious misuses of the
3257 API, such as passing NULL pointers. The API of existing functions hasn't
3258 changed, but requirements on parameters have been made more explicit in
3259 the documentation. See the corresponding API documentation for each
3260 function to see for which parameter values it is defined. This feature is
3261 disabled by default. See its API documentation in config.h for additional
3262 steps you have to take when enabling it.
3263
3264API Changes
3265 * The following functions in the random generator modules have been
3266 deprecated and replaced as shown below. The new functions change
3267 the return type from void to int to allow returning error codes when
3268 using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT for the underlying AES or message digest
3269 primitive. Fixes #1798.
3270 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update() -> mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret()
3271 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update() -> mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update_ret()
3272 * Extend ECDH interface to enable alternative implementations.
3273 * Deprecate error codes of the form MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx_INVALID_KEY_LENGTH for
3274 ARIA, CAMELLIA and Blowfish. These error codes will be replaced by
3275 the more generic per-module error codes MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx_BAD_INPUT_DATA.
3276 * Additional parameter validation checks have been added for the following
3277 modules - AES, ARIA, Blowfish, CAMELLIA, CCM, GCM, DHM, ECP, ECDSA, ECDH,
3278 ECJPAKE, SHA, Chacha20 and Poly1305, cipher, pk, RSA, and MPI.
3279 Where modules have had parameter validation added, existing parameter
3280 checks may have changed. Some modules, such as Chacha20 had existing
3281 parameter validation whereas other modules had little. This has now been
3282 changed so that the same level of validation is present in all modules, and
3283 that it is now optional with the MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS flag which by default
3284 is off. That means that checks which were previously present by default
3285 will no longer be.
3286
3287New deprecations
3288 * Deprecate mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update
3289 in favor of functions that can return an error code.
3290
3291Bugfix
3292 * Fix for Clang, which was reporting a warning for the bignum.c inline
3293 assembly for AMD64 targets creating string literals greater than those
3294 permitted by the ISO C99 standard. Found by Aaron Jones. Fixes #482.
3295 * Fix runtime error in `mbedtls_platform_entropy_poll()` when run
3296 through qemu user emulation. Reported and fix suggested by randombit
3297 in #1212. Fixes #1212.
3298 * Fix an unsafe bounds check when restoring an SSL session from a ticket.
3299 This could lead to a buffer overflow, but only in case ticket authentication
3300 was broken. Reported and fix suggested by Guido Vranken in #659.
3301 * Add explicit integer to enumeration type casts to example program
3302 programs/pkey/gen_key which previously led to compilation failure
3303 on some toolchains. Reported by phoenixmcallister. Fixes #2170.
3304 * Fix double initialization of ECC hardware that made some accelerators
3305 hang.
3306 * Clarify documentation of mbedtls_ssl_set_own_cert() regarding the absence
Andrzej Kurek8764ccc2019-02-05 04:57:13 -05003307 of check for certificate/key matching. Reported by Attila Molnar, #507.

3329Security
3330 * Fix timing variations and memory access variations in RSA PKCS#1 v1.5
3331 decryption that could lead to a Bleichenbacher-style padding oracle
3332 attack. In TLS, this affects servers that accept ciphersuites based on
3333 RSA decryption (i.e. ciphersuites whose name contains RSA but not
3334 (EC)DH(E)). Discovered by Eyal Ronen (Weizmann Institute), Robert Gillham
3335 (University of Adelaide), Daniel Genkin (University of Michigan),
3336 Adi Shamir (Weizmann Institute), David Wong (NCC Group), and Yuval Yarom
3337 (University of Adelaide, Data61). The attack is described in more detail
3338 in the paper available here: http://cat.eyalro.net/cat.pdf CVE-2018-19608
3339 * In mbedtls_mpi_write_binary(), don't leak the exact size of the number
3340 via branching and memory access patterns. An attacker who could submit
3341 a plaintext for RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 decryption but only observe the timing
3342 of the decryption and not its result could nonetheless decrypt RSA
3343 plaintexts and forge RSA signatures. Other asymmetric algorithms may
3344 have been similarly vulnerable. Reported by Eyal Ronen, Robert Gillham,
3345 Daniel Genkin, Adi Shamir, David Wong and Yuval Yarom.
3346 * Wipe sensitive buffers on the stack in the CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG
3347 modules.
3348
3349API Changes
3350 * The new functions mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret() and
3351 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update_ret() are similar to mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update()
3352 and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update() respectively, but the new functions
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05003353 report errors whereas the old functions return void. We recommend that
Simon Butcherc1b98922018-11-19 18:31:40 +00003354 applications use the new functions.

Simon Butcher681edee2018-11-07 16:25:38 +00003359 * Fix overly strict DN comparison when looking for CRLs belonging to a
3360 particular CA. This previously led to ignoring CRLs when the CRL's issuer
3361 name and the CA's subject name differed in their string encoding (e.g.,
3362 one using PrintableString and the other UTF8String) or in the choice of
Hanno Beckerdc71ef82018-10-08 13:51:38 +01003363 upper and lower case. Reported by Henrik Andersson of Bosch GmbH in issue
Simon Butcherb35e59d2018-11-19 15:49:26 +00003364 #1784.
Hanno Beckerdc71ef82018-10-08 13:51:38 +01003365 * Fix a flawed bounds check in server PSK hint parsing. In case the
Simon Butcherb35e59d2018-11-19 15:49:26 +00003366 incoming message buffer was placed within the first 64KiB of address
3367 space and a PSK-(EC)DHE ciphersuite was used, this allowed an attacker
Janos Follathe0e7ddf2018-09-06 10:40:04 +01003368 to trigger a memory access up to 64KiB beyond the incoming message buffer,
3369 potentially leading to an application crash or information disclosure.
3370 * Fix mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() to use more rounds of probabilistic testing. The
3371 previous settings for the number of rounds made it practical for an
Simon Butcher681edee2018-11-07 16:25:38 +00003372 adversary to construct non-primes that would be erroneously accepted as
3373 primes with high probability. This does not have an impact on the
Janos Follathe0e7ddf2018-09-06 10:40:04 +01003374 security of TLS, but can matter in other contexts with numbers chosen
3375 potentially by an adversary that should be prime and can be validated.
3376 For example, the number of rounds was enough to securely generate RSA key
3377 pairs or Diffie-Hellman parameters, but was insufficient to validate
3378 Diffie-Hellman parameters properly.

Simon Butcherb35e59d2018-11-19 15:49:26 +00003382Features
3383 * Add support for temporarily suspending expensive ECC computations after
3384 some configurable amount of operations. This is intended to be used in
3385 constrained, single-threaded systems where ECC is time consuming and can
3386 block other operations until they complete. This is disabled by default,
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardf0bbd7e2018-10-15 13:22:41 +02003387 but can be enabled by MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE at compile time and
3388 configured by mbedtls_ecp_set_max_ops() at runtime. It applies to the new
3389 xxx_restartable functions in ECP, ECDSA, PK and X.509 (CRL not supported
3390 yet), and to existing functions in ECDH and SSL (currently only
Simon Butcher4a865ef2018-10-28 18:00:51 +00003391 implemented client-side, for ECDHE-ECDSA ciphersuites in TLS 1.2,
3392 including client authentication).
3393 * Add support for Arm CPU DSP extensions to accelerate asymmetric key
3394 operations. On CPUs where the extensions are available, they can accelerate
Simon Butcherb35e59d2018-11-19 15:49:26 +00003395 MPI multiplications used in ECC and RSA cryptography. Contributed by
3396 Aurelien Jarno.
3397 * Extend RSASSA-PSS signature to allow a smaller salt size. Previously, PSS
3398 signature always used a salt with the same length as the hash, and returned
3399 an error if this was not possible. Now the salt size may be up to two bytes

3401 that comply with FIPS 186-4, including SHA-512 with a 1024-bit key.
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard823c9152018-07-02 12:05:49 +02003402 * Add support for 128-bit keys in CTR_DRBG. Note that using keys shorter
Simon Butchere51d4b32018-11-09 19:57:53 +00003403 than 256 bits limits the security of generated material to 128 bits.
Simon Butcher2ab14bb2018-11-09 20:09:33 +00003404
3405API Changes
3406 * Add a common error code of `MBEDTLS_ERR_PLATFORM_FEATURE_UNSUPPORTED` for
3407 a feature that is not supported by underlying alternative
Simon Butchere51d4b32018-11-09 19:57:53 +00003408 implementations implementing cryptographic primitives. This is useful for
Ron Eldor6aa9fb42018-10-04 14:32:05 +03003409 hardware accelerators that don't implement all options or features.
Simon Butcher2ab14bb2018-11-09 20:09:33 +00003410
3411New deprecations
3412 * All module specific errors following the form
3413 MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE that indicate a feature is not
Simon Butcher681edee2018-11-07 16:25:38 +00003414 supported are deprecated and are now replaced by the new equivalent
Simon Butcher2ab14bb2018-11-09 20:09:33 +00003415 platform error.
3416 * All module specific generic hardware acceleration errors following the
Janos Follathe0e7ddf2018-09-06 10:40:04 +01003417 form MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED that are deprecated and are replaced
3418 by the equivalent plaform error.
3419 * Deprecate the function mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() in favor of
Ron Eldor6aa9fb42018-10-04 14:32:05 +03003420 mbedtls_mpi_is_prime_ext() which allows specifying the number of

Simon Butcher2b5be1e2018-10-30 15:55:10 +00003422
3423Bugfix
3424 * Fix wrong order of freeing in programs/ssl/ssl_server2 example
3425 application leading to a memory leak in case both
Simon Butcherc86993e2018-09-27 09:48:54 +01003426 MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C and MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BACKTRACE are set.
3427 Fixes #2069.
Simon Butcher1afc7672018-09-27 11:35:19 +01003428 * Fix a bug in the update function for SSL ticket keys which previously
3429 invalidated keys of a lifetime of less than a 1s. Fixes #1968.
Hanno Beckerf24c3362018-10-17 14:53:05 +01003430 * Fix failure in hmac_drbg in the benchmark sample application, when
3431 MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is defined. Found by TrinityTonic, #1095
3432 * Fix a bug in the record decryption routine ssl_decrypt_buf()
Hanno Becker617a3212018-10-05 09:51:36 +01003433 which lead to accepting properly authenticated but improperly
3434 padded records in case of CBC ciphersuites using Encrypt-then-MAC.
Simon Butcher681edee2018-11-07 16:25:38 +00003435 * Fix memory leak and freeing without initialization in the example
3436 program programs/x509/cert_write. Fixes #1422.
Hanno Becker7e1f3be2018-10-15 13:20:28 +01003437 * Ignore IV in mbedtls_cipher_set_iv() when the cipher mode is
3438 MBEDTLS_MODE_ECB. Found by ezdevelop. Fixes #1091.
3439 * Zeroize memory used for buffering or reassembling handshake messages
3440 after use.
Hanno Beckerf143a782018-11-06 17:43:16 +00003441 * Use `mbedtls_platform_zeroize()` instead of `memset()` for zeroization
3442 of sensitive data in the example programs aescrypt2 and crypt_and_hash.
3443 * Change the default string format used for various X.509 DN attributes to
Simon Butcher681edee2018-11-07 16:25:38 +00003444 UTF8String. Previously, the use of the PrintableString format led to
3445 wildcards and non-ASCII characters being unusable in some DN attributes.
Hanno Beckere4f965d2018-10-11 10:54:45 +01003446 Reported by raprepo in #1860 and by kevinpt in #468. Fix contributed by
3447 Thomas-Dee.
3448 * Fix compilation failure for configurations which use compile time
3449 replacements of standard calloc/free functions through the macros
Simon Butcherc86993e2018-09-27 09:48:54 +01003450 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_CALLOC_MACRO and MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_FREE_MACRO.

Gilles Peskine604ccc62018-07-10 15:55:52 +02003454 * Removed support for Yotta as a build tool.
3455 * Add tests for session resumption in DTLS.
3456 * Close a test gap in (D)TLS between the client side and the server side:
Simon Butcherddc9e262018-10-27 18:27:41 +01003457 test the handling of large packets and small packets on the client side
3458 in the same way as on the server side.
Simon Butcher404aa652018-10-01 14:44:22 +01003459 * Change the dtls_client and dtls_server samples to work by default over
3460 IPv6 and optionally by a build option over IPv4.
3461 * Change the use of Windows threading to use Microsoft Visual C++ runtime
Simon Butcher681edee2018-11-07 16:25:38 +00003462 calls, rather than Win32 API calls directly. This is necessary to avoid
3463 conflict with C runtime usage. Found and fixed by irwir.
3464 * Remember the string format of X.509 DN attributes when replicating
3465 X.509 DNs. Previously, DN attributes were always written in their default
3466 string format (mostly PrintableString), which could lead to CRTs being
3467 created which used PrintableStrings in the issuer field even though the
3468 signing CA used UTF8Strings in its subject field; while X.509 compliant,
3469 such CRTs were rejected in some applications, e.g. some versions of
Hanno Becker0bb204c2018-10-30 10:08:33 +00003470 Firefox, curl and GnuTLS. Reported in #1033 by Moschn. Fix contributed by
3471 Thomas-Dee.
Janos Follath33329372018-09-06 10:41:33 +01003472 * Improve documentation of mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result().
3473 Fixes #517 reported by github-monoculture.
3474 * Add MBEDTLS_MPI_GEN_PRIME_FLAG_LOW_ERR flag to mbedtls_mpi_gen_prime() and
Simon Butcherc86993e2018-09-27 09:48:54 +01003475 use it to reduce error probability in RSA key generation to levels mandated

Andres Amaya Garciaa7b9f152018-08-16 21:46:35 +01003481 * Extend the platform module with an abstraction mbedtls_platform_gmtime_r()
Hanno Beckeracef2922018-09-05 16:19:07 +01003482 whose implementation should behave as a thread-safe version of gmtime().
3483 This allows users to configure such an implementation at compile time when
3484 the target system cannot be deduced automatically, by setting the option
Andres Amaya Garciaa7b9f152018-08-16 21:46:35 +01003485 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_GMTIME_R_ALT. At this stage Mbed TLS is only able to

3500Features
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardf2f1d402018-08-21 09:53:22 +02003501 * Add support for fragmentation of outgoing DTLS handshake messages. This
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard6e7aaca2018-08-20 10:37:23 +02003502 is controlled by the maximum fragment length as set locally or negotiated

3504 mbedtls_ssl_set_mtu().
3505 * Add support for auto-adjustment of MTU to a safe value during the
Hanno Beckerd87a59c2018-08-14 16:34:55 +01003506 handshake when flights do not get through (RFC 6347, section 4.1.1.1,
3507 last paragraph).
Hanno Becker02f6f5a2018-08-28 12:54:27 +01003508 * Add support for packing multiple records within a single datagram,
Hanno Beckeraa249372018-08-22 10:27:13 +01003509 enabled by default.
3510 * Add support for buffering out-of-order handshake messages in DTLS.
3511 The maximum amount of RAM used for this can be controlled by the

3519Bugfix
Gilles Peskine104d8582018-06-27 10:57:33 +02003520 * Fix a potential memory leak in mbedtls_ssl_setup() function. An allocation
3521 failure in the function could lead to other buffers being leaked.
Jaeden Amerof48163a2018-08-10 10:49:10 +01003522 * Fixes an issue with MBEDTLS_CHACHAPOLY_C which would not compile if
3523 MBEDTLS_ARC4_C and MBEDTLS_CIPHER_NULL_CIPHER weren't also defined. #1890
Ron Eldor3f38cf72018-06-21 16:40:24 +03003524 * Fix a memory leak in ecp_mul_comb() if ecp_precompute_comb() fails.
Ron Eldor84e62f82018-06-28 11:09:09 +03003525 Fix contributed by Espressif Systems.
3526 * Add ecc extensions only if an ecc based ciphersuite is used.
Simon Butcherb5afb972018-08-31 11:59:56 +01003527 This improves compliance to RFC 4492, and as a result, solves
3528 interoperability issues with BouncyCastle. Raised by milenamil in #1157.

3532 and mbedtls_ssl_get_record_expansion() after a session reset. Fixes #1941.
3533 * Fix a bug that caused SSL/TLS clients to incorrectly abort the handshake
3534 with TLS versions 1.1 and earlier when the server requested authentication
3535 without providing a list of CAs. This was due to an overly strict bounds
Hanno Becker44814642018-08-03 09:53:48 +01003536 check in parsing the CertificateRequest message,
3537 introduced in Mbed TLS 2.12.0. Fixes #1954.

3561Security
3562 * Fix a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based on CBC and using SHA-384,
3563 in (D)TLS 1.0 to 1.2, that allowed an active network attacker to
3564 partially recover the plaintext of messages under some conditions by
3565 exploiting timing measurements. With DTLS, the attacker could perform
3566 this recovery by sending many messages in the same connection. With TLS
3567 or if mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only
3568 worked if the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly
3569 sent over connections manipulated by the attacker. Connections using GCM
3570 or CCM instead of CBC, using hash sizes other than SHA-384, or using
3571 Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected. The vulnerability was
3572 caused by a miscalculation (for SHA-384) in a countermeasure to the
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard1cc1fb02018-06-28 12:10:27 +02003573 original Lucky 13 attack. Found by Kenny Paterson, Eyal Ronen and Adi

Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard830ce112018-07-11 18:27:08 +02003576 1.2, that allowed a local attacker, able to execute code on the local
Antonin Décimo36e89b52019-01-23 15:24:37 +01003577 machine as well as manipulate network packets, to partially recover the
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard830ce112018-07-11 18:27:08 +02003578 plaintext of messages under some conditions by using a cache attack
3579 targeting an internal MD/SHA buffer. With TLS or if
3580 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only worked if
3581 the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly sent over
3582 connections manipulated by the attacker. Connections using GCM or CCM
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard7b420302018-06-28 10:38:35 +02003583 instead of CBC or using Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected.
3584 Found by Kenny Paterson, Eyal Ronen and Adi Shamir.
3585 * Add a counter-measure against a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based
3586 on CBC, in (D)TLS 1.0 to 1.2, that allowed a local attacker, able to
3587 execute code on the local machine as well as manipulate network packets,
3588 to partially recover the plaintext of messages under some conditions (see
3589 previous entry) by using a cache attack targeting the SSL input record

3633 * Fix decryption for zero length messages (which contain all padding) when a
3634 CBC based ciphersuite is used together with Encrypt-then-MAC. Previously,
3635 such a message was wrongly reported as an invalid record and therefore lead
3636 to the connection being terminated. Seen most often with OpenSSL using

3693API Changes
3694 * Extend the platform module with a util component that contains
3695 functionality shared by multiple Mbed TLS modules. At this stage
3696 platform_util.h (and its associated platform_util.c) only contain
3697 mbedtls_platform_zeroize(), which is a critical function from a security
3698 point of view. mbedtls_platform_zeroize() needs to be regularly tested
3699 against compilers to ensure that calls to it are not removed from the
3700 output binary as part of redundant code elimination optimizations.
Hanno Becker2bd57572018-03-28 14:52:35 +01003701 Therefore, mbedtls_platform_zeroize() is moved to the platform module to
Simon Butcherd72700a2018-06-01 19:11:55 +01003702 facilitate testing and maintenance.

3716 * Fix an issue in the X.509 module which could lead to a buffer overread
3717 during certificate validation. Additionally, the issue could also lead to
3718 unnecessary callback checks being made or to some validation checks to be
3719 omitted. The overread could be triggered remotely, while the other issues
3720 would require a non DER-compliant certificate to be correctly signed by a
3721 trusted CA, or a trusted CA with a non DER-compliant certificate. Found by
3722 luocm. Fixes #825.
3723 * Fix the buffer length assertion in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
3724 function which led to an arbitrary overread of the message buffer. The
3725 overreads could be caused by receiving a malformed message at the point
3726 where an optional signature algorithms list is expected when the signature
Andrzej Kurekb7a18c02018-04-25 05:25:30 -04003727 algorithms section is too short. In builds with debug output, the overread
Simon Butcherb03120a2018-04-30 16:40:25 +01003728 data is output with the debug data.
3729 * Fix a client-side bug in the validation of the server's ciphersuite choice
3730 which could potentially lead to the client accepting a ciphersuite it didn't
3731 offer or a ciphersuite that cannot be used with the TLS or DTLS version
Gilles Peskine5bdb6712018-03-22 21:34:15 +01003732 chosen by the server. This could lead to corruption of internal data

Jethro Beekmancb122372018-04-11 08:40:38 -07003767 * Fix parsing of PKCS#8 encoded Elliptic Curve keys. Previously Mbed TLS was
Simon Butcherb03120a2018-04-30 16:40:25 +01003768 unable to parse keys which had only the optional parameters field of the
3769 ECPrivateKey structure. Found by Jethro Beekman, fixed in #1379.
3770 * Return the plaintext data more quickly on unpadded CBC decryption, as
Gilles Peskineb9e86962018-04-04 09:20:59 +02003771 stated in the mbedtls_cipher_update() documentation. Contributed by

3775 * Restrict usage of error code MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_READ to situations
3776 where data needs to be fetched from the underlying transport in order
3777 to make progress. Previously, this error code was also occasionally
Simon Butcherb03120a2018-04-30 16:40:25 +01003778 returned when unexpected messages were being discarded, ignoring that
3779 further messages could potentially already be pending to be processed
Gilles Peskinef2b76cd2018-04-19 17:41:39 +02003780 in the internal buffers; these cases led to deadlocks when event-driven
3781 I/O was used. Found and reported by Hubert Mis in #772.
3782 * Fix buffer length assertions in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
Andrzej Kurek5462e022018-04-20 07:58:53 -04003783 function which leads to a potential one byte overread of the message

3786 decompression.
3787 * Fix the soversion of libmbedcrypto to match the soversion of the
3788 maintained 2.7 branch. The soversion was increased in Mbed TLS
Gilles Peskine08185402018-03-22 21:50:48 +01003789 version 2.7.1 to reflect breaking changes in that release, but the

3801 Budai.
3802 * Harden the function mbedtls_ssl_config_free() against misuse, so that it
3803 doesn't leak memory if the user doesn't use mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk() and
Andres Amaya Garciacb47a792018-03-27 21:19:50 +01003804 instead incorrectly manipulates the configuration structure directly.
3805 Found and fix submitted by junyeonLEE in #1220.
3806 * Provide an empty implementation of mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() when
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardfff308e2018-03-28 11:13:05 +02003807 MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C is not enabled. This allows the use of PBKDF2

3831 * Declare functions in header files even when an alternative implementation
3832 of the corresponding module is activated by defining the corresponding
3833 MBEDTLS_XXX_ALT macro. This means that alternative implementations do
Andrzej Kurekaca09c72018-04-13 05:18:08 -04003834 not need to copy the declarations, and ensures that they will have the

Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00003922 * Fix a heap corruption issue in the implementation of the truncated HMAC
3923 extension. When the truncated HMAC extension is enabled and CBC is used,
3924 sending a malicious application packet could be used to selectively corrupt
3925 6 bytes on the peer's heap, which could potentially lead to crash or remote
3926 code execution. The issue could be triggered remotely from either side in
3927 both TLS and DTLS. CVE-2018-0488
3928 * Fix a buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the hash was too large
3929 for the key size, which could potentially lead to crash or remote code
3930 execution. Found by Seth Terashima, Qualcomm Product Security Initiative,
3931 Qualcomm Technologies Inc. CVE-2018-0487
3932 * Fix buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the unmasked data is all
3933 zeros.
3934 * Fix an unsafe bounds check in ssl_parse_client_psk_identity() when adding
3935 64 KiB to the address of the SSL buffer and causing a wrap around.
3936 * Fix a potential heap buffer overflow in mbedtls_ssl_write(). When the (by
Hanno Becker930025d2017-09-18 16:07:19 +01003937 default enabled) maximum fragment length extension is disabled in the
3938 config and the application data buffer passed to mbedtls_ssl_write
3939 is larger than the internal message buffer (16384 bytes by default), the
3940 latter overflows. The exploitability of this issue depends on whether the
3941 application layer can be forced into sending such large packets. The issue
3942 was independently reported by Tim Nordell via e-mail and by Florin Petriuc
Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00003943 and sjorsdewit on GitHub. Fix proposed by Florin Petriuc in #1022.
3944 Fixes #707.
3945 * Add a provision to prevent compiler optimizations breaking the time
3946 constancy of mbedtls_ssl_safer_memcmp().
Andres Amaya Garcia364051f2017-07-05 15:40:17 +01003947 * Ensure that buffers are cleared after use if they contain sensitive data.
Andres Amaya Garciad48ba2b2017-07-06 17:17:43 +01003948 Changes were introduced in multiple places in the library.
Ron Eldor31162e42017-09-05 15:34:35 +03003949 * Set PEM buffer to zero before freeing it, to avoid decoded private keys
3950 being leaked to memory after release.
Janos Follathb174c842017-09-20 16:26:04 +01003951 * Fix dhm_check_range() failing to detect trivial subgroups and potentially
3952 leaking 1 bit of the private key. Reported by prashantkspatil.
Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00003953 * Make mbedtls_mpi_read_binary() constant-time with respect to the input
3954 data. Previously, trailing zero bytes were detected and omitted for the
3955 sake of saving memory, but potentially leading to slight timing
3956 differences. Reported by Marco Macchetti, Kudelski Group.
Hanno Becker509fef72017-10-19 10:10:18 +01003957 * Wipe stack buffer temporarily holding EC private exponent
3958 after keypair generation.
Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00003959 * Fix a potential heap buffer over-read in ALPN extension parsing
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard239987f2018-01-09 10:43:43 +01003960 (server-side). Could result in application crash, but only if an ALPN
3961 name larger than 16 bytes had been configured on the server.
Hanno Becker0cd5b942017-10-13 17:17:28 +01003962 * Change default choice of DHE parameters from untrustworthy RFC 5114
3963 to RFC 3526 containing parameters generated in a nothing-up-my-sleeve
3964 manner.

3977 configuration flags MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT, MBEDTLS_ECDSA_VERIFY_ALT and
3978 MBEDTLS_ECDSDA_GENKEY_AT in config.h.
Ron Eldor2981a0a2017-09-24 15:41:09 +03003979 The following functions from the ECDSA module can be replaced
Ron Eldor314adb62017-10-10 18:28:25 +03003980 with alternative implementation:
Ron Eldor2981a0a2017-09-24 15:41:09 +03003981 mbedtls_ecdsa_sign(), mbedtls_ecdsa_verify() and mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey().
Hanno Becker087d5ad2018-01-24 16:06:25 +00003982 * Add support for alternative implementation of ECDH, controlled by the
3983 new configuration flags MBEDTLS_ECDH_COMPUTE_SHARED_ALT and
Ron Eldora84c1cb2017-10-10 19:04:27 +03003984 MBEDTLS_ECDH_GEN_PUBLIC_ALT in config.h.
Ron Eldor8b766212017-09-24 15:44:56 +03003985 The following functions from the ECDH module can be replaced
3986 with an alternative implementation:
3987 mbedtls_ecdh_gen_public() and mbedtls_ecdh_compute_shared().
Hanno Becker087d5ad2018-01-24 16:06:25 +00003988 * Add support for alternative implementation of ECJPAKE, controlled by
3989 the new configuration flag MBEDTLS_ECJPAKE_ALT.

Hanno Beckera47023e2017-12-22 17:08:03 +00003992API Changes
3993 * Extend RSA interface by multiple functions allowing structure-
3994 independent setup and export of RSA contexts. Most notably,
Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00003995 mbedtls_rsa_import() and mbedtls_rsa_complete() are introduced for setting
Hanno Beckera47023e2017-12-22 17:08:03 +00003996 up RSA contexts from partial key material and having them completed to the
3997 needs of the implementation automatically. This allows to setup private RSA
3998 contexts from keys consisting of N,D,E only, even if P,Q are needed for the
3999 purpose or CRT and/or blinding.
4000 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_RSA_ALT can be used to define alternative
4001 implementations of the RSA interface declared in rsa.h.
Gilles Peskine0a969102018-01-22 14:55:20 +01004002 * The following functions in the message digest modules (MD2, MD4, MD5,
4003 SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) have been deprecated and replaced as shown below.
4004 The new functions change the return type from void to int to allow
4005 returning error codes when using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT.
4006 mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts_ret()
4007 mbedtls_<MODULE>_update() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_update_ret()
4008 mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish_ret()
Andres Amaya Garciaf01a6442017-07-03 16:00:59 +01004009 mbedtls_<MODULE>_process() -> mbedtls_internal_<MODULE>_process()

Ron Eldor73a38172017-10-03 15:58:26 +03004011New deprecations
4012 * Deprecate usage of RSA primitives with non-matching key-type
Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00004013 (e.g. signing with a public key).
Andres Amaya Garciaf569f702017-06-28 09:25:10 +01004014 * Direct manipulation of structure fields of RSA contexts is deprecated.
4015 Users are advised to use the extended RSA API instead.
Jaeden Amero005239e2018-01-25 14:47:39 +00004016 * Deprecate usage of message digest functions that return void
4017 (mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts, mbedtls_<MODULE>_update,
4018 mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish and mbedtls_<MODULE>_process where <MODULE> is
4019 any of MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) in favor of functions
4020 that can return an error code.
Hanno Becker0cd5b942017-10-13 17:17:28 +01004021 * Deprecate untrustworthy DHE parameters from RFC 5114. Superseded by
4022 parameters from RFC 3526 or the newly added parameters from RFC 7919.
4023 * Deprecate hex string DHE constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P etc.
4024 Supserseded by binary encoded constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P_BIN
4025 etc.
Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00004026 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param() for setting default DHE parameters
4027 from hex strings. Superseded by mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param_bin()
Hanno Becker0cd5b942017-10-13 17:17:28 +01004028 accepting DHM parameters in binary form, matching the new constants.

Ron Eldor73a38172017-10-03 15:58:26 +03004036 * Parse signature algorithm extension when renegotiating. Previously,
4037 renegotiated handshakes would only accept signatures using SHA-1
4038 regardless of the peer's preferences, or fail if SHA-1 was disabled.
Andres Amaya Garcia735b37e2016-11-21 15:38:02 +00004039 * Fix leap year calculation in x509_date_is_valid() to ensure that invalid

Gilles Peskine50984002018-01-17 08:01:37 +01004109 * Tighten the RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification code and remove the
4110 undeclared dependency of the RSA module on the ASN.1 module.
Gilles Peskine0a969102018-01-22 14:55:20 +01004111 * Update all internal usage of deprecated message digest functions to the
4112 new ones with return codes. In particular, this modifies the
4113 mbedtls_md_info_t structure. Propagate errors from these functions
4114 everywhere except some locations in the ssl_tls.c module.
Jaeden Amero791e08a2018-01-26 12:04:12 +00004115 * Improve CTR_DRBG error handling by propagating underlying AES errors.
Gilles Peskine7ecab3d2018-01-26 17:56:38 +01004116 * Add MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED error codes for all cryptography
4117 modules where the software implementation can be replaced by a hardware
4118 implementation.
