Tom Rini0344c602024-10-08 13:56:50 -06001Mbed TLS ChangeLog (Sorted per branch, date)
2
3= Mbed TLS 3.6.0 branch released 2024-03-28
4
5API changes
6 * Remove `tls13_` in mbedtls_ssl_tls13_conf_early_data() and
7 mbedtls_ssl_tls13_conf_max_early_data_size() API names. Early data
8 feature may not be TLS 1.3 specific in the future. Fixes #6909.
9
10Default behavior changes
11 * psa_import_key() now only accepts RSA keys in the PSA standard formats.
12 The undocumented ability to import other formats (PKCS#8, SubjectPublicKey,
13 PEM) accepted by the pkparse module has been removed. Applications that
14 need these formats can call mbedtls_pk_parse_{public,}key() followed by
15 mbedtls_pk_import_into_psa().
16
17Requirement changes
18 * Drop support for Visual Studio 2013 and 2015, and Arm Compiler 5.
19
20New deprecations
21 * Rename the MBEDTLS_SHA256_USE_A64_CRYPTO_xxx config options to
22 MBEDTLS_SHA256_USE_ARMV8_A_CRYPTO_xxx. The old names may still
23 be used, but are deprecated.
24 * In the PSA API, domain parameters are no longer used for anything.
25 They are deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the
26 library.
27 * mbedtls_ecp_write_key() is deprecated in favor of
28 mbedtls_ecp_write_key_ext().
29
30Removals
31 * In the PSA API, the experimental way to encode the public exponent of
32 an RSA key as a domain parameter is no longer supported. Use
33 psa_generate_key_ext() instead.
34 * Temporary function mbedtls_pk_wrap_as_opaque() is removed. To mimic the
35 same behavior mbedtls_pk_get_psa_attributes() and
36 mbedtls_pk_import_into_psa() can be used to import a PK key into PSA,
37 while mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque() can be used to wrap a PSA key into a opaque
38 PK context.
39
40Features
41 * Added an example program showing how to hash with the PSA API.
42 * Support Armv8-A Crypto Extension acceleration for SHA-256
43 when compiling for Thumb (T32) or 32-bit Arm (A32).
44 * AES-NI is now supported in Windows builds with clang and clang-cl.
45 Resolves #8372.
46 * Add new mbedtls_x509_csr_parse_der_with_ext_cb() routine which allows
47 parsing unsupported certificate extensions via user provided callback.
48 * Enable the new option MBEDTLS_BLOCK_CIPHER_NO_DECRYPT to omit
49 the decryption direction of block ciphers (AES, ARIA, Camellia).
50 This affects both the low-level modules and the high-level APIs
51 (the cipher and PSA interfaces). This option is incompatible with modes
52 that use the decryption direction (ECB in PSA, CBC, XTS, KW) and with DES.
53 * Support use of Armv8-A Cryptographic Extensions for hardware acclerated
54 AES when compiling for Thumb (T32) or 32-bit Arm (A32).
55 * If a cipher or AEAD mechanism has a PSA driver, you can now build the
56 library without the corresponding built-in implementation. Generally
57 speaking that requires both the key type and algorithm to be accelerated
58 or they'll both be built in. However, for CCM and GCM the built-in
59 implementation is able to take advantage of a driver that only
60 accelerates the key type (that is, the block cipher primitive). See
61 docs/driver-only-builds.md for full details and current limitations.
62 * The CTR_DRBG module will now use AES from a PSA driver if MBEDTLS_AES_C is
63 disabled. This requires PSA_WANT_ALG_ECB_NO_PADDING in addition to
64 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C and PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_AES.
65 * Fewer modules depend on MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C, making it possible to save code
66 size by disabling it in more circumstances. In particular, the CCM and
67 GCM modules no longer depend on MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C. Also,
68 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO can now be enabled without MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C if all
69 unauthenticated (non-AEAD) ciphers are disabled, or if they're all
70 fully provided by drivers. See docs/driver-only-builds.md for full
71 details and current limitations; in particular, NIST_KW and PKCS5/PKCS12
72 decryption still unconditionally depend on MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C.
73 * Add support for record size limit extension as defined by RFC 8449
74 and configured with MBEDTLS_SSL_RECORD_SIZE_LIMIT.
75 Application data sent and received will be fragmented according to
76 Record size limits negotiated during handshake.
77 * Improve performance of AES-GCM, AES-CTR and CTR-DRBG when
78 hardware accelerated AES is not present (around 13-23% on 64-bit Arm).
79 * Add functions mbedtls_ecc_group_to_psa() and mbedtls_ecc_group_from_psa()
80 to convert between Mbed TLS and PSA curve identifiers.
81 * Add utility functions to manipulate mbedtls_ecp_keypair objects, filling
82 gaps made by making its fields private: mbedtls_ecp_set_public_key(),
83 mbedtls_ecp_write_public_key(), mbedtls_ecp_keypair_calc_public(),
84 mbedtls_ecp_keypair_get_group_id(). Fixes #5017, #5441, #8367, #8652.
85 * Add functions mbedtls_md_psa_alg_from_type() and
86 mbedtls_md_type_from_psa_alg() to convert between mbedtls_md_type_t and
87 psa_algorithm_t.
88 * Add partial platform support for z/OS.
89 * Improve performance for gcc (versions older than 9.3.0) and IAR.
90 * Add functions mbedtls_ecdsa_raw_to_der() and mbedtls_ecdsa_der_to_raw() to
91 convert ECDSA signatures between raw and DER (ASN.1) formats.
92 * Add support for using AES-CBC 128, 192, and 256 bit schemes
93 with PKCS#5 PBES2. Keys encrypted this way can now be parsed by PK parse.
94 * The new function mbedtls_rsa_get_bitlen() returns the length of the modulus
95 in bits, i.e. the key size for an RSA key.
96 * Add pc files for pkg-config, e.g.:
97 pkg-config --cflags --libs (mbedtls|mbedcrypto|mbedx509)
98 * Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_session_get_ticket_creation_time()) to access
99 `mbedtls_ssl_session.ticket_creation_time`.
100 * The new functions mbedtls_pk_get_psa_attributes() and
101 mbedtls_pk_import_into_psa() provide a uniform way to create a PSA
102 key from a PK key.
103 * The benchmark program now reports times for both ephemeral and static
104 ECDH in all ECDH configurations.
105 * Add support for 8-bit GCM tables for Shoup's algorithm to speedup GCM
106 operations when hardware accelerated AES is not present. Improves
107 performance by around 30% on 64-bit Intel; 125% on Armv7-M.
108 * The new function psa_generate_key_ext() allows generating an RSA
109 key pair with a custom public exponent.
110 * The new function mbedtls_ecp_write_key_ext() is similar to
111 mbedtls_ecp_write_key(), but can be used without separately calculating
112 the output length.
113 * Add new accessor to expose the private group id member of
114 `mbedtls_ecdh_context` structure.
115 * Add new accessor to expose the `MBEDTLS_PRIVATE(ca_istrue)` member of
116 `mbedtls_x509_crt` structure. This requires setting
117 the MBEDTLS_X509_EXT_BASIC_CONSTRAINTS bit in the certificate's
118 ext_types field.
119 * mbedtls_psa_get_random() is always available as soon as
120 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CLIENT is enabled at build time and psa_crypto_init() is
121 called at runtime. This together with MBEDTLS_PSA_RANDOM_STATE can be
122 used as random number generator function (f_rng) and context (p_rng) in
123 legacy functions.
124 * The new functions mbedtls_pk_copy_from_psa() and
125 mbedtls_pk_copy_public_from_psa() provide ways to set up a PK context
126 with the same content as a PSA key.
127 * Add new accessors to expose the private session-id,
128 session-id length, and ciphersuite-id members of
129 `mbedtls_ssl_session` structure.
130 Add new accessor to expose the ciphersuite-id of
131 `mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_t` structure.Design ref: #8529
132 * Mbed TLS now supports the writing and reading of TLS 1.3 early data (see
133 docs/tls13-early-data.md). The support enablement is controlled at build
134 time by the MBEDTLS_SSL_EARLY_DATA configuration option and at runtime by
135 the mbedtls_ssl_conf_early_data() API (by default disabled in both cases).
136 * Add protection for multithreaded access to the PSA keystore and protection
137 for multithreaded access to the the PSA global state, including
138 concurrently calling psa_crypto_init() when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C and
139 MBEDTLS_THREADING_PTHREAD are defined. See
140 docs/architecture/psa-thread-safety/psa-thread-safety.md for more details.
141 Resolves issues #3263 and #7945.
142
143Security
144 * Fix a stack buffer overread (less than 256 bytes) when parsing a TLS 1.3
145 ClientHello in a TLS 1.3 server supporting some PSK key exchange mode. A
146 malicious client could cause information disclosure or a denial of service.
147 * Passing buffers that are stored in untrusted memory as arguments
148 to PSA functions is now secure by default.
149 The PSA core now protects against modification of inputs or exposure
150 of intermediate outputs during operations. This is currently implemented
151 by copying buffers.
152 This feature increases code size and memory usage. If buffers passed to
153 PSA functions are owned exclusively by the PSA core for the duration of
154 the function call (i.e. no buffer parameters are in shared memory),
155 copying may be disabled by setting MBEDTLS_PSA_ASSUME_EXCLUSIVE_BUFFERS.
156 Note that setting this option will cause input-output buffer overlap to
157 be only partially supported (#3266).
158 Fixes CVE-2024-28960.
159 * Restore the maximum TLS version to be negotiated to the configured one
160 when an SSL context is reset with the mbedtls_ssl_session_reset() API.
161 An attacker was able to prevent an Mbed TLS server from establishing any
162 TLS 1.3 connection potentially resulting in a Denial of Service or forced
163 version downgrade from TLS 1.3 to TLS 1.2. Fixes #8654 reported by hey3e.
164 Fixes CVE-2024-28755.
165 * When negotiating TLS version on server side, do not fall back to the
166 TLS 1.2 implementation of the protocol if it is disabled.
167 - If the TLS 1.2 implementation was disabled at build time, a TLS 1.2
168 client could put the TLS 1.3-only server in an infinite loop processing
169 a TLS 1.2 ClientHello, resulting in a denial of service. Reported by
170 Matthias Mucha and Thomas Blattmann, SICK AG.
171 - If the TLS 1.2 implementation was disabled at runtime, a TLS 1.2 client
172 was able to successfully establish a TLS 1.2 connection with the server.
173 Reported by alluettiv on GitHub.
174 Fixes CVE-2024-28836.
175
176Bugfix
177 * Fix the build with CMake when Everest or P256-m is enabled through
178 a user configuration file or the compiler command line. Fixes #8165.
179 * Fix compilation error in C++ programs when MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C is
180 disabled.
181 * Fix possible NULL dereference issue in X509 cert_req program if an entry
182 in the san parameter is not separated by a colon.
183 * Fix possible NULL dereference issue in X509 cert_write program if an entry
184 in the san parameter is not separated by a colon.
185 * Fix an inconsistency between implementations and usages of `__cpuid`,
186 which mainly causes failures when building Windows target using
187 mingw or clang. Fixes #8334 & #8332.
188 * Fix build failure in conda-forge. Fixes #8422.
189 * Fix parsing of CSRs with critical extensions.
190 * Switch to milliseconds as the unit for ticket creation and reception time
191 instead of seconds. That avoids rounding errors when computing the age of
192 tickets compared to peer using a millisecond clock (observed with GnuTLS).
193 Fixes #6623.
194 * Fix TLS server accepting TLS 1.2 handshake while TLS 1.2
195 is disabled at runtime. Fixes #8593.
196 * Remove accidental introduction of RSA signature algorithms
197 in TLS Suite B Profile. Fixes #8221.
198 * Fix unsupported PSA asymmetric encryption and decryption
199 (psa_asymmetric_[en|de]crypt) with opaque keys.
200 Resolves #8461.
201 * On Linux on ARMv8, fix a build error with SHA-256 and SHA-512
202 acceleration detection when the libc headers do not define the
203 corresponding constant. Reported by valord577.
204 * Correct initial capacities for key derivation algorithms:TLS12_PRF,
205 TLS12_PSK_TO_MS, PBKDF2-HMAC, PBKDF2-CMAC
206 * Fix mbedtls_pk_get_bitlen() for RSA keys whose size is not a
207 multiple of 8. Fixes #868.
208 * Avoid segmentation fault caused by releasing not initialized
209 entropy resource in gen_key example. Fixes #8809.
210 * mbedtls_pem_read_buffer() now performs a check on the padding data of
211 decrypted keys and it rejects invalid ones.
212 * Fix mbedtls_pk_sign(), mbedtls_pk_verify(), mbedtls_pk_decrypt() and
213 mbedtls_pk_encrypt() on non-opaque RSA keys to honor the padding mode in
214 the RSA context. Before, if MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO was enabled and the
215 RSA context was configured for PKCS#1 v2.1 (PSS/OAEP), the sign/verify
216 functions performed a PKCS#1 v1.5 signature instead and the
217 encrypt/decrypt functions returned an error. Fixes #8824.
218 * Fix missing bitflags in SSL session serialization headers. Their absence
219 allowed SSL sessions saved in one configuration to be loaded in a
220 different, incompatible configuration.
221 * In TLS 1.3 clients, fix an interoperability problem due to the client
222 generating a new random after a HelloRetryRequest. Fixes #8669.
223 * Fix the restoration of the ALPN when loading serialized connection with
224 the mbedtls_ssl_context_load() API.
225 * Fix NULL pointer dereference in mbedtls_pk_verify_ext() when called using
226 an opaque RSA context and specifying MBEDTLS_PK_RSASSA_PSS as key type.
227 * Fix RSA opaque keys always using PKCS1 v1.5 algorithms instead of the
228 primary algorithm of the wrapped PSA key.
229 * Fully support arbitrary overlap between inputs and outputs of PSA
230 functions. Note that overlap is still only partially supported when
231 MBEDTLS_PSA_ASSUME_EXCLUSIVE_BUFFERS is set (#3266).
232
233Changes
234 * Use heap memory to allocate DER encoded public/private key.
235 This reduces stack usage significantly for writing a public/private
236 key to a PEM string.
237 * PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM and PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG are no more synonyms and
238 they are now treated separately. This means that they should be
239 individually enabled in order to enable respective support; also the
240 corresponding MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL symbol should be defined in case
241 acceleration is required.
242 * Moved declaration of functions mbedtls_ecc_group_to_psa and
243 mbedtls_ecc_group_of_psa from psa/crypto_extra.h to mbedtls/psa_util.h
244 * mbedtls_pk_sign_ext() is now always available, not just when
245 PSA (MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C) is enabled.
246 * Extended PSA Crypto configurations options for FFDH by making it possible
247 to select only some of the parameters / groups, with the macros
248 PSA_WANT_DH_RFC7919_XXXX. You now need to defined the corresponding macro
249 for each size you want to support. Also, if you have an FFDH accelerator,
250 you'll need to define the appropriate MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL macros to signal
251 support for these domain parameters.
252 * RSA support in PSA no longer auto-enables the pkparse and pkwrite modules,
253 saving code size when those are not otherwise enabled.
254 * mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod and code that uses it, notably RSA and DHM operations,
255 have changed their speed/memory compromise as part of a proactive security
256 improvement. The new default value of MBEDTLS_MPI_WINDOW_SIZE roughly
257 preserves the current speed, at the expense of increasing memory
258 consumption.
259 * Rename directory containing Visual Studio files from visualc/VS2013 to
260 visualc/VS2017.
261 * The TLS 1.3 protocol is now enabled in the default configuration.
262
263= Mbed TLS 3.5.2 branch released 2024-01-26
264
265Security
266 * Fix a timing side channel in private key RSA operations. This side channel
267 could be sufficient for an attacker to recover the plaintext. A local
268 attacker or a remote attacker who is close to the victim on the network
269 might have precise enough timing measurements to exploit this. It requires
270 the attacker to send a large number of messages for decryption. For
271 details, see "Everlasting ROBOT: the Marvin Attack", Hubert Kario. Reported
272 by Hubert Kario, Red Hat.
273 * Fix a failure to validate input when writing x509 extensions lengths which
274 could result in an integer overflow, causing a zero-length buffer to be
275 allocated to hold the extension. The extension would then be copied into
276 the buffer, causing a heap buffer overflow.
277
278= Mbed TLS 3.5.1 branch released 2023-11-06
279
280Changes
281 * Mbed TLS is now released under a dual Apache-2.0 OR GPL-2.0-or-later
282 license. Users may choose which license they take the code under.
283
284Bugfix
285 * Fix accidental omission of MBEDTLS_TARGET_PREFIX in 3rdparty modules
286 in CMake.
287
288= Mbed TLS 3.5.0 branch released 2023-10-05
289
290API changes
291 * Mbed TLS 3.4 introduced support for omitting the built-in implementation
292 of ECDSA and/or EC J-PAKE when those are provided by a driver. However,
293 there was a flaw in the logic checking if the built-in implementation, in
294 that it failed to check if all the relevant curves were supported by the
295 accelerator. As a result, it was possible to declare no curves as
296 accelerated and still have the built-in implementation compiled out.
297 Starting with this release, it is necessary to declare which curves are
298 accelerated (using MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_ECC_xxx macros), or they will be
299 considered not accelerated, and the built-in implementation of the curves
300 and any algorithm possible using them will be included in the build.
301 * Add new millisecond time type `mbedtls_ms_time_t` and `mbedtls_ms_time()`
302 function, needed for TLS 1.3 ticket lifetimes. Alternative implementations
303 can be created using an ALT interface.
304
305Requirement changes
306 * Officially require Python 3.8 now that earlier versions are out of support.
307 * Minimum required Windows version is now Windows Vista, or
308 Windows Server 2008.
309
310New deprecations
311 * PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR and
312 MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR, where xxx is either ECC or RSA,
313 are now being deprecated in favor of PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy and
314 MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy. Here yyy can be: BASIC,
315 IMPORT, EXPORT, GENERATE, DERIVE. The goal is to have a finer detail about
316 the capabilities of the PSA side for either key.
317 * MBEDTLS_CIPHER_BLKSIZE_MAX is deprecated in favor of
318 MBEDTLS_MAX_BLOCK_LENGTH (if you intended what the name suggests:
319 maximum size of any supported block cipher) or the new name
320 MBEDTLS_CMAC_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE (if you intended the actual semantics:
321 maximum size of a block cipher supported by the CMAC module).
322 * mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() and mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe() functions are now
323 deprecated in favor of mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2_ext() and
324 mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe_ext() as they offer more security by checking
325 for overflow of the output buffer and reporting the actual length
326 of the output.
327
328Features
329 * All modules that use hashes or HMAC can now take advantage of PSA Crypto
330 drivers when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C is enabled and psa_crypto_init() has
331 been called. Previously (in 3.3), this was restricted to a few modules,
332 and only in builds where MBEDTLS_MD_C was disabled; in particular the
333 entropy module was not covered which meant an external RNG had to be
334 provided - these limitations are lifted in this version. A new set of
335 feature macros, MBEDTLS_MD_CAN_xxx, has been introduced that can be used
336 to check for availability of hash algorithms, regardless of whether
337 they're provided by a built-in implementation, a driver or both. See
338 docs/driver-only-builds.md.
339 * When a PSA driver for ECDH is present, it is now possible to disable
340 MBEDTLS_ECDH_C in the build in order to save code size. For TLS 1.2
341 key exchanges based on ECDH(E) to work, this requires
342 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO. Restartable/interruptible ECDHE operations in
343 TLS 1.2 (ECDHE-ECDSA key exchange) are not supported in those builds yet,
344 as PSA does not have an API for restartable ECDH yet.
345 * When all of ECDH, ECDSA and EC J-PAKE are either disabled or provided by
346 a driver, it is possible to disable MBEDTLS_ECP_C (and MBEDTLS_BIGNUM_C
347 if not required by another module) and still get support for ECC keys and
348 algorithms in PSA, with some limitations. See docs/driver-only-builds.txt
349 for details.
350 * Add parsing of directoryName subtype for subjectAltName extension in
351 x509 certificates.
352 * Add support for server-side TLS version negotiation. If both TLS 1.2 and
353 TLS 1.3 protocols are enabled, the TLS server now selects TLS 1.2 or
354 TLS 1.3 depending on the capabilities and preferences of TLS clients.
355 Fixes #6867.
356 * X.509 hostname verification now supports IPAddress Subject Alternate Names.
357 * Add support for reading and writing X25519 and X448
358 public and private keys in RFC 8410 format using the existing PK APIs.
359 * When parsing X.509 certificates, support the extensions
360 SignatureKeyIdentifier and AuthorityKeyIdentifier.
361 * Don't include the PSA dispatch functions for PAKEs (psa_pake_setup() etc)
362 if no PAKE algorithms are requested
363 * Add support for the FFDH algorithm and DH key types in PSA, with
364 parameters from RFC 7919. This includes a built-in implementation based
365 on MBEDTLS_BIGNUM_C, and a driver dispatch layer enabling alternative
366 implementations of FFDH through the driver entry points.
367 * It is now possible to generate certificates with SubjectAltNames.
368 Currently supported subtypes: DnsName, UniformResourceIdentifier,
369 IP address, OtherName, and DirectoryName, as defined in RFC 5280.
370 See mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_subject_alternative_name for
371 more information.
372 * X.509 hostname verification now partially supports URI Subject Alternate
373 Names. Only exact matching, without any normalization procedures
374 described in 7.4 of RFC5280, will result in a positive URI verification.
375 * Add function mbedtls_oid_from_numeric_string() to parse an OID from a
376 string to a DER-encoded mbedtls_asn1_buf.
377 * Add SHA-3 family hash functions.
378 * Add support to restrict AES to 128-bit keys in order to save code size.
379 A new configuration option, MBEDTLS_AES_ONLY_128_BIT_KEY_LENGTH, can be
380 used to enable this feature.
381 * AES performance improvements. Uplift varies by platform,
382 toolchain, optimisation flags and mode.
383 Aarch64, gcc -Os and CCM, GCM and XTS benefit the most.
384 On Aarch64, uplift is typically around 20 - 110%.
385 When compiling with gcc -Os on Aarch64, AES-XTS improves
386 by 4.5x.
387 * Add support for PBKDF2-HMAC through the PSA API.
388 * New symbols PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy and
389 MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy (where xxx is either ECC, RSA
390 or DH) were introduced in order to have finer accuracy in defining the
391 PSA capabilities for each key. These capabilities, named yyy above, can be
392 any of: BASIC, IMPORT, EXPORT, GENERATE, DERIVE.
393 - DERIVE is only available for ECC keys, not for RSA or DH ones.
394 - implementations are free to enable more than what it was strictly
395 requested. For example BASIC internally enables IMPORT and EXPORT
396 (useful for testing purposes), but this might change in the future.
397 * Add support for FFDH key exchange in TLS 1.3.
398 This is automatically enabled as soon as PSA_WANT_ALG_FFDH
399 and the ephemeral or psk-ephemeral key exchange mode are enabled.
400 By default, all groups are offered; the list of groups can be
401 configured using the existing API function mbedtls_ssl_conf_groups().
402 * Improve mbedtls_x509_time performance and reduce memory use.
403 * Reduce syscalls to time() during certificate verification.
404 * Allow MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE and MBEDTLS_USER_CONFIG_FILE to be set by
405 setting the CMake variable of the same name at configuration time.
406 * Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_cache_get_timeout()) to access
407 `mbedtls_ssl_cache_context.timeout`.
408 * Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_get_hostname()) to access
409 `mbedtls_ssl_context.hostname`.
410 * Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_conf_get_endpoint()) to access
411 `mbedtls_ssl_config.endpoint`.
412 * Support for "opaque" (PSA-held) ECC keys in the PK module has been
413 extended: it is now possible to use mbedtls_pk_write_key_der(),
414 mbedtls_pk_write_key_pem(), mbedtls_pk_check_pair(), and
415 mbedtls_pk_verify() with opaque ECC keys (provided the PSA attributes
416 allow it).
417 * The documentation of mbedtls_ecp_group now describes the optimized
418 representation of A for some curves. Fixes #8045.
419 * Add a possibility to generate CSR's with RCF822 and directoryName subtype
420 of subjectAltName extension in x509 certificates.
421 * Add support for PBKDF2-CMAC through the PSA API.
422 * New configuration option MBEDTLS_AES_USE_HARDWARE_ONLY introduced. When
423 using CPU-accelerated AES (e.g., Arm Crypto Extensions), this option
424 disables the plain C implementation and the run-time detection for the
425 CPU feature, which reduces code size and avoids the vulnerability of the
426 plain C implementation.
427 * Accept arbitrary AttributeType and AttributeValue in certificate
428 Distinguished Names using RFC 4514 syntax.
429 * Applications using ECC over secp256r1 through the PSA API can use a
430 new implementation with a much smaller footprint, but some minor
431 usage restrictions. See the documentation of the new configuration
432 option MBEDTLS_PSA_P256M_DRIVER_ENABLED for details.
433
434Security
435 * Fix a case where potentially sensitive information held in memory would not
436 be completely zeroized during TLS 1.2 handshake, in both server and client
437 configurations.
438 * In configurations with ARIA or Camellia but not AES, the value of
439 MBEDTLS_CIPHER_BLKSIZE_MAX was 8, rather than 16 as the name might
440 suggest. This did not affect any library code, because this macro was
441 only used in relation with CMAC which does not support these ciphers.
442 This may affect application code that uses this macro.
443 * Developers using mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() or mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe() should
444 review the size of the output buffer passed to this function, and note
445 that the output after decryption may include CBC padding. Consider moving
446 to the new functions mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2_ext() or mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe_ext()
447 which checks for overflow of the output buffer and reports the actual
448 length of the output.
449 * Improve padding calculations in CBC decryption, NIST key unwrapping and
450 RSA OAEP decryption. With the previous implementation, some compilers
451 (notably recent versions of Clang and IAR) could produce non-constant
452 time code, which could allow a padding oracle attack if the attacker
453 has access to precise timing measurements.
454 * Updates to constant-time C code so that compilers are less likely to use
455 conditional instructions, which can have an observable difference in
456 timing. (Clang has been seen to do this.) Also introduce assembly
457 implementations for 32- and 64-bit Arm and for x86 and x86-64, which are
458 guaranteed not to use conditional instructions.
459 * Fix definition of MBEDTLS_MD_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE, which was too
460 small when MBEDTLS_SHA384_C was defined and MBEDTLS_SHA512_C was
461 undefined. Mbed TLS itself was unaffected by this, but user code
462 which used MBEDTLS_MD_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE could be affected. The only
463 release containing this bug was Mbed TLS 3.4.0.
464 * Fix a buffer overread when parsing short TLS application data records in
465 null-cipher cipher suites. Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
466 * Fix a remotely exploitable heap buffer overflow in TLS handshake parsing.
467 In TLS 1.3, all configurations are affected except PSK-only ones, and
468 both clients and servers are affected.
469 In TLS 1.2, the affected configurations are those with
470 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO and ECDH enabled but DHM and RSA disabled,
471 and only servers are affected, not clients.
472 Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
473
474Bugfix
475 * Fix proper sizing for PSA_EXPORT_[KEY_PAIR/PUBLIC_KEY]_MAX_SIZE and
476 PSA_SIGNATURE_MAX_SIZE buffers when at least one accelerated EC is bigger
477 than all built-in ones and RSA is disabled.
478 Resolves #6622.
479 * Add missing md.h includes to some of the external programs from
480 the programs directory. Without this, even though the configuration
481 was sufficient for a particular program to work, it would only print
482 a message that one of the required defines is missing.
483 * Fix declaration of mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det_restartable() function
484 in the ecdsa.h header file. There was a build warning when the
485 configuration macro MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT was defined.
486 Resolves #7407.
487 * Fix an error when MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT is defined but not
488 MBEDTLS_ECDSA_VERIFY_ALT, causing ecdsa verify to fail. Fixes #7498.
489 * Fix missing PSA initialization in sample programs when
490 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
491 * Fix the J-PAKE driver interface for user and peer to accept any values
492 (previously accepted values were limited to "client" or "server").
493 * Fix clang and armclang compilation error when targeting certain Arm
494 M-class CPUs (Cortex-M0, Cortex-M0+, Cortex-M1, Cortex-M23,
495 SecurCore SC000). Fixes #1077.
496 * Fix "unterminated '#pragma clang attribute push'" in sha256/sha512.c when
497 built with MBEDTLS_SHAxxx_USE_A64_CRYPTO_IF_PRESENT but don't have a
498 way to detect the crypto extensions required. A warning is still issued.
499 * Fixed an issue that caused compile errors when using CMake and the IAR
500 toolchain.
501 * Fix very high stack usage in SSL debug code. Reported by Maximilian
502 Gerhardt in #7804.
503 * Fix a compilation failure in the constant_time module when
504 building for arm64_32 (e.g., for watchos). Reported by Paulo
505 Coutinho in #7787.
506 * Fix crypt_and_hash decryption fail when used with a stream cipher
507 mode of operation due to the input not being multiple of block size.
508 Resolves #7417.
509 * Fix a bug in which mbedtls_x509_string_to_names() would return success
510 when given a invalid name string if it did not contain '=' or ','.
511 * Fix compilation warnings in aes.c, which prevented the
512 example TF-M configuration in configs/ from building cleanly:
513 tfm_mbedcrypto_config_profile_medium.h with
514 crypto_config_profile_medium.h.
515 * In TLS 1.3, fix handshake failure when a client in its ClientHello
516 proposes an handshake based on PSK only key exchange mode or at least
517 one of the key exchange modes using ephemeral keys to a server that
518 supports only the PSK key exchange mode.
519 * Fix CCM* with no tag being not supported in a build with CCM as the only
520 symmetric encryption algorithm and the PSA configuration enabled.
521 * Fix the build with MBEDTLS_PSA_INJECT_ENTROPY. Fixes #7516.
522 * Fix a compilation error on some platforms when including mbedtls/ssl.h
523 with all TLS support disabled. Fixes #6628.
524 * Fix x509 certificate generation to conform to RFC 5480 / RFC 5758 when
525 using ECC key. The certificate was rejected by some crypto frameworks.
526 Fixes #2924.
527 * Fix a potential corruption of the passed-in IV when mbedtls_aes_crypt_cbc()
528 is called with zero length and padlock is not enabled.
529 * Fix compile failure due to empty enum in cipher_wrap.c, when building
530 with a very minimal configuration. Fixes #7625.
531 * Fix some cases where mbedtls_mpi_mod_exp, RSA key construction or ECDSA
532 signature can silently return an incorrect result in low memory conditions.
533 * Don't try to include MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_USER_CONFIG_FILE when
534 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is disabled.
535 * Fix IAR compiler warnings.
536 * Fix an issue when parsing an otherName subject alternative name into a
537 mbedtls_x509_san_other_name struct. The type-id of the otherName was not
538 copied to the struct. This meant that the struct had incomplete
539 information about the otherName SAN and contained uninitialized memory.
540 * Fix the detection of HardwareModuleName otherName SANs. These were being
541 detected by comparing the wrong field and the check was erroneously
542 inverted.
543 * Fix a build error in some configurations with MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG
544 enabled, where some low-level modules required by requested PSA crypto
545 features were not getting automatically enabled. Fixes #7420.
546 * Fix undefined symbols in some builds using TLS 1.3 with a custom
547 configuration file.
548 * Fix log level for the got supported group message. Fixes #6765
549 * Functions in the ssl_cache module now return a negative MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx
550 error code on failure. Before, they returned 1 to indicate failure in
551 some cases involving a missing entry or a full cache.
552 * mbedtls_pk_parse_key() now rejects trailing garbage in encrypted keys.
553 * Fix the build with CMake when Everest or P256-m is enabled through
554 a user configuration file or the compiler command line. Fixes #8165.
555
556Changes
557 * Enable Arm / Thumb bignum assembly for most Arm platforms when
558 compiling with gcc, clang or armclang and -O0.
559 * Enforce minimum RSA key size when generating a key
560 to avoid accidental misuse.
561 * Use heap memory to allocate DER encoded RSA private key.
562 This reduces stack usage significantly for RSA signature
563 operations when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C is defined.
564 * Update Windows code to use BCryptGenRandom and wcslen, and
565 ensure that conversions between size_t, ULONG, and int are
566 always done safely. Original contribution by Kevin Kane #635, #730
567 followed by Simon Butcher #1453.
568 * Users integrating their own PSA drivers should be aware that
569 the file library/psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.c has been renamed
570 to psa_crypto_driver_wrappers_no_static.c.
571 * When using CBC with the cipher module, the requirement to call
572 mbedtls_cipher_set_padding_mode() is now enforced. Previously, omitting
573 this call accidentally applied a default padding mode chosen at compile
574 time.

584= Mbed TLS 3.4.0 branch released 2023-03-28
585
586Default behavior changes
587 * The default priority order of TLS 1.3 cipher suites has been modified to
588 follow the same rules as the TLS 1.2 cipher suites (see
589 ssl_ciphersuites.c). The preferred cipher suite is now
590 TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256.
591
592New deprecations
593 * mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial() is now being deprecated in favor of
594 mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial_raw(). The goal here is to remove any
595 direct dependency of X509 on BIGNUM_C.
596 * PSA to mbedtls error translation is now unified in psa_util.h,
597 deprecating mbedtls_md_error_from_psa. Each file that performs error
598 translation should define its own version of PSA_TO_MBEDTLS_ERR,
599 optionally providing file-specific error pairs. Please see psa_util.h for
600 more details.
601
602Features
603 * Added partial support for parsing the PKCS #7 Cryptographic Message
604 Syntax, as defined in RFC 2315. Currently, support is limited to the
605 following:
606 - Only the signed-data content type, version 1 is supported.
607 - Only DER encoding is supported.
608 - Only a single digest algorithm per message is supported.
609 - Certificates must be in X.509 format. A message must have either 0
610 or 1 certificates.
611 - There is no support for certificate revocation lists.
612 - The authenticated and unauthenticated attribute fields of SignerInfo
613 must be empty.
614 Many thanks to Daniel Axtens, Nayna Jain, and Nick Child from IBM for
615 contributing this feature, and to Demi-Marie Obenour for contributing
616 various improvements, tests and bug fixes.
617 * General performance improvements by accessing multiple bytes at a time.
618 Fixes #1666.
619 * Improvements to use of unaligned and byte-swapped memory, reducing code
620 size and improving performance (depending on compiler and target
621 architecture).
622 * Add support for reading points in compressed format
623 (MBEDTLS_ECP_PF_COMPRESSED) with mbedtls_ecp_point_read_binary()
624 (and callers) for Short Weierstrass curves with prime p where p = 3 mod 4
625 (all mbedtls MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP* and MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_BP* curves
626 except MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP224R1 and MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP224K1)
627 * SHA224_C/SHA384_C are now independent from SHA384_C/SHA512_C respectively.
628 This helps in saving code size when some of the above hashes are not
629 required.
630 * Add parsing of V3 extensions (key usage, Netscape cert-type,
631 Subject Alternative Names) in x509 Certificate Sign Requests.
632 * Use HOSTCC (if it is set) when compiling C code during generation of the
633 configuration-independent files. This allows them to be generated when
634 CC is set for cross compilation.
635 * Add parsing of uniformResourceIdentifier subtype for subjectAltName
636 extension in x509 certificates.
637 * Add an interruptible version of sign and verify hash to the PSA interface,
638 backed by internal library support for ECDSA signing and verification.
639 * Add parsing of rfc822Name subtype for subjectAltName
640 extension in x509 certificates.
641 * The configuration macros MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_PLATFORM_FILE and
642 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_STRUCT_FILE specify alternative locations for
643 the headers "psa/crypto_platform.h" and "psa/crypto_struct.h".
644 * When a PSA driver for ECDSA is present, it is now possible to disable
645 MBEDTLS_ECDSA_C in the build in order to save code size. For PK, X.509
646 and TLS to fully work, this requires MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO to be enabled.
647 Restartable/interruptible ECDSA operations in PK, X.509 and TLS are not
648 supported in those builds yet, as driver support for interruptible ECDSA
649 operations is not present yet.
650 * Add a driver dispatch layer for EC J-PAKE, enabling alternative
651 implementations of EC J-PAKE through the driver entry points.
652 * Add new API mbedtls_ssl_cache_remove for cache entry removal by
653 its session id.
654 * Add support to include the SubjectAltName extension to a CSR.
655 * Add support for AES with the Armv8-A Cryptographic Extension on
656 64-bit Arm. A new configuration option, MBEDTLS_AESCE_C, can
657 be used to enable this feature. Run-time detection is supported
658 under Linux only.
659 * When a PSA driver for EC J-PAKE is present, it is now possible to disable
660 MBEDTLS_ECJPAKE_C in the build in order to save code size. For the
661 corresponding TLS 1.2 key exchange to work, MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO needs
662 to be enabled.
663 * Add functions mbedtls_rsa_get_padding_mode() and mbedtls_rsa_get_md_alg()
664 to read non-public fields for padding mode and hash id from
665 an mbedtls_rsa_context, as requested in #6917.
666 * AES-NI is now supported with Visual Studio.
667 * AES-NI is now supported in 32-bit builds, or when MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM
668 is disabled, when compiling with GCC or Clang or a compatible compiler
669 for a target CPU that supports the requisite instructions (for example
670 gcc -m32 -msse2 -maes -mpclmul). (Generic x86 builds with GCC-like
671 compilers still require MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM and a 64-bit target.)
672 * It is now possible to use a PSA-held (opaque) password with the TLS 1.2
673 ECJPAKE key exchange, using the new API function
674 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_ecjpake_password_opaque().
675
676Security
677 * Use platform-provided secure zeroization function where possible, such as
678 explicit_bzero().
679 * Zeroize SSL cache entries when they are freed.
680 * Fix a potential heap buffer overread in TLS 1.3 client-side when
681 MBEDTLS_DEBUG_C is enabled. This may result in an application crash.
682 * Add support for AES with the Armv8-A Cryptographic Extension on 64-bit
683 Arm, so that these systems are no longer vulnerable to timing side-channel
684 attacks. This is configured by MBEDTLS_AESCE_C, which is on by default.
685 Reported by Demi Marie Obenour.
686 * MBEDTLS_AESNI_C, which is enabled by default, was silently ignored on
687 builds that couldn't compile the GCC-style assembly implementation
688 (most notably builds with Visual Studio), leaving them vulnerable to
689 timing side-channel attacks. There is now an intrinsics-based AES-NI
690 implementation as a fallback for when the assembly one cannot be used.
691
692Bugfix
693 * Fix possible integer overflow in mbedtls_timing_hardclock(), which
694 could cause a crash in programs/test/benchmark.
695 * Fix IAR compiler warnings. Fixes #6924.
696 * Fix a bug in the build where directory names containing spaces were
697 causing generate_errors.pl to error out resulting in a build failure.
698 Fixes issue #6879.
699 * In TLS 1.3, when using a ticket for session resumption, tweak its age
700 calculation on the client side. It prevents a server with more accurate
701 ticket timestamps (typically timestamps in milliseconds) compared to the
702 Mbed TLS ticket timestamps (in seconds) to compute a ticket age smaller
703 than the age computed and transmitted by the client and thus potentially
704 reject the ticket. Fix #6623.
705 * Fix compile error where MBEDTLS_RSA_C and MBEDTLS_X509_CRT_WRITE_C are
706 defined, but MBEDTLS_PK_RSA_ALT_SUPPORT is not defined. Fixes #3174.
707 * List PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG in psa/crypto_config.h so that it can
708 be toggled with config.py.
709 * The key derivation algorithm PSA_ALG_TLS12_ECJPAKE_TO_PMS cannot be
710 used on a shared secret from a key agreement since its input must be
711 an ECC public key. Reject this properly.
712 * mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial() now explicitly rejects serial numbers
713 whose binary representation is longer than 20 bytes. This was already
714 forbidden by the standard (RFC5280 - section 4.1.2.2) and now it's being
715 enforced also at code level.
716 * Fix potential undefined behavior in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs(). Reported by
717 Pascal Cuoq using TrustInSoft Analyzer in #6701; observed independently by
718 Aaron Ucko under Valgrind.
719 * Fix behavior of certain sample programs which could, when run with no
720 arguments, access uninitialized memory in some cases. Fixes #6700 (which
721 was found by TrustInSoft Analyzer during REDOCS'22) and #1120.
722 * Fix parsing of X.509 SubjectAlternativeName extension. Previously,
723 malformed alternative name components were not caught during initial
724 certificate parsing, but only on subsequent calls to
725 mbedtls_x509_parse_subject_alt_name(). Fixes #2838.
726 * Make the fields of mbedtls_pk_rsassa_pss_options public. This makes it
727 possible to verify RSA PSS signatures with the pk module, which was
728 inadvertently broken since Mbed TLS 3.0.
729 * Fix bug in conversion from OID to string in
730 mbedtls_oid_get_numeric_string(). OIDs such as 2.40.0.25 are now printed
731 correctly.
732 * Reject OIDs with overlong-encoded subidentifiers when converting
733 them to a string.
734 * Reject OIDs with subidentifier values exceeding UINT_MAX. Such
735 subidentifiers can be valid, but Mbed TLS cannot currently handle them.
736 * Reject OIDs that have unterminated subidentifiers, or (equivalently)
737 have the most-significant bit set in their last byte.
738 * Silence warnings from clang -Wdocumentation about empty \retval
739 descriptions, which started appearing with Clang 15. Fixes #6960.
740 * Fix the handling of renegotiation attempts in TLS 1.3. They are now
741 systematically rejected.
742 * Fix an unused-variable warning in TLS 1.3-only builds if
743 MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION was enabled. Fixes #6200.
744 * Fix undefined behavior in mbedtls_ssl_read() and mbedtls_ssl_write() if
745 len argument is 0 and buffer is NULL.
746 * Allow setting user and peer identifiers for EC J-PAKE operation
747 instead of role in PAKE PSA Crypto API as described in the specification.
748 This is a partial fix that allows only "client" and "server" identifiers.
749 * Fix a compilation error when PSA Crypto is built with support for
750 TLS12_PRF but not TLS12_PSK_TO_MS. Reported by joerchan in #7125.
751 * In the TLS 1.3 server, select the preferred client cipher suite, not the
752 least preferred. The selection error was introduced in Mbed TLS 3.3.0.
753 * Fix TLS 1.3 session resumption when the established pre-shared key is
754 384 bits long. That is the length of pre-shared keys created under a
755 session where the cipher suite is TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384.
756 * Fix an issue when compiling with MBEDTLS_SHA512_USE_A64_CRYPTO_IF_PRESENT
757 enabled, which required specifying compiler flags enabling SHA3 Crypto
758 Extensions, where some compilers would emit EOR3 instructions in other
759 modules, which would then fail if run on a CPU without the SHA3
760 extensions. Fixes #5758.
761
762Changes
763 * Install the .cmake files into CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR/cmake/MbedTLS,
764 typically /usr/lib/cmake/MbedTLS.
765 * Mixed-endian systems are explicitly not supported any more.
766 * When MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO and MBEDTLS_ECDSA_DETERMINISTIC are both
767 defined, mbedtls_pk_sign() now use deterministic ECDSA for ECDSA
768 signatures. This aligns the behaviour with MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO to
769 the behaviour without it, where deterministic ECDSA was already used.
770 * Visual Studio: Rename the directory containing Visual Studio files from
771 visualc/VS2010 to visualc/VS2013 as we do not support building with versions
772 older than 2013. Update the solution file to specify VS2013 as a minimum.
773 * programs/x509/cert_write:
774 - now it accepts the serial number in 2 different formats: decimal and
775 hex. They cannot be used simultaneously
776 - "serial" is used for the decimal format and it's limted in size to
777 unsigned long long int
778 - "serial_hex" is used for the hex format; max length here is
779 MBEDTLS_X509_RFC5280_MAX_SERIAL_LEN*2
780 * The C code follows a new coding style. This is transparent for users but
781 affects contributors and maintainers of local patches. For more
782 information, see
783 https://mbed-tls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kb/how-to/rewrite-branch-for-coding-style/
784 * Changed the default MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE from 6 to 2.
785 As tested in issue 6790, the correlation between this define and
786 RSA decryption performance has changed lately due to security fixes.
787 To fix the performance degradation when using default values the
788 window was reduced from 6 to 2, a value that gives the best or close
789 to best results when tested on Cortex-M4 and Intel i7.
790 * When enabling MBEDTLS_SHA256_USE_A64_CRYPTO_* or
791 MBEDTLS_SHA512_USE_A64_CRYPTO_*, it is no longer necessary to specify
792 compiler target flags on the command line; the library now sets target
793 options within the appropriate modules.
794
795= Mbed TLS 3.3.0 branch released 2022-12-14
796
797Default behavior changes
798 * Previously the macro MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID implemented version 05
799 of the IETF draft, and was marked experimental and disabled by default.
800 It is now no longer experimental, and implements the final version from
801 RFC 9146, which is not interoperable with the draft-05 version.
802 If you need to communicate with peers that use earlier versions of
803 Mbed TLS, then you need to define MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID_COMPAT
804 to 1, but then you won't be able to communicate with peers that use the
805 standard (non-draft) version.
806 If you need to interoperate with both classes of peers with the
807 same build of Mbed TLS, please let us know about your situation on the
808 mailing list or GitHub.
809
810Requirement changes
811 * When building with PSA drivers using generate_driver_wrappers.py, or
812 when building the library from the development branch rather than
813 from a release, the Python module jsonschema is now necessary, in
814 addition to jinja2. The official list of required Python modules is
815 maintained in scripts/basic.requirements.txt and may change again
816 in the future.
817
818New deprecations
819 * Deprecate mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data().
820 Use mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list()
821 or mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list_shallow().
822
823Features
824 * Support rsa_pss_rsae_* signature algorithms in TLS 1.2.
825 * make: enable building unversioned shared library, with e.g.:
826 "SHARED=1 SOEXT_TLS=so SOEXT_X509=so SOEXT_CRYPTO=so make lib"
827 resulting in library names like "libmbedtls.so" rather than
828 "libmbedcrypto.so.11".
829 * Expose the EC J-PAKE functionality through the Draft PSA PAKE Crypto API.
830 Only the ECC primitive with secp256r1 curve and SHA-256 hash algorithm
831 are supported in this implementation.
832 * Some modules can now use PSA drivers for hashes, including with no
833 built-in implementation present, but only in some configurations.
834 - RSA OAEP and PSS (PKCS#1 v2.1), PKCS5, PKCS12 and EC J-PAKE now use
835 hashes from PSA when (and only when) MBEDTLS_MD_C is disabled.
836 - PEM parsing of encrypted files now uses MD-5 from PSA when (and only
837 when) MBEDTLS_MD5_C is disabled.
838 See the documentation of the corresponding macros in mbedtls_config.h for
839 details.
840 Note that some modules are not able to use hashes from PSA yet, including
841 the entropy module. As a consequence, for now the only way to build with
842 all hashes only provided by drivers (no built-in hash) is to use
843 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG.
844 * When MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled, X.509, TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 now
845 properly negotiate/accept hashes based on their availability in PSA.
846 As a consequence, they now work in configurations where the built-in
847 implementations of (some) hashes are excluded and those hashes are only
848 provided by PSA drivers. (See previous entry for limitation on RSA-PSS
849 though: that module only use hashes from PSA when MBEDTLS_MD_C is off).
850 * Add support for opaque keys as the private keys associated to certificates
851 for authentication in TLS 1.3.
852 * Add the LMS post-quantum-safe stateful-hash asymmetric signature scheme.
853 Signature verification is production-ready, but generation is for testing
854 purposes only. This currently only supports one parameter set
855 (LMS_SHA256_M32_H10), meaning that each private key can be used to sign
856 1024 messages. As such, it is not intended for use in TLS, but instead
857 for verification of assets transmitted over an insecure channel,
858 particularly firmware images.
859 * Add the LM-OTS post-quantum-safe one-time signature scheme, which is
860 required for LMS. This can be used independently, but each key can only
861 be used to sign one message so is impractical for most circumstances.
862 * Mbed TLS now supports TLS 1.3 key establishment via pre-shared keys.
863 The pre-shared keys can be provisioned externally or via the ticket
864 mechanism (session resumption).
865 The ticket mechanism is supported when the configuration option
866 MBEDTLS_SSL_SESSION_TICKETS is enabled.
867 New options MBEDTLS_SSL_TLS1_3_KEY_EXCHANGE_MODE_xxx_ENABLED
868 control the support for the three possible TLS 1.3 key exchange modes.
869 * cert_write: support for setting extended key usage attributes. A
870 corresponding new public API call has been added in the library,
871 mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_ext_key_usage().
872 * cert_write: support for writing certificate files in either PEM
873 or DER format.
874 * The PSA driver wrapper generator generate_driver_wrappers.py now
875 supports a subset of the driver description language, including
876 the following entry points: import_key, export_key, export_public_key,
877 get_builtin_key, copy_key.
878 * The new functions mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list() and
879 mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list_shallow() simplify the management
880 of memory in named data lists in X.509 structures.
881 * The TLS 1.2 EC J-PAKE key exchange can now use the PSA Crypto API.
882 Additional PSA key slots will be allocated in the process of such key
883 exchange for builds that enable MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECJPAKE_ENABLED and
884 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO.
885 * Add support for DTLS Connection ID as defined by RFC 9146, controlled by
886 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID (enabled by default) and configured with
887 mbedtls_ssl_set_cid().
888 * Add a driver dispatch layer for raw key agreement, enabling alternative
889 implementations of raw key agreement through the key_agreement driver
890 entry point. This entry point is specified in the proposed PSA driver
891 interface, but had not yet been implemented.
892 * Add an ad-hoc key derivation function handling EC J-PAKE to PMS
893 calculation that can be used to derive the session secret in TLS 1.2,
894 as described in draft-cragie-tls-ecjpake-01. This can be achieved by
895 using PSA_ALG_TLS12_ECJPAKE_TO_PMS as the key derivation algorithm.
896
897Security
898 * Fix potential heap buffer overread and overwrite in DTLS if
899 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID is enabled and
900 MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_IN_LEN_MAX > 2 * MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_OUT_LEN_MAX.
901 * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough information
902 about memory accesses (typically, an untrusted operating system attacking
903 a secure enclave) could recover an RSA private key after observing the
904 victim performing a single private-key operation if the window size used
905 for the exponentiation was 3 or smaller. Found and reported by Zili KOU,
906 Wenjian HE, Sharad Sinha, and Wei ZHANG. See "Cache Side-channel Attacks
907 and Defenses of the Sliding Window Algorithm in TEEs" - Design, Automation
908 and Test in Europe 2023.
909
910Bugfix
911 * Refactor mbedtls_aes_context to support shallow-copying. Fixes #2147.
912 * Fix an issue with in-tree CMake builds in releases with GEN_FILES
913 turned off: if a shipped file was missing from the working directory,
914 it could be turned into a symbolic link to itself.
915 * Fix a long-standing build failure when building x86 PIC code with old
916 gcc (4.x). The code will be slower, but will compile. We do however
917 recommend upgrading to a more recent compiler instead. Fixes #1910.
918 * Fix support for little-endian Microblaze when MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM is defined.
919 Contributed by Kazuyuki Kimura to fix #2020.
920 * Use double quotes to include private header file psa_crypto_cipher.h.
921 Fixes 'file not found with <angled> include' error
922 when building with Xcode.
923 * Fix handling of broken symlinks when loading certificates using
924 mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path(). Instead of returning an error as soon as a
925 broken link is encountered, skip the broken link and continue parsing
926 other certificate files. Contributed by Eduardo Silva in #2602.
927 * Fix an interoperability failure between an Mbed TLS client with both
928 TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 support, and a TLS 1.2 server that supports
929 rsa_pss_rsae_* signature algorithms. This failed because Mbed TLS
930 advertised support for PSS in both TLS 1.2 and 1.3, but only
931 actually supported PSS in TLS 1.3.
932 * Fix a compilation error when using CMake with an IAR toolchain.
933 Fixes #5964.
934 * Fix a build error due to a missing prototype warning when
935 MBEDTLS_DEPRECATED_REMOVED is enabled.
936 * Fix mbedtls_ctr_drbg_free() on an initialized but unseeded context. When
937 MBEDTLS_AES_ALT is enabled, it could call mbedtls_aes_free() on an
938 uninitialized context.
939 * Fix a build issue on Windows using CMake where the source and build
940 directories could not be on different drives. Fixes #5751.
941 * Fix bugs and missing dependencies when building and testing
942 configurations with only one encryption type enabled in TLS 1.2.
943 * Provide the missing definition of mbedtls_setbuf() in some configurations
944 with MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_C disabled. Fixes #6118, #6196.
945 * Fix compilation errors when trying to build with
946 PSA drivers for AEAD (GCM, CCM, Chacha20-Poly1305).
947 * Fix memory leak in ssl_parse_certificate_request() caused by
948 mbedtls_x509_get_name() not freeing allocated objects in case of error.
949 Change mbedtls_x509_get_name() to clean up allocated objects on error.
950 * Fix build failure with MBEDTLS_RSA_C and MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C but not
951 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO or MBEDTLS_PK_WRITE_C. Fixes #6408.
952 * Fix build failure with MBEDTLS_RSA_C and MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C but not
953 MBEDTLS_PK_PARSE_C. Fixes #6409.
954 * Fix ECDSA verification, where it was not always validating the
955 public key. This bug meant that it was possible to verify a
956 signature with an invalid public key, in some cases. Reported by
957 Guido Vranken using Cryptofuzz in #4420.
958 * Fix a possible null pointer dereference if a memory allocation fails
959 in TLS PRF code. Reported by Michael Madsen in #6516.
960 * Fix TLS 1.3 session resumption. Fixes #6488.
961 * Add a configuration check to exclude optional client authentication
962 in TLS 1.3 (where it is forbidden).
963 * Fix a bug in which mbedtls_x509_crt_info() would produce non-printable
964 bytes when parsing certificates containing a binary RFC 4108
965 HardwareModuleName as a Subject Alternative Name extension. Hardware
966 serial numbers are now rendered in hex format. Fixes #6262.
967 * Fix bug in error reporting in dh_genprime.c where upon failure,
968 the error code returned by mbedtls_mpi_write_file() is overwritten
969 and therefore not printed.
970 * In the bignum module, operations of the form (-A) - (+A) or (-A) - (-A)
971 with A > 0 created an unintended representation of the value 0 which was
972 not processed correctly by some bignum operations. Fix this. This had no
973 consequence on cryptography code, but might affect applications that call
974 bignum directly and use negative numbers.
975 * Fix a bug whereby the list of signature algorithms sent as part of
976 the TLS 1.2 server certificate request would get corrupted, meaning the
977 first algorithm would not get sent and an entry consisting of two random
978 bytes would be sent instead. Found by Serban Bejan and Dudek Sebastian.
979 * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) of
980 mbedtls_mpi_add_mpi(), mbedtls_mpi_add_abs() and mbedtls_mpi_add_int()
981 when both operands are 0 and the left operand is represented with 0 limbs.
982 * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) when some bignum
983 functions receive the most negative value of mbedtls_mpi_sint. Credit
984 to OSS-Fuzz. Fixes #6597.
985 * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) in PSA ECB
986 encryption and decryption.
987 * Move some SSL-specific code out of libmbedcrypto where it had been placed
988 accidentally.
989 * Fix a build error when compiling the bignum module for some Arm platforms.
990 Fixes #6089, #6124, #6217.
991
992Changes
993 * Add the ability to query PSA_WANT_xxx macros to query_compile_time_config.
994 * Calling AEAD tag-specific functions for non-AEAD algorithms (which
995 should not be done - they are documented for use only by AES-GCM and
996 ChaCha20+Poly1305) now returns MBEDTLS_ERR_CIPHER_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE
997 instead of success (0).
998
999= Mbed TLS 3.2.1 branch released 2022-07-12
1000
1001Bugfix
1002 * Re-add missing generated file library/psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.c
1003
1004= Mbed TLS 3.2.0 branch released 2022-07-11
1005
1006Default behavior changes
1007 * mbedtls_cipher_set_iv will now fail with ChaCha20 and ChaCha20+Poly1305
1008 for IV lengths other than 12. The library was silently overwriting this
1009 length with 12, but did not inform the caller about it. Fixes #4301.
1010
1011Requirement changes
1012 * The library will no longer compile out of the box on a platform without
1013 setbuf(). If your platform does not have setbuf(), you can configure an
1014 alternative function by enabling MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETBUF_ALT or
1015 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETBUF_MACRO.
1016
1017New deprecations
1018 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version() and
1019 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version() in favor of
1020 mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_tls_version() and
1021 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_tls_version().
1022 * Deprecate mbedtls_cipher_setup_psa(). Use psa_aead_xxx() or
1023 psa_cipher_xxx() directly instead.
1024 * Secure element drivers enabled by MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C are deprecated.
1025 This was intended as an experimental feature, but had not been explicitly
1026 documented as such. Use opaque drivers with the interface enabled by
1027 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVERS instead.
1028 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_hashes() in favor of the more generic
1029 mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_algs(). Signature algorithms for the TLS 1.2 and
1030 TLS 1.3 handshake should now be configured with
1031 mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_algs().
1032
1033Features
1034 * Add accessor to obtain ciphersuite id from ssl context.
1035 * Add accessors to get members from ciphersuite info.
1036 * Add mbedtls_ssl_ticket_rotate() for external ticket rotation.
1037 * Add accessor to get the raw buffer pointer from a PEM context.
1038 * The structures mbedtls_ssl_config and mbedtls_ssl_context now store
1039 a piece of user data which is reserved for the application. The user
1040 data can be either a pointer or an integer.
1041 * Add an accessor function to get the configuration associated with
1042 an SSL context.
1043 * Add a function to access the protocol version from an SSL context in a
1044 form that's easy to compare. Fixes #5407.
1045 * Add function mbedtls_md_info_from_ctx() to recall the message digest
1046 information that was used to set up a message digest context.
1047 * Add ALPN support in TLS 1.3 clients.
1048 * Add server certificate selection callback near end of Client Hello.
1049 Register callback with mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_cb().
1050 * Provide mechanism to reset handshake cert list by calling
1051 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_own_cert() with NULL value for own_cert param.
1052 * Add accessor mbedtls_ssl_get_hs_sni() to retrieve SNI from within
1053 cert callback (mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_cb()) during handshake.
1054 * The X.509 module now uses PSA hash acceleration if present.
1055 * Add support for psa crypto key derivation for elliptic curve
1056 keys. Fixes #3260.
1057 * Add function mbedtls_timing_get_final_delay() to access the private
1058 final delay field in an mbedtls_timing_delay_context, as requested in
1059 #5183.
1060 * Add mbedtls_pk_sign_ext() which allows generating RSA-PSS signatures when
1061 PSA Crypto is enabled.
1062 * Add function mbedtls_ecp_export() to export ECP key pair parameters.
1063 Fixes #4838.
1064 * Add function mbedtls_ssl_is_handshake_over() to enable querying if the SSL
1065 Handshake has completed or not, and thus whether to continue calling
1066 mbedtls_ssl_handshake_step(), requested in #4383.
1067 * Add the function mbedtls_ssl_get_own_cid() to access our own connection id
1068 within mbedtls_ssl_context, as requested in #5184.
1069 * Introduce mbedtls_ssl_hs_cb_t typedef for use with
1070 mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_cb() and perhaps future callbacks
1071 during TLS handshake.
1072 * Add functions mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_tls_version() and
1073 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_tls_version() that use a single value to specify
1074 the protocol version.
1075 * Extend the existing PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS() algorithm to support
1076 mixed-PSK. Add an optional input PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_OTHER_SECRET
1077 holding the other secret.
1078 * When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is enabled, you may list the PSA crypto
1079 feature requirements in the file named by the new macro
1080 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG_FILE instead of the default psa/crypto_config.h.
1081 Furthermore you may name an additional file to include after the main
1082 file with the macro MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_USER_CONFIG_FILE.
1083 * Add the function mbedtls_x509_crt_has_ext_type() to access the ext types
1084 field within mbedtls_x509_crt context, as requested in #5585.
1085 * Add HKDF-Expand and HKDF-Extract as separate algorithms in the PSA API.
1086 * Add support for the ARMv8 SHA-2 acceleration instructions when building
1087 for Aarch64.
1088 * Add support for authentication of TLS 1.3 clients by TLS 1.3 servers.
1089 * Add support for server HelloRetryRequest message. The TLS 1.3 client is
1090 now capable of negotiating another shared secret if the one sent in its
1091 first ClientHello was not suitable to the server.
1092 * Add support for client-side TLS version negotiation. If both TLS 1.2 and
1093 TLS 1.3 protocols are enabled in the build of Mbed TLS, the TLS client now
1094 negotiates TLS 1.3 or TLS 1.2 with TLS servers.
1095 * Enable building of Mbed TLS with TLS 1.3 protocol support but without TLS
1096 1.2 protocol support.
1097 * Mbed TLS provides an implementation of a TLS 1.3 server (ephemeral key
1098 establishment only). See docs/architecture/tls13-support.md for a
1099 description of the support. The MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3 and
1100 MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_C configuration options control this.
1101 * Add accessors to configure DN hints for certificate request:
1102 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dn_hints() and mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_dn_hints()
1103 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO, which previously
1104 affected only a limited subset of crypto operations in TLS, X.509 and PK,
1105 now causes most of them to be done using PSA Crypto; see
1106 docs/use-psa-crypto.md for the list of exceptions.
1107 * The function mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque() now supports RSA key pairs as well.
1108 Opaque keys can now be used everywhere a private key is expected in the
1109 TLS and X.509 modules.
1110 * Opaque pre-shared keys for TLS, provisioned with
1111 mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk_opaque() or mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk_opaque(), which
1112 previously only worked for "pure" PSK key exchange, now can also be used
1113 for the "mixed" PSK key exchanges as well: ECDHE-PSK, DHE-PSK, RSA-PSK.
1114 * cmake now detects if it is being built as a sub-project, and in that case
1115 disables the target export/installation and package configuration.
1116 * Make USE_PSA_CRYPTO compatible with KEY_ID_ENCODES_OWNER. Fixes #5259.
1117 * Add example programs cipher_aead_demo.c, md_hmac_demo.c, aead_demo.c
1118 and hmac_demo.c, which use PSA and the md/cipher interfaces side
1119 by side in order to illustrate how the operation is performed in PSA.
1120 Addresses #5208.
1121
1122Security
1123 * Zeroize dynamically-allocated buffers used by the PSA Crypto key storage
1124 module before freeing them. These buffers contain secret key material, and
1125 could thus potentially leak the key through freed heap.
1126 * Fix potential memory leak inside mbedtls_ssl_cache_set() with
1127 an invalid session id length.
1128 * Add the platform function mbedtls_setbuf() to allow buffering to be
1129 disabled on stdio files, to stop secrets loaded from said files being
1130 potentially left in memory after file operations. Reported by
1131 Glenn Strauss.
1132 * Fix a potential heap buffer overread in TLS 1.2 server-side when
1133 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled, an opaque key (created with
1134 mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque()) is provisioned, and a static ECDH ciphersuite
1135 is selected. This may result in an application crash or potentially an
1136 information leak.
1137 * Fix a buffer overread in DTLS ClientHello parsing in servers with
1138 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE enabled. An unauthenticated client
1139 or a man-in-the-middle could cause a DTLS server to read up to 255 bytes
1140 after the end of the SSL input buffer. The buffer overread only happens
1141 when MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN is less than a threshold that depends on
1142 the exact configuration: 258 bytes if using mbedtls_ssl_cookie_check(),
1143 and possibly up to 571 bytes with a custom cookie check function.
1144 Reported by the Cybeats PSI Team.
1145 * Fix a buffer overread in TLS 1.3 Certificate parsing. An unauthenticated
1146 client or server could cause an MbedTLS server or client to overread up
1147 to 64 kBytes of data and potentially overread the input buffer by that
1148 amount minus the size of the input buffer. As overread data undergoes
1149 various checks, the likelihood of reaching the boundary of the input
1150 buffer is rather small but increases as its size
1151 MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN decreases.
1152 * Fix check of certificate key usage in TLS 1.3. The usage of the public key
1153 provided by a client or server certificate for authentication was not
1154 checked properly when validating the certificate. This could cause a
1155 client or server to be able to authenticate itself through a certificate
1156 to an Mbed TLS TLS 1.3 server or client while it does not own a proper
1157 certificate to do so.
1158
1159Bugfix
1160 * Declare or use PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG following the general
1161 pattern for PSA_WANT_xxx symbols. Previously you had to specify
1162 PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM for PSA_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG.
1163 * Fix a memory leak if mbedtls_ssl_config_defaults() is called twice.
1164 * Fixed swap of client and server random bytes when exporting them alongside
1165 TLS 1.3 handshake and application traffic secret.
1166 * Fix several bugs (warnings, compiler and linker errors, test failures)
1167 in reduced configurations when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
1168 * Fix a bug in (D)TLS curve negotiation: when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO was
1169 enabled and an ECDHE-ECDSA or ECDHE-RSA key exchange was used, the
1170 client would fail to check that the curve selected by the server for
1171 ECDHE was indeed one that was offered. As a result, the client would
1172 accept any curve that it supported, even if that curve was not allowed
1173 according to its configuration. Fixes #5291.
1174 * The TLS 1.3 implementation is now compatible with the
1175 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO configuration option.
1176 * Fix unit tests that used 0 as the file UID. This failed on some
1177 implementations of PSA ITS. Fixes #3838.
1178 * Fix mbedtls_ssl_get_version() not reporting TLSv1.3. Fixes #5406.
1179 * Fix API violation in mbedtls_md_process() test by adding a call to
1180 mbedtls_md_starts(). Fixes #2227.
1181 * Fix compile errors when MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME is not defined. Add tests
1182 to catch bad uses of time.h.
1183 * Fix a race condition in out-of-source builds with CMake when generated data
1184 files are already present. Fixes #5374.
1185 * Fix the library search path when building a shared library with CMake
1186 on Windows.
1187 * Fix bug in the alert sending function mbedtls_ssl_send_alert_message()
1188 potentially leading to corrupted alert messages being sent in case
1189 the function needs to be re-called after initially returning
1190 MBEDTLS_SSL_WANT_WRITE. Fixes #1916.
1191 * In configurations with MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID enabled but not
1192 MBEDTLS_DEBUG_C, DTLS handshakes using CID would crash due to a null
1193 pointer dereference. Fix this. Fixes #3998.
1194 The fix was released, but not announced, in Mbed TLS 3.1.0.
1195 * Fix incorrect documentation of mbedtls_x509_crt_profile. The previous
1196 documentation stated that the `allowed_pks` field applies to signatures
1197 only, but in fact it does apply to the public key type of the end entity
1198 certificate, too. Fixes #1992.
1199 * Fix undefined behavior in mbedtls_asn1_find_named_data(), where val is
1200 not NULL and val_len is zero.
1201 * Fix compilation error with mingw32. Fixed by Cameron Cawley in #4211.
1202 * Fix compilation error when using C++ Builder on Windows. Reported by
1203 Miroslav Mastny in #4015.
1204 * psa_raw_key_agreement() now returns PSA_ERROR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL when
1205 applicable. Fixes #5735.
1206 * Fix a bug in the x25519 example program where the removal of
1207 MBEDTLS_ECDH_LEGACY_CONTEXT caused the program not to run. Fixes #4901 and
1208 #3191.
1209 * Fix a TLS 1.3 handshake failure when the peer Finished message has not
1210 been received yet when we first try to fetch it.
1211 * Encode X.509 dates before 1/1/2000 as UTCTime rather than
1212 GeneralizedTime. Fixes #5465.
1213 * Add mbedtls_x509_dn_get_next function to return the next relative DN in
1214 an X509 name, to allow walking the name list. Fixes #5431.
1215 * Fix order value of curve x448.
1216 * Fix string representation of DNs when outputting values containing commas
1217 and other special characters, conforming to RFC 1779. Fixes #769.
1218 * Silence a warning from GCC 12 in the selftest program. Fixes #5974.
1219 * Fix check_config.h to check that we have MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE
1220 when MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3 is specified, and make this and other
1221 dependencies explicit in the documentation. Fixes #5610.
1222 * Fix mbedtls_asn1_write_mpi() writing an incorrect encoding of 0.
1223 * Fix a TLS 1.3 handshake failure when the first attempt to send the client
1224 Finished message on the network cannot be satisfied. Fixes #5499.
1225 * Fix resource leaks in mbedtls_pk_parse_public_key() in low
1226 memory conditions.
1227 * Fix server connection identifier setting for outgoing encrypted records
1228 on DTLS 1.2 session resumption. After DTLS 1.2 session resumption with
1229 connection identifier, the Mbed TLS client now properly sends the server
1230 connection identifier in encrypted record headers. Fix #5872.
1231 * Fix a null pointer dereference when performing some operations on zero
1232 represented with 0 limbs (specifically mbedtls_mpi_mod_int() dividing
1233 by 2, and mbedtls_mpi_write_string() in base 2).
1234 * Fix record sizes larger than 16384 being sometimes accepted despite being
1235 non-compliant. This could not lead to a buffer overflow. In particular,
1236 application data size was already checked correctly.
1237 * Fix MBEDTLS_SVC_KEY_ID_GET_KEY_ID() and MBEDTLS_SVC_KEY_ID_GET_OWNER_ID()
1238 which have been broken, resulting in compilation errors, since Mbed TLS
1239 3.0.
1240 * Ensure that TLS 1.2 ciphersuite/certificate and key selection takes into
1241 account not just the type of the key (RSA vs EC) but also what it can
1242 actually do. Resolves #5831.
1243 * Fix CMake windows host detection, especially when cross compiling.
1244 * Fix an error in make where the absence of a generated file caused
1245 make to break on a clean checkout. Fixes #5340.
1246 * Work around an MSVC ARM64 compiler bug causing incorrect behaviour
1247 in mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod(). Reported by Tautvydas Žilys in #5467.
1248 * Removed the prompt to exit from all windows build programs, which was causing
1249 issues in CI/CD environments.
1250
1251Changes
1252 * The file library/psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.c is now generated
1253 from a template. In the future, the generation will support
1254 driver descriptions. For the time being, to customize this file,
1255 see docs/proposed/psa-driver-wrappers-codegen-migration-guide.md
1256 * Return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT if the algorithm passed to one-shot
1257 AEAD functions is not an AEAD algorithm. This aligns them with the
1258 multipart functions, and the PSA Crypto API 1.1 specification.
1259 * In mbedtls_pk_parse_key(), if no password is provided, don't allocate a
1260 temporary variable on the heap. Suggested by Sergey Kanatov in #5304.
1261 * Assume source files are in UTF-8 when using MSVC with CMake.
1262 * Fix runtime library install location when building with CMake and MinGW.
1263 DLLs are now installed in the bin directory instead of lib.
1264 * cmake: Use GnuInstallDirs to customize install directories
1265 Replace custom LIB_INSTALL_DIR variable with standard CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR
1266 variable. For backward compatibility, set CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR if
1267 LIB_INSTALL_DIR is set.
1268 * Add a CMake option that enables static linking of the runtime library
1269 in Microsoft Visual C++ compiler. Contributed by Microplankton.
1270 * In CMake builds, add aliases for libraries so that the normal MbedTLS::*
1271 targets work when MbedTLS is built as a subdirectory. This allows the
1272 use of FetchContent, as requested in #5688.
1273
1274= mbed TLS 3.1.0 branch released 2021-12-17
1275
1276API changes
1277 * New error code for GCM: MBEDTLS_ERR_GCM_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL.
1278 Alternative GCM implementations are expected to verify
1279 the length of the provided output buffers and to return the
1280 MBEDTLS_ERR_GCM_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL in case the buffer length is too small.
1281 * You can configure groups for a TLS key exchange with the new function
1282 mbedtls_ssl_conf_groups(). It extends mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves().
1283 * Declare a number of structure fields as public: the fields of
1284 mbedtls_ecp_curve_info, the fields describing the result of ASN.1 and
1285 X.509 parsing, and finally the field fd of mbedtls_net_context on
1286 POSIX/Unix-like platforms.
1287
1288Requirement changes
1289 * Sign-magnitude and one's complement representations for signed integers are
1290 not supported. Two's complement is the only supported representation.
1291
1292New deprecations
1293 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves() in favor of the more generic
1294 mbedtls_ssl_conf_groups().
1295
1296Removals
1297 * Remove the partial support for running unit tests via Greentea on Mbed OS,
1298 which had been unmaintained since 2018.
1299
1300Features
1301 * Enable support for Curve448 via the PSA API. Contributed by
1302 Archana Madhavan in #4626. Fixes #3399 and #4249.
1303 * The identifier of the CID TLS extension can be configured by defining
1304 MBEDTLS_TLS_EXT_CID at compile time.
1305 * Implement the PSA multipart AEAD interface, currently supporting
1306 ChaChaPoly and GCM.
1307 * Warn if errors from certain functions are ignored. This is currently
1308 supported on GCC-like compilers and on MSVC and can be configured through
1309 the macro MBEDTLS_CHECK_RETURN. The warnings are always enabled
1310 (where supported) for critical functions where ignoring the return
1311 value is almost always a bug. Enable the new configuration option
1312 MBEDTLS_CHECK_RETURN_WARNING to get warnings for other functions. This
1313 is currently implemented in the AES, DES and md modules, and will be
1314 extended to other modules in the future.
1315 * Add missing PSA macros declared by PSA Crypto API 1.0.0:
1316 PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH, PSA_ALG_NONE, PSA_HASH_BLOCK_LENGTH, PSA_KEY_ID_NULL.
1317 * Add support for CCM*-no-tag cipher to the PSA.
1318 Currently only 13-byte long IV's are supported.
1319 For decryption a minimum of 16-byte long input is expected.
1320 These restrictions may be subject to change.
1321 * Add new API mbedtls_ct_memcmp for constant time buffer comparison.
1322 * Add functions to get the IV and block size from cipher_info structs.
1323 * Add functions to check if a cipher supports variable IV or key size.
1324 * Add the internal implementation of and support for CCM to the PSA multipart
1325 AEAD interface.
1326 * Mbed TLS provides a minimum viable implementation of the TLS 1.3
1327 protocol. See docs/architecture/tls13-support.md for the definition of
1328 the TLS 1.3 Minimum Viable Product (MVP). The MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3
1329 configuration option controls the enablement of the support. The APIs
1330 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version() and mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version() allow
1331 to select the 1.3 version of the protocol to establish a TLS connection.
1332 * Add PSA API definition for ARIA.
1333
1334Security
1335 * Zeroize several intermediate variables used to calculate the expected
1336 value when verifying a MAC or AEAD tag. This hardens the library in
1337 case the value leaks through a memory disclosure vulnerability. For
1338 example, a memory disclosure vulnerability could have allowed a
1339 man-in-the-middle to inject fake ciphertext into a DTLS connection.
1340 * In psa_aead_generate_nonce(), do not read back from the output buffer.
1341 This fixes a potential policy bypass or decryption oracle vulnerability
1342 if the output buffer is in memory that is shared with an untrusted
1343 application.
1344 * In psa_cipher_generate_iv() and psa_cipher_encrypt(), do not read back
1345 from the output buffer. This fixes a potential policy bypass or decryption
1346 oracle vulnerability if the output buffer is in memory that is shared with
1347 an untrusted application.
1348 * Fix a double-free that happened after mbedtls_ssl_set_session() or
1349 mbedtls_ssl_get_session() failed with MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_ALLOC_FAILED
1350 (out of memory). After that, calling mbedtls_ssl_session_free()
1351 and mbedtls_ssl_free() would cause an internal session buffer to
1352 be free()'d twice.
1353
1354Bugfix
1355 * Stop using reserved identifiers as local variables. Fixes #4630.
1356 * The GNU makefiles invoke python3 in preference to python except on Windows.
1357 The check was accidentally not performed when cross-compiling for Windows
1358 on Linux. Fix this. Fixes #4774.
1359 * Prevent divide by zero if either of PSA_CIPHER_ENCRYPT_OUTPUT_SIZE() or
1360 PSA_CIPHER_UPDATE_OUTPUT_SIZE() were called using an asymmetric key type.
1361 * Fix a parameter set but unused in psa_crypto_cipher.c. Fixes #4935.
1362 * Don't use the obsolete header path sys/fcntl.h in unit tests.
1363 These header files cause compilation errors in musl.
1364 Fixes #4969.
1365 * Fix missing constraints on x86_64 and aarch64 assembly code
1366 for bignum multiplication that broke some bignum operations with
1367 (at least) Clang 12.
1368 Fixes #4116, #4786, #4917, #4962.
1369 * Fix mbedtls_cipher_crypt: AES-ECB when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
1370 * Failures of alternative implementations of AES or DES single-block
1371 functions enabled with MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT_ALT, MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT_ALT,
1372 MBEDTLS_DES_CRYPT_ECB_ALT or MBEDTLS_DES3_CRYPT_ECB_ALT were ignored.
1373 This does not concern the implementation provided with Mbed TLS,
1374 where this function cannot fail, or full-module replacements with
1375 MBEDTLS_AES_ALT or MBEDTLS_DES_ALT. Reported by Armelle Duboc in #1092.
1376 * Some failures of HMAC operations were ignored. These failures could only
1377 happen with an alternative implementation of the underlying hash module.
1378 * Fix the error returned by psa_generate_key() for a public key. Fixes #4551.
1379 * Fix compile-time or run-time errors in PSA
1380 AEAD functions when ChachaPoly is disabled. Fixes #5065.
1381 * Remove PSA'a AEAD finish/verify output buffer limitation for GCM.
1382 The requirement of minimum 15 bytes for output buffer in
1383 psa_aead_finish() and psa_aead_verify() does not apply to the built-in
1384 implementation of GCM.
1385 * Move GCM's update output buffer length verification from PSA AEAD to
1386 the built-in implementation of the GCM.
1387 The requirement for output buffer size to be equal or greater then
1388 input buffer size is valid only for the built-in implementation of GCM.
1389 Alternative GCM implementations can process whole blocks only.
1390 * Fix the build of sample programs when neither MBEDTLS_ERROR_C nor
1391 MBEDTLS_ERROR_STRERROR_DUMMY is enabled.
1392 * Fix PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS verification accepting an arbitrary salt length.
1393 This algorithm now accepts only the same salt length for verification
1394 that it produces when signing, as documented. Use the new algorithm
1395 PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS_ANY_SALT to accept any salt length. Fixes #4946.
1396 * The existing predicate macro name PSA_ALG_IS_HASH_AND_SIGN is now reserved
1397 for algorithm values that fully encode the hashing step, as per the PSA
1398 Crypto API specification. This excludes PSA_ALG_RSA_PKCS1V15_SIGN_RAW and
1399 PSA_ALG_ECDSA_ANY. The new predicate macro PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH covers
1400 all algorithms that can be used with psa_{sign,verify}_hash(), including
1401 these two.
1402 * Fix issue in Makefile on Linux with SHARED=1, that caused shared libraries
1403 not to list other shared libraries they need.
1404 * Fix a bug in mbedtls_gcm_starts() when the bit length of the iv
1405 exceeds 2^32. Fixes #4884.
1406 * Fix an uninitialized variable warning in test_suite_ssl.function with GCC
1407 version 11.
1408 * Fix the build when no SHA2 module is included. Fixes #4930.
1409 * Fix the build when only the bignum module is included. Fixes #4929.
1410 * Fix a potential invalid pointer dereference and infinite loop bugs in
1411 pkcs12 functions when the password is empty. Fix the documentation to
1412 better describe the inputs to these functions and their possible values.
1413 Fixes #5136.
1414 * The key usage flags PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_MESSAGE now allows the MAC
1415 operations psa_mac_compute() and psa_mac_sign_setup().
1416 * The key usage flags PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_MESSAGE now allows the MAC
1417 operations psa_mac_verify() and psa_mac_verify_setup().
1418
1419Changes
1420 * Explicitly mark the fields mbedtls_ssl_session.exported and
1421 mbedtls_ssl_config.respect_cli_pref as private. This was an
1422 oversight during the run-up to the release of Mbed TLS 3.0.
1423 The fields were never intended to be public.
1424 * Implement multi-part CCM API.
1425 The multi-part functions: mbedtls_ccm_starts(), mbedtls_ccm_set_lengths(),
1426 mbedtls_ccm_update_ad(), mbedtls_ccm_update(), mbedtls_ccm_finish()
1427 were introduced in mbedTLS 3.0 release, however their implementation was
1428 postponed until now.
1429 Implemented functions support chunked data input for both CCM and CCM*
1430 algorithms.
1431 * Remove MBEDTLS_SSL_EXPORT_KEYS, making it always on and increasing the
1432 code size by about 80B on an M0 build. This option only gated an ability
1433 to set a callback, but was deemed unnecessary as it was yet another define
1434 to remember when writing tests, or test configurations. Fixes #4653.
1435 * Improve the performance of base64 constant-flow code. The result is still
1436 slower than the original non-constant-flow implementation, but much faster
1437 than the previous constant-flow implementation. Fixes #4814.
1438 * Ignore plaintext/ciphertext lengths for CCM*-no-tag operations.
1439 For CCM* encryption/decryption without authentication, input
1440 length will be ignored.
1441 * Indicate in the error returned if the nonce length used with
1442 ChaCha20-Poly1305 is invalid, and not just unsupported.
1443 * The mbedcrypto library includes a new source code module constant_time.c,
1444 containing various functions meant to resist timing side channel attacks.
1445 This module does not have a separate configuration option, and functions
1446 from this module will be included in the build as required. Currently
1447 most of the interface of this module is private and may change at any
1448 time.
1449 * The generated configuration-independent files are now automatically
1450 generated by the CMake build system on Unix-like systems. This is not
1451 yet supported when cross-compiling.
1452
1453= Mbed TLS 3.0.0 branch released 2021-07-07
1454
1455API changes
1456 * Remove HAVEGE module.
1457 The design of HAVEGE makes it unsuitable for microcontrollers. Platforms
1458 with a more complex CPU usually have an operating system interface that
1459 provides better randomness. Instead of HAVEGE, declare OS or hardware RNG
1460 interfaces with mbedtls_entropy_add_source() and/or use an entropy seed
1461 file created securely during device provisioning. See
1462 https://mbed-tls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kb/how-to/add-entropy-sources-to-entropy-pool/ for
1463 more information.
1464 * Add missing const attributes to API functions.
1465 * Remove helpers for the transition from Mbed TLS 1.3 to Mbed TLS 2.0: the
1466 header compat-1.3.h and the script rename.pl.
1467 * Remove certs module from the API.
1468 Transfer keys and certificates embedded in the library to the test
1469 component. This contributes to minimizing library API and discourages
1470 users from using unsafe keys in production.
1471 * Move alt helpers and definitions.
1472 Various helpers and definitions available for use in alt implementations
1473 have been moved out of the include/ directory and into the library/
1474 directory. The files concerned are ecp_internal.h and rsa_internal.h
1475 which have also been renamed to ecp_internal_alt.h and rsa_alt_helpers.h
1476 respectively.
1477 * Move internal headers.
1478 Header files that were only meant for the library's internal use and
1479 were not meant to be used in application code have been moved out of
1480 the include/ directory. The headers concerned are bn_mul.h, aesni.h,
1481 padlock.h, entropy_poll.h and *_internal.h.
1482 * Drop support for parsing SSLv2 ClientHello
1483 (MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_SUPPORT_SSLV2_CLIENT_HELLO).
1484 * Drop support for SSLv3 (MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_SSL3).
1485 * Drop support for TLS record-level compression (MBEDTLS_ZLIB_SUPPORT).
1486 * Drop support for RC4 TLS ciphersuites.
1487 * Drop support for single-DES ciphersuites.
1488 * Drop support for MBEDTLS_SSL_HW_RECORD_ACCEL.
1489 * Update AEAD output size macros to bring them in line with the PSA Crypto
1490 API version 1.0 spec. This version of the spec parameterizes them on the
1491 key type used, as well as the key bit-size in the case of
1492 PSA_AEAD_TAG_LENGTH.
1493 * Add configuration option MBEDTLS_X509_REMOVE_INFO which
1494 removes the mbedtls_x509_*_info(), mbedtls_debug_print_crt()
1495 as well as other functions and constants only used by
1496 those functions. This reduces the code footprint by
1497 several kB.
1498 * Remove SSL error codes `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CERTIFICATE_REQUIRED`
1499 and `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_INVALID_VERIFY_HASH` which are never
1500 returned from the public SSL API.
1501 * Remove `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CERTIFICATE_TOO_LARGE` and return
1502 `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL` instead.
1503 * The output parameter of mbedtls_sha512_finish, mbedtls_sha512,
1504 mbedtls_sha256_finish and mbedtls_sha256 now has a pointer type
1505 rather than array type. This removes spurious warnings in some compilers
1506 when outputting a SHA-384 or SHA-224 hash into a buffer of exactly
1507 the hash size.
1508 * Remove the MBEDTLS_TEST_NULL_ENTROPY config option. Fixes #4388.
1509 * The interface of the GCM module has changed to remove restrictions on
1510 how the input to multipart operations is broken down. mbedtls_gcm_finish()
1511 now takes extra output parameters for the last partial output block.
1512 mbedtls_gcm_update() now takes extra parameters for the output length.
1513 The software implementation always produces the full output at each
1514 call to mbedtls_gcm_update(), but alternative implementations activated
1515 by MBEDTLS_GCM_ALT may delay partial blocks to the next call to
1516 mbedtls_gcm_update() or mbedtls_gcm_finish(). Furthermore, applications
1517 no longer pass the associated data to mbedtls_gcm_starts(), but to the
1518 new function mbedtls_gcm_update_ad().
1519 These changes are backward compatible for users of the cipher API.
1520 * Replace MBEDTLS_SHA512_NO_SHA384 config option with MBEDTLS_SHA384_C.
1521 This separates config option enabling the SHA384 algorithm from option
1522 enabling the SHA512 algorithm. Fixes #4034.
1523 * Introduce MBEDTLS_SHA224_C.
1524 This separates config option enabling the SHA224 algorithm from option
1525 enabling SHA256.
1526 * The getter and setter API of the SSL session cache (used for
1527 session-ID based session resumption) has changed to that of
1528 a key-value store with keys being session IDs and values
1529 being opaque instances of `mbedtls_ssl_session`.
1530 * Remove the mode parameter from RSA operation functions. Signature and
1531 decryption functions now always use the private key and verification and
1532 encryption use the public key. Verification functions also no longer have
1533 RNG parameters.
1534 * Modify semantics of `mbedtls_ssl_conf_[opaque_]psk()`:
1535 In Mbed TLS 2.X, the API prescribes that later calls overwrite
1536 the effect of earlier calls. In Mbed TLS 3.0, calling
1537 `mbedtls_ssl_conf_[opaque_]psk()` more than once will fail,
1538 leaving the PSK that was configured first intact.
1539 Support for more than one PSK may be added in 3.X.
1540 * The function mbedtls_x509write_csr_set_extension() has an extra parameter
1541 which allows to mark an extension as critical. Fixes #4055.
1542 * For multi-part AEAD operations with the cipher module, calling
1543 mbedtls_cipher_finish() is now mandatory. Previously the documentation
1544 was unclear on this point, and this function happened to never do
1545 anything with the currently implemented AEADs, so in practice it was
1546 possible to skip calling it, which is no longer supported.
1547 * The option MBEDTLS_ECP_FIXED_POINT_OPTIM use pre-computed comb tables
1548 instead of computing tables in runtime. Thus, this option now increase
1549 code size, and it does not increase RAM usage in runtime anymore.
1550 * Remove the SSL APIs mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() and
1551 mbedtls_ssl_get_output_max_frag_len(), and add a new API
1552 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_in_record_payload(), complementing the existing
1553 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_out_record_payload().
1554 Uses of mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() and
1555 mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() should be replaced by
1556 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_in_record_payload() and
1557 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_out_record_payload(), respectively.
1558 * mbedtls_rsa_init() now always selects the PKCS#1v1.5 encoding for an RSA
1559 key. To use an RSA key with PSS or OAEP, call mbedtls_rsa_set_padding()
1560 after initializing the context. mbedtls_rsa_set_padding() now returns an
1561 error if its parameters are invalid.
1562 * Replace MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_RESPECT_CLIENT_PREFERENCE by a runtime
1563 configuration function mbedtls_ssl_conf_preference_order(). Fixes #4398.
1564 * Instead of accessing the len field of a DHM context, which is no longer
1565 supported, use the new function mbedtls_dhm_get_len() .
1566 * In modules that implement cryptographic hash functions, many functions
1567 mbedtls_xxx() now return int instead of void, and the corresponding
1568 function mbedtls_xxx_ret() which was identical except for returning int
1569 has been removed. This also concerns mbedtls_xxx_drbg_update(). See the
1570 migration guide for more information. Fixes #4212.
1571 * For all functions that take a random number generator (RNG) as a
1572 parameter, this parameter is now mandatory (that is, NULL is not an
1573 acceptable value). Functions which previously accepted NULL and now
1574 reject it are: the X.509 CRT and CSR writing functions; the PK and RSA
1575 sign and decrypt function; mbedtls_rsa_private(); the functions
1576 in DHM and ECDH that compute the shared secret; the scalar multiplication
1577 functions in ECP.
1578 * The following functions now require an RNG parameter:
1579 mbedtls_ecp_check_pub_priv(), mbedtls_pk_check_pair(),
1580 mbedtls_pk_parse_key(), mbedtls_pk_parse_keyfile().
1581 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_export_keys_ext_cb() and
1582 mbedtls_ssl_conf_export_keys_cb() have been removed and
1583 replaced by a new API mbedtls_ssl_set_export_keys_cb().
1584 Raw keys and IVs are no longer passed to the callback.
1585 Further, callbacks now receive an additional parameter
1586 indicating the type of secret that's being exported,
1587 paving the way for the larger number of secrets
1588 in TLS 1.3. Finally, the key export callback and
1589 context are now connection-specific.
1590 * Signature functions in the RSA and PK modules now require the hash
1591 length parameter to be the size of the hash input. For RSA signatures
1592 other than raw PKCS#1 v1.5, this must match the output size of the
1593 specified hash algorithm.
1594 * The functions mbedtls_pk_sign(), mbedtls_pk_sign_restartable(),
1595 mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature() and
1596 mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature_restartable() now take an extra parameter
1597 indicating the size of the output buffer for the signature.
1598 * Implement one-shot cipher functions, psa_cipher_encrypt and
1599 psa_cipher_decrypt, according to the PSA Crypto API 1.0.0
1600 specification.
1601 * Direct access to fields of structures declared in public headers is no
1602 longer supported except for fields that are documented public. Use accessor
1603 functions instead. For more information, see the migration guide entry
1604 "Most structure fields are now private".
1605 * mbedtls_ssl_get_session_pointer() has been removed, and
1606 mbedtls_ssl_{set,get}_session() may now only be called once for any given
1607 SSL context.
1608
1609Default behavior changes
1610 * Enable by default the functionalities which have no reason to be disabled.
1611 They are: ARIA block cipher, CMAC mode, elliptic curve J-PAKE library and
1612 Key Wrapping mode as defined in NIST SP 800-38F. Fixes #4036.
1613 * Some default policies for X.509 certificate verification and TLS have
1614 changed: curves and hashes weaker than 255 bits are no longer accepted
1615 by default. The default order in TLS now favors faster curves over larger
1616 curves.
1617
1618Requirement changes
1619 * The library now uses the %zu format specifier with the printf() family of
1620 functions, so requires a toolchain that supports it. This change does not
1621 affect the maintained LTS branches, so when contributing changes please
1622 bear this in mind and do not add them to backported code.
1623 * If you build the development version of Mbed TLS, rather than an official
1624 release, some configuration-independent files are now generated at build
1625 time rather than checked into source control. This includes some library
1626 source files as well as the Visual Studio solution. Perl, Python 3 and a
1627 C compiler for the host platform are required. See “Generated source files
1628 in the development branch” in README.md for more information.
1629 * Refresh the minimum supported versions of tools to build the
1630 library. CMake versions older than 3.10.2 and Python older
1631 than 3.6 are no longer supported.
1632
1633Removals
1634 * Remove the MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_CERTIFICATES
1635 compile-time option, which was off by default. Users should not trust
1636 certificates signed with SHA-1 due to the known attacks against SHA-1.
1637 If needed, SHA-1 certificates can still be verified by using a custom
1638 verification profile.
1639 * Removed deprecated things in psa/crypto_compat.h. Fixes #4284
1640 * Removed deprecated functions from hashing modules. Fixes #4280.
1641 * Remove PKCS#11 library wrapper. PKCS#11 has limited functionality,
1642 lacks automated tests and has scarce documentation. Also, PSA Crypto
1643 provides a more flexible private key management.
1644 More details on PCKS#11 wrapper removal can be found in the mailing list
1645 https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/pipermail/mbed-tls/2020-April/000024.html
1646 * Remove deprecated error codes. Fix #4283
1647 * Remove MBEDTLS_ENABLE_WEAK_CIPHERSUITES configuration option. Fixes #4416.
1648 * Remove the MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_CERTIFICATES
1649 compile-time option. This option has been inactive for a long time.
1650 Please use the `lifetime` parameter of `mbedtls_ssl_ticket_setup()`
1651 instead.
1652 * Remove the following deprecated functions and constants of hex-encoded
1653 primes based on RFC 5114 and RFC 3526 from library code and tests:
1654 mbedtls_aes_encrypt(), mbedtls_aes_decrypt(), mbedtls_mpi_is_prime(),
1655 mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt(), mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt(),
1656 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update(), mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update(),
1657 mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature_det(), mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det(),
1658 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param(), mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len(),
1659 MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC5114_MODP_2048_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC5114_MODP_2048_G,
1660 MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_G,
1661 MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_3072_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_3072_G,
1662 MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_4096_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_4096_G.
1663 Remove the deprecated file: include/mbedtls/net.h. Fixes #4282.
1664 * Remove MBEDTLS_SSL_MAX_CONTENT_LEN configuration option, since
1665 MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN and MBEDTLS_SSL_OUT_CONTENT_LEN replace
1666 it. Fixes #4362.
1667 * Remove the MBEDTLS_SSL_RECORD_CHECKING option and enable by default its
1668 previous action. Fixes #4361.
1669 * Remove support for TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 and DTLS 1.0, as well as support for
1670 CBC record splitting, fallback SCSV, and the ability to configure
1671 ciphersuites per version, which are no longer relevant. This removes the
1672 configuration options MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1,
1673 MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_1, MBEDTLS_SSL_CBC_RECORD_SPLITTING and
1674 MBEDTLS_SSL_FALLBACK_SCSV as well as the functions
1675 mbedtls_ssl_conf_cbc_record_splitting(),
1676 mbedtls_ssl_get_key_exchange_md_ssl_tls(), mbedtls_ssl_conf_fallback(),
1677 and mbedtls_ssl_conf_ciphersuites_for_version(). Fixes #4286.
1678 * The RSA module no longer supports private-key operations with the public
1679 key and vice versa.
1680 * Remove the MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_BADMAC_LIMIT config.h option. Fixes #4403.
1681 * Remove all the 3DES ciphersuites:
1682 MBEDTLS_TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1683 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1684 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1685 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDHE_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1686 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1687 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1688 MBEDTLS_TLS_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1689 MBEDTLS_TLS_RSA_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1690 MBEDTLS_TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA. Remove the
1691 MBEDTLS_REMOVE_3DES_CIPHERSUITES option which is no longer relevant.
1692 Fixes #4367.
1693 * Remove the MBEDTLS_X509_ALLOW_EXTENSIONS_NON_V3 option and let the code
1694 behave as if it was always disabled. Fixes #4386.
1695 * Remove MBEDTLS_ECDH_LEGACY_CONTEXT config option since this was purely for
1696 backward compatibility which is no longer supported. Addresses #4404.
1697 * Remove the following macros: MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS,
1698 MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS_ASSERT, MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED,
1699 MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED_ALT. Fixes #4313.
1700 * Remove the MBEDTLS_X509_ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION config.h
1701 option. The mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() is the way to go for
1702 migration path. Fixes #4378.
1703 * Remove the MBEDTLS_X509_CHECK_KEY_USAGE and
1704 MBEDTLS_X509_CHECK_EXTENDED_KEY_USAGE config.h options and let the code
1705 behave as if they were always enabled. Fixes #4405.
1706 * MBEDTLS_ECP_MAX_BITS is no longer a configuration option because it is
1707 now determined automatically based on supported curves.
1708 * Remove the following functions: mbedtls_timing_self_test(),
1709 mbedtls_hardclock_poll(), mbedtls_timing_hardclock() and
1710 mbedtls_set_alarm(). Fixes #4083.
1711 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_INTERNAL_RNG has been removed as
1712 it no longer had any effect.
1713 * Remove all support for MD2, MD4, RC4, Blowfish and XTEA. This removes the
1714 corresponding modules and all their APIs and related configuration
1715 options. Fixes #4084.
1716 * Remove MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC and also remove
1717 MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC_COMPAT config option. Users are better served by
1718 using a CCM-8 ciphersuite than a CBC ciphersuite with truncated HMAC.
1719 See issue #4341 for more details.
1720 * Remove the compile-time option
1721 MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_KEY_EXCHANGE.
1722
1723Features
1724 * Add mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pss_sign_ext() function allowing to generate a
1725 signature with a specific salt length. This function allows to validate
1726 test cases provided in the NIST's CAVP test suite. Contributed by Cédric
1727 Meuter in PR #3183.
1728 * Added support for built-in driver keys through the PSA opaque crypto
1729 driver interface. Refer to the documentation of
1730 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_BUILTIN_KEYS for more information.
1731 * Implement psa_sign_message() and psa_verify_message().
1732 * The multi-part GCM interface (mbedtls_gcm_update() or
1733 mbedtls_cipher_update()) no longer requires the size of partial inputs to
1734 be a multiple of 16.
1735 * The multi-part GCM interface now supports chunked associated data through
1736 multiple calls to mbedtls_gcm_update_ad().
1737 * The new function mbedtls_mpi_random() generates a random value in a
1738 given range uniformly.
1739 * Alternative implementations of the AES, DHM, ECJPAKE, ECP, RSA and timing
1740 modules had undocumented constraints on their context types. These
1741 constraints have been relaxed.
1742 See docs/architecture/alternative-implementations.md for the remaining
1743 constraints.
1744 * The new functions mbedtls_dhm_get_len() and mbedtls_dhm_get_bitlen()
1745 query the size of the modulus in a Diffie-Hellman context.
1746 * The new function mbedtls_dhm_get_value() copy a field out of a
1747 Diffie-Hellman context.
1748 * Use the new function mbedtls_ecjpake_set_point_format() to select the
1749 point format for ECJPAKE instead of accessing the point_format field
1750 directly, which is no longer supported.
1751 * Implement psa_mac_compute() and psa_mac_verify() as defined in the
1752 PSA Cryptograpy API 1.0.0 specification.
1753
1754Security
1755 * Fix a bias in the generation of finite-field Diffie-Hellman-Merkle (DHM)
1756 private keys and of blinding values for DHM and elliptic curves (ECP)
1757 computations. Reported by FlorianF89 in #4245.
1758 * Fix a potential side channel vulnerability in ECDSA ephemeral key generation.
1759 An adversary who is capable of very precise timing measurements could
1760 learn partial information about the leading bits of the nonce used for the
1761 signature, allowing the recovery of the private key after observing a
1762 large number of signature operations. This completes a partial fix in
1763 Mbed TLS 2.20.0.
1764 * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough information
1765 about memory accesses (typically, an untrusted operating system attacking
1766 a secure enclave) could recover an RSA private key after observing the
1767 victim performing a single private-key operation. Found and reported by
1768 Zili KOU, Wenjian HE, Sharad Sinha, and Wei ZHANG.
1769 * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough timing
1770 information (typically, a co-located process) could recover a Curve25519
1771 or Curve448 static ECDH key after inputting a chosen public key and
1772 observing the victim performing the corresponding private-key operation.
1773 Found and reported by Leila Batina, Lukas Chmielewski, Björn Haase, Niels
1774 Samwel and Peter Schwabe.
1775
1776Bugfix
1777 * Fix premature fopen() call in mbedtls_entropy_write_seed_file which may
1778 lead to the seed file corruption in case if the path to the seed file is
1779 equal to MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_STD_NV_SEED_FILE. Contributed by Victor
1780 Krasnoshchok in #3616.
1781 * PSA functions creating a key now return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT rather
1782 than PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE when the identifier specified for the key
1783 to create is not valid, bringing them in line with version 1.0.0 of the
1784 specification. Fix #4271.
1785 * Add printf function attributes to mbedtls_debug_print_msg to ensure we
1786 get printf format specifier warnings.
1787 * PSA functions other than psa_open_key now return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE
1788 rather than PSA_ERROR_DOES_NOT_EXIST for an invalid handle, bringing them
1789 in line with version 1.0.0 of the specification. Fix #4162.
1790 * Fix a bug in ECDSA that would cause it to fail when the hash is all-bits
1791 zero. Fixes #1792
1792 * Fix some cases in the bignum module where the library constructed an
1793 unintended representation of the value 0 which was not processed
1794 correctly by some bignum operations. This could happen when
1795 mbedtls_mpi_read_string() was called on "-0", or when
1796 mbedtls_mpi_mul_mpi() and mbedtls_mpi_mul_int() was called with one of
1797 the arguments being negative and the other being 0. Fixes #4643.
1798 * Fix a compilation error when MBEDTLS_ECP_RANDOMIZE_MXZ_ALT is
1799 defined. Fixes #4217.
1800 * Fix an incorrect error code when parsing a PKCS#8 private key.
1801 * In a TLS client, enforce the Diffie-Hellman minimum parameter size
1802 set with mbedtls_ssl_conf_dhm_min_bitlen() precisely. Before, the
1803 minimum size was rounded down to the nearest multiple of 8.
1804 * In library/net_sockets.c, _POSIX_C_SOURCE and _XOPEN_SOURCE are
1805 defined to specific values. If the code is used in a context
1806 where these are already defined, this can result in a compilation
1807 error. Instead, assume that if they are defined, the values will
1808 be adequate to build Mbed TLS.
1809 * With MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C disabled, some functions were getting built
1810 nonetheless, resulting in undefined reference errors when building a
1811 shared library. Reported by Guillermo Garcia M. in #4411.
1812 * The cipher suite TLS-RSA-WITH-CAMELLIA-256-GCM-SHA384 was not available
1813 when SHA-1 was disabled and was offered when SHA-1 was enabled but SHA-384
1814 was disabled. Fix the dependency. Fixes #4472.
1815 * Do not offer SHA384 cipher suites when SHA-384 is disabled. Fixes #4499.
1816 * Fix test suite code on platforms where int32_t is not int, such as
1817 Arm Cortex-M. Fixes #4530.
1818 * Fix some issues affecting MBEDTLS_ARIA_ALT implementations: a misplaced
1819 directive in a header and a missing initialization in the self-test.
1820 * Fix a missing initialization in the Camellia self-test, affecting
1821 MBEDTLS_CAMELLIA_ALT implementations.
1822 * Restore the ability to configure PSA via Mbed TLS options to support RSA
1823 key pair operations but exclude RSA key generation. When MBEDTLS_GENPRIME
1824 is not defined PSA will no longer attempt to use mbedtls_rsa_gen_key().
1825 Fixes #4512.
1826 * Fix a regression introduced in 2.24.0 which broke (D)TLS CBC ciphersuites
1827 (when the encrypt-then-MAC extension is not in use) with some ALT
1828 implementations of the underlying hash (SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384), causing
1829 the affected side to wrongly reject valid messages. Fixes #4118.
1830 * Remove outdated check-config.h check that prevented implementing the
1831 timing module on Mbed OS. Fixes #4633.
1832 * Fix PSA_ALG_TLS12_PRF and PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS being too permissive
1833 about missing inputs.
1834 * Fix mbedtls_net_poll() and mbedtls_net_recv_timeout() often failing with
1835 MBEDTLS_ERR_NET_POLL_FAILED on Windows. Fixes #4465.
1836 * Fix a resource leak in a test suite with an alternative AES
1837 implementation. Fixes #4176.
1838 * Fix a crash in mbedtls_mpi_debug_mpi on a bignum having 0 limbs. This
1839 could notably be triggered by setting the TLS debug level to 3 or above
1840 and using a Montgomery curve for the key exchange. Reported by lhuang04
1841 in #4578. Fixes #4608.
1842 * psa_verify_hash() was relying on implementation-specific behavior of
1843 mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pss_verify() and was causing failures in some _ALT
1844 implementations. This reliance is now removed. Fixes #3990.
1845 * Disallow inputs of length different from the corresponding hash when
1846 signing or verifying with PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS (The PSA Crypto API mandates
1847 that PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS uses the same hash throughout the algorithm.)
1848 * Fix a null pointer dereference when mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod() was called with
1849 A=0 represented with 0 limbs. Up to and including Mbed TLS 2.26, this bug
1850 could not be triggered by code that constructed A with one of the
1851 mbedtls_mpi_read_xxx functions (including in particular TLS code) since
1852 those always built an mpi object with at least one limb.
1853 Credit to OSS-Fuzz. Fixes #4641.
1854 * Fix mbedtls_mpi_gcd(G,A,B) when the value of B is zero. This had no
1855 effect on Mbed TLS's internal use of mbedtls_mpi_gcd(), but may affect
1856 applications that call mbedtls_mpi_gcd() directly. Fixes #4642.
1857 * The PSA API no longer allows the creation or destruction of keys with a
1858 read-only lifetime. The persistence level PSA_KEY_PERSISTENCE_READ_ONLY
1859 can now only be used as intended, for keys that cannot be modified through
1860 normal use of the API.
1861 * When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SPM is enabled, crypto_spe.h was not included
1862 in all the right places. Include it from crypto_platform.h, which is
1863 the natural place. Fixes #4649.
1864 * Fix which alert is sent in some cases to conform to the
1865 applicable RFC: on an invalid Finished message value, an
1866 invalid max_fragment_length extension, or an
1867 unsupported extension used by the server.
1868 * Correct (change from 12 to 13 bytes) the value of the macro describing the
1869 maximum nonce length returned by psa_aead_generate_nonce().
1870
1871Changes
1872 * Fix the setting of the read timeout in the DTLS sample programs.
1873 * Add extra printf compiler warning flags to builds.
1874 * Fix memsan build false positive in x509_crt.c with clang 11
1875 * Alternative implementations of CMAC may now opt to not support 3DES as a
1876 CMAC block cipher, and still pass the CMAC self test.
1877 * Remove the AES sample application programs/aes/aescrypt2 which shows
1878 bad cryptographic practice. Fix #1906.
1879 * Remove configs/config-psa-crypto.h, which no longer had any intended
1880 differences from the default configuration, but had accidentally diverged.
1881 * When building the test suites with GNU make, invoke python3 or python, not
1882 python2, which is no longer supported upstream.
1883 * fix build failure on MinGW toolchain when __USE_MING_ANSI_STDIO is on.
1884 When that flag is on, standard GNU C printf format specifiers
1885 should be used.
1886 * Replace MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_PADDING_GRANULARITY and
1887 MBEDTLS_SSL_TLS1_3_PADDING_GRANULARITY with a new single unified option
1888 MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_TLS1_3_PADDING_GRANULARITY. Fixes #4335.
1889 * Reduce the default value of MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE. This reduces RAM usage
1890 during ECC operations at a negligible performance cost.
1891 * mbedtls_mpi_read_binary(), mbedtls_mpi_read_binary_le() and
1892 mbedtls_mpi_read_string() now construct an mbedtls_mpi object with 0 limbs
1893 when their input has length 0. Note that this is an implementation detail
1894 and can change at any time, so this change should be transparent, but it
1895 may result in mbedtls_mpi_write_binary() or mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
1896 now writing an empty string where it previously wrote one or more
1897 zero digits when operating from values constructed with an mpi_read
1898 function and some mpi operations.
1899 * Add CMake package config generation for CMake projects consuming Mbed TLS.
1900 * config.h has been split into build_info.h and mbedtls_config.h
1901 build_info.h is intended to be included from C code directly, while
1902 mbedtls_config.h is intended to be edited by end users wishing to
1903 change the build configuration, and should generally only be included from
1904 build_info.h.
1905 * The handling of MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE has been moved into build_info.h.
1906 * A config file version symbol, MBEDTLS_CONFIG_VERSION was introduced.
1907 Defining it to a particular value will ensure that Mbed TLS interprets
1908 the config file in a way that's compatible with the config file format
1909 used by the Mbed TLS release whose MBEDTLS_VERSION_NUMBER has the same
1910 value.
1911 The only value supported by Mbed TLS 3.0.0 is 0x03000000.
1912 * Various changes to which alert and/or error code may be returned
1913 * during the TLS handshake.
1914 * Implicitly add PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_MESSAGE key usage policy flag when
1915 PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_HASH flag is set and PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_MESSAGE flag
1916 when PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_HASH flag is set. This usage flag extension
1917 is also applied when loading a key from storage.

1921API changes
1922 * Renamed the PSA Crypto API output buffer size macros to bring them in line
1923 with version 1.0.0 of the specification.
1924 * The API glue function mbedtls_ecc_group_of_psa() now takes the curve size
1925 in bits rather than bytes, with an additional flag to indicate if the
1926 size may have been rounded up to a whole number of bytes.
1927 * Renamed the PSA Crypto API AEAD tag length macros to bring them in line
1928 with version 1.0.0 of the specification.
1929
1930Default behavior changes
1931 * In mbedtls_rsa_context objects, the ver field was formerly documented
1932 as always 0. It is now reserved for internal purposes and may take
1933 different values.
1934
1935New deprecations
1936 * PSA_KEY_EXPORT_MAX_SIZE, PSA_HASH_SIZE, PSA_MAC_FINAL_SIZE,
1937 PSA_BLOCK_CIPHER_BLOCK_SIZE, PSA_MAX_BLOCK_CIPHER_BLOCK_SIZE and
1938 PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS_MAX_PSK_LEN have been renamed, and the old names
1939 deprecated.
1940 * PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_DEFAULT_TAG_LENGTH and PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_TAG_LENGTH
1941 have been renamed, and the old names deprecated.

1944 * The PSA crypto subsystem can now use HMAC_DRBG instead of CTR_DRBG.
1945 CTR_DRBG is used by default if it is available, but you can override
1946 this choice by setting MBEDTLS_PSA_HMAC_DRBG_MD_TYPE at compile time.
1947 Fix #3354.
1948 * Automatic fallback to a software implementation of ECP when
1949 MBEDTLS_ECP_xxx_ALT accelerator hooks are in use can now be turned off
1950 through setting the new configuration flag MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_FALLBACK.
1951 * The PSA crypto subsystem can now be configured to use less static RAM by
1952 tweaking the setting for the maximum amount of keys simultaneously in RAM.
1953 MBEDTLS_PSA_KEY_SLOT_COUNT sets the maximum number of volatile keys that
1954 can exist simultaneously. It has a sensible default if not overridden.
1955 * Partial implementation of the PSA crypto driver interface: Mbed TLS can
1956 now use an external random generator instead of the library's own
1957 entropy collection and DRBG code. Enable MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG
1958 and see the documentation of mbedtls_psa_external_get_random() for details.
1959 * Applications using both mbedtls_xxx and psa_xxx functions (for example,
1960 applications using TLS and MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO) can now use the PSA
1961 random generator with mbedtls_xxx functions. See the documentation of
1962 mbedtls_psa_get_random() for details.
1963 * In the PSA API, the policy for a MAC or AEAD algorithm can specify a
1964 minimum MAC or tag length thanks to the new wildcards
1965 PSA_ALG_AT_LEAST_THIS_LENGTH_MAC and
1966 PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_AT_LEAST_THIS_LENGTH_TAG.
1967
1968Security
1969 * Fix a security reduction in CTR_DRBG when the initial seeding obtained a
1970 nonce from entropy. Applications were affected if they called
1971 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len(), if they called
1972 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_entropy_len() with a size that was 3/2 times the key
1973 length, or when the entropy module uses SHA-256 and CTR_DRBG uses AES-256.
1974 In such cases, a random nonce was necessary to achieve the advertised
1975 security strength, but the code incorrectly used a constant instead of
1976 entropy from the nonce.
1977 Found by John Stroebel in #3819 and fixed in #3973.
1978 * Fix a buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() when calculating
1979 |A| - |B| where |B| is larger than |A| and has more limbs (so the
1980 function should return MBEDTLS_ERR_MPI_NEGATIVE_VALUE). Only
1981 applications calling mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() directly are affected:
1982 all calls inside the library were safe since this function is
1983 only called with |A| >= |B|. Reported by Guido Vranken in #4042.
1984 * Fix an errorneous estimation for an internal buffer in
1985 mbedtls_pk_write_key_pem(). If MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE is set to an odd
1986 value the function might fail to write a private RSA keys of the largest
1987 supported size.
1988 Found by Daniel Otte, reported in #4093 and fixed in #4094.
1989 * Fix a stack buffer overflow with mbedtls_net_poll() and
1990 mbedtls_net_recv_timeout() when given a file descriptor that is
1991 beyond FD_SETSIZE. Reported by FigBug in #4169.
1992 * Guard against strong local side channel attack against base64 tables by
1993 making access aceess to them use constant flow code.
1994
1995Bugfix
1996 * Fix use-after-scope error in programs/ssl/ssl_client2.c and ssl_server2.c
1997 * Fix memory leak that occured when calling psa_close_key() on a
1998 wrapped key with MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C defined.
1999 * Fix an incorrect error code if an RSA private operation glitched.
2000 * Fix a memory leak in an error case in psa_generate_derived_key_internal().
2001 * Fix a resource leak in CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C
2002 is enabled, on platforms where initializing a mutex allocates resources.
2003 This was a regression introduced in the previous release. Reported in
2004 #4017, #4045 and #4071.
2005 * Ensure that calling mbedtls_rsa_free() or mbedtls_entropy_free()
2006 twice is safe. This happens for RSA when some Mbed TLS library functions
2007 fail. Such a double-free was not safe when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C was
2008 enabled on platforms where freeing a mutex twice is not safe.
2009 * Fix a resource leak in a bad-arguments case of mbedtls_rsa_gen_key()
2010 when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled on platforms where initializing
2011 a mutex allocates resources.
2012 * Fixes a bug where, if the library was configured to include support for
2013 both the old SE interface and the new PSA driver interface, external keys were
2014 not loaded from storage. This was fixed by #3996.
2015 * This change makes 'mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_basic_constraints'
2016 consistent with RFC 5280 4.2.1.9 which says: "Conforming CAs MUST
2017 include this extension in all CA certificates that contain public keys
2018 used to validate digital signatures on certificates and MUST mark the
2019 extension as critical in such certificates." Previous to this change,
2020 the extension was always marked as non-critical. This was fixed by
2021 #3698.
2022
2023Changes
2024 * A new library C file psa_crypto_client.c has been created to contain
2025 the PSA code needed by a PSA crypto client when the PSA crypto
2026 implementation is not included into the library.
2027 * On recent enough versions of FreeBSD and DragonFlyBSD, the entropy module
2028 now uses the getrandom syscall instead of reading from /dev/urandom.
2029
2030= mbed TLS 2.25.0 branch released 2020-12-11
2031
2032API changes
2033 * The numerical values of the PSA Crypto API macros have been updated to
2034 conform to version 1.0.0 of the specification.
2035 * PSA_ALG_STREAM_CIPHER replaces PSA_ALG_CHACHA20 and PSA_ALG_ARC4.
2036 The underlying stream cipher is determined by the key type
2037 (PSA_KEY_TYPE_CHACHA20 or PSA_KEY_TYPE_ARC4).
2038 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
2039 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() no longer accept NIST_KW contexts,
2040 as they have no way to check if the output buffer is large enough.
2041 Please use mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt_ext() and
2042 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt_ext() instead. Credit to OSS-Fuzz and
2043 Cryptofuzz. Fixes #3665.
2044
2045Requirement changes
2046 * Update the minimum required CMake version to 2.8.12. This silences a
2047 warning on CMake 3.19.0. #3801
2048
2049New deprecations
2050 * PSA_ALG_CHACHA20 and PSA_ALG_ARC4 have been deprecated.
2051 Use PSA_ALG_STREAM_CIPHER instead.
2052 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
2053 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() are deprecated in favour of the new
2054 functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt_ext() and
2055 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt_ext(). Please note that with AEAD ciphers,
2056 these new functions always append the tag to the ciphertext, and include
2057 the tag in the ciphertext length.
2058
2059Features
2060 * Partial implementation of the new PSA Crypto accelerator APIs. (Symmetric
2061 ciphers, asymmetric signing/verification and key generation, validate_key
2062 entry point, and export_public_key interface.)
2063 * Add support for ECB to the PSA cipher API.
2064 * In PSA, allow using a key declared with a base key agreement algorithm
2065 in combined key agreement and derivation operations, as long as the key
2066 agreement algorithm in use matches the algorithm the key was declared with.
2067 This is currently non-standard behaviour, but expected to make it into a
2068 future revision of the PSA Crypto standard.
2069 * Add MBEDTLS_TARGET_PREFIX CMake variable, which is prefixed to the mbedtls,
2070 mbedcrypto, mbedx509 and apidoc CMake target names. This can be used by
2071 external CMake projects that include this one to avoid CMake target name
2072 clashes. The default value of this variable is "", so default target names
2073 are unchanged.
2074 * Add support for DTLS-SRTP as defined in RFC 5764. Contributed by Johan
2075 Pascal, improved by Ron Eldor.
2076 * In the PSA API, it is no longer necessary to open persistent keys:
2077 operations now accept the key identifier. The type psa_key_handle_t is now
2078 identical to psa_key_id_t instead of being platform-defined. This bridges
2079 the last major gap to compliance with the PSA Cryptography specification
2080 version 1.0.0. Opening persistent keys is still supported for backward
2081 compatibility, but will be deprecated and later removed in future
2082 releases.
2083 * PSA_AEAD_NONCE_LENGTH, PSA_AEAD_NONCE_MAX_SIZE, PSA_CIPHER_IV_LENGTH and
2084 PSA_CIPHER_IV_MAX_SIZE macros have been added as defined in version
2085 1.0.0 of the PSA Crypto API specification.
2086
2087Security
2088 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
2089 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() would write past the minimum documented
2090 size of the output buffer when used with NIST_KW. As a result, code using
2091 those functions as documented with NIST_KW could have a buffer overwrite
2092 of up to 15 bytes, with consequences ranging up to arbitrary code
2093 execution depending on the location of the output buffer.
2094 * Limit the size of calculations performed by mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod to
2095 MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE to prevent a potential denial of service when
2096 generating Diffie-Hellman key pairs. Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
2097 * A failure of the random generator was ignored in mbedtls_mpi_fill_random(),
2098 which is how most uses of randomization in asymmetric cryptography
2099 (including key generation, intermediate value randomization and blinding)
2100 are implemented. This could cause failures or the silent use of non-random
2101 values. A random generator can fail if it needs reseeding and cannot not
2102 obtain entropy, or due to an internal failure (which, for Mbed TLS's own
2103 CTR_DRBG or HMAC_DRBG, can only happen due to a misconfiguration).
2104 * Fix a compliance issue whereby we were not checking the tag on the
2105 algorithm parameters (only the size) when comparing the signature in the
2106 description part of the cert to the real signature. This meant that a
2107 NULL algorithm parameters entry would look identical to an array of REAL
2108 (size zero) to the library and thus the certificate would be considered
2109 valid. However, if the parameters do not match in *any* way then the
2110 certificate should be considered invalid, and indeed OpenSSL marks these
2111 certs as invalid when mbedtls did not.
2112 Many thanks to guidovranken who found this issue via differential fuzzing
2113 and reported it in #3629.
2114 * Zeroising of local buffers and variables which are used for calculations
2115 in mbedtls_pkcs5_pbkdf2_hmac(), mbedtls_internal_sha*_process(),
2116 mbedtls_internal_md*_process() and mbedtls_internal_ripemd160_process()
2117 functions to erase sensitive data from memory. Reported by
2118 Johan Malmgren and Johan Uppman Bruce from Sectra.
2119
2120Bugfix
2121 * Fix an invalid (but nonzero) return code from mbedtls_pk_parse_subpubkey()
2122 when the input has trailing garbage. Fixes #2512.
2123 * Fix build failure in configurations where MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is
2124 enabled but ECDSA is disabled. Contributed by jdurkop. Fixes #3294.
2125 * Include the psa_constant_names generated source code in the source tree
2126 instead of generating it at build time. Fixes #3524.
2127 * Fix rsa_prepare_blinding() to retry when the blinding value is not
2128 invertible (mod N), instead of returning MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_RNG_FAILED. This
2129 addresses a regression but is rare in practice (approx. 1 in 2/sqrt(N)).
2130 Found by Synopsys Coverity, fix contributed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin).
2131 Fixes #3647.
2132 * Use socklen_t on Android and other POSIX-compliant system
2133 * Fix the build when the macro _GNU_SOURCE is defined to a non-empty value.
2134 Fix #3432.
2135 * Consistently return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT on invalid cipher input
2136 sizes (instead of PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATE in some cases) to make the
2137 psa_cipher_* functions compliant with the PSA Crypto API specification.
2138 * mbedtls_ecp_curve_list() now lists Curve25519 and Curve448 under the names
2139 "x25519" and "x448". These curves support ECDH but not ECDSA. If you need
2140 only the curves that support ECDSA, filter the list with
2141 mbedtls_ecdsa_can_do().
2142 * Fix psa_generate_key() returning an error when asked to generate
2143 an ECC key pair on Curve25519 or secp244k1.
2144 * Fix psa_key_derivation_output_key() to allow the output of a combined key
2145 agreement and subsequent key derivation operation to be used as a key
2146 inside of the PSA Crypto core.
2147 * Fix handling of EOF against 0xff bytes and on platforms with unsigned
2148 chars. Fixes a build failure on platforms where char is unsigned. Fixes
2149 #3794.
2150 * Fix an off-by-one error in the additional data length check for
2151 CCM, which allowed encryption with a non-standard length field.
2152 Fixes #3719.
2153 * Correct the default IV size for mbedtls_cipher_info_t structures using
2154 MBEDTLS_MODE_ECB to 0, since ECB mode ciphers don't use IVs.
2155 * Make arc4random_buf available on NetBSD and OpenBSD when _POSIX_C_SOURCE is
2156 defined. Fix contributed in #3571.
2157 * Fix conditions for including string.h in error.c. Fixes #3866.
2158 * psa_set_key_id() now also sets the lifetime to persistent for keys located
2159 in a secure element.
2160 * Attempting to create a volatile key with a non-zero key identifier now
2161 fails. Previously the key identifier was just ignored when creating a
2162 volatile key.
2163 * Attempting to create or register a key with a key identifier in the vendor
2164 range now fails.
2165 * Fix build failures on GCC 11. Fixes #3782.
2166 * Add missing arguments of debug message in mbedtls_ssl_decrypt_buf.
2167 * Fix a memory leak in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() when the result was negative
2168 (an error condition) and the second operand was aliased to the result.
2169 * Fix a case in elliptic curve arithmetic where an out-of-memory condition
2170 could go undetected, resulting in an incorrect result.
2171 * In CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG, don't reset the reseed interval in seed().
2172 Fixes #2927.
2173 * In PEM writing functions, fill the trailing part of the buffer with null
2174 bytes. This guarantees that the corresponding parsing function can read
2175 the buffer back, which was the case for mbedtls_x509write_{crt,csr}_pem
2176 until this property was inadvertently broken in Mbed TLS 2.19.0.
2177 Fixes #3682.
2178 * Fix a build failure that occurred with the MBEDTLS_AES_SETKEY_DEC_ALT
2179 option on. In this configuration key management methods that are required
2180 for MBEDTLS_CIPHER_MODE_XTS were excluded from the build and made it fail.
2181 Fixes #3818. Reported by John Stroebel.
2182
2183Changes
2184 * Reduce stack usage significantly during sliding window exponentiation.
2185 Reported in #3591 and fix contributed in #3592 by Daniel Otte.
2186 * The PSA persistent storage format is updated to always store the key bits
2187 attribute. No automatic upgrade path is provided. Previously stored keys
2188 must be erased, or manually upgraded based on the key storage format
2189 specification (docs/architecture/mbed-crypto-storage-specification.md).
2190 Fixes #3740.
2191 * Remove the zeroization of a pointer variable in AES rounds. It was valid
2192 but spurious and misleading since it looked like a mistaken attempt to
2193 zeroize the pointed-to buffer. Reported by Antonio de la Piedra, CEA
2194 Leti, France.

2198API changes
2199 * In the PSA API, rename the types of elliptic curve and Diffie-Hellman
2200 group families to psa_ecc_family_t and psa_dh_family_t, in line with the
2201 PSA Crypto API specification version 1.0.0.
2202 Rename associated macros as well:
2203 PSA_ECC_CURVE_xxx renamed to PSA_ECC_FAMILY_xxx
2204 PSA_DH_GROUP_xxx renamed to PSA_DH_FAMILY_xxx
2205 PSA_KEY_TYPE_GET_CURVE renamed to to PSA_KEY_TYPE_ECC_GET_FAMILY
2206 PSA_KEY_TYPE_GET_GROUP renamed to PSA_KEY_TYPE_DH_GET_FAMILY
2207
2208Default behavior changes
2209 * Stop storing persistent information about externally stored keys created
2210 through PSA Crypto with a volatile lifetime. Reported in #3288 and
2211 contributed by Steven Cooreman in #3382.
2212
2213Features
2214 * The new function mbedtls_ecp_write_key() exports private ECC keys back to
2215 a byte buffer. It is the inverse of the existing mbedtls_ecp_read_key().
2216 * Support building on e2k (Elbrus) architecture: correctly enable
2217 -Wformat-signedness, and fix the code that causes signed-one-bit-field
2218 and sign-compare warnings. Contributed by makise-homura (Igor Molchanov)
2219 <akemi_homura@kurisa.ch>.
2220
2221Security
2222 * Fix a vulnerability in the verification of X.509 certificates when
2223 matching the expected common name (the cn argument of
2224 mbedtls_x509_crt_verify()) with the actual certificate name: when the
2225 subjecAltName extension is present, the expected name was compared to any
2226 name in that extension regardless of its type. This means that an
2227 attacker could for example impersonate a 4-bytes or 16-byte domain by
2228 getting a certificate for the corresponding IPv4 or IPv6 (this would
2229 require the attacker to control that IP address, though). Similar attacks
2230 using other subjectAltName name types might be possible. Found and
2231 reported by kFYatek in #3498.
2232 * When checking X.509 CRLs, a certificate was only considered as revoked if
2233 its revocationDate was in the past according to the local clock if
2234 available. In particular, on builds without MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE,
2235 certificates were never considered as revoked. On builds with
2236 MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE, an attacker able to control the local clock (for
2237 example, an untrusted OS attacking a secure enclave) could prevent
2238 revocation of certificates via CRLs. Fixed by no longer checking the
2239 revocationDate field, in accordance with RFC 5280. Reported by
2240 yuemonangong in #3340. Reported independently and fixed by
2241 Raoul Strackx and Jethro Beekman in #3433.
2242 * In (D)TLS record decryption, when using a CBC ciphersuites without the
2243 Encrypt-then-Mac extension, use constant code flow memory access patterns
2244 to extract and check the MAC. This is an improvement to the existing
2245 countermeasure against Lucky 13 attacks. The previous countermeasure was
2246 effective against network-based attackers, but less so against local
2247 attackers. The new countermeasure defends against local attackers, even
2248 if they have access to fine-grained measurements. In particular, this
2249 fixes a local Lucky 13 cache attack found and reported by Tuba Yavuz,
2250 Farhaan Fowze, Ken (Yihan) Bai, Grant Hernandez, and Kevin Butler
2251 (University of Florida) and Dave Tian (Purdue University).
2252 * Fix side channel in RSA private key operations and static (finite-field)
2253 Diffie-Hellman. An adversary with precise enough timing and memory access
2254 information (typically an untrusted operating system attacking a secure
2255 enclave) could bypass an existing counter-measure (base blinding) and
2256 potentially fully recover the private key.
2257 * Fix a 1-byte buffer overread in mbedtls_x509_crl_parse_der().
2258 Credit to OSS-Fuzz for detecting the problem and to Philippe Antoine
2259 for pinpointing the problematic code.
2260 * Zeroising of plaintext buffers in mbedtls_ssl_read() to erase unused
2261 application data from memory. Reported in #689 by
2262 Johan Uppman Bruce of Sectra.
2263
2264Bugfix
2265 * Library files installed after a CMake build no longer have execute
2266 permission.
2267 * Use local labels in mbedtls_padlock_has_support() to fix an invalid symbol
2268 redefinition if the function is inlined.
2269 Reported in #3451 and fix contributed in #3452 by okhowang.
2270 * Fix the endianness of Curve25519 keys imported/exported through the PSA
2271 APIs. psa_import_key and psa_export_key will now correctly expect/output
2272 Montgomery keys in little-endian as defined by RFC7748. Contributed by
2273 Steven Cooreman in #3425.
2274 * Fix build errors when the only enabled elliptic curves are Montgomery
2275 curves. Raised by signpainter in #941 and by Taiki-San in #1412. This
2276 also fixes missing declarations reported by Steven Cooreman in #1147.
2277 * Fix self-test failure when the only enabled short Weierstrass elliptic
2278 curve is secp192k1. Fixes #2017.
2279 * PSA key import will now correctly import a Curve25519/Curve448 public key
2280 instead of erroring out. Contributed by Steven Cooreman in #3492.
2281 * Use arc4random_buf on NetBSD instead of rand implementation with cyclical
2282 lower bits. Fix contributed in #3540.
2283 * Fix a memory leak in mbedtls_md_setup() when using HMAC under low memory
2284 conditions. Reported and fix suggested by Guido Vranken in #3486.
2285 * Fix bug in redirection of unit test outputs on platforms where stdout is
2286 defined as a macro. First reported in #2311 and fix contributed in #3528.
2287
2288Changes
2289 * Only pass -Wformat-signedness to versions of GCC that support it. Reported
2290 in #3478 and fix contributed in #3479 by okhowang.
2291 * Reduce the stack consumption of mbedtls_x509write_csr_der() which
2292 previously could lead to stack overflow on constrained devices.
2293 Contributed by Doru Gucea and Simon Leet in #3464.
2294 * Undefine the ASSERT macro before defining it locally, in case it is defined
2295 in a platform header. Contributed by Abdelatif Guettouche in #3557.
2296 * Update copyright notices to use Linux Foundation guidance. As a result,
2297 the copyright of contributors other than Arm is now acknowledged, and the
2298 years of publishing are no longer tracked in the source files. This also
2299 eliminates the need for the lines declaring the files to be part of
2300 MbedTLS. Fixes #3457.
2301 * Add the command line parameter key_pwd to the ssl_client2 and ssl_server2
2302 example applications which allows to provide a password for the key file
2303 specified through the existing key_file argument. This allows the use of
2304 these applications with password-protected key files. Analogously but for
2305 ssl_server2 only, add the command line parameter key_pwd2 which allows to
2306 set a password for the key file provided through the existing key_file2
2307 argument.

2311Default behavior changes
2312 * In the experimental PSA secure element interface, change the encoding of
2313 key lifetimes to encode a persistence level and the location. Although C
2314 prototypes do not effectively change, code calling
2315 psa_register_se_driver() must be modified to pass the driver's location
2316 instead of the keys' lifetime. If the library is upgraded on an existing
2317 device, keys created with the old lifetime value will not be readable or
2318 removable through Mbed TLS after the upgrade.
2319
2320Features
2321 * New functions in the error module return constant strings for
2322 high- and low-level error codes, complementing mbedtls_strerror()
2323 which constructs a string for any error code, including compound
2324 ones, but requires a writable buffer. Contributed by Gaurav Aggarwal
2325 in #3176.
2326 * The new utility programs/ssl/ssl_context_info prints a human-readable
2327 dump of an SSL context saved with mbedtls_ssl_context_save().
2328 * Add support for midipix, a POSIX layer for Microsoft Windows.
2329 * Add new mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() routine which allows
2330 parsing unsupported certificate extensions via user provided callback.
2331 Contributed by Nicola Di Lieto <nicola.dilieto@gmail.com> in #3243 as
2332 a solution to #3241.
2333 * Pass the "certificate policies" extension to the callback supplied to
2334 mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() if it contains unsupported
2335 policies (#3419).
2336 * Added support to entropy_poll for the kern.arandom syscall supported on
2337 some BSD systems. Contributed by Nia Alarie in #3423.
2338 * Add support for Windows 2000 in net_sockets. Contributed by opatomic. #3239

2341 * Fix a side channel vulnerability in modular exponentiation that could
2342 reveal an RSA private key used in a secure enclave. Noticed by Sangho Lee,
2343 Ming-Wei Shih, Prasun Gera, Taesoo Kim and Hyesoon Kim (Georgia Institute
2344 of Technology); and Marcus Peinado (Microsoft Research). Reported by Raoul
2345 Strackx (Fortanix) in #3394.
2346 * Fix side channel in mbedtls_ecp_check_pub_priv() and
2347 mbedtls_pk_parse_key() / mbedtls_pk_parse_keyfile() (when loading a
2348 private key that didn't include the uncompressed public key), as well as
2349 mbedtls_ecp_mul() / mbedtls_ecp_mul_restartable() when called with a NULL
2350 f_rng argument. An attacker with access to precise enough timing and
2351 memory access information (typically an untrusted operating system
2352 attacking a secure enclave) could fully recover the ECC private key.
2353 Found and reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Brumley.
2354 * Fix issue in Lucky 13 counter-measure that could make it ineffective when
2355 hardware accelerators were used (using one of the MBEDTLS_SHAxxx_ALT
2356 macros). This would cause the original Lucky 13 attack to be possible in
2357 those configurations, allowing an active network attacker to recover
2358 plaintext after repeated timing measurements under some conditions.
2359 Reported and fix suggested by Luc Perneel in #3246.
2360
2361Bugfix
2362 * Fix the Visual Studio Release x64 build configuration for mbedtls itself.
2363 Completes a previous fix in Mbed TLS 2.19 that only fixed the build for
2364 the example programs. Reported in #1430 and fix contributed by irwir.
2365 * Fix undefined behavior in X.509 certificate parsing if the
2366 pathLenConstraint basic constraint value is equal to INT_MAX.
2367 The actual effect with almost every compiler is the intended
2368 behavior, so this is unlikely to be exploitable anywhere. #3192
2369 * Fix issue with a detected HW accelerated record error not being exposed
2370 due to shadowed variable. Contributed by Sander Visser in #3310.
2371 * Avoid NULL pointer dereferencing if mbedtls_ssl_free() is called with a
2372 NULL pointer argument. Contributed by Sander Visser in #3312.
2373 * Fix potential linker errors on dual world platforms by inlining
2374 mbedtls_gcc_group_to_psa(). This allows the pk.c module to link separately
2375 from psa_crypto.c. Fixes #3300.
2376 * Remove dead code in X.509 certificate parsing. Contributed by irwir in
2377 #2855.
2378 * Include asn1.h in error.c. Fixes #3328 reported by David Hu.
2379 * Fix potential memory leaks in ecp_randomize_jac() and ecp_randomize_mxz()
2380 when PRNG function fails. Contributed by Jonas Lejeune in #3318.
2381 * Remove unused macros from MSVC projects. Reported in #3297 and fix
2382 submitted in #3333 by irwir.
2383 * Add additional bounds checks in ssl_write_client_hello() preventing
2384 output buffer overflow if the configuration declared a buffer that was
2385 too small.
2386 * Set _POSIX_C_SOURCE to at least 200112L in C99 code. Reported in #3420 and
2387 fix submitted in #3421 by Nia Alarie.
2388 * Fix building library/net_sockets.c and the ssl_mail_client program on
2389 NetBSD. Contributed by Nia Alarie in #3422.
2390 * Fix false positive uninitialised variable reported by cpp-check.
2391 Contributed by Sander Visser in #3311.
2392 * Update iv and len context pointers manually when reallocating buffers
2393 using the MBEDTLS_SSL_VARIABLE_BUFFER_LENGTH feature. This caused issues
2394 when receiving a connection with CID, when these fields were shifted
2395 in ssl_parse_record_header().
2396
2397Changes
2398 * Fix warnings about signedness issues in format strings. The build is now
2399 clean of -Wformat-signedness warnings. Contributed by Kenneth Soerensen
2400 in #3153.
2401 * Fix minor performance issue in operations on Curve25519 caused by using a
2402 suboptimal modular reduction in one place. Found and fix contributed by
2403 Aurelien Jarno in #3209.
2404 * Combine identical cases in switch statements in md.c. Contributed
2405 by irwir in #3208.
2406 * Simplify a bounds check in ssl_write_certificate_request(). Contributed
2407 by irwir in #3150.
2408 * Unify the example programs termination to call mbedtls_exit() instead of
2409 using a return command. This has been done to enable customization of the
2410 behavior in bare metal environments.
2411 * Fix mbedtls_x509_dn_gets to escape non-ASCII characters as "?".
2412 Contributed by Koh M. Nakagawa in #3326.
2413 * Use FindPython3 when cmake version >= 3.15.0
2414 * Abort the ClientHello writing function as soon as some extension doesn't
2415 fit into the record buffer. Previously, such extensions were silently
2416 dropped. As a consequence, the TLS handshake now fails when the output
2417 buffer is not large enough to hold the ClientHello.
2418 * The unit tests now rely on header files in tests/include/test and source
2419 files in tests/src. When building with make or cmake, the files in
2420 tests/src are compiled and the resulting object linked into each test
2421 executable.
2422 * The ECP module, enabled by `MBEDTLS_ECP_C`, now depends on
2423 `MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_C` or `MBEDTLS_HMAC_DRBG_C` for some side-channel
2424 coutermeasures. If side channels are not a concern, this dependency can
2425 be avoided by enabling the new option `MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_INTERNAL_RNG`.
2426 * Align MSVC error flag with GCC and Clang. Contributed by Carlos Gomes
2427 Martinho. #3147
2428 * Remove superfluous assignment in mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate(). Reported

2434New deprecations
2435 * Deprecate MBEDTLS_SSL_HW_RECORD_ACCEL that enables function hooks in the
2436 SSL module for hardware acceleration of individual records.
2437 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len() in favour of
2438 mbedtls_ssl_get_output_max_frag_len() and
2439 mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() to be more precise about which max
2440 fragment length is desired.
2441
2442Security
2443 * Fix issue in DTLS handling of new associations with the same parameters
2444 (RFC 6347 section 4.2.8): an attacker able to send forged UDP packets to
2445 the server could cause it to drop established associations with
2446 legitimate clients, resulting in a Denial of Service. This could only
2447 happen when MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE was enabled in config.h
2448 (which it is by default).
2449 * Fix side channel in ECC code that allowed an adversary with access to
2450 precise enough timing and memory access information (typically an
2451 untrusted operating system attacking a secure enclave) to fully recover
2452 an ECDSA private key. Found and reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya,
2453 Billy Brumley and Cesar Pereida Garcia. CVE-2020-10932
2454 * Fix a potentially remotely exploitable buffer overread in a
2455 DTLS client when parsing the Hello Verify Request message.
2456
2457Features
2458 * The new build option MBEDTLS_SSL_VARIABLE_BUFFER_LENGTH automatically
2459 resizes the I/O buffers before and after handshakes, reducing the memory
2460 consumption during application data transfer.

2462Bugfix
2463 * Fix compilation failure when both MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_DTLS and
2464 MBEDTLS_SSL_HW_RECORD_ACCEL are enabled.
2465 * Remove a spurious check in ssl_parse_client_psk_identity that triggered
2466 a warning with some compilers. Fix contributed by irwir in #2856.
2467 * Fix a function name in a debug message. Contributed by Ercan Ozturk in
2468 #3013.
2469
2470Changes
2471 * Mbed Crypto is no longer a Git submodule. The crypto part of the library
2472 is back directly in the present repository.
2473 * Split mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len() into
2474 mbedtls_ssl_get_output_max_frag_len() and
2475 mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() to ensure that a sufficient input
2476 buffer is allocated by the server (if MBEDTLS_SSL_VARIABLE_BUFFER_LENGTH
2477 is defined), regardless of what MFL was configured for it.

2483 SSLv2 ClientHello messages.
2484 * Deprecate MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_SSL3 that enables support for SSLv3.
2485 * Deprecate for MBEDTLS_PKCS11_C, the wrapper around the pkcs11-helper
2486 library which allows TLS authentication to use keys stored in a
2487 PKCS#11 token such as a smartcard.
2488
2489Security
2490 * Fix potential memory overread when performing an ECDSA signature
2491 operation. The overread only happens with cryptographically low
2492 probability (of the order of 2^-n where n is the bitsize of the curve)
2493 unless the RNG is broken, and could result in information disclosure or
2494 denial of service (application crash or extra resource consumption).
2495 Found by Auke Zeilstra and Peter Schwabe, using static analysis.
2496 * To avoid a side channel vulnerability when parsing an RSA private key,
2497 read all the CRT parameters from the DER structure rather than
2498 reconstructing them. Found by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Bob
2499 Brumley. Reported and fix contributed by Jack Lloyd.

2503 * The new build option MBEDTLS_SHA512_NO_SHA384 allows building SHA-512
2504 support without SHA-384.
2505
2506API changes
2507 * Change the encoding of key types and curves in the PSA API. The new
2508 values are aligned with the upcoming release of the PSA Crypto API
2509 specification version 1.0.0. The main change which may break some
2510 existing code is that elliptic curve key types no longer encode the
2511 exact curve: a psa_ecc_curve_t or psa_key_type_t value only encodes
2512 a curve family and the key size determines the exact curve (for example,
2513 PSA_ECC_CURVE_SECP_R1 with 256 bits is P256R1). ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#330
2514
2515Bugfix
2516 * Fix an unchecked call to mbedtls_md() in the x509write module.
2517 * Fix build failure with MBEDTLS_ZLIB_SUPPORT enabled. Reported by
2518 Jack Lloyd in #2859. Fix submitted by jiblime in #2963.
2519 * Fix some false-positive uninitialized variable warnings in X.509. Fix
2520 contributed by apple-ihack-geek in #2663.
2521 * Fix a possible error code mangling in psa_mac_verify_finish() when
2522 a cryptographic accelerator fails. ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#345
2523 * Fix a bug in mbedtls_pk_parse_key() that would cause it to accept some
2524 RSA keys that would later be rejected by functions expecting private
2525 keys. Found by Catena cyber using oss-fuzz (issue 20467).
2526 * Fix a bug in mbedtls_pk_parse_key() that would cause it to
2527 accept some RSA keys with invalid values by silently fixing those values.

2531Default behavior changes
2532 * The initial seeding of a CTR_DRBG instance makes a second call to the
2533 entropy function to obtain entropy for a nonce if the entropy size is less
2534 than 3/2 times the key size. In case you want to disable the extra call to
2535 grab entropy, you can call mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len() to force the
2536 nonce length to 0.
2537
2538Security
2539 * Enforce that mbedtls_entropy_func() gathers a total of
2540 MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_BLOCK_SIZE bytes or more from strong sources. In the
2541 default configuration, on a platform with a single entropy source, the
2542 entropy module formerly only grabbed 32 bytes, which is good enough for
2543 security if the source is genuinely strong, but less than the expected 64
2544 bytes (size of the entropy accumulator).
2545 * Zeroize local variables in mbedtls_internal_aes_encrypt() and
2546 mbedtls_internal_aes_decrypt() before exiting the function. The value of
2547 these variables can be used to recover the last round key. To follow best
2548 practice and to limit the impact of buffer overread vulnerabilities (like
2549 Heartbleed) we need to zeroize them before exiting the function.
2550 Issue reported by Tuba Yavuz, Farhaan Fowze, Ken (Yihang) Bai,
2551 Grant Hernandez, and Kevin Butler (University of Florida) and
2552 Dave Tian (Purdue University).
2553 * Fix side channel vulnerability in ECDSA. Our bignum implementation is not
2554 constant time/constant trace, so side channel attacks can retrieve the
2555 blinded value, factor it (as it is smaller than RSA keys and not guaranteed
2556 to have only large prime factors), and then, by brute force, recover the
2557 key. Reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Brumley.
2558 * Fix side channel vulnerability in ECDSA key generation. Obtaining precise
2559 timings on the comparison in the key generation enabled the attacker to
2560 learn leading bits of the ephemeral key used during ECDSA signatures and to
2561 recover the private key. Reported by Jeremy Dubeuf.
2562 * Catch failure of AES functions in mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random(). Uncaught
2563 failures could happen with alternative implementations of AES. Bug
2564 reported and fix proposed by Johan Uppman Bruce and Christoffer Lauri,
2565 Sectra.
2566
2567Features
2568 * Key derivation inputs in the PSA API can now either come from a key object
2569 or from a buffer regardless of the step type.
2570 * The CTR_DRBG module can grab a nonce from the entropy source during the
2571 initial seeding. The default nonce length is chosen based on the key size
2572 to achieve the security strength defined by NIST SP 800-90A. You can
2573 change it with mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len().
2574 * Add ENUMERATED tag support to the ASN.1 module. Contributed by
2575 msopiha-linaro in ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#307.
2576
2577API changes
2578 * In the PSA API, forbid zero-length keys. To pass a zero-length input to a
2579 key derivation function, use a buffer instead (this is now always
2580 possible).
2581 * Rename psa_asymmetric_sign() to psa_sign_hash() and
2582 psa_asymmetric_verify() to psa_verify_hash().

2590 Fixes #2801.
2591 * Fix a buffer overflow in the PSA HMAC code when using a long key with an
2592 unsupported algorithm. Fixes ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#254.
2593 * Fix mbedtls_asn1_get_int to support any number of leading zeros. Credit
2594 to OSS-Fuzz for finding a bug in an intermediate version of the fix.
2595 * Fix mbedtls_asn1_get_bitstring_null to correctly parse bitstrings of at
2596 most 2 bytes.
2597 * mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_entropy_len() and
2598 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_set_entropy_len() now work if you call them before
2599 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed() or mbedtls_hmac_drbg_seed().
2600
2601Changes
2602 * Remove the technical possibility to define custom mbedtls_md_info
2603 structures, which was exposed only in an internal header.
2604 * psa_close_key(0) and psa_destroy_key(0) now succeed (doing nothing, as
2605 before).
2606 * Variables containing error codes are now initialized to an error code
2607 rather than success, so that coding mistakes or memory corruption tends to
2608 cause functions to return this error code rather than a success. There are
2609 no known instances where this changes the behavior of the library: this is
2610 merely a robustness improvement. ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#323

2638 * Fix a missing error detection in ECJPAKE. This could have caused a
2639 predictable shared secret if a hardware accelerator failed and the other
2640 side of the key exchange had a similar bug.
2641 * When writing a private EC key, use a constant size for the private
2642 value, as specified in RFC 5915. Previously, the value was written
2643 as an ASN.1 INTEGER, which caused the size of the key to leak
2644 about 1 bit of information on average and could cause the value to be
2645 1 byte too large for the output buffer.
2646 * The deterministic ECDSA calculation reused the scheme's HMAC-DRBG to
2647 implement blinding. Because of this for the same key and message the same
2648 blinding value was generated. This reduced the effectiveness of the
2649 countermeasure and leaked information about the private key through side
2650 channels. Reported by Jack Lloyd.
2651
2652Features
2653 * Add new API functions mbedtls_ssl_session_save() and
2654 mbedtls_ssl_session_load() to allow serializing a session, for example to
2655 store it in non-volatile storage, and later using it for TLS session
2656 resumption.
2657 * Add a new API function mbedtls_ssl_check_record() to allow checking that
2658 an incoming record is valid, authentic and has not been seen before. This
2659 feature can be used alongside Connection ID and SSL context serialisation.
2660 The feature is enabled at compile-time by MBEDTLS_SSL_RECORD_CHECKING
2661 option.
2662 * New implementation of X25519 (ECDH using Curve25519) from Project Everest
2663 (https://project-everest.github.io/). It can be enabled at compile time
2664 with MBEDTLS_ECDH_VARIANT_EVEREST_ENABLED. This implementation is formally
2665 verified and significantly faster, but is only supported on x86 platforms
2666 (32-bit and 64-bit) using GCC, Clang or Visual Studio. Contributed by
2667 Christoph Wintersteiger from Microsoft Research.
2668 * Add mbedtls_net_close(), enabling the building of forking servers where
2669 the parent process closes the client socket and continue accepting, and
2670 the child process closes the listening socket and handles the client
2671 socket. Contributed by Robert Larsen in #2803.
2672
2673API Changes
2674 * Add DER-encoded test CRTs to library/certs.c, allowing
2675 the example programs ssl_server2 and ssl_client2 to be run
2676 if MBEDTLS_FS_IO and MBEDTLS_PEM_PARSE_C are unset. Fixes #2254.
2677 * The HAVEGE state type now uses uint32_t elements instead of int.
2678 * The functions mbedtls_ecp_curve_list() and mbedtls_ecp_grp_id_list() now
2679 list all curves for which at least one of ECDH or ECDSA is supported, not
2680 just curves for which both are supported. Call mbedtls_ecdsa_can_do() or
2681 mbedtls_ecdh_can_do() on each result to check whether each algorithm is
2682 supported.
2683 * The new function mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det_ext() is similar to
2684 mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det() but allows passing an external RNG for the
2685 purpose of blinding.
2686
2687New deprecations
2688 * Deprecate mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det() in favor of a functions that can take an
2689 RNG function as an input.
2690 * Calling mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature() with NULL as the f_rng argument
2691 is now deprecated.
2692
2693Bugfix
2694 * Fix missing bounds checks in X.509 parsing functions that could
2695 lead to successful parsing of ill-formed X.509 CRTs. Fixes #2437.
2696 * Fix multiple X.509 functions previously returning ASN.1 low-level error
2697 codes to always wrap these codes into X.509 high level error codes before
2698 returning. Fixes #2431.
2699 * Fix to allow building test suites with any warning that detects unused
2700 functions. Fixes #1628.
2701 * Fix typo in net_would_block(). Fixes #528 reported by github-monoculture.
2702 * Remove redundant include file in timing.c. Fixes #2640 reported by irwir.
2703 * Fix build failure when building with mingw on Windows by including
2704 stdarg.h where needed. Fixes #2656.
2705 * Fix Visual Studio Release x64 build configuration by inheriting
2706 PlatformToolset from the project configuration. Fixes #1430 reported by

2708 * Enable Suite B with subset of ECP curves. Make sure the code compiles even
2709 if some curves are not defined. Fixes #1591 reported by dbedev.
2710 * Fix misuse of signed arithmetic in the HAVEGE module. #2598
2711 * Avoid use of statically sized stack buffers for certificate writing.
2712 This previously limited the maximum size of DER encoded certificates
2713 in mbedtls_x509write_crt_der() to 2Kb. Reported by soccerGB in #2631.
2714 * Fix partial zeroing in x509_get_other_name. Found and fixed by ekse, #2716.
2715 * Update test certificates that were about to expire. Reported by
2716 Bernhard M. Wiedemann in #2357.
2717 * Fix the build on ARMv5TE in ARM mode to not use assembly instructions
2718 that are only available in Thumb mode. Fix contributed by Aurelien Jarno
2719 in #2169.
2720 * Fix propagation of restart contexts in restartable EC operations.
2721 This could previously lead to segmentation faults in builds using an
2722 address-sanitizer and enabling but not using MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE.

2735 suggests). #2671
2736 * Make `make clean` clean all programs always. Fixes #1862.
2737 * Add a Dockerfile and helper scripts (all-in-docker.sh, basic-in-docker.sh,
2738 docker-env.sh) to simplify running test suites on a Linux host. Contributed
2739 by Peter Kolbus (Garmin).
2740 * Add `reproducible` option to `ssl_client2` and `ssl_server2` to enable
2741 test runs without variability. Contributed by Philippe Antoine (Catena
2742 cyber) in #2681.
2743 * Extended .gitignore to ignore Visual Studio artifacts. Fixed by ConfusedSushi.
2744 * Adds fuzz targets, especially for continuous fuzzing with OSS-Fuzz.
2745 Contributed by Philippe Antoine (Catena cyber).
2746 * Remove the crypto part of the library from Mbed TLS. The crypto
2747 code and tests are now only available via Mbed Crypto, which
2748 Mbed TLS references as a Git submodule.

2762Features
2763 * Add the Any Policy certificate policy oid, as defined in
2764 rfc 5280 section 4.2.1.4.
2765 * It is now possible to use NIST key wrap mode via the mbedtls_cipher API.
2766 Contributed by Jack Lloyd and Fortanix Inc.
2767 * Add the Wi-SUN Field Area Network (FAN) device extended key usage.
2768 * Add the oid certificate policy x509 extension.
2769 * It is now possible to perform RSA PKCS v1.5 signatures with RIPEMD-160 digest.
2770 Contributed by Jack Lloyd and Fortanix Inc.
2771 * Extend the MBEDTLS_SSL_EXPORT_KEYS to export the handshake randbytes,
2772 and the used tls-prf.
2773 * Add public API for tls-prf function, according to requested enum.
2774 * Add support for parsing otherName entries in the Subject Alternative Name
2775 X.509 certificate extension, specifically type hardware module name,
2776 as defined in RFC 4108 section 5.
2777 * Add support for parsing certificate policies extension, as defined in
2778 RFC 5280 section 4.2.1.4. Currently, only the "Any Policy" policy is
2779 supported.
2780 * List all SAN types in the subject_alt_names field of the certificate.
2781 Resolves #459.
2782 * Add support for draft-05 of the Connection ID extension, as specified
2783 in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-dtls-connection-id-05.
2784 The Connection ID extension allows to keep DTLS connections beyond the
2785 lifetime of the underlying transport by adding a connection identifier
2786 to the DTLS record header. This identifier can be used to associated an
2787 incoming record with the correct connection data even after the peer has
2788 changed its IP or port. The feature is enabled at compile-time by setting
2789 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID (disabled by default), and at run-time
2790 through the new APIs mbedtls_ssl_conf_cid() and mbedtls_ssl_set_cid().

2794 * Extend the MBEDTLS_SSL_EXPORT_KEYS to export the handshake randbytes,
2795 and the used tls-prf.
2796 * Add public API for tls-prf function, according to requested enum.
2797
2798Bugfix
2799 * Fix private key DER output in the key_app_writer example. File contents
2800 were shifted by one byte, creating an invalid ASN.1 tag. Fixed by
2801 Christian Walther in #2239.
2802 * Fix potential memory leak in X.509 self test. Found and fixed by
2803 Junhwan Park, #2106.
2804 * Reduce stack usage of hkdf tests. Fixes #2195.
2805 * Fix 1-byte buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_write_string() when
2806 used with negative inputs. Found by Guido Vranken in #2404. Credit to
2807 OSS-Fuzz.
2808 * Fix bugs in the AEAD test suite which would be exposed by ciphers which
2809 either used both encrypt and decrypt key schedules, or which perform padding.
2810 GCM and CCM were not affected. Fixed by Jack Lloyd.
2811 * Fix incorrect default port number in ssl_mail_client example's usage.
2812 Found and fixed by irwir. #2337
2813 * Add psa_util.h to test/cpp_dummy_build to fix build_default_make_gcc_and_cxx.
2814 Fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin). #2579
2815 * Add missing parentheses around parameters in the definition of the
2816 public macro MBEDTLS_X509_ID_FLAG. This could lead to invalid evaluation
2817 in case operators binding less strongly than subtraction were used
2818 for the parameter.
2819 * Add a check for MBEDTLS_X509_CRL_PARSE_C in ssl_server2, guarding the crl
2820 sni entry parameter. Reported by inestlerode in #560.
2821 * Set the next sequence of the subject_alt_name to NULL when deleting
2822 sequence on failure. Found and fix suggested by Philippe Antoine.
2823 Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
2824
2825Changes
2826 * Server's RSA certificate in certs.c was SHA-1 signed. In the default
2827 mbedTLS configuration only SHA-2 signed certificates are accepted.
2828 This certificate is used in the demo server programs, which lead the
2829 client programs to fail at the peer's certificate verification
2830 due to an unacceptable hash signature. The certificate has been
2831 updated to one that is SHA-256 signed. Fix contributed by
2832 Illya Gerasymchuk.
2833 * Return from various debugging routines immediately if the
2834 provided SSL context is unset.
2835 * Remove dead code from bignum.c in the default configuration.
2836 Found by Coverity, reported and fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin). Fixes #2309.
2837 * Add test for minimal value of MBEDTLS_MPI_WINDOW_SIZE to all.sh.
2838 Contributed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin).
2839 * Change wording in the `mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_frag_len()`'s documentation to
2840 improve clarity. Fixes #2258.

2844Features
2845 * Add a new X.509 API call `mbedtls_x509_parse_der_nocopy()`
2846 which allows copy-less parsing of DER encoded X.509 CRTs,
2847 at the cost of additional lifetime constraints on the input
2848 buffer, but at the benefit of reduced RAM consumption.
2849 * Add a new function mbedtls_asn1_write_named_bitstring() to write ASN.1
2850 named bitstring in DER as required by RFC 5280 Appendix B.
2851 * Add MBEDTLS_REMOVE_3DES_CIPHERSUITES to allow removing 3DES ciphersuites
2852 from the default list (enabled by default). See
2853 https://sweet32.info/SWEET32_CCS16.pdf.
2854
2855API Changes
2856 * Add a new X.509 API call `mbedtls_x509_parse_der_nocopy()`.
2857 See the Features section for more information.
2858 * Allow to opt in to the removal the API mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()
2859 for the benefit of saving RAM, by disabling the new compile-time
2860 option MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE (enabled by default for
2861 API stability). Disabling this option makes mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()
2862 always return NULL, and removes the peer_cert field from the
2863 mbedtls_ssl_session structure which otherwise stores the peer's
2864 certificate.
2865
2866Security
2867 * Make mbedtls_ecdh_get_params return an error if the second key
2868 belongs to a different group from the first. Before, if an application
2869 passed keys that belonged to different group, the first key's data was
2870 interpreted according to the second group, which could lead to either
2871 an error or a meaningless output from mbedtls_ecdh_get_params. In the
2872 latter case, this could expose at most 5 bits of the private key.
2873
2874Bugfix
2875 * Fix a compilation issue with mbedtls_ecp_restart_ctx not being defined
2876 when MBEDTLS_ECP_ALT is defined. Reported by jwhui. Fixes #2242.
2877 * Run the AD too long test only if MBEDTLS_CCM_ALT is not defined.
2878 Raised as a comment in #1996.
2879 * Reduce the stack consumption of mbedtls_mpi_fill_random() which could
2880 previously lead to a stack overflow on constrained targets.
2881 * Add `MBEDTLS_SELF_TEST` for the mbedtls_self_test functions
2882 in the header files, which missed the precompilation check. #971
2883 * Fix returning the value 1 when mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey failed.
2884 * Remove a duplicate #include in a sample program. Fixed by Masashi Honma #2326.
2885 * Remove the mbedtls namespacing from the header file, to fix a "file not found"
2886 build error. Fixed by Haijun Gu #2319.
2887 * Fix signed-to-unsigned integer conversion warning
2888 in X.509 module. Fixes #2212.
2889 * Reduce stack usage of `mpi_write_hlp()` by eliminating recursion.
2890 Fixes #2190.
2891 * Fix false failure in all.sh when backup files exist in include/mbedtls
2892 (e.g. config.h.bak). Fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin) #2407.
2893 * Ensure that unused bits are zero when writing ASN.1 bitstrings when using
2894 mbedtls_asn1_write_bitstring().
2895 * Fix issue when writing the named bitstrings in KeyUsage and NsCertType
2896 extensions in CSRs and CRTs that caused these bitstrings to not be encoded
2897 correctly as trailing zeroes were not accounted for as unused bits in the
2898 leading content octet. Fixes #1610.
2899
2900Changes
2901 * Reduce RAM consumption during session renegotiation by not storing
2902 the peer CRT chain and session ticket twice.
2903 * Include configuration file in all header files that use configuration,
2904 instead of relying on other header files that they include.
2905 Inserted as an enhancement for #1371
2906 * Add support for alternative CSR headers, as used by Microsoft and defined
2907 in RFC 7468. Found by Michael Ernst. Fixes #767.
2908 * Correct many misspellings. Fixed by MisterDA #2371.
2909 * Provide an abstraction of vsnprintf to allow alternative implementations
2910 for platforms that don't provide it. Based on contributions by Joris Aerts
2911 and Nathaniel Wesley Filardo.
2912 * Fix clobber list in MIPS assembly for large integer multiplication.
2913 Previously, this could lead to functionally incorrect assembly being
2914 produced by some optimizing compilers, showing up as failures in
2915 e.g. RSA or ECC signature operations. Reported in #1722, fix suggested
2916 by Aurelien Jarno and submitted by Jeffrey Martin.
2917 * Reduce the complexity of the timing tests. They were assuming more than the
2918 underlying OS actually guarantees.
2919 * Fix configuration queries in ssl-opt.h. #2030
2920 * Ensure that ssl-opt.h can be run in OS X. #2029
2921 * Re-enable certain interoperability tests in ssl-opt.sh which had previously
2922 been disabled for lack of a sufficiently recent version of GnuTLS on the CI.
2923 * Ciphersuites based on 3DES now have the lowest priority by default when
2924 they are enabled.
2925

2927
2928Features
2929 * Add a new config.h option of MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS that enables validation
2930 of parameters in the API. This allows detection of obvious misuses of the
2931 API, such as passing NULL pointers. The API of existing functions hasn't
2932 changed, but requirements on parameters have been made more explicit in
2933 the documentation. See the corresponding API documentation for each
2934 function to see for which parameter values it is defined. This feature is
2935 disabled by default. See its API documentation in config.h for additional
2936 steps you have to take when enabling it.
2937
2938API Changes
2939 * The following functions in the random generator modules have been
2940 deprecated and replaced as shown below. The new functions change
2941 the return type from void to int to allow returning error codes when
2942 using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT for the underlying AES or message digest
2943 primitive. Fixes #1798.
2944 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update() -> mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret()
2945 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update() -> mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update_ret()
2946 * Extend ECDH interface to enable alternative implementations.
2947 * Deprecate error codes of the form MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx_INVALID_KEY_LENGTH for
2948 ARIA, CAMELLIA and Blowfish. These error codes will be replaced by
2949 the more generic per-module error codes MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx_BAD_INPUT_DATA.
2950 * Additional parameter validation checks have been added for the following
2951 modules - AES, ARIA, Blowfish, CAMELLIA, CCM, GCM, DHM, ECP, ECDSA, ECDH,
2952 ECJPAKE, SHA, Chacha20 and Poly1305, cipher, pk, RSA, and MPI.
2953 Where modules have had parameter validation added, existing parameter
2954 checks may have changed. Some modules, such as Chacha20 had existing
2955 parameter validation whereas other modules had little. This has now been
2956 changed so that the same level of validation is present in all modules, and
2957 that it is now optional with the MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS flag which by default
2958 is off. That means that checks which were previously present by default
2959 will no longer be.
2960
2961New deprecations
2962 * Deprecate mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update
2963 in favor of functions that can return an error code.
2964
2965Bugfix
2966 * Fix for Clang, which was reporting a warning for the bignum.c inline
2967 assembly for AMD64 targets creating string literals greater than those
2968 permitted by the ISO C99 standard. Found by Aaron Jones. Fixes #482.
2969 * Fix runtime error in `mbedtls_platform_entropy_poll()` when run
2970 through qemu user emulation. Reported and fix suggested by randombit
2971 in #1212. Fixes #1212.
2972 * Fix an unsafe bounds check when restoring an SSL session from a ticket.
2973 This could lead to a buffer overflow, but only in case ticket authentication
2974 was broken. Reported and fix suggested by Guido Vranken in #659.
2975 * Add explicit integer to enumeration type casts to example program
2976 programs/pkey/gen_key which previously led to compilation failure
2977 on some toolchains. Reported by phoenixmcallister. Fixes #2170.
2978 * Fix double initialization of ECC hardware that made some accelerators
2979 hang.
2980 * Clarify documentation of mbedtls_ssl_set_own_cert() regarding the absence
2981 of check for certificate/key matching. Reported by Attila Molnar, #507.

3003Security
3004 * Fix timing variations and memory access variations in RSA PKCS#1 v1.5
3005 decryption that could lead to a Bleichenbacher-style padding oracle
3006 attack. In TLS, this affects servers that accept ciphersuites based on
3007 RSA decryption (i.e. ciphersuites whose name contains RSA but not
3008 (EC)DH(E)). Discovered by Eyal Ronen (Weizmann Institute), Robert Gillham
3009 (University of Adelaide), Daniel Genkin (University of Michigan),
3010 Adi Shamir (Weizmann Institute), David Wong (NCC Group), and Yuval Yarom
3011 (University of Adelaide, Data61). The attack is described in more detail
3012 in the paper available here: http://cat.eyalro.net/cat.pdf CVE-2018-19608
3013 * In mbedtls_mpi_write_binary(), don't leak the exact size of the number
3014 via branching and memory access patterns. An attacker who could submit
3015 a plaintext for RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 decryption but only observe the timing
3016 of the decryption and not its result could nonetheless decrypt RSA
3017 plaintexts and forge RSA signatures. Other asymmetric algorithms may
3018 have been similarly vulnerable. Reported by Eyal Ronen, Robert Gillham,
3019 Daniel Genkin, Adi Shamir, David Wong and Yuval Yarom.
3020 * Wipe sensitive buffers on the stack in the CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG
3021 modules.
3022
3023API Changes
3024 * The new functions mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret() and
3025 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update_ret() are similar to mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update()
3026 and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update() respectively, but the new functions
3027 report errors whereas the old functions return void. We recommend that
3028 applications use the new functions.
3029
3030= mbed TLS 2.14.0 branch released 2018-11-19
3031
3032Security
3033 * Fix overly strict DN comparison when looking for CRLs belonging to a
3034 particular CA. This previously led to ignoring CRLs when the CRL's issuer
3035 name and the CA's subject name differed in their string encoding (e.g.,
3036 one using PrintableString and the other UTF8String) or in the choice of
3037 upper and lower case. Reported by Henrik Andersson of Bosch GmbH in issue
3038 #1784.
3039 * Fix a flawed bounds check in server PSK hint parsing. In case the
3040 incoming message buffer was placed within the first 64KiB of address
3041 space and a PSK-(EC)DHE ciphersuite was used, this allowed an attacker
3042 to trigger a memory access up to 64KiB beyond the incoming message buffer,
3043 potentially leading to an application crash or information disclosure.
3044 * Fix mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() to use more rounds of probabilistic testing. The
3045 previous settings for the number of rounds made it practical for an
3046 adversary to construct non-primes that would be erroneously accepted as
3047 primes with high probability. This does not have an impact on the
3048 security of TLS, but can matter in other contexts with numbers chosen
3049 potentially by an adversary that should be prime and can be validated.
3050 For example, the number of rounds was enough to securely generate RSA key
3051 pairs or Diffie-Hellman parameters, but was insufficient to validate
3052 Diffie-Hellman parameters properly.
3053 See "Prime and Prejudice" by by Martin R. Albrecht and Jake Massimo and
3054 Kenneth G. Paterson and Juraj Somorovsky.
3055
3056Features
3057 * Add support for temporarily suspending expensive ECC computations after
3058 some configurable amount of operations. This is intended to be used in
3059 constrained, single-threaded systems where ECC is time consuming and can
3060 block other operations until they complete. This is disabled by default,
3061 but can be enabled by MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE at compile time and
3062 configured by mbedtls_ecp_set_max_ops() at runtime. It applies to the new
3063 xxx_restartable functions in ECP, ECDSA, PK and X.509 (CRL not supported
3064 yet), and to existing functions in ECDH and SSL (currently only
3065 implemented client-side, for ECDHE-ECDSA ciphersuites in TLS 1.2,
3066 including client authentication).
3067 * Add support for Arm CPU DSP extensions to accelerate asymmetric key
3068 operations. On CPUs where the extensions are available, they can accelerate
3069 MPI multiplications used in ECC and RSA cryptography. Contributed by
3070 Aurelien Jarno.
3071 * Extend RSASSA-PSS signature to allow a smaller salt size. Previously, PSS
3072 signature always used a salt with the same length as the hash, and returned
3073 an error if this was not possible. Now the salt size may be up to two bytes
3074 shorter. This allows the library to support all hash and signature sizes
3075 that comply with FIPS 186-4, including SHA-512 with a 1024-bit key.
3076 * Add support for 128-bit keys in CTR_DRBG. Note that using keys shorter
3077 than 256 bits limits the security of generated material to 128 bits.
3078
3079API Changes
3080 * Add a common error code of `MBEDTLS_ERR_PLATFORM_FEATURE_UNSUPPORTED` for
3081 a feature that is not supported by underlying alternative
3082 implementations implementing cryptographic primitives. This is useful for
3083 hardware accelerators that don't implement all options or features.
3084
3085New deprecations
3086 * All module specific errors following the form
3087 MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE that indicate a feature is not
3088 supported are deprecated and are now replaced by the new equivalent
3089 platform error.
3090 * All module specific generic hardware acceleration errors following the
3091 form MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED that are deprecated and are replaced
3092 by the equivalent plaform error.
3093 * Deprecate the function mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() in favor of
3094 mbedtls_mpi_is_prime_ext() which allows specifying the number of
3095 Miller-Rabin rounds.
3096
3097Bugfix
3098 * Fix wrong order of freeing in programs/ssl/ssl_server2 example
3099 application leading to a memory leak in case both
3100 MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C and MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BACKTRACE are set.
3101 Fixes #2069.
3102 * Fix a bug in the update function for SSL ticket keys which previously
3103 invalidated keys of a lifetime of less than a 1s. Fixes #1968.
3104 * Fix failure in hmac_drbg in the benchmark sample application, when
3105 MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is defined. Found by TrinityTonic, #1095
3106 * Fix a bug in the record decryption routine ssl_decrypt_buf()
3107 which lead to accepting properly authenticated but improperly
3108 padded records in case of CBC ciphersuites using Encrypt-then-MAC.
3109 * Fix memory leak and freeing without initialization in the example
3110 program programs/x509/cert_write. Fixes #1422.
3111 * Ignore IV in mbedtls_cipher_set_iv() when the cipher mode is
3112 MBEDTLS_MODE_ECB. Found by ezdevelop. Fixes #1091.
3113 * Zeroize memory used for buffering or reassembling handshake messages
3114 after use.
3115 * Use `mbedtls_platform_zeroize()` instead of `memset()` for zeroization
3116 of sensitive data in the example programs aescrypt2 and crypt_and_hash.
3117 * Change the default string format used for various X.509 DN attributes to
3118 UTF8String. Previously, the use of the PrintableString format led to
3119 wildcards and non-ASCII characters being unusable in some DN attributes.
3120 Reported by raprepo in #1860 and by kevinpt in #468. Fix contributed by
3121 Thomas-Dee.
3122 * Fix compilation failure for configurations which use compile time
3123 replacements of standard calloc/free functions through the macros
3124 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_CALLOC_MACRO and MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_FREE_MACRO.
3125 Reported by ole-de and ddhome2006. Fixes #882, #1642 and #1706.
3126
3127Changes
3128 * Removed support for Yotta as a build tool.
3129 * Add tests for session resumption in DTLS.
3130 * Close a test gap in (D)TLS between the client side and the server side:
3131 test the handling of large packets and small packets on the client side
3132 in the same way as on the server side.
3133 * Change the dtls_client and dtls_server samples to work by default over
3134 IPv6 and optionally by a build option over IPv4.
3135 * Change the use of Windows threading to use Microsoft Visual C++ runtime
3136 calls, rather than Win32 API calls directly. This is necessary to avoid
3137 conflict with C runtime usage. Found and fixed by irwir.
3138 * Remember the string format of X.509 DN attributes when replicating
3139 X.509 DNs. Previously, DN attributes were always written in their default
3140 string format (mostly PrintableString), which could lead to CRTs being
3141 created which used PrintableStrings in the issuer field even though the
3142 signing CA used UTF8Strings in its subject field; while X.509 compliant,
3143 such CRTs were rejected in some applications, e.g. some versions of
3144 Firefox, curl and GnuTLS. Reported in #1033 by Moschn. Fix contributed by
3145 Thomas-Dee.
3146 * Improve documentation of mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result().
3147 Fixes #517 reported by github-monoculture.
3148 * Add MBEDTLS_MPI_GEN_PRIME_FLAG_LOW_ERR flag to mbedtls_mpi_gen_prime() and
3149 use it to reduce error probability in RSA key generation to levels mandated
3150 by FIPS-186-4.

3153
3154API Changes
3155 * Extend the platform module with an abstraction mbedtls_platform_gmtime_r()
3156 whose implementation should behave as a thread-safe version of gmtime().
3157 This allows users to configure such an implementation at compile time when
3158 the target system cannot be deduced automatically, by setting the option
3159 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_GMTIME_R_ALT. At this stage Mbed TLS is only able to
3160 automatically select implementations for Windows and POSIX C libraries.
3161
3162Bugfix
3163 * Fix build failures on platforms where only gmtime() is available but
3164 neither gmtime_r() nor gmtime_s() are present. Fixes #1907.
3165

3168Security
3169 * Fix an issue in the X.509 module which could lead to a buffer overread
3170 during certificate extensions parsing. In case of receiving malformed
3171 input (extensions length field equal to 0), an illegal read of one byte
3172 beyond the input buffer is made. Found and analyzed by Nathan Crandall.
3173
3174Features
3175 * Add support for fragmentation of outgoing DTLS handshake messages. This
3176 is controlled by the maximum fragment length as set locally or negotiated
3177 with the peer, as well as by a new per-connection MTU option, set using
3178 mbedtls_ssl_set_mtu().
3179 * Add support for auto-adjustment of MTU to a safe value during the
3180 handshake when flights do not get through (RFC 6347, section 4.1.1.1,
3181 last paragraph).
3182 * Add support for packing multiple records within a single datagram,
3183 enabled by default.
3184 * Add support for buffering out-of-order handshake messages in DTLS.
3185 The maximum amount of RAM used for this can be controlled by the
3186 compile-time constant MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_MAX_BUFFERING defined
3187 in mbedtls/config.h.
3188
3189API Changes
3190 * Add function mbedtls_ssl_set_datagram_packing() to configure
3191 the use of datagram packing (enabled by default).
3192
3193Bugfix
3194 * Fix a potential memory leak in mbedtls_ssl_setup() function. An allocation
3195 failure in the function could lead to other buffers being leaked.
3196 * Fixes an issue with MBEDTLS_CHACHAPOLY_C which would not compile if
3197 MBEDTLS_ARC4_C and MBEDTLS_CIPHER_NULL_CIPHER weren't also defined. #1890
3198 * Fix a memory leak in ecp_mul_comb() if ecp_precompute_comb() fails.
3199 Fix contributed by Espressif Systems.
3200 * Add ecc extensions only if an ecc based ciphersuite is used.
3201 This improves compliance to RFC 4492, and as a result, solves
3202 interoperability issues with BouncyCastle. Raised by milenamil in #1157.
3203 * Replace printf with mbedtls_printf in the ARIA module. Found by
3204 TrinityTonic in #1908.
3205 * Fix potential use-after-free in mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len()
3206 and mbedtls_ssl_get_record_expansion() after a session reset. Fixes #1941.
3207 * Fix a bug that caused SSL/TLS clients to incorrectly abort the handshake
3208 with TLS versions 1.1 and earlier when the server requested authentication
3209 without providing a list of CAs. This was due to an overly strict bounds
3210 check in parsing the CertificateRequest message,
3211 introduced in Mbed TLS 2.12.0. Fixes #1954.
3212 * Fix a miscalculation of the maximum record expansion in
3213 mbedtls_ssl_get_record_expansion() in case of ChachaPoly ciphersuites,
3214 or CBC ciphersuites in (D)TLS versions 1.1 or higher. Fixes #1913, #1914.
3215 * Fix undefined shifts with negative values in certificates parsing
3216 (found by Catena cyber using oss-fuzz)
3217 * Fix memory leak and free without initialization in pk_encrypt
3218 and pk_decrypt example programs. Reported by Brace Stout. Fixes #1128.
3219 * Remove redundant else statement. Raised by irwir. Fixes #1776.

3225 Drozd. Fixes #1215 raised by randombit.
3226 * Improve compatibility with some alternative CCM implementations by using
3227 CCM test vectors from RAM.
3228 * Add support for buffering of out-of-order handshake messages.
3229 * Add warnings to the documentation of the HKDF module to reduce the risk
3230 of misusing the mbedtls_hkdf_extract() and mbedtls_hkdf_expand()
3231 functions. Fixes #1775. Reported by Brian J. Murray.

3236 * Fix a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based on CBC and using SHA-384,
3237 in (D)TLS 1.0 to 1.2, that allowed an active network attacker to
3238 partially recover the plaintext of messages under some conditions by
3239 exploiting timing measurements. With DTLS, the attacker could perform
3240 this recovery by sending many messages in the same connection. With TLS
3241 or if mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only
3242 worked if the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly
3243 sent over connections manipulated by the attacker. Connections using GCM
3244 or CCM instead of CBC, using hash sizes other than SHA-384, or using
3245 Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected. The vulnerability was
3246 caused by a miscalculation (for SHA-384) in a countermeasure to the
3247 original Lucky 13 attack. Found by Kenny Paterson, Eyal Ronen and Adi
3248 Shamir.
3249 * Fix a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based on CBC, in (D)TLS 1.0 to
3250 1.2, that allowed a local attacker, able to execute code on the local
3251 machine as well as manipulate network packets, to partially recover the
3252 plaintext of messages under some conditions by using a cache attack
3253 targeting an internal MD/SHA buffer. With TLS or if
3254 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only worked if
3255 the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly sent over
3256 connections manipulated by the attacker. Connections using GCM or CCM
3257 instead of CBC or using Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected.
3258 Found by Kenny Paterson, Eyal Ronen and Adi Shamir.
3259 * Add a counter-measure against a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based
3260 on CBC, in (D)TLS 1.0 to 1.2, that allowed a local attacker, able to
3261 execute code on the local machine as well as manipulate network packets,
3262 to partially recover the plaintext of messages under some conditions (see
3263 previous entry) by using a cache attack targeting the SSL input record
3264 buffer. Connections using GCM or CCM instead of CBC or using
3265 Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected. Found by Kenny Paterson,
3266 Eyal Ronen and Adi Shamir.

3269 * Add new crypto primitives from RFC 7539: stream cipher Chacha20, one-time
3270 authenticator Poly1305 and AEAD construct Chacha20-Poly1305. Contributed
3271 by Daniel King.
3272 * Add support for CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites from RFC 7905.
3273 * Add platform support for the Haiku OS. (https://www.haiku-os.org).
3274 Contributed by Augustin Cavalier.
3275 * Make the receive and transmit buffers independent sizes, for situations
3276 where the outgoing buffer can be fixed at a smaller size than the incoming
3277 buffer, which can save some RAM. If buffer lengths are kept equal, there
3278 is no functional difference. Contributed by Angus Gratton, and also
3279 independently contributed again by Paul Sokolovsky.
3280 * Add support for key wrapping modes based on AES as defined by
3281 NIST SP 800-38F algorithms KW and KWP and by RFC 3394 and RFC 5649.
3282
3283Bugfix
3284 * Fix the key_app_writer example which was writing a leading zero byte which
3285 was creating an invalid ASN.1 tag. Found by Aryeh R. Fixes #1257.

3289 contributed by tabascoeye.
3290 * Clarify documentation for mbedtls_ssl_write() to include 0 as a valid
3291 return value. Found by @davidwu2000. #839
3292 * Fix a memory leak in mbedtls_x509_csr_parse(), found by catenacyber,
3293 Philippe Antoine. Fixes #1623.
3294 * Remove unused headers included in x509.c. Found by Chris Hanson and fixed
3295 by Brendan Shanks. Part of a fix for #992.
3296 * Fix compilation error when MBEDTLS_ARC4_C is disabled and
3297 MBEDTLS_CIPHER_NULL_CIPHER is enabled. Found by TrinityTonic in #1719.
3298 * Added length checks to some TLS parsing functions. Found and fixed by
3299 Philippe Antoine from Catena cyber. #1663.
3300 * Fix the inline assembly for the MPI multiply helper function for i386 and
3301 i386 with SSE2. Found by László Langó. Fixes #1550
3302 * Fix namespacing in header files. Remove the `mbedtls` namespacing in
3303 the `#include` in the header files. Resolves #857
3304 * Fix compiler warning of 'use before initialisation' in
3305 mbedtls_pk_parse_key(). Found by Martin Boye Petersen and fixed by Dawid
3306 Drozd. #1098
3307 * Fix decryption for zero length messages (which contain all padding) when a
3308 CBC based ciphersuite is used together with Encrypt-then-MAC. Previously,
3309 such a message was wrongly reported as an invalid record and therefore lead
3310 to the connection being terminated. Seen most often with OpenSSL using
3311 TLS 1.0. Reported by @kFYatek and by Conor Murphy on the forum. Fix
3312 contributed by Espressif Systems. Fixes #1632
3313 * Fix ssl_client2 example to send application data with 0-length content
3314 when the request_size argument is set to 0 as stated in the documentation.
3315 Fixes #1833.
3316 * Correct the documentation for `mbedtls_ssl_get_session()`. This API has
3317 deep copy of the session, and the peer certificate is not lost. Fixes #926.
3318 * Fix build using -std=c99. Fixed by Nick Wilson.

3341 Contributed by Aorimn in pull request #414.
3342 * In TLS servers, support offloading private key operations to an external
3343 cryptoprocessor. Private key operations can be asynchronous to allow
3344 non-blocking operation of the TLS server stack.
3345

3348 curves as well as RSA. Fixes #777 found by dbedev.

3367API Changes
3368 * Extend the platform module with a util component that contains
3369 functionality shared by multiple Mbed TLS modules. At this stage
3370 platform_util.h (and its associated platform_util.c) only contain
3371 mbedtls_platform_zeroize(), which is a critical function from a security
3372 point of view. mbedtls_platform_zeroize() needs to be regularly tested
3373 against compilers to ensure that calls to it are not removed from the
3374 output binary as part of redundant code elimination optimizations.
3375 Therefore, mbedtls_platform_zeroize() is moved to the platform module to
3376 facilitate testing and maintenance.

3390 * Fix an issue in the X.509 module which could lead to a buffer overread
3391 during certificate validation. Additionally, the issue could also lead to
3392 unnecessary callback checks being made or to some validation checks to be
3393 omitted. The overread could be triggered remotely, while the other issues
3394 would require a non DER-compliant certificate to be correctly signed by a
3395 trusted CA, or a trusted CA with a non DER-compliant certificate. Found by
3396 luocm. Fixes #825.
3397 * Fix the buffer length assertion in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
3398 function which led to an arbitrary overread of the message buffer. The
3399 overreads could be caused by receiving a malformed message at the point
3400 where an optional signature algorithms list is expected when the signature
3401 algorithms section is too short. In builds with debug output, the overread
3402 data is output with the debug data.
3403 * Fix a client-side bug in the validation of the server's ciphersuite choice
3404 which could potentially lead to the client accepting a ciphersuite it didn't
3405 offer or a ciphersuite that cannot be used with the TLS or DTLS version
3406 chosen by the server. This could lead to corruption of internal data
3407 structures for some configurations.

3411 tables during runtime, thereby reducing the RAM/ROM footprint by ~6KiB.
3412 Suggested and contributed by jkivilin in pull request #394.
3413 * Add initial support for Curve448 (RFC 7748). Only mbedtls_ecp_mul() and
3414 ECDH primitive functions (mbedtls_ecdh_gen_public(),
3415 mbedtls_ecdh_compute_shared()) are supported for now. Contributed by

3419 * Extend the public API with the function of mbedtls_net_poll() to allow user
3420 applications to wait for a network context to become ready before reading
3421 or writing.
3422 * Add function mbedtls_ssl_check_pending() to the public API to allow
3423 a check for whether more more data is pending to be processed in the
3424 internal message buffers.
3425 This function is necessary to determine when it is safe to idle on the
3426 underlying transport in case event-driven IO is used.

3440 Fixed by mnacamura.
3441 * Fix parsing of PKCS#8 encoded Elliptic Curve keys. Previously Mbed TLS was
3442 unable to parse keys which had only the optional parameters field of the
3443 ECPrivateKey structure. Found by Jethro Beekman, fixed in #1379.
3444 * Return the plaintext data more quickly on unpadded CBC decryption, as
3445 stated in the mbedtls_cipher_update() documentation. Contributed by
3446 Andy Leiserson.
3447 * Fix overriding and ignoring return values when parsing and writing to
3448 a file in pk_sign program. Found by kevlut in #1142.
3449 * Restrict usage of error code MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_READ to situations
3450 where data needs to be fetched from the underlying transport in order
3451 to make progress. Previously, this error code was also occasionally
3452 returned when unexpected messages were being discarded, ignoring that
3453 further messages could potentially already be pending to be processed
3454 in the internal buffers; these cases led to deadlocks when event-driven
3455 I/O was used. Found and reported by Hubert Mis in #772.
3456 * Fix buffer length assertions in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
3457 function which leads to a potential one byte overread of the message
3458 buffer.
3459 * Fix invalid buffer sizes passed to zlib during record compression and
3460 decompression.
3461 * Fix the soversion of libmbedcrypto to match the soversion of the
3462 maintained 2.7 branch. The soversion was increased in Mbed TLS
3463 version 2.7.1 to reflect breaking changes in that release, but the
3464 increment was missed in 2.8.0 and later releases outside of the 2.7 branch.

3470 * Improve testing in configurations that omit certain hashes or
3471 public-key algorithms. Includes contributions by Gert van Dijk.
3472 * Improve negative testing of X.509 parsing.
3473 * Do not define global mutexes around readdir() and gmtime() in
3474 configurations where the feature is disabled. Found and fixed by Gergely
3475 Budai.
3476 * Harden the function mbedtls_ssl_config_free() against misuse, so that it
3477 doesn't leak memory if the user doesn't use mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk() and
3478 instead incorrectly manipulates the configuration structure directly.
3479 Found and fix submitted by junyeonLEE in #1220.
3480 * Provide an empty implementation of mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() when
3481 MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C is not enabled. This allows the use of PBKDF2
3482 without PBES2. Fixed by Marcos Del Sol Vives.

3491 letter must not be prefixed by '-', such as LLVM. Found and fixed by
3492 Alex Hixon.
3493 * Allow configuring the shared library extension by setting the DLEXT
3494 environment variable when using the project makefiles.
3495 * Optimize unnecessary zeroing in mbedtls_mpi_copy. Based on a contribution
3496 by Alexey Skalozub in #405.
3497 * In the SSL module, when f_send, f_recv or f_recv_timeout report
3498 transmitting more than the required length, return an error. Raised by
3499 Sam O'Connor in #1245.
3500 * Improve robustness of mbedtls_ssl_derive_keys against the use of
3501 HMAC functions with non-HMAC ciphersuites. Independently contributed
3502 by Jiayuan Chen in #1377. Fixes #1437.
3503 * Improve security of RSA key generation by including criteria from
3504 FIPS 186-4. Contributed by Jethro Beekman. #1380
3505 * Declare functions in header files even when an alternative implementation
3506 of the corresponding module is activated by defining the corresponding
3507 MBEDTLS_XXX_ALT macro. This means that alternative implementations do
3508 not need to copy the declarations, and ensures that they will have the
3509 same API.

3515 * The truncated HMAC extension now conforms to RFC 6066. This means
3516 that when both sides of a TLS connection negotiate the truncated
3517 HMAC extension, Mbed TLS can now interoperate with other
3518 compliant implementations, but this breaks interoperability with
3519 prior versions of Mbed TLS. To restore the old behavior, enable
3520 the (deprecated) option MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC_COMPAT in

3522 Applied Sciences).
3523

3525 * Fix implementation of the truncated HMAC extension. The previous
3526 implementation allowed an offline 2^80 brute force attack on the
3527 HMAC key of a single, uninterrupted connection (with no
3528 resumption of the session).
3529 * Verify results of RSA private key operations to defend
3530 against Bellcore glitch attack.

3553 * Fix test_suite_pk to work on 64-bit ILP32 systems. #849
3554 * Fix mbedtls_x509_crt_profile_suiteb, which used to reject all certificates
3555 with flag MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_BAD_PK even when the key type was correct.
3556 In the context of SSL, this resulted in handshake failure. Reported by
3557 daniel in the Mbed TLS forum. #1351
3558 * Fix Windows x64 builds with the included mbedTLS.sln file. #1347
3559 * Fix setting version TLSv1 as minimal version, even if TLS 1
3560 is not enabled. Set MBEDTLS_SSL_MIN_MAJOR_VERSION
3561 and MBEDTLS_SSL_MIN_MINOR_VERSION instead of
3562 MBEDTLS_SSL_MAJOR_VERSION_3 and MBEDTLS_SSL_MINOR_VERSION_1. #664
3563 * Fix compilation error on Mingw32 when _TRUNCATE is defined. Use _TRUNCATE
3564 only if __MINGW32__ not defined. Fix suggested by Thomas Glanzmann and
3565 Nick Wilson on issue #355
3566 * In test_suite_pk, pass valid parameters when testing for hash length
3567 overflow. #1179
3568 * Fix memory allocation corner cases in memory_buffer_alloc.c module. Found
3569 by Guido Vranken. #639
3570 * Log correct number of ciphersuites used in Client Hello message. #918
3571 * Fix X509 CRT parsing that would potentially accept an invalid tag when
3572 parsing the subject alternative names.
3573 * Fix a possible arithmetic overflow in ssl_parse_server_key_exchange()
3574 that could cause a key exchange to fail on valid data.
3575 * Fix a possible arithmetic overflow in ssl_parse_server_psk_hint() that
3576 could cause a key exchange to fail on valid data.

3584 Contributed by Mathieu Briand.
3585 * Fix typo in a comment ctr_drbg.c. Contributed by Paul Sokolovsky.
3586 * Remove support for the library reference configuration for picocoin.
3587 * MD functions deprecated in 2.7.0 are no longer inline, to provide
3588 a migration path for those depending on the library's ABI.

3595Security
3596 * Fix a heap corruption issue in the implementation of the truncated HMAC
3597 extension. When the truncated HMAC extension is enabled and CBC is used,
3598 sending a malicious application packet could be used to selectively corrupt
3599 6 bytes on the peer's heap, which could potentially lead to crash or remote
3600 code execution. The issue could be triggered remotely from either side in
3601 both TLS and DTLS. CVE-2018-0488
3602 * Fix a buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the hash was too large
3603 for the key size, which could potentially lead to crash or remote code
3604 execution. Found by Seth Terashima, Qualcomm Product Security Initiative,
3605 Qualcomm Technologies Inc. CVE-2018-0487
3606 * Fix buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the unmasked data is all
3607 zeros.
3608 * Fix an unsafe bounds check in ssl_parse_client_psk_identity() when adding
3609 64 KiB to the address of the SSL buffer and causing a wrap around.
3610 * Fix a potential heap buffer overflow in mbedtls_ssl_write(). When the (by
3611 default enabled) maximum fragment length extension is disabled in the
3612 config and the application data buffer passed to mbedtls_ssl_write
3613 is larger than the internal message buffer (16384 bytes by default), the
3614 latter overflows. The exploitability of this issue depends on whether the
3615 application layer can be forced into sending such large packets. The issue
3616 was independently reported by Tim Nordell via e-mail and by Florin Petriuc
3617 and sjorsdewit on GitHub. Fix proposed by Florin Petriuc in #1022.
3618 Fixes #707.
3619 * Add a provision to prevent compiler optimizations breaking the time
3620 constancy of mbedtls_ssl_safer_memcmp().
3621 * Ensure that buffers are cleared after use if they contain sensitive data.
3622 Changes were introduced in multiple places in the library.
3623 * Set PEM buffer to zero before freeing it, to avoid decoded private keys
3624 being leaked to memory after release.
3625 * Fix dhm_check_range() failing to detect trivial subgroups and potentially
3626 leaking 1 bit of the private key. Reported by prashantkspatil.
3627 * Make mbedtls_mpi_read_binary() constant-time with respect to the input
3628 data. Previously, trailing zero bytes were detected and omitted for the
3629 sake of saving memory, but potentially leading to slight timing
3630 differences. Reported by Marco Macchetti, Kudelski Group.
3631 * Wipe stack buffer temporarily holding EC private exponent
3632 after keypair generation.
3633 * Fix a potential heap buffer over-read in ALPN extension parsing
3634 (server-side). Could result in application crash, but only if an ALPN
3635 name larger than 16 bytes had been configured on the server.
3636 * Change default choice of DHE parameters from untrustworthy RFC 5114
3637 to RFC 3526 containing parameters generated in a nothing-up-my-sleeve
3638 manner.
3639
3640Features
3641 * Allow comments in test data files.
3642 * The selftest program can execute a subset of the tests based on command
3643 line arguments.
3644 * New unit tests for timing. Improve the self-test to be more robust
3645 when run on a heavily-loaded machine.
3646 * Add alternative implementation support for CCM and CMAC (MBEDTLS_CCM_ALT,
3647 MBEDTLS_CMAC_ALT). Submitted by Steven Cooreman, Silicon Labs.
3648 * Add support for alternative implementations of GCM, selected by the
3649 configuration flag MBEDTLS_GCM_ALT.
3650 * Add support for alternative implementations for ECDSA, controlled by new
3651 configuration flags MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT, MBEDTLS_ECDSA_VERIFY_ALT and
3652 MBEDTLS_ECDSDA_GENKEY_AT in config.h.
3653 The following functions from the ECDSA module can be replaced
3654 with alternative implementation:
3655 mbedtls_ecdsa_sign(), mbedtls_ecdsa_verify() and mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey().
3656 * Add support for alternative implementation of ECDH, controlled by the
3657 new configuration flags MBEDTLS_ECDH_COMPUTE_SHARED_ALT and
3658 MBEDTLS_ECDH_GEN_PUBLIC_ALT in config.h.
3659 The following functions from the ECDH module can be replaced
3660 with an alternative implementation:
3661 mbedtls_ecdh_gen_public() and mbedtls_ecdh_compute_shared().
3662 * Add support for alternative implementation of ECJPAKE, controlled by
3663 the new configuration flag MBEDTLS_ECJPAKE_ALT.
3664 * Add mechanism to provide alternative implementation of the DHM module.
3665
3666API Changes
3667 * Extend RSA interface by multiple functions allowing structure-
3668 independent setup and export of RSA contexts. Most notably,
3669 mbedtls_rsa_import() and mbedtls_rsa_complete() are introduced for setting
3670 up RSA contexts from partial key material and having them completed to the
3671 needs of the implementation automatically. This allows to setup private RSA
3672 contexts from keys consisting of N,D,E only, even if P,Q are needed for the
3673 purpose or CRT and/or blinding.
3674 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_RSA_ALT can be used to define alternative
3675 implementations of the RSA interface declared in rsa.h.
3676 * The following functions in the message digest modules (MD2, MD4, MD5,
3677 SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) have been deprecated and replaced as shown below.
3678 The new functions change the return type from void to int to allow
3679 returning error codes when using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT.
3680 mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts_ret()
3681 mbedtls_<MODULE>_update() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_update_ret()
3682 mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish_ret()
3683 mbedtls_<MODULE>_process() -> mbedtls_internal_<MODULE>_process()
3684
3685New deprecations
3686 * Deprecate usage of RSA primitives with non-matching key-type
3687 (e.g. signing with a public key).
3688 * Direct manipulation of structure fields of RSA contexts is deprecated.
3689 Users are advised to use the extended RSA API instead.
3690 * Deprecate usage of message digest functions that return void
3691 (mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts, mbedtls_<MODULE>_update,
3692 mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish and mbedtls_<MODULE>_process where <MODULE> is
3693 any of MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) in favor of functions
3694 that can return an error code.
3695 * Deprecate untrustworthy DHE parameters from RFC 5114. Superseded by
3696 parameters from RFC 3526 or the newly added parameters from RFC 7919.
3697 * Deprecate hex string DHE constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P etc.
3698 Supserseded by binary encoded constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P_BIN
3699 etc.
3700 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param() for setting default DHE parameters
3701 from hex strings. Superseded by mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param_bin()
3702 accepting DHM parameters in binary form, matching the new constants.
3703
3704Bugfix
3705 * Fix ssl_parse_record_header() to silently discard invalid DTLS records
3706 as recommended in RFC 6347 Section 4.1.2.7.
3707 * Fix memory leak in mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname() when called multiple times.
3708 Found by projectgus and Jethro Beekman, #836.
3709 * Fix usage help in ssl_server2 example. Found and fixed by Bei Lin.
3710 * Parse signature algorithm extension when renegotiating. Previously,
3711 renegotiated handshakes would only accept signatures using SHA-1
3712 regardless of the peer's preferences, or fail if SHA-1 was disabled.
3713 * Fix leap year calculation in x509_date_is_valid() to ensure that invalid
3714 dates on leap years with 100 and 400 intervals are handled correctly. Found
3715 by Nicholas Wilson. #694
3716 * Fix some invalid RSA-PSS signatures with keys of size 8N+1 that were
3717 accepted. Generating these signatures required the private key.
3718 * Fix out-of-memory problem when parsing 4096-bit PKCS8-encrypted RSA keys.
3719 Found independently by Florian in the mbed TLS forum and by Mishamax.
3720 #878, #1019.
3721 * Fix variable used before assignment compilation warnings with IAR
3722 toolchain. Found by gkerrien38.
3723 * Fix unchecked return codes from AES, DES and 3DES functions in
3724 pem_aes_decrypt(), pem_des_decrypt() and pem_des3_decrypt() respectively.
3725 If a call to one of the functions of the cryptographic primitive modules
3726 failed, the error may not be noticed by the function
3727 mbedtls_pem_read_buffer() causing it to return invalid values. Found by
3728 Guido Vranken. #756
3729 * Include configuration file in md.h, to fix compilation warnings.
3730 Reported by aaronmdjones in #1001
3731 * Correct extraction of signature-type from PK instance in X.509 CRT and CSR
3732 writing routines that prevented these functions to work with alternative
3733 RSA implementations. Raised by J.B. in the Mbed TLS forum. Fixes #1011.
3734 * Don't print X.509 version tag for v1 CRT's, and omit extensions for
3735 non-v3 CRT's.
3736 * Fix bugs in RSA test suite under MBEDTLS_NO_PLATFORM_ENTROPY. #1023 #1024
3737 * Fix net_would_block() to avoid modification by errno through fcntl() call.
3738 Found by nkolban. Fixes #845.
3739 * Fix handling of handshake messages in mbedtls_ssl_read() in case
3740 MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION is disabled. Found by erja-gp.
3741 * Add a check for invalid private parameters in mbedtls_ecdsa_sign().
3742 Reported by Yolan Romailler.
3743 * Fix word size check in in pk.c to not depend on MBEDTLS_HAVE_INT64.
3744 * Fix incorrect unit in benchmark output. #850
3745 * Add size-checks for record and handshake message content, securing
3746 fragile yet non-exploitable code-paths.
3747 * Fix crash when calling mbedtls_ssl_cache_free() twice. Found by
3748 MilenkoMitrovic, #1104
3749 * Fix mbedtls_timing_alarm(0) on Unix and MinGW.
3750 * Fix use of uninitialized memory in mbedtls_timing_get_timer() when reset=1.
3751 * Fix possible memory leaks in mbedtls_gcm_self_test().
3752 * Added missing return code checks in mbedtls_aes_self_test().
3753 * Fix issues in RSA key generation program programs/x509/rsa_genkey and the
3754 RSA test suite where the failure of CTR DRBG initialization lead to
3755 freeing an RSA context and several MPI's without proper initialization
3756 beforehand.
3757 * Fix error message in programs/pkey/gen_key.c. Found and fixed by Chris Xue.
3758 * Fix programs/pkey/dh_server.c so that it actually works with dh_client.c.
3759 Found and fixed by Martijn de Milliano.
3760 * Fix an issue in the cipher decryption with the mode
3761 MBEDTLS_PADDING_ONE_AND_ZEROS that sometimes accepted invalid padding.
3762 Note, this padding mode is not used by the TLS protocol. Found and fixed by
3763 Micha Kraus.
3764 * Fix the entropy.c module to not call mbedtls_sha256_starts() or
3765 mbedtls_sha512_starts() in the mbedtls_entropy_init() function.
3766 * Fix the entropy.c module to ensure that mbedtls_sha256_init() or
3767 mbedtls_sha512_init() is called before operating on the relevant context
3768 structure. Do not assume that zeroizing a context is a correct way to
3769 reset it. Found independently by ccli8 on Github.
3770 * In mbedtls_entropy_free(), properly free the message digest context.
3771 * Fix status handshake status message in programs/ssl/dtls_client.c. Found
3772 and fixed by muddog.
3773
3774Changes
3775 * Extend cert_write example program by options to set the certificate version
3776 and the message digest. Further, allow enabling/disabling of authority
3777 identifier, subject identifier and basic constraints extensions.
3778 * Only check for necessary RSA structure fields in `mbedtls_rsa_private`. In
3779 particular, don't require P,Q if neither CRT nor blinding are
3780 used. Reported and fix proposed independently by satur9nine and sliai
3781 on GitHub.
3782 * Only run AES-192 self-test if AES-192 is available. Fixes #963.
3783 * Tighten the RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification code and remove the
3784 undeclared dependency of the RSA module on the ASN.1 module.
3785 * Update all internal usage of deprecated message digest functions to the
3786 new ones with return codes. In particular, this modifies the
3787 mbedtls_md_info_t structure. Propagate errors from these functions
3788 everywhere except some locations in the ssl_tls.c module.
3789 * Improve CTR_DRBG error handling by propagating underlying AES errors.
3790 * Add MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED error codes for all cryptography
3791 modules where the software implementation can be replaced by a hardware
3792 implementation.
3793 * Add explicit warnings for the use of MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA-1, DES and ARC4
3794 throughout the library.

3799 * Fix authentication bypass in SSL/TLS: when authmode is set to optional,
3800 mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result() would incorrectly return 0 when the peer's
3801 X.509 certificate chain had more than MBEDTLS_X509_MAX_INTERMEDIATE_CA
3802 (default: 8) intermediates, even when it was not trusted. This could be
3803 triggered remotely from either side. (With authmode set to 'required'
3804 (the default), the handshake was correctly aborted).
3805 * Reliably wipe sensitive data after use in the AES example applications
3806 programs/aes/aescrypt2 and programs/aes/crypt_and_hash.
3807 Found by Laurent Simon.
3808
3809Features
3810 * Add the functions mbedtls_platform_setup() and mbedtls_platform_teardown()
3811 and the context struct mbedtls_platform_context to perform
3812 platform-specific setup and teardown operations. The macro
3813 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETUP_TEARDOWN_ALT allows the functions to be overridden
3814 by the user in a platform_alt.h file. These new functions are required in
3815 some embedded environments to provide a means of initialising underlying
3816 cryptographic acceleration hardware.
3817
3818API Changes
3819 * Reverted API/ABI breaking changes introduced in mbed TLS 2.5.1, to make the
3820 API consistent with mbed TLS 2.5.0. Specifically removed the inline
3821 qualifier from the functions mbedtls_aes_decrypt, mbedtls_aes_encrypt,
3822 mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_uses_ec and mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_uses_psk. Found
3823 by James Cowgill. #978
3824 * Certificate verification functions now set flags to -1 in case the full
3825 chain was not verified due to an internal error (including in the verify
3826 callback) or chain length limitations.
3827 * With authmode set to optional, the TLS handshake is now aborted if the
3828 verification of the peer's certificate failed due to an overlong chain or
3829 a fatal error in the verify callback.
3830
3831Bugfix
3832 * Add a check if iv_len is zero in GCM, and return an error if it is zero.
3833 Reported by roberto. #716
3834 * Replace preprocessor condition from #if defined(MBEDTLS_THREADING_PTHREAD)
3835 to #if defined(MBEDTLS_THREADING_C) as the library cannot assume they will
3836 always be implemented by pthread support. #696
3837 * Fix a resource leak on Windows platforms in mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path(),
3838 in the case of an error. Found by redplait. #590
3839 * Add MBEDTLS_MPI_CHK to check for error value of mbedtls_mpi_fill_random.
3840 Reported and fix suggested by guidovranken. #740
3841 * Fix conditional preprocessor directives in bignum.h to enable 64-bit
3842 compilation when using ARM Compiler 6.
3843 * Fix a potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
3844 encoded X.509 CRLs. The overflow could enable maliciously constructed CRLs
3845 to bypass the version verification check. Found by Peng Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin,
3846 KNOX Security, Samsung Research America
3847 * Fix potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
3848 encoded X.509 CSRs. The overflow could enable maliciously constructed CSRs
3849 to bypass the version verification check. Found by Peng Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin,
3850 KNOX Security, Samsung Research America
3851 * Fix a potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
3852 encoded X.509 certificates. The overflow could enable maliciously
3853 constructed certificates to bypass the certificate verification check.
3854 * Fix a call to the libc function time() to call the platform abstraction
3855 function mbedtls_time() instead. Found by wairua. #666
3856 * Avoid shadowing of time and index functions through mbed TLS function
3857 arguments. Found by inestlerode. #557.
3858
3859Changes
3860 * Added config.h option MBEDTLS_NO_UDBL_DIVISION, to prevent the use of
3861 64-bit division. This is useful on embedded platforms where 64-bit division
3862 created a dependency on external libraries. #708
3863 * Removed mutexes from ECP hardware accelerator code. Now all hardware
3864 accelerator code in the library leaves concurrency handling to the
3865 platform. Reported by Steven Cooreman. #863
3866 * Define the macro MBEDTLS_AES_ROM_TABLES in the configuration file
3867 config-no-entropy.h to reduce the RAM footprint.
3868 * Added a test script that can be hooked into git that verifies commits
3869 before they are pushed.

3875 * Fixed unlimited overread of heap-based buffer in mbedtls_ssl_read().
3876 The issue could only happen client-side with renegotiation enabled.
3877 Could result in DoS (application crash) or information leak
3878 (if the application layer sent data read from mbedtls_ssl_read()
3879 back to the server or to a third party). Can be triggered remotely.
3880 * Removed SHA-1 and RIPEMD-160 from the default hash algorithms for
3881 certificate verification. SHA-1 can be turned back on with a compile-time
3882 option if needed.
3883 * Fixed offset in FALLBACK_SCSV parsing that caused TLS server to fail to
3884 detect it sometimes. Reported by Hugo Leisink. #810
3885 * Tighten parsing of RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures, to avoid a
3886 potential Bleichenbacher/BERserk-style attack.
3887
3888Bugfix
3889 * Remove size zero arrays from ECJPAKE test suite. Size zero arrays are not
3890 valid C and they prevented the test from compiling in Visual Studio 2015
3891 and with GCC using the -Wpedantic compilation option.
3892 * Fix insufficient support for signature-hash-algorithm extension,
3893 resulting in compatibility problems with Chrome. Found by hfloyrd. #823
3894 * Fix behaviour that hid the original cause of fatal alerts in some cases
3895 when sending the alert failed. The fix makes sure not to hide the error
3896 that triggered the alert.
3897 * Fix SSLv3 renegotiation behaviour and stop processing data received from
3898 peer after sending a fatal alert to refuse a renegotiation attempt.
3899 Previous behaviour was to keep processing data even after the alert has
3900 been sent.
3901 * Accept empty trusted CA chain in authentication mode
3902 MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL. Found by Jethro Beekman. #864
3903 * Fix implementation of mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate() to not annihilate
3904 fatal errors in authentication mode MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL and to
3905 reflect bad EC curves within verification result.
3906 * Fix bug that caused the modular inversion function to accept the invalid
3907 modulus 1 and therefore to hang. Found by blaufish. #641.
3908 * Fix incorrect sign computation in modular exponentiation when the base is
3909 a negative MPI. Previously the result was always negative. Found by Guido
3910 Vranken.

3912 that was triggered uppon reading an empty line. Found by Guido Vranken.
3913
3914Changes
3915 * Send fatal alerts in more cases. The previous behaviour was to skip
3916 sending the fatal alert and just drop the connection.

3937 replacement support for enabling the extension of the interface.
3938 * Add a new configuration option to 'mbedtls_ssl_config' to enable

3951 * Remove macros from compat-1.3.h that correspond to deleted items from most
3952 recent versions of the library. Found by Kyle Keen.
3953 * Fixed issue in the Threading module that prevented mutexes from
3954 initialising. Found by sznaider. #667 #843
3955 * Add checks in the PK module for the RSA functions on 64-bit systems.
3956 The PK and RSA modules use different types for passing hash length and
3957 without these checks the type cast could lead to data loss. Found by Guido
3958 Vranken.

3962Security
3963 * Add checks to prevent signature forgeries for very large messages while
3964 using RSA through the PK module in 64-bit systems. The issue was caused by
3965 some data loss when casting a size_t to an unsigned int value in the
3966 functions rsa_verify_wrap(), rsa_sign_wrap(), rsa_alt_sign_wrap() and
3967 mbedtls_pk_sign(). Found by Jean-Philippe Aumasson.
3968 * Fixed potential livelock during the parsing of a CRL in PEM format in
3969 mbedtls_x509_crl_parse(). A string containing a CRL followed by trailing
3970 characters after the footer could result in the execution of an infinite
3971 loop. The issue can be triggered remotely. Found by Greg Zaverucha,
3972 Microsoft.
3973 * Removed MD5 from the allowed hash algorithms for CertificateRequest and
3974 CertificateVerify messages, to prevent SLOTH attacks against TLS 1.2.
3975 Introduced by interoperability fix for #513.
3976 * Fixed a bug that caused freeing a buffer that was allocated on the stack,
3977 when verifying the validity of a key on secp224k1. This could be
3978 triggered remotely for example with a maliciously constructed certificate
3979 and potentially could lead to remote code execution on some platforms.

3983Bugfix
3984 * Fix output certificate verification flags set by x509_crt_verify_top() when
3985 traversing a chain of trusted CA. The issue would cause both flags,
3986 MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_NOT_TRUSTED and MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_EXPIRED, to be
3987 set when the verification conditions are not met regardless of the cause.

3993 x509_csr.c that are reported when building mbed TLS with a config.h that
3994 does not define MBEDTLS_PEM_PARSE_C. Found by omnium21. #562
3995 * Fix incorrect renegotiation condition in ssl_check_ctr_renegotiate() that
3996 would compare 64 bits of the record counter instead of 48 bits as indicated
3997 in RFC 6347 Section 4.3.1. This could cause the execution of the
3998 renegotiation routines at unexpected times when the protocol is DTLS. Found

4012 Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin, KNOX Security, Samsung Research America.
4013 * Fix potential memory leak in mbedtls_x509_crl_parse(). The leak was caused
4014 by missing calls to mbedtls_pem_free() in cases when a
4015 MBEDTLS_ERR_PEM_NO_HEADER_FOOTER_PRESENT error was encountered. Found and
4016 fix proposed by Guido Vranken. #722
4017 * Fixed the templates used to generate project and solution files for Visual
4018 Studio 2015 as well as the files themselves, to remove a build warning
4019 generated in Visual Studio 2015. Reported by Steve Valliere. #742

4051 * Added hardware entropy selftest to verify that the hardware entropy source
4052 is functioning correctly.
4053 * Added a script to print build environment info for diagnostic use in test
4054 scripts, which is also now called by all.sh.
4055 * Added the macro MBEDTLS_X509_MAX_FILE_PATH_LEN that enables the user to
4056 configure the maximum length of a file path that can be buffered when
4057 calling mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path().
4058 * Added a configuration file config-no-entropy.h that configures the subset of
4059 library features that do not require an entropy source.
4060 * Added the macro MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_MIN_HARDWARE in config.h. This allows users
4061 to configure the minimum number of bytes for entropy sources using the
4062 mbedtls_hardware_poll() function.
4063

4098
4099Changes
4100 * Extended test coverage of special cases, and added new timing test suite.
4101 * Removed self-tests from the basic-built-test.sh script, and added all
4102 missing self-tests to the test suites, to ensure self-tests are only
4103 executed once.
4104 * Added support for 3 and 4 byte lengths to mbedtls_asn1_write_len().
4105 * Added support for a Yotta specific configuration file -

4107 * Added optimization for code space for X.509/OID based on configured
4108 features. Contributed by Aviv Palivoda.
4109 * Renamed source file library/net.c to library/net_sockets.c to avoid
4110 naming collision in projects which also have files with the common name
4111 net.c. For consistency, the corresponding header file, net.h, is marked as
4112 deprecated, and its contents moved to net_sockets.h.

4352 * When verifying a certificate chain, if an intermediate certificate is
4353 trusted, no later cert is checked. (suggested by hannes-landeholm)
4354 (#220).
4355 * Prepend a "thread identifier" to debug messages (issue pointed out by
4356 Hugo Leisink) (#210).
4357 * Add mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len() to query the current maximum fragment
4358 length.

4361
4362Features
4363 * Support for DTLS 1.0 and 1.2 (RFC 6347).
4364 * Ability to override core functions from MDx, SHAx, AES and DES modules
4365 with custom implementation (eg hardware accelerated), complementing the
4366 ability to override the whole module.
4367 * New server-side implementation of session tickets that rotate keys to
4368 preserve forward secrecy, and allows sharing across multiple contexts.
4369 * Added a concept of X.509 cerificate verification profile that controls
4370 which algorithms and key sizes (curves for ECDSA) are acceptable.
4371 * Expanded configurability of security parameters in the SSL module with
4372 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dhm_min_bitlen() and mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_hashes().
4373 * Introduced a concept of presets for SSL security-relevant configuration
4374 parameters.
4375
4376API Changes
4377 * The library has been split into libmbedcrypto, libmbedx509, libmbedtls.
4378 You now need to link to all of them if you use TLS for example.
4379 * All public identifiers moved to the mbedtls_* or MBEDTLS_* namespace.
4380 Some names have been further changed to make them more consistent.
4381 Migration helpers scripts/rename.pl and include/mbedtls/compat-1.3.h are
4382 provided. Full list of renamings in scripts/data_files/rename-1.3-2.0.txt
4383 * Renamings of fields inside structures, not covered by the previous list:
4384 mbedtls_cipher_info_t.key_length -> key_bitlen
4385 mbedtls_cipher_context_t.key_length -> key_bitlen
4386 mbedtls_ecp_curve_info.size -> bit_size
4387 * Headers are now found in the 'mbedtls' directory (previously 'polarssl').
4388 * The following _init() functions that could return errors have
4389 been split into an _init() that returns void and another function that
4390 should generally be the first function called on this context after init:
4391 mbedtls_ssl_init() -> mbedtls_ssl_setup()
4392 mbedtls_ccm_init() -> mbedtls_ccm_setkey()
4393 mbedtls_gcm_init() -> mbedtls_gcm_setkey()
4394 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_init() -> mbedtls_hmac_drbg_seed(_buf)()
4395 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_init() -> mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed()
4396 Note that for mbedtls_ssl_setup(), you need to be done setting up the
4397 ssl_config structure before calling it.
4398 * Most ssl_set_xxx() functions (all except ssl_set_bio(), ssl_set_hostname(),
4399 ssl_set_session() and ssl_set_client_transport_id(), plus
4400 ssl_legacy_renegotiation()) have been renamed to mbedtls_ssl_conf_xxx()
4401 (see rename.pl and compat-1.3.h above) and their first argument's type
4402 changed from ssl_context to ssl_config.
4403 * ssl_set_bio() changed signature (contexts merged, order switched, one
4404 additional callback for read-with-timeout).
4405 * The following functions have been introduced and must be used in callback
4406 implementations (SNI, PSK) instead of their *conf counterparts:
4407 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_own_cert()
4408 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_ca_chain()
4409 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk()
4410 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_ca_chain() lost its last argument (peer_cn), now set
4411 using mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname().
4412 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_cache() changed prototype (only one context
4413 pointer, parameters reordered).
4414 * On server, mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets_cb() must now be used in
4415 place of mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets() to enable session tickets.
4416 * The SSL debug callback gained two new arguments (file name, line number).
4417 * Debug modes were removed.
4418 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_truncated_hmac() now returns void.
4419 * mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_init() now returns void.
4420 * X.509 verification flags are now an uint32_t. Affect the signature of:
4421 mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result()
4422 mbedtls_x509_ctr_verify_info()
4423 mbedtls_x509_crt_verify() (flags, f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
4424 mbedtls_ssl_conf_verify() (f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
4425 * The following functions changed prototype to avoid an in-out length
4426 parameter:
4427 mbedtls_base64_encode()
4428 mbedtls_base64_decode()
4429 mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
4430 mbedtls_dhm_calc_secret()
4431 * In the NET module, all "int" and "int *" arguments for file descriptors
4432 changed type to "mbedtls_net_context *".
4433 * net_accept() gained new arguments for the size of the client_ip buffer.
4434 * In the threading layer, mbedtls_mutex_init() and mbedtls_mutex_free() now
4435 return void.
4436 * ecdsa_write_signature() gained an additional md_alg argument and
4437 ecdsa_write_signature_det() was deprecated.
4438 * pk_sign() no longer accepts md_alg == POLARSSL_MD_NONE with ECDSA.
4439 * Last argument of x509_crt_check_key_usage() and
4440 mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_key_usage() changed from int to unsigned.
4441 * test_ca_list (from certs.h) is renamed to test_cas_pem and is only
4442 available if POLARSSL_PEM_PARSE_C is defined (it never worked without).
4443 * Test certificates in certs.c are no longer guaranteed to be nul-terminated
4444 strings; use the new *_len variables instead of strlen().
4445 * Functions mbedtls_x509_xxx_parse(), mbedtls_pk_parse_key(),
4446 mbedtls_pk_parse_public_key() and mbedtls_dhm_parse_dhm() now expect the
4447 length parameter to include the terminating null byte for PEM input.
4448 * Signature of mpi_mul_mpi() changed to make the last argument unsigned
4449 * calloc() is now used instead of malloc() everywhere. API of platform
4450 layer and the memory_buffer_alloc module changed accordingly.
4451 (Thanks to Mansour Moufid for helping with the replacement.)
4452 * Change SSL_DISABLE_RENEGOTIATION config.h flag to SSL_RENEGOTIATION
4453 (support for renegotiation now needs explicit enabling in config.h).
4454 * Split MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME into MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME and MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE
4455 in config.h
4456 * net_connect() and net_bind() have a new 'proto' argument to choose
4457 between TCP and UDP, using the macros NET_PROTO_TCP or NET_PROTO_UDP.
4458 Their 'port' argument type is changed to a string.
4459 * Some constness fixes
4460
4461Removals
4462 * Removed mbedtls_ecp_group_read_string(). Only named groups are supported.
4463 * Removed mbedtls_ecp_sub() and mbedtls_ecp_add(), use
4464 mbedtls_ecp_muladd().
4465 * Removed individual mdX_hmac, shaX_hmac, mdX_file and shaX_file functions
4466 (use generic functions from md.h)
4467 * Removed mbedtls_timing_msleep(). Use mbedtls_net_usleep() or a custom
4468 waiting function.
4469 * Removed test DHM parameters from the test certs module.
4470 * Removed the PBKDF2 module (use PKCS5).
4471 * Removed POLARSSL_ERROR_STRERROR_BC (use mbedtls_strerror()).
4472 * Removed compat-1.2.h (helper for migrating from 1.2 to 1.3).
4473 * Removed openssl.h (very partial OpenSSL compatibility layer).
4474 * Configuration options POLARSSL_HAVE_LONGLONG was removed (now always on).
4475 * Configuration options POLARSSL_HAVE_INT8 and POLARSSL_HAVE_INT16 have
4476 been removed (compiler is required to support 32-bit operations).
4477 * Configuration option POLARSSL_HAVE_IPV6 was removed (always enabled).
4478 * Removed test program o_p_test, the script compat.sh does more.
4479 * Removed test program ssl_test, superseded by ssl-opt.sh.
4480 * Removed helper script active-config.pl
4481
4482New deprecations
4483 * md_init_ctx() is deprecated in favour of md_setup(), that adds a third
4484 argument (allowing memory savings if HMAC is not used)
4485
4486Semi-API changes (technically public, morally private)
4487 * Renamed a few headers to include _internal in the name. Those headers are
4488 not supposed to be included by users.
4489 * Changed md_info_t into an opaque structure (use md_get_xxx() accessors).
4490 * Changed pk_info_t into an opaque structure.
4491 * Changed cipher_base_t into an opaque structure.
4492 * Removed sig_oid2 and rename sig_oid1 to sig_oid in x509_crt and x509_crl.
4493 * x509_crt.key_usage changed from unsigned char to unsigned int.
4494 * Removed r and s from ecdsa_context
4495 * Removed mode from des_context and des3_context
4496
4497Default behavior changes
4498 * The default minimum TLS version is now TLS 1.0.
4499 * RC4 is now blacklisted by default in the SSL/TLS layer, and excluded from the
4500 default ciphersuite list returned by ssl_list_ciphersuites()
4501 * Support for receiving SSLv2 ClientHello is now disabled by default at
4502 compile time.
4503 * The default authmode for SSL/TLS clients is now REQUIRED.
4504 * Support for RSA_ALT contexts in the PK layer is now optional. Since is is
4505 enabled in the default configuration, this is only noticeable if using a
4506 custom config.h
4507 * Default DHM parameters server-side upgraded from 1024 to 2048 bits.
4508 * A minimum RSA key size of 2048 bits is now enforced during ceritificate
4509 chain verification.
4510 * Negotiation of truncated HMAC is now disabled by default on server too.
4511 * The following functions are now case-sensitive:
4512 mbedtls_cipher_info_from_string()
4513 mbedtls_ecp_curve_info_from_name()
4514 mbedtls_md_info_from_string()
4515 mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_from_string()
4516 mbedtls_version_check_feature()
4517
4518Requirement changes
4519 * The minimum MSVC version required is now 2010 (better C99 support).
4520 * The NET layer now unconditionnaly relies on getaddrinfo() and select().
4521 * Compiler is required to support C99 types such as long long and uint32_t.
4522
4523API changes from the 1.4 preview branch
4524 * ssl_set_bio_timeout() was removed, split into mbedtls_ssl_set_bio() with
4525 new prototype, and mbedtls_ssl_set_read_timeout().
4526 * The following functions now return void:
4527 mbedtls_ssl_conf_transport()
4528 mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version()
4529 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version()
4530 * DTLS no longer hard-depends on TIMING_C, but uses a callback interface
4531 instead, see mbedtls_ssl_set_timer_cb(), with the Timing module providing
4532 an example implementation, see mbedtls_timing_delay_context and
4533 mbedtls_timing_set/get_delay().
4534 * With UDP sockets, it is no longer necessary to call net_bind() again
4535 after a successful net_accept().
4536
4537Changes
4538 * mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random() and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_random() are now
4539 thread-safe if MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled.
4540 * Reduced ROM fooprint of SHA-256 and added an option to reduce it even
4541 more (at the expense of performance) MBEDTLS_SHA256_SMALLER.
4542
4543= mbed TLS 1.3 branch
4544
4545Security
4546 * With authmode set to SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL, verification of keyUsage and
4547 extendedKeyUsage on the leaf certificate was lost (results not accessible
4548 via ssl_get_verify_results()).
4549 * Add countermeasure against "Lucky 13 strikes back" cache-based attack,
4550 https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2714625

4564 * Improved Makefiles for Windows targets by fixing library targets and making
4565 cross-compilation easier (thanks to Alon Bar-Lev).
4566 * The benchmark program also prints heap usage for public-key primitives
4567 if POLARSSL_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C and POLARSSL_MEMORY_DEBUG are defined.
4568 * New script ecc-heap.sh helps measuring the impact of ECC parameters on
4569 speed and RAM (heap only for now) usage.
4570 * New script memory.sh helps measuring the ROM and RAM requirements of two
4571 reduced configurations (PSK-CCM and NSA suite B).
4572 * Add config flag POLARSSL_DEPRECATED_WARNING (off by default) to produce
4573 warnings on use of deprecated functions (with GCC and Clang only).
4574 * Add config flag POLARSSL_DEPRECATED_REMOVED (off by default) to produce
4575 errors on use of deprecated functions.

4592 * Fix handling of symlinks by "make install" (found by Gaël PORTAY).
4593 * Fix potential NULL pointer dereference (not trigerrable remotely) when
4594 ssl_write() is called before the handshake is finished (introduced in
4595 1.3.10) (first reported by Martin Blumenstingl).
4596 * Fix bug in pk_parse_key() that caused some valid private EC keys to be

4628 (suggested by Thorsten Mühlfelder).
4629 * Remove some unneeded inclusions of header files from the standard library
4630 "minimize" others (eg use stddef.h if only size_t is needed).

5663 smaller than the hash length. (Closes ticket #41)
5664 * If certificate serial is longer than 32 octets, serial number is now
5665 appended with '....' after first 28 octets
5666 * Improved build support for s390x and sparc64 in bignum.h
5667 * Fixed MS Visual C++ name clash with int64 in sha4.h

5700 better unsigned / signed use. Renamed internal bigint types
5701 t_int and t_dbl to t_uint and t_udbl in the process
5702 * mpi_init() and mpi_free() now only accept a single MPI
5703 argument and do not accept variable argument lists anymore.
5704 * The error codes have been remapped and combining error codes
5705 is now done with a PLUS instead of an OR as error codes
5706 used are negative.
5707 * Changed behaviour of net_read(), ssl_fetch_input() and ssl_recv().
5708 net_recv() now returns 0 on EOF instead of
5709 POLARSSL_ERR_NET_CONN_RESET. ssl_fetch_input() returns
5710 POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_CONN_EOF on an EOF from its f_recv() function.
5711 ssl_read() returns 0 if a POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_CONN_EOF is received
5712 after the handshake.
5713 * Network functions now return POLARSSL_ERR_NET_WANT_READ or
5714 POLARSSL_ERR_NET_WANT_WRITE instead of the ambiguous

5728 displays actual bit size of the value.
5729 * x509parse_key() (and as a consequence x509parse_keyfile())
5730 does not zeroize memory in advance anymore. Use rsa_init()
5731 before parsing a key or keyfile!
5732
5733Bugfix
5734 * Debug output of MPI's now the same independent of underlying
5735 platform (32-bit / 64-bit) (Fixes ticket #19, found by Mads
