2
Minos Galanakis4492dbd2024-03-21 15:52:49 +00003= Mbed TLS 3.6.0 branch released 2024-03-28
Minos Galanakis2c1daef2024-03-21 15:46:39 +00004
5API changes
6 * Remove `tls13_` in mbedtls_ssl_tls13_conf_early_data() and
7 mbedtls_ssl_tls13_conf_max_early_data_size() API names. Early data
8 feature may not be TLS 1.3 specific in the future. Fixes #6909.
9
10Default behavior changes
11 * psa_import_key() now only accepts RSA keys in the PSA standard formats.
12 The undocumented ability to import other formats (PKCS#8, SubjectPublicKey,
13 PEM) accepted by the pkparse module has been removed. Applications that
14 need these formats can call mbedtls_pk_parse_{public,}key() followed by
15 mbedtls_pk_import_into_psa().
16
17Requirement changes
18 * Drop support for Visual Studio 2013 and 2015, and Arm Compiler 5.
19
20New deprecations
Minos Galanakis8d94aec2024-03-22 16:00:18 +000021 * Rename the MBEDTLS_SHA256_USE_A64_CRYPTO_xxx config options to
22 MBEDTLS_SHA256_USE_ARMV8_A_CRYPTO_xxx. The old names may still
23 be used, but are deprecated.
Minos Galanakis2c1daef2024-03-21 15:46:39 +000024 * In the PSA API, domain parameters are no longer used for anything.
25 They are deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the
26 library.
27 * mbedtls_ecp_write_key() is deprecated in favor of
28 mbedtls_ecp_write_key_ext().
29
30Removals
31 * In the PSA API, the experimental way to encode the public exponent of
32 an RSA key as a domain parameter is no longer supported. Use
33 psa_generate_key_ext() instead.
34 * Temporary function mbedtls_pk_wrap_as_opaque() is removed. To mimic the
35 same behavior mbedtls_pk_get_psa_attributes() and
36 mbedtls_pk_import_into_psa() can be used to import a PK key into PSA,
37 while mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque() can be used to wrap a PSA key into a opaque
38 PK context.
39
40Features
41 * Added an example program showing how to hash with the PSA API.
Minos Galanakis8d94aec2024-03-22 16:00:18 +000042 * Support Armv8-A Crypto Extension acceleration for SHA-256
43 when compiling for Thumb (T32) or 32-bit Arm (A32).
44 * AES-NI is now supported in Windows builds with clang and clang-cl.
45 Resolves #8372.
Minos Galanakis2c1daef2024-03-21 15:46:39 +000046 * Add new mbedtls_x509_csr_parse_der_with_ext_cb() routine which allows
47 parsing unsupported certificate extensions via user provided callback.
48 * Enable the new option MBEDTLS_BLOCK_CIPHER_NO_DECRYPT to omit
49 the decryption direction of block ciphers (AES, ARIA, Camellia).
50 This affects both the low-level modules and the high-level APIs
51 (the cipher and PSA interfaces). This option is incompatible with modes
52 that use the decryption direction (ECB in PSA, CBC, XTS, KW) and with DES.
53 * Support use of Armv8-A Cryptographic Extensions for hardware acclerated
54 AES when compiling for Thumb (T32) or 32-bit Arm (A32).
55 * If a cipher or AEAD mechanism has a PSA driver, you can now build the
56 library without the corresponding built-in implementation. Generally
57 speaking that requires both the key type and algorithm to be accelerated
58 or they'll both be built in. However, for CCM and GCM the built-in
59 implementation is able to take advantage of a driver that only
60 accelerates the key type (that is, the block cipher primitive). See
61 docs/driver-only-builds.md for full details and current limitations.
62 * The CTR_DRBG module will now use AES from a PSA driver if MBEDTLS_AES_C is
63 disabled. This requires PSA_WANT_ALG_ECB_NO_PADDING in addition to
64 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C and PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_AES.
65 * Fewer modules depend on MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C, making it possible to save code
66 size by disabling it in more circumstances. In particular, the CCM and
67 GCM modules no longer depend on MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C. Also,
68 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO can now be enabled without MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C if all
69 unauthenticated (non-AEAD) ciphers are disabled, or if they're all
70 fully provided by drivers. See docs/driver-only-builds.md for full
71 details and current limitations; in particular, NIST_KW and PKCS5/PKCS12
72 decryption still unconditionally depend on MBEDTLS_CIPHER_C.
73 * Add support for record size limit extension as defined by RFC 8449
74 and configured with MBEDTLS_SSL_RECORD_SIZE_LIMIT.
75 Application data sent and received will be fragmented according to
76 Record size limits negotiated during handshake.
77 * Improve performance of AES-GCM, AES-CTR and CTR-DRBG when
78 hardware accelerated AES is not present (around 13-23% on 64-bit Arm).
79 * Add functions mbedtls_ecc_group_to_psa() and mbedtls_ecc_group_from_psa()
80 to convert between Mbed TLS and PSA curve identifiers.
81 * Add utility functions to manipulate mbedtls_ecp_keypair objects, filling
82 gaps made by making its fields private: mbedtls_ecp_set_public_key(),
83 mbedtls_ecp_write_public_key(), mbedtls_ecp_keypair_calc_public(),
84 mbedtls_ecp_keypair_get_group_id(). Fixes #5017, #5441, #8367, #8652.
85 * Add functions mbedtls_md_psa_alg_from_type() and
86 mbedtls_md_type_from_psa_alg() to convert between mbedtls_md_type_t and
87 psa_algorithm_t.
88 * Add partial platform support for z/OS.
89 * Improve performance for gcc (versions older than 9.3.0) and IAR.
90 * Add functions mbedtls_ecdsa_raw_to_der() and mbedtls_ecdsa_der_to_raw() to
91 convert ECDSA signatures between raw and DER (ASN.1) formats.
92 * Add support for using AES-CBC 128, 192, and 256 bit schemes
93 with PKCS#5 PBES2. Keys encrypted this way can now be parsed by PK parse.
94 * The new function mbedtls_rsa_get_bitlen() returns the length of the modulus
95 in bits, i.e. the key size for an RSA key.
96 * Add pc files for pkg-config, e.g.:
97 pkg-config --cflags --libs (mbedtls|mbedcrypto|mbedx509)
98 * Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_session_get_ticket_creation_time()) to access
99 `mbedtls_ssl_session.ticket_creation_time`.
100 * The new functions mbedtls_pk_get_psa_attributes() and
101 mbedtls_pk_import_into_psa() provide a uniform way to create a PSA
102 key from a PK key.
103 * The benchmark program now reports times for both ephemeral and static
104 ECDH in all ECDH configurations.
Minos Galanakis8d94aec2024-03-22 16:00:18 +0000105 * Add support for 8-bit GCM tables for Shoup's algorithm to speedup GCM
106 operations when hardware accelerated AES is not present. Improves
107 performance by around 30% on 64-bit Intel; 125% on Armv7-M.
Minos Galanakis2c1daef2024-03-21 15:46:39 +0000108 * The new function psa_generate_key_ext() allows generating an RSA
109 key pair with a custom public exponent.
110 * The new function mbedtls_ecp_write_key_ext() is similar to
111 mbedtls_ecp_write_key(), but can be used without separately calculating
112 the output length.
113 * Add new accessor to expose the private group id member of
114 `mbedtls_ecdh_context` structure.
115 * Add new accessor to expose the `MBEDTLS_PRIVATE(ca_istrue)` member of
116 `mbedtls_x509_crt` structure. This requires setting
117 the MBEDTLS_X509_EXT_BASIC_CONSTRAINTS bit in the certificate's
118 ext_types field.
119 * mbedtls_psa_get_random() is always available as soon as
120 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CLIENT is enabled at build time and psa_crypto_init() is
121 called at runtime. This together with MBEDTLS_PSA_RANDOM_STATE can be
122 used as random number generator function (f_rng) and context (p_rng) in
123 legacy functions.
124 * The new functions mbedtls_pk_copy_from_psa() and
125 mbedtls_pk_copy_public_from_psa() provide ways to set up a PK context
126 with the same content as a PSA key.
127 * Add new accessors to expose the private session-id,
128 session-id length, and ciphersuite-id members of
129 `mbedtls_ssl_session` structure.
130 Add new accessor to expose the ciphersuite-id of
131 `mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_t` structure.Design ref: #8529
132 * Mbed TLS now supports the writing and reading of TLS 1.3 early data (see
133 docs/tls13-early-data.md). The support enablement is controlled at build
134 time by the MBEDTLS_SSL_EARLY_DATA configuration option and at runtime by
135 the mbedtls_ssl_conf_early_data() API (by default disabled in both cases).
136 * Add protection for multithreaded access to the PSA keystore and protection
137 for multithreaded access to the the PSA global state, including
138 concurrently calling psa_crypto_init() when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C and
139 MBEDTLS_THREADING_PTHREAD are defined. See
140 docs/architecture/psa-thread-safety/psa-thread-safety.md for more details.
141 Resolves issues #3263 and #7945.
142
143Security
144 * Fix a stack buffer overread (less than 256 bytes) when parsing a TLS 1.3
145 ClientHello in a TLS 1.3 server supporting some PSK key exchange mode. A
146 malicious client could cause information disclosure or a denial of service.
Ronald Cron93b660b2024-05-02 15:36:16 +0200147 Fixes CVE-2024-30166.
Minos Galanakis2c1daef2024-03-21 15:46:39 +0000148 * Passing buffers that are stored in untrusted memory as arguments
149 to PSA functions is now secure by default.
150 The PSA core now protects against modification of inputs or exposure
151 of intermediate outputs during operations. This is currently implemented
152 by copying buffers.
153 This feature increases code size and memory usage. If buffers passed to
154 PSA functions are owned exclusively by the PSA core for the duration of
155 the function call (i.e. no buffer parameters are in shared memory),
156 copying may be disabled by setting MBEDTLS_PSA_ASSUME_EXCLUSIVE_BUFFERS.
157 Note that setting this option will cause input-output buffer overlap to
158 be only partially supported (#3266).
Minos Galanakis8d94aec2024-03-22 16:00:18 +0000159 Fixes CVE-2024-28960.
Minos Galanakis2c1daef2024-03-21 15:46:39 +0000160 * Restore the maximum TLS version to be negotiated to the configured one
161 when an SSL context is reset with the mbedtls_ssl_session_reset() API.
162 An attacker was able to prevent an Mbed TLS server from establishing any
163 TLS 1.3 connection potentially resulting in a Denial of Service or forced
164 version downgrade from TLS 1.3 to TLS 1.2. Fixes #8654 reported by hey3e.
165 Fixes CVE-2024-28755.
166 * When negotiating TLS version on server side, do not fall back to the
167 TLS 1.2 implementation of the protocol if it is disabled.
168 - If the TLS 1.2 implementation was disabled at build time, a TLS 1.2
169 client could put the TLS 1.3-only server in an infinite loop processing
170 a TLS 1.2 ClientHello, resulting in a denial of service. Reported by
171 Matthias Mucha and Thomas Blattmann, SICK AG.
172 - If the TLS 1.2 implementation was disabled at runtime, a TLS 1.2 client
173 was able to successfully establish a TLS 1.2 connection with the server.
174 Reported by alluettiv on GitHub.
175 Fixes CVE-2024-28836.
176
177Bugfix
178 * Fix the build with CMake when Everest or P256-m is enabled through
179 a user configuration file or the compiler command line. Fixes #8165.
180 * Fix compilation error in C++ programs when MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C is
181 disabled.
182 * Fix possible NULL dereference issue in X509 cert_req program if an entry
183 in the san parameter is not separated by a colon.
184 * Fix possible NULL dereference issue in X509 cert_write program if an entry
185 in the san parameter is not separated by a colon.
Minos Galanakis8d94aec2024-03-22 16:00:18 +0000186 * Fix an inconsistency between implementations and usages of `__cpuid`,
187 which mainly causes failures when building Windows target using
188 mingw or clang. Fixes #8334 & #8332.
Minos Galanakis2c1daef2024-03-21 15:46:39 +0000189 * Fix build failure in conda-forge. Fixes #8422.
190 * Fix parsing of CSRs with critical extensions.
Minos Galanakis8d94aec2024-03-22 16:00:18 +0000191 * Switch to milliseconds as the unit for ticket creation and reception time
192 instead of seconds. That avoids rounding errors when computing the age of
193 tickets compared to peer using a millisecond clock (observed with GnuTLS).
194 Fixes #6623.
Minos Galanakis2c1daef2024-03-21 15:46:39 +0000195 * Fix TLS server accepting TLS 1.2 handshake while TLS 1.2
196 is disabled at runtime. Fixes #8593.
197 * Remove accidental introduction of RSA signature algorithms
198 in TLS Suite B Profile. Fixes #8221.
199 * Fix unsupported PSA asymmetric encryption and decryption
200 (psa_asymmetric_[en|de]crypt) with opaque keys.
201 Resolves #8461.
202 * On Linux on ARMv8, fix a build error with SHA-256 and SHA-512
203 acceleration detection when the libc headers do not define the
204 corresponding constant. Reported by valord577.
205 * Correct initial capacities for key derivation algorithms:TLS12_PRF,
206 TLS12_PSK_TO_MS, PBKDF2-HMAC, PBKDF2-CMAC
207 * Fix mbedtls_pk_get_bitlen() for RSA keys whose size is not a
208 multiple of 8. Fixes #868.
209 * Avoid segmentation fault caused by releasing not initialized
210 entropy resource in gen_key example. Fixes #8809.
211 * mbedtls_pem_read_buffer() now performs a check on the padding data of
212 decrypted keys and it rejects invalid ones.
213 * Fix mbedtls_pk_sign(), mbedtls_pk_verify(), mbedtls_pk_decrypt() and
214 mbedtls_pk_encrypt() on non-opaque RSA keys to honor the padding mode in
215 the RSA context. Before, if MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO was enabled and the
216 RSA context was configured for PKCS#1 v2.1 (PSS/OAEP), the sign/verify
217 functions performed a PKCS#1 v1.5 signature instead and the
218 encrypt/decrypt functions returned an error. Fixes #8824.
219 * Fix missing bitflags in SSL session serialization headers. Their absence
220 allowed SSL sessions saved in one configuration to be loaded in a
221 different, incompatible configuration.
222 * In TLS 1.3 clients, fix an interoperability problem due to the client
223 generating a new random after a HelloRetryRequest. Fixes #8669.
224 * Fix the restoration of the ALPN when loading serialized connection with
Minos Galanakis8d94aec2024-03-22 16:00:18 +0000225 the mbedtls_ssl_context_load() API.
Minos Galanakis2c1daef2024-03-21 15:46:39 +0000226 * Fix NULL pointer dereference in mbedtls_pk_verify_ext() when called using
227 an opaque RSA context and specifying MBEDTLS_PK_RSASSA_PSS as key type.
228 * Fix RSA opaque keys always using PKCS1 v1.5 algorithms instead of the
229 primary algorithm of the wrapped PSA key.
230 * Fully support arbitrary overlap between inputs and outputs of PSA
231 functions. Note that overlap is still only partially supported when
232 MBEDTLS_PSA_ASSUME_EXCLUSIVE_BUFFERS is set (#3266).
233
234Changes
235 * Use heap memory to allocate DER encoded public/private key.
236 This reduces stack usage significantly for writing a public/private
237 key to a PEM string.
Minos Galanakis8d94aec2024-03-22 16:00:18 +0000238 * PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM and PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG are no more synonyms and
239 they are now treated separately. This means that they should be
240 individually enabled in order to enable respective support; also the
241 corresponding MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL symbol should be defined in case
242 acceleration is required.
243 * Moved declaration of functions mbedtls_ecc_group_to_psa and
244 mbedtls_ecc_group_of_psa from psa/crypto_extra.h to mbedtls/psa_util.h
Minos Galanakis2c1daef2024-03-21 15:46:39 +0000245 * mbedtls_pk_sign_ext() is now always available, not just when
246 PSA (MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C) is enabled.
247 * Extended PSA Crypto configurations options for FFDH by making it possible
248 to select only some of the parameters / groups, with the macros
249 PSA_WANT_DH_RFC7919_XXXX. You now need to defined the corresponding macro
250 for each size you want to support. Also, if you have an FFDH accelerator,
251 you'll need to define the appropriate MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL macros to signal
252 support for these domain parameters.
253 * RSA support in PSA no longer auto-enables the pkparse and pkwrite modules,
254 saving code size when those are not otherwise enabled.
255 * mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod and code that uses it, notably RSA and DHM operations,
256 have changed their speed/memory compromise as part of a proactive security
257 improvement. The new default value of MBEDTLS_MPI_WINDOW_SIZE roughly
258 preserves the current speed, at the expense of increasing memory
259 consumption.
260 * Rename directory containing Visual Studio files from visualc/VS2013 to
261 visualc/VS2017.
262 * The TLS 1.3 protocol is now enabled in the default configuration.
263
Dave Rodgman6ba41692024-01-22 15:40:12 +0000264= Mbed TLS 3.5.2 branch released 2024-01-26
265
266Security
267 * Fix a timing side channel in private key RSA operations. This side channel
268 could be sufficient for an attacker to recover the plaintext. A local
269 attacker or a remote attacker who is close to the victim on the network
270 might have precise enough timing measurements to exploit this. It requires
271 the attacker to send a large number of messages for decryption. For
272 details, see "Everlasting ROBOT: the Marvin Attack", Hubert Kario. Reported
273 by Hubert Kario, Red Hat.
274 * Fix a failure to validate input when writing x509 extensions lengths which
275 could result in an integer overflow, causing a zero-length buffer to be
276 allocated to hold the extension. The extension would then be copied into
277 the buffer, causing a heap buffer overflow.
278
Dave Rodgman0a403d42023-11-03 12:28:08 +0000279= Mbed TLS 3.5.1 branch released 2023-11-06
280
281Changes
282 * Mbed TLS is now released under a dual Apache-2.0 OR GPL-2.0-or-later
283 license. Users may choose which license they take the code under.
284
Dave Rodgman76049152023-11-07 12:33:17 +0000285Bugfix
286 * Fix accidental omission of MBEDTLS_TARGET_PREFIX in 3rdparty modules
287 in CMake.
288
Minos Galanakis974388f2023-10-03 22:07:22 +0100289= Mbed TLS 3.5.0 branch released 2023-10-05
Minos Galanakis80a81562023-10-03 22:03:50 +0100290
291API changes
292 * Mbed TLS 3.4 introduced support for omitting the built-in implementation
293 of ECDSA and/or EC J-PAKE when those are provided by a driver. However,
Dave Rodgmanc0e1f3e2023-11-03 11:08:05 +0000294 there was a flaw in the logic checking if the built-in implementation, in
295 that it failed to check if all the relevant curves were supported by the
Minos Galanakis80a81562023-10-03 22:03:50 +0100296 accelerator. As a result, it was possible to declare no curves as
297 accelerated and still have the built-in implementation compiled out.
298 Starting with this release, it is necessary to declare which curves are
299 accelerated (using MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_ECC_xxx macros), or they will be
300 considered not accelerated, and the built-in implementation of the curves
301 and any algorithm possible using them will be included in the build.
302 * Add new millisecond time type `mbedtls_ms_time_t` and `mbedtls_ms_time()`
303 function, needed for TLS 1.3 ticket lifetimes. Alternative implementations
304 can be created using an ALT interface.
305
306Requirement changes
307 * Officially require Python 3.8 now that earlier versions are out of support.
308 * Minimum required Windows version is now Windows Vista, or
309 Windows Server 2008.
310
311New deprecations
312 * PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR and
313 MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR, where xxx is either ECC or RSA,
314 are now being deprecated in favor of PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy and
315 MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy. Here yyy can be: BASIC,
316 IMPORT, EXPORT, GENERATE, DERIVE. The goal is to have a finer detail about
317 the capabilities of the PSA side for either key.
318 * MBEDTLS_CIPHER_BLKSIZE_MAX is deprecated in favor of
319 MBEDTLS_MAX_BLOCK_LENGTH (if you intended what the name suggests:
320 maximum size of any supported block cipher) or the new name
321 MBEDTLS_CMAC_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE (if you intended the actual semantics:
322 maximum size of a block cipher supported by the CMAC module).
323 * mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() and mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe() functions are now
324 deprecated in favor of mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2_ext() and
325 mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe_ext() as they offer more security by checking
326 for overflow of the output buffer and reporting the actual length
327 of the output.
328
329Features
330 * All modules that use hashes or HMAC can now take advantage of PSA Crypto
331 drivers when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C is enabled and psa_crypto_init() has
332 been called. Previously (in 3.3), this was restricted to a few modules,
333 and only in builds where MBEDTLS_MD_C was disabled; in particular the
334 entropy module was not covered which meant an external RNG had to be
335 provided - these limitations are lifted in this version. A new set of
336 feature macros, MBEDTLS_MD_CAN_xxx, has been introduced that can be used
337 to check for availability of hash algorithms, regardless of whether
338 they're provided by a built-in implementation, a driver or both. See
339 docs/driver-only-builds.md.
340 * When a PSA driver for ECDH is present, it is now possible to disable
341 MBEDTLS_ECDH_C in the build in order to save code size. For TLS 1.2
342 key exchanges based on ECDH(E) to work, this requires
343 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO. Restartable/interruptible ECDHE operations in
344 TLS 1.2 (ECDHE-ECDSA key exchange) are not supported in those builds yet,
345 as PSA does not have an API for restartable ECDH yet.
346 * When all of ECDH, ECDSA and EC J-PAKE are either disabled or provided by
347 a driver, it is possible to disable MBEDTLS_ECP_C (and MBEDTLS_BIGNUM_C
348 if not required by another module) and still get support for ECC keys and
349 algorithms in PSA, with some limitations. See docs/driver-only-builds.txt
350 for details.
351 * Add parsing of directoryName subtype for subjectAltName extension in
352 x509 certificates.
353 * Add support for server-side TLS version negotiation. If both TLS 1.2 and
354 TLS 1.3 protocols are enabled, the TLS server now selects TLS 1.2 or
355 TLS 1.3 depending on the capabilities and preferences of TLS clients.
356 Fixes #6867.
357 * X.509 hostname verification now supports IPAddress Subject Alternate Names.
358 * Add support for reading and writing X25519 and X448
359 public and private keys in RFC 8410 format using the existing PK APIs.
360 * When parsing X.509 certificates, support the extensions
361 SignatureKeyIdentifier and AuthorityKeyIdentifier.
362 * Don't include the PSA dispatch functions for PAKEs (psa_pake_setup() etc)
363 if no PAKE algorithms are requested
364 * Add support for the FFDH algorithm and DH key types in PSA, with
365 parameters from RFC 7919. This includes a built-in implementation based
366 on MBEDTLS_BIGNUM_C, and a driver dispatch layer enabling alternative
367 implementations of FFDH through the driver entry points.
368 * It is now possible to generate certificates with SubjectAltNames.
369 Currently supported subtypes: DnsName, UniformResourceIdentifier,
370 IP address, OtherName, and DirectoryName, as defined in RFC 5280.
371 See mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_subject_alternative_name for
372 more information.
373 * X.509 hostname verification now partially supports URI Subject Alternate
374 Names. Only exact matching, without any normalization procedures
375 described in 7.4 of RFC5280, will result in a positive URI verification.
376 * Add function mbedtls_oid_from_numeric_string() to parse an OID from a
377 string to a DER-encoded mbedtls_asn1_buf.
Dave Rodgman5d323bf2023-10-04 18:46:47 +0100378 * Add SHA-3 family hash functions.
Minos Galanakis80a81562023-10-03 22:03:50 +0100379 * Add support to restrict AES to 128-bit keys in order to save code size.
380 A new configuration option, MBEDTLS_AES_ONLY_128_BIT_KEY_LENGTH, can be
381 used to enable this feature.
382 * AES performance improvements. Uplift varies by platform,
383 toolchain, optimisation flags and mode.
384 Aarch64, gcc -Os and CCM, GCM and XTS benefit the most.
385 On Aarch64, uplift is typically around 20 - 110%.
386 When compiling with gcc -Os on Aarch64, AES-XTS improves
387 by 4.5x.
388 * Add support for PBKDF2-HMAC through the PSA API.
389 * New symbols PSA_WANT_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy and
390 MBEDTLS_PSA_ACCEL_KEY_TYPE_xxx_KEY_PAIR_yyy (where xxx is either ECC, RSA
391 or DH) were introduced in order to have finer accuracy in defining the
392 PSA capabilities for each key. These capabilities, named yyy above, can be
393 any of: BASIC, IMPORT, EXPORT, GENERATE, DERIVE.
394 - DERIVE is only available for ECC keys, not for RSA or DH ones.
395 - implementations are free to enable more than what it was strictly
396 requested. For example BASIC internally enables IMPORT and EXPORT
397 (useful for testing purposes), but this might change in the future.
398 * Add support for FFDH key exchange in TLS 1.3.
399 This is automatically enabled as soon as PSA_WANT_ALG_FFDH
400 and the ephemeral or psk-ephemeral key exchange mode are enabled.
401 By default, all groups are offered; the list of groups can be
402 configured using the existing API function mbedtls_ssl_conf_groups().
403 * Improve mbedtls_x509_time performance and reduce memory use.
404 * Reduce syscalls to time() during certificate verification.
405 * Allow MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE and MBEDTLS_USER_CONFIG_FILE to be set by
406 setting the CMake variable of the same name at configuration time.
407 * Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_cache_get_timeout()) to access
408 `mbedtls_ssl_cache_context.timeout`.
409 * Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_get_hostname()) to access
410 `mbedtls_ssl_context.hostname`.
411 * Add getter (mbedtls_ssl_conf_get_endpoint()) to access
412 `mbedtls_ssl_config.endpoint`.
413 * Support for "opaque" (PSA-held) ECC keys in the PK module has been
414 extended: it is now possible to use mbedtls_pk_write_key_der(),
415 mbedtls_pk_write_key_pem(), mbedtls_pk_check_pair(), and
416 mbedtls_pk_verify() with opaque ECC keys (provided the PSA attributes
417 allow it).
418 * The documentation of mbedtls_ecp_group now describes the optimized
419 representation of A for some curves. Fixes #8045.
420 * Add a possibility to generate CSR's with RCF822 and directoryName subtype
421 of subjectAltName extension in x509 certificates.
422 * Add support for PBKDF2-CMAC through the PSA API.
423 * New configuration option MBEDTLS_AES_USE_HARDWARE_ONLY introduced. When
424 using CPU-accelerated AES (e.g., Arm Crypto Extensions), this option
425 disables the plain C implementation and the run-time detection for the
426 CPU feature, which reduces code size and avoids the vulnerability of the
427 plain C implementation.
428 * Accept arbitrary AttributeType and AttributeValue in certificate
429 Distinguished Names using RFC 4514 syntax.
430 * Applications using ECC over secp256r1 through the PSA API can use a
431 new implementation with a much smaller footprint, but some minor
432 usage restrictions. See the documentation of the new configuration
433 option MBEDTLS_PSA_P256M_DRIVER_ENABLED for details.
434
435Security
436 * Fix a case where potentially sensitive information held in memory would not
437 be completely zeroized during TLS 1.2 handshake, in both server and client
438 configurations.
439 * In configurations with ARIA or Camellia but not AES, the value of
440 MBEDTLS_CIPHER_BLKSIZE_MAX was 8, rather than 16 as the name might
441 suggest. This did not affect any library code, because this macro was
442 only used in relation with CMAC which does not support these ciphers.
443 This may affect application code that uses this macro.
444 * Developers using mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() or mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe() should
445 review the size of the output buffer passed to this function, and note
446 that the output after decryption may include CBC padding. Consider moving
447 to the new functions mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2_ext() or mbedtls_pkcs12_pbe_ext()
448 which checks for overflow of the output buffer and reports the actual
449 length of the output.
450 * Improve padding calculations in CBC decryption, NIST key unwrapping and
451 RSA OAEP decryption. With the previous implementation, some compilers
452 (notably recent versions of Clang and IAR) could produce non-constant
453 time code, which could allow a padding oracle attack if the attacker
454 has access to precise timing measurements.
455 * Updates to constant-time C code so that compilers are less likely to use
456 conditional instructions, which can have an observable difference in
457 timing. (Clang has been seen to do this.) Also introduce assembly
458 implementations for 32- and 64-bit Arm and for x86 and x86-64, which are
459 guaranteed not to use conditional instructions.
460 * Fix definition of MBEDTLS_MD_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE, which was too
461 small when MBEDTLS_SHA384_C was defined and MBEDTLS_SHA512_C was
462 undefined. Mbed TLS itself was unaffected by this, but user code
463 which used MBEDTLS_MD_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE could be affected. The only
464 release containing this bug was Mbed TLS 3.4.0.
465 * Fix a buffer overread when parsing short TLS application data records in
466 null-cipher cipher suites. Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
467 * Fix a remotely exploitable heap buffer overflow in TLS handshake parsing.
468 In TLS 1.3, all configurations are affected except PSK-only ones, and
469 both clients and servers are affected.
470 In TLS 1.2, the affected configurations are those with
471 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO and ECDH enabled but DHM and RSA disabled,
472 and only servers are affected, not clients.
473 Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
474
475Bugfix
476 * Fix proper sizing for PSA_EXPORT_[KEY_PAIR/PUBLIC_KEY]_MAX_SIZE and
477 PSA_SIGNATURE_MAX_SIZE buffers when at least one accelerated EC is bigger
478 than all built-in ones and RSA is disabled.
479 Resolves #6622.
480 * Add missing md.h includes to some of the external programs from
481 the programs directory. Without this, even though the configuration
482 was sufficient for a particular program to work, it would only print
483 a message that one of the required defines is missing.
484 * Fix declaration of mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det_restartable() function
485 in the ecdsa.h header file. There was a build warning when the
486 configuration macro MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT was defined.
487 Resolves #7407.
488 * Fix an error when MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT is defined but not
489 MBEDTLS_ECDSA_VERIFY_ALT, causing ecdsa verify to fail. Fixes #7498.
490 * Fix missing PSA initialization in sample programs when
491 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
492 * Fix the J-PAKE driver interface for user and peer to accept any values
493 (previously accepted values were limited to "client" or "server").
494 * Fix clang and armclang compilation error when targeting certain Arm
495 M-class CPUs (Cortex-M0, Cortex-M0+, Cortex-M1, Cortex-M23,
496 SecurCore SC000). Fixes #1077.
497 * Fix "unterminated '#pragma clang attribute push'" in sha256/sha512.c when
498 built with MBEDTLS_SHAxxx_USE_A64_CRYPTO_IF_PRESENT but don't have a
499 way to detect the crypto extensions required. A warning is still issued.
500 * Fixed an issue that caused compile errors when using CMake and the IAR
501 toolchain.
502 * Fix very high stack usage in SSL debug code. Reported by Maximilian
503 Gerhardt in #7804.
504 * Fix a compilation failure in the constant_time module when
505 building for arm64_32 (e.g., for watchos). Reported by Paulo
506 Coutinho in #7787.
507 * Fix crypt_and_hash decryption fail when used with a stream cipher
508 mode of operation due to the input not being multiple of block size.
509 Resolves #7417.
510 * Fix a bug in which mbedtls_x509_string_to_names() would return success
511 when given a invalid name string if it did not contain '=' or ','.
512 * Fix compilation warnings in aes.c, which prevented the
513 example TF-M configuration in configs/ from building cleanly:
514 tfm_mbedcrypto_config_profile_medium.h with
515 crypto_config_profile_medium.h.
516 * In TLS 1.3, fix handshake failure when a client in its ClientHello
517 proposes an handshake based on PSK only key exchange mode or at least
518 one of the key exchange modes using ephemeral keys to a server that
519 supports only the PSK key exchange mode.
520 * Fix CCM* with no tag being not supported in a build with CCM as the only
521 symmetric encryption algorithm and the PSA configuration enabled.
522 * Fix the build with MBEDTLS_PSA_INJECT_ENTROPY. Fixes #7516.
523 * Fix a compilation error on some platforms when including mbedtls/ssl.h
524 with all TLS support disabled. Fixes #6628.
525 * Fix x509 certificate generation to conform to RFC 5480 / RFC 5758 when
526 using ECC key. The certificate was rejected by some crypto frameworks.
527 Fixes #2924.
528 * Fix a potential corruption of the passed-in IV when mbedtls_aes_crypt_cbc()
529 is called with zero length and padlock is not enabled.
530 * Fix compile failure due to empty enum in cipher_wrap.c, when building
531 with a very minimal configuration. Fixes #7625.
532 * Fix some cases where mbedtls_mpi_mod_exp, RSA key construction or ECDSA
533 signature can silently return an incorrect result in low memory conditions.
534 * Don't try to include MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_USER_CONFIG_FILE when
535 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is disabled.
536 * Fix IAR compiler warnings.
537 * Fix an issue when parsing an otherName subject alternative name into a
538 mbedtls_x509_san_other_name struct. The type-id of the otherName was not
539 copied to the struct. This meant that the struct had incomplete
540 information about the otherName SAN and contained uninitialized memory.
541 * Fix the detection of HardwareModuleName otherName SANs. These were being
542 detected by comparing the wrong field and the check was erroneously
543 inverted.
544 * Fix a build error in some configurations with MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG
545 enabled, where some low-level modules required by requested PSA crypto
546 features were not getting automatically enabled. Fixes #7420.
547 * Fix undefined symbols in some builds using TLS 1.3 with a custom
548 configuration file.
549 * Fix log level for the got supported group message. Fixes #6765
550 * Functions in the ssl_cache module now return a negative MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx
551 error code on failure. Before, they returned 1 to indicate failure in
552 some cases involving a missing entry or a full cache.
553 * mbedtls_pk_parse_key() now rejects trailing garbage in encrypted keys.
Dave Rodgman5d323bf2023-10-04 18:46:47 +0100554 * Fix the build with CMake when Everest or P256-m is enabled through
555 a user configuration file or the compiler command line. Fixes #8165.
Minos Galanakis80a81562023-10-03 22:03:50 +0100556
557Changes
558 * Enable Arm / Thumb bignum assembly for most Arm platforms when
559 compiling with gcc, clang or armclang and -O0.
560 * Enforce minimum RSA key size when generating a key
561 to avoid accidental misuse.
562 * Use heap memory to allocate DER encoded RSA private key.
563 This reduces stack usage significantly for RSA signature
564 operations when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C is defined.
565 * Update Windows code to use BCryptGenRandom and wcslen, and
566 ensure that conversions between size_t, ULONG, and int are
567 always done safely. Original contribution by Kevin Kane #635, #730
568 followed by Simon Butcher #1453.
Dave Rodgman5d323bf2023-10-04 18:46:47 +0100569 * Users integrating their own PSA drivers should be aware that
Minos Galanakis80a81562023-10-03 22:03:50 +0100570 the file library/psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.c has been renamed
571 to psa_crypto_driver_wrappers_no_static.c.
572 * When using CBC with the cipher module, the requirement to call
573 mbedtls_cipher_set_padding_mode() is now enforced. Previously, omitting
574 this call accidentally applied a default padding mode chosen at compile
575 time.

586
587Default behavior changes
588 * The default priority order of TLS 1.3 cipher suites has been modified to
589 follow the same rules as the TLS 1.2 cipher suites (see
590 ssl_ciphersuites.c). The preferred cipher suite is now
591 TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256.
592
593New deprecations
594 * mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial() is now being deprecated in favor of
595 mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial_raw(). The goal here is to remove any
596 direct dependency of X509 on BIGNUM_C.
597 * PSA to mbedtls error translation is now unified in psa_util.h,
598 deprecating mbedtls_md_error_from_psa. Each file that performs error
599 translation should define its own version of PSA_TO_MBEDTLS_ERR,
600 optionally providing file-specific error pairs. Please see psa_util.h for
601 more details.
602
603Features
604 * Added partial support for parsing the PKCS #7 Cryptographic Message
605 Syntax, as defined in RFC 2315. Currently, support is limited to the
606 following:
607 - Only the signed-data content type, version 1 is supported.
608 - Only DER encoding is supported.
609 - Only a single digest algorithm per message is supported.
610 - Certificates must be in X.509 format. A message must have either 0
611 or 1 certificates.
612 - There is no support for certificate revocation lists.
613 - The authenticated and unauthenticated attribute fields of SignerInfo
614 must be empty.
615 Many thanks to Daniel Axtens, Nayna Jain, and Nick Child from IBM for
616 contributing this feature, and to Demi-Marie Obenour for contributing
617 various improvements, tests and bug fixes.
618 * General performance improvements by accessing multiple bytes at a time.
619 Fixes #1666.
620 * Improvements to use of unaligned and byte-swapped memory, reducing code
621 size and improving performance (depending on compiler and target
622 architecture).
623 * Add support for reading points in compressed format
624 (MBEDTLS_ECP_PF_COMPRESSED) with mbedtls_ecp_point_read_binary()
625 (and callers) for Short Weierstrass curves with prime p where p = 3 mod 4
626 (all mbedtls MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP* and MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_BP* curves
627 except MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP224R1 and MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_SECP224K1)
628 * SHA224_C/SHA384_C are now independent from SHA384_C/SHA512_C respectively.
629 This helps in saving code size when some of the above hashes are not
630 required.
631 * Add parsing of V3 extensions (key usage, Netscape cert-type,
632 Subject Alternative Names) in x509 Certificate Sign Requests.
633 * Use HOSTCC (if it is set) when compiling C code during generation of the
634 configuration-independent files. This allows them to be generated when
635 CC is set for cross compilation.
636 * Add parsing of uniformResourceIdentifier subtype for subjectAltName
637 extension in x509 certificates.
638 * Add an interruptible version of sign and verify hash to the PSA interface,
639 backed by internal library support for ECDSA signing and verification.
640 * Add parsing of rfc822Name subtype for subjectAltName
641 extension in x509 certificates.
642 * The configuration macros MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_PLATFORM_FILE and
643 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_STRUCT_FILE specify alternative locations for
644 the headers "psa/crypto_platform.h" and "psa/crypto_struct.h".
645 * When a PSA driver for ECDSA is present, it is now possible to disable
646 MBEDTLS_ECDSA_C in the build in order to save code size. For PK, X.509
647 and TLS to fully work, this requires MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO to be enabled.
648 Restartable/interruptible ECDSA operations in PK, X.509 and TLS are not
649 supported in those builds yet, as driver support for interruptible ECDSA
650 operations is not present yet.
651 * Add a driver dispatch layer for EC J-PAKE, enabling alternative
652 implementations of EC J-PAKE through the driver entry points.
653 * Add new API mbedtls_ssl_cache_remove for cache entry removal by
654 its session id.
655 * Add support to include the SubjectAltName extension to a CSR.
656 * Add support for AES with the Armv8-A Cryptographic Extension on
657 64-bit Arm. A new configuration option, MBEDTLS_AESCE_C, can
658 be used to enable this feature. Run-time detection is supported
659 under Linux only.
660 * When a PSA driver for EC J-PAKE is present, it is now possible to disable
661 MBEDTLS_ECJPAKE_C in the build in order to save code size. For the
662 corresponding TLS 1.2 key exchange to work, MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO needs
663 to be enabled.
664 * Add functions mbedtls_rsa_get_padding_mode() and mbedtls_rsa_get_md_alg()
665 to read non-public fields for padding mode and hash id from
666 an mbedtls_rsa_context, as requested in #6917.
667 * AES-NI is now supported with Visual Studio.
668 * AES-NI is now supported in 32-bit builds, or when MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM
669 is disabled, when compiling with GCC or Clang or a compatible compiler
670 for a target CPU that supports the requisite instructions (for example
671 gcc -m32 -msse2 -maes -mpclmul). (Generic x86 builds with GCC-like
672 compilers still require MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM and a 64-bit target.)
673 * It is now possible to use a PSA-held (opaque) password with the TLS 1.2
674 ECJPAKE key exchange, using the new API function
675 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_ecjpake_password_opaque().
676
677Security
678 * Use platform-provided secure zeroization function where possible, such as
679 explicit_bzero().
680 * Zeroize SSL cache entries when they are freed.
681 * Fix a potential heap buffer overread in TLS 1.3 client-side when
682 MBEDTLS_DEBUG_C is enabled. This may result in an application crash.
683 * Add support for AES with the Armv8-A Cryptographic Extension on 64-bit
684 Arm, so that these systems are no longer vulnerable to timing side-channel
685 attacks. This is configured by MBEDTLS_AESCE_C, which is on by default.
686 Reported by Demi Marie Obenour.
687 * MBEDTLS_AESNI_C, which is enabled by default, was silently ignored on
688 builds that couldn't compile the GCC-style assembly implementation
689 (most notably builds with Visual Studio), leaving them vulnerable to
690 timing side-channel attacks. There is now an intrinsics-based AES-NI
691 implementation as a fallback for when the assembly one cannot be used.
692
693Bugfix
694 * Fix possible integer overflow in mbedtls_timing_hardclock(), which
695 could cause a crash in programs/test/benchmark.
696 * Fix IAR compiler warnings. Fixes #6924.
697 * Fix a bug in the build where directory names containing spaces were
698 causing generate_errors.pl to error out resulting in a build failure.
699 Fixes issue #6879.
700 * In TLS 1.3, when using a ticket for session resumption, tweak its age
701 calculation on the client side. It prevents a server with more accurate
702 ticket timestamps (typically timestamps in milliseconds) compared to the
703 Mbed TLS ticket timestamps (in seconds) to compute a ticket age smaller
704 than the age computed and transmitted by the client and thus potentially
705 reject the ticket. Fix #6623.
706 * Fix compile error where MBEDTLS_RSA_C and MBEDTLS_X509_CRT_WRITE_C are
707 defined, but MBEDTLS_PK_RSA_ALT_SUPPORT is not defined. Fixes #3174.
708 * List PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG in psa/crypto_config.h so that it can
709 be toggled with config.py.
710 * The key derivation algorithm PSA_ALG_TLS12_ECJPAKE_TO_PMS cannot be
711 used on a shared secret from a key agreement since its input must be
712 an ECC public key. Reject this properly.
713 * mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_serial() now explicitly rejects serial numbers
714 whose binary representation is longer than 20 bytes. This was already
715 forbidden by the standard (RFC5280 - section 4.1.2.2) and now it's being
716 enforced also at code level.
717 * Fix potential undefined behavior in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs(). Reported by
718 Pascal Cuoq using TrustInSoft Analyzer in #6701; observed independently by
719 Aaron Ucko under Valgrind.
720 * Fix behavior of certain sample programs which could, when run with no
721 arguments, access uninitialized memory in some cases. Fixes #6700 (which
722 was found by TrustInSoft Analyzer during REDOCS'22) and #1120.
723 * Fix parsing of X.509 SubjectAlternativeName extension. Previously,
724 malformed alternative name components were not caught during initial
725 certificate parsing, but only on subsequent calls to
726 mbedtls_x509_parse_subject_alt_name(). Fixes #2838.
727 * Make the fields of mbedtls_pk_rsassa_pss_options public. This makes it
728 possible to verify RSA PSS signatures with the pk module, which was
729 inadvertently broken since Mbed TLS 3.0.
730 * Fix bug in conversion from OID to string in
731 mbedtls_oid_get_numeric_string(). OIDs such as 2.40.0.25 are now printed
732 correctly.
733 * Reject OIDs with overlong-encoded subidentifiers when converting
734 them to a string.
735 * Reject OIDs with subidentifier values exceeding UINT_MAX. Such
736 subidentifiers can be valid, but Mbed TLS cannot currently handle them.
737 * Reject OIDs that have unterminated subidentifiers, or (equivalently)
738 have the most-significant bit set in their last byte.
739 * Silence warnings from clang -Wdocumentation about empty \retval
740 descriptions, which started appearing with Clang 15. Fixes #6960.
741 * Fix the handling of renegotiation attempts in TLS 1.3. They are now
742 systematically rejected.
743 * Fix an unused-variable warning in TLS 1.3-only builds if
744 MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION was enabled. Fixes #6200.
745 * Fix undefined behavior in mbedtls_ssl_read() and mbedtls_ssl_write() if
746 len argument is 0 and buffer is NULL.
747 * Allow setting user and peer identifiers for EC J-PAKE operation
748 instead of role in PAKE PSA Crypto API as described in the specification.
749 This is a partial fix that allows only "client" and "server" identifiers.
750 * Fix a compilation error when PSA Crypto is built with support for
751 TLS12_PRF but not TLS12_PSK_TO_MS. Reported by joerchan in #7125.
752 * In the TLS 1.3 server, select the preferred client cipher suite, not the
753 least preferred. The selection error was introduced in Mbed TLS 3.3.0.
754 * Fix TLS 1.3 session resumption when the established pre-shared key is
755 384 bits long. That is the length of pre-shared keys created under a
756 session where the cipher suite is TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384.
757 * Fix an issue when compiling with MBEDTLS_SHA512_USE_A64_CRYPTO_IF_PRESENT
758 enabled, which required specifying compiler flags enabling SHA3 Crypto
759 Extensions, where some compilers would emit EOR3 instructions in other
760 modules, which would then fail if run on a CPU without the SHA3
761 extensions. Fixes #5758.
762
763Changes
764 * Install the .cmake files into CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR/cmake/MbedTLS,
765 typically /usr/lib/cmake/MbedTLS.
766 * Mixed-endian systems are explicitly not supported any more.
767 * When MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO and MBEDTLS_ECDSA_DETERMINISTIC are both
768 defined, mbedtls_pk_sign() now use deterministic ECDSA for ECDSA
769 signatures. This aligns the behaviour with MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO to
770 the behaviour without it, where deterministic ECDSA was already used.
771 * Visual Studio: Rename the directory containing Visual Studio files from
772 visualc/VS2010 to visualc/VS2013 as we do not support building with versions
773 older than 2013. Update the solution file to specify VS2013 as a minimum.
774 * programs/x509/cert_write:
775 - now it accepts the serial number in 2 different formats: decimal and
776 hex. They cannot be used simultaneously
777 - "serial" is used for the decimal format and it's limted in size to
778 unsigned long long int
779 - "serial_hex" is used for the hex format; max length here is
780 MBEDTLS_X509_RFC5280_MAX_SERIAL_LEN*2
781 * The C code follows a new coding style. This is transparent for users but
782 affects contributors and maintainers of local patches. For more
783 information, see
784 https://mbed-tls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kb/how-to/rewrite-branch-for-coding-style/
785 * Changed the default MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE from 6 to 2.
786 As tested in issue 6790, the correlation between this define and
787 RSA decryption performance has changed lately due to security fixes.
788 To fix the performance degradation when using default values the
789 window was reduced from 6 to 2, a value that gives the best or close
790 to best results when tested on Cortex-M4 and Intel i7.
791 * When enabling MBEDTLS_SHA256_USE_A64_CRYPTO_* or
792 MBEDTLS_SHA512_USE_A64_CRYPTO_*, it is no longer necessary to specify
793 compiler target flags on the command line; the library now sets target
794 options within the appropriate modules.

797
Dave Rodgman69591e92022-12-08 14:59:54 +0000798Default behavior changes
799 * Previously the macro MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID implemented version 05
800 of the IETF draft, and was marked experimental and disabled by default.
801 It is now no longer experimental, and implements the final version from
802 RFC 9146, which is not interoperable with the draft-05 version.
803 If you need to communicate with peers that use earlier versions of
804 Mbed TLS, then you need to define MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID_COMPAT
805 to 1, but then you won't be able to communicate with peers that use the
806 standard (non-draft) version.
807 If you need to interoperate with both classes of peers with the
808 same build of Mbed TLS, please let us know about your situation on the
809 mailing list or GitHub.
810
811Requirement changes
812 * When building with PSA drivers using generate_driver_wrappers.py, or
813 when building the library from the development branch rather than
814 from a release, the Python module jsonschema is now necessary, in
815 addition to jinja2. The official list of required Python modules is
816 maintained in scripts/basic.requirements.txt and may change again
817 in the future.
818
819New deprecations
820 * Deprecate mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data().
821 Use mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list()
822 or mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list_shallow().
823
824Features
825 * Support rsa_pss_rsae_* signature algorithms in TLS 1.2.
826 * make: enable building unversioned shared library, with e.g.:
827 "SHARED=1 SOEXT_TLS=so SOEXT_X509=so SOEXT_CRYPTO=so make lib"
828 resulting in library names like "libmbedtls.so" rather than
829 "libmbedcrypto.so.11".
830 * Expose the EC J-PAKE functionality through the Draft PSA PAKE Crypto API.
831 Only the ECC primitive with secp256r1 curve and SHA-256 hash algorithm
832 are supported in this implementation.
833 * Some modules can now use PSA drivers for hashes, including with no
834 built-in implementation present, but only in some configurations.
835 - RSA OAEP and PSS (PKCS#1 v2.1), PKCS5, PKCS12 and EC J-PAKE now use
836 hashes from PSA when (and only when) MBEDTLS_MD_C is disabled.
837 - PEM parsing of encrypted files now uses MD-5 from PSA when (and only
838 when) MBEDTLS_MD5_C is disabled.
839 See the documentation of the corresponding macros in mbedtls_config.h for
840 details.
841 Note that some modules are not able to use hashes from PSA yet, including
842 the entropy module. As a consequence, for now the only way to build with
843 all hashes only provided by drivers (no built-in hash) is to use
844 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG.
845 * When MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled, X.509, TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 now
846 properly negotiate/accept hashes based on their availability in PSA.
847 As a consequence, they now work in configurations where the built-in
848 implementations of (some) hashes are excluded and those hashes are only
849 provided by PSA drivers. (See previous entry for limitation on RSA-PSS
850 though: that module only use hashes from PSA when MBEDTLS_MD_C is off).
851 * Add support for opaque keys as the private keys associated to certificates
852 for authentication in TLS 1.3.
853 * Add the LMS post-quantum-safe stateful-hash asymmetric signature scheme.
854 Signature verification is production-ready, but generation is for testing
855 purposes only. This currently only supports one parameter set
856 (LMS_SHA256_M32_H10), meaning that each private key can be used to sign
857 1024 messages. As such, it is not intended for use in TLS, but instead
858 for verification of assets transmitted over an insecure channel,
859 particularly firmware images.
860 * Add the LM-OTS post-quantum-safe one-time signature scheme, which is
861 required for LMS. This can be used independently, but each key can only
862 be used to sign one message so is impractical for most circumstances.
863 * Mbed TLS now supports TLS 1.3 key establishment via pre-shared keys.
864 The pre-shared keys can be provisioned externally or via the ticket
865 mechanism (session resumption).
866 The ticket mechanism is supported when the configuration option
867 MBEDTLS_SSL_SESSION_TICKETS is enabled.
868 New options MBEDTLS_SSL_TLS1_3_KEY_EXCHANGE_MODE_xxx_ENABLED
869 control the support for the three possible TLS 1.3 key exchange modes.
870 * cert_write: support for setting extended key usage attributes. A
871 corresponding new public API call has been added in the library,
872 mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_ext_key_usage().
873 * cert_write: support for writing certificate files in either PEM
874 or DER format.
875 * The PSA driver wrapper generator generate_driver_wrappers.py now
876 supports a subset of the driver description language, including
877 the following entry points: import_key, export_key, export_public_key,
878 get_builtin_key, copy_key.
879 * The new functions mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list() and
880 mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list_shallow() simplify the management
881 of memory in named data lists in X.509 structures.
882 * The TLS 1.2 EC J-PAKE key exchange can now use the PSA Crypto API.
883 Additional PSA key slots will be allocated in the process of such key
884 exchange for builds that enable MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECJPAKE_ENABLED and
885 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO.
886 * Add support for DTLS Connection ID as defined by RFC 9146, controlled by
887 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID (enabled by default) and configured with
888 mbedtls_ssl_set_cid().
889 * Add a driver dispatch layer for raw key agreement, enabling alternative
890 implementations of raw key agreement through the key_agreement driver
891 entry point. This entry point is specified in the proposed PSA driver
892 interface, but had not yet been implemented.
Dave Rodgman552e1072022-12-14 17:01:51 +0000893 * Add an ad-hoc key derivation function handling EC J-PAKE to PMS
894 calculation that can be used to derive the session secret in TLS 1.2,
895 as described in draft-cragie-tls-ecjpake-01. This can be achieved by
896 using PSA_ALG_TLS12_ECJPAKE_TO_PMS as the key derivation algorithm.
Dave Rodgman69591e92022-12-08 14:59:54 +0000897
898Security
899 * Fix potential heap buffer overread and overwrite in DTLS if
900 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID is enabled and
901 MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_IN_LEN_MAX > 2 * MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_OUT_LEN_MAX.
Tom Cosgroveb3c6a1e2023-03-08 15:47:00 +0000902 * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough information
903 about memory accesses (typically, an untrusted operating system attacking
904 a secure enclave) could recover an RSA private key after observing the
905 victim performing a single private-key operation if the window size used
906 for the exponentiation was 3 or smaller. Found and reported by Zili KOU,
Dave Rodgman69591e92022-12-08 14:59:54 +0000907 Wenjian HE, Sharad Sinha, and Wei ZHANG. See "Cache Side-channel Attacks
908 and Defenses of the Sliding Window Algorithm in TEEs" - Design, Automation
909 and Test in Europe 2023.

911Bugfix
912 * Refactor mbedtls_aes_context to support shallow-copying. Fixes #2147.
913 * Fix an issue with in-tree CMake builds in releases with GEN_FILES
914 turned off: if a shipped file was missing from the working directory,
915 it could be turned into a symbolic link to itself.
916 * Fix a long-standing build failure when building x86 PIC code with old
917 gcc (4.x). The code will be slower, but will compile. We do however
918 recommend upgrading to a more recent compiler instead. Fixes #1910.
919 * Fix support for little-endian Microblaze when MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM is defined.
920 Contributed by Kazuyuki Kimura to fix #2020.
921 * Use double quotes to include private header file psa_crypto_cipher.h.
922 Fixes 'file not found with <angled> include' error
923 when building with Xcode.
924 * Fix handling of broken symlinks when loading certificates using
925 mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path(). Instead of returning an error as soon as a
926 broken link is encountered, skip the broken link and continue parsing
927 other certificate files. Contributed by Eduardo Silva in #2602.
928 * Fix an interoperability failure between an Mbed TLS client with both
929 TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 support, and a TLS 1.2 server that supports
930 rsa_pss_rsae_* signature algorithms. This failed because Mbed TLS
931 advertised support for PSS in both TLS 1.2 and 1.3, but only
932 actually supported PSS in TLS 1.3.
933 * Fix a compilation error when using CMake with an IAR toolchain.
934 Fixes #5964.
935 * Fix a build error due to a missing prototype warning when
936 MBEDTLS_DEPRECATED_REMOVED is enabled.
937 * Fix mbedtls_ctr_drbg_free() on an initialized but unseeded context. When
938 MBEDTLS_AES_ALT is enabled, it could call mbedtls_aes_free() on an
939 uninitialized context.
940 * Fix a build issue on Windows using CMake where the source and build
941 directories could not be on different drives. Fixes #5751.
942 * Fix bugs and missing dependencies when building and testing
943 configurations with only one encryption type enabled in TLS 1.2.
944 * Provide the missing definition of mbedtls_setbuf() in some configurations
945 with MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_C disabled. Fixes #6118, #6196.
946 * Fix compilation errors when trying to build with
947 PSA drivers for AEAD (GCM, CCM, Chacha20-Poly1305).
948 * Fix memory leak in ssl_parse_certificate_request() caused by
949 mbedtls_x509_get_name() not freeing allocated objects in case of error.
950 Change mbedtls_x509_get_name() to clean up allocated objects on error.
951 * Fix build failure with MBEDTLS_RSA_C and MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C but not
952 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO or MBEDTLS_PK_WRITE_C. Fixes #6408.
953 * Fix build failure with MBEDTLS_RSA_C and MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C but not
954 MBEDTLS_PK_PARSE_C. Fixes #6409.
955 * Fix ECDSA verification, where it was not always validating the
956 public key. This bug meant that it was possible to verify a
957 signature with an invalid public key, in some cases. Reported by
958 Guido Vranken using Cryptofuzz in #4420.
959 * Fix a possible null pointer dereference if a memory allocation fails
960 in TLS PRF code. Reported by Michael Madsen in #6516.
961 * Fix TLS 1.3 session resumption. Fixes #6488.
962 * Add a configuration check to exclude optional client authentication
963 in TLS 1.3 (where it is forbidden).
964 * Fix a bug in which mbedtls_x509_crt_info() would produce non-printable
965 bytes when parsing certificates containing a binary RFC 4108
966 HardwareModuleName as a Subject Alternative Name extension. Hardware
967 serial numbers are now rendered in hex format. Fixes #6262.
968 * Fix bug in error reporting in dh_genprime.c where upon failure,
969 the error code returned by mbedtls_mpi_write_file() is overwritten
970 and therefore not printed.
971 * In the bignum module, operations of the form (-A) - (+A) or (-A) - (-A)
972 with A > 0 created an unintended representation of the value 0 which was
973 not processed correctly by some bignum operations. Fix this. This had no
974 consequence on cryptography code, but might affect applications that call
975 bignum directly and use negative numbers.
976 * Fix a bug whereby the list of signature algorithms sent as part of
977 the TLS 1.2 server certificate request would get corrupted, meaning the
978 first algorithm would not get sent and an entry consisting of two random
979 bytes would be sent instead. Found by Serban Bejan and Dudek Sebastian.
980 * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) of
981 mbedtls_mpi_add_mpi(), mbedtls_mpi_add_abs() and mbedtls_mpi_add_int()
982 when both operands are 0 and the left operand is represented with 0 limbs.
983 * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) when some bignum
984 functions receive the most negative value of mbedtls_mpi_sint. Credit
985 to OSS-Fuzz. Fixes #6597.
986 * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) in PSA ECB
987 encryption and decryption.
988 * Move some SSL-specific code out of libmbedcrypto where it had been placed
989 accidentally.
990 * Fix a build error when compiling the bignum module for some Arm platforms.
991 Fixes #6089, #6124, #6217.
992
993Changes
994 * Add the ability to query PSA_WANT_xxx macros to query_compile_time_config.
995 * Calling AEAD tag-specific functions for non-AEAD algorithms (which
996 should not be done - they are documented for use only by AES-GCM and
997 ChaCha20+Poly1305) now returns MBEDTLS_ERR_CIPHER_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE
998 instead of success (0).

1007Default behavior changes
1008 * mbedtls_cipher_set_iv will now fail with ChaCha20 and ChaCha20+Poly1305
1009 for IV lengths other than 12. The library was silently overwriting this
1010 length with 12, but did not inform the caller about it. Fixes #4301.
1011
1012Requirement changes
1013 * The library will no longer compile out of the box on a platform without
1014 setbuf(). If your platform does not have setbuf(), you can configure an
1015 alternative function by enabling MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETBUF_ALT or
1016 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETBUF_MACRO.
1017
1018New deprecations
1019 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version() and
1020 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version() in favor of
1021 mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_tls_version() and
1022 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_tls_version().
1023 * Deprecate mbedtls_cipher_setup_psa(). Use psa_aead_xxx() or
1024 psa_cipher_xxx() directly instead.
1025 * Secure element drivers enabled by MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C are deprecated.
1026 This was intended as an experimental feature, but had not been explicitly
1027 documented as such. Use opaque drivers with the interface enabled by
1028 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVERS instead.
1029 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_hashes() in favor of the more generic
1030 mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_algs(). Signature algorithms for the TLS 1.2 and
1031 TLS 1.3 handshake should now be configured with
1032 mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_algs().
1033
1034Features
1035 * Add accessor to obtain ciphersuite id from ssl context.
1036 * Add accessors to get members from ciphersuite info.
1037 * Add mbedtls_ssl_ticket_rotate() for external ticket rotation.
1038 * Add accessor to get the raw buffer pointer from a PEM context.
1039 * The structures mbedtls_ssl_config and mbedtls_ssl_context now store
1040 a piece of user data which is reserved for the application. The user
1041 data can be either a pointer or an integer.
1042 * Add an accessor function to get the configuration associated with
1043 an SSL context.
1044 * Add a function to access the protocol version from an SSL context in a
1045 form that's easy to compare. Fixes #5407.
1046 * Add function mbedtls_md_info_from_ctx() to recall the message digest
1047 information that was used to set up a message digest context.
1048 * Add ALPN support in TLS 1.3 clients.
1049 * Add server certificate selection callback near end of Client Hello.
1050 Register callback with mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_cb().
1051 * Provide mechanism to reset handshake cert list by calling
1052 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_own_cert() with NULL value for own_cert param.
1053 * Add accessor mbedtls_ssl_get_hs_sni() to retrieve SNI from within
1054 cert callback (mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_cb()) during handshake.
1055 * The X.509 module now uses PSA hash acceleration if present.
1056 * Add support for psa crypto key derivation for elliptic curve
1057 keys. Fixes #3260.
1058 * Add function mbedtls_timing_get_final_delay() to access the private
1059 final delay field in an mbedtls_timing_delay_context, as requested in
1060 #5183.
1061 * Add mbedtls_pk_sign_ext() which allows generating RSA-PSS signatures when
1062 PSA Crypto is enabled.
1063 * Add function mbedtls_ecp_export() to export ECP key pair parameters.
1064 Fixes #4838.
1065 * Add function mbedtls_ssl_is_handshake_over() to enable querying if the SSL
1066 Handshake has completed or not, and thus whether to continue calling
1067 mbedtls_ssl_handshake_step(), requested in #4383.
1068 * Add the function mbedtls_ssl_get_own_cid() to access our own connection id
1069 within mbedtls_ssl_context, as requested in #5184.
1070 * Introduce mbedtls_ssl_hs_cb_t typedef for use with
1071 mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_cb() and perhaps future callbacks
1072 during TLS handshake.
1073 * Add functions mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_tls_version() and
1074 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_tls_version() that use a single value to specify
1075 the protocol version.
1076 * Extend the existing PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS() algorithm to support
1077 mixed-PSK. Add an optional input PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_OTHER_SECRET
1078 holding the other secret.
1079 * When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is enabled, you may list the PSA crypto
1080 feature requirements in the file named by the new macro
1081 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG_FILE instead of the default psa/crypto_config.h.
1082 Furthermore you may name an additional file to include after the main
1083 file with the macro MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_USER_CONFIG_FILE.
1084 * Add the function mbedtls_x509_crt_has_ext_type() to access the ext types
1085 field within mbedtls_x509_crt context, as requested in #5585.
1086 * Add HKDF-Expand and HKDF-Extract as separate algorithms in the PSA API.
1087 * Add support for the ARMv8 SHA-2 acceleration instructions when building
1088 for Aarch64.
1089 * Add support for authentication of TLS 1.3 clients by TLS 1.3 servers.
1090 * Add support for server HelloRetryRequest message. The TLS 1.3 client is
1091 now capable of negotiating another shared secret if the one sent in its
1092 first ClientHello was not suitable to the server.
1093 * Add support for client-side TLS version negotiation. If both TLS 1.2 and
1094 TLS 1.3 protocols are enabled in the build of Mbed TLS, the TLS client now
1095 negotiates TLS 1.3 or TLS 1.2 with TLS servers.
1096 * Enable building of Mbed TLS with TLS 1.3 protocol support but without TLS
1097 1.2 protocol support.
1098 * Mbed TLS provides an implementation of a TLS 1.3 server (ephemeral key
1099 establishment only). See docs/architecture/tls13-support.md for a
1100 description of the support. The MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3 and
1101 MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_C configuration options control this.
1102 * Add accessors to configure DN hints for certificate request:
1103 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dn_hints() and mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_dn_hints()
1104 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO, which previously
1105 affected only a limited subset of crypto operations in TLS, X.509 and PK,
1106 now causes most of them to be done using PSA Crypto; see
1107 docs/use-psa-crypto.md for the list of exceptions.
1108 * The function mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque() now supports RSA key pairs as well.
1109 Opaque keys can now be used everywhere a private key is expected in the
1110 TLS and X.509 modules.
1111 * Opaque pre-shared keys for TLS, provisioned with
1112 mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk_opaque() or mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk_opaque(), which
1113 previously only worked for "pure" PSK key exchange, now can also be used
1114 for the "mixed" PSK key exchanges as well: ECDHE-PSK, DHE-PSK, RSA-PSK.
1115 * cmake now detects if it is being built as a sub-project, and in that case
1116 disables the target export/installation and package configuration.
1117 * Make USE_PSA_CRYPTO compatible with KEY_ID_ENCODES_OWNER. Fixes #5259.
1118 * Add example programs cipher_aead_demo.c, md_hmac_demo.c, aead_demo.c
1119 and hmac_demo.c, which use PSA and the md/cipher interfaces side
1120 by side in order to illustrate how the operation is performed in PSA.
1121 Addresses #5208.

1124 * Zeroize dynamically-allocated buffers used by the PSA Crypto key storage
1125 module before freeing them. These buffers contain secret key material, and
1126 could thus potentially leak the key through freed heap.
1127 * Fix potential memory leak inside mbedtls_ssl_cache_set() with
1128 an invalid session id length.
1129 * Add the platform function mbedtls_setbuf() to allow buffering to be
1130 disabled on stdio files, to stop secrets loaded from said files being
1131 potentially left in memory after file operations. Reported by
1132 Glenn Strauss.
1133 * Fix a potential heap buffer overread in TLS 1.2 server-side when
1134 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled, an opaque key (created with
1135 mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque()) is provisioned, and a static ECDH ciphersuite
1136 is selected. This may result in an application crash or potentially an
1137 information leak.
1138 * Fix a buffer overread in DTLS ClientHello parsing in servers with
1139 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE enabled. An unauthenticated client
1140 or a man-in-the-middle could cause a DTLS server to read up to 255 bytes
1141 after the end of the SSL input buffer. The buffer overread only happens
1142 when MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN is less than a threshold that depends on
1143 the exact configuration: 258 bytes if using mbedtls_ssl_cookie_check(),
1144 and possibly up to 571 bytes with a custom cookie check function.
1145 Reported by the Cybeats PSI Team.
1146 * Fix a buffer overread in TLS 1.3 Certificate parsing. An unauthenticated
1147 client or server could cause an MbedTLS server or client to overread up
1148 to 64 kBytes of data and potentially overread the input buffer by that
1149 amount minus the size of the input buffer. As overread data undergoes
1150 various checks, the likelihood of reaching the boundary of the input
1151 buffer is rather small but increases as its size
1152 MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN decreases.
1153 * Fix check of certificate key usage in TLS 1.3. The usage of the public key
1154 provided by a client or server certificate for authentication was not
1155 checked properly when validating the certificate. This could cause a
1156 client or server to be able to authenticate itself through a certificate
1157 to an Mbed TLS TLS 1.3 server or client while it does not own a proper
1158 certificate to do so.
1159
1160Bugfix
1161 * Declare or use PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG following the general
1162 pattern for PSA_WANT_xxx symbols. Previously you had to specify
1163 PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM for PSA_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG.
1164 * Fix a memory leak if mbedtls_ssl_config_defaults() is called twice.
1165 * Fixed swap of client and server random bytes when exporting them alongside
1166 TLS 1.3 handshake and application traffic secret.
1167 * Fix several bugs (warnings, compiler and linker errors, test failures)
1168 in reduced configurations when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
1169 * Fix a bug in (D)TLS curve negotiation: when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO was
1170 enabled and an ECDHE-ECDSA or ECDHE-RSA key exchange was used, the
1171 client would fail to check that the curve selected by the server for
1172 ECDHE was indeed one that was offered. As a result, the client would
1173 accept any curve that it supported, even if that curve was not allowed
1174 according to its configuration. Fixes #5291.
1175 * The TLS 1.3 implementation is now compatible with the
1176 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO configuration option.
1177 * Fix unit tests that used 0 as the file UID. This failed on some
1178 implementations of PSA ITS. Fixes #3838.
1179 * Fix mbedtls_ssl_get_version() not reporting TLSv1.3. Fixes #5406.
1180 * Fix API violation in mbedtls_md_process() test by adding a call to
1181 mbedtls_md_starts(). Fixes #2227.
1182 * Fix compile errors when MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME is not defined. Add tests
1183 to catch bad uses of time.h.
1184 * Fix a race condition in out-of-source builds with CMake when generated data
1185 files are already present. Fixes #5374.
1186 * Fix the library search path when building a shared library with CMake
1187 on Windows.
1188 * Fix bug in the alert sending function mbedtls_ssl_send_alert_message()
1189 potentially leading to corrupted alert messages being sent in case
1190 the function needs to be re-called after initially returning
1191 MBEDTLS_SSL_WANT_WRITE. Fixes #1916.
1192 * In configurations with MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID enabled but not
1193 MBEDTLS_DEBUG_C, DTLS handshakes using CID would crash due to a null
1194 pointer dereference. Fix this. Fixes #3998.
1195 The fix was released, but not announced, in Mbed TLS 3.1.0.
1196 * Fix incorrect documentation of mbedtls_x509_crt_profile. The previous
1197 documentation stated that the `allowed_pks` field applies to signatures
1198 only, but in fact it does apply to the public key type of the end entity
1199 certificate, too. Fixes #1992.
1200 * Fix undefined behavior in mbedtls_asn1_find_named_data(), where val is
1201 not NULL and val_len is zero.
1202 * Fix compilation error with mingw32. Fixed by Cameron Cawley in #4211.
1203 * Fix compilation error when using C++ Builder on Windows. Reported by
1204 Miroslav Mastny in #4015.
1205 * psa_raw_key_agreement() now returns PSA_ERROR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL when
1206 applicable. Fixes #5735.
1207 * Fix a bug in the x25519 example program where the removal of
1208 MBEDTLS_ECDH_LEGACY_CONTEXT caused the program not to run. Fixes #4901 and
1209 #3191.
1210 * Fix a TLS 1.3 handshake failure when the peer Finished message has not
1211 been received yet when we first try to fetch it.
1212 * Encode X.509 dates before 1/1/2000 as UTCTime rather than
1213 GeneralizedTime. Fixes #5465.
1214 * Add mbedtls_x509_dn_get_next function to return the next relative DN in
1215 an X509 name, to allow walking the name list. Fixes #5431.
1216 * Fix order value of curve x448.
1217 * Fix string representation of DNs when outputting values containing commas
1218 and other special characters, conforming to RFC 1779. Fixes #769.
1219 * Silence a warning from GCC 12 in the selftest program. Fixes #5974.
1220 * Fix check_config.h to check that we have MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE
1221 when MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3 is specified, and make this and other
1222 dependencies explicit in the documentation. Fixes #5610.
1223 * Fix mbedtls_asn1_write_mpi() writing an incorrect encoding of 0.
1224 * Fix a TLS 1.3 handshake failure when the first attempt to send the client
1225 Finished message on the network cannot be satisfied. Fixes #5499.
1226 * Fix resource leaks in mbedtls_pk_parse_public_key() in low
1227 memory conditions.
1228 * Fix server connection identifier setting for outgoing encrypted records
1229 on DTLS 1.2 session resumption. After DTLS 1.2 session resumption with
1230 connection identifier, the Mbed TLS client now properly sends the server
1231 connection identifier in encrypted record headers. Fix #5872.
1232 * Fix a null pointer dereference when performing some operations on zero
1233 represented with 0 limbs (specifically mbedtls_mpi_mod_int() dividing
1234 by 2, and mbedtls_mpi_write_string() in base 2).
1235 * Fix record sizes larger than 16384 being sometimes accepted despite being
1236 non-compliant. This could not lead to a buffer overflow. In particular,
1237 application data size was already checked correctly.
1238 * Fix MBEDTLS_SVC_KEY_ID_GET_KEY_ID() and MBEDTLS_SVC_KEY_ID_GET_OWNER_ID()
1239 which have been broken, resulting in compilation errors, since Mbed TLS
1240 3.0.
1241 * Ensure that TLS 1.2 ciphersuite/certificate and key selection takes into
1242 account not just the type of the key (RSA vs EC) but also what it can
1243 actually do. Resolves #5831.
1244 * Fix CMake windows host detection, especially when cross compiling.
1245 * Fix an error in make where the absence of a generated file caused
1246 make to break on a clean checkout. Fixes #5340.
1247 * Work around an MSVC ARM64 compiler bug causing incorrect behaviour
1248 in mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod(). Reported by Tautvydas Žilys in #5467.
Dave Rodgman2b52a2e2022-12-12 15:23:44 +00001249 * Removed the prompt to exit from all windows build programs, which was causing
Paul Elliott2238eed2022-07-08 18:19:12 +01001250 issues in CI/CD environments.
1251
1252Changes
1253 * The file library/psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.c is now generated
1254 from a template. In the future, the generation will support
1255 driver descriptions. For the time being, to customize this file,
1256 see docs/proposed/psa-driver-wrappers-codegen-migration-guide.md
1257 * Return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT if the algorithm passed to one-shot
1258 AEAD functions is not an AEAD algorithm. This aligns them with the
1259 multipart functions, and the PSA Crypto API 1.1 specification.
1260 * In mbedtls_pk_parse_key(), if no password is provided, don't allocate a
1261 temporary variable on the heap. Suggested by Sergey Kanatov in #5304.
1262 * Assume source files are in UTF-8 when using MSVC with CMake.
1263 * Fix runtime library install location when building with CMake and MinGW.
1264 DLLs are now installed in the bin directory instead of lib.
1265 * cmake: Use GnuInstallDirs to customize install directories
1266 Replace custom LIB_INSTALL_DIR variable with standard CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR
1267 variable. For backward compatibility, set CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR if
1268 LIB_INSTALL_DIR is set.
1269 * Add a CMake option that enables static linking of the runtime library
1270 in Microsoft Visual C++ compiler. Contributed by Microplankton.
1271 * In CMake builds, add aliases for libraries so that the normal MbedTLS::*
1272 targets work when MbedTLS is built as a subdirectory. This allows the
1273 use of FetchContent, as requested in #5688.

Ronald Cron831cf482021-12-15 09:02:38 +01001276
1277API changes
1278 * New error code for GCM: MBEDTLS_ERR_GCM_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL.
1279 Alternative GCM implementations are expected to verify
1280 the length of the provided output buffers and to return the
1281 MBEDTLS_ERR_GCM_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL in case the buffer length is too small.
1282 * You can configure groups for a TLS key exchange with the new function
1283 mbedtls_ssl_conf_groups(). It extends mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves().
1284 * Declare a number of structure fields as public: the fields of
1285 mbedtls_ecp_curve_info, the fields describing the result of ASN.1 and
1286 X.509 parsing, and finally the field fd of mbedtls_net_context on
1287 POSIX/Unix-like platforms.
1288
1289Requirement changes
1290 * Sign-magnitude and one's complement representations for signed integers are
1291 not supported. Two's complement is the only supported representation.
1292
1293New deprecations
1294 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves() in favor of the more generic
1295 mbedtls_ssl_conf_groups().
1296
1297Removals
1298 * Remove the partial support for running unit tests via Greentea on Mbed OS,
1299 which had been unmaintained since 2018.
1300
1301Features
1302 * Enable support for Curve448 via the PSA API. Contributed by
1303 Archana Madhavan in #4626. Fixes #3399 and #4249.
1304 * The identifier of the CID TLS extension can be configured by defining
1305 MBEDTLS_TLS_EXT_CID at compile time.
1306 * Implement the PSA multipart AEAD interface, currently supporting
1307 ChaChaPoly and GCM.
1308 * Warn if errors from certain functions are ignored. This is currently
1309 supported on GCC-like compilers and on MSVC and can be configured through
1310 the macro MBEDTLS_CHECK_RETURN. The warnings are always enabled
1311 (where supported) for critical functions where ignoring the return
1312 value is almost always a bug. Enable the new configuration option
1313 MBEDTLS_CHECK_RETURN_WARNING to get warnings for other functions. This
1314 is currently implemented in the AES, DES and md modules, and will be
1315 extended to other modules in the future.
1316 * Add missing PSA macros declared by PSA Crypto API 1.0.0:
1317 PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH, PSA_ALG_NONE, PSA_HASH_BLOCK_LENGTH, PSA_KEY_ID_NULL.
1318 * Add support for CCM*-no-tag cipher to the PSA.
1319 Currently only 13-byte long IV's are supported.
1320 For decryption a minimum of 16-byte long input is expected.
1321 These restrictions may be subject to change.
Ronald Cron1ffa6a52021-12-14 15:57:17 +01001322 * Add new API mbedtls_ct_memcmp for constant time buffer comparison.
Ronald Cron831cf482021-12-15 09:02:38 +01001323 * Add functions to get the IV and block size from cipher_info structs.
1324 * Add functions to check if a cipher supports variable IV or key size.
1325 * Add the internal implementation of and support for CCM to the PSA multipart
1326 AEAD interface.
1327 * Mbed TLS provides a minimum viable implementation of the TLS 1.3
1328 protocol. See docs/architecture/tls13-support.md for the definition of
1329 the TLS 1.3 Minimum Viable Product (MVP). The MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3
1330 configuration option controls the enablement of the support. The APIs
1331 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version() and mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version() allow
1332 to select the 1.3 version of the protocol to establish a TLS connection.
1333 * Add PSA API definition for ARIA.
1334
1335Security
1336 * Zeroize several intermediate variables used to calculate the expected
1337 value when verifying a MAC or AEAD tag. This hardens the library in
1338 case the value leaks through a memory disclosure vulnerability. For
1339 example, a memory disclosure vulnerability could have allowed a
1340 man-in-the-middle to inject fake ciphertext into a DTLS connection.
1341 * In psa_aead_generate_nonce(), do not read back from the output buffer.
1342 This fixes a potential policy bypass or decryption oracle vulnerability
1343 if the output buffer is in memory that is shared with an untrusted
1344 application.
1345 * In psa_cipher_generate_iv() and psa_cipher_encrypt(), do not read back
1346 from the output buffer. This fixes a potential policy bypass or decryption
1347 oracle vulnerability if the output buffer is in memory that is shared with
1348 an untrusted application.
1349 * Fix a double-free that happened after mbedtls_ssl_set_session() or
1350 mbedtls_ssl_get_session() failed with MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_ALLOC_FAILED
1351 (out of memory). After that, calling mbedtls_ssl_session_free()
1352 and mbedtls_ssl_free() would cause an internal session buffer to
1353 be free()'d twice.
1354
1355Bugfix
1356 * Stop using reserved identifiers as local variables. Fixes #4630.
1357 * The GNU makefiles invoke python3 in preference to python except on Windows.
1358 The check was accidentally not performed when cross-compiling for Windows
1359 on Linux. Fix this. Fixes #4774.
1360 * Prevent divide by zero if either of PSA_CIPHER_ENCRYPT_OUTPUT_SIZE() or
1361 PSA_CIPHER_UPDATE_OUTPUT_SIZE() were called using an asymmetric key type.
1362 * Fix a parameter set but unused in psa_crypto_cipher.c. Fixes #4935.
1363 * Don't use the obsolete header path sys/fcntl.h in unit tests.
1364 These header files cause compilation errors in musl.
1365 Fixes #4969.
1366 * Fix missing constraints on x86_64 and aarch64 assembly code
1367 for bignum multiplication that broke some bignum operations with
1368 (at least) Clang 12.
1369 Fixes #4116, #4786, #4917, #4962.
1370 * Fix mbedtls_cipher_crypt: AES-ECB when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
1371 * Failures of alternative implementations of AES or DES single-block
1372 functions enabled with MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT_ALT, MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT_ALT,
1373 MBEDTLS_DES_CRYPT_ECB_ALT or MBEDTLS_DES3_CRYPT_ECB_ALT were ignored.
1374 This does not concern the implementation provided with Mbed TLS,
1375 where this function cannot fail, or full-module replacements with
1376 MBEDTLS_AES_ALT or MBEDTLS_DES_ALT. Reported by Armelle Duboc in #1092.
1377 * Some failures of HMAC operations were ignored. These failures could only
1378 happen with an alternative implementation of the underlying hash module.
1379 * Fix the error returned by psa_generate_key() for a public key. Fixes #4551.
1380 * Fix compile-time or run-time errors in PSA
1381 AEAD functions when ChachaPoly is disabled. Fixes #5065.
1382 * Remove PSA'a AEAD finish/verify output buffer limitation for GCM.
1383 The requirement of minimum 15 bytes for output buffer in
1384 psa_aead_finish() and psa_aead_verify() does not apply to the built-in
1385 implementation of GCM.
1386 * Move GCM's update output buffer length verification from PSA AEAD to
1387 the built-in implementation of the GCM.
1388 The requirement for output buffer size to be equal or greater then
1389 input buffer size is valid only for the built-in implementation of GCM.
1390 Alternative GCM implementations can process whole blocks only.
1391 * Fix the build of sample programs when neither MBEDTLS_ERROR_C nor
1392 MBEDTLS_ERROR_STRERROR_DUMMY is enabled.
1393 * Fix PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS verification accepting an arbitrary salt length.
1394 This algorithm now accepts only the same salt length for verification
1395 that it produces when signing, as documented. Use the new algorithm
1396 PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS_ANY_SALT to accept any salt length. Fixes #4946.
1397 * The existing predicate macro name PSA_ALG_IS_HASH_AND_SIGN is now reserved
1398 for algorithm values that fully encode the hashing step, as per the PSA
1399 Crypto API specification. This excludes PSA_ALG_RSA_PKCS1V15_SIGN_RAW and
1400 PSA_ALG_ECDSA_ANY. The new predicate macro PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH covers
1401 all algorithms that can be used with psa_{sign,verify}_hash(), including
1402 these two.
1403 * Fix issue in Makefile on Linux with SHARED=1, that caused shared libraries
1404 not to list other shared libraries they need.
Ronald Cron1ffa6a52021-12-14 15:57:17 +01001405 * Fix a bug in mbedtls_gcm_starts() when the bit length of the iv
1406 exceeds 2^32. Fixes #4884.
Ronald Cron831cf482021-12-15 09:02:38 +01001407 * Fix an uninitialized variable warning in test_suite_ssl.function with GCC
1408 version 11.
1409 * Fix the build when no SHA2 module is included. Fixes #4930.
1410 * Fix the build when only the bignum module is included. Fixes #4929.
1411 * Fix a potential invalid pointer dereference and infinite loop bugs in
1412 pkcs12 functions when the password is empty. Fix the documentation to
1413 better describe the inputs to these functions and their possible values.
1414 Fixes #5136.
1415 * The key usage flags PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_MESSAGE now allows the MAC
1416 operations psa_mac_compute() and psa_mac_sign_setup().
1417 * The key usage flags PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_MESSAGE now allows the MAC
1418 operations psa_mac_verify() and psa_mac_verify_setup().
1419
1420Changes
1421 * Explicitly mark the fields mbedtls_ssl_session.exported and
1422 mbedtls_ssl_config.respect_cli_pref as private. This was an
1423 oversight during the run-up to the release of Mbed TLS 3.0.
1424 The fields were never intended to be public.
1425 * Implement multi-part CCM API.
1426 The multi-part functions: mbedtls_ccm_starts(), mbedtls_ccm_set_lengths(),
1427 mbedtls_ccm_update_ad(), mbedtls_ccm_update(), mbedtls_ccm_finish()
1428 were introduced in mbedTLS 3.0 release, however their implementation was
1429 postponed until now.
1430 Implemented functions support chunked data input for both CCM and CCM*
1431 algorithms.
1432 * Remove MBEDTLS_SSL_EXPORT_KEYS, making it always on and increasing the
1433 code size by about 80B on an M0 build. This option only gated an ability
1434 to set a callback, but was deemed unnecessary as it was yet another define
1435 to remember when writing tests, or test configurations. Fixes #4653.
1436 * Improve the performance of base64 constant-flow code. The result is still
1437 slower than the original non-constant-flow implementation, but much faster
1438 than the previous constant-flow implementation. Fixes #4814.
1439 * Ignore plaintext/ciphertext lengths for CCM*-no-tag operations.
1440 For CCM* encryption/decryption without authentication, input
1441 length will be ignored.
1442 * Indicate in the error returned if the nonce length used with
1443 ChaCha20-Poly1305 is invalid, and not just unsupported.
Ronald Cron1ffa6a52021-12-14 15:57:17 +01001444 * The mbedcrypto library includes a new source code module constant_time.c,
1445 containing various functions meant to resist timing side channel attacks.
1446 This module does not have a separate configuration option, and functions
1447 from this module will be included in the build as required. Currently
1448 most of the interface of this module is private and may change at any
1449 time.
1450 * The generated configuration-independent files are now automatically
1451 generated by the CMake build system on Unix-like systems. This is not
1452 yet supported when cross-compiling.

1456API changes
1457 * Remove HAVEGE module.
1458 The design of HAVEGE makes it unsuitable for microcontrollers. Platforms
1459 with a more complex CPU usually have an operating system interface that
1460 provides better randomness. Instead of HAVEGE, declare OS or hardware RNG
1461 interfaces with mbedtls_entropy_add_source() and/or use an entropy seed
1462 file created securely during device provisioning. See
Dave Rodgmanb3196842022-10-12 16:47:08 +01001463 https://mbed-tls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kb/how-to/add-entropy-sources-to-entropy-pool/ for
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +01001464 more information.
1465 * Add missing const attributes to API functions.
1466 * Remove helpers for the transition from Mbed TLS 1.3 to Mbed TLS 2.0: the
1467 header compat-1.3.h and the script rename.pl.
1468 * Remove certs module from the API.
1469 Transfer keys and certificates embedded in the library to the test
1470 component. This contributes to minimizing library API and discourages
1471 users from using unsafe keys in production.
1472 * Move alt helpers and definitions.
1473 Various helpers and definitions available for use in alt implementations
1474 have been moved out of the include/ directory and into the library/
1475 directory. The files concerned are ecp_internal.h and rsa_internal.h
Gilles Peskine6a2fb612021-05-24 22:25:04 +02001476 which have also been renamed to ecp_internal_alt.h and rsa_alt_helpers.h
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +01001477 respectively.
1478 * Move internal headers.
1479 Header files that were only meant for the library's internal use and
1480 were not meant to be used in application code have been moved out of
1481 the include/ directory. The headers concerned are bn_mul.h, aesni.h,
1482 padlock.h, entropy_poll.h and *_internal.h.
1483 * Drop support for parsing SSLv2 ClientHello
1484 (MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_SUPPORT_SSLV2_CLIENT_HELLO).
1485 * Drop support for SSLv3 (MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_SSL3).
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +01001486 * Drop support for TLS record-level compression (MBEDTLS_ZLIB_SUPPORT).
1487 * Drop support for RC4 TLS ciphersuites.
1488 * Drop support for single-DES ciphersuites.
1489 * Drop support for MBEDTLS_SSL_HW_RECORD_ACCEL.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001490 * Update AEAD output size macros to bring them in line with the PSA Crypto
1491 API version 1.0 spec. This version of the spec parameterizes them on the
1492 key type used, as well as the key bit-size in the case of
1493 PSA_AEAD_TAG_LENGTH.
1494 * Add configuration option MBEDTLS_X509_REMOVE_INFO which
1495 removes the mbedtls_x509_*_info(), mbedtls_debug_print_crt()
1496 as well as other functions and constants only used by
1497 those functions. This reduces the code footprint by
1498 several kB.
1499 * Remove SSL error codes `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CERTIFICATE_REQUIRED`
1500 and `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_INVALID_VERIFY_HASH` which are never
1501 returned from the public SSL API.
1502 * Remove `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CERTIFICATE_TOO_LARGE` and return
1503 `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL` instead.
Dave Rodgman814b0992021-07-02 12:11:14 +01001504 * The output parameter of mbedtls_sha512_finish, mbedtls_sha512,
1505 mbedtls_sha256_finish and mbedtls_sha256 now has a pointer type
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001506 rather than array type. This removes spurious warnings in some compilers
1507 when outputting a SHA-384 or SHA-224 hash into a buffer of exactly
1508 the hash size.
1509 * Remove the MBEDTLS_TEST_NULL_ENTROPY config option. Fixes #4388.
1510 * The interface of the GCM module has changed to remove restrictions on
1511 how the input to multipart operations is broken down. mbedtls_gcm_finish()
Dave Rodgmaneaef0b72021-07-01 16:59:13 +01001512 now takes extra output parameters for the last partial output block.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001513 mbedtls_gcm_update() now takes extra parameters for the output length.
1514 The software implementation always produces the full output at each
1515 call to mbedtls_gcm_update(), but alternative implementations activated
1516 by MBEDTLS_GCM_ALT may delay partial blocks to the next call to
1517 mbedtls_gcm_update() or mbedtls_gcm_finish(). Furthermore, applications
1518 no longer pass the associated data to mbedtls_gcm_starts(), but to the
1519 new function mbedtls_gcm_update_ad().
1520 These changes are backward compatible for users of the cipher API.
1521 * Replace MBEDTLS_SHA512_NO_SHA384 config option with MBEDTLS_SHA384_C.
1522 This separates config option enabling the SHA384 algorithm from option
1523 enabling the SHA512 algorithm. Fixes #4034.
1524 * Introduce MBEDTLS_SHA224_C.
1525 This separates config option enabling the SHA224 algorithm from option
1526 enabling SHA256.
Dave Rodgman745e3582021-07-05 18:53:31 +01001527 * The getter and setter API of the SSL session cache (used for
1528 session-ID based session resumption) has changed to that of
1529 a key-value store with keys being session IDs and values
1530 being opaque instances of `mbedtls_ssl_session`.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001531 * Remove the mode parameter from RSA operation functions. Signature and
1532 decryption functions now always use the private key and verification and
1533 encryption use the public key. Verification functions also no longer have
1534 RNG parameters.
Dave Rodgman745e3582021-07-05 18:53:31 +01001535 * Modify semantics of `mbedtls_ssl_conf_[opaque_]psk()`:
1536 In Mbed TLS 2.X, the API prescribes that later calls overwrite
1537 the effect of earlier calls. In Mbed TLS 3.0, calling
1538 `mbedtls_ssl_conf_[opaque_]psk()` more than once will fail,
1539 leaving the PSK that was configured first intact.
1540 Support for more than one PSK may be added in 3.X.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001541 * The function mbedtls_x509write_csr_set_extension() has an extra parameter
1542 which allows to mark an extension as critical. Fixes #4055.
1543 * For multi-part AEAD operations with the cipher module, calling
1544 mbedtls_cipher_finish() is now mandatory. Previously the documentation
1545 was unclear on this point, and this function happened to never do
1546 anything with the currently implemented AEADs, so in practice it was
1547 possible to skip calling it, which is no longer supported.
1548 * The option MBEDTLS_ECP_FIXED_POINT_OPTIM use pre-computed comb tables
1549 instead of computing tables in runtime. Thus, this option now increase
1550 code size, and it does not increase RAM usage in runtime anymore.
1551 * Remove the SSL APIs mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() and
1552 mbedtls_ssl_get_output_max_frag_len(), and add a new API
1553 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_in_record_payload(), complementing the existing
1554 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_out_record_payload().
1555 Uses of mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() and
1556 mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() should be replaced by
1557 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_in_record_payload() and
1558 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_out_record_payload(), respectively.
1559 * mbedtls_rsa_init() now always selects the PKCS#1v1.5 encoding for an RSA
1560 key. To use an RSA key with PSS or OAEP, call mbedtls_rsa_set_padding()
1561 after initializing the context. mbedtls_rsa_set_padding() now returns an
1562 error if its parameters are invalid.
Dave Rodgman745e3582021-07-05 18:53:31 +01001563 * Replace MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_RESPECT_CLIENT_PREFERENCE by a runtime
1564 configuration function mbedtls_ssl_conf_preference_order(). Fixes #4398.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001565 * Instead of accessing the len field of a DHM context, which is no longer
1566 supported, use the new function mbedtls_dhm_get_len() .
1567 * In modules that implement cryptographic hash functions, many functions
1568 mbedtls_xxx() now return int instead of void, and the corresponding
1569 function mbedtls_xxx_ret() which was identical except for returning int
1570 has been removed. This also concerns mbedtls_xxx_drbg_update(). See the
1571 migration guide for more information. Fixes #4212.
1572 * For all functions that take a random number generator (RNG) as a
1573 parameter, this parameter is now mandatory (that is, NULL is not an
1574 acceptable value). Functions which previously accepted NULL and now
1575 reject it are: the X.509 CRT and CSR writing functions; the PK and RSA
1576 sign and decrypt function; mbedtls_rsa_private(); the functions
1577 in DHM and ECDH that compute the shared secret; the scalar multiplication
1578 functions in ECP.
1579 * The following functions now require an RNG parameter:
1580 mbedtls_ecp_check_pub_priv(), mbedtls_pk_check_pair(),
1581 mbedtls_pk_parse_key(), mbedtls_pk_parse_keyfile().
1582 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_export_keys_ext_cb() and
1583 mbedtls_ssl_conf_export_keys_cb() have been removed and
1584 replaced by a new API mbedtls_ssl_set_export_keys_cb().
1585 Raw keys and IVs are no longer passed to the callback.
1586 Further, callbacks now receive an additional parameter
1587 indicating the type of secret that's being exported,
1588 paving the way for the larger number of secrets
1589 in TLS 1.3. Finally, the key export callback and
1590 context are now connection-specific.
1591 * Signature functions in the RSA and PK modules now require the hash
1592 length parameter to be the size of the hash input. For RSA signatures
1593 other than raw PKCS#1 v1.5, this must match the output size of the
1594 specified hash algorithm.
1595 * The functions mbedtls_pk_sign(), mbedtls_pk_sign_restartable(),
1596 mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature() and
1597 mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature_restartable() now take an extra parameter
1598 indicating the size of the output buffer for the signature.
1599 * Implement one-shot cipher functions, psa_cipher_encrypt and
1600 psa_cipher_decrypt, according to the PSA Crypto API 1.0.0
1601 specification.
1602 * Direct access to fields of structures declared in public headers is no
1603 longer supported except for fields that are documented public. Use accessor
1604 functions instead. For more information, see the migration guide entry
1605 "Most structure fields are now private".
Dave Rodgman9bd03892021-07-01 16:59:49 +01001606 * mbedtls_ssl_get_session_pointer() has been removed, and
1607 mbedtls_ssl_{set,get}_session() may now only be called once for any given
1608 SSL context.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001609
1610Default behavior changes
1611 * Enable by default the functionalities which have no reason to be disabled.
1612 They are: ARIA block cipher, CMAC mode, elliptic curve J-PAKE library and
1613 Key Wrapping mode as defined in NIST SP 800-38F. Fixes #4036.
1614 * Some default policies for X.509 certificate verification and TLS have
1615 changed: curves and hashes weaker than 255 bits are no longer accepted
1616 by default. The default order in TLS now favors faster curves over larger
1617 curves.
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +01001618
1619Requirement changes
1620 * The library now uses the %zu format specifier with the printf() family of
1621 functions, so requires a toolchain that supports it. This change does not
1622 affect the maintained LTS branches, so when contributing changes please
1623 bear this in mind and do not add them to backported code.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001624 * If you build the development version of Mbed TLS, rather than an official
1625 release, some configuration-independent files are now generated at build
1626 time rather than checked into source control. This includes some library
1627 source files as well as the Visual Studio solution. Perl, Python 3 and a
1628 C compiler for the host platform are required. See “Generated source files
1629 in the development branch” in README.md for more information.
1630 * Refresh the minimum supported versions of tools to build the
1631 library. CMake versions older than 3.10.2 and Python older
1632 than 3.6 are no longer supported.
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +01001633
1634Removals
1635 * Remove the MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_CERTIFICATES
1636 compile-time option, which was off by default. Users should not trust
1637 certificates signed with SHA-1 due to the known attacks against SHA-1.
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard143b1e32021-05-05 09:46:01 +02001638 If needed, SHA-1 certificates can still be verified by using a custom
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnarde7563062021-04-26 10:08:29 +02001639 verification profile.
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +01001640 * Removed deprecated things in psa/crypto_compat.h. Fixes #4284
1641 * Removed deprecated functions from hashing modules. Fixes #4280.
1642 * Remove PKCS#11 library wrapper. PKCS#11 has limited functionality,
1643 lacks automated tests and has scarce documentation. Also, PSA Crypto
1644 provides a more flexible private key management.
1645 More details on PCKS#11 wrapper removal can be found in the mailing list
1646 https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/pipermail/mbed-tls/2020-April/000024.html
1647 * Remove deprecated error codes. Fix #4283
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001648 * Remove MBEDTLS_ENABLE_WEAK_CIPHERSUITES configuration option. Fixes #4416.
1649 * Remove the MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_CERTIFICATES
1650 compile-time option. This option has been inactive for a long time.
1651 Please use the `lifetime` parameter of `mbedtls_ssl_ticket_setup()`
1652 instead.
1653 * Remove the following deprecated functions and constants of hex-encoded
1654 primes based on RFC 5114 and RFC 3526 from library code and tests:
1655 mbedtls_aes_encrypt(), mbedtls_aes_decrypt(), mbedtls_mpi_is_prime(),
1656 mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt(), mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt(),
1657 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update(), mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update(),
1658 mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature_det(), mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det(),
1659 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param(), mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len(),
1660 MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC5114_MODP_2048_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC5114_MODP_2048_G,
1661 MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_G,
1662 MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_3072_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_3072_G,
1663 MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_4096_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_4096_G.
1664 Remove the deprecated file: include/mbedtls/net.h. Fixes #4282.
1665 * Remove MBEDTLS_SSL_MAX_CONTENT_LEN configuration option, since
1666 MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN and MBEDTLS_SSL_OUT_CONTENT_LEN replace
1667 it. Fixes #4362.
1668 * Remove the MBEDTLS_SSL_RECORD_CHECKING option and enable by default its
1669 previous action. Fixes #4361.
1670 * Remove support for TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 and DTLS 1.0, as well as support for
1671 CBC record splitting, fallback SCSV, and the ability to configure
1672 ciphersuites per version, which are no longer relevant. This removes the
1673 configuration options MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1,
1674 MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_1, MBEDTLS_SSL_CBC_RECORD_SPLITTING and
1675 MBEDTLS_SSL_FALLBACK_SCSV as well as the functions
1676 mbedtls_ssl_conf_cbc_record_splitting(),
1677 mbedtls_ssl_get_key_exchange_md_ssl_tls(), mbedtls_ssl_conf_fallback(),
1678 and mbedtls_ssl_conf_ciphersuites_for_version(). Fixes #4286.
1679 * The RSA module no longer supports private-key operations with the public
1680 key and vice versa.
1681 * Remove the MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_BADMAC_LIMIT config.h option. Fixes #4403.
1682 * Remove all the 3DES ciphersuites:
1683 MBEDTLS_TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1684 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1685 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1686 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDHE_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1687 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1688 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1689 MBEDTLS_TLS_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1690 MBEDTLS_TLS_RSA_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
1691 MBEDTLS_TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA. Remove the
1692 MBEDTLS_REMOVE_3DES_CIPHERSUITES option which is no longer relevant.
1693 Fixes #4367.
1694 * Remove the MBEDTLS_X509_ALLOW_EXTENSIONS_NON_V3 option and let the code
1695 behave as if it was always disabled. Fixes #4386.
1696 * Remove MBEDTLS_ECDH_LEGACY_CONTEXT config option since this was purely for
1697 backward compatibility which is no longer supported. Addresses #4404.
1698 * Remove the following macros: MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS,
1699 MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS_ASSERT, MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED,
1700 MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED_ALT. Fixes #4313.
1701 * Remove the MBEDTLS_X509_ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION config.h
1702 option. The mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() is the way to go for
1703 migration path. Fixes #4378.
Dave Rodgman745e3582021-07-05 18:53:31 +01001704 * Remove the MBEDTLS_X509_CHECK_KEY_USAGE and
1705 MBEDTLS_X509_CHECK_EXTENDED_KEY_USAGE config.h options and let the code
1706 behave as if they were always enabled. Fixes #4405.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001707 * MBEDTLS_ECP_MAX_BITS is no longer a configuration option because it is
1708 now determined automatically based on supported curves.
Dave Rodgman745e3582021-07-05 18:53:31 +01001709 * Remove the following functions: mbedtls_timing_self_test(),
1710 mbedtls_hardclock_poll(), mbedtls_timing_hardclock() and
1711 mbedtls_set_alarm(). Fixes #4083.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001712 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_INTERNAL_RNG has been removed as
1713 it no longer had any effect.
Dave Rodgman745e3582021-07-05 18:53:31 +01001714 * Remove all support for MD2, MD4, RC4, Blowfish and XTEA. This removes the
1715 corresponding modules and all their APIs and related configuration
1716 options. Fixes #4084.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001717 * Remove MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC and also remove
1718 MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC_COMPAT config option. Users are better served by
1719 using a CCM-8 ciphersuite than a CBC ciphersuite with truncated HMAC.
1720 See issue #4341 for more details.
1721 * Remove the compile-time option
1722 MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_KEY_EXCHANGE.
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +01001723
1724Features
1725 * Add mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pss_sign_ext() function allowing to generate a
1726 signature with a specific salt length. This function allows to validate
1727 test cases provided in the NIST's CAVP test suite. Contributed by Cédric
1728 Meuter in PR #3183.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001729 * Added support for built-in driver keys through the PSA opaque crypto
1730 driver interface. Refer to the documentation of
1731 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_BUILTIN_KEYS for more information.
1732 * Implement psa_sign_message() and psa_verify_message().
1733 * The multi-part GCM interface (mbedtls_gcm_update() or
1734 mbedtls_cipher_update()) no longer requires the size of partial inputs to
1735 be a multiple of 16.
1736 * The multi-part GCM interface now supports chunked associated data through
1737 multiple calls to mbedtls_gcm_update_ad().
1738 * The new function mbedtls_mpi_random() generates a random value in a
1739 given range uniformly.
1740 * Alternative implementations of the AES, DHM, ECJPAKE, ECP, RSA and timing
1741 modules had undocumented constraints on their context types. These
1742 constraints have been relaxed.
1743 See docs/architecture/alternative-implementations.md for the remaining
1744 constraints.
1745 * The new functions mbedtls_dhm_get_len() and mbedtls_dhm_get_bitlen()
1746 query the size of the modulus in a Diffie-Hellman context.
1747 * The new function mbedtls_dhm_get_value() copy a field out of a
1748 Diffie-Hellman context.
1749 * Use the new function mbedtls_ecjpake_set_point_format() to select the
1750 point format for ECJPAKE instead of accessing the point_format field
1751 directly, which is no longer supported.
1752 * Implement psa_mac_compute() and psa_mac_verify() as defined in the
1753 PSA Cryptograpy API 1.0.0 specification.
1754
1755Security
Dave Rodgman5b13f602021-07-05 18:09:16 +01001756 * Fix a bias in the generation of finite-field Diffie-Hellman-Merkle (DHM)
1757 private keys and of blinding values for DHM and elliptic curves (ECP)
1758 computations. Reported by FlorianF89 in #4245.
1759 * Fix a potential side channel vulnerability in ECDSA ephemeral key generation.
1760 An adversary who is capable of very precise timing measurements could
1761 learn partial information about the leading bits of the nonce used for the
1762 signature, allowing the recovery of the private key after observing a
1763 large number of signature operations. This completes a partial fix in
1764 Mbed TLS 2.20.0.
Tom Cosgroveb3c6a1e2023-03-08 15:47:00 +00001765 * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough information
1766 about memory accesses (typically, an untrusted operating system attacking
1767 a secure enclave) could recover an RSA private key after observing the
1768 victim performing a single private-key operation. Found and reported by
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001769 Zili KOU, Wenjian HE, Sharad Sinha, and Wei ZHANG.
Tom Cosgroveb3c6a1e2023-03-08 15:47:00 +00001770 * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough timing
1771 information (typically, a co-located process) could recover a Curve25519
1772 or Curve448 static ECDH key after inputting a chosen public key and
1773 observing the victim performing the corresponding private-key operation.
1774 Found and reported by Leila Batina, Lukas Chmielewski, Björn Haase, Niels
1775 Samwel and Peter Schwabe.
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +01001776
1777Bugfix
1778 * Fix premature fopen() call in mbedtls_entropy_write_seed_file which may
1779 lead to the seed file corruption in case if the path to the seed file is
1780 equal to MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_STD_NV_SEED_FILE. Contributed by Victor
1781 Krasnoshchok in #3616.
1782 * PSA functions creating a key now return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT rather
1783 than PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE when the identifier specified for the key
1784 to create is not valid, bringing them in line with version 1.0.0 of the
1785 specification. Fix #4271.
1786 * Add printf function attributes to mbedtls_debug_print_msg to ensure we
1787 get printf format specifier warnings.
1788 * PSA functions other than psa_open_key now return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE
1789 rather than PSA_ERROR_DOES_NOT_EXIST for an invalid handle, bringing them
1790 in line with version 1.0.0 of the specification. Fix #4162.
1791 * Fix a bug in ECDSA that would cause it to fail when the hash is all-bits
1792 zero. Fixes #1792
Gilles Peskinef4998b02021-06-10 15:51:54 +02001793 * Fix some cases in the bignum module where the library constructed an
1794 unintended representation of the value 0 which was not processed
1795 correctly by some bignum operations. This could happen when
1796 mbedtls_mpi_read_string() was called on "-0", or when
1797 mbedtls_mpi_mul_mpi() and mbedtls_mpi_mul_int() was called with one of
1798 the arguments being negative and the other being 0. Fixes #4643.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001799 * Fix a compilation error when MBEDTLS_ECP_RANDOMIZE_MXZ_ALT is
1800 defined. Fixes #4217.
1801 * Fix an incorrect error code when parsing a PKCS#8 private key.
1802 * In a TLS client, enforce the Diffie-Hellman minimum parameter size
1803 set with mbedtls_ssl_conf_dhm_min_bitlen() precisely. Before, the
1804 minimum size was rounded down to the nearest multiple of 8.
1805 * In library/net_sockets.c, _POSIX_C_SOURCE and _XOPEN_SOURCE are
1806 defined to specific values. If the code is used in a context
1807 where these are already defined, this can result in a compilation
1808 error. Instead, assume that if they are defined, the values will
1809 be adequate to build Mbed TLS.
1810 * With MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C disabled, some functions were getting built
1811 nonetheless, resulting in undefined reference errors when building a
1812 shared library. Reported by Guillermo Garcia M. in #4411.
1813 * The cipher suite TLS-RSA-WITH-CAMELLIA-256-GCM-SHA384 was not available
1814 when SHA-1 was disabled and was offered when SHA-1 was enabled but SHA-384
1815 was disabled. Fix the dependency. Fixes #4472.
1816 * Do not offer SHA384 cipher suites when SHA-384 is disabled. Fixes #4499.
1817 * Fix test suite code on platforms where int32_t is not int, such as
1818 Arm Cortex-M. Fixes #4530.
1819 * Fix some issues affecting MBEDTLS_ARIA_ALT implementations: a misplaced
1820 directive in a header and a missing initialization in the self-test.
1821 * Fix a missing initialization in the Camellia self-test, affecting
1822 MBEDTLS_CAMELLIA_ALT implementations.
1823 * Restore the ability to configure PSA via Mbed TLS options to support RSA
1824 key pair operations but exclude RSA key generation. When MBEDTLS_GENPRIME
1825 is not defined PSA will no longer attempt to use mbedtls_rsa_gen_key().
1826 Fixes #4512.
1827 * Fix a regression introduced in 2.24.0 which broke (D)TLS CBC ciphersuites
1828 (when the encrypt-then-MAC extension is not in use) with some ALT
1829 implementations of the underlying hash (SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384), causing
1830 the affected side to wrongly reject valid messages. Fixes #4118.
1831 * Remove outdated check-config.h check that prevented implementing the
1832 timing module on Mbed OS. Fixes #4633.
1833 * Fix PSA_ALG_TLS12_PRF and PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS being too permissive
1834 about missing inputs.
1835 * Fix mbedtls_net_poll() and mbedtls_net_recv_timeout() often failing with
1836 MBEDTLS_ERR_NET_POLL_FAILED on Windows. Fixes #4465.
1837 * Fix a resource leak in a test suite with an alternative AES
1838 implementation. Fixes #4176.
1839 * Fix a crash in mbedtls_mpi_debug_mpi on a bignum having 0 limbs. This
1840 could notably be triggered by setting the TLS debug level to 3 or above
1841 and using a Montgomery curve for the key exchange. Reported by lhuang04
1842 in #4578. Fixes #4608.
1843 * psa_verify_hash() was relying on implementation-specific behavior of
1844 mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pss_verify() and was causing failures in some _ALT
1845 implementations. This reliance is now removed. Fixes #3990.
1846 * Disallow inputs of length different from the corresponding hash when
1847 signing or verifying with PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS (The PSA Crypto API mandates
1848 that PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS uses the same hash throughout the algorithm.)
1849 * Fix a null pointer dereference when mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod() was called with
1850 A=0 represented with 0 limbs. Up to and including Mbed TLS 2.26, this bug
1851 could not be triggered by code that constructed A with one of the
1852 mbedtls_mpi_read_xxx functions (including in particular TLS code) since
1853 those always built an mpi object with at least one limb.
1854 Credit to OSS-Fuzz. Fixes #4641.
1855 * Fix mbedtls_mpi_gcd(G,A,B) when the value of B is zero. This had no
1856 effect on Mbed TLS's internal use of mbedtls_mpi_gcd(), but may affect
1857 applications that call mbedtls_mpi_gcd() directly. Fixes #4642.
1858 * The PSA API no longer allows the creation or destruction of keys with a
1859 read-only lifetime. The persistence level PSA_KEY_PERSISTENCE_READ_ONLY
1860 can now only be used as intended, for keys that cannot be modified through
1861 normal use of the API.
1862 * When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SPM is enabled, crypto_spe.h was not included
1863 in all the right places. Include it from crypto_platform.h, which is
1864 the natural place. Fixes #4649.
1865 * Fix which alert is sent in some cases to conform to the
1866 applicable RFC: on an invalid Finished message value, an
1867 invalid max_fragment_length extension, or an
1868 unsupported extension used by the server.
Dave Rodgmana84a8eb2021-07-01 17:01:04 +01001869 * Correct (change from 12 to 13 bytes) the value of the macro describing the
1870 maximum nonce length returned by psa_aead_generate_nonce().
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +01001871
1872Changes
1873 * Fix the setting of the read timeout in the DTLS sample programs.
1874 * Add extra printf compiler warning flags to builds.
1875 * Fix memsan build false positive in x509_crt.c with clang 11
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001876 * Alternative implementations of CMAC may now opt to not support 3DES as a
1877 CMAC block cipher, and still pass the CMAC self test.
1878 * Remove the AES sample application programs/aes/aescrypt2 which shows
1879 bad cryptographic practice. Fix #1906.
1880 * Remove configs/config-psa-crypto.h, which no longer had any intended
1881 differences from the default configuration, but had accidentally diverged.
1882 * When building the test suites with GNU make, invoke python3 or python, not
1883 python2, which is no longer supported upstream.
1884 * fix build failure on MinGW toolchain when __USE_MING_ANSI_STDIO is on.
1885 When that flag is on, standard GNU C printf format specifiers
1886 should be used.
1887 * Replace MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_PADDING_GRANULARITY and
1888 MBEDTLS_SSL_TLS1_3_PADDING_GRANULARITY with a new single unified option
1889 MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_TLS1_3_PADDING_GRANULARITY. Fixes #4335.
1890 * Reduce the default value of MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE. This reduces RAM usage
1891 during ECC operations at a negligible performance cost.
1892 * mbedtls_mpi_read_binary(), mbedtls_mpi_read_binary_le() and
1893 mbedtls_mpi_read_string() now construct an mbedtls_mpi object with 0 limbs
1894 when their input has length 0. Note that this is an implementation detail
1895 and can change at any time, so this change should be transparent, but it
1896 may result in mbedtls_mpi_write_binary() or mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
1897 now writing an empty string where it previously wrote one or more
1898 zero digits when operating from values constructed with an mpi_read
1899 function and some mpi operations.
1900 * Add CMake package config generation for CMake projects consuming Mbed TLS.
1901 * config.h has been split into build_info.h and mbedtls_config.h
1902 build_info.h is intended to be included from C code directly, while
1903 mbedtls_config.h is intended to be edited by end users wishing to
1904 change the build configuration, and should generally only be included from
1905 build_info.h.
1906 * The handling of MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE has been moved into build_info.h.
1907 * A config file version symbol, MBEDTLS_CONFIG_VERSION was introduced.
1908 Defining it to a particular value will ensure that Mbed TLS interprets
1909 the config file in a way that's compatible with the config file format
1910 used by the Mbed TLS release whose MBEDTLS_VERSION_NUMBER has the same
1911 value.
1912 The only value supported by Mbed TLS 3.0.0 is 0x03000000.
1913 * Various changes to which alert and/or error code may be returned
1914 * during the TLS handshake.
1915 * Implicitly add PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_MESSAGE key usage policy flag when
1916 PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_HASH flag is set and PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_MESSAGE flag
1917 when PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_HASH flag is set. This usage flag extension
1918 is also applied when loading a key from storage.

1921
1922API changes
1923 * Renamed the PSA Crypto API output buffer size macros to bring them in line
1924 with version 1.0.0 of the specification.
1925 * The API glue function mbedtls_ecc_group_of_psa() now takes the curve size
1926 in bits rather than bytes, with an additional flag to indicate if the
1927 size may have been rounded up to a whole number of bytes.
1928 * Renamed the PSA Crypto API AEAD tag length macros to bring them in line
1929 with version 1.0.0 of the specification.
1930
1931Default behavior changes
1932 * In mbedtls_rsa_context objects, the ver field was formerly documented
1933 as always 0. It is now reserved for internal purposes and may take
1934 different values.
1935
1936New deprecations
1937 * PSA_KEY_EXPORT_MAX_SIZE, PSA_HASH_SIZE, PSA_MAC_FINAL_SIZE,
1938 PSA_BLOCK_CIPHER_BLOCK_SIZE, PSA_MAX_BLOCK_CIPHER_BLOCK_SIZE and
1939 PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS_MAX_PSK_LEN have been renamed, and the old names
1940 deprecated.
1941 * PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_DEFAULT_TAG_LENGTH and PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_TAG_LENGTH
1942 have been renamed, and the old names deprecated.
1943
1944Features
1945 * The PSA crypto subsystem can now use HMAC_DRBG instead of CTR_DRBG.
1946 CTR_DRBG is used by default if it is available, but you can override
1947 this choice by setting MBEDTLS_PSA_HMAC_DRBG_MD_TYPE at compile time.
1948 Fix #3354.
1949 * Automatic fallback to a software implementation of ECP when
1950 MBEDTLS_ECP_xxx_ALT accelerator hooks are in use can now be turned off
1951 through setting the new configuration flag MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_FALLBACK.
1952 * The PSA crypto subsystem can now be configured to use less static RAM by
1953 tweaking the setting for the maximum amount of keys simultaneously in RAM.
1954 MBEDTLS_PSA_KEY_SLOT_COUNT sets the maximum number of volatile keys that
1955 can exist simultaneously. It has a sensible default if not overridden.
1956 * Partial implementation of the PSA crypto driver interface: Mbed TLS can
1957 now use an external random generator instead of the library's own
1958 entropy collection and DRBG code. Enable MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG
1959 and see the documentation of mbedtls_psa_external_get_random() for details.
1960 * Applications using both mbedtls_xxx and psa_xxx functions (for example,
1961 applications using TLS and MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO) can now use the PSA
1962 random generator with mbedtls_xxx functions. See the documentation of
1963 mbedtls_psa_get_random() for details.
1964 * In the PSA API, the policy for a MAC or AEAD algorithm can specify a
1965 minimum MAC or tag length thanks to the new wildcards
1966 PSA_ALG_AT_LEAST_THIS_LENGTH_MAC and
1967 PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_AT_LEAST_THIS_LENGTH_TAG.
1968
1969Security
1970 * Fix a security reduction in CTR_DRBG when the initial seeding obtained a
1971 nonce from entropy. Applications were affected if they called
1972 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len(), if they called
1973 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_entropy_len() with a size that was 3/2 times the key
1974 length, or when the entropy module uses SHA-256 and CTR_DRBG uses AES-256.
1975 In such cases, a random nonce was necessary to achieve the advertised
1976 security strength, but the code incorrectly used a constant instead of
1977 entropy from the nonce.
1978 Found by John Stroebel in #3819 and fixed in #3973.
1979 * Fix a buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() when calculating
1980 |A| - |B| where |B| is larger than |A| and has more limbs (so the
1981 function should return MBEDTLS_ERR_MPI_NEGATIVE_VALUE). Only
1982 applications calling mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() directly are affected:
1983 all calls inside the library were safe since this function is
1984 only called with |A| >= |B|. Reported by Guido Vranken in #4042.
1985 * Fix an errorneous estimation for an internal buffer in
1986 mbedtls_pk_write_key_pem(). If MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE is set to an odd
1987 value the function might fail to write a private RSA keys of the largest
1988 supported size.
1989 Found by Daniel Otte, reported in #4093 and fixed in #4094.
1990 * Fix a stack buffer overflow with mbedtls_net_poll() and
1991 mbedtls_net_recv_timeout() when given a file descriptor that is
1992 beyond FD_SETSIZE. Reported by FigBug in #4169.
1993 * Guard against strong local side channel attack against base64 tables by
1994 making access aceess to them use constant flow code.
1995
1996Bugfix
1997 * Fix use-after-scope error in programs/ssl/ssl_client2.c and ssl_server2.c
1998 * Fix memory leak that occured when calling psa_close_key() on a
1999 wrapped key with MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C defined.
2000 * Fix an incorrect error code if an RSA private operation glitched.
2001 * Fix a memory leak in an error case in psa_generate_derived_key_internal().
2002 * Fix a resource leak in CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C
2003 is enabled, on platforms where initializing a mutex allocates resources.
2004 This was a regression introduced in the previous release. Reported in
2005 #4017, #4045 and #4071.
2006 * Ensure that calling mbedtls_rsa_free() or mbedtls_entropy_free()
2007 twice is safe. This happens for RSA when some Mbed TLS library functions
2008 fail. Such a double-free was not safe when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C was
2009 enabled on platforms where freeing a mutex twice is not safe.
2010 * Fix a resource leak in a bad-arguments case of mbedtls_rsa_gen_key()
2011 when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled on platforms where initializing
2012 a mutex allocates resources.
2013 * Fixes a bug where, if the library was configured to include support for
2014 both the old SE interface and the new PSA driver interface, external keys were
2015 not loaded from storage. This was fixed by #3996.
2016 * This change makes 'mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_basic_constraints'
2017 consistent with RFC 5280 4.2.1.9 which says: "Conforming CAs MUST
2018 include this extension in all CA certificates that contain public keys
2019 used to validate digital signatures on certificates and MUST mark the
2020 extension as critical in such certificates." Previous to this change,
2021 the extension was always marked as non-critical. This was fixed by
2022 #3698.
2023
2024Changes
2025 * A new library C file psa_crypto_client.c has been created to contain
2026 the PSA code needed by a PSA crypto client when the PSA crypto
2027 implementation is not included into the library.
2028 * On recent enough versions of FreeBSD and DragonFlyBSD, the entropy module
2029 now uses the getrandom syscall instead of reading from /dev/urandom.

2033API changes
2034 * The numerical values of the PSA Crypto API macros have been updated to
2035 conform to version 1.0.0 of the specification.
2036 * PSA_ALG_STREAM_CIPHER replaces PSA_ALG_CHACHA20 and PSA_ALG_ARC4.
2037 The underlying stream cipher is determined by the key type
2038 (PSA_KEY_TYPE_CHACHA20 or PSA_KEY_TYPE_ARC4).
2039 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
2040 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() no longer accept NIST_KW contexts,
2041 as they have no way to check if the output buffer is large enough.
2042 Please use mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt_ext() and
2043 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt_ext() instead. Credit to OSS-Fuzz and
2044 Cryptofuzz. Fixes #3665.
2045
2046Requirement changes
Janos Follathe9216262020-12-10 11:03:01 +00002047 * Update the minimum required CMake version to 2.8.12. This silences a
2048 warning on CMake 3.19.0. #3801
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +00002049
2050New deprecations
Bence Szépkútife9a4252021-02-08 18:13:02 +01002051 * PSA_ALG_CHACHA20 and PSA_ALG_ARC4 have been deprecated.
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +00002052 Use PSA_ALG_STREAM_CIPHER instead.
2053 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
2054 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() are deprecated in favour of the new
2055 functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt_ext() and
2056 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt_ext(). Please note that with AEAD ciphers,
2057 these new functions always append the tag to the ciphertext, and include
2058 the tag in the ciphertext length.
2059
2060Features
Janos Follathd6ce1162020-12-09 16:32:01 +00002061 * Partial implementation of the new PSA Crypto accelerator APIs. (Symmetric
2062 ciphers, asymmetric signing/verification and key generation, validate_key
2063 entry point, and export_public_key interface.)
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +00002064 * Add support for ECB to the PSA cipher API.
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +00002065 * In PSA, allow using a key declared with a base key agreement algorithm
2066 in combined key agreement and derivation operations, as long as the key
2067 agreement algorithm in use matches the algorithm the key was declared with.
2068 This is currently non-standard behaviour, but expected to make it into a
2069 future revision of the PSA Crypto standard.
2070 * Add MBEDTLS_TARGET_PREFIX CMake variable, which is prefixed to the mbedtls,
2071 mbedcrypto, mbedx509 and apidoc CMake target names. This can be used by
2072 external CMake projects that include this one to avoid CMake target name
2073 clashes. The default value of this variable is "", so default target names
2074 are unchanged.
2075 * Add support for DTLS-SRTP as defined in RFC 5764. Contributed by Johan
2076 Pascal, improved by Ron Eldor.
2077 * In the PSA API, it is no longer necessary to open persistent keys:
2078 operations now accept the key identifier. The type psa_key_handle_t is now
2079 identical to psa_key_id_t instead of being platform-defined. This bridges
2080 the last major gap to compliance with the PSA Cryptography specification
2081 version 1.0.0. Opening persistent keys is still supported for backward
2082 compatibility, but will be deprecated and later removed in future
2083 releases.
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +00002084 * PSA_AEAD_NONCE_LENGTH, PSA_AEAD_NONCE_MAX_SIZE, PSA_CIPHER_IV_LENGTH and
2085 PSA_CIPHER_IV_MAX_SIZE macros have been added as defined in version
2086 1.0.0 of the PSA Crypto API specification.
2087
2088Security
2089 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
2090 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() would write past the minimum documented
2091 size of the output buffer when used with NIST_KW. As a result, code using
2092 those functions as documented with NIST_KW could have a buffer overwrite
2093 of up to 15 bytes, with consequences ranging up to arbitrary code
2094 execution depending on the location of the output buffer.
2095 * Limit the size of calculations performed by mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod to
2096 MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE to prevent a potential denial of service when
2097 generating Diffie-Hellman key pairs. Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
2098 * A failure of the random generator was ignored in mbedtls_mpi_fill_random(),
2099 which is how most uses of randomization in asymmetric cryptography
2100 (including key generation, intermediate value randomization and blinding)
2101 are implemented. This could cause failures or the silent use of non-random
2102 values. A random generator can fail if it needs reseeding and cannot not
2103 obtain entropy, or due to an internal failure (which, for Mbed TLS's own
2104 CTR_DRBG or HMAC_DRBG, can only happen due to a misconfiguration).
2105 * Fix a compliance issue whereby we were not checking the tag on the
2106 algorithm parameters (only the size) when comparing the signature in the
2107 description part of the cert to the real signature. This meant that a
2108 NULL algorithm parameters entry would look identical to an array of REAL
2109 (size zero) to the library and thus the certificate would be considered
2110 valid. However, if the parameters do not match in *any* way then the
2111 certificate should be considered invalid, and indeed OpenSSL marks these
2112 certs as invalid when mbedtls did not.
2113 Many thanks to guidovranken who found this issue via differential fuzzing
2114 and reported it in #3629.
2115 * Zeroising of local buffers and variables which are used for calculations
2116 in mbedtls_pkcs5_pbkdf2_hmac(), mbedtls_internal_sha*_process(),
2117 mbedtls_internal_md*_process() and mbedtls_internal_ripemd160_process()
2118 functions to erase sensitive data from memory. Reported by
2119 Johan Malmgren and Johan Uppman Bruce from Sectra.
2120
2121Bugfix
Janos Follath76027f62020-12-09 16:28:35 +00002122 * Fix an invalid (but nonzero) return code from mbedtls_pk_parse_subpubkey()
2123 when the input has trailing garbage. Fixes #2512.
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +00002124 * Fix build failure in configurations where MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is
2125 enabled but ECDSA is disabled. Contributed by jdurkop. Fixes #3294.
2126 * Include the psa_constant_names generated source code in the source tree
2127 instead of generating it at build time. Fixes #3524.
2128 * Fix rsa_prepare_blinding() to retry when the blinding value is not
2129 invertible (mod N), instead of returning MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_RNG_FAILED. This
2130 addresses a regression but is rare in practice (approx. 1 in 2/sqrt(N)).
2131 Found by Synopsys Coverity, fix contributed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin).
2132 Fixes #3647.
2133 * Use socklen_t on Android and other POSIX-compliant system
2134 * Fix the build when the macro _GNU_SOURCE is defined to a non-empty value.
2135 Fix #3432.
2136 * Consistently return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT on invalid cipher input
2137 sizes (instead of PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATE in some cases) to make the
2138 psa_cipher_* functions compliant with the PSA Crypto API specification.
2139 * mbedtls_ecp_curve_list() now lists Curve25519 and Curve448 under the names
2140 "x25519" and "x448". These curves support ECDH but not ECDSA. If you need
2141 only the curves that support ECDSA, filter the list with
2142 mbedtls_ecdsa_can_do().
2143 * Fix psa_generate_key() returning an error when asked to generate
2144 an ECC key pair on Curve25519 or secp244k1.
2145 * Fix psa_key_derivation_output_key() to allow the output of a combined key
2146 agreement and subsequent key derivation operation to be used as a key
2147 inside of the PSA Crypto core.
2148 * Fix handling of EOF against 0xff bytes and on platforms with unsigned
2149 chars. Fixes a build failure on platforms where char is unsigned. Fixes
2150 #3794.
2151 * Fix an off-by-one error in the additional data length check for
2152 CCM, which allowed encryption with a non-standard length field.
2153 Fixes #3719.
2154 * Correct the default IV size for mbedtls_cipher_info_t structures using
2155 MBEDTLS_MODE_ECB to 0, since ECB mode ciphers don't use IVs.
2156 * Make arc4random_buf available on NetBSD and OpenBSD when _POSIX_C_SOURCE is
2157 defined. Fix contributed in #3571.
2158 * Fix conditions for including string.h in error.c. Fixes #3866.
2159 * psa_set_key_id() now also sets the lifetime to persistent for keys located
2160 in a secure element.
2161 * Attempting to create a volatile key with a non-zero key identifier now
2162 fails. Previously the key identifier was just ignored when creating a
2163 volatile key.
2164 * Attempting to create or register a key with a key identifier in the vendor
2165 range now fails.
2166 * Fix build failures on GCC 11. Fixes #3782.
2167 * Add missing arguments of debug message in mbedtls_ssl_decrypt_buf.
2168 * Fix a memory leak in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() when the result was negative
2169 (an error condition) and the second operand was aliased to the result.
2170 * Fix a case in elliptic curve arithmetic where an out-of-memory condition
2171 could go undetected, resulting in an incorrect result.
2172 * In CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG, don't reset the reseed interval in seed().
2173 Fixes #2927.
2174 * In PEM writing functions, fill the trailing part of the buffer with null
2175 bytes. This guarantees that the corresponding parsing function can read
2176 the buffer back, which was the case for mbedtls_x509write_{crt,csr}_pem
2177 until this property was inadvertently broken in Mbed TLS 2.19.0.
2178 Fixes #3682.
2179 * Fix a build failure that occurred with the MBEDTLS_AES_SETKEY_DEC_ALT
2180 option on. In this configuration key management methods that are required
2181 for MBEDTLS_CIPHER_MODE_XTS were excluded from the build and made it fail.
2182 Fixes #3818. Reported by John Stroebel.
2183
2184Changes
2185 * Reduce stack usage significantly during sliding window exponentiation.
2186 Reported in #3591 and fix contributed in #3592 by Daniel Otte.
2187 * The PSA persistent storage format is updated to always store the key bits
2188 attribute. No automatic upgrade path is provided. Previously stored keys
2189 must be erased, or manually upgraded based on the key storage format
2190 specification (docs/architecture/mbed-crypto-storage-specification.md).
2191 Fixes #3740.
2192 * Remove the zeroization of a pointer variable in AES rounds. It was valid
2193 but spurious and misleading since it looked like a mistaken attempt to
2194 zeroize the pointed-to buffer. Reported by Antonio de la Piedra, CEA
2195 Leti, France.

2199API changes
Janos Follath6012f0e2020-08-26 15:32:10 +01002200 * In the PSA API, rename the types of elliptic curve and Diffie-Hellman
2201 group families to psa_ecc_family_t and psa_dh_family_t, in line with the
2202 PSA Crypto API specification version 1.0.0.
Janos Follathc18a7b82020-08-26 14:49:16 +01002203 Rename associated macros as well:
2204 PSA_ECC_CURVE_xxx renamed to PSA_ECC_FAMILY_xxx
2205 PSA_DH_GROUP_xxx renamed to PSA_DH_FAMILY_xxx
2206 PSA_KEY_TYPE_GET_CURVE renamed to to PSA_KEY_TYPE_ECC_GET_FAMILY
2207 PSA_KEY_TYPE_GET_GROUP renamed to PSA_KEY_TYPE_DH_GET_FAMILY
2208
2209Default behavior changes
2210 * Stop storing persistent information about externally stored keys created
2211 through PSA Crypto with a volatile lifetime. Reported in #3288 and
2212 contributed by Steven Cooreman in #3382.
2213
2214Features
2215 * The new function mbedtls_ecp_write_key() exports private ECC keys back to
2216 a byte buffer. It is the inverse of the existing mbedtls_ecp_read_key().
2217 * Support building on e2k (Elbrus) architecture: correctly enable
2218 -Wformat-signedness, and fix the code that causes signed-one-bit-field
2219 and sign-compare warnings. Contributed by makise-homura (Igor Molchanov)
2220 <akemi_homura@kurisa.ch>.
2221
2222Security
2223 * Fix a vulnerability in the verification of X.509 certificates when
2224 matching the expected common name (the cn argument of
2225 mbedtls_x509_crt_verify()) with the actual certificate name: when the
2226 subjecAltName extension is present, the expected name was compared to any
2227 name in that extension regardless of its type. This means that an
2228 attacker could for example impersonate a 4-bytes or 16-byte domain by
2229 getting a certificate for the corresponding IPv4 or IPv6 (this would
2230 require the attacker to control that IP address, though). Similar attacks
2231 using other subjectAltName name types might be possible. Found and
2232 reported by kFYatek in #3498.
2233 * When checking X.509 CRLs, a certificate was only considered as revoked if
2234 its revocationDate was in the past according to the local clock if
2235 available. In particular, on builds without MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE,
2236 certificates were never considered as revoked. On builds with
2237 MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE, an attacker able to control the local clock (for
2238 example, an untrusted OS attacking a secure enclave) could prevent
2239 revocation of certificates via CRLs. Fixed by no longer checking the
2240 revocationDate field, in accordance with RFC 5280. Reported by
2241 yuemonangong in #3340. Reported independently and fixed by
2242 Raoul Strackx and Jethro Beekman in #3433.
2243 * In (D)TLS record decryption, when using a CBC ciphersuites without the
2244 Encrypt-then-Mac extension, use constant code flow memory access patterns
2245 to extract and check the MAC. This is an improvement to the existing
2246 countermeasure against Lucky 13 attacks. The previous countermeasure was
2247 effective against network-based attackers, but less so against local
2248 attackers. The new countermeasure defends against local attackers, even
2249 if they have access to fine-grained measurements. In particular, this
2250 fixes a local Lucky 13 cache attack found and reported by Tuba Yavuz,
2251 Farhaan Fowze, Ken (Yihan) Bai, Grant Hernandez, and Kevin Butler
2252 (University of Florida) and Dave Tian (Purdue University).
2253 * Fix side channel in RSA private key operations and static (finite-field)
2254 Diffie-Hellman. An adversary with precise enough timing and memory access
2255 information (typically an untrusted operating system attacking a secure
2256 enclave) could bypass an existing counter-measure (base blinding) and
2257 potentially fully recover the private key.
2258 * Fix a 1-byte buffer overread in mbedtls_x509_crl_parse_der().
2259 Credit to OSS-Fuzz for detecting the problem and to Philippe Antoine
2260 for pinpointing the problematic code.
2261 * Zeroising of plaintext buffers in mbedtls_ssl_read() to erase unused
2262 application data from memory. Reported in #689 by
2263 Johan Uppman Bruce of Sectra.
2264
2265Bugfix
2266 * Library files installed after a CMake build no longer have execute
2267 permission.
Janos Follath6012f0e2020-08-26 15:32:10 +01002268 * Use local labels in mbedtls_padlock_has_support() to fix an invalid symbol
2269 redefinition if the function is inlined.
Janos Follathc18a7b82020-08-26 14:49:16 +01002270 Reported in #3451 and fix contributed in #3452 by okhowang.
2271 * Fix the endianness of Curve25519 keys imported/exported through the PSA
2272 APIs. psa_import_key and psa_export_key will now correctly expect/output
2273 Montgomery keys in little-endian as defined by RFC7748. Contributed by
2274 Steven Cooreman in #3425.
2275 * Fix build errors when the only enabled elliptic curves are Montgomery
2276 curves. Raised by signpainter in #941 and by Taiki-San in #1412. This
2277 also fixes missing declarations reported by Steven Cooreman in #1147.
2278 * Fix self-test failure when the only enabled short Weierstrass elliptic
2279 curve is secp192k1. Fixes #2017.
2280 * PSA key import will now correctly import a Curve25519/Curve448 public key
2281 instead of erroring out. Contributed by Steven Cooreman in #3492.
2282 * Use arc4random_buf on NetBSD instead of rand implementation with cyclical
2283 lower bits. Fix contributed in #3540.
2284 * Fix a memory leak in mbedtls_md_setup() when using HMAC under low memory
2285 conditions. Reported and fix suggested by Guido Vranken in #3486.
2286 * Fix bug in redirection of unit test outputs on platforms where stdout is
2287 defined as a macro. First reported in #2311 and fix contributed in #3528.
2288
2289Changes
2290 * Only pass -Wformat-signedness to versions of GCC that support it. Reported
2291 in #3478 and fix contributed in #3479 by okhowang.
2292 * Reduce the stack consumption of mbedtls_x509write_csr_der() which
2293 previously could lead to stack overflow on constrained devices.
2294 Contributed by Doru Gucea and Simon Leet in #3464.
2295 * Undefine the ASSERT macro before defining it locally, in case it is defined
2296 in a platform header. Contributed by Abdelatif Guettouche in #3557.
2297 * Update copyright notices to use Linux Foundation guidance. As a result,
2298 the copyright of contributors other than Arm is now acknowledged, and the
2299 years of publishing are no longer tracked in the source files. This also
2300 eliminates the need for the lines declaring the files to be part of
2301 MbedTLS. Fixes #3457.
2302 * Add the command line parameter key_pwd to the ssl_client2 and ssl_server2
2303 example applications which allows to provide a password for the key file
2304 specified through the existing key_file argument. This allows the use of
2305 these applications with password-protected key files. Analogously but for
2306 ssl_server2 only, add the command line parameter key_pwd2 which allows to
2307 set a password for the key file provided through the existing key_file2
2308 argument.

2312Default behavior changes
2313 * In the experimental PSA secure element interface, change the encoding of
2314 key lifetimes to encode a persistence level and the location. Although C
2315 prototypes do not effectively change, code calling
2316 psa_register_se_driver() must be modified to pass the driver's location
2317 instead of the keys' lifetime. If the library is upgraded on an existing
2318 device, keys created with the old lifetime value will not be readable or
2319 removable through Mbed TLS after the upgrade.
2320
2321Features
2322 * New functions in the error module return constant strings for
2323 high- and low-level error codes, complementing mbedtls_strerror()
2324 which constructs a string for any error code, including compound
2325 ones, but requires a writable buffer. Contributed by Gaurav Aggarwal
2326 in #3176.
2327 * The new utility programs/ssl/ssl_context_info prints a human-readable
2328 dump of an SSL context saved with mbedtls_ssl_context_save().
2329 * Add support for midipix, a POSIX layer for Microsoft Windows.
2330 * Add new mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() routine which allows
2331 parsing unsupported certificate extensions via user provided callback.
2332 Contributed by Nicola Di Lieto <nicola.dilieto@gmail.com> in #3243 as
2333 a solution to #3241.
2334 * Pass the "certificate policies" extension to the callback supplied to
2335 mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() if it contains unsupported
2336 policies (#3419).
2337 * Added support to entropy_poll for the kern.arandom syscall supported on
2338 some BSD systems. Contributed by Nia Alarie in #3423.
2339 * Add support for Windows 2000 in net_sockets. Contributed by opatomic. #3239
2340
2341Security
2342 * Fix a side channel vulnerability in modular exponentiation that could
2343 reveal an RSA private key used in a secure enclave. Noticed by Sangho Lee,
2344 Ming-Wei Shih, Prasun Gera, Taesoo Kim and Hyesoon Kim (Georgia Institute
2345 of Technology); and Marcus Peinado (Microsoft Research). Reported by Raoul
2346 Strackx (Fortanix) in #3394.
2347 * Fix side channel in mbedtls_ecp_check_pub_priv() and
2348 mbedtls_pk_parse_key() / mbedtls_pk_parse_keyfile() (when loading a
2349 private key that didn't include the uncompressed public key), as well as
2350 mbedtls_ecp_mul() / mbedtls_ecp_mul_restartable() when called with a NULL
2351 f_rng argument. An attacker with access to precise enough timing and
2352 memory access information (typically an untrusted operating system
2353 attacking a secure enclave) could fully recover the ECC private key.
2354 Found and reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Brumley.
2355 * Fix issue in Lucky 13 counter-measure that could make it ineffective when
2356 hardware accelerators were used (using one of the MBEDTLS_SHAxxx_ALT
2357 macros). This would cause the original Lucky 13 attack to be possible in
2358 those configurations, allowing an active network attacker to recover
2359 plaintext after repeated timing measurements under some conditions.
2360 Reported and fix suggested by Luc Perneel in #3246.
2361
2362Bugfix
2363 * Fix the Visual Studio Release x64 build configuration for mbedtls itself.
2364 Completes a previous fix in Mbed TLS 2.19 that only fixed the build for
2365 the example programs. Reported in #1430 and fix contributed by irwir.
2366 * Fix undefined behavior in X.509 certificate parsing if the
2367 pathLenConstraint basic constraint value is equal to INT_MAX.
2368 The actual effect with almost every compiler is the intended
2369 behavior, so this is unlikely to be exploitable anywhere. #3192
2370 * Fix issue with a detected HW accelerated record error not being exposed
2371 due to shadowed variable. Contributed by Sander Visser in #3310.
2372 * Avoid NULL pointer dereferencing if mbedtls_ssl_free() is called with a
2373 NULL pointer argument. Contributed by Sander Visser in #3312.
2374 * Fix potential linker errors on dual world platforms by inlining
2375 mbedtls_gcc_group_to_psa(). This allows the pk.c module to link separately
2376 from psa_crypto.c. Fixes #3300.
2377 * Remove dead code in X.509 certificate parsing. Contributed by irwir in
2378 #2855.
2379 * Include asn1.h in error.c. Fixes #3328 reported by David Hu.
2380 * Fix potential memory leaks in ecp_randomize_jac() and ecp_randomize_mxz()
2381 when PRNG function fails. Contributed by Jonas Lejeune in #3318.
2382 * Remove unused macros from MSVC projects. Reported in #3297 and fix
2383 submitted in #3333 by irwir.
2384 * Add additional bounds checks in ssl_write_client_hello() preventing
2385 output buffer overflow if the configuration declared a buffer that was
2386 too small.
2387 * Set _POSIX_C_SOURCE to at least 200112L in C99 code. Reported in #3420 and
2388 fix submitted in #3421 by Nia Alarie.
2389 * Fix building library/net_sockets.c and the ssl_mail_client program on
2390 NetBSD. Contributed by Nia Alarie in #3422.
2391 * Fix false positive uninitialised variable reported by cpp-check.
2392 Contributed by Sander Visser in #3311.
2393 * Update iv and len context pointers manually when reallocating buffers
2394 using the MBEDTLS_SSL_VARIABLE_BUFFER_LENGTH feature. This caused issues
2395 when receiving a connection with CID, when these fields were shifted
2396 in ssl_parse_record_header().
2397
2398Changes
2399 * Fix warnings about signedness issues in format strings. The build is now
2400 clean of -Wformat-signedness warnings. Contributed by Kenneth Soerensen
2401 in #3153.
2402 * Fix minor performance issue in operations on Curve25519 caused by using a
2403 suboptimal modular reduction in one place. Found and fix contributed by
2404 Aurelien Jarno in #3209.
2405 * Combine identical cases in switch statements in md.c. Contributed
2406 by irwir in #3208.
2407 * Simplify a bounds check in ssl_write_certificate_request(). Contributed
2408 by irwir in #3150.
2409 * Unify the example programs termination to call mbedtls_exit() instead of
2410 using a return command. This has been done to enable customization of the
2411 behavior in bare metal environments.
2412 * Fix mbedtls_x509_dn_gets to escape non-ASCII characters as "?".
2413 Contributed by Koh M. Nakagawa in #3326.
2414 * Use FindPython3 when cmake version >= 3.15.0
2415 * Abort the ClientHello writing function as soon as some extension doesn't
2416 fit into the record buffer. Previously, such extensions were silently
2417 dropped. As a consequence, the TLS handshake now fails when the output
2418 buffer is not large enough to hold the ClientHello.
David Horstmann5b93d972024-10-31 15:36:05 +00002419 * The unit tests now rely on header files in framework/tests/include/test and source
2420 files in framework/tests/src. When building with make or cmake, the files in
2421 framework/tests/src are compiled and the resulting object linked into each test
Janos Follath19590102020-06-26 11:26:02 +01002422 executable.
2423 * The ECP module, enabled by `MBEDTLS_ECP_C`, now depends on
2424 `MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_C` or `MBEDTLS_HMAC_DRBG_C` for some side-channel
2425 coutermeasures. If side channels are not a concern, this dependency can
2426 be avoided by enabling the new option `MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_INTERNAL_RNG`.
2427 * Align MSVC error flag with GCC and Clang. Contributed by Carlos Gomes

2444 * Fix issue in DTLS handling of new associations with the same parameters
2445 (RFC 6347 section 4.2.8): an attacker able to send forged UDP packets to
2446 the server could cause it to drop established associations with
2447 legitimate clients, resulting in a Denial of Service. This could only
2448 happen when MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE was enabled in config.h
2449 (which it is by default).
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnarda4aa89b2020-03-25 12:41:29 +01002450 * Fix side channel in ECC code that allowed an adversary with access to

2491 * Fix potential memory overread when performing an ECDSA signature
2492 operation. The overread only happens with cryptographically low
2493 probability (of the order of 2^-n where n is the bitsize of the curve)
2494 unless the RNG is broken, and could result in information disclosure or
2495 denial of service (application crash or extra resource consumption).
2496 Found by Auke Zeilstra and Peter Schwabe, using static analysis.
Gilles Peskine25a5c092020-02-11 19:12:49 +01002497 * To avoid a side channel vulnerability when parsing an RSA private key,
2498 read all the CRT parameters from the DER structure rather than
2499 reconstructing them. Found by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Bob
2500 Brumley. Reported and fix contributed by Jack Lloyd.

2505 support without SHA-384.

2507API changes
2508 * Change the encoding of key types and curves in the PSA API. The new
2509 values are aligned with the upcoming release of the PSA Crypto API
2510 specification version 1.0.0. The main change which may break some
2511 existing code is that elliptic curve key types no longer encode the
2512 exact curve: a psa_ecc_curve_t or psa_key_type_t value only encodes
2513 a curve family and the key size determines the exact curve (for example,
2514 PSA_ECC_CURVE_SECP_R1 with 256 bits is P256R1). ARMmbed/mbed-crypto#330

Gilles Peskine8c7d2c22020-01-22 19:02:09 +01002533 * The initial seeding of a CTR_DRBG instance makes a second call to the
Gilles Peskine6a4c3402020-01-22 18:28:24 +01002534 entropy function to obtain entropy for a nonce if the entropy size is less
2535 than 3/2 times the key size. In case you want to disable the extra call to
Gilles Peskine8c7d2c22020-01-22 19:02:09 +01002536 grab entropy, you can call mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len() to force the
Gilles Peskine6a4c3402020-01-22 18:28:24 +01002537 nonce length to 0.

2539Security
Gilles Peskine8c7d2c22020-01-22 19:02:09 +01002540 * Enforce that mbedtls_entropy_func() gathers a total of
2541 MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_BLOCK_SIZE bytes or more from strong sources. In the
Gilles Peskine6a4c3402020-01-22 18:28:24 +01002542 default configuration, on a platform with a single entropy source, the
2543 entropy module formerly only grabbed 32 bytes, which is good enough for
2544 security if the source is genuinely strong, but less than the expected 64
2545 bytes (size of the entropy accumulator).
Gilles Peskinee3b285d2020-01-27 14:01:42 +01002546 * Zeroize local variables in mbedtls_internal_aes_encrypt() and
2547 mbedtls_internal_aes_decrypt() before exiting the function. The value of
2548 these variables can be used to recover the last round key. To follow best
2549 practice and to limit the impact of buffer overread vulnerabilities (like
2550 Heartbleed) we need to zeroize them before exiting the function.
2551 Issue reported by Tuba Yavuz, Farhaan Fowze, Ken (Yihang) Bai,
2552 Grant Hernandez, and Kevin Butler (University of Florida) and
2553 Dave Tian (Purdue University).
2554 * Fix side channel vulnerability in ECDSA. Our bignum implementation is not
2555 constant time/constant trace, so side channel attacks can retrieve the
2556 blinded value, factor it (as it is smaller than RSA keys and not guaranteed
2557 to have only large prime factors), and then, by brute force, recover the
2558 key. Reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Brumley.
2559 * Fix side channel vulnerability in ECDSA key generation. Obtaining precise
2560 timings on the comparison in the key generation enabled the attacker to
2561 learn leading bits of the ephemeral key used during ECDSA signatures and to
2562 recover the private key. Reported by Jeremy Dubeuf.
2563 * Catch failure of AES functions in mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random(). Uncaught
2564 failures could happen with alternative implementations of AES. Bug
2565 reported and fix proposed by Johan Uppman Bruce and Christoffer Lauri,

2600 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed() or mbedtls_hmac_drbg_seed().

Gilles Peskine8c7d2c22020-01-22 19:02:09 +01002605 * psa_close_key(0) and psa_destroy_key(0) now succeed (doing nothing, as

Jaeden Amero4197f0e2019-09-06 14:40:10 +01002639 * Fix a missing error detection in ECJPAKE. This could have caused a
2640 predictable shared secret if a hardware accelerator failed and the other
2641 side of the key exchange had a similar bug.
Gilles Peskine52157832018-08-11 00:51:04 +02002642 * When writing a private EC key, use a constant size for the private
2643 value, as specified in RFC 5915. Previously, the value was written
2644 as an ASN.1 INTEGER, which caused the size of the key to leak
2645 about 1 bit of information on average and could cause the value to be
2646 1 byte too large for the output buffer.
Janos Follath12fff152019-01-04 16:18:46 +00002647 * The deterministic ECDSA calculation reused the scheme's HMAC-DRBG to
2648 implement blinding. Because of this for the same key and message the same
2649 blinding value was generated. This reduced the effectiveness of the
2650 countermeasure and leaked information about the private key through side

2780 supported.
2781 * List all SAN types in the subject_alt_names field of the certificate.

Paul Bakker5121ce52009-01-03 21:22:43 +00002784 in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-dtls-connection-id-05.
2785 The Connection ID extension allows to keep DTLS connections beyond the
Paul Bakker99ed6782011-01-05 14:48:42 +00002786 lifetime of the underlying transport by adding a connection identifier
2787 to the DTLS record header. This identifier can be used to associated an
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05002788 incoming record with the correct connection data even after the peer has
2789 changed its IP or port. The feature is enabled at compile-time by setting
Hanno Beckerac4172c2019-01-31 09:27:04 +00002790 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID (disabled by default), and at run-time
2791 through the new APIs mbedtls_ssl_conf_cid() and mbedtls_ssl_set_cid().

2827 * Server's RSA certificate in certs.c was SHA-1 signed. In the default
2828 mbedTLS configuration only SHA-2 signed certificates are accepted.
2829 This certificate is used in the demo server programs, which lead the
2830 client programs to fail at the peer's certificate verification
2831 due to an unacceptable hash signature. The certificate has been
2832 updated to one that is SHA-256 signed. Fix contributed by
2833 Illya Gerasymchuk.

2845Features
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05002846 * Add a new X.509 API call `mbedtls_x509_parse_der_nocopy()`
2847 which allows copy-less parsing of DER encoded X.509 CRTs,
Hanno Beckerac4172c2019-01-31 09:27:04 +00002848 at the cost of additional lifetime constraints on the input
2849 buffer, but at the benefit of reduced RAM consumption.
2850 * Add a new function mbedtls_asn1_write_named_bitstring() to write ASN.1
2851 named bitstring in DER as required by RFC 5280 Appendix B.
2852 * Add MBEDTLS_REMOVE_3DES_CIPHERSUITES to allow removing 3DES ciphersuites
2853 from the default list (enabled by default). See
2854 https://sweet32.info/SWEET32_CCS16.pdf.
2855
2856API Changes
2857 * Add a new X.509 API call `mbedtls_x509_parse_der_nocopy()`.
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05002858 See the Features section for more information.
2859 * Allow to opt in to the removal the API mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()
2860 for the benefit of saving RAM, by disabling the new compile-time
2861 option MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE (enabled by default for
2862 API stability). Disabling this option makes mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()
2863 always return NULL, and removes the peer_cert field from the
2864 mbedtls_ssl_session structure which otherwise stores the peer's

2867Security
2868 * Make mbedtls_ecdh_get_params return an error if the second key
2869 belongs to a different group from the first. Before, if an application
2870 passed keys that belonged to different group, the first key's data was
2871 interpreted according to the second group, which could lead to either
2872 an error or a meaningless output from mbedtls_ecdh_get_params. In the
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05002873 latter case, this could expose at most 5 bits of the private key.

2879 Raised as a comment in #1996.
2880 * Reduce the stack consumption of mbedtls_mpi_fill_random() which could
2881 previously lead to a stack overflow on constrained targets.
2882 * Add `MBEDTLS_SELF_TEST` for the mbedtls_self_test functions
2883 in the header files, which missed the precompilation check. #971
2884 * Fix returning the value 1 when mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey failed.

2894 * Ensure that unused bits are zero when writing ASN.1 bitstrings when using
2895 mbedtls_asn1_write_bitstring().
2896 * Fix issue when writing the named bitstrings in KeyUsage and NsCertType
2897 extensions in CSRs and CRTs that caused these bitstrings to not be encoded
Simon Butcher41f95192018-12-01 18:42:47 +00002898 correctly as trailing zeroes were not accounted for as unused bits in the

2904 * Include configuration file in all header files that use configuration,
2905 instead of relying on other header files that they include.
2906 Inserted as an enhancement for #1371
Andrzej Kurek8764ccc2019-02-05 04:57:13 -05002907 * Add support for alternative CSR headers, as used by Microsoft and defined

2909 * Correct many misspellings. Fixed by MisterDA #2371.
2910 * Provide an abstraction of vsnprintf to allow alternative implementations
2911 for platforms that don't provide it. Based on contributions by Joris Aerts
2912 and Nathaniel Wesley Filardo.
2913 * Fix clobber list in MIPS assembly for large integer multiplication.
2914 Previously, this could lead to functionally incorrect assembly being
2915 produced by some optimizing compilers, showing up as failures in
k-stachowiakc5a4a132019-02-05 09:11:58 +01002916 e.g. RSA or ECC signature operations. Reported in #1722, fix suggested
2917 by Aurelien Jarno and submitted by Jeffrey Martin.
Andres Amaya Garciaaabe52f2018-10-16 22:18:53 +01002918 * Reduce the complexity of the timing tests. They were assuming more than the
2919 underlying OS actually guarantees.
k-stachowiakcddbd012019-02-19 12:40:34 +01002920 * Fix configuration queries in ssl-opt.h. #2030

Andres Amaya Garciaf8dffb32019-02-19 20:14:00 +00002922 * Re-enable certain interoperability tests in ssl-opt.sh which had previously
2923 been disabled for lack of a sufficiently recent version of GnuTLS on the CI.
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05002924 * Ciphersuites based on 3DES now have the lowest priority by default when

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

3005 * Fix timing variations and memory access variations in RSA PKCS#1 v1.5
3006 decryption that could lead to a Bleichenbacher-style padding oracle
3007 attack. In TLS, this affects servers that accept ciphersuites based on
3008 RSA decryption (i.e. ciphersuites whose name contains RSA but not
3009 (EC)DH(E)). Discovered by Eyal Ronen (Weizmann Institute), Robert Gillham
3010 (University of Adelaide), Daniel Genkin (University of Michigan),
3011 Adi Shamir (Weizmann Institute), David Wong (NCC Group), and Yuval Yarom
3012 (University of Adelaide, Data61). The attack is described in more detail
3013 in the paper available here: http://cat.eyalro.net/cat.pdf CVE-2018-19608
3014 * In mbedtls_mpi_write_binary(), don't leak the exact size of the number
3015 via branching and memory access patterns. An attacker who could submit
3016 a plaintext for RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 decryption but only observe the timing
3017 of the decryption and not its result could nonetheless decrypt RSA
3018 plaintexts and forge RSA signatures. Other asymmetric algorithms may
3019 have been similarly vulnerable. Reported by Eyal Ronen, Robert Gillham,
3020 Daniel Genkin, Adi Shamir, David Wong and Yuval Yarom.

3027 and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update() respectively, but the new functions
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05003028 report errors whereas the old functions return void. We recommend that

Janos Follathe0e7ddf2018-09-06 10:40:04 +01003043 to trigger a memory access up to 64KiB beyond the incoming message buffer,
3044 potentially leading to an application crash or information disclosure.
3045 * Fix mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() to use more rounds of probabilistic testing. The
3046 previous settings for the number of rounds made it practical for an
Simon Butcher681edee2018-11-07 16:25:38 +00003047 adversary to construct non-primes that would be erroneously accepted as
3048 primes with high probability. This does not have an impact on the
Janos Follathe0e7ddf2018-09-06 10:40:04 +01003049 security of TLS, but can matter in other contexts with numbers chosen
3050 potentially by an adversary that should be prime and can be validated.
3051 For example, the number of rounds was enough to securely generate RSA key
3052 pairs or Diffie-Hellman parameters, but was insufficient to validate
3053 Diffie-Hellman parameters properly.

Simon Butcherb35e59d2018-11-19 15:49:26 +00003057Features
3058 * Add support for temporarily suspending expensive ECC computations after
3059 some configurable amount of operations. This is intended to be used in
3060 constrained, single-threaded systems where ECC is time consuming and can
3061 block other operations until they complete. This is disabled by default,
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardf0bbd7e2018-10-15 13:22:41 +02003062 but can be enabled by MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE at compile time and
3063 configured by mbedtls_ecp_set_max_ops() at runtime. It applies to the new
3064 xxx_restartable functions in ECP, ECDSA, PK and X.509 (CRL not supported
3065 yet), and to existing functions in ECDH and SSL (currently only
Simon Butcher4a865ef2018-10-28 18:00:51 +00003066 implemented client-side, for ECDHE-ECDSA ciphersuites in TLS 1.2,
3067 including client authentication).
3068 * Add support for Arm CPU DSP extensions to accelerate asymmetric key
3069 operations. On CPUs where the extensions are available, they can accelerate
Simon Butcherb35e59d2018-11-19 15:49:26 +00003070 MPI multiplications used in ECC and RSA cryptography. Contributed by
3071 Aurelien Jarno.
3072 * Extend RSASSA-PSS signature to allow a smaller salt size. Previously, PSS
3073 signature always used a salt with the same length as the hash, and returned
3074 an error if this was not possible. Now the salt size may be up to two bytes
Simon Butcher06d80cf2018-11-06 23:46:04 +00003075 shorter. This allows the library to support all hash and signature sizes
3076 that comply with FIPS 186-4, including SHA-512 with a 1024-bit key.
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard823c9152018-07-02 12:05:49 +02003077 * Add support for 128-bit keys in CTR_DRBG. Note that using keys shorter
Simon Butchere51d4b32018-11-09 19:57:53 +00003078 than 256 bits limits the security of generated material to 128 bits.
Simon Butcher2ab14bb2018-11-09 20:09:33 +00003079
3080API Changes
3081 * Add a common error code of `MBEDTLS_ERR_PLATFORM_FEATURE_UNSUPPORTED` for
3082 a feature that is not supported by underlying alternative
Simon Butchere51d4b32018-11-09 19:57:53 +00003083 implementations implementing cryptographic primitives. This is useful for
Ron Eldor6aa9fb42018-10-04 14:32:05 +03003084 hardware accelerators that don't implement all options or features.
Simon Butcher2ab14bb2018-11-09 20:09:33 +00003085
3086New deprecations
3087 * All module specific errors following the form
3088 MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE that indicate a feature is not
Simon Butcher681edee2018-11-07 16:25:38 +00003089 supported are deprecated and are now replaced by the new equivalent
Simon Butcher2ab14bb2018-11-09 20:09:33 +00003090 platform error.
3091 * All module specific generic hardware acceleration errors following the
Janos Follathe0e7ddf2018-09-06 10:40:04 +01003092 form MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED that are deprecated and are replaced
3093 by the equivalent plaform error.
3094 * Deprecate the function mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() in favor of
Ron Eldor6aa9fb42018-10-04 14:32:05 +03003095 mbedtls_mpi_is_prime_ext() which allows specifying the number of

3098Bugfix
3099 * Fix wrong order of freeing in programs/ssl/ssl_server2 example
3100 application leading to a memory leak in case both
Simon Butcherc86993e2018-09-27 09:48:54 +01003101 MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C and MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BACKTRACE are set.

Simon Butcher1afc7672018-09-27 11:35:19 +01003103 * Fix a bug in the update function for SSL ticket keys which previously
3104 invalidated keys of a lifetime of less than a 1s. Fixes #1968.
Hanno Beckerf24c3362018-10-17 14:53:05 +01003105 * Fix failure in hmac_drbg in the benchmark sample application, when
3106 MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is defined. Found by TrinityTonic, #1095
3107 * Fix a bug in the record decryption routine ssl_decrypt_buf()
Hanno Becker617a3212018-10-05 09:51:36 +01003108 which lead to accepting properly authenticated but improperly
3109 padded records in case of CBC ciphersuites using Encrypt-then-MAC.
Simon Butcher681edee2018-11-07 16:25:38 +00003110 * Fix memory leak and freeing without initialization in the example
3111 program programs/x509/cert_write. Fixes #1422.
Hanno Becker7e1f3be2018-10-15 13:20:28 +01003112 * Ignore IV in mbedtls_cipher_set_iv() when the cipher mode is
3113 MBEDTLS_MODE_ECB. Found by ezdevelop. Fixes #1091.
3114 * Zeroize memory used for buffering or reassembling handshake messages
3115 after use.
Hanno Beckerf143a782018-11-06 17:43:16 +00003116 * Use `mbedtls_platform_zeroize()` instead of `memset()` for zeroization
3117 of sensitive data in the example programs aescrypt2 and crypt_and_hash.
3118 * Change the default string format used for various X.509 DN attributes to
Simon Butcher681edee2018-11-07 16:25:38 +00003119 UTF8String. Previously, the use of the PrintableString format led to
3120 wildcards and non-ASCII characters being unusable in some DN attributes.
Hanno Beckere4f965d2018-10-11 10:54:45 +01003121 Reported by raprepo in #1860 and by kevinpt in #468. Fix contributed by
3122 Thomas-Dee.
3123 * Fix compilation failure for configurations which use compile time
3124 replacements of standard calloc/free functions through the macros
Simon Butcherc86993e2018-09-27 09:48:54 +01003125 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_CALLOC_MACRO and MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_FREE_MACRO.

Gilles Peskine604ccc62018-07-10 15:55:52 +02003129 * Removed support for Yotta as a build tool.
3130 * Add tests for session resumption in DTLS.
3131 * Close a test gap in (D)TLS between the client side and the server side:
Simon Butcherddc9e262018-10-27 18:27:41 +01003132 test the handling of large packets and small packets on the client side
3133 in the same way as on the server side.
Simon Butcher404aa652018-10-01 14:44:22 +01003134 * Change the dtls_client and dtls_server samples to work by default over
3135 IPv6 and optionally by a build option over IPv4.
3136 * Change the use of Windows threading to use Microsoft Visual C++ runtime
Simon Butcher681edee2018-11-07 16:25:38 +00003137 calls, rather than Win32 API calls directly. This is necessary to avoid
3138 conflict with C runtime usage. Found and fixed by irwir.
3139 * Remember the string format of X.509 DN attributes when replicating
3140 X.509 DNs. Previously, DN attributes were always written in their default
3141 string format (mostly PrintableString), which could lead to CRTs being
3142 created which used PrintableStrings in the issuer field even though the
3143 signing CA used UTF8Strings in its subject field; while X.509 compliant,
3144 such CRTs were rejected in some applications, e.g. some versions of
Hanno Becker0bb204c2018-10-30 10:08:33 +00003145 Firefox, curl and GnuTLS. Reported in #1033 by Moschn. Fix contributed by
3146 Thomas-Dee.
Janos Follath33329372018-09-06 10:41:33 +01003147 * Improve documentation of mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result().
3148 Fixes #517 reported by github-monoculture.
3149 * Add MBEDTLS_MPI_GEN_PRIME_FLAG_LOW_ERR flag to mbedtls_mpi_gen_prime() and
Simon Butcherc86993e2018-09-27 09:48:54 +01003150 use it to reduce error probability in RSA key generation to levels mandated

Andres Amaya Garciaa7b9f152018-08-16 21:46:35 +01003156 * Extend the platform module with an abstraction mbedtls_platform_gmtime_r()
Hanno Beckeracef2922018-09-05 16:19:07 +01003157 whose implementation should behave as a thread-safe version of gmtime().
3158 This allows users to configure such an implementation at compile time when
3159 the target system cannot be deduced automatically, by setting the option

3175Features
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardf2f1d402018-08-21 09:53:22 +02003176 * Add support for fragmentation of outgoing DTLS handshake messages. This
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard6e7aaca2018-08-20 10:37:23 +02003177 is controlled by the maximum fragment length as set locally or negotiated

3179 mbedtls_ssl_set_mtu().
3180 * Add support for auto-adjustment of MTU to a safe value during the
Hanno Beckerd87a59c2018-08-14 16:34:55 +01003181 handshake when flights do not get through (RFC 6347, section 4.1.1.1,

3208 * Fix a bug that caused SSL/TLS clients to incorrectly abort the handshake
3209 with TLS versions 1.1 and earlier when the server requested authentication
3210 without providing a list of CAs. This was due to an overly strict bounds
Hanno Becker44814642018-08-03 09:53:48 +01003211 check in parsing the CertificateRequest message,

3236Security
3237 * Fix a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based on CBC and using SHA-384,
3238 in (D)TLS 1.0 to 1.2, that allowed an active network attacker to
3239 partially recover the plaintext of messages under some conditions by
3240 exploiting timing measurements. With DTLS, the attacker could perform
3241 this recovery by sending many messages in the same connection. With TLS
3242 or if mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only
3243 worked if the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly
3244 sent over connections manipulated by the attacker. Connections using GCM
3245 or CCM instead of CBC, using hash sizes other than SHA-384, or using
3246 Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected. The vulnerability was
3247 caused by a miscalculation (for SHA-384) in a countermeasure to the

Simon Butcher00af4472018-07-10 15:35:43 +01003274 * Add platform support for the Haiku OS. (https://www.haiku-os.org).
3275 Contributed by Augustin Cavalier.
3276 * Make the receive and transmit buffers independent sizes, for situations
3277 where the outgoing buffer can be fixed at a smaller size than the incoming
3278 buffer, which can save some RAM. If buffer lengths are kept equal, there
Ron Eldor9cf0d532018-07-15 09:34:35 +03003279 is no functional difference. Contributed by Angus Gratton, and also

3307 Drozd. #1098
3308 * Fix decryption for zero length messages (which contain all padding) when a
3309 CBC based ciphersuite is used together with Encrypt-then-MAC. Previously,
3310 such a message was wrongly reported as an invalid record and therefore lead
3311 to the connection being terminated. Seen most often with OpenSSL using

3316 Fixes #1833.
Simon Butcher2c929492018-07-24 17:20:17 +01003317 * Correct the documentation for `mbedtls_ssl_get_session()`. This API has
Simon Butcher9e02b972018-06-28 11:56:57 +01003318 deep copy of the session, and the peer certificate is not lost. Fixes #926.

3368API Changes
3369 * Extend the platform module with a util component that contains
3370 functionality shared by multiple Mbed TLS modules. At this stage
3371 platform_util.h (and its associated platform_util.c) only contain
3372 mbedtls_platform_zeroize(), which is a critical function from a security
3373 point of view. mbedtls_platform_zeroize() needs to be regularly tested
3374 against compilers to ensure that calls to it are not removed from the
3375 output binary as part of redundant code elimination optimizations.
Hanno Becker2bd57572018-03-28 14:52:35 +01003376 Therefore, mbedtls_platform_zeroize() is moved to the platform module to
Simon Butcherd72700a2018-06-01 19:11:55 +01003377 facilitate testing and maintenance.

3390Security
3391 * Fix an issue in the X.509 module which could lead to a buffer overread
3392 during certificate validation. Additionally, the issue could also lead to
3393 unnecessary callback checks being made or to some validation checks to be
3394 omitted. The overread could be triggered remotely, while the other issues
3395 would require a non DER-compliant certificate to be correctly signed by a
3396 trusted CA, or a trusted CA with a non DER-compliant certificate. Found by
3397 luocm. Fixes #825.
3398 * Fix the buffer length assertion in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
3399 function which led to an arbitrary overread of the message buffer. The
3400 overreads could be caused by receiving a malformed message at the point
3401 where an optional signature algorithms list is expected when the signature
Andrzej Kurekb7a18c02018-04-25 05:25:30 -04003402 algorithms section is too short. In builds with debug output, the overread
Simon Butcherb03120a2018-04-30 16:40:25 +01003403 data is output with the debug data.
3404 * Fix a client-side bug in the validation of the server's ciphersuite choice
3405 which could potentially lead to the client accepting a ciphersuite it didn't
3406 offer or a ciphersuite that cannot be used with the TLS or DTLS version
Gilles Peskine5bdb6712018-03-22 21:34:15 +01003407 chosen by the server. This could lead to corruption of internal data

3420 * Extend the public API with the function of mbedtls_net_poll() to allow user
3421 applications to wait for a network context to become ready before reading
3422 or writing.
3423 * Add function mbedtls_ssl_check_pending() to the public API to allow
Gilles Peskine557e77d2018-04-04 09:18:11 +02003424 a check for whether more more data is pending to be processed in the
3425 internal message buffers.
Hanno Becker371f31c2017-06-07 15:56:54 +01003426 This function is necessary to determine when it is safe to idle on the

Jethro Beekmancb122372018-04-11 08:40:38 -07003442 * Fix parsing of PKCS#8 encoded Elliptic Curve keys. Previously Mbed TLS was
Simon Butcherb03120a2018-04-30 16:40:25 +01003443 unable to parse keys which had only the optional parameters field of the
3444 ECPrivateKey structure. Found by Jethro Beekman, fixed in #1379.
3445 * Return the plaintext data more quickly on unpadded CBC decryption, as
Gilles Peskineb9e86962018-04-04 09:20:59 +02003446 stated in the mbedtls_cipher_update() documentation. Contributed by

3449 a file in pk_sign program. Found by kevlut in #1142.
3450 * Restrict usage of error code MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_READ to situations
3451 where data needs to be fetched from the underlying transport in order
3452 to make progress. Previously, this error code was also occasionally
Simon Butcherb03120a2018-04-30 16:40:25 +01003453 returned when unexpected messages were being discarded, ignoring that
3454 further messages could potentially already be pending to be processed
Gilles Peskinef2b76cd2018-04-19 17:41:39 +02003455 in the internal buffers; these cases led to deadlocks when event-driven
3456 I/O was used. Found and reported by Hubert Mis in #772.
3457 * Fix buffer length assertions in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
Andrzej Kurek5462e022018-04-20 07:58:53 -04003458 function which leads to a potential one byte overread of the message
3459 buffer.

3461 decompression.
3462 * Fix the soversion of libmbedcrypto to match the soversion of the
3463 maintained 2.7 branch. The soversion was increased in Mbed TLS
Gilles Peskine08185402018-03-22 21:50:48 +01003464 version 2.7.1 to reflect breaking changes in that release, but the

3476 Budai.
3477 * Harden the function mbedtls_ssl_config_free() against misuse, so that it
3478 doesn't leak memory if the user doesn't use mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk() and
Andres Amaya Garciacb47a792018-03-27 21:19:50 +01003479 instead incorrectly manipulates the configuration structure directly.
3480 Found and fix submitted by junyeonLEE in #1220.
3481 * Provide an empty implementation of mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() when
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardfff308e2018-03-28 11:13:05 +02003482 MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C is not enabled. This allows the use of PBKDF2

3506 * Declare functions in header files even when an alternative implementation
3507 of the corresponding module is activated by defining the corresponding
3508 MBEDTLS_XXX_ALT macro. This means that alternative implementations do

Thomas Daubneyd596e992021-06-18 11:50:56 +01003515Default behavior changes
3516 * The truncated HMAC extension now conforms to RFC 6066. This means
3517 that when both sides of a TLS connection negotiate the truncated
3518 HMAC extension, Mbed TLS can now interoperate with other
3519 compliant implementations, but this breaks interoperability with
3520 prior versions of Mbed TLS. To restore the old behavior, enable
3521 the (deprecated) option MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC_COMPAT in
3522 config.h. Found by Andreas Walz (ivESK, Offenburg University of
3523 Applied Sciences).

Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00003597 * Fix a heap corruption issue in the implementation of the truncated HMAC
3598 extension. When the truncated HMAC extension is enabled and CBC is used,
3599 sending a malicious application packet could be used to selectively corrupt
3600 6 bytes on the peer's heap, which could potentially lead to crash or remote
3601 code execution. The issue could be triggered remotely from either side in
3602 both TLS and DTLS. CVE-2018-0488
3603 * Fix a buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the hash was too large
3604 for the key size, which could potentially lead to crash or remote code
3605 execution. Found by Seth Terashima, Qualcomm Product Security Initiative,
3606 Qualcomm Technologies Inc. CVE-2018-0487
3607 * Fix buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the unmasked data is all
3608 zeros.
3609 * Fix an unsafe bounds check in ssl_parse_client_psk_identity() when adding
3610 64 KiB to the address of the SSL buffer and causing a wrap around.
3611 * Fix a potential heap buffer overflow in mbedtls_ssl_write(). When the (by
Hanno Becker930025d2017-09-18 16:07:19 +01003612 default enabled) maximum fragment length extension is disabled in the
3613 config and the application data buffer passed to mbedtls_ssl_write
3614 is larger than the internal message buffer (16384 bytes by default), the
3615 latter overflows. The exploitability of this issue depends on whether the
3616 application layer can be forced into sending such large packets. The issue
3617 was independently reported by Tim Nordell via e-mail and by Florin Petriuc
Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00003618 and sjorsdewit on GitHub. Fix proposed by Florin Petriuc in #1022.

3621 constancy of mbedtls_ssl_safer_memcmp().
Andres Amaya Garcia364051f2017-07-05 15:40:17 +01003622 * Ensure that buffers are cleared after use if they contain sensitive data.
Andres Amaya Garciad48ba2b2017-07-06 17:17:43 +01003623 Changes were introduced in multiple places in the library.
Ron Eldor31162e42017-09-05 15:34:35 +03003624 * Set PEM buffer to zero before freeing it, to avoid decoded private keys
3625 being leaked to memory after release.
Janos Follathb174c842017-09-20 16:26:04 +01003626 * Fix dhm_check_range() failing to detect trivial subgroups and potentially
3627 leaking 1 bit of the private key. Reported by prashantkspatil.
Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00003628 * Make mbedtls_mpi_read_binary() constant-time with respect to the input
3629 data. Previously, trailing zero bytes were detected and omitted for the
3630 sake of saving memory, but potentially leading to slight timing
3631 differences. Reported by Marco Macchetti, Kudelski Group.
Hanno Becker509fef72017-10-19 10:10:18 +01003632 * Wipe stack buffer temporarily holding EC private exponent
3633 after keypair generation.

Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard239987f2018-01-09 10:43:43 +01003635 (server-side). Could result in application crash, but only if an ALPN
3636 name larger than 16 bytes had been configured on the server.
Hanno Becker0cd5b942017-10-13 17:17:28 +01003637 * Change default choice of DHE parameters from untrustworthy RFC 5114
3638 to RFC 3526 containing parameters generated in a nothing-up-my-sleeve

Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00003670 mbedtls_rsa_import() and mbedtls_rsa_complete() are introduced for setting
Hanno Beckera47023e2017-12-22 17:08:03 +00003671 up RSA contexts from partial key material and having them completed to the
3672 needs of the implementation automatically. This allows to setup private RSA
3673 contexts from keys consisting of N,D,E only, even if P,Q are needed for the
3674 purpose or CRT and/or blinding.
3675 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_RSA_ALT can be used to define alternative
3676 implementations of the RSA interface declared in rsa.h.
Gilles Peskine0a969102018-01-22 14:55:20 +01003677 * The following functions in the message digest modules (MD2, MD4, MD5,
3678 SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) have been deprecated and replaced as shown below.
3679 The new functions change the return type from void to int to allow
3680 returning error codes when using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT.

Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00003688 (e.g. signing with a public key).
Andres Amaya Garciaf569f702017-06-28 09:25:10 +01003689 * Direct manipulation of structure fields of RSA contexts is deprecated.
3690 Users are advised to use the extended RSA API instead.
Jaeden Amero005239e2018-01-25 14:47:39 +00003691 * Deprecate usage of message digest functions that return void
3692 (mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts, mbedtls_<MODULE>_update,
3693 mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish and mbedtls_<MODULE>_process where <MODULE> is
3694 any of MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) in favor of functions
3695 that can return an error code.
Hanno Becker0cd5b942017-10-13 17:17:28 +01003696 * Deprecate untrustworthy DHE parameters from RFC 5114. Superseded by
3697 parameters from RFC 3526 or the newly added parameters from RFC 7919.
3698 * Deprecate hex string DHE constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P etc.
3699 Supserseded by binary encoded constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P_BIN
3700 etc.

Simon Butcherb65c2be2017-03-10 18:50:44 +00003964 * Add checks to prevent signature forgeries for very large messages while
3965 using RSA through the PK module in 64-bit systems. The issue was caused by
3966 some data loss when casting a size_t to an unsigned int value in the
3967 functions rsa_verify_wrap(), rsa_sign_wrap(), rsa_alt_sign_wrap() and
3968 mbedtls_pk_sign(). Found by Jean-Philippe Aumasson.
Andres AG939954c2016-12-08 17:08:44 +00003969 * Fixed potential livelock during the parsing of a CRL in PEM format in
3970 mbedtls_x509_crl_parse(). A string containing a CRL followed by trailing
3971 characters after the footer could result in the execution of an infinite
3972 loop. The issue can be triggered remotely. Found by Greg Zaverucha,
3973 Microsoft.
Janos Follath182013f2016-10-25 10:50:22 +01003974 * Removed MD5 from the allowed hash algorithms for CertificateRequest and
3975 CertificateVerify messages, to prevent SLOTH attacks against TLS 1.2.
Simon Butcher0621b1f2017-02-05 16:48:47 +00003976 Introduced by interoperability fix for #513.
Janos Follath7dadc2f2017-01-27 16:05:20 +00003977 * Fixed a bug that caused freeing a buffer that was allocated on the stack,
3978 when verifying the validity of a key on secp224k1. This could be
3979 triggered remotely for example with a maliciously constructed certificate
Simon Butcher71e9d582017-02-28 18:47:27 +00003980 and potentially could lead to remote code execution on some platforms.

3986 traversing a chain of trusted CA. The issue would cause both flags,
3987 MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_NOT_TRUSTED and MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_EXPIRED, to be
3988 set when the verification conditions are not met regardless of the cause.

Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard6963ff02015-04-28 18:02:54 +02004389 * The following _init() functions that could return errors have
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardc34e8dd2015-04-28 21:42:17 +02004390 been split into an _init() that returns void and another function that
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard2f84e972015-05-11 09:52:24 +02004391 should generally be the first function called on this context after init:
4392 mbedtls_ssl_init() -> mbedtls_ssl_setup()
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard06939ce2015-05-11 11:25:46 +02004393 mbedtls_ccm_init() -> mbedtls_ccm_setkey()

Tillmann Karras588ad502015-09-25 04:27:22 +02004397 Note that for mbedtls_ssl_setup(), you need to be done setting up the
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardcaace652015-05-11 09:57:11 +02004398 ssl_config structure before calling it.
4399 * Most ssl_set_xxx() functions (all except ssl_set_bio(), ssl_set_hostname(),
4400 ssl_set_session() and ssl_set_client_transport_id(), plus
4401 ssl_legacy_renegotiation()) have been renamed to mbedtls_ssl_conf_xxx()

4409 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_ca_chain()
4410 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk()
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardcaace652015-05-11 09:57:11 +02004411 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_ca_chain() lost its last argument (peer_cn), now set
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardbc2b7712015-05-06 11:14:19 +01004412 using mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname().
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard01e5e8c2015-05-11 10:11:56 +02004413 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_cache() changed prototype (only one context
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard5cb33082015-05-06 18:06:26 +01004414 pointer, parameters reordered).
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard866eb472015-05-25 19:41:37 +02004415 * On server, mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets_cb() must now be used in
4416 place of mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets() to enable session tickets.

4418 * Debug modes were removed.
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard01e5e8c2015-05-11 10:11:56 +02004419 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_truncated_hmac() now returns void.

4423 mbedtls_x509_ctr_verify_info()
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard96936682015-06-02 15:14:15 +01004424 mbedtls_x509_crt_verify() (flags, f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnarde6ef16f2015-05-11 19:54:43 +02004425 mbedtls_ssl_conf_verify() (f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardbc6ff232015-06-02 16:33:08 +01004426 * The following functions changed prototype to avoid an in-out length
4427 parameter:
4428 mbedtls_base64_encode()
4429 mbedtls_base64_decode()
4430 mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
4431 mbedtls_dhm_calc_secret()
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard91895852015-06-30 13:34:45 +02004432 * In the NET module, all "int" and "int *" arguments for file descriptors
4433 changed type to "mbedtls_net_context *".
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard0b104b02015-05-14 21:52:40 +02004434 * net_accept() gained new arguments for the size of the client_ip buffer.

4436 return void.
Antonin Décimo36e89b52019-01-23 15:24:37 +01004437 * ecdsa_write_signature() gained an additional md_alg argument and
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnarddfdcac92015-03-31 11:41:42 +02004438 ecdsa_write_signature_det() was deprecated.

4441 mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_key_usage() changed from int to unsigned.
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnarda958d692015-03-27 10:23:53 +01004442 * test_ca_list (from certs.h) is renamed to test_cas_pem and is only
4443 available if POLARSSL_PEM_PARSE_C is defined (it never worked without).
4444 * Test certificates in certs.c are no longer guaranteed to be nul-terminated
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard75f90102015-03-27 09:56:18 +01004445 strings; use the new *_len variables instead of strlen().
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard43b37cb2015-05-12 11:20:10 +02004446 * Functions mbedtls_x509_xxx_parse(), mbedtls_pk_parse_key(),
4447 mbedtls_pk_parse_public_key() and mbedtls_dhm_parse_dhm() now expect the
4448 length parameter to include the terminating null byte for PEM input.

Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard5b9e5b12015-05-26 17:46:09 +02004450 * calloc() is now used instead of malloc() everywhere. API of platform
4451 layer and the memory_buffer_alloc module changed accordingly.
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard1b8de572015-05-27 16:49:37 +02004452 (Thanks to Mansour Moufid for helping with the replacement.)
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard88bdb0b2015-03-10 14:02:33 +00004453 * Change SSL_DISABLE_RENEGOTIATION config.h flag to SSL_RENEGOTIATION
4454 (support for renegotiation now needs explicit enabling in config.h).
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard60c793b2015-06-18 20:52:58 +02004455 * Split MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME into MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME and MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE
4456 in config.h

4475 * Configuration options POLARSSL_HAVE_LONGLONG was removed (now always on).
4476 * Configuration options POLARSSL_HAVE_INT8 and POLARSSL_HAVE_INT16 have
4477 been removed (compiler is required to support 32-bit operations).
4478 * Configuration option POLARSSL_HAVE_IPV6 was removed (always enabled).
4479 * Removed test program o_p_test, the script compat.sh does more.

Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard348bcb32015-03-31 14:01:33 +02004505 * Support for RSA_ALT contexts in the PK layer is now optional. Since is is
4506 enabled in the default configuration, this is only noticeable if using a
4507 custom config.h
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard1028b742015-05-06 17:33:07 +01004508 * Default DHM parameters server-side upgraded from 1024 to 2048 bits.

Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard0c890352015-05-13 10:28:41 +02004531 * DTLS no longer hard-depends on TIMING_C, but uses a callback interface
4532 instead, see mbedtls_ssl_set_timer_cb(), with the Timing module providing
4533 an example implementation, see mbedtls_timing_delay_context and
4534 mbedtls_timing_set/get_delay().
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardabc729e2015-07-01 01:28:24 +02004535 * With UDP sockets, it is no longer necessary to call net_bind() again
4536 after a successful net_accept().
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard1b511f92015-05-06 15:54:23 +01004537
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard0a4fb092015-05-07 12:50:31 +01004538Changes
