5Security
6 * Fix a timing side channel in private key RSA operations. This side channel
7 could be sufficient for an attacker to recover the plaintext. A local
8 attacker or a remote attacker who is close to the victim on the network
9 might have precise enough timing measurements to exploit this. It requires
10 the attacker to send a large number of messages for decryption. For
11 details, see "Everlasting ROBOT: the Marvin Attack", Hubert Kario. Reported
12 by Hubert Kario, Red Hat.
13 * Fix a failure to validate input when writing x509 extensions lengths which
14 could result in an integer overflow, causing a zero-length buffer to be
15 allocated to hold the extension. The extension would then be copied into
16 the buffer, causing a heap buffer overflow.

21 * Mbed TLS is now released under a dual Apache-2.0 OR GPL-2.0-or-later
22 license. Users may choose which license they take the code under.

Minos Galanakis7de3eed2023-10-03 22:26:03 +010025
26Features
27 * The documentation of mbedtls_ecp_group now describes the optimized
28 representation of A for some curves. Fixes #8045.
29
30Security
31 * Developers using mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() or mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe() should
32 review the size of the output buffer passed to this function, and note
33 that the output after decryption may include CBC padding. Consider moving
34 to the new functions mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2_ext() or mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe_ext()
35 which checks for overflow of the output buffer and reports the actual
36 length of the output.
37 * Improve padding calculations in CBC decryption, NIST key unwrapping and
38 RSA OAEP decryption. With the previous implementation, some compilers
39 (notably recent versions of Clang and IAR) could produce non-constant
40 time code, which could allow a padding oracle attack if the attacker
41 has access to precise timing measurements.
42 * Fix a buffer overread when parsing short TLS application data records in
43 ARC4 or null-cipher cipher suites. Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
44
45Bugfix
46 * Fix x509 certificate generation to conform to RFC 5480 / RFC 5758 when
47 using ECC key. The certificate was rejected by some crypto frameworks.
48 Fixes #2924.
49 * Fix some cases where mbedtls_mpi_mod_exp, RSA key construction or ECDSA
50 signature can silently return an incorrect result in low memory conditions.
51 * Fix IAR compiler warnings. Fixes #7873, #4300.
52 * Fix an issue when parsing an otherName subject alternative name into a
53 mbedtls_x509_san_other_name struct. The type-id of the otherName was not
54 copied to the struct. This meant that the struct had incomplete
55 information about the otherName SAN and contained uninitialized memory.
56 * Fix the detection of HardwareModuleName otherName SANs. These were being
57 detected by comparing the wrong field and the check was erroneously
58 inverted.
59 * Fix an error when MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT is defined but not
60 MBEDTLS_ECDSA_VERIFY_ALT, causing ecdsa verify to fail. Fixes #7498.
61 * Functions in the ssl_cache module now return a negative MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx
62 error code on failure. Before, they returned 1 to indicate failure in
63 some cases involving a missing entry or a full cache.
64
65Changes
66 * In configurations with ARIA or Camellia but not AES, the value of
67 MBEDTLS_CIPHER_BLKSIZE_MAX was 8, rather than 16 as the name might
68 suggest. This did not affect any library code, because this macro was
69 only used in relation with CMAC which does not support these ciphers.
70 Its value is now 16 if ARIA or Camellia are present. This may affect
71 application code that uses this macro.

74
75Features
76 * Allow MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE and MBEDTLS_USER_CONFIG_FILE to be set by
77 setting the CMake variable of the same name at configuration time.
78
79Bugfix
80 * Fix crypt_and_hash decryption fail when used with a stream cipher
81 mode of operation, due to the input not being a multiple of the block
82 size. Resolves #7417.
83 * Fix a bug where mbedtls_x509_string_to_names() would return success
84 when given a invalid name string, if it did not contain '=' or ','.
85 * Fix missing PSA initialization in sample programs when
86 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
87 * Fix clang and armclang compilation error when targeting certain Arm
88 M-class CPUs (Cortex-M0, Cortex-M0+, Cortex-M1, Cortex-M23,
89 SecurCore SC000). Fixes #1077.
90 * Fixed an issue that caused compile errors when using CMake and the IAR
91 toolchain.
92 * Fix the build with MBEDTLS_PSA_INJECT_ENTROPY. Fixes #7516.
93 * Fix builds on Windows with clang.
94 * Fix compilation warnings in aes.c for certain combinations
95 of configuration options.
96 * Fix a compilation error on some platforms when including mbedtls/ssl.h
97 with all TLS support disabled. Fixes #6628.
98
Dave Rodgmanb0eedb42023-08-03 13:29:22 +010099Changes
100 * Update test data to avoid failures of unit tests after 2023-08-07, and
101 update expiring certififcates in the certs module.
102
Paul Elliottf18db1f2023-03-23 11:23:35 +0000103= Mbed TLS 2.28.3 branch released 2023-03-28
104
105Features
106 * Use HOSTCC (if it is set) when compiling C code during generation of the
107 configuration-independent files. This allows them to be generated when
108 CC is set for cross compilation.
109 * AES-NI is now supported with Visual Studio.
110 * AES-NI is now supported in 32-bit builds, or when MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM
111 is disabled, when compiling with GCC or Clang or a compatible compiler
112 for a target CPU that supports the requisite instructions (for example
113 gcc -m32 -msse2 -maes -mpclmul). (Generic x86 builds with GCC-like
114 compilers still require MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM and a 64-bit target.)
115
116Security
117 * MBEDTLS_AESNI_C, which is enabled by default, was silently ignored on
118 builds that couldn't compile the GCC-style assembly implementation
119 (most notably builds with Visual Studio), leaving them vulnerable to
120 timing side-channel attacks. There is now an intrinsics-based AES-NI
121 implementation as a fallback for when the assembly one cannot be used.
122
123Bugfix
124 * Fix a build issue on Windows where the source and build directory could
125 not be on different drives (#5751).
126 * Fix possible integer overflow in mbedtls_timing_hardclock(), which
127 could cause a crash for certain platforms & compiler options.
128 * Fix IAR compiler warnings. Fixes #6924.
129 * Fix a bug in the build where directory names containing spaces were
130 causing generate_errors.pl to error out resulting in a build failure.
131 Fixes issue #6879.
132 * Fix compile error where MBEDTLS_RSA_C and MBEDTLS_X509_CRT_WRITE_C are
133 defined, but MBEDTLS_PK_RSA_ALT_SUPPORT is not defined. Fixes #3174.
134 * Fix a build issue when defining MBEDTLS_TIMING_ALT and MBEDTLS_SELF_TEST.
135 The library would not link if the user didn't provide an external self-test
136 function. The self-test is now provided regardless of the choice of
137 internal/alternative timing implementation. Fixes #6923.
138 * mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial() now explicitly rejects serial numbers
139 whose binary representation is longer than 20 bytes. This was already
140 forbidden by the standard (RFC5280 - section 4.1.2.2) and now it's being
141 enforced also at code level.
142 * Fix potential undefined behavior in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs(). Reported by
143 Pascal Cuoq using TrustInSoft Analyzer in #6701; observed independently by
144 Aaron Ucko under Valgrind.
145 * Fix behavior of certain sample programs which could, when run with no
146 arguments, access uninitialized memory in some cases. Fixes #6700 (which
147 was found by TrustInSoft Analyzer during REDOCS'22) and #1120.
148 * Fix build errors in test programs when MBEDTLS_CERTS_C is disabled.
149 Fixes #6243.
150 * Fix parsing of X.509 SubjectAlternativeName extension. Previously,
151 malformed alternative name components were not caught during initial
152 certificate parsing, but only on subsequent calls to
153 mbedtls_x509_parse_subject_alt_name(). Fixes #2838.
154 * Fix bug in conversion from OID to string in
155 mbedtls_oid_get_numeric_string(). OIDs such as 2.40.0.25 are now printed
156 correctly.
157 * Reject OIDs with overlong-encoded subidentifiers when converting
158 them to a string.
159 * Reject OIDs with subidentifier values exceeding UINT_MAX. Such
160 subidentifiers can be valid, but Mbed TLS cannot currently handle them.
161 * Reject OIDs that have unterminated subidentifiers, or (equivalently)
162 have the most-significant bit set in their last byte.
163 * Silence a warning about an unused local variable in bignum.c on
164 some architectures. Fixes #7166.
165 * Silence warnings from clang -Wdocumentation about empty \retval
166 descriptions, which started appearing with Clang 15. Fixes #6960.
167 * Fix undefined behavior in mbedtls_ssl_read() and mbedtls_ssl_write() if
168 len argument is 0 and buffer is NULL.
169
170Changes
171 * The C code follows a new coding style. This is transparent for users but
172 affects contributors and maintainers of local patches. For more
173 information, see
174 https://mbed-tls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kb/how-to/rewrite-branch-for-coding-style/
175 * Changed the default MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE from 6 to 2.
176 As tested in issue 6790, the correlation between this define and
177 RSA decryption performance has changed lately due to security fixes.
178 To fix the performance degradation when using default values the
179 window was reduced from 6 to 2, a value that gives the best or close
180 to best results when tested on Cortex-M4 and Intel i7.

183
184Security
185 * Fix potential heap buffer overread and overwrite in DTLS if
186 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID is enabled and
187 MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_IN_LEN_MAX > 2 * MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_OUT_LEN_MAX.
Tom Cosgrovefc09b752023-03-08 15:58:47 +0000188 * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough information
189 about memory accesses (typically, an untrusted operating system attacking
190 a secure enclave) could recover an RSA private key after observing the
191 victim performing a single private-key operation if the window size used
192 for the exponentiation was 3 or smaller. Found and reported by Zili KOU,
Aditya Deshpandea26938a2022-12-08 11:01:53 +0000193 Wenjian HE, Sharad Sinha, and Wei ZHANG. See "Cache Side-channel Attacks
194 and Defenses of the Sliding Window Algorithm in TEEs" - Design, Automation
195 and Test in Europe 2023.
196
197Bugfix
198 * Fix a long-standing build failure when building x86 PIC code with old
199 gcc (4.x). The code will be slower, but will compile. We do however
200 recommend upgrading to a more recent compiler instead. Fixes #1910.
201 * Fix support for little-endian Microblaze when MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM is defined.
202 Contributed by Kazuyuki Kimura to fix #2020.
203 * Use double quotes to include private header file psa_crypto_cipher.h.
204 Fixes 'file not found with <angled> include' error
205 when building with Xcode.
206 * Fix handling of broken symlinks when loading certificates using
207 mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path(). Instead of returning an error as soon as a
208 broken link is encountered, skip the broken link and continue parsing
209 other certificate files. Contributed by Eduardo Silva in #2602.
210 * Fix a compilation error when using CMake with an IAR toolchain.
211 Fixes #5964.
Aditya Deshpanded6f774f2022-12-09 12:52:43 +0000212 * Fix bugs and missing dependencies when building and testing
213 configurations with only one encryption type enabled in TLS 1.2.
Aditya Deshpandea26938a2022-12-08 11:01:53 +0000214 * Provide the missing definition of mbedtls_setbuf() in some configurations
215 with MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_C disabled. Fixes #6118, #6196.
216 * Fix compilation errors when trying to build with
217 PSA drivers for AEAD (GCM, CCM, Chacha20-Poly1305).
aditya-deshpande-armbf864162022-12-09 10:36:50 +0000218 * Fix memory leak in ssl_parse_certificate_request() caused by
219 mbedtls_x509_get_name() not freeing allocated objects in case of error.
220 Change mbedtls_x509_get_name() to clean up allocated objects on error.
Aditya Deshpandea26938a2022-12-08 11:01:53 +0000221 * Fix checks on PK in check_config.h for builds with PSA and RSA. This does
222 not change which builds actually work, only moving a link-time error to
223 an early check.
224 * Fix ECDSA verification, where it was not always validating the
225 public key. This bug meant that it was possible to verify a
226 signature with an invalid public key, in some cases. Reported by
227 Guido Vranken using Cryptofuzz in #4420.
228 * Fix a possible null pointer dereference if a memory allocation fails
229 in TLS PRF code. Reported by Michael Madsen in #6516.
230 * Fix a bug in which mbedtls_x509_crt_info() would produce non-printable
231 bytes when parsing certificates containing a binary RFC 4108
232 HardwareModuleName as a Subject Alternative Name extension. Hardware
233 serial numbers are now rendered in hex format. Fixes #6262.
234 * Fix bug in error reporting in dh_genprime.c where upon failure,
235 the error code returned by mbedtls_mpi_write_file() is overwritten
236 and therefore not printed.
237 * In the bignum module, operations of the form (-A) - (+A) or (-A) - (-A)
238 with A > 0 created an unintended representation of the value 0 which was
239 not processed correctly by some bignum operations. Fix this. This had no
240 consequence on cryptography code, but might affect applications that call
241 bignum directly and use negative numbers.
242 * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) of
243 mbedtls_mpi_add_mpi(), mbedtls_mpi_add_abs() and mbedtls_mpi_add_int()
244 when both operands are 0 and the left operand is represented with 0 limbs.
245 * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) when some bignum
246 functions receive the most negative value of mbedtls_mpi_sint. Credit
247 to OSS-Fuzz. Fixes #6597.
248 * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) in PSA ECB
249 encryption and decryption.

Dave Rodgman6743ec42022-07-06 16:45:41 +0100252
253Default behavior changes
254 * mbedtls_cipher_set_iv will now fail with ChaCha20 and ChaCha20+Poly1305
255 for IV lengths other than 12. The library was silently overwriting this
256 length with 12, but did not inform the caller about it. Fixes #4301.
257
258Features
259 * When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is enabled, you may list the PSA crypto
260 feature requirements in the file named by the new macro
261 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG_FILE instead of the default psa/crypto_config.h.
262 Furthermore you may name an additional file to include after the main
263 file with the macro MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_USER_CONFIG_FILE.
264
265Security
266 * Zeroize dynamically-allocated buffers used by the PSA Crypto key storage
267 module before freeing them. These buffers contain secret key material, and
268 could thus potentially leak the key through freed heap.
269 * Fix a potential heap buffer overread in TLS 1.2 server-side when
270 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled, an opaque key (created with
271 mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque()) is provisioned, and a static ECDH ciphersuite
272 is selected. This may result in an application crash or potentially an
273 information leak.
274 * Fix a buffer overread in DTLS ClientHello parsing in servers with
275 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE enabled. An unauthenticated client
276 or a man-in-the-middle could cause a DTLS server to read up to 255 bytes
277 after the end of the SSL input buffer. The buffer overread only happens
278 when MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN is less than a threshold that depends on
279 the exact configuration: 258 bytes if using mbedtls_ssl_cookie_check(),
280 and possibly up to 571 bytes with a custom cookie check function.
281 Reported by the Cybeats PSI Team.
282
283Bugfix
284 * Fix a memory leak if mbedtls_ssl_config_defaults() is called twice.
285 * Fix several bugs (warnings, compiler and linker errors, test failures)
286 in reduced configurations when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
287 * Fix a bug in (D)TLS curve negotiation: when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO was
288 enabled and an ECDHE-ECDSA or ECDHE-RSA key exchange was used, the
289 client would fail to check that the curve selected by the server for
290 ECDHE was indeed one that was offered. As a result, the client would
291 accept any curve that it supported, even if that curve was not allowed
292 according to its configuration. Fixes #5291.
293 * Fix unit tests that used 0 as the file UID. This failed on some
294 implementations of PSA ITS. Fixes #3838.
295 * Fix API violation in mbedtls_md_process() test by adding a call to
296 mbedtls_md_starts(). Fixes #2227.
297 * Fix compile errors when MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME is not defined. Add tests
298 to catch bad uses of time.h.
299 * Fix the library search path when building a shared library with CMake
300 on Windows.
301 * Fix bug in the alert sending function mbedtls_ssl_send_alert_message()
302 potentially leading to corrupted alert messages being sent in case
303 the function needs to be re-called after initially returning
304 MBEDTLS_SSL_WANT_WRITE. Fixes #1916.
305 * In configurations with MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID enabled but none of
306 MBEDTLS_SSL_HW_RECORD_ACCEL, MBEDTLS_SSL_EXPORT_KEYS or MBEDTLS_DEBUG_C,
307 DTLS handshakes using CID would crash due to a null pointer dereference.
308 Fix this. Fixes #3998.
309 * Fix incorrect documentation of mbedtls_x509_crt_profile. The previous
310 documentation stated that the `allowed_pks` field applies to signatures
311 only, but in fact it does apply to the public key type of the end entity
312 certificate, too. Fixes #1992.
313 * Fix PSA cipher multipart operations using ARC4. Previously, an IV was
314 required but discarded. Now, an IV is rejected, as it should be.
315 * Fix undefined behavior in mbedtls_asn1_find_named_data(), where val is
316 not NULL and val_len is zero.
317 * psa_raw_key_agreement() now returns PSA_ERROR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL when
318 applicable. Fixes #5735.
319 * Fix a bug in the x25519 example program where the removal of
320 MBEDTLS_ECDH_LEGACY_CONTEXT caused the program not to run. Fixes #4901 and
321 #3191.
322 * Encode X.509 dates before 1/1/2000 as UTCTime rather than
323 GeneralizedTime. Fixes #5465.
Dave Rodgmanfa827b42022-07-06 17:04:24 +0100324 * Fix order value of curve x448.
Dave Rodgman6743ec42022-07-06 16:45:41 +0100325 * Fix string representation of DNs when outputting values containing commas
326 and other special characters, conforming to RFC 1779. Fixes #769.
327 * Silence a warning from GCC 12 in the selftest program. Fixes #5974.
328 * Fix mbedtls_asn1_write_mpi() writing an incorrect encoding of 0.
329 * Fix resource leaks in mbedtls_pk_parse_public_key() in low
330 memory conditions.
331 * Fix server connection identifier setting for outgoing encrypted records
332 on DTLS 1.2 session resumption. After DTLS 1.2 session resumption with
333 connection identifier, the Mbed TLS client now properly sends the server
334 connection identifier in encrypted record headers. Fix #5872.
335 * Fix a null pointer dereference when performing some operations on zero
336 represented with 0 limbs (specifically mbedtls_mpi_mod_int() dividing
337 by 2, and mbedtls_mpi_write_string() in base 2).
338 * Fix record sizes larger than 16384 being sometimes accepted despite being
339 non-compliant. This could not lead to a buffer overflow. In particular,
340 application data size was already checked correctly.
341
342Changes
343 * Assume source files are in UTF-8 when using MSVC with CMake.
344

Dave Rodgman0798a822021-12-15 11:48:21 +0000346
347API changes
348 * Some fields of mbedtls_ssl_session and mbedtls_ssl_config are in a
349 different order. This only affects applications that define such
350 structures directly or serialize them.
351
352Requirement changes
353 * Sign-magnitude and one's complement representations for signed integers are
354 not supported. Two's complement is the only supported representation.
355
356Removals
357 * Remove config option MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_CERTIFICATES,
358 which allowed SHA-1 in the default TLS configuration for certificate
359 signing. It was intended to facilitate the transition in environments
360 with SHA-1 certificates. SHA-1 is considered a weak message digest and
361 its use constitutes a security risk.
362 * Remove the partial support for running unit tests via Greentea on Mbed OS,
363 which had been unmaintained since 2018.
364
365Features
366 * The identifier of the CID TLS extension can be configured by defining
367 MBEDTLS_TLS_EXT_CID at compile time.
368 * Warn if errors from certain functions are ignored. This is currently
369 supported on GCC-like compilers and on MSVC and can be configured through
370 the macro MBEDTLS_CHECK_RETURN. The warnings are always enabled
371 (where supported) for critical functions where ignoring the return
372 value is almost always a bug. Enable the new configuration option
373 MBEDTLS_CHECK_RETURN_WARNING to get warnings for other functions. This
374 is currently implemented in the AES, DES and md modules, and will be
375 extended to other modules in the future.
376 * Add missing PSA macros declared by PSA Crypto API 1.0.0:
377 PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH, PSA_ALG_NONE, PSA_HASH_BLOCK_LENGTH, PSA_KEY_ID_NULL.
Dave Rodgmanf00d9a22021-12-15 11:52:54 +0000378 * Add new API mbedtls_ct_memcmp for constant time buffer comparison.
Dave Rodgman0798a822021-12-15 11:48:21 +0000379 * Add PSA API definition for ARIA.
380
381Security
382 * Zeroize several intermediate variables used to calculate the expected
383 value when verifying a MAC or AEAD tag. This hardens the library in
384 case the value leaks through a memory disclosure vulnerability. For
385 example, a memory disclosure vulnerability could have allowed a
386 man-in-the-middle to inject fake ciphertext into a DTLS connection.
387 * In psa_cipher_generate_iv() and psa_cipher_encrypt(), do not read back
388 from the output buffer. This fixes a potential policy bypass or decryption
389 oracle vulnerability if the output buffer is in memory that is shared with
390 an untrusted application.
Dave Rodgmanf00d9a22021-12-15 11:52:54 +0000391 * Fix a double-free that happened after mbedtls_ssl_set_session() or
392 mbedtls_ssl_get_session() failed with MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_ALLOC_FAILED
393 (out of memory). After that, calling mbedtls_ssl_session_free()
394 and mbedtls_ssl_free() would cause an internal session buffer to
395 be free()'d twice.

397Bugfix
398 * Stop using reserved identifiers as local variables. Fixes #4630.
399 * The GNU makefiles invoke python3 in preference to python except on Windows.
400 The check was accidentally not performed when cross-compiling for Windows
401 on Linux. Fix this. Fixes #4774.
402 * Prevent divide by zero if either of PSA_CIPHER_ENCRYPT_OUTPUT_SIZE() or
403 PSA_CIPHER_UPDATE_OUTPUT_SIZE() were called using an asymmetric key type.
404 * Fix a parameter set but unused in psa_crypto_cipher.c. Fixes #4935.
405 * Don't use the obsolete header path sys/fcntl.h in unit tests.
406 These header files cause compilation errors in musl.
407 Fixes #4969.
408 * Fix missing constraints on x86_64 and aarch64 assembly code
409 for bignum multiplication that broke some bignum operations with
410 (at least) Clang 12.
411 Fixes #4116, #4786, #4917, #4962.
412 * Fix mbedtls_cipher_crypt: AES-ECB when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
413 * Failures of alternative implementations of AES or DES single-block
414 functions enabled with MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT_ALT, MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT_ALT,
415 MBEDTLS_DES_CRYPT_ECB_ALT or MBEDTLS_DES3_CRYPT_ECB_ALT were ignored.
416 This does not concern the implementation provided with Mbed TLS,
417 where this function cannot fail, or full-module replacements with
418 MBEDTLS_AES_ALT or MBEDTLS_DES_ALT. Reported by Armelle Duboc in #1092.
419 * Some failures of HMAC operations were ignored. These failures could only
420 happen with an alternative implementation of the underlying hash module.
421 * Fix the error returned by psa_generate_key() for a public key. Fixes #4551.
422 * Fix the build of sample programs when neither MBEDTLS_ERROR_C nor
423 MBEDTLS_ERROR_STRERROR_DUMMY is enabled.
424 * Fix PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS verification accepting an arbitrary salt length.
425 This algorithm now accepts only the same salt length for verification
426 that it produces when signing, as documented. Use the new algorithm
427 PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS_ANY_SALT to accept any salt length. Fixes #4946.
428 * The existing predicate macro name PSA_ALG_IS_HASH_AND_SIGN is now reserved
429 for algorithm values that fully encode the hashing step, as per the PSA
430 Crypto API specification. This excludes PSA_ALG_RSA_PKCS1V15_SIGN_RAW and
431 PSA_ALG_ECDSA_ANY. The new predicate macro PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH covers
432 all algorithms that can be used with psa_{sign,verify}_hash(), including
433 these two.
434 * Fix issue in Makefile on Linux with SHARED=1, that caused shared libraries
435 not to list other shared libraries they need.
Dave Rodgmanf00d9a22021-12-15 11:52:54 +0000436 * Fix a bug in mbedtls_gcm_starts() when the bit length of the iv
437 exceeds 2^32. Fixes #4884.
Dave Rodgman0798a822021-12-15 11:48:21 +0000438 * Fix an uninitialized variable warning in test_suite_ssl.function with GCC
439 version 11.
440 * Fix the build when no SHA2 module is included. Fixes #4930.
441 * Fix the build when only the bignum module is included. Fixes #4929.
442 * Fix a potential invalid pointer dereference and infinite loop bugs in
443 pkcs12 functions when the password is empty. Fix the documentation to
444 better describe the inputs to these functions and their possible values.
445 Fixes #5136.
Dave Rodgman0798a822021-12-15 11:48:21 +0000446 * The key usage flags PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_MESSAGE now allows the MAC
447 operations psa_mac_compute() and psa_mac_sign_setup().
448 * The key usage flags PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_MESSAGE now allows the MAC
449 operations psa_mac_verify() and psa_mac_verify_setup().
450
451Changes
452 * Set config option MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_KEY_EXCHANGE to be
453 disabled by default.
454 * Improve the performance of base64 constant-flow code. The result is still
455 slower than the original non-constant-flow implementation, but much faster
456 than the previous constant-flow implementation. Fixes #4814.
457 * Indicate in the error returned if the nonce length used with
458 ChaCha20-Poly1305 is invalid, and not just unsupported.
Dave Rodgmanf00d9a22021-12-15 11:52:54 +0000459 * The mbedcrypto library includes a new source code module constant_time.c,
460 containing various functions meant to resist timing side channel attacks.
461 This module does not have a separate configuration option, and functions
462 from this module will be included in the build as required. Currently
463 most of the interface of this module is private and may change at any
464 time.

Paul Elliott67123322021-07-01 17:37:55 +0100467
468API changes
469 * Update AEAD output size macros to bring them in line with the PSA Crypto
470 API version 1.0 spec. This version of the spec parameterizes them on the
471 key type used, as well as the key bit-size in the case of
472 PSA_AEAD_TAG_LENGTH.
473 The old versions of these macros were renamed and deprecated as follows:
474 - PSA_AEAD_TAG_LENGTH -> PSA_AEAD_TAG_LENGTH_1_ARG
475 - PSA_AEAD_ENCRYPT_OUTPUT_SIZE -> PSA_AEAD_ENCRYPT_OUTPUT_SIZE_2_ARG
476 - PSA_AEAD_DECRYPT_OUTPUT_SIZE -> PSA_AEAD_DECRYPT_OUTPUT_SIZE_2_ARG
477 - PSA_AEAD_UPDATE_OUTPUT_SIZE -> PSA_AEAD_UPDATE_OUTPUT_SIZE_2_ARG
478 - PSA_AEAD_FINISH_OUTPUT_SIZE -> PSA_AEAD_FINISH_OUTPUT_SIZE_1_ARG
479 - PSA_AEAD_VERIFY_OUTPUT_SIZE -> PSA_AEAD_VERIFY_OUTPUT_SIZE_1_ARG
480 * Implement one-shot cipher functions, psa_cipher_encrypt and
481 psa_cipher_decrypt, according to the PSA Crypto API 1.0.0
482 specification.
483
484Requirement changes
485 * The library now uses the %zu format specifier with the printf() family of
486 functions, so requires a toolchain that supports it. This change does not
487 affect the maintained LTS branches, so when contributing changes please
488 bear this in mind and do not add them to backported code.
489
490Features
491 * Add mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pss_sign_ext() function allowing to generate a
492 signature with a specific salt length. This function allows to validate
493 test cases provided in the NIST's CAVP test suite. Contributed by Cédric
494 Meuter in PR #3183.
495 * Added support for built-in driver keys through the PSA opaque crypto
496 driver interface. Refer to the documentation of
497 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_BUILTIN_KEYS for more information.
498 * Implement psa_sign_message() and psa_verify_message().
499 * The new function mbedtls_mpi_random() generates a random value in a
500 given range uniformly.
501 * Implement psa_mac_compute() and psa_mac_verify() as defined in the
502 PSA Cryptograpy API 1.0.0 specification.
503 * MBEDTLS_ECP_MAX_BITS is now determined automatically from the configured
504 curves and no longer needs to be configured explicitly to save RAM.
505
506Security
Dave Rodgman699ccf82021-07-05 18:10:27 +0100507 * Fix a bias in the generation of finite-field Diffie-Hellman-Merkle (DHM)
508 private keys and of blinding values for DHM and elliptic curves (ECP)
509 computations. Reported by FlorianF89 in #4245.
510 * Fix a potential side channel vulnerability in ECDSA ephemeral key generation.
511 An adversary who is capable of very precise timing measurements could
512 learn partial information about the leading bits of the nonce used for the
513 signature, allowing the recovery of the private key after observing a
514 large number of signature operations. This completes a partial fix in
515 Mbed TLS 2.20.0.
Paul Elliott67123322021-07-01 17:37:55 +0100516 * It was possible to configure MBEDTLS_ECP_MAX_BITS to a value that is
517 too small, leading to buffer overflows in ECC operations. Fail the build
518 in such a case.
Tom Cosgrovefc09b752023-03-08 15:58:47 +0000519 * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough information
520 about memory accesses (typically, an untrusted operating system attacking
521 a secure enclave) could recover an RSA private key after observing the
522 victim performing a single private-key operation. Found and reported by
Paul Elliott67123322021-07-01 17:37:55 +0100523 Zili KOU, Wenjian HE, Sharad Sinha, and Wei ZHANG.
Tom Cosgrovefc09b752023-03-08 15:58:47 +0000524 * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough timing
525 information (typically, a co-located process) could recover a Curve25519
526 or Curve448 static ECDH key after inputting a chosen public key and
527 observing the victim performing the corresponding private-key operation.
528 Found and reported by Leila Batina, Lukas Chmielewski, Björn Haase, Niels
529 Samwel and Peter Schwabe.
Paul Elliott67123322021-07-01 17:37:55 +0100530
531Bugfix
532 * Add printf function attributes to mbedtls_debug_print_msg to ensure we
533 get printf format specifier warnings.
534 * Fix premature fopen() call in mbedtls_entropy_write_seed_file which may
Paul Elliott40d3fd32021-07-02 11:08:07 +0100535 lead to seed file corruption in the case where the path to the seed file is
Paul Elliott67123322021-07-01 17:37:55 +0100536 equal to MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_STD_NV_SEED_FILE. Contributed by Victor
537 Krasnoshchok in #3616.
538 * PSA functions other than psa_open_key now return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE
539 rather than PSA_ERROR_DOES_NOT_EXIST for an invalid handle, bringing them
540 in line with version 1.0.0 of the specification. Fix #4162.
541 * PSA functions creating a key now return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT rather
542 than PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE when the identifier specified for the key
543 to create is not valid, bringing them in line with version 1.0.0 of the
544 specification. Fix #4271.
545 * Fix some cases in the bignum module where the library constructed an
546 unintended representation of the value 0 which was not processed
547 correctly by some bignum operations. This could happen when
548 mbedtls_mpi_read_string() was called on "-0", or when
549 mbedtls_mpi_mul_mpi() and mbedtls_mpi_mul_int() was called with one of
550 the arguments being negative and the other being 0. Fixes #4643.
551 * Fix a bug in ECDSA that would cause it to fail when the hash is all-bits
552 zero. Fixes #1792
553 * Fix a compilation error when MBEDTLS_ECP_RANDOMIZE_MXZ_ALT is
554 defined. Fixes #4217.
555 * Fix an incorrect error code when parsing a PKCS#8 private key.
556 * In a TLS client, enforce the Diffie-Hellman minimum parameter size
557 set with mbedtls_ssl_conf_dhm_min_bitlen() precisely. Before, the
558 minimum size was rounded down to the nearest multiple of 8.
559 * In library/net_sockets.c, _POSIX_C_SOURCE and _XOPEN_SOURCE are
560 defined to specific values. If the code is used in a context
561 where these are already defined, this can result in a compilation
562 error. Instead, assume that if they are defined, the values will
563 be adequate to build Mbed TLS.
564 * The cipher suite TLS-RSA-WITH-CAMELLIA-256-GCM-SHA384 was not available
565 when SHA-1 was disabled and was offered when SHA-1 was enabled but SHA-384
566 was disabled. Fix the dependency. Fixes #4472.
567 * Do not offer SHA384 cipher suites when SHA-384 is disabled. Fixes #4499.
568 * With MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C disabled, some functions were getting built
569 nonetheless, resulting in undefined reference errors when building a
570 shared library. Reported by Guillermo Garcia M. in #4411.
571 * Fix test suite code on platforms where int32_t is not int, such as
572 Arm Cortex-M. Fixes #4530.
573 * Fix some issues affecting MBEDTLS_ARIA_ALT implementations: a misplaced
574 directive in a header and a missing initialization in the self-test.
575 * Fix a missing initialization in the Camellia self-test, affecting
576 MBEDTLS_CAMELLIA_ALT implementations.
577 * Restore the ability to configure PSA via Mbed TLS options to support RSA
578 key pair operations but exclude RSA key generation. When MBEDTLS_GENPRIME
579 is not defined PSA will no longer attempt to use mbedtls_rsa_gen_key().
580 Fixes #4512.
581 * Fix a regression introduced in 2.24.0 which broke (D)TLS CBC ciphersuites
582 (when the encrypt-then-MAC extension is not in use) with some ALT
583 implementations of the underlying hash (SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384), causing
584 the affected side to wrongly reject valid messages. Fixes #4118.
585 * Remove outdated check-config.h check that prevented implementing the
586 timing module on Mbed OS. Fixes #4633.
587 * Fix PSA_ALG_TLS12_PRF and PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS being too permissive
588 about missing inputs.
589 * Fix mbedtls_net_poll() and mbedtls_net_recv_timeout() often failing with
590 MBEDTLS_ERR_NET_POLL_FAILED on Windows. Fixes #4465.
591 * Fix a resource leak in a test suite with an alternative AES
592 implementation. Fixes #4176.
593 * Fix a crash in mbedtls_mpi_debug_mpi on a bignum having 0 limbs. This
594 could notably be triggered by setting the TLS debug level to 3 or above
595 and using a Montgomery curve for the key exchange. Reported by lhuang04
596 in #4578. Fixes #4608.
597 * psa_verify_hash() was relying on implementation-specific behavior of
Paul Elliottf3e1a252021-07-02 14:28:53 +0100598 mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pss_verify() and was causing failures in some _ALT
599 implementations. This reliance is now removed. Fixes #3990.
Paul Elliott67123322021-07-01 17:37:55 +0100600 * Disallow inputs of length different from the corresponding hash when
601 signing or verifying with PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS (The PSA Crypto API mandates
602 that PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS uses the same hash throughout the algorithm.)
603 * Fix a null pointer dereference when mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod() was called with
604 A=0 represented with 0 limbs. Up to and including Mbed TLS 2.26, this bug
605 could not be triggered by code that constructed A with one of the
606 mbedtls_mpi_read_xxx functions (including in particular TLS code) since
607 those always built an mpi object with at least one limb.
608 Credit to OSS-Fuzz. Fixes #4641.
609 * Fix mbedtls_mpi_gcd(G,A,B) when the value of B is zero. This had no
610 effect on Mbed TLS's internal use of mbedtls_mpi_gcd(), but may affect
611 applications that call mbedtls_mpi_gcd() directly. Fixes #4642.
612 * The PSA API no longer allows the creation or destruction of keys with a
613 read-only lifetime. The persistence level PSA_KEY_PERSISTENCE_READ_ONLY
614 can now only be used as intended, for keys that cannot be modified through
615 normal use of the API.
616 * When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SPM is enabled, crypto_spe.h was not included
617 in all the right places. Include it from crypto_platform.h, which is
618 the natural place. Fixes #4649.
619 * mbedtls_pk_sign() and mbedtls_pk_verify() and their extended and
620 restartable variants now always honor the specified hash length if
621 nonzero. Before, for RSA, hash_len was ignored in favor of the length of
622 the specified hash algorithm.
623 * Fix which alert is sent in some cases to conform to the
624 applicable RFC: on an invalid Finished message value, an
625 invalid max_fragment_length extension, or an
626 unsupported extension used by the server.
Paul Elliott3ca48922021-07-01 18:08:30 +0100627 * Correct (change from 12 to 13 bytes) the value of the macro describing the
628 maximum nonce length returned by psa_aead_generate_nonce().
Paul Elliott67123322021-07-01 17:37:55 +0100629
630Changes
631 * Add extra printf compiler warning flags to builds.
Paul Elliott40d3fd32021-07-02 11:08:07 +0100632 * Fix memsan build false positive in x509_crt.c with Clang 11
Paul Elliott67123322021-07-01 17:37:55 +0100633 * Fix the setting of the read timeout in the DTLS sample programs.
634 * Remove the AES sample application programs/aes/aescrypt2 which shows
635 bad cryptographic practice. Fix #1906.
636 * Alternative implementations of CMAC may now opt to not support 3DES as a
637 CMAC block cipher, and still pass the CMAC self test.
638 * Remove configs/config-psa-crypto.h, which was identical to the default
639 configuration except for having some extra cryptographic mechanisms
640 enabled and for unintended differences. This configuration was primarily
641 intended to demonstrate the PSA API, and lost most of its usefulness when
642 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C became enabled by default.
643 * When building the test suites with GNU make, invoke python3 or python, not
644 python2, which is no longer supported upstream.
Dave Rodgman4614cb12021-07-05 18:50:01 +0100645 * When using session cache based session resumption on the server,
646 double-check that custom session cache implementations return
647 sessions which are consistent with the negotiated ciphersuite
648 and compression method.
Paul Elliott40d3fd32021-07-02 11:08:07 +0100649 * Fix build failure on MinGW toolchain when __USE_MING_ANSI_STDIO is on.
Paul Elliott67123322021-07-01 17:37:55 +0100650 When that flag is on, standard GNU C printf format specifiers
651 should be used.
652 * Reduce the default value of MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE. This reduces RAM usage
653 during ECC operations at a negligible performance cost.
654 * mbedtls_mpi_read_binary(), mbedtls_mpi_read_binary_le() and
655 mbedtls_mpi_read_string() now construct an mbedtls_mpi object with 0 limbs
656 when their input has length 0. Note that this is an implementation detail
657 and can change at any time, so this change should be transparent, but it
658 may result in mbedtls_mpi_write_binary() or mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
659 now writing an empty string where it previously wrote one or more
660 zero digits when operating from values constructed with an mpi_read
661 function and some mpi operations.
662 * Implicitly add PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_MESSAGE key usage policy flag when
663 PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_HASH flag is set and PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_MESSAGE flag
664 when PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_HASH flag is set. This usage flag extension
665 is also applied when loading a key from storage.

669API changes
670 * Renamed the PSA Crypto API output buffer size macros to bring them in line
671 with version 1.0.0 of the specification.
672 * The API glue function mbedtls_ecc_group_of_psa() now takes the curve size
673 in bits rather than bytes, with an additional flag to indicate if the
674 size may have been rounded up to a whole number of bytes.
675 * Renamed the PSA Crypto API AEAD tag length macros to bring them in line
676 with version 1.0.0 of the specification.
677
678Default behavior changes
679 * In mbedtls_rsa_context objects, the ver field was formerly documented
680 as always 0. It is now reserved for internal purposes and may take
681 different values.
682
683New deprecations
684 * PSA_KEY_EXPORT_MAX_SIZE, PSA_HASH_SIZE, PSA_MAC_FINAL_SIZE,
685 PSA_BLOCK_CIPHER_BLOCK_SIZE, PSA_MAX_BLOCK_CIPHER_BLOCK_SIZE and
686 PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS_MAX_PSK_LEN have been renamed, and the old names
687 deprecated.
688 * PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_DEFAULT_TAG_LENGTH and PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_TAG_LENGTH
689 have been renamed, and the old names deprecated.
690
691Features
692 * The PSA crypto subsystem can now use HMAC_DRBG instead of CTR_DRBG.
693 CTR_DRBG is used by default if it is available, but you can override
694 this choice by setting MBEDTLS_PSA_HMAC_DRBG_MD_TYPE at compile time.
695 Fix #3354.
696 * Automatic fallback to a software implementation of ECP when
697 MBEDTLS_ECP_xxx_ALT accelerator hooks are in use can now be turned off
698 through setting the new configuration flag MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_FALLBACK.
699 * The PSA crypto subsystem can now be configured to use less static RAM by
700 tweaking the setting for the maximum amount of keys simultaneously in RAM.
701 MBEDTLS_PSA_KEY_SLOT_COUNT sets the maximum number of volatile keys that
702 can exist simultaneously. It has a sensible default if not overridden.
703 * Partial implementation of the PSA crypto driver interface: Mbed TLS can
704 now use an external random generator instead of the library's own
705 entropy collection and DRBG code. Enable MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG
706 and see the documentation of mbedtls_psa_external_get_random() for details.
707 * Applications using both mbedtls_xxx and psa_xxx functions (for example,
708 applications using TLS and MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO) can now use the PSA
709 random generator with mbedtls_xxx functions. See the documentation of
710 mbedtls_psa_get_random() for details.
711 * In the PSA API, the policy for a MAC or AEAD algorithm can specify a
712 minimum MAC or tag length thanks to the new wildcards
713 PSA_ALG_AT_LEAST_THIS_LENGTH_MAC and
714 PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_AT_LEAST_THIS_LENGTH_TAG.
715
716Security
717 * Fix a security reduction in CTR_DRBG when the initial seeding obtained a
718 nonce from entropy. Applications were affected if they called
719 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len(), if they called
720 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_entropy_len() with a size that was 3/2 times the key
721 length, or when the entropy module uses SHA-256 and CTR_DRBG uses AES-256.
722 In such cases, a random nonce was necessary to achieve the advertised
723 security strength, but the code incorrectly used a constant instead of
724 entropy from the nonce.
725 Found by John Stroebel in #3819 and fixed in #3973.
726 * Fix a buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() when calculating
727 |A| - |B| where |B| is larger than |A| and has more limbs (so the
728 function should return MBEDTLS_ERR_MPI_NEGATIVE_VALUE). Only
729 applications calling mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() directly are affected:
730 all calls inside the library were safe since this function is
731 only called with |A| >= |B|. Reported by Guido Vranken in #4042.
732 * Fix an errorneous estimation for an internal buffer in
733 mbedtls_pk_write_key_pem(). If MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE is set to an odd
734 value the function might fail to write a private RSA keys of the largest
735 supported size.
736 Found by Daniel Otte, reported in #4093 and fixed in #4094.
737 * Fix a stack buffer overflow with mbedtls_net_poll() and
738 mbedtls_net_recv_timeout() when given a file descriptor that is
739 beyond FD_SETSIZE. Reported by FigBug in #4169.
740 * Guard against strong local side channel attack against base64 tables by
741 making access aceess to them use constant flow code.

744 * Fix use-after-scope error in programs/ssl/ssl_client2.c and ssl_server2.c
745 * Fix memory leak that occured when calling psa_close_key() on a
746 wrapped key with MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C defined.
747 * Fix an incorrect error code if an RSA private operation glitched.
748 * Fix a memory leak in an error case in psa_generate_derived_key_internal().
749 * Fix a resource leak in CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C
750 is enabled, on platforms where initializing a mutex allocates resources.
751 This was a regression introduced in the previous release. Reported in
752 #4017, #4045 and #4071.
753 * Ensure that calling mbedtls_rsa_free() or mbedtls_entropy_free()
754 twice is safe. This happens for RSA when some Mbed TLS library functions
755 fail. Such a double-free was not safe when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C was
756 enabled on platforms where freeing a mutex twice is not safe.
757 * Fix a resource leak in a bad-arguments case of mbedtls_rsa_gen_key()
758 when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled on platforms where initializing
759 a mutex allocates resources.
760 * Fixes a bug where, if the library was configured to include support for
761 both the old SE interface and the new PSA driver interface, external keys were
762 not loaded from storage. This was fixed by #3996.
763 * This change makes 'mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_basic_constraints'
764 consistent with RFC 5280 4.2.1.9 which says: "Conforming CAs MUST
765 include this extension in all CA certificates that contain public keys
766 used to validate digital signatures on certificates and MUST mark the
767 extension as critical in such certificates." Previous to this change,
768 the extension was always marked as non-critical. This was fixed by
769 #3698.
770
771Changes
772 * A new library C file psa_crypto_client.c has been created to contain
773 the PSA code needed by a PSA crypto client when the PSA crypto
774 implementation is not included into the library.
775 * On recent enough versions of FreeBSD and DragonFlyBSD, the entropy module
776 now uses the getrandom syscall instead of reading from /dev/urandom.

780API changes
781 * The numerical values of the PSA Crypto API macros have been updated to
782 conform to version 1.0.0 of the specification.
783 * PSA_ALG_STREAM_CIPHER replaces PSA_ALG_CHACHA20 and PSA_ALG_ARC4.
784 The underlying stream cipher is determined by the key type
785 (PSA_KEY_TYPE_CHACHA20 or PSA_KEY_TYPE_ARC4).
786 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
787 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() no longer accept NIST_KW contexts,
788 as they have no way to check if the output buffer is large enough.
789 Please use mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt_ext() and
790 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt_ext() instead. Credit to OSS-Fuzz and
791 Cryptofuzz. Fixes #3665.

793Requirement changes
Janos Follathe9216262020-12-10 11:03:01 +0000794 * Update the minimum required CMake version to 2.8.12. This silences a
795 warning on CMake 3.19.0. #3801
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +0000796
797New deprecations
Bence Szépkútife9a4252021-02-08 18:13:02 +0100798 * PSA_ALG_CHACHA20 and PSA_ALG_ARC4 have been deprecated.
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +0000799 Use PSA_ALG_STREAM_CIPHER instead.
800 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
801 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() are deprecated in favour of the new
802 functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt_ext() and
803 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt_ext(). Please note that with AEAD ciphers,
804 these new functions always append the tag to the ciphertext, and include
805 the tag in the ciphertext length.

807Features
Janos Follathd6ce1162020-12-09 16:32:01 +0000808 * Partial implementation of the new PSA Crypto accelerator APIs. (Symmetric
809 ciphers, asymmetric signing/verification and key generation, validate_key
810 entry point, and export_public_key interface.)
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +0000811 * Add support for ECB to the PSA cipher API.
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +0000812 * In PSA, allow using a key declared with a base key agreement algorithm
813 in combined key agreement and derivation operations, as long as the key
814 agreement algorithm in use matches the algorithm the key was declared with.
815 This is currently non-standard behaviour, but expected to make it into a
816 future revision of the PSA Crypto standard.
817 * Add MBEDTLS_TARGET_PREFIX CMake variable, which is prefixed to the mbedtls,
818 mbedcrypto, mbedx509 and apidoc CMake target names. This can be used by
819 external CMake projects that include this one to avoid CMake target name
820 clashes. The default value of this variable is "", so default target names
821 are unchanged.
822 * Add support for DTLS-SRTP as defined in RFC 5764. Contributed by Johan
823 Pascal, improved by Ron Eldor.
824 * In the PSA API, it is no longer necessary to open persistent keys:
825 operations now accept the key identifier. The type psa_key_handle_t is now
826 identical to psa_key_id_t instead of being platform-defined. This bridges
827 the last major gap to compliance with the PSA Cryptography specification
828 version 1.0.0. Opening persistent keys is still supported for backward
829 compatibility, but will be deprecated and later removed in future
830 releases.
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +0000831 * PSA_AEAD_NONCE_LENGTH, PSA_AEAD_NONCE_MAX_SIZE, PSA_CIPHER_IV_LENGTH and
832 PSA_CIPHER_IV_MAX_SIZE macros have been added as defined in version
833 1.0.0 of the PSA Crypto API specification.
834
835Security
836 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
837 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() would write past the minimum documented
838 size of the output buffer when used with NIST_KW. As a result, code using
839 those functions as documented with NIST_KW could have a buffer overwrite
840 of up to 15 bytes, with consequences ranging up to arbitrary code
841 execution depending on the location of the output buffer.
842 * Limit the size of calculations performed by mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod to
843 MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE to prevent a potential denial of service when
844 generating Diffie-Hellman key pairs. Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
845 * A failure of the random generator was ignored in mbedtls_mpi_fill_random(),
846 which is how most uses of randomization in asymmetric cryptography
847 (including key generation, intermediate value randomization and blinding)
848 are implemented. This could cause failures or the silent use of non-random
849 values. A random generator can fail if it needs reseeding and cannot not
850 obtain entropy, or due to an internal failure (which, for Mbed TLS's own
851 CTR_DRBG or HMAC_DRBG, can only happen due to a misconfiguration).
852 * Fix a compliance issue whereby we were not checking the tag on the
853 algorithm parameters (only the size) when comparing the signature in the
854 description part of the cert to the real signature. This meant that a
855 NULL algorithm parameters entry would look identical to an array of REAL
856 (size zero) to the library and thus the certificate would be considered
857 valid. However, if the parameters do not match in *any* way then the
858 certificate should be considered invalid, and indeed OpenSSL marks these
859 certs as invalid when mbedtls did not.
860 Many thanks to guidovranken who found this issue via differential fuzzing
861 and reported it in #3629.
862 * Zeroising of local buffers and variables which are used for calculations
863 in mbedtls_pkcs5_pbkdf2_hmac(), mbedtls_internal_sha*_process(),
864 mbedtls_internal_md*_process() and mbedtls_internal_ripemd160_process()
865 functions to erase sensitive data from memory. Reported by

868Bugfix
Paul Elliott40d3fd32021-07-02 11:08:07 +0100869 * Fix an invalid (but non-zero) return code from mbedtls_pk_parse_subpubkey()
Janos Follath76027f62020-12-09 16:28:35 +0000870 when the input has trailing garbage. Fixes #2512.
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +0000871 * Fix build failure in configurations where MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is
872 enabled but ECDSA is disabled. Contributed by jdurkop. Fixes #3294.
873 * Include the psa_constant_names generated source code in the source tree
874 instead of generating it at build time. Fixes #3524.
875 * Fix rsa_prepare_blinding() to retry when the blinding value is not
876 invertible (mod N), instead of returning MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_RNG_FAILED. This
877 addresses a regression but is rare in practice (approx. 1 in 2/sqrt(N)).
878 Found by Synopsys Coverity, fix contributed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin).
879 Fixes #3647.
880 * Use socklen_t on Android and other POSIX-compliant system
881 * Fix the build when the macro _GNU_SOURCE is defined to a non-empty value.
882 Fix #3432.
883 * Consistently return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT on invalid cipher input
884 sizes (instead of PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATE in some cases) to make the
885 psa_cipher_* functions compliant with the PSA Crypto API specification.
886 * mbedtls_ecp_curve_list() now lists Curve25519 and Curve448 under the names
887 "x25519" and "x448". These curves support ECDH but not ECDSA. If you need
888 only the curves that support ECDSA, filter the list with
889 mbedtls_ecdsa_can_do().
890 * Fix psa_generate_key() returning an error when asked to generate
891 an ECC key pair on Curve25519 or secp244k1.
892 * Fix psa_key_derivation_output_key() to allow the output of a combined key
893 agreement and subsequent key derivation operation to be used as a key
894 inside of the PSA Crypto core.
895 * Fix handling of EOF against 0xff bytes and on platforms with unsigned
896 chars. Fixes a build failure on platforms where char is unsigned. Fixes
897 #3794.
898 * Fix an off-by-one error in the additional data length check for
899 CCM, which allowed encryption with a non-standard length field.
900 Fixes #3719.
901 * Correct the default IV size for mbedtls_cipher_info_t structures using
902 MBEDTLS_MODE_ECB to 0, since ECB mode ciphers don't use IVs.
903 * Make arc4random_buf available on NetBSD and OpenBSD when _POSIX_C_SOURCE is
904 defined. Fix contributed in #3571.
905 * Fix conditions for including string.h in error.c. Fixes #3866.
906 * psa_set_key_id() now also sets the lifetime to persistent for keys located
907 in a secure element.
908 * Attempting to create a volatile key with a non-zero key identifier now
909 fails. Previously the key identifier was just ignored when creating a
910 volatile key.
911 * Attempting to create or register a key with a key identifier in the vendor
912 range now fails.
913 * Fix build failures on GCC 11. Fixes #3782.
914 * Add missing arguments of debug message in mbedtls_ssl_decrypt_buf.
915 * Fix a memory leak in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() when the result was negative
916 (an error condition) and the second operand was aliased to the result.
917 * Fix a case in elliptic curve arithmetic where an out-of-memory condition
918 could go undetected, resulting in an incorrect result.
919 * In CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG, don't reset the reseed interval in seed().
920 Fixes #2927.
921 * In PEM writing functions, fill the trailing part of the buffer with null
922 bytes. This guarantees that the corresponding parsing function can read
923 the buffer back, which was the case for mbedtls_x509write_{crt,csr}_pem
924 until this property was inadvertently broken in Mbed TLS 2.19.0.
925 Fixes #3682.
926 * Fix a build failure that occurred with the MBEDTLS_AES_SETKEY_DEC_ALT
927 option on. In this configuration key management methods that are required
928 for MBEDTLS_CIPHER_MODE_XTS were excluded from the build and made it fail.
929 Fixes #3818. Reported by John Stroebel.
930
931Changes
932 * Reduce stack usage significantly during sliding window exponentiation.
933 Reported in #3591 and fix contributed in #3592 by Daniel Otte.
934 * The PSA persistent storage format is updated to always store the key bits
935 attribute. No automatic upgrade path is provided. Previously stored keys
936 must be erased, or manually upgraded based on the key storage format
937 specification (docs/architecture/mbed-crypto-storage-specification.md).
938 Fixes #3740.
939 * Remove the zeroization of a pointer variable in AES rounds. It was valid
940 but spurious and misleading since it looked like a mistaken attempt to
941 zeroize the pointed-to buffer. Reported by Antonio de la Piedra, CEA
942 Leti, France.

946API changes
Janos Follath6012f0e2020-08-26 15:32:10 +0100947 * In the PSA API, rename the types of elliptic curve and Diffie-Hellman

961Features
962 * The new function mbedtls_ecp_write_key() exports private ECC keys back to
963 a byte buffer. It is the inverse of the existing mbedtls_ecp_read_key().
964 * Support building on e2k (Elbrus) architecture: correctly enable
965 -Wformat-signedness, and fix the code that causes signed-one-bit-field
966 and sign-compare warnings. Contributed by makise-homura (Igor Molchanov)

969Security
970 * Fix a vulnerability in the verification of X.509 certificates when
971 matching the expected common name (the cn argument of
972 mbedtls_x509_crt_verify()) with the actual certificate name: when the
973 subjecAltName extension is present, the expected name was compared to any
974 name in that extension regardless of its type. This means that an
975 attacker could for example impersonate a 4-bytes or 16-byte domain by
976 getting a certificate for the corresponding IPv4 or IPv6 (this would
977 require the attacker to control that IP address, though). Similar attacks
978 using other subjectAltName name types might be possible. Found and
979 reported by kFYatek in #3498.
980 * When checking X.509 CRLs, a certificate was only considered as revoked if
981 its revocationDate was in the past according to the local clock if
982 available. In particular, on builds without MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE,
983 certificates were never considered as revoked. On builds with
984 MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE, an attacker able to control the local clock (for
985 example, an untrusted OS attacking a secure enclave) could prevent
986 revocation of certificates via CRLs. Fixed by no longer checking the
987 revocationDate field, in accordance with RFC 5280. Reported by
988 yuemonangong in #3340. Reported independently and fixed by
989 Raoul Strackx and Jethro Beekman in #3433.
990 * In (D)TLS record decryption, when using a CBC ciphersuites without the
991 Encrypt-then-Mac extension, use constant code flow memory access patterns
992 to extract and check the MAC. This is an improvement to the existing
993 countermeasure against Lucky 13 attacks. The previous countermeasure was
994 effective against network-based attackers, but less so against local
995 attackers. The new countermeasure defends against local attackers, even
996 if they have access to fine-grained measurements. In particular, this
997 fixes a local Lucky 13 cache attack found and reported by Tuba Yavuz,
998 Farhaan Fowze, Ken (Yihan) Bai, Grant Hernandez, and Kevin Butler
999 (University of Florida) and Dave Tian (Purdue University).
1000 * Fix side channel in RSA private key operations and static (finite-field)
1001 Diffie-Hellman. An adversary with precise enough timing and memory access
1002 information (typically an untrusted operating system attacking a secure
1003 enclave) could bypass an existing counter-measure (base blinding) and
1004 potentially fully recover the private key.
1005 * Fix a 1-byte buffer overread in mbedtls_x509_crl_parse_der().
1006 Credit to OSS-Fuzz for detecting the problem and to Philippe Antoine
1007 for pinpointing the problematic code.
1008 * Zeroising of plaintext buffers in mbedtls_ssl_read() to erase unused
1009 application data from memory. Reported in #689 by
1010 Johan Uppman Bruce of Sectra.

1014 permission.
Janos Follath6012f0e2020-08-26 15:32:10 +01001015 * Use local labels in mbedtls_padlock_has_support() to fix an invalid symbol
1016 redefinition if the function is inlined.
Janos Follathc18a7b82020-08-26 14:49:16 +01001017 Reported in #3451 and fix contributed in #3452 by okhowang.
1018 * Fix the endianness of Curve25519 keys imported/exported through the PSA
1019 APIs. psa_import_key and psa_export_key will now correctly expect/output
1020 Montgomery keys in little-endian as defined by RFC7748. Contributed by
1021 Steven Cooreman in #3425.
1022 * Fix build errors when the only enabled elliptic curves are Montgomery
1023 curves. Raised by signpainter in #941 and by Taiki-San in #1412. This
1024 also fixes missing declarations reported by Steven Cooreman in #1147.
1025 * Fix self-test failure when the only enabled short Weierstrass elliptic
1026 curve is secp192k1. Fixes #2017.
1027 * PSA key import will now correctly import a Curve25519/Curve448 public key
1028 instead of erroring out. Contributed by Steven Cooreman in #3492.
1029 * Use arc4random_buf on NetBSD instead of rand implementation with cyclical
1030 lower bits. Fix contributed in #3540.
1031 * Fix a memory leak in mbedtls_md_setup() when using HMAC under low memory
1032 conditions. Reported and fix suggested by Guido Vranken in #3486.
1033 * Fix bug in redirection of unit test outputs on platforms where stdout is
1034 defined as a macro. First reported in #2311 and fix contributed in #3528.
1035
1036Changes
1037 * Only pass -Wformat-signedness to versions of GCC that support it. Reported
1038 in #3478 and fix contributed in #3479 by okhowang.
1039 * Reduce the stack consumption of mbedtls_x509write_csr_der() which
1040 previously could lead to stack overflow on constrained devices.
1041 Contributed by Doru Gucea and Simon Leet in #3464.
1042 * Undefine the ASSERT macro before defining it locally, in case it is defined
1043 in a platform header. Contributed by Abdelatif Guettouche in #3557.
1044 * Update copyright notices to use Linux Foundation guidance. As a result,
1045 the copyright of contributors other than Arm is now acknowledged, and the
1046 years of publishing are no longer tracked in the source files. This also
1047 eliminates the need for the lines declaring the files to be part of
1048 MbedTLS. Fixes #3457.
1049 * Add the command line parameter key_pwd to the ssl_client2 and ssl_server2
1050 example applications which allows to provide a password for the key file
1051 specified through the existing key_file argument. This allows the use of
1052 these applications with password-protected key files. Analogously but for
1053 ssl_server2 only, add the command line parameter key_pwd2 which allows to
1054 set a password for the key file provided through the existing key_file2
1055 argument.

1060 * In the experimental PSA secure element interface, change the encoding of
1061 key lifetimes to encode a persistence level and the location. Although C
1062 prototypes do not effectively change, code calling
1063 psa_register_se_driver() must be modified to pass the driver's location
1064 instead of the keys' lifetime. If the library is upgraded on an existing

1072 ones, but requires a writable buffer. Contributed by Gaurav Aggarwal
1073 in #3176.
1074 * The new utility programs/ssl/ssl_context_info prints a human-readable
1075 dump of an SSL context saved with mbedtls_ssl_context_save().
1076 * Add support for midipix, a POSIX layer for Microsoft Windows.
1077 * Add new mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() routine which allows
1078 parsing unsupported certificate extensions via user provided callback.
1079 Contributed by Nicola Di Lieto <nicola.dilieto@gmail.com> in #3243 as

1081 * Pass the "certificate policies" extension to the callback supplied to
1082 mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() if it contains unsupported
1083 policies (#3419).
1084 * Added support to entropy_poll for the kern.arandom syscall supported on

1090 reveal an RSA private key used in a secure enclave. Noticed by Sangho Lee,
1091 Ming-Wei Shih, Prasun Gera, Taesoo Kim and Hyesoon Kim (Georgia Institute
1092 of Technology); and Marcus Peinado (Microsoft Research). Reported by Raoul
1093 Strackx (Fortanix) in #3394.
1094 * Fix side channel in mbedtls_ecp_check_pub_priv() and
1095 mbedtls_pk_parse_key() / mbedtls_pk_parse_keyfile() (when loading a
1096 private key that didn't include the uncompressed public key), as well as
1097 mbedtls_ecp_mul() / mbedtls_ecp_mul_restartable() when called with a NULL
1098 f_rng argument. An attacker with access to precise enough timing and
1099 memory access information (typically an untrusted operating system
1100 attacking a secure enclave) could fully recover the ECC private key.
1101 Found and reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Brumley.
1102 * Fix issue in Lucky 13 counter-measure that could make it ineffective when
1103 hardware accelerators were used (using one of the MBEDTLS_SHAxxx_ALT
1104 macros). This would cause the original Lucky 13 attack to be possible in
1105 those configurations, allowing an active network attacker to recover
1106 plaintext after repeated timing measurements under some conditions.

1113 * Fix undefined behavior in X.509 certificate parsing if the
1114 pathLenConstraint basic constraint value is equal to INT_MAX.
1115 The actual effect with almost every compiler is the intended
1116 behavior, so this is unlikely to be exploitable anywhere. #3192
1117 * Fix issue with a detected HW accelerated record error not being exposed
1118 due to shadowed variable. Contributed by Sander Visser in #3310.
1119 * Avoid NULL pointer dereferencing if mbedtls_ssl_free() is called with a
1120 NULL pointer argument. Contributed by Sander Visser in #3312.
1121 * Fix potential linker errors on dual world platforms by inlining
1122 mbedtls_gcc_group_to_psa(). This allows the pk.c module to link separately
1123 from psa_crypto.c. Fixes #3300.
1124 * Remove dead code in X.509 certificate parsing. Contributed by irwir in
1125 #2855.
1126 * Include asn1.h in error.c. Fixes #3328 reported by David Hu.
1127 * Fix potential memory leaks in ecp_randomize_jac() and ecp_randomize_mxz()
1128 when PRNG function fails. Contributed by Jonas Lejeune in #3318.
1129 * Remove unused macros from MSVC projects. Reported in #3297 and fix
1130 submitted in #3333 by irwir.
1131 * Add additional bounds checks in ssl_write_client_hello() preventing
1132 output buffer overflow if the configuration declared a buffer that was
1133 too small.
1134 * Set _POSIX_C_SOURCE to at least 200112L in C99 code. Reported in #3420 and
1135 fix submitted in #3421 by Nia Alarie.
1136 * Fix building library/net_sockets.c and the ssl_mail_client program on
1137 NetBSD. Contributed by Nia Alarie in #3422.
1138 * Fix false positive uninitialised variable reported by cpp-check.
1139 Contributed by Sander Visser in #3311.
1140 * Update iv and len context pointers manually when reallocating buffers
1141 using the MBEDTLS_SSL_VARIABLE_BUFFER_LENGTH feature. This caused issues
1142 when receiving a connection with CID, when these fields were shifted
1143 in ssl_parse_record_header().

1146 * Fix warnings about signedness issues in format strings. The build is now
1147 clean of -Wformat-signedness warnings. Contributed by Kenneth Soerensen
1148 in #3153.
1149 * Fix minor performance issue in operations on Curve25519 caused by using a
1150 suboptimal modular reduction in one place. Found and fix contributed by
1151 Aurelien Jarno in #3209.
1152 * Combine identical cases in switch statements in md.c. Contributed
1153 by irwir in #3208.
1154 * Simplify a bounds check in ssl_write_certificate_request(). Contributed
1155 by irwir in #3150.
1156 * Unify the example programs termination to call mbedtls_exit() instead of
1157 using a return command. This has been done to enable customization of the
1158 behavior in bare metal environments.
1159 * Fix mbedtls_x509_dn_gets to escape non-ASCII characters as "?".
1160 Contributed by Koh M. Nakagawa in #3326.
1161 * Use FindPython3 when cmake version >= 3.15.0
1162 * Abort the ClientHello writing function as soon as some extension doesn't
1163 fit into the record buffer. Previously, such extensions were silently
1164 dropped. As a consequence, the TLS handshake now fails when the output
1165 buffer is not large enough to hold the ClientHello.
1166 * The unit tests now rely on header files in tests/include/test and source
1167 files in tests/src. When building with make or cmake, the files in
1168 tests/src are compiled and the resulting object linked into each test
1169 executable.
1170 * The ECP module, enabled by `MBEDTLS_ECP_C`, now depends on
1171 `MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_C` or `MBEDTLS_HMAC_DRBG_C` for some side-channel
1172 coutermeasures. If side channels are not a concern, this dependency can
1173 be avoided by enabling the new option `MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_INTERNAL_RNG`.
1174 * Align MSVC error flag with GCC and Clang. Contributed by Carlos Gomes
1175 Martinho. #3147

1239 operation. The overread only happens with cryptographically low
1240 probability (of the order of 2^-n where n is the bitsize of the curve)
1241 unless the RNG is broken, and could result in information disclosure or

Gilles Peskine8c7d2c22020-01-22 19:02:09 +01001280 * The initial seeding of a CTR_DRBG instance makes a second call to the
Gilles Peskine6a4c3402020-01-22 18:28:24 +01001281 entropy function to obtain entropy for a nonce if the entropy size is less
1282 than 3/2 times the key size. In case you want to disable the extra call to
Gilles Peskine8c7d2c22020-01-22 19:02:09 +01001283 grab entropy, you can call mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len() to force the

Gilles Peskine8c7d2c22020-01-22 19:02:09 +01001287 * Enforce that mbedtls_entropy_func() gathers a total of
1288 MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_BLOCK_SIZE bytes or more from strong sources. In the
Gilles Peskine6a4c3402020-01-22 18:28:24 +01001289 default configuration, on a platform with a single entropy source, the
1290 entropy module formerly only grabbed 32 bytes, which is good enough for
1291 security if the source is genuinely strong, but less than the expected 64
1292 bytes (size of the entropy accumulator).
Gilles Peskinee3b285d2020-01-27 14:01:42 +01001293 * Zeroize local variables in mbedtls_internal_aes_encrypt() and
1294 mbedtls_internal_aes_decrypt() before exiting the function. The value of
1295 these variables can be used to recover the last round key. To follow best
1296 practice and to limit the impact of buffer overread vulnerabilities (like
1297 Heartbleed) we need to zeroize them before exiting the function.
1298 Issue reported by Tuba Yavuz, Farhaan Fowze, Ken (Yihang) Bai,
1299 Grant Hernandez, and Kevin Butler (University of Florida) and
1300 Dave Tian (Purdue University).
1301 * Fix side channel vulnerability in ECDSA. Our bignum implementation is not
1302 constant time/constant trace, so side channel attacks can retrieve the
1303 blinded value, factor it (as it is smaller than RSA keys and not guaranteed
1304 to have only large prime factors), and then, by brute force, recover the
1305 key. Reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Brumley.
1306 * Fix side channel vulnerability in ECDSA key generation. Obtaining precise
1307 timings on the comparison in the key generation enabled the attacker to
1308 learn leading bits of the ephemeral key used during ECDSA signatures and to
1309 recover the private key. Reported by Jeremy Dubeuf.

Gilles Peskine52157832018-08-11 00:51:04 +02001389 * When writing a private EC key, use a constant size for the private
1390 value, as specified in RFC 5915. Previously, the value was written
1391 as an ASN.1 INTEGER, which caused the size of the key to leak
1392 about 1 bit of information on average and could cause the value to be
1393 1 byte too large for the output buffer.
Janos Follath12fff152019-01-04 16:18:46 +00001394 * The deterministic ECDSA calculation reused the scheme's HMAC-DRBG to
1395 implement blinding. Because of this for the same key and message the same
1396 blinding value was generated. This reduced the effectiveness of the
1397 countermeasure and leaked information about the private key through side
1398 channels. Reported by Jack Lloyd.

Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard64722632019-05-24 10:23:55 +02001401 * Add new API functions mbedtls_ssl_session_save() and
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard686adb42019-06-03 09:55:16 +02001402 mbedtls_ssl_session_load() to allow serializing a session, for example to
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard64722632019-05-24 10:23:55 +02001403 store it in non-volatile storage, and later using it for TLS session
1404 resumption.
Jarno Lamsa9e90df52019-08-23 09:08:31 +03001405 * Add a new API function mbedtls_ssl_check_record() to allow checking that
1406 an incoming record is valid, authentic and has not been seen before. This
1407 feature can be used alongside Connection ID and SSL context serialisation.
1408 The feature is enabled at compile-time by MBEDTLS_SSL_RECORD_CHECKING
1409 option.
Jaeden Amero49fcbea2019-08-30 15:50:45 +01001410 * New implementation of X25519 (ECDH using Curve25519) from Project Everest
1411 (https://project-everest.github.io/). It can be enabled at compile time
1412 with MBEDTLS_ECDH_VARIANT_EVEREST_ENABLED. This implementation is formally
1413 verified and significantly faster, but is only supported on x86 platforms
1414 (32-bit and 64-bit) using GCC, Clang or Visual Studio. Contributed by
1415 Christoph Wintersteiger from Microsoft Research.
Jaeden Amero8dd6bc72019-09-03 16:41:51 +01001416 * Add mbedtls_net_close(), enabling the building of forking servers where
1417 the parent process closes the client socket and continue accepting, and
1418 the child process closes the listening socket and handles the client
1419 socket. Contributed by Robert Larsen in #2803.

Gilles Peskine60b29d62019-08-14 18:37:59 +02001422 * Add DER-encoded test CRTs to library/certs.c, allowing
1423 the example programs ssl_server2 and ssl_client2 to be run
1424 if MBEDTLS_FS_IO and MBEDTLS_PEM_PARSE_C are unset. Fixes #2254.
1425 * The HAVEGE state type now uses uint32_t elements instead of int.
Jaeden Amero49fcbea2019-08-30 15:50:45 +01001426 * The functions mbedtls_ecp_curve_list() and mbedtls_ecp_grp_id_list() now
1427 list all curves for which at least one of ECDH or ECDSA is supported, not
1428 just curves for which both are supported. Call mbedtls_ecdsa_can_do() or
1429 mbedtls_ecdh_can_do() on each result to check whether each algorithm is
1430 supported.
Jaeden Amero4197f0e2019-09-06 14:40:10 +01001431 * The new function mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det_ext() is similar to
1432 mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det() but allows passing an external RNG for the
1433 purpose of blinding.
Janos Follath12fff152019-01-04 16:18:46 +00001434
1435New deprecations
1436 * Deprecate mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det() in favor of a functions that can take an
1437 RNG function as an input.
1438 * Calling mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature() with NULL as the f_rng argument
1439 is now deprecated.

Hanno Becker73540c02019-05-04 08:18:09 +01001459 * Avoid use of statically sized stack buffers for certificate writing.
1460 This previously limited the maximum size of DER encoded certificates
1461 in mbedtls_x509write_crt_der() to 2Kb. Reported by soccerGB in #2631.
Sébastien Duquette661d7252019-06-23 17:45:26 -04001462 * Fix partial zeroing in x509_get_other_name. Found and fixed by ekse, #2716.

Gilles Peskinec7ad1222019-06-13 16:44:19 +02001482 * Make it easier to define MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED as assert (which config.h
1483 suggests). #2671
Jaeden Amerobefe1e152019-06-03 09:14:14 +01001484 * Make `make clean` clean all programs always. Fixes #1862.
Peter Kolbuse4e2d3a2018-12-24 09:04:54 -06001485 * Add a Dockerfile and helper scripts (all-in-docker.sh, basic-in-docker.sh,
1486 docker-env.sh) to simplify running test suites on a Linux host. Contributed
1487 by Peter Kolbus (Garmin).
Jaeden Amerof473fa82019-07-09 13:41:54 +01001488 * Add `reproducible` option to `ssl_client2` and `ssl_server2` to enable

1493 Contributed by Philippe Antoine (Catena cyber).
Gilles Peskine2f084fe2020-03-02 21:48:03 +01001494 * Remove the crypto part of the library from Mbed TLS. The crypto
1495 code and tests are now only available via Mbed Crypto, which
1496 Mbed TLS references as a Git submodule.

1527 supported.
1528 * List all SAN types in the subject_alt_names field of the certificate.

Paul Bakker5121ce52009-01-03 21:22:43 +00001531 in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-dtls-connection-id-05.
1532 The Connection ID extension allows to keep DTLS connections beyond the
Paul Bakker99ed6782011-01-05 14:48:42 +00001533 lifetime of the underlying transport by adding a connection identifier
1534 to the DTLS record header. This identifier can be used to associated an

1575 mbedTLS configuration only SHA-2 signed certificates are accepted.
1576 This certificate is used in the demo server programs, which lead the
1577 client programs to fail at the peer's certificate verification

1594 which allows copy-less parsing of DER encoded X.509 CRTs,
Hanno Beckerac4172c2019-01-31 09:27:04 +00001595 at the cost of additional lifetime constraints on the input

1597 * Add a new function mbedtls_asn1_write_named_bitstring() to write ASN.1
1598 named bitstring in DER as required by RFC 5280 Appendix B.
1599 * Add MBEDTLS_REMOVE_3DES_CIPHERSUITES to allow removing 3DES ciphersuites
1600 from the default list (enabled by default). See
1601 https://sweet32.info/SWEET32_CCS16.pdf.

Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05001605 See the Features section for more information.
1606 * Allow to opt in to the removal the API mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()
1607 for the benefit of saving RAM, by disabling the new compile-time
1608 option MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE (enabled by default for
1609 API stability). Disabling this option makes mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()
1610 always return NULL, and removes the peer_cert field from the

1615 * Make mbedtls_ecdh_get_params return an error if the second key
1616 belongs to a different group from the first. Before, if an application
1617 passed keys that belonged to different group, the first key's data was
1618 interpreted according to the second group, which could lead to either

1627 * Reduce the stack consumption of mbedtls_mpi_fill_random() which could
1628 previously lead to a stack overflow on constrained targets.
1629 * Add `MBEDTLS_SELF_TEST` for the mbedtls_self_test functions
1630 in the header files, which missed the precompilation check. #971
1631 * Fix returning the value 1 when mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey failed.

1644 extensions in CSRs and CRTs that caused these bitstrings to not be encoded

1661 Previously, this could lead to functionally incorrect assembly being
1662 produced by some optimizing compilers, showing up as failures in
k-stachowiakc5a4a132019-02-05 09:11:58 +01001663 e.g. RSA or ECC signature operations. Reported in #1722, fix suggested
1664 by Aurelien Jarno and submitted by Jeffrey Martin.
Andres Amaya Garciaaabe52f2018-10-16 22:18:53 +01001665 * Reduce the complexity of the timing tests. They were assuming more than the
1666 underlying OS actually guarantees.
k-stachowiakcddbd012019-02-19 12:40:34 +01001667 * Fix configuration queries in ssl-opt.h. #2030
1668 * Ensure that ssl-opt.h can be run in OS X. #2029
Andres Amaya Garciaf8dffb32019-02-19 20:14:00 +00001669 * Re-enable certain interoperability tests in ssl-opt.sh which had previously
1670 been disabled for lack of a sufficiently recent version of GnuTLS on the CI.
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05001671 * Ciphersuites based on 3DES now have the lowest priority by default when
1672 they are enabled.
1673
1674= mbed TLS 2.16.0 branch released 2018-12-21
1675
1676Features
1677 * Add a new config.h option of MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS that enables validation
1678 of parameters in the API. This allows detection of obvious misuses of the
1679 API, such as passing NULL pointers. The API of existing functions hasn't
1680 changed, but requirements on parameters have been made more explicit in
1681 the documentation. See the corresponding API documentation for each
1682 function to see for which parameter values it is defined. This feature is
1683 disabled by default. See its API documentation in config.h for additional
1684 steps you have to take when enabling it.
1685
1686API Changes
1687 * The following functions in the random generator modules have been
1688 deprecated and replaced as shown below. The new functions change
1689 the return type from void to int to allow returning error codes when
1690 using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT for the underlying AES or message digest
1691 primitive. Fixes #1798.
1692 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update() -> mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret()
1693 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update() -> mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update_ret()
1694 * Extend ECDH interface to enable alternative implementations.
1695 * Deprecate error codes of the form MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx_INVALID_KEY_LENGTH for
1696 ARIA, CAMELLIA and Blowfish. These error codes will be replaced by
1697 the more generic per-module error codes MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx_BAD_INPUT_DATA.
1698 * Additional parameter validation checks have been added for the following
1699 modules - AES, ARIA, Blowfish, CAMELLIA, CCM, GCM, DHM, ECP, ECDSA, ECDH,
1700 ECJPAKE, SHA, Chacha20 and Poly1305, cipher, pk, RSA, and MPI.
1701 Where modules have had parameter validation added, existing parameter
1702 checks may have changed. Some modules, such as Chacha20 had existing
1703 parameter validation whereas other modules had little. This has now been
1704 changed so that the same level of validation is present in all modules, and
1705 that it is now optional with the MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS flag which by default
1706 is off. That means that checks which were previously present by default
1707 will no longer be.
1708
1709New deprecations
1710 * Deprecate mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update
1711 in favor of functions that can return an error code.
1712
1713Bugfix
1714 * Fix for Clang, which was reporting a warning for the bignum.c inline
1715 assembly for AMD64 targets creating string literals greater than those
1716 permitted by the ISO C99 standard. Found by Aaron Jones. Fixes #482.
1717 * Fix runtime error in `mbedtls_platform_entropy_poll()` when run
1718 through qemu user emulation. Reported and fix suggested by randombit
1719 in #1212. Fixes #1212.
1720 * Fix an unsafe bounds check when restoring an SSL session from a ticket.
1721 This could lead to a buffer overflow, but only in case ticket authentication
1722 was broken. Reported and fix suggested by Guido Vranken in #659.
1723 * Add explicit integer to enumeration type casts to example program
1724 programs/pkey/gen_key which previously led to compilation failure
1725 on some toolchains. Reported by phoenixmcallister. Fixes #2170.
1726 * Fix double initialization of ECC hardware that made some accelerators
1727 hang.
1728 * Clarify documentation of mbedtls_ssl_set_own_cert() regarding the absence
Andrzej Kurek8764ccc2019-02-05 04:57:13 -05001729 of check for certificate/key matching. Reported by Attila Molnar, #507.

1751Security
1752 * Fix timing variations and memory access variations in RSA PKCS#1 v1.5
1753 decryption that could lead to a Bleichenbacher-style padding oracle
1754 attack. In TLS, this affects servers that accept ciphersuites based on
1755 RSA decryption (i.e. ciphersuites whose name contains RSA but not
1756 (EC)DH(E)). Discovered by Eyal Ronen (Weizmann Institute), Robert Gillham
1757 (University of Adelaide), Daniel Genkin (University of Michigan),
1758 Adi Shamir (Weizmann Institute), David Wong (NCC Group), and Yuval Yarom
1759 (University of Adelaide, Data61). The attack is described in more detail
1760 in the paper available here: http://cat.eyalro.net/cat.pdf CVE-2018-19608
1761 * In mbedtls_mpi_write_binary(), don't leak the exact size of the number
1762 via branching and memory access patterns. An attacker who could submit
1763 a plaintext for RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 decryption but only observe the timing
1764 of the decryption and not its result could nonetheless decrypt RSA
1765 plaintexts and forge RSA signatures. Other asymmetric algorithms may
1766 have been similarly vulnerable. Reported by Eyal Ronen, Robert Gillham,
1767 Daniel Genkin, Adi Shamir, David Wong and Yuval Yarom.
1768 * Wipe sensitive buffers on the stack in the CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG
1769 modules.
1770
1771API Changes
1772 * The new functions mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret() and
1773 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update_ret() are similar to mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update()
1774 and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update() respectively, but the new functions
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05001775 report errors whereas the old functions return void. We recommend that
Simon Butcherc1b98922018-11-19 18:31:40 +00001776 applications use the new functions.

Simon Butcher681edee2018-11-07 16:25:38 +00001781 * Fix overly strict DN comparison when looking for CRLs belonging to a
1782 particular CA. This previously led to ignoring CRLs when the CRL's issuer
1783 name and the CA's subject name differed in their string encoding (e.g.,
1784 one using PrintableString and the other UTF8String) or in the choice of
Hanno Beckerdc71ef82018-10-08 13:51:38 +01001785 upper and lower case. Reported by Henrik Andersson of Bosch GmbH in issue
Simon Butcherb35e59d2018-11-19 15:49:26 +00001786 #1784.
Hanno Beckerdc71ef82018-10-08 13:51:38 +01001787 * Fix a flawed bounds check in server PSK hint parsing. In case the
Simon Butcherb35e59d2018-11-19 15:49:26 +00001788 incoming message buffer was placed within the first 64KiB of address
1789 space and a PSK-(EC)DHE ciphersuite was used, this allowed an attacker
Janos Follathe0e7ddf2018-09-06 10:40:04 +01001790 to trigger a memory access up to 64KiB beyond the incoming message buffer,
1791 potentially leading to an application crash or information disclosure.
1792 * Fix mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() to use more rounds of probabilistic testing. The
1793 previous settings for the number of rounds made it practical for an
Simon Butcher681edee2018-11-07 16:25:38 +00001794 adversary to construct non-primes that would be erroneously accepted as
1795 primes with high probability. This does not have an impact on the
Janos Follathe0e7ddf2018-09-06 10:40:04 +01001796 security of TLS, but can matter in other contexts with numbers chosen
1797 potentially by an adversary that should be prime and can be validated.
1798 For example, the number of rounds was enough to securely generate RSA key
1799 pairs or Diffie-Hellman parameters, but was insufficient to validate
1800 Diffie-Hellman parameters properly.

Simon Butcherb35e59d2018-11-19 15:49:26 +00001804Features
1805 * Add support for temporarily suspending expensive ECC computations after
1806 some configurable amount of operations. This is intended to be used in
1807 constrained, single-threaded systems where ECC is time consuming and can
1808 block other operations until they complete. This is disabled by default,
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardf0bbd7e2018-10-15 13:22:41 +02001809 but can be enabled by MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE at compile time and
1810 configured by mbedtls_ecp_set_max_ops() at runtime. It applies to the new
1811 xxx_restartable functions in ECP, ECDSA, PK and X.509 (CRL not supported
1812 yet), and to existing functions in ECDH and SSL (currently only
Simon Butcher4a865ef2018-10-28 18:00:51 +00001813 implemented client-side, for ECDHE-ECDSA ciphersuites in TLS 1.2,
1814 including client authentication).
1815 * Add support for Arm CPU DSP extensions to accelerate asymmetric key
1816 operations. On CPUs where the extensions are available, they can accelerate
Simon Butcherb35e59d2018-11-19 15:49:26 +00001817 MPI multiplications used in ECC and RSA cryptography. Contributed by
1818 Aurelien Jarno.
1819 * Extend RSASSA-PSS signature to allow a smaller salt size. Previously, PSS
1820 signature always used a salt with the same length as the hash, and returned
1821 an error if this was not possible. Now the salt size may be up to two bytes
Simon Butcher06d80cf2018-11-06 23:46:04 +00001822 shorter. This allows the library to support all hash and signature sizes
1823 that comply with FIPS 186-4, including SHA-512 with a 1024-bit key.
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard823c9152018-07-02 12:05:49 +02001824 * Add support for 128-bit keys in CTR_DRBG. Note that using keys shorter
Simon Butchere51d4b32018-11-09 19:57:53 +00001825 than 256 bits limits the security of generated material to 128 bits.
Simon Butcher2ab14bb2018-11-09 20:09:33 +00001826

Simon Butcher2ab14bb2018-11-09 20:09:33 +00001837 platform error.
1838 * All module specific generic hardware acceleration errors following the
Janos Follathe0e7ddf2018-09-06 10:40:04 +01001839 form MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED that are deprecated and are replaced
1840 by the equivalent plaform error.
1841 * Deprecate the function mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() in favor of
Ron Eldor6aa9fb42018-10-04 14:32:05 +03001842 mbedtls_mpi_is_prime_ext() which allows specifying the number of

1849 Fixes #2069.
Simon Butcher1afc7672018-09-27 11:35:19 +01001850 * Fix a bug in the update function for SSL ticket keys which previously
1851 invalidated keys of a lifetime of less than a 1s. Fixes #1968.
Hanno Beckerf24c3362018-10-17 14:53:05 +01001852 * Fix failure in hmac_drbg in the benchmark sample application, when
1853 MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is defined. Found by TrinityTonic, #1095
1854 * Fix a bug in the record decryption routine ssl_decrypt_buf()
Hanno Becker617a3212018-10-05 09:51:36 +01001855 which lead to accepting properly authenticated but improperly
1856 padded records in case of CBC ciphersuites using Encrypt-then-MAC.
Simon Butcher681edee2018-11-07 16:25:38 +00001857 * Fix memory leak and freeing without initialization in the example
1858 program programs/x509/cert_write. Fixes #1422.
Hanno Becker7e1f3be2018-10-15 13:20:28 +01001859 * Ignore IV in mbedtls_cipher_set_iv() when the cipher mode is
1860 MBEDTLS_MODE_ECB. Found by ezdevelop. Fixes #1091.
1861 * Zeroize memory used for buffering or reassembling handshake messages
1862 after use.
Hanno Beckerf143a782018-11-06 17:43:16 +00001863 * Use `mbedtls_platform_zeroize()` instead of `memset()` for zeroization
1864 of sensitive data in the example programs aescrypt2 and crypt_and_hash.
1865 * Change the default string format used for various X.509 DN attributes to
Simon Butcher681edee2018-11-07 16:25:38 +00001866 UTF8String. Previously, the use of the PrintableString format led to
1867 wildcards and non-ASCII characters being unusable in some DN attributes.

1877 * Add tests for session resumption in DTLS.
1878 * Close a test gap in (D)TLS between the client side and the server side:
Simon Butcherddc9e262018-10-27 18:27:41 +01001879 test the handling of large packets and small packets on the client side
1880 in the same way as on the server side.
Simon Butcher404aa652018-10-01 14:44:22 +01001881 * Change the dtls_client and dtls_server samples to work by default over
1882 IPv6 and optionally by a build option over IPv4.
1883 * Change the use of Windows threading to use Microsoft Visual C++ runtime
Simon Butcher681edee2018-11-07 16:25:38 +00001884 calls, rather than Win32 API calls directly. This is necessary to avoid
1885 conflict with C runtime usage. Found and fixed by irwir.
1886 * Remember the string format of X.509 DN attributes when replicating
1887 X.509 DNs. Previously, DN attributes were always written in their default
1888 string format (mostly PrintableString), which could lead to CRTs being
1889 created which used PrintableStrings in the issuer field even though the
1890 signing CA used UTF8Strings in its subject field; while X.509 compliant,
1891 such CRTs were rejected in some applications, e.g. some versions of
Hanno Becker0bb204c2018-10-30 10:08:33 +00001892 Firefox, curl and GnuTLS. Reported in #1033 by Moschn. Fix contributed by

1896 * Add MBEDTLS_MPI_GEN_PRIME_FLAG_LOW_ERR flag to mbedtls_mpi_gen_prime() and
Simon Butcherc86993e2018-09-27 09:48:54 +01001897 use it to reduce error probability in RSA key generation to levels mandated

1984 * Fix a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based on CBC and using SHA-384,
1985 in (D)TLS 1.0 to 1.2, that allowed an active network attacker to
1986 partially recover the plaintext of messages under some conditions by
1987 exploiting timing measurements. With DTLS, the attacker could perform
1988 this recovery by sending many messages in the same connection. With TLS
1989 or if mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only
1990 worked if the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly
1991 sent over connections manipulated by the attacker. Connections using GCM
1992 or CCM instead of CBC, using hash sizes other than SHA-384, or using
1993 Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected. The vulnerability was
1994 caused by a miscalculation (for SHA-384) in a countermeasure to the
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard1cc1fb02018-06-28 12:10:27 +02001995 original Lucky 13 attack. Found by Kenny Paterson, Eyal Ronen and Adi

Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard830ce112018-07-11 18:27:08 +02002000 plaintext of messages under some conditions by using a cache attack
2001 targeting an internal MD/SHA buffer. With TLS or if
2002 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only worked if
2003 the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly sent over

Gilles Peskine557e77d2018-04-04 09:18:11 +02002171 a check for whether more more data is pending to be processed in the
2172 internal message buffers.
Hanno Becker371f31c2017-06-07 15:56:54 +01002173 This function is necessary to determine when it is safe to idle on the
Andres AGee7157e2016-12-07 10:25:19 +00002174 underlying transport in case event-driven IO is used.

2178 contributed by Brian J Murray and David Brown.
2179 * Add missing dependencies in test suites that led to build failures
Jaeden Amerob6049602018-03-26 18:25:58 +01002180 in configurations that omit certain hashes or public-key algorithms.
2181 Fixes #1040.

Jethro Beekmand2df9362018-02-16 13:11:04 -08002187 * Fix the Makefile build process for building shared libraries on Mac OS X.
Simon Butcherb03120a2018-04-30 16:40:25 +01002188 Fixed by mnacamura.
Jethro Beekmancb122372018-04-11 08:40:38 -07002189 * Fix parsing of PKCS#8 encoded Elliptic Curve keys. Previously Mbed TLS was
Simon Butcherb03120a2018-04-30 16:40:25 +01002190 unable to parse keys which had only the optional parameters field of the
2191 ECPrivateKey structure. Found by Jethro Beekman, fixed in #1379.
2192 * Return the plaintext data more quickly on unpadded CBC decryption, as
Gilles Peskineb9e86962018-04-04 09:20:59 +02002193 stated in the mbedtls_cipher_update() documentation. Contributed by
2194 Andy Leiserson.
Hanno Beckerc53826b2017-10-12 07:46:41 +01002195 * Fix overriding and ignoring return values when parsing and writing to
2196 a file in pk_sign program. Found by kevlut in #1142.
2197 * Restrict usage of error code MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_READ to situations
2198 where data needs to be fetched from the underlying transport in order
2199 to make progress. Previously, this error code was also occasionally
Simon Butcherb03120a2018-04-30 16:40:25 +01002200 returned when unexpected messages were being discarded, ignoring that
2201 further messages could potentially already be pending to be processed
Gilles Peskinef2b76cd2018-04-19 17:41:39 +02002202 in the internal buffers; these cases led to deadlocks when event-driven
2203 I/O was used. Found and reported by Hubert Mis in #772.
2204 * Fix buffer length assertions in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
Andrzej Kurek5462e022018-04-20 07:58:53 -04002205 function which leads to a potential one byte overread of the message
2206 buffer.
Simon Butchere6a2a1a2018-05-01 13:57:53 +01002207 * Fix invalid buffer sizes passed to zlib during record compression and
2208 decompression.
2209 * Fix the soversion of libmbedcrypto to match the soversion of the
2210 maintained 2.7 branch. The soversion was increased in Mbed TLS
Gilles Peskine08185402018-03-22 21:50:48 +01002211 version 2.7.1 to reflect breaking changes in that release, but the
Gilles Peskine5bdb6712018-03-22 21:34:15 +01002212 increment was missed in 2.8.0 and later releases outside of the 2.7 branch.

Gilles Peskine51d93942018-03-23 01:42:44 +01002216 * Support cmake builds where Mbed TLS is a subproject. Fix contributed
2217 independently by Matthieu Volat and Arne Schwabe.
2218 * Improve testing in configurations that omit certain hashes or
Andres Amaya Garcia768bbaf2018-03-21 15:05:12 +00002219 public-key algorithms. Includes contributions by Gert van Dijk.
2220 * Improve negative testing of X.509 parsing.
2221 * Do not define global mutexes around readdir() and gmtime() in
Simon Butcherb03120a2018-04-30 16:40:25 +01002222 configurations where the feature is disabled. Found and fixed by Gergely
2223 Budai.
2224 * Harden the function mbedtls_ssl_config_free() against misuse, so that it
2225 doesn't leak memory if the user doesn't use mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk() and
Andres Amaya Garciacb47a792018-03-27 21:19:50 +01002226 instead incorrectly manipulates the configuration structure directly.
2227 Found and fix submitted by junyeonLEE in #1220.
2228 * Provide an empty implementation of mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() when
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardfff308e2018-03-28 11:13:05 +02002229 MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C is not enabled. This allows the use of PBKDF2
2230 without PBES2. Fixed by Marcos Del Sol Vives.
2231 * Add the order of the base point as N in the mbedtls_ecp_group structure
Jaeden Amero4ba87fc2018-03-29 11:01:38 +01002232 for Curve25519 (other curves had it already). Contributed by Nicholas

Darryl Greeneea1c4e2018-03-29 16:05:44 +01002234 * Improve the documentation of mbedtls_net_accept(). Contributed by Ivan
2235 Krylov.
Simon Butcherb03120a2018-04-30 16:40:25 +01002236 * Improve the documentation of mbedtls_ssl_write(). Suggested by
Andres Amaya Garciad1b17882018-03-27 19:14:24 +01002237 Paul Sokolovsky in #1356.
2238 * Add an option in the Makefile to support ar utilities where the operation
Andres Amaya Garciaea5a8a42018-03-25 23:57:09 +01002239 letter must not be prefixed by '-', such as LLVM. Found and fixed by

Gilles Peskine4e4be7c2018-03-21 16:29:03 +01002241 * Allow configuring the shared library extension by setting the DLEXT
Gilles Peskine092bf3d2018-04-01 12:43:48 +02002242 environment variable when using the project makefiles.
Gilles Peskinea09453f2018-04-04 09:14:12 +02002243 * Optimize unnecessary zeroing in mbedtls_mpi_copy. Based on a contribution
2244 by Alexey Skalozub in #405.
2245 * In the SSL module, when f_send, f_recv or f_recv_timeout report
Gilles Peskinec96ccf42018-03-31 22:57:03 +02002246 transmitting more than the required length, return an error. Raised by
2247 Sam O'Connor in #1245.
2248 * Improve robustness of mbedtls_ssl_derive_keys against the use of
Simon Butcherb03120a2018-04-30 16:40:25 +01002249 HMAC functions with non-HMAC ciphersuites. Independently contributed
2250 by Jiayuan Chen in #1377. Fixes #1437.
Gilles Peskine81021ca2018-04-19 20:59:06 +02002251 * Improve security of RSA key generation by including criteria from
2252 FIPS 186-4. Contributed by Jethro Beekman. #1380
2253 * Declare functions in header files even when an alternative implementation
2254 of the corresponding module is activated by defining the corresponding
2255 MBEDTLS_XXX_ALT macro. This means that alternative implementations do
Andrzej Kurekaca09c72018-04-13 05:18:08 -04002256 not need to copy the declarations, and ensures that they will have the
Gilles Peskine5bdb6712018-03-22 21:34:15 +01002257 same API.
Jaeden Amero8be0e6d2018-03-16 16:25:12 +00002258 * Add platform setup and teardown calls in test suites.

2262Default behavior changes
2263 * The truncated HMAC extension now conforms to RFC 6066. This means
2264 that when both sides of a TLS connection negotiate the truncated
2265 HMAC extension, Mbed TLS can now interoperate with other
2266 compliant implementations, but this breaks interoperability with
2267 prior versions of Mbed TLS. To restore the old behavior, enable
2268 the (deprecated) option MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC_COMPAT in
2269 config.h. Found by Andreas Walz (ivESK, Offenburg University of

2288 algorithms family when encrypting private keys using PKCS#5 v2.0.
2289 This allows reading encrypted PEM files produced by software that
Gilles Peskine3dabd6a2018-02-14 17:19:41 +01002290 uses PBKDF2-SHA2, such as OpenSSL 1.1. Submitted by Antonio Quartulli,

2343Security
2344 * Fix a heap corruption issue in the implementation of the truncated HMAC
2345 extension. When the truncated HMAC extension is enabled and CBC is used,
2346 sending a malicious application packet could be used to selectively corrupt
2347 6 bytes on the peer's heap, which could potentially lead to crash or remote
2348 code execution. The issue could be triggered remotely from either side in
2349 both TLS and DTLS. CVE-2018-0488
2350 * Fix a buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the hash was too large
2351 for the key size, which could potentially lead to crash or remote code
2352 execution. Found by Seth Terashima, Qualcomm Product Security Initiative,
2353 Qualcomm Technologies Inc. CVE-2018-0487
2354 * Fix buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the unmasked data is all
2355 zeros.
2356 * Fix an unsafe bounds check in ssl_parse_client_psk_identity() when adding
Hanno Becker930025d2017-09-18 16:07:19 +01002357 64 KiB to the address of the SSL buffer and causing a wrap around.
2358 * Fix a potential heap buffer overflow in mbedtls_ssl_write(). When the (by
2359 default enabled) maximum fragment length extension is disabled in the
2360 config and the application data buffer passed to mbedtls_ssl_write
2361 is larger than the internal message buffer (16384 bytes by default), the
2362 latter overflows. The exploitability of this issue depends on whether the
Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00002363 application layer can be forced into sending such large packets. The issue
2364 was independently reported by Tim Nordell via e-mail and by Florin Petriuc
2365 and sjorsdewit on GitHub. Fix proposed by Florin Petriuc in #1022.
2366 Fixes #707.
Andres Amaya Garcia364051f2017-07-05 15:40:17 +01002367 * Add a provision to prevent compiler optimizations breaking the time

Ron Eldor31162e42017-09-05 15:34:35 +03002369 * Ensure that buffers are cleared after use if they contain sensitive data.
2370 Changes were introduced in multiple places in the library.
Janos Follathb174c842017-09-20 16:26:04 +01002371 * Set PEM buffer to zero before freeing it, to avoid decoded private keys
2372 being leaked to memory after release.
Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00002373 * Fix dhm_check_range() failing to detect trivial subgroups and potentially
2374 leaking 1 bit of the private key. Reported by prashantkspatil.
2375 * Make mbedtls_mpi_read_binary() constant-time with respect to the input
2376 data. Previously, trailing zero bytes were detected and omitted for the
Hanno Becker509fef72017-10-19 10:10:18 +01002377 sake of saving memory, but potentially leading to slight timing
2378 differences. Reported by Marco Macchetti, Kudelski Group.
Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00002379 * Wipe stack buffer temporarily holding EC private exponent
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard239987f2018-01-09 10:43:43 +01002380 after keypair generation.
2381 * Fix a potential heap buffer over-read in ALPN extension parsing
Hanno Becker0cd5b942017-10-13 17:17:28 +01002382 (server-side). Could result in application crash, but only if an ALPN
2383 name larger than 16 bytes had been configured on the server.

Ron Eldor8b766212017-09-24 15:44:56 +03002405 new configuration flags MBEDTLS_ECDH_COMPUTE_SHARED_ALT and
2406 MBEDTLS_ECDH_GEN_PUBLIC_ALT in config.h.
2407 The following functions from the ECDH module can be replaced
Hanno Becker087d5ad2018-01-24 16:06:25 +00002408 with an alternative implementation:
2409 mbedtls_ecdh_gen_public() and mbedtls_ecdh_compute_shared().
Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00002410 * Add support for alternative implementation of ECJPAKE, controlled by
Gilles Peskine26182ed2017-09-29 15:45:12 +02002411 the new configuration flag MBEDTLS_ECJPAKE_ALT.
Hanno Beckera47023e2017-12-22 17:08:03 +00002412 * Add mechanism to provide alternative implementation of the DHM module.
2413
2414API Changes
Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00002415 * Extend RSA interface by multiple functions allowing structure-
Hanno Beckera47023e2017-12-22 17:08:03 +00002416 independent setup and export of RSA contexts. Most notably,
2417 mbedtls_rsa_import() and mbedtls_rsa_complete() are introduced for setting
2418 up RSA contexts from partial key material and having them completed to the
2419 needs of the implementation automatically. This allows to setup private RSA
2420 contexts from keys consisting of N,D,E only, even if P,Q are needed for the
2421 purpose or CRT and/or blinding.
Gilles Peskine0a969102018-01-22 14:55:20 +01002422 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_RSA_ALT can be used to define alternative
2423 implementations of the RSA interface declared in rsa.h.
2424 * The following functions in the message digest modules (MD2, MD4, MD5,
2425 SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) have been deprecated and replaced as shown below.
2426 The new functions change the return type from void to int to allow
2427 returning error codes when using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT.
2428 mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts_ret()
Andres Amaya Garciaf01a6442017-07-03 16:00:59 +01002429 mbedtls_<MODULE>_update() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_update_ret()
Gilles Peskineb04e2c32017-09-29 15:45:12 +02002430 mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish_ret()
Ron Eldor73a38172017-10-03 15:58:26 +03002431 mbedtls_<MODULE>_process() -> mbedtls_internal_<MODULE>_process()
2432
Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00002433New deprecations
Andres Amaya Garciaf569f702017-06-28 09:25:10 +01002434 * Deprecate usage of RSA primitives with non-matching key-type
2435 (e.g. signing with a public key).
Jaeden Amero005239e2018-01-25 14:47:39 +00002436 * Direct manipulation of structure fields of RSA contexts is deprecated.
2437 Users are advised to use the extended RSA API instead.
2438 * Deprecate usage of message digest functions that return void
2439 (mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts, mbedtls_<MODULE>_update,
2440 mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish and mbedtls_<MODULE>_process where <MODULE> is
Hanno Becker0cd5b942017-10-13 17:17:28 +01002441 any of MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) in favor of functions
2442 that can return an error code.
2443 * Deprecate untrustworthy DHE parameters from RFC 5114. Superseded by
2444 parameters from RFC 3526 or the newly added parameters from RFC 7919.
2445 * Deprecate hex string DHE constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P etc.
Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00002446 Supserseded by binary encoded constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P_BIN
2447 etc.
Hanno Becker0cd5b942017-10-13 17:17:28 +01002448 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param() for setting default DHE parameters
Andres Amaya Garcia06fc6652017-06-26 15:19:26 +01002449 from hex strings. Superseded by mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param_bin()
Andres Amaya Garcia06fc6652017-06-26 15:19:26 +01002450 accepting DHM parameters in binary form, matching the new constants.
2451
2452Bugfix

2623 * Fixed unlimited overread of heap-based buffer in mbedtls_ssl_read().
2624 The issue could only happen client-side with renegotiation enabled.
2625 Could result in DoS (application crash) or information leak
Gilles Peskine5d2511c2017-05-12 13:16:40 +02002626 (if the application layer sent data read from mbedtls_ssl_read()
2627 back to the server or to a third party). Can be triggered remotely.
2628 * Removed SHA-1 and RIPEMD-160 from the default hash algorithms for
Gilles Peskined50177f2017-05-16 17:53:03 +02002629 certificate verification. SHA-1 can be turned back on with a compile-time
2630 option if needed.
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardc1380de2017-05-11 12:49:51 +02002631 * Fixed offset in FALLBACK_SCSV parsing that caused TLS server to fail to
2632 detect it sometimes. Reported by Hugo Leisink. #810
Gilles Peskine5e79cb32017-05-04 16:17:21 +02002633 * Tighten parsing of RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures, to avoid a

2636Bugfix
2637 * Remove size zero arrays from ECJPAKE test suite. Size zero arrays are not
Hanno Becker7e5437a2017-04-28 17:15:26 +01002638 valid C and they prevented the test from compiling in Visual Studio 2015
2639 and with GCC using the -Wpedantic compilation option.
Janos Follath5a1c0e72017-06-16 09:00:07 +01002640 * Fix insufficient support for signature-hash-algorithm extension,
2641 resulting in compatibility problems with Chrome. Found by hfloyrd. #823
Gilles Peskine3df98f52017-05-10 17:47:40 +02002642 * Fix behaviour that hid the original cause of fatal alerts in some cases
Janos Follath5a1c0e72017-06-16 09:00:07 +01002643 when sending the alert failed. The fix makes sure not to hide the error
2644 that triggered the alert.
2645 * Fix SSLv3 renegotiation behaviour and stop processing data received from
2646 peer after sending a fatal alert to refuse a renegotiation attempt.
Hanno Becker39ae8cd2017-05-08 16:31:14 +01002647 Previous behaviour was to keep processing data even after the alert has

Janos Follath5a1c0e72017-06-16 09:00:07 +01002649 * Accept empty trusted CA chain in authentication mode
2650 MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL. Found by Jethro Beekman. #864
2651 * Fix implementation of mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate() to not annihilate
2652 fatal errors in authentication mode MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL and to
2653 reflect bad EC curves within verification result.
2654 * Fix bug that caused the modular inversion function to accept the invalid
2655 modulus 1 and therefore to hang. Found by blaufish. #641.

Janos Follath5a1c0e72017-06-16 09:00:07 +01002664 sending the fatal alert and just drop the connection.
Janos Follath0a5154b2017-03-10 11:31:41 +00002665 * Clarify ECDSA documentation and improve the sample code to avoid

2847Changes
2848 * Extended test coverage of special cases, and added new timing test suite.
2849 * Removed self-tests from the basic-built-test.sh script, and added all
2850 missing self-tests to the test suites, to ensure self-tests are only
2851 executed once.

2856 features. Contributed by Aviv Palivoda.
2857 * Renamed source file library/net.c to library/net_sockets.c to avoid
2858 naming collision in projects which also have files with the common name
Simon Butcher59bffa22016-10-13 15:55:56 +01002859 net.c. For consistency, the corresponding header file, net.h, is marked as
2860 deprecated, and its contents moved to net_sockets.h.

Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardf4acfe12014-09-17 10:56:54 +02003115 * New server-side implementation of session tickets that rotate keys to
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnarda25ffc32015-06-25 12:01:16 +02003116 preserve forward secrecy, and allows sharing across multiple contexts.
3117 * Added a concept of X.509 cerificate verification profile that controls
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardd54e6172015-04-28 17:56:12 +02003118 which algorithms and key sizes (curves for ECDSA) are acceptable.
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard6e088f92015-05-06 17:53:08 +01003119 * Expanded configurability of security parameters in the SSL module with

3124API Changes
3125 * The library has been split into libmbedcrypto, libmbedx509, libmbedtls.
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardd54e6172015-04-28 17:56:12 +02003126 You now need to link to all of them if you use TLS for example.
Antonin Décimo36e89b52019-01-23 15:24:37 +01003127 * All public identifiers moved to the mbedtls_* or MBEDTLS_* namespace.
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardf4acfe12014-09-17 10:56:54 +02003128 Some names have been further changed to make them more consistent.
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnarde6bdc442014-09-17 11:34:57 +02003129 Migration helpers scripts/rename.pl and include/mbedtls/compat-1.3.h are
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard6963ff02015-04-28 18:02:54 +02003130 provided. Full list of renamings in scripts/data_files/rename-1.3-2.0.txt
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard2f84e972015-05-11 09:52:24 +02003131 * Renamings of fields inside structures, not covered by the previous list:
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard06939ce2015-05-11 11:25:46 +02003132 mbedtls_cipher_info_t.key_length -> key_bitlen
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard41d479e2015-04-29 00:48:22 +02003133 mbedtls_cipher_context_t.key_length -> key_bitlen
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard6963ff02015-04-28 18:02:54 +02003134 mbedtls_ecp_curve_info.size -> bit_size

Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard2f84e972015-05-11 09:52:24 +02003136 * The following _init() functions that could return errors have
3137 been split into an _init() that returns void and another function that
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard06939ce2015-05-11 11:25:46 +02003138 should generally be the first function called on this context after init:
3139 mbedtls_ssl_init() -> mbedtls_ssl_setup()
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard96936682015-06-02 15:14:15 +01003140 mbedtls_ccm_init() -> mbedtls_ccm_setkey()
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardcaace652015-05-11 09:57:11 +02003141 mbedtls_gcm_init() -> mbedtls_gcm_setkey()
Tillmann Karras588ad502015-09-25 04:27:22 +02003142 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_init() -> mbedtls_hmac_drbg_seed(_buf)()
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardcaace652015-05-11 09:57:11 +02003143 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_init() -> mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed()
3144 Note that for mbedtls_ssl_setup(), you need to be done setting up the
3145 ssl_config structure before calling it.
3146 * Most ssl_set_xxx() functions (all except ssl_set_bio(), ssl_set_hostname(),
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard9a1a4d62015-05-11 10:35:53 +02003147 ssl_set_session() and ssl_set_client_transport_id(), plus
3148 ssl_legacy_renegotiation()) have been renamed to mbedtls_ssl_conf_xxx()
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard96936682015-06-02 15:14:15 +01003149 (see rename.pl and compat-1.3.h above) and their first argument's type
3150 changed from ssl_context to ssl_config.
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard9a1a4d62015-05-11 10:35:53 +02003151 * ssl_set_bio() changed signature (contexts merged, order switched, one
3152 additional callback for read-with-timeout).
3153 * The following functions have been introduced and must be used in callback
3154 implementations (SNI, PSK) instead of their *conf counterparts:
3155 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_own_cert()
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardcaace652015-05-11 09:57:11 +02003156 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_ca_chain()
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardbc2b7712015-05-06 11:14:19 +01003157 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk()
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard01e5e8c2015-05-11 10:11:56 +02003158 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_ca_chain() lost its last argument (peer_cn), now set
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard5cb33082015-05-06 18:06:26 +01003159 using mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname().
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard866eb472015-05-25 19:41:37 +02003160 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_cache() changed prototype (only one context
3161 pointer, parameters reordered).
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardfd474232015-06-23 16:34:24 +02003162 * On server, mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets_cb() must now be used in
3163 place of mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets() to enable session tickets.
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard01e5e8c2015-05-11 10:11:56 +02003164 * The SSL debug callback gained two new arguments (file name, line number).
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard96936682015-06-02 15:14:15 +01003165 * Debug modes were removed.
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnarde6ef16f2015-05-11 19:54:43 +02003166 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_truncated_hmac() now returns void.
3167 * mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_init() now returns void.
3168 * X.509 verification flags are now an uint32_t. Affect the signature of:
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard96936682015-06-02 15:14:15 +01003169 mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result()
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnarde6ef16f2015-05-11 19:54:43 +02003170 mbedtls_x509_ctr_verify_info()
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardbc6ff232015-06-02 16:33:08 +01003171 mbedtls_x509_crt_verify() (flags, f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
3172 mbedtls_ssl_conf_verify() (f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
3173 * The following functions changed prototype to avoid an in-out length
3174 parameter:
3175 mbedtls_base64_encode()
3176 mbedtls_base64_decode()
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard91895852015-06-30 13:34:45 +02003177 mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
3178 mbedtls_dhm_calc_secret()
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard0b104b02015-05-14 21:52:40 +02003179 * In the NET module, all "int" and "int *" arguments for file descriptors
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard8f5fd312015-04-24 14:42:34 +02003180 changed type to "mbedtls_net_context *".
3181 * net_accept() gained new arguments for the size of the client_ip buffer.
Antonin Décimo36e89b52019-01-23 15:24:37 +01003182 * In the threading layer, mbedtls_mutex_init() and mbedtls_mutex_free() now
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnarddfdcac92015-03-31 11:41:42 +02003183 return void.
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardb8cfe3f2015-03-31 11:04:45 +02003184 * ecdsa_write_signature() gained an additional md_alg argument and

3188 mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_key_usage() changed from int to unsigned.
3189 * test_ca_list (from certs.h) is renamed to test_cas_pem and is only
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard75f90102015-03-27 09:56:18 +01003190 available if POLARSSL_PEM_PARSE_C is defined (it never worked without).
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard43b37cb2015-05-12 11:20:10 +02003191 * Test certificates in certs.c are no longer guaranteed to be nul-terminated
3192 strings; use the new *_len variables instead of strlen().
3193 * Functions mbedtls_x509_xxx_parse(), mbedtls_pk_parse_key(),
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard35f1d7f2015-03-19 12:42:40 +00003194 mbedtls_pk_parse_public_key() and mbedtls_dhm_parse_dhm() now expect the
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard5b9e5b12015-05-26 17:46:09 +02003195 length parameter to include the terminating null byte for PEM input.
3196 * Signature of mpi_mul_mpi() changed to make the last argument unsigned
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard1b8de572015-05-27 16:49:37 +02003197 * calloc() is now used instead of malloc() everywhere. API of platform

3199 (Thanks to Mansour Moufid for helping with the replacement.)
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard60c793b2015-06-18 20:52:58 +02003200 * Change SSL_DISABLE_RENEGOTIATION config.h flag to SSL_RENEGOTIATION
3201 (support for renegotiation now needs explicit enabling in config.h).
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardf4acfe12014-09-17 10:56:54 +02003202 * Split MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME into MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME and MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE

3212 mbedtls_ecp_muladd().
3213 * Removed individual mdX_hmac, shaX_hmac, mdX_file and shaX_file functions
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnarda63bc942015-05-14 18:22:47 +02003214 (use generic functions from md.h)
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard53585ee2015-06-25 08:52:25 +02003215 * Removed mbedtls_timing_msleep(). Use mbedtls_net_usleep() or a custom

3222 * Configuration options POLARSSL_HAVE_LONGLONG was removed (now always on).
3223 * Configuration options POLARSSL_HAVE_INT8 and POLARSSL_HAVE_INT16 have
3224 been removed (compiler is required to support 32-bit operations).
3225 * Configuration option POLARSSL_HAVE_IPV6 was removed (always enabled).
3226 * Removed test program o_p_test, the script compat.sh does more.
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard1022fed2015-03-27 16:30:47 +01003227 * Removed test program ssl_test, superseded by ssl-opt.sh.

Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardf4acfe12014-09-17 10:56:54 +02003231 * md_init_ctx() is deprecated in favour of md_setup(), that adds a third
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard1022fed2015-03-27 16:30:47 +01003232 argument (allowing memory savings if HMAC is not used)
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard50518f42015-05-26 11:04:15 +02003233
3234Semi-API changes (technically public, morally private)
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardc89d6cf2015-03-31 14:43:19 +02003235 * Renamed a few headers to include _internal in the name. Those headers are
3236 not supposed to be included by users.
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard50518f42015-05-26 11:04:15 +02003237 * Changed md_info_t into an opaque structure (use md_get_xxx() accessors).

Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard8c8be1e2015-03-31 14:21:11 +02003244
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard606df8c2015-03-27 17:13:17 +01003245Default behavior changes
3246 * The default minimum TLS version is now TLS 1.0.
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard88bdb0b2015-03-10 14:02:33 +00003247 * RC4 is now blacklisted by default in the SSL/TLS layer, and excluded from the
3248 default ciphersuite list returned by ssl_list_ciphersuites()
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardfa44f202015-03-27 17:52:25 +01003249 * Support for receiving SSLv2 ClientHello is now disabled by default at

3251 * The default authmode for SSL/TLS clients is now REQUIRED.
3252 * Support for RSA_ALT contexts in the PK layer is now optional. Since is is
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard1028b742015-05-06 17:33:07 +01003253 enabled in the default configuration, this is only noticeable if using a
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard88d37852015-06-17 14:26:49 +02003254 custom config.h

4451 argument and do not accept variable argument lists anymore.
Paul Bakkera35aa542013-03-06 17:06:21 +01004452 * The error codes have been remapped and combining error codes
Paul Bakker831a7552011-05-18 13:32:51 +00004453 is now done with a PLUS instead of an OR as error codes
4454 used are negative.
Paul Bakkera35aa542013-03-06 17:06:21 +01004455 * Changed behaviour of net_read(), ssl_fetch_input() and ssl_recv().
4456 net_recv() now returns 0 on EOF instead of
4457 POLARSSL_ERR_NET_CONN_RESET. ssl_fetch_input() returns
4458 POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_CONN_EOF on an EOF from its f_recv() function.
Paul Bakker831a7552011-05-18 13:32:51 +00004459 ssl_read() returns 0 if a POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_CONN_EOF is received
4460 after the handshake.

Paul Bakkera35aa542013-03-06 17:06:21 +01004477 * x509parse_key() (and as a consequence x509parse_keyfile())
Paul Bakkerbe4e7dc2011-03-14 20:41:31 +00004478 does not zeroize memory in advance anymore. Use rsa_init()
4479 before parsing a key or keyfile!
