Mbed TLS ChangeLog (Sorted per branch, date)
= Mbed TLS 3.6.2 branch released 2024-10-14
Security
* Fix a buffer underrun in mbedtls_pk_write_key_der() when
called on an opaque key, MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled,
and the output buffer is smaller than the actual output.
Fix a related buffer underrun in mbedtls_pk_write_key_pem()
when called on an opaque RSA key, MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled
and MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE is smaller than needed for a 4096-bit RSA key.
CVE-2024-49195
= Mbed TLS 3.6.1 branch released 2024-08-30
API changes
* The experimental functions psa_generate_key_ext() and
psa_key_derivation_output_key_ext() are no longer declared when compiling
in C++. This resolves a build failure under C++ compilers that do not
support flexible array members (a C99 feature not adopted by C++).
Fixes #9020.
Default behavior changes
* In a PSA-client-only build (i.e. MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CLIENT &&
!MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C), do not automatically enable local crypto when the
corresponding PSA mechanism is enabled, since the server provides the
crypto. Fixes #9126.
* A TLS handshake may now call psa_crypto_init() if TLS 1.3 is enabled.
This can happen even if TLS 1.3 is offered but eventually not selected
in the protocol version negotiation.
* By default, the handling of TLS 1.3 tickets by the Mbed TLS client is now
disabled at runtime. Applications that were using TLS 1.3 tickets
signalled by MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_RECEIVED_NEW_SESSION_TICKET return values now
need to enable the handling of TLS 1.3 tickets through the new
mbedtls_ssl_conf_tls13_enable_signal_new_session_tickets() API.
New deprecations
* The experimental functions psa_generate_key_ext() and
psa_key_derivation_output_key_ext() are deprecated in favor of
psa_generate_key_custom() and psa_key_derivation_output_key_custom().
They have almost exactly the same interface, but the variable-length
data is passed in a separate parameter instead of a flexible array
member.
* The following cryptographic mechanisms are planned to be removed
in Mbed TLS 4.0:
- DES (including 3DES).
- PKCS#1v1.5 encryption/decryption (RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5).
(OAEP, PSS, and PKCS#1v1.5 signature are staying.)
- Finite-field Diffie-Hellman with custom groups.
(RFC 7919 groups remain supported.)
- Elliptic curves of size 225 bits or less.
* The following cipher suites are planned to be removed from (D)TLS 1.2
in Mbed TLS 4.0:
- TLS_RSA_* (including TLS_RSA_PSK_*), i.e. cipher suites using
RSA decryption.
(RSA signatures, i.e. TLS_ECDHE_RSA_*, are staying.)
- TLS_ECDH_*, i.e. cipher suites using static ECDH.
(Ephemeral ECDH, i.e. TLS_ECDHE_*, is staying.)
- TLS_DHE_*, i.e. cipher suites using finite-field Diffie-Hellman.
(Ephemeral ECDH, i.e. TLS_ECDHE_*, is staying.)
- TLS_*CBC*, i.e. all cipher suites using CBC.
* The following low-level application interfaces are planned to be removed
from the public API in Mbed TLS 4.0:
- Hashes: hkdf.h, md5.h, ripemd160.h, sha1.h, sha3.h, sha256.h, sha512.h;
- Random generation: ctr_drbg.h, hmac_drbg.h, entropy.h;
- Ciphers and modes: aes.h, aria.h, camellia.h, chacha20.h, chachapoly.h,
cipher.h, cmac.h, gcm.h, poly1305.h;
- Private key encryption mechanisms: pkcs5.h, pkcs12.h.
- Asymmetric cryptography: bignum.h, dhm.h, ecdh.h, ecdsa.h, ecjpake.h,
ecp.h, rsa.h.
The cryptographic mechanisms remain present, but they will only be
accessible via the PSA API (psa_xxx functions introduced gradually
starting with Mbed TLS 2.17) and, where relevant, `pk.h`.
For guidance on migrating application code to the PSA API, please consult
the PSA transition guide (docs/psa-transition.md).
* The following integration interfaces are planned to be removed
in Mbed TLS 4.0:
- MBEDTLS_xxx_ALT replacement of cryptographic modules and functions.
Use PSA transparent drivers instead.
- MBEDTLS_PK_RSA_ALT and MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C.
Use PSA opaque drivers instead.
Features
* When the new compilation option MBEDTLS_PSA_KEY_STORE_DYNAMIC is enabled,
the number of volatile PSA keys is virtually unlimited, at the expense
of increased code size. This option is off by default, but enabled in
the default mbedtls_config.h. Fixes #9216.
Security
* Unlike previously documented, enabling MBEDTLS_PSA_HMAC_DRBG_MD_TYPE does
not cause the PSA subsystem to use HMAC_DRBG: it uses HMAC_DRBG only when
MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG and MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_C are disabled.
CVE-2024-45157
* Fix a stack buffer overflow in mbedtls_ecdsa_der_to_raw() and
mbedtls_ecdsa_raw_to_der() when the bits parameter is larger than the
largest supported curve. In some configurations with PSA disabled,
all values of bits are affected. This never happens in internal library
calls, but can affect applications that call these functions directly.
CVE-2024-45158
* With TLS 1.3, when a server enables optional authentication of the
client, if the client-provided certificate does not have appropriate values
in keyUsage or extKeyUsage extensions, then the return value of
mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result() would incorrectly have the
MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_KEY_USAGE and MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_EXT_KEY_USAGE bits
clear. As a result, an attacker that had a certificate valid for uses other
than TLS client authentication could be able to use it for TLS client
authentication anyway. Only TLS 1.3 servers were affected, and only with
optional authentication (required would abort the handshake with a fatal
alert).
CVE-2024-45159
Bugfix
* Fix TLS 1.3 client build and runtime when support for session tickets is
disabled (MBEDTLS_SSL_SESSION_TICKETS configuration option). Fixes #6395.
* Fix compilation error when memcpy() is a function-like macros. Fixes #8994.
* MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C and MBEDTLS_ASN1_WRITE_C are now automatically enabled
as soon as MBEDTLS_RSA_C is enabled. Fixes #9041.
* Fix undefined behaviour (incrementing a NULL pointer by zero length) when
passing in zero length additional data to multipart AEAD.
* Fix rare concurrent access bug where attempting to operate on a
non-existent key while concurrently creating a new key could potentially
corrupt the key store.
* Fix error handling when creating a key in a dynamic secure element
(feature enabled by MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C). In a low memory condition,
the creation could return PSA_SUCCESS but using or destroying the key
would not work. Fixes #8537.
* Fix issue of redefinition warning messages for _GNU_SOURCE in
entropy_poll.c and sha_256.c. There was a build warning during
building for linux platform.
Resolves #9026
* Fix a compilation warning in pk.c when PSA is enabled and RSA is disabled.
* Fix the build when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is enabled and the built-in
CMAC is enabled, but no built-in unauthenticated cipher is enabled.
Fixes #9209.
* Fix redefinition warnings when SECP192R1 and/or SECP192K1 are disabled.
Fixes #9029.
* Fix psa_cipher_decrypt() with CCM* rejecting messages less than 3 bytes
long. Credit to Cryptofuzz. Fixes #9314.
* Fix interference between PSA volatile keys and built-in keys
when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_BUILTIN_KEYS is enabled and
MBEDTLS_PSA_KEY_SLOT_COUNT is more than 4096.
* Document and enforce the limitation of mbedtls_psa_register_se_key()
to persistent keys. Resolves #9253.
* Fix Clang compilation error when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled
but MBEDTLS_DHM_C is disabled. Reported by Michael Schuster in #9188.
* Fix server mode only build when MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_C is enabled but
MBEDTLS_SSL_CLI_C is disabled. Reported by M-Bab on GitHub in #9186.
* When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C was disabled and MBEDTLS_ECDSA_C enabled,
some code was defining 0-size arrays, resulting in compilation errors.
Fixed by disabling the offending code in configurations without PSA
Crypto, where it never worked. Fixes #9311.
* Fix unintended performance regression when using short RSA public keys.
Fixes #9232.
* Fixes an issue where some TLS 1.2 clients could not connect to an
Mbed TLS 3.6.0 server, due to incorrect handling of
legacy_compression_methods in the ClientHello.
Fixes #8995, #9243.
* Fix TLS connections failing when the handshake selects TLS 1.3
in an application that does not call psa_crypto_init().
Fixes #9072.
* Fix TLS connection failure in applications using an Mbed TLS client in
the default configuration connecting to a TLS 1.3 server sending tickets.
See the documentation of
mbedtls_ssl_conf_tls13_enable_signal_new_session_tickets() for more
information.
Fixes #8749.
* Fix a memory leak that could occur when failing to process an RSA
key through some PSA functions due to low memory conditions.
* Fixed a regression introduced in 3.6.0 where the CA callback set with
mbedtls_ssl_conf_ca_cb() would stop working when connections were
upgraded to TLS 1.3. Fixed by adding support for the CA callback with TLS
1.3.
* Fixed a regression introduced in 3.6.0 where clients that relied on
optional/none authentication mode, by calling mbedtls_ssl_conf_authmode()
with MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL or MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_NONE, would stop
working when connections were upgraded to TLS 1.3. Fixed by adding
support for optional/none with TLS 1.3 as well. Note that the TLS 1.3
standard makes server authentication mandatory; users are advised not to
use authmode none, and to carefully check the results when using optional
mode.
* Fixed a regression introduced in 3.6.0 where context-specific certificate
verify callbacks, set with mbedtls_ssl_set_verify() as opposed to
mbedtls_ssl_conf_verify(), would stop working when connections were
upgraded to TLS 1.3. Fixed by adding support for context-specific verify
callback in TLS 1.3.
Changes
* Warn if mbedtls/check_config.h is included manually, as this can
lead to spurious errors. Error if a *adjust*.h header is included
manually, as this can lead to silently inconsistent configurations,
potentially resulting in buffer overflows.
When migrating from Mbed TLS 2.x, if you had a custom config.h that
included check_config.h, remove this inclusion from the Mbed TLS 3.x
configuration file (renamed to mbedtls_config.h). This change was made
in Mbed TLS 3.0, but was not announced in a changelog entry at the time.
= Mbed TLS 3.6.0 branch released 2024-03-28
API changes
* Remove `tls13_` in mbedtls_ssl_tls13_conf_early_data() and
mbedtls_ssl_tls13_conf_max_early_data_size() API names. Early data
feature may not be TLS 1.3 specific in the future. Fixes #6909.
Default behavior changes
* psa_import_key() now only accepts RSA keys in the PSA standard formats.
The undocumented ability to import other formats (PKCS#8, SubjectPublicKey,
PEM) accepted by the pkparse module has been removed. Applications that
need these formats can call mbedtls_pk_parse_{public,}key() followed by
mbedtls_pk_import_into_psa().
Requirement changes
* Drop support for Visual Studio 2013 and 2015, and Arm Compiler 5.
New deprecations
* Rename the MBEDTLS_SHA256_USE_A64_CRYPTO_xxx config options to
MBEDTLS_SHA256_USE_ARMV8_A_CRYPTO_xxx. The old names may still
be used, but are deprecated.
* In the PSA API, domain parameters are no longer used for anything.
They are deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the
library.
* mbedtls_ecp_write_key() is deprecated in favor of
mbedtls_ecp_write_key_ext().
Removals
* In the PSA API, the experimental way to encode the public exponent of
an RSA key as a domain parameter is no longer supported. Use
psa_generate_key_ext() instead.
* Temporary function mbedtls_pk_wrap_as_opaque() is removed. To mimic the
same behavior mbedtls_pk_get_psa_attributes() and
mbedtls_pk_import_into_psa() can be used to import a PK key into PSA,
while mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque() can be used to wrap a PSA key into a opaque
PK context.
Features
* Added an example program showing how to hash with the PSA API.
* Support Armv8-A Crypto Extension acceleration for SHA-256
when compiling for Thumb (T32) or 32-bit Arm (A32).
* AES-NI is now supported in Windows builds with clang and clang-cl.
Resolves #8372.
* Add new mbedtls_x509_csr_parse_der_with_ext_cb() routine which allows
parsing unsupported certificate extensions via user provided callback.
* Enable the new option MBEDTLS_BLOCK_CIPHER_NO_DECRYPT to omit
the decryption direction of block ciphers (AES, ARIA, Camellia).
This affects both the low-level modules and the high-level APIs
(the cipher and PSA interfaces). This option is incompatible with modes
that use the decryption direction (ECB in PSA, CBC, XTS, KW) and with DES.
* Support use of Armv8-A Cryptographic Extensions for hardware acclerated
AES when compiling for Thumb (T32) or 32-bit Arm (A32).
* If a cipher or AEAD mechanism has a PSA driver, you can now build the
library without the corresponding built-in implementation. Generally
speaking that requires both the key type and algorithm to be accelerated
or they'll both be built in. However, for CCM and GCM the built-in
implementation is able to take advantage of a driver that only
accelerates the key type (that is, the block cipher primitive). See
docs/driver-only-builds.md for full details and current limitations.
* The CTR_DRBG module will now use AES from a PSA driver if MBEDTLS_AES_C is
disabled. This requires PSA_WANT_ALG_ECB_NO_PADDING in addition to
MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C and PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_AES.
* Fewer modules depend on MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C, making it possible to save code
size by disabling it in more circumstances. In particular, the CCM and
GCM modules no longer depend on MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C. Also,
MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO can now be enabled without MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C if all
unauthenticated (non-AEAD) ciphers are disabled, or if they're all
fully provided by drivers. See docs/driver-only-builds.md for full
details and current limitations; in particular, NIST_KW and PKCS5/PKCS12
decryption still unconditionally depend on MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C.
* Add support for record size limit extension as defined by RFC 8449
and configured with MBEDTLS_SSL_RECORD_SIZE_LIMIT.
Application data sent and received will be fragmented according to
Record size limits negotiated during handshake.
* Improve performance of AES-GCM, AES-CTR and CTR-DRBG when
hardware accelerated AES is not present (around 13-23% on 64-bit Arm).
* Add functions mbedtls_ecc_group_to_psa() and mbedtls_ecc_group_from_psa()
to convert between Mbed TLS and PSA curve identifiers.
* Add utility functions to manipulate mbedtls_ecp_keypair objects, filling
gaps made by making its fields private: mbedtls_ecp_set_public_key(),
mbedtls_ecp_write_public_key(), mbedtls_ecp_keypair_calc_public(),
mbedtls_ecp_keypair_get_group_id(). Fixes #5017, #5441, #8367, #8652.
* Add functions mbedtls_md_psa_alg_from_type() and
mbedtls_md_type_from_psa_alg() to convert between mbedtls_md_type_t and
psa_algorithm_t.
* Add partial platform support for z/OS.
* Improve performance for gcc (versions older than 9.3.0) and IAR.
* Add functions mbedtls_ecdsa_raw_to_der() and mbedtls_ecdsa_der_to_raw() to
convert ECDSA signatures between raw and DER (ASN.1) formats.
* Add support for using AES-CBC 128, 192, and 256 bit schemes
with PKCS#5 PBES2. Keys encrypted this way can now be parsed by PK parse.
* The new function mbedtls_rsa_get_bitlen() returns the length of the modulus
in bits, i.e. the key size for an RSA key.
* Add pc files for pkg-config, e.g.:
pkg-config --cflags --libs (mbedtls|mbedcrypto|mbedx509)
* Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_session_get_ticket_creation_time()) to access
`mbedtls_ssl_session.ticket_creation_time`.
* The new functions mbedtls_pk_get_psa_attributes() and
mbedtls_pk_import_into_psa() provide a uniform way to create a PSA
key from a PK key.
* The benchmark program now reports times for both ephemeral and static
ECDH in all ECDH configurations.
* Add support for 8-bit GCM tables for Shoup's algorithm to speedup GCM
operations when hardware accelerated AES is not present. Improves
performance by around 30% on 64-bit Intel; 125% on Armv7-M.
* The new function psa_generate_key_ext() allows generating an RSA
key pair with a custom public exponent.
* The new function mbedtls_ecp_write_key_ext() is similar to
mbedtls_ecp_write_key(), but can be used without separately calculating
the output length.
* Add new accessor to expose the private group id member of
`mbedtls_ecdh_context` structure.
* Add new accessor to expose the `MBEDTLS_PRIVATE(ca_istrue)` member of
`mbedtls_x509_crt` structure. This requires setting
the MBEDTLS_X509_EXT_BASIC_CONSTRAINTS bit in the certificate's
ext_types field.
* mbedtls_psa_get_random() is always available as soon as
MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CLIENT is enabled at build time and psa_crypto_init() is
called at runtime. This together with MBEDTLS_PSA_RANDOM_STATE can be
used as random number generator function (f_rng) and context (p_rng) in
legacy functions.
* The new functions mbedtls_pk_copy_from_psa() and
mbedtls_pk_copy_public_from_psa() provide ways to set up a PK context
with the same content as a PSA key.
* Add new accessors to expose the private session-id,
session-id length, and ciphersuite-id members of
`mbedtls_ssl_session` structure.
Add new accessor to expose the ciphersuite-id of
`mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_t` structure.Design ref: #8529
* Mbed TLS now supports the writing and reading of TLS 1.3 early data (see
docs/tls13-early-data.md). The support enablement is controlled at build
time by the MBEDTLS_SSL_EARLY_DATA configuration option and at runtime by
the mbedtls_ssl_conf_early_data() API (by default disabled in both cases).
* Add protection for multithreaded access to the PSA keystore and protection
for multithreaded access to the the PSA global state, including
concurrently calling psa_crypto_init() when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C and
MBEDTLS_THREADING_PTHREAD are defined. See
docs/architecture/psa-thread-safety/psa-thread-safety.md for more details.
Resolves issues #3263 and #7945.
Security
* Fix a stack buffer overread (less than 256 bytes) when parsing a TLS 1.3
ClientHello in a TLS 1.3 server supporting some PSK key exchange mode. A
malicious client could cause information disclosure or a denial of service.
Fixes CVE-2024-30166.
* Passing buffers that are stored in untrusted memory as arguments
to PSA functions is now secure by default.
The PSA core now protects against modification of inputs or exposure
of intermediate outputs during operations. This is currently implemented
by copying buffers.
This feature increases code size and memory usage. If buffers passed to
PSA functions are owned exclusively by the PSA core for the duration of
the function call (i.e. no buffer parameters are in shared memory),
copying may be disabled by setting MBEDTLS_PSA_ASSUME_EXCLUSIVE_BUFFERS.
Note that setting this option will cause input-output buffer overlap to
be only partially supported (#3266).
Fixes CVE-2024-28960.
* Restore the maximum TLS version to be negotiated to the configured one
when an SSL context is reset with the mbedtls_ssl_session_reset() API.
An attacker was able to prevent an Mbed TLS server from establishing any
TLS 1.3 connection potentially resulting in a Denial of Service or forced
version downgrade from TLS 1.3 to TLS 1.2. Fixes #8654 reported by hey3e.
Fixes CVE-2024-28755.
* When negotiating TLS version on server side, do not fall back to the
TLS 1.2 implementation of the protocol if it is disabled.
- If the TLS 1.2 implementation was disabled at build time, a TLS 1.2
client could put the TLS 1.3-only server in an infinite loop processing
a TLS 1.2 ClientHello, resulting in a denial of service. Reported by
Matthias Mucha and Thomas Blattmann, SICK AG.
- If the TLS 1.2 implementation was disabled at runtime, a TLS 1.2 client
was able to successfully establish a TLS 1.2 connection with the server.
Reported by alluettiv on GitHub.
Fixes CVE-2024-28836.
Bugfix
* Fix the build with CMake when Everest or P256-m is enabled through
a user configuration file or the compiler command line. Fixes #8165.
* Fix compilation error in C++ programs when MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C is
disabled.
* Fix possible NULL dereference issue in X509 cert_req program if an entry
in the san parameter is not separated by a colon.
* Fix possible NULL dereference issue in X509 cert_write program if an entry
in the san parameter is not separated by a colon.
* Fix an inconsistency between implementations and usages of `__cpuid`,
which mainly causes failures when building Windows target using
mingw or clang. Fixes #8334 & #8332.
* Fix build failure in conda-forge. Fixes #8422.
* Fix parsing of CSRs with critical extensions.
* Switch to milliseconds as the unit for ticket creation and reception time
instead of seconds. That avoids rounding errors when computing the age of
tickets compared to peer using a millisecond clock (observed with GnuTLS).
Fixes #6623.
* Fix TLS server accepting TLS 1.2 handshake while TLS 1.2
is disabled at runtime. Fixes #8593.
* Remove accidental introduction of RSA signature algorithms
in TLS Suite B Profile. Fixes #8221.
* Fix unsupported PSA asymmetric encryption and decryption
(psa_asymmetric_[en|de]crypt) with opaque keys.
Resolves #8461.
* On Linux on ARMv8, fix a build error with SHA-256 and SHA-512
acceleration detection when the libc headers do not define the
corresponding constant. Reported by valord577.
* Correct initial capacities for key derivation algorithms:TLS12_PRF,
TLS12_PSK_TO_MS, PBKDF2-HMAC, PBKDF2-CMAC
* Fix mbedtls_pk_get_bitlen() for RSA keys whose size is not a
multiple of 8. Fixes #868.
* Avoid segmentation fault caused by releasing not initialized
entropy resource in gen_key example. Fixes #8809.
* mbedtls_pem_read_buffer() now performs a check on the padding data of
decrypted keys and it rejects invalid ones.
* Fix mbedtls_pk_sign(), mbedtls_pk_verify(), mbedtls_pk_decrypt() and
mbedtls_pk_encrypt() on non-opaque RSA keys to honor the padding mode in
the RSA context. Before, if MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO was enabled and the
RSA context was configured for PKCS#1 v2.1 (PSS/OAEP), the sign/verify
functions performed a PKCS#1 v1.5 signature instead and the
encrypt/decrypt functions returned an error. Fixes #8824.
* Fix missing bitflags in SSL session serialization headers. Their absence
allowed SSL sessions saved in one configuration to be loaded in a
different, incompatible configuration.
* In TLS 1.3 clients, fix an interoperability problem due to the client
generating a new random after a HelloRetryRequest. Fixes #8669.
* Fix the restoration of the ALPN when loading serialized connection with
the mbedtls_ssl_context_load() API.
* Fix NULL pointer dereference in mbedtls_pk_verify_ext() when called using
an opaque RSA context and specifying MBEDTLS_PK_RSASSA_PSS as key type.
* Fix RSA opaque keys always using PKCS1 v1.5 algorithms instead of the
primary algorithm of the wrapped PSA key.
* Fully support arbitrary overlap between inputs and outputs of PSA
functions. Note that overlap is still only partially supported when
MBEDTLS_PSA_ASSUME_EXCLUSIVE_BUFFERS is set (#3266).
Changes
* Use heap memory to allocate DER encoded public/private key.
This reduces stack usage significantly for writing a public/private
key to a PEM string.
* PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM and PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG are no more synonyms and
they are now treated separately. This means that they should be
individually enabled in order to enable respective support; also the
corresponding MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL symbol should be defined in case
acceleration is required.
* Moved declaration of functions mbedtls_ecc_group_to_psa and
mbedtls_ecc_group_of_psa from psa/crypto_extra.h to mbedtls/psa_util.h
* mbedtls_pk_sign_ext() is now always available, not just when
PSA (MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C) is enabled.
* Extended PSA Crypto configurations options for FFDH by making it possible
to select only some of the parameters / groups, with the macros
PSA_WANT_DH_RFC7919_XXXX. You now need to defined the corresponding macro
for each size you want to support. Also, if you have an FFDH accelerator,
you'll need to define the appropriate MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL macros to signal
support for these domain parameters.
* RSA support in PSA no longer auto-enables the pkparse and pkwrite modules,
saving code size when those are not otherwise enabled.
* mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod and code that uses it, notably RSA and DHM operations,
have changed their speed/memory compromise as part of a proactive security
improvement. The new default value of MBEDTLS_MPI_WINDOW_SIZE roughly
preserves the current speed, at the expense of increasing memory
consumption.
* Rename directory containing Visual Studio files from visualc/VS2013 to
visualc/VS2017.
* The TLS 1.3 protocol is now enabled in the default configuration.
= Mbed TLS 3.5.2 branch released 2024-01-26
Security
* Fix a timing side channel in private key RSA operations. This side channel
could be sufficient for an attacker to recover the plaintext. A local
attacker or a remote attacker who is close to the victim on the network
might have precise enough timing measurements to exploit this. It requires
the attacker to send a large number of messages for decryption. For
details, see "Everlasting ROBOT: the Marvin Attack", Hubert Kario. Reported
by Hubert Kario, Red Hat.
* Fix a failure to validate input when writing x509 extensions lengths which
could result in an integer overflow, causing a zero-length buffer to be
allocated to hold the extension. The extension would then be copied into
the buffer, causing a heap buffer overflow.
= Mbed TLS 3.5.1 branch released 2023-11-06
Changes
* Mbed TLS is now released under a dual Apache-2.0 OR GPL-2.0-or-later
license. Users may choose which license they take the code under.
Bugfix
* Fix accidental omission of MBEDTLS_TARGET_PREFIX in 3rdparty modules
in CMake.
= Mbed TLS 3.5.0 branch released 2023-10-05
API changes
* Mbed TLS 3.4 introduced support for omitting the built-in implementation
of ECDSA and/or EC J-PAKE when those are provided by a driver. However,
there was a flaw in the logic checking if the built-in implementation, in
that it failed to check if all the relevant curves were supported by the
accelerator. As a result, it was possible to declare no curves as
accelerated and still have the built-in implementation compiled out.
Starting with this release, it is necessary to declare which curves are
accelerated (using MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_ECC_xxx macros), or they will be
considered not accelerated, and the built-in implementation of the curves
and any algorithm possible using them will be included in the build.
* Add new millisecond time type `mbedtls_ms_time_t` and `mbedtls_ms_time()`
function, needed for TLS 1.3 ticket lifetimes. Alternative implementations
can be created using an ALT interface.
Requirement changes
* Officially require Python 3.8 now that earlier versions are out of support.
* Minimum required Windows version is now Windows Vista, or
Windows Server 2008.
New deprecations
* PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR and
MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR, where xxx is either ECC or RSA,
are now being deprecated in favor of PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy and
MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy. Here yyy can be: BASIC,
IMPORT, EXPORT, GENERATE, DERIVE. The goal is to have a finer detail about
the capabilities of the PSA side for either key.
* MBEDTLS_CIPHER_BLKSIZE_MAX is deprecated in favor of
MBEDTLS_MAX_BLOCK_LENGTH (if you intended what the name suggests:
maximum size of any supported block cipher) or the new name
MBEDTLS_CMAC_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE (if you intended the actual semantics:
maximum size of a block cipher supported by the CMAC module).
* mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() and mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe() functions are now
deprecated in favor of mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2_ext() and
mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe_ext() as they offer more security by checking
for overflow of the output buffer and reporting the actual length
of the output.
Features
* All modules that use hashes or HMAC can now take advantage of PSA Crypto
drivers when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C is enabled and psa_crypto_init() has
been called. Previously (in 3.3), this was restricted to a few modules,
and only in builds where MBEDTLS_MD_C was disabled; in particular the
entropy module was not covered which meant an external RNG had to be
provided - these limitations are lifted in this version. A new set of
feature macros, MBEDTLS_MD_CAN_xxx, has been introduced that can be used
to check for availability of hash algorithms, regardless of whether
they're provided by a built-in implementation, a driver or both. See
docs/driver-only-builds.md.
* When a PSA driver for ECDH is present, it is now possible to disable
MBEDTLS_ECDH_C in the build in order to save code size. For TLS 1.2
key exchanges based on ECDH(E) to work, this requires
MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO. Restartable/interruptible ECDHE operations in
TLS 1.2 (ECDHE-ECDSA key exchange) are not supported in those builds yet,
as PSA does not have an API for restartable ECDH yet.
* When all of ECDH, ECDSA and EC J-PAKE are either disabled or provided by
a driver, it is possible to disable MBEDTLS_ECP_C (and MBEDTLS_BIGNUM_C
if not required by another module) and still get support for ECC keys and
algorithms in PSA, with some limitations. See docs/driver-only-builds.txt
for details.
* Add parsing of directoryName subtype for subjectAltName extension in
x509 certificates.
* Add support for server-side TLS version negotiation. If both TLS 1.2 and
TLS 1.3 protocols are enabled, the TLS server now selects TLS 1.2 or
TLS 1.3 depending on the capabilities and preferences of TLS clients.
Fixes #6867.
* X.509 hostname verification now supports IPAddress Subject Alternate Names.
* Add support for reading and writing X25519 and X448
public and private keys in RFC 8410 format using the existing PK APIs.
* When parsing X.509 certificates, support the extensions
SignatureKeyIdentifier and AuthorityKeyIdentifier.
* Don't include the PSA dispatch functions for PAKEs (psa_pake_setup() etc)
if no PAKE algorithms are requested
* Add support for the FFDH algorithm and DH key types in PSA, with
parameters from RFC 7919. This includes a built-in implementation based
on MBEDTLS_BIGNUM_C, and a driver dispatch layer enabling alternative
implementations of FFDH through the driver entry points.
* It is now possible to generate certificates with SubjectAltNames.
Currently supported subtypes: DnsName, UniformResourceIdentifier,
IP address, OtherName, and DirectoryName, as defined in RFC 5280.
See mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_subject_alternative_name for
more information.
* X.509 hostname verification now partially supports URI Subject Alternate
Names. Only exact matching, without any normalization procedures
described in 7.4 of RFC5280, will result in a positive URI verification.
* Add function mbedtls_oid_from_numeric_string() to parse an OID from a
string to a DER-encoded mbedtls_asn1_buf.
* Add SHA-3 family hash functions.
* Add support to restrict AES to 128-bit keys in order to save code size.
A new configuration option, MBEDTLS_AES_ONLY_128_BIT_KEY_LENGTH, can be
used to enable this feature.
* AES performance improvements. Uplift varies by platform,
toolchain, optimisation flags and mode.
Aarch64, gcc -Os and CCM, GCM and XTS benefit the most.
On Aarch64, uplift is typically around 20 - 110%.
When compiling with gcc -Os on Aarch64, AES-XTS improves
by 4.5x.
* Add support for PBKDF2-HMAC through the PSA API.
* New symbols PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy and
MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy (where xxx is either ECC, RSA
or DH) were introduced in order to have finer accuracy in defining the
PSA capabilities for each key. These capabilities, named yyy above, can be
any of: BASIC, IMPORT, EXPORT, GENERATE, DERIVE.
- DERIVE is only available for ECC keys, not for RSA or DH ones.
- implementations are free to enable more than what it was strictly
requested. For example BASIC internally enables IMPORT and EXPORT
(useful for testing purposes), but this might change in the future.
* Add support for FFDH key exchange in TLS 1.3.
This is automatically enabled as soon as PSA_WANT_ALG_FFDH
and the ephemeral or psk-ephemeral key exchange mode are enabled.
By default, all groups are offered; the list of groups can be
configured using the existing API function mbedtls_ssl_conf_groups().
* Improve mbedtls_x509_time performance and reduce memory use.
* Reduce syscalls to time() during certificate verification.
* Allow MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE and MBEDTLS_USER_CONFIG_FILE to be set by
setting the CMake variable of the same name at configuration time.
* Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_cache_get_timeout()) to access
`mbedtls_ssl_cache_context.timeout`.
* Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_get_hostname()) to access
`mbedtls_ssl_context.hostname`.
* Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_conf_get_endpoint()) to access
`mbedtls_ssl_config.endpoint`.
* Support for "opaque" (PSA-held) ECC keys in the PK module has been
extended: it is now possible to use mbedtls_pk_write_key_der(),
mbedtls_pk_write_key_pem(), mbedtls_pk_check_pair(), and
mbedtls_pk_verify() with opaque ECC keys (provided the PSA attributes
allow it).
* The documentation of mbedtls_ecp_group now describes the optimized
representation of A for some curves. Fixes #8045.
* Add a possibility to generate CSR's with RCF822 and directoryName subtype
of subjectAltName extension in x509 certificates.
* Add support for PBKDF2-CMAC through the PSA API.
* New configuration option MBEDTLS_AES_USE_HARDWARE_ONLY introduced. When
using CPU-accelerated AES (e.g., Arm Crypto Extensions), this option
disables the plain C implementation and the run-time detection for the
CPU feature, which reduces code size and avoids the vulnerability of the
plain C implementation.
* Accept arbitrary AttributeType and AttributeValue in certificate
Distinguished Names using RFC 4514 syntax.
* Applications using ECC over secp256r1 through the PSA API can use a
new implementation with a much smaller footprint, but some minor
usage restrictions. See the documentation of the new configuration
option MBEDTLS_PSA_P256M_DRIVER_ENABLED for details.
Security
* Fix a case where potentially sensitive information held in memory would not
be completely zeroized during TLS 1.2 handshake, in both server and client
configurations.
* In configurations with ARIA or Camellia but not AES, the value of
MBEDTLS_CIPHER_BLKSIZE_MAX was 8, rather than 16 as the name might
suggest. This did not affect any library code, because this macro was
only used in relation with CMAC which does not support these ciphers.
This may affect application code that uses this macro.
* Developers using mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() or mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe() should
review the size of the output buffer passed to this function, and note
that the output after decryption may include CBC padding. Consider moving
to the new functions mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2_ext() or mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe_ext()
which checks for overflow of the output buffer and reports the actual
length of the output.
* Improve padding calculations in CBC decryption, NIST key unwrapping and
RSA OAEP decryption. With the previous implementation, some compilers
(notably recent versions of Clang and IAR) could produce non-constant
time code, which could allow a padding oracle attack if the attacker
has access to precise timing measurements.
* Updates to constant-time C code so that compilers are less likely to use
conditional instructions, which can have an observable difference in
timing. (Clang has been seen to do this.) Also introduce assembly
implementations for 32- and 64-bit Arm and for x86 and x86-64, which are
guaranteed not to use conditional instructions.
* Fix definition of MBEDTLS_MD_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE, which was too
small when MBEDTLS_SHA384_C was defined and MBEDTLS_SHA512_C was
undefined. Mbed TLS itself was unaffected by this, but user code
which used MBEDTLS_MD_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE could be affected. The only
release containing this bug was Mbed TLS 3.4.0.
* Fix a buffer overread when parsing short TLS application data records in
null-cipher cipher suites. Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
* Fix a remotely exploitable heap buffer overflow in TLS handshake parsing.
In TLS 1.3, all configurations are affected except PSK-only ones, and
both clients and servers are affected.
In TLS 1.2, the affected configurations are those with
MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO and ECDH enabled but DHM and RSA disabled,
and only servers are affected, not clients.
Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
Bugfix
* Fix proper sizing for PSA_EXPORT_[KEY_PAIR/PUBLIC_KEY]_MAX_SIZE and
PSA_SIGNATURE_MAX_SIZE buffers when at least one accelerated EC is bigger
than all built-in ones and RSA is disabled.
Resolves #6622.
* Add missing md.h includes to some of the external programs from
the programs directory. Without this, even though the configuration
was sufficient for a particular program to work, it would only print
a message that one of the required defines is missing.
* Fix declaration of mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det_restartable() function
in the ecdsa.h header file. There was a build warning when the
configuration macro MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT was defined.
Resolves #7407.
* Fix an error when MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT is defined but not
MBEDTLS_ECDSA_VERIFY_ALT, causing ecdsa verify to fail. Fixes #7498.
* Fix missing PSA initialization in sample programs when
MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
* Fix the J-PAKE driver interface for user and peer to accept any values
(previously accepted values were limited to "client" or "server").
* Fix clang and armclang compilation error when targeting certain Arm
M-class CPUs (Cortex-M0, Cortex-M0+, Cortex-M1, Cortex-M23,
SecurCore SC000). Fixes #1077.
* Fix "unterminated '#pragma clang attribute push'" in sha256/sha512.c when
built with MBEDTLS_SHAxxx_USE_A64_CRYPTO_IF_PRESENT but don't have a
way to detect the crypto extensions required. A warning is still issued.
* Fixed an issue that caused compile errors when using CMake and the IAR
toolchain.
* Fix very high stack usage in SSL debug code. Reported by Maximilian
Gerhardt in #7804.
* Fix a compilation failure in the constant_time module when
building for arm64_32 (e.g., for watchos). Reported by Paulo
Coutinho in #7787.
* Fix crypt_and_hash decryption fail when used with a stream cipher
mode of operation due to the input not being multiple of block size.
Resolves #7417.
* Fix a bug in which mbedtls_x509_string_to_names() would return success
when given a invalid name string if it did not contain '=' or ','.
* Fix compilation warnings in aes.c, which prevented the
example TF-M configuration in configs/ from building cleanly:
tfm_mbedcrypto_config_profile_medium.h with
crypto_config_profile_medium.h.
* In TLS 1.3, fix handshake failure when a client in its ClientHello
proposes an handshake based on PSK only key exchange mode or at least
one of the key exchange modes using ephemeral keys to a server that
supports only the PSK key exchange mode.
* Fix CCM* with no tag being not supported in a build with CCM as the only
symmetric encryption algorithm and the PSA configuration enabled.
* Fix the build with MBEDTLS_PSA_INJECT_ENTROPY. Fixes #7516.
* Fix a compilation error on some platforms when including mbedtls/ssl.h
with all TLS support disabled. Fixes #6628.
* Fix x509 certificate generation to conform to RFC 5480 / RFC 5758 when
using ECC key. The certificate was rejected by some crypto frameworks.
Fixes #2924.
* Fix a potential corruption of the passed-in IV when mbedtls_aes_crypt_cbc()
is called with zero length and padlock is not enabled.
* Fix compile failure due to empty enum in cipher_wrap.c, when building
with a very minimal configuration. Fixes #7625.
* Fix some cases where mbedtls_mpi_mod_exp, RSA key construction or ECDSA
signature can silently return an incorrect result in low memory conditions.
* Don't try to include MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_USER_CONFIG_FILE when
MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is disabled.
* Fix IAR compiler warnings.
* Fix an issue when parsing an otherName subject alternative name into a
mbedtls_x509_san_other_name struct. The type-id of the otherName was not
copied to the struct. This meant that the struct had incomplete
information about the otherName SAN and contained uninitialized memory.
* Fix the detection of HardwareModuleName otherName SANs. These were being
detected by comparing the wrong field and the check was erroneously
inverted.
* Fix a build error in some configurations with MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG
enabled, where some low-level modules required by requested PSA crypto
features were not getting automatically enabled. Fixes #7420.
* Fix undefined symbols in some builds using TLS 1.3 with a custom
configuration file.
* Fix log level for the got supported group message. Fixes #6765
* Functions in the ssl_cache module now return a negative MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx
error code on failure. Before, they returned 1 to indicate failure in
some cases involving a missing entry or a full cache.
* mbedtls_pk_parse_key() now rejects trailing garbage in encrypted keys.
* Fix the build with CMake when Everest or P256-m is enabled through
a user configuration file or the compiler command line. Fixes #8165.
Changes
* Enable Arm / Thumb bignum assembly for most Arm platforms when
compiling with gcc, clang or armclang and -O0.
* Enforce minimum RSA key size when generating a key
to avoid accidental misuse.
* Use heap memory to allocate DER encoded RSA private key.
This reduces stack usage significantly for RSA signature
operations when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C is defined.
* Update Windows code to use BCryptGenRandom and wcslen, and
ensure that conversions between size_t, ULONG, and int are
always done safely. Original contribution by Kevin Kane #635, #730
followed by Simon Butcher #1453.
* Users integrating their own PSA drivers should be aware that
the file library/psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.c has been renamed
to psa_crypto_driver_wrappers_no_static.c.
* When using CBC with the cipher module, the requirement to call
mbedtls_cipher_set_padding_mode() is now enforced. Previously, omitting
this call accidentally applied a default padding mode chosen at compile
time.
= Mbed TLS 3.4.1 branch released 2023-08-04
Bugfix
* Fix builds on Windows with clang
Changes
* Update test data to avoid failures of unit tests after 2023-08-07.
= Mbed TLS 3.4.0 branch released 2023-03-28
Default behavior changes
* The default priority order of TLS 1.3 cipher suites has been modified to
follow the same rules as the TLS 1.2 cipher suites (see
ssl_ciphersuites.c). The preferred cipher suite is now
TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256.
New deprecations
* mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial() is now being deprecated in favor of
mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial_raw(). The goal here is to remove any
direct dependency of X509 on BIGNUM_C.
* PSA to mbedtls error translation is now unified in psa_util.h,
deprecating mbedtls_md_error_from_psa. Each file that performs error
translation should define its own version of PSA_TO_MBEDTLS_ERR,
optionally providing file-specific error pairs. Please see psa_util.h for
more details.
Features
* Added partial support for parsing the PKCS #7 Cryptographic Message
Syntax, as defined in RFC 2315. Currently, support is limited to the
following:
- Only the signed-data content type, version 1 is supported.
- Only DER encoding is supported.
- Only a single digest algorithm per message is supported.
- Certificates must be in X.509 format. A message must have either 0
or 1 certificates.
- There is no support for certificate revocation lists.
- The authenticated and unauthenticated attribute fields of SignerInfo
must be empty.
Many thanks to Daniel Axtens, Nayna Jain, and Nick Child from IBM for
contributing this feature, and to Demi-Marie Obenour for contributing
various improvements, tests and bug fixes.
* General performance improvements by accessing multiple bytes at a time.
Fixes #1666.
* Improvements to use of unaligned and byte-swapped memory, reducing code
size and improving performance (depending on compiler and target
architecture).
* Add support for reading points in compressed format
(MBEDTLS_ECP_PF_COMPRESSED) with mbedtls_ecp_point_read_binary()
(and callers) for Short Weierstrass curves with prime p where p = 3 mod 4
(all mbedtls MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP* and MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_BP* curves
except MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP224R1 and MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP224K1)
* SHA224_C/SHA384_C are now independent from SHA384_C/SHA512_C respectively.
This helps in saving code size when some of the above hashes are not
required.
* Add parsing of V3 extensions (key usage, Netscape cert-type,
Subject Alternative Names) in x509 Certificate Sign Requests.
* Use HOSTCC (if it is set) when compiling C code during generation of the
configuration-independent files. This allows them to be generated when
CC is set for cross compilation.
* Add parsing of uniformResourceIdentifier subtype for subjectAltName
extension in x509 certificates.
* Add an interruptible version of sign and verify hash to the PSA interface,
backed by internal library support for ECDSA signing and verification.
* Add parsing of rfc822Name subtype for subjectAltName
extension in x509 certificates.
* The configuration macros MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_PLATFORM_FILE and
MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_STRUCT_FILE specify alternative locations for
the headers "psa/crypto_platform.h" and "psa/crypto_struct.h".
* When a PSA driver for ECDSA is present, it is now possible to disable
MBEDTLS_ECDSA_C in the build in order to save code size. For PK, X.509
and TLS to fully work, this requires MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO to be enabled.
Restartable/interruptible ECDSA operations in PK, X.509 and TLS are not
supported in those builds yet, as driver support for interruptible ECDSA
operations is not present yet.
* Add a driver dispatch layer for EC J-PAKE, enabling alternative
implementations of EC J-PAKE through the driver entry points.
* Add new API mbedtls_ssl_cache_remove for cache entry removal by
its session id.
* Add support to include the SubjectAltName extension to a CSR.
* Add support for AES with the Armv8-A Cryptographic Extension on
64-bit Arm. A new configuration option, MBEDTLS_AESCE_C, can
be used to enable this feature. Run-time detection is supported
under Linux only.
* When a PSA driver for EC J-PAKE is present, it is now possible to disable
MBEDTLS_ECJPAKE_C in the build in order to save code size. For the
corresponding TLS 1.2 key exchange to work, MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO needs
to be enabled.
* Add functions mbedtls_rsa_get_padding_mode() and mbedtls_rsa_get_md_alg()
to read non-public fields for padding mode and hash id from
an mbedtls_rsa_context, as requested in #6917.
* AES-NI is now supported with Visual Studio.
* AES-NI is now supported in 32-bit builds, or when MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM
is disabled, when compiling with GCC or Clang or a compatible compiler
for a target CPU that supports the requisite instructions (for example
gcc -m32 -msse2 -maes -mpclmul). (Generic x86 builds with GCC-like
compilers still require MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM and a 64-bit target.)
* It is now possible to use a PSA-held (opaque) password with the TLS 1.2
ECJPAKE key exchange, using the new API function
mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_ecjpake_password_opaque().
Security
* Use platform-provided secure zeroization function where possible, such as
explicit_bzero().
* Zeroize SSL cache entries when they are freed.
* Fix a potential heap buffer overread in TLS 1.3 client-side when
MBEDTLS_DEBUG_C is enabled. This may result in an application crash.
* Add support for AES with the Armv8-A Cryptographic Extension on 64-bit
Arm, so that these systems are no longer vulnerable to timing side-channel
attacks. This is configured by MBEDTLS_AESCE_C, which is on by default.
Reported by Demi Marie Obenour.
* MBEDTLS_AESNI_C, which is enabled by default, was silently ignored on
builds that couldn't compile the GCC-style assembly implementation
(most notably builds with Visual Studio), leaving them vulnerable to
timing side-channel attacks. There is now an intrinsics-based AES-NI
implementation as a fallback for when the assembly one cannot be used.
Bugfix
* Fix possible integer overflow in mbedtls_timing_hardclock(), which
could cause a crash in programs/test/benchmark.
* Fix IAR compiler warnings. Fixes #6924.
* Fix a bug in the build where directory names containing spaces were
causing generate_errors.pl to error out resulting in a build failure.
Fixes issue #6879.
* In TLS 1.3, when using a ticket for session resumption, tweak its age
calculation on the client side. It prevents a server with more accurate
ticket timestamps (typically timestamps in milliseconds) compared to the
Mbed TLS ticket timestamps (in seconds) to compute a ticket age smaller
than the age computed and transmitted by the client and thus potentially
reject the ticket. Fix #6623.
* Fix compile error where MBEDTLS_RSA_C and MBEDTLS_X509_CRT_WRITE_C are
defined, but MBEDTLS_PK_RSA_ALT_SUPPORT is not defined. Fixes #3174.
* List PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG in psa/crypto_config.h so that it can
be toggled with config.py.
* The key derivation algorithm PSA_ALG_TLS12_ECJPAKE_TO_PMS cannot be
used on a shared secret from a key agreement since its input must be
an ECC public key. Reject this properly.
* mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial() now explicitly rejects serial numbers
whose binary representation is longer than 20 bytes. This was already
forbidden by the standard (RFC5280 - section 4.1.2.2) and now it's being
enforced also at code level.
* Fix potential undefined behavior in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs(). Reported by
Pascal Cuoq using TrustInSoft Analyzer in #6701; observed independently by
Aaron Ucko under Valgrind.
* Fix behavior of certain sample programs which could, when run with no
arguments, access uninitialized memory in some cases. Fixes #6700 (which
was found by TrustInSoft Analyzer during REDOCS'22) and #1120.
* Fix parsing of X.509 SubjectAlternativeName extension. Previously,
malformed alternative name components were not caught during initial
certificate parsing, but only on subsequent calls to
mbedtls_x509_parse_subject_alt_name(). Fixes #2838.
* Make the fields of mbedtls_pk_rsassa_pss_options public. This makes it
possible to verify RSA PSS signatures with the pk module, which was
inadvertently broken since Mbed TLS 3.0.
* Fix bug in conversion from OID to string in
mbedtls_oid_get_numeric_string(). OIDs such as 2.40.0.25 are now printed
correctly.
* Reject OIDs with overlong-encoded subidentifiers when converting
them to a string.
* Reject OIDs with subidentifier values exceeding UINT_MAX. Such
subidentifiers can be valid, but Mbed TLS cannot currently handle them.
* Reject OIDs that have unterminated subidentifiers, or (equivalently)
have the most-significant bit set in their last byte.
* Silence warnings from clang -Wdocumentation about empty \retval
descriptions, which started appearing with Clang 15. Fixes #6960.
* Fix the handling of renegotiation attempts in TLS 1.3. They are now
systematically rejected.
* Fix an unused-variable warning in TLS 1.3-only builds if
MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION was enabled. Fixes #6200.
* Fix undefined behavior in mbedtls_ssl_read() and mbedtls_ssl_write() if
len argument is 0 and buffer is NULL.
* Allow setting user and peer identifiers for EC J-PAKE operation
instead of role in PAKE PSA Crypto API as described in the specification.
This is a partial fix that allows only "client" and "server" identifiers.
* Fix a compilation error when PSA Crypto is built with support for
TLS12_PRF but not TLS12_PSK_TO_MS. Reported by joerchan in #7125.
* In the TLS 1.3 server, select the preferred client cipher suite, not the
least preferred. The selection error was introduced in Mbed TLS 3.3.0.
* Fix TLS 1.3 session resumption when the established pre-shared key is
384 bits long. That is the length of pre-shared keys created under a
session where the cipher suite is TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384.
* Fix an issue when compiling with MBEDTLS_SHA512_USE_A64_CRYPTO_IF_PRESENT
enabled, which required specifying compiler flags enabling SHA3 Crypto
Extensions, where some compilers would emit EOR3 instructions in other
modules, which would then fail if run on a CPU without the SHA3
extensions. Fixes #5758.
Changes
* Install the .cmake files into CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR/cmake/MbedTLS,
typically /usr/lib/cmake/MbedTLS.
* Mixed-endian systems are explicitly not supported any more.
* When MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO and MBEDTLS_ECDSA_DETERMINISTIC are both
defined, mbedtls_pk_sign() now use deterministic ECDSA for ECDSA
signatures. This aligns the behaviour with MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO to
the behaviour without it, where deterministic ECDSA was already used.
* Visual Studio: Rename the directory containing Visual Studio files from
visualc/VS2010 to visualc/VS2013 as we do not support building with versions
older than 2013. Update the solution file to specify VS2013 as a minimum.
* programs/x509/cert_write:
- now it accepts the serial number in 2 different formats: decimal and
hex. They cannot be used simultaneously
- "serial" is used for the decimal format and it's limted in size to
unsigned long long int
- "serial_hex" is used for the hex format; max length here is
MBEDTLS_X509_RFC5280_MAX_SERIAL_LEN*2
* The C code follows a new coding style. This is transparent for users but
affects contributors and maintainers of local patches. For more
information, see
https://mbed-tls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kb/how-to/rewrite-branch-for-coding-style/
* Changed the default MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE from 6 to 2.
As tested in issue 6790, the correlation between this define and
RSA decryption performance has changed lately due to security fixes.
To fix the performance degradation when using default values the
window was reduced from 6 to 2, a value that gives the best or close
to best results when tested on Cortex-M4 and Intel i7.
* When enabling MBEDTLS_SHA256_USE_A64_CRYPTO_* or
MBEDTLS_SHA512_USE_A64_CRYPTO_*, it is no longer necessary to specify
compiler target flags on the command line; the library now sets target
options within the appropriate modules.
= Mbed TLS 3.3.0 branch released 2022-12-14
Default behavior changes
* Previously the macro MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID implemented version 05
of the IETF draft, and was marked experimental and disabled by default.
It is now no longer experimental, and implements the final version from
RFC 9146, which is not interoperable with the draft-05 version.
If you need to communicate with peers that use earlier versions of
Mbed TLS, then you need to define MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID_COMPAT
to 1, but then you won't be able to communicate with peers that use the
standard (non-draft) version.
