Paul Elliott2238eed2022-07-08 18:19:12 +01001Mbed TLS ChangeLog (Sorted per branch, date)
2
Dave Rodgman69591e92022-12-08 14:59:54 +00003= Mbed TLS 3.3.0 branch released 2022-12-14
4
Dave Rodgman69591e92022-12-08 14:59:54 +00005Default behavior changes
6 * Previously the macro MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID implemented version 05
7 of the IETF draft, and was marked experimental and disabled by default.
8 It is now no longer experimental, and implements the final version from
9 RFC 9146, which is not interoperable with the draft-05 version.
10 If you need to communicate with peers that use earlier versions of
11 Mbed TLS, then you need to define MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID_COMPAT
12 to 1, but then you won't be able to communicate with peers that use the
13 standard (non-draft) version.
14 If you need to interoperate with both classes of peers with the
15 same build of Mbed TLS, please let us know about your situation on the
16 mailing list or GitHub.
17
18Requirement changes
19 * When building with PSA drivers using generate_driver_wrappers.py, or
20 when building the library from the development branch rather than
21 from a release, the Python module jsonschema is now necessary, in
22 addition to jinja2. The official list of required Python modules is
23 maintained in scripts/basic.requirements.txt and may change again
24 in the future.
25
26New deprecations
27 * Deprecate mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data().
28 Use mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list()
29 or mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list_shallow().
30
31Features
32 * Support rsa_pss_rsae_* signature algorithms in TLS 1.2.
33 * make: enable building unversioned shared library, with e.g.:
34 "SHARED=1 SOEXT_TLS=so SOEXT_X509=so SOEXT_CRYPTO=so make lib"
35 resulting in library names like "libmbedtls.so" rather than
36 "libmbedcrypto.so.11".
37 * Expose the EC J-PAKE functionality through the Draft PSA PAKE Crypto API.
38 Only the ECC primitive with secp256r1 curve and SHA-256 hash algorithm
39 are supported in this implementation.
40 * Some modules can now use PSA drivers for hashes, including with no
41 built-in implementation present, but only in some configurations.
42 - RSA OAEP and PSS (PKCS#1 v2.1), PKCS5, PKCS12 and EC J-PAKE now use
43 hashes from PSA when (and only when) MBEDTLS_MD_C is disabled.
44 - PEM parsing of encrypted files now uses MD-5 from PSA when (and only
45 when) MBEDTLS_MD5_C is disabled.
46 See the documentation of the corresponding macros in mbedtls_config.h for
47 details.
48 Note that some modules are not able to use hashes from PSA yet, including
49 the entropy module. As a consequence, for now the only way to build with
50 all hashes only provided by drivers (no built-in hash) is to use
51 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG.
52 * When MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled, X.509, TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 now
53 properly negotiate/accept hashes based on their availability in PSA.
54 As a consequence, they now work in configurations where the built-in
55 implementations of (some) hashes are excluded and those hashes are only
56 provided by PSA drivers. (See previous entry for limitation on RSA-PSS
57 though: that module only use hashes from PSA when MBEDTLS_MD_C is off).
58 * Add support for opaque keys as the private keys associated to certificates
59 for authentication in TLS 1.3.
60 * Add the LMS post-quantum-safe stateful-hash asymmetric signature scheme.
61 Signature verification is production-ready, but generation is for testing
62 purposes only. This currently only supports one parameter set
63 (LMS_SHA256_M32_H10), meaning that each private key can be used to sign
64 1024 messages. As such, it is not intended for use in TLS, but instead
65 for verification of assets transmitted over an insecure channel,
66 particularly firmware images.
67 * Add the LM-OTS post-quantum-safe one-time signature scheme, which is
68 required for LMS. This can be used independently, but each key can only
69 be used to sign one message so is impractical for most circumstances.
70 * Mbed TLS now supports TLS 1.3 key establishment via pre-shared keys.
71 The pre-shared keys can be provisioned externally or via the ticket
72 mechanism (session resumption).
73 The ticket mechanism is supported when the configuration option
74 MBEDTLS_SSL_SESSION_TICKETS is enabled.
75 New options MBEDTLS_SSL_TLS1_3_KEY_EXCHANGE_MODE_xxx_ENABLED
76 control the support for the three possible TLS 1.3 key exchange modes.
77 * cert_write: support for setting extended key usage attributes. A
78 corresponding new public API call has been added in the library,
79 mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_ext_key_usage().
80 * cert_write: support for writing certificate files in either PEM
81 or DER format.
82 * The PSA driver wrapper generator generate_driver_wrappers.py now
83 supports a subset of the driver description language, including
84 the following entry points: import_key, export_key, export_public_key,
85 get_builtin_key, copy_key.
86 * The new functions mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list() and
87 mbedtls_asn1_free_named_data_list_shallow() simplify the management
88 of memory in named data lists in X.509 structures.
89 * The TLS 1.2 EC J-PAKE key exchange can now use the PSA Crypto API.
90 Additional PSA key slots will be allocated in the process of such key
91 exchange for builds that enable MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECJPAKE_ENABLED and
92 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO.
93 * Add support for DTLS Connection ID as defined by RFC 9146, controlled by
94 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID (enabled by default) and configured with
95 mbedtls_ssl_set_cid().
96 * Add a driver dispatch layer for raw key agreement, enabling alternative
97 implementations of raw key agreement through the key_agreement driver
98 entry point. This entry point is specified in the proposed PSA driver
99 interface, but had not yet been implemented.
Dave Rodgman552e1072022-12-14 17:01:51 +0000100 * Add an ad-hoc key derivation function handling EC J-PAKE to PMS
101 calculation that can be used to derive the session secret in TLS 1.2,
102 as described in draft-cragie-tls-ecjpake-01. This can be achieved by
103 using PSA_ALG_TLS12_ECJPAKE_TO_PMS as the key derivation algorithm.
Dave Rodgman69591e92022-12-08 14:59:54 +0000104
105Security
106 * Fix potential heap buffer overread and overwrite in DTLS if
107 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID is enabled and
108 MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_IN_LEN_MAX > 2 * MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_OUT_LEN_MAX.
Tom Cosgroveb3c6a1e2023-03-08 15:47:00 +0000109 * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough information
110 about memory accesses (typically, an untrusted operating system attacking
111 a secure enclave) could recover an RSA private key after observing the
112 victim performing a single private-key operation if the window size used
113 for the exponentiation was 3 or smaller. Found and reported by Zili KOU,
Dave Rodgman69591e92022-12-08 14:59:54 +0000114 Wenjian HE, Sharad Sinha, and Wei ZHANG. See "Cache Side-channel Attacks
115 and Defenses of the Sliding Window Algorithm in TEEs" - Design, Automation
116 and Test in Europe 2023.
117
118Bugfix
119 * Refactor mbedtls_aes_context to support shallow-copying. Fixes #2147.
120 * Fix an issue with in-tree CMake builds in releases with GEN_FILES
121 turned off: if a shipped file was missing from the working directory,
122 it could be turned into a symbolic link to itself.
123 * Fix a long-standing build failure when building x86 PIC code with old
124 gcc (4.x). The code will be slower, but will compile. We do however
125 recommend upgrading to a more recent compiler instead. Fixes #1910.
126 * Fix support for little-endian Microblaze when MBEDTLS_HAVE_ASM is defined.
127 Contributed by Kazuyuki Kimura to fix #2020.
128 * Use double quotes to include private header file psa_crypto_cipher.h.
129 Fixes 'file not found with <angled> include' error
130 when building with Xcode.
131 * Fix handling of broken symlinks when loading certificates using
132 mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path(). Instead of returning an error as soon as a
133 broken link is encountered, skip the broken link and continue parsing
134 other certificate files. Contributed by Eduardo Silva in #2602.
135 * Fix an interoperability failure between an Mbed TLS client with both
136 TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 support, and a TLS 1.2 server that supports
137 rsa_pss_rsae_* signature algorithms. This failed because Mbed TLS
138 advertised support for PSS in both TLS 1.2 and 1.3, but only
139 actually supported PSS in TLS 1.3.
140 * Fix a compilation error when using CMake with an IAR toolchain.
141 Fixes #5964.
142 * Fix a build error due to a missing prototype warning when
143 MBEDTLS_DEPRECATED_REMOVED is enabled.
144 * Fix mbedtls_ctr_drbg_free() on an initialized but unseeded context. When
145 MBEDTLS_AES_ALT is enabled, it could call mbedtls_aes_free() on an
146 uninitialized context.
147 * Fix a build issue on Windows using CMake where the source and build
148 directories could not be on different drives. Fixes #5751.
149 * Fix bugs and missing dependencies when building and testing
150 configurations with only one encryption type enabled in TLS 1.2.
151 * Provide the missing definition of mbedtls_setbuf() in some configurations
152 with MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_C disabled. Fixes #6118, #6196.
153 * Fix compilation errors when trying to build with
154 PSA drivers for AEAD (GCM, CCM, Chacha20-Poly1305).
155 * Fix memory leak in ssl_parse_certificate_request() caused by
156 mbedtls_x509_get_name() not freeing allocated objects in case of error.
157 Change mbedtls_x509_get_name() to clean up allocated objects on error.
158 * Fix build failure with MBEDTLS_RSA_C and MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C but not
159 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO or MBEDTLS_PK_WRITE_C. Fixes #6408.
160 * Fix build failure with MBEDTLS_RSA_C and MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C but not
161 MBEDTLS_PK_PARSE_C. Fixes #6409.
162 * Fix ECDSA verification, where it was not always validating the
163 public key. This bug meant that it was possible to verify a
164 signature with an invalid public key, in some cases. Reported by
165 Guido Vranken using Cryptofuzz in #4420.
166 * Fix a possible null pointer dereference if a memory allocation fails
167 in TLS PRF code. Reported by Michael Madsen in #6516.
168 * Fix TLS 1.3 session resumption. Fixes #6488.
169 * Add a configuration check to exclude optional client authentication
170 in TLS 1.3 (where it is forbidden).
171 * Fix a bug in which mbedtls_x509_crt_info() would produce non-printable
172 bytes when parsing certificates containing a binary RFC 4108
173 HardwareModuleName as a Subject Alternative Name extension. Hardware
174 serial numbers are now rendered in hex format. Fixes #6262.
175 * Fix bug in error reporting in dh_genprime.c where upon failure,
176 the error code returned by mbedtls_mpi_write_file() is overwritten
177 and therefore not printed.
178 * In the bignum module, operations of the form (-A) - (+A) or (-A) - (-A)
179 with A > 0 created an unintended representation of the value 0 which was
180 not processed correctly by some bignum operations. Fix this. This had no
181 consequence on cryptography code, but might affect applications that call
182 bignum directly and use negative numbers.
183 * Fix a bug whereby the list of signature algorithms sent as part of
184 the TLS 1.2 server certificate request would get corrupted, meaning the
185 first algorithm would not get sent and an entry consisting of two random
186 bytes would be sent instead. Found by Serban Bejan and Dudek Sebastian.
187 * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) of
188 mbedtls_mpi_add_mpi(), mbedtls_mpi_add_abs() and mbedtls_mpi_add_int()
189 when both operands are 0 and the left operand is represented with 0 limbs.
190 * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) when some bignum
191 functions receive the most negative value of mbedtls_mpi_sint. Credit
192 to OSS-Fuzz. Fixes #6597.
193 * Fix undefined behavior (typically harmless in practice) in PSA ECB
194 encryption and decryption.
195 * Move some SSL-specific code out of libmbedcrypto where it had been placed
196 accidentally.
197 * Fix a build error when compiling the bignum module for some Arm platforms.
198 Fixes #6089, #6124, #6217.
199
200Changes
201 * Add the ability to query PSA_WANT_xxx macros to query_compile_time_config.
202 * Calling AEAD tag-specific functions for non-AEAD algorithms (which
203 should not be done - they are documented for use only by AES-GCM and
204 ChaCha20+Poly1305) now returns MBEDTLS_ERR_CIPHER_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE
205 instead of success (0).
206
Paul Elliott869298b2022-07-12 10:39:42 +0100207= Mbed TLS 3.2.1 branch released 2022-07-12
208
209Bugfix
Paul Elliott4ecb1b52022-09-20 14:33:13 +0100210 * Re-add missing generated file library/psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.c
Paul Elliott869298b2022-07-12 10:39:42 +0100211
Paul Elliott2238eed2022-07-08 18:19:12 +0100212= Mbed TLS 3.2.0 branch released 2022-07-11
213
214Default behavior changes
215 * mbedtls_cipher_set_iv will now fail with ChaCha20 and ChaCha20+Poly1305
216 for IV lengths other than 12. The library was silently overwriting this
217 length with 12, but did not inform the caller about it. Fixes #4301.
218
219Requirement changes
220 * The library will no longer compile out of the box on a platform without
221 setbuf(). If your platform does not have setbuf(), you can configure an
222 alternative function by enabling MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETBUF_ALT or
223 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETBUF_MACRO.
224
225New deprecations
226 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version() and
227 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version() in favor of
228 mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_tls_version() and
229 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_tls_version().
230 * Deprecate mbedtls_cipher_setup_psa(). Use psa_aead_xxx() or
231 psa_cipher_xxx() directly instead.
232 * Secure element drivers enabled by MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C are deprecated.
233 This was intended as an experimental feature, but had not been explicitly
234 documented as such. Use opaque drivers with the interface enabled by
235 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVERS instead.
236 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_hashes() in favor of the more generic
237 mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_algs(). Signature algorithms for the TLS 1.2 and
238 TLS 1.3 handshake should now be configured with
239 mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_algs().
240
241Features
242 * Add accessor to obtain ciphersuite id from ssl context.
243 * Add accessors to get members from ciphersuite info.
244 * Add mbedtls_ssl_ticket_rotate() for external ticket rotation.
245 * Add accessor to get the raw buffer pointer from a PEM context.
246 * The structures mbedtls_ssl_config and mbedtls_ssl_context now store
247 a piece of user data which is reserved for the application. The user
248 data can be either a pointer or an integer.
249 * Add an accessor function to get the configuration associated with
250 an SSL context.
251 * Add a function to access the protocol version from an SSL context in a
252 form that's easy to compare. Fixes #5407.
253 * Add function mbedtls_md_info_from_ctx() to recall the message digest
254 information that was used to set up a message digest context.
255 * Add ALPN support in TLS 1.3 clients.
256 * Add server certificate selection callback near end of Client Hello.
257 Register callback with mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_cb().
258 * Provide mechanism to reset handshake cert list by calling
259 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_own_cert() with NULL value for own_cert param.
260 * Add accessor mbedtls_ssl_get_hs_sni() to retrieve SNI from within
261 cert callback (mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_cb()) during handshake.
262 * The X.509 module now uses PSA hash acceleration if present.
263 * Add support for psa crypto key derivation for elliptic curve
264 keys. Fixes #3260.
265 * Add function mbedtls_timing_get_final_delay() to access the private
266 final delay field in an mbedtls_timing_delay_context, as requested in
267 #5183.
268 * Add mbedtls_pk_sign_ext() which allows generating RSA-PSS signatures when
269 PSA Crypto is enabled.
270 * Add function mbedtls_ecp_export() to export ECP key pair parameters.
271 Fixes #4838.
272 * Add function mbedtls_ssl_is_handshake_over() to enable querying if the SSL
273 Handshake has completed or not, and thus whether to continue calling
274 mbedtls_ssl_handshake_step(), requested in #4383.
275 * Add the function mbedtls_ssl_get_own_cid() to access our own connection id
276 within mbedtls_ssl_context, as requested in #5184.
277 * Introduce mbedtls_ssl_hs_cb_t typedef for use with
278 mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_cb() and perhaps future callbacks
279 during TLS handshake.
280 * Add functions mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_tls_version() and
281 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_tls_version() that use a single value to specify
282 the protocol version.
283 * Extend the existing PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS() algorithm to support
284 mixed-PSK. Add an optional input PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_OTHER_SECRET
285 holding the other secret.
286 * When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is enabled, you may list the PSA crypto
287 feature requirements in the file named by the new macro
288 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG_FILE instead of the default psa/crypto_config.h.
289 Furthermore you may name an additional file to include after the main
290 file with the macro MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_USER_CONFIG_FILE.
291 * Add the function mbedtls_x509_crt_has_ext_type() to access the ext types
292 field within mbedtls_x509_crt context, as requested in #5585.
293 * Add HKDF-Expand and HKDF-Extract as separate algorithms in the PSA API.
294 * Add support for the ARMv8 SHA-2 acceleration instructions when building
295 for Aarch64.
296 * Add support for authentication of TLS 1.3 clients by TLS 1.3 servers.
297 * Add support for server HelloRetryRequest message. The TLS 1.3 client is
298 now capable of negotiating another shared secret if the one sent in its
299 first ClientHello was not suitable to the server.
300 * Add support for client-side TLS version negotiation. If both TLS 1.2 and
301 TLS 1.3 protocols are enabled in the build of Mbed TLS, the TLS client now
302 negotiates TLS 1.3 or TLS 1.2 with TLS servers.
303 * Enable building of Mbed TLS with TLS 1.3 protocol support but without TLS
304 1.2 protocol support.
305 * Mbed TLS provides an implementation of a TLS 1.3 server (ephemeral key
306 establishment only). See docs/architecture/tls13-support.md for a
307 description of the support. The MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3 and
308 MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_C configuration options control this.
309 * Add accessors to configure DN hints for certificate request:
310 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dn_hints() and mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_dn_hints()
311 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO, which previously
312 affected only a limited subset of crypto operations in TLS, X.509 and PK,
313 now causes most of them to be done using PSA Crypto; see
314 docs/use-psa-crypto.md for the list of exceptions.
315 * The function mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque() now supports RSA key pairs as well.
316 Opaque keys can now be used everywhere a private key is expected in the
317 TLS and X.509 modules.
318 * Opaque pre-shared keys for TLS, provisioned with
319 mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk_opaque() or mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk_opaque(), which
320 previously only worked for "pure" PSK key exchange, now can also be used
321 for the "mixed" PSK key exchanges as well: ECDHE-PSK, DHE-PSK, RSA-PSK.
322 * cmake now detects if it is being built as a sub-project, and in that case
323 disables the target export/installation and package configuration.
324 * Make USE_PSA_CRYPTO compatible with KEY_ID_ENCODES_OWNER. Fixes #5259.
325 * Add example programs cipher_aead_demo.c, md_hmac_demo.c, aead_demo.c
326 and hmac_demo.c, which use PSA and the md/cipher interfaces side
327 by side in order to illustrate how the operation is performed in PSA.
328 Addresses #5208.
329
330Security
331 * Zeroize dynamically-allocated buffers used by the PSA Crypto key storage
332 module before freeing them. These buffers contain secret key material, and
333 could thus potentially leak the key through freed heap.
334 * Fix potential memory leak inside mbedtls_ssl_cache_set() with
335 an invalid session id length.
336 * Add the platform function mbedtls_setbuf() to allow buffering to be
337 disabled on stdio files, to stop secrets loaded from said files being
338 potentially left in memory after file operations. Reported by
339 Glenn Strauss.
340 * Fix a potential heap buffer overread in TLS 1.2 server-side when
341 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled, an opaque key (created with
342 mbedtls_pk_setup_opaque()) is provisioned, and a static ECDH ciphersuite
343 is selected. This may result in an application crash or potentially an
344 information leak.
345 * Fix a buffer overread in DTLS ClientHello parsing in servers with
346 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE enabled. An unauthenticated client
347 or a man-in-the-middle could cause a DTLS server to read up to 255 bytes
348 after the end of the SSL input buffer. The buffer overread only happens
349 when MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN is less than a threshold that depends on
350 the exact configuration: 258 bytes if using mbedtls_ssl_cookie_check(),
351 and possibly up to 571 bytes with a custom cookie check function.
352 Reported by the Cybeats PSI Team.
353 * Fix a buffer overread in TLS 1.3 Certificate parsing. An unauthenticated
354 client or server could cause an MbedTLS server or client to overread up
355 to 64 kBytes of data and potentially overread the input buffer by that
356 amount minus the size of the input buffer. As overread data undergoes
357 various checks, the likelihood of reaching the boundary of the input
358 buffer is rather small but increases as its size
359 MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN decreases.
360 * Fix check of certificate key usage in TLS 1.3. The usage of the public key
361 provided by a client or server certificate for authentication was not
362 checked properly when validating the certificate. This could cause a
363 client or server to be able to authenticate itself through a certificate
364 to an Mbed TLS TLS 1.3 server or client while it does not own a proper
365 certificate to do so.
366
367Bugfix
368 * Declare or use PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG following the general
369 pattern for PSA_WANT_xxx symbols. Previously you had to specify
370 PSA_WANT_ALG_CCM for PSA_ALG_CCM_STAR_NO_TAG.
371 * Fix a memory leak if mbedtls_ssl_config_defaults() is called twice.
372 * Fixed swap of client and server random bytes when exporting them alongside
373 TLS 1.3 handshake and application traffic secret.
374 * Fix several bugs (warnings, compiler and linker errors, test failures)
375 in reduced configurations when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
376 * Fix a bug in (D)TLS curve negotiation: when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO was
377 enabled and an ECDHE-ECDSA or ECDHE-RSA key exchange was used, the
378 client would fail to check that the curve selected by the server for
379 ECDHE was indeed one that was offered. As a result, the client would
380 accept any curve that it supported, even if that curve was not allowed
381 according to its configuration. Fixes #5291.
382 * The TLS 1.3 implementation is now compatible with the
383 MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO configuration option.
384 * Fix unit tests that used 0 as the file UID. This failed on some
385 implementations of PSA ITS. Fixes #3838.
386 * Fix mbedtls_ssl_get_version() not reporting TLSv1.3. Fixes #5406.
387 * Fix API violation in mbedtls_md_process() test by adding a call to
388 mbedtls_md_starts(). Fixes #2227.
389 * Fix compile errors when MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME is not defined. Add tests
390 to catch bad uses of time.h.
391 * Fix a race condition in out-of-source builds with CMake when generated data
392 files are already present. Fixes #5374.
393 * Fix the library search path when building a shared library with CMake
394 on Windows.
395 * Fix bug in the alert sending function mbedtls_ssl_send_alert_message()
396 potentially leading to corrupted alert messages being sent in case
397 the function needs to be re-called after initially returning
398 MBEDTLS_SSL_WANT_WRITE. Fixes #1916.
399 * In configurations with MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID enabled but not
400 MBEDTLS_DEBUG_C, DTLS handshakes using CID would crash due to a null
401 pointer dereference. Fix this. Fixes #3998.
402 The fix was released, but not announced, in Mbed TLS 3.1.0.
403 * Fix incorrect documentation of mbedtls_x509_crt_profile. The previous
404 documentation stated that the `allowed_pks` field applies to signatures
405 only, but in fact it does apply to the public key type of the end entity
406 certificate, too. Fixes #1992.
407 * Fix undefined behavior in mbedtls_asn1_find_named_data(), where val is
408 not NULL and val_len is zero.
409 * Fix compilation error with mingw32. Fixed by Cameron Cawley in #4211.
410 * Fix compilation error when using C++ Builder on Windows. Reported by
411 Miroslav Mastny in #4015.
412 * psa_raw_key_agreement() now returns PSA_ERROR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL when
413 applicable. Fixes #5735.
414 * Fix a bug in the x25519 example program where the removal of
415 MBEDTLS_ECDH_LEGACY_CONTEXT caused the program not to run. Fixes #4901 and
416 #3191.
417 * Fix a TLS 1.3 handshake failure when the peer Finished message has not
418 been received yet when we first try to fetch it.
419 * Encode X.509 dates before 1/1/2000 as UTCTime rather than
420 GeneralizedTime. Fixes #5465.
421 * Add mbedtls_x509_dn_get_next function to return the next relative DN in
422 an X509 name, to allow walking the name list. Fixes #5431.
423 * Fix order value of curve x448.
424 * Fix string representation of DNs when outputting values containing commas
425 and other special characters, conforming to RFC 1779. Fixes #769.
426 * Silence a warning from GCC 12 in the selftest program. Fixes #5974.
427 * Fix check_config.h to check that we have MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE
428 when MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3 is specified, and make this and other
429 dependencies explicit in the documentation. Fixes #5610.
430 * Fix mbedtls_asn1_write_mpi() writing an incorrect encoding of 0.
431 * Fix a TLS 1.3 handshake failure when the first attempt to send the client
432 Finished message on the network cannot be satisfied. Fixes #5499.
433 * Fix resource leaks in mbedtls_pk_parse_public_key() in low
434 memory conditions.
435 * Fix server connection identifier setting for outgoing encrypted records
436 on DTLS 1.2 session resumption. After DTLS 1.2 session resumption with
437 connection identifier, the Mbed TLS client now properly sends the server
438 connection identifier in encrypted record headers. Fix #5872.
439 * Fix a null pointer dereference when performing some operations on zero
440 represented with 0 limbs (specifically mbedtls_mpi_mod_int() dividing
441 by 2, and mbedtls_mpi_write_string() in base 2).
442 * Fix record sizes larger than 16384 being sometimes accepted despite being
443 non-compliant. This could not lead to a buffer overflow. In particular,
444 application data size was already checked correctly.
445 * Fix MBEDTLS_SVC_KEY_ID_GET_KEY_ID() and MBEDTLS_SVC_KEY_ID_GET_OWNER_ID()
446 which have been broken, resulting in compilation errors, since Mbed TLS
447 3.0.
448 * Ensure that TLS 1.2 ciphersuite/certificate and key selection takes into
449 account not just the type of the key (RSA vs EC) but also what it can
450 actually do. Resolves #5831.
451 * Fix CMake windows host detection, especially when cross compiling.
452 * Fix an error in make where the absence of a generated file caused
453 make to break on a clean checkout. Fixes #5340.
454 * Work around an MSVC ARM64 compiler bug causing incorrect behaviour
455 in mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod(). Reported by Tautvydas Žilys in #5467.
Dave Rodgman2b52a2e2022-12-12 15:23:44 +0000456 * Removed the prompt to exit from all windows build programs, which was causing
Paul Elliott2238eed2022-07-08 18:19:12 +0100457 issues in CI/CD environments.
458
459Changes
460 * The file library/psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.c is now generated
461 from a template. In the future, the generation will support
462 driver descriptions. For the time being, to customize this file,
463 see docs/proposed/psa-driver-wrappers-codegen-migration-guide.md
464 * Return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT if the algorithm passed to one-shot
465 AEAD functions is not an AEAD algorithm. This aligns them with the
466 multipart functions, and the PSA Crypto API 1.1 specification.
467 * In mbedtls_pk_parse_key(), if no password is provided, don't allocate a
468 temporary variable on the heap. Suggested by Sergey Kanatov in #5304.
469 * Assume source files are in UTF-8 when using MSVC with CMake.
470 * Fix runtime library install location when building with CMake and MinGW.
471 DLLs are now installed in the bin directory instead of lib.
472 * cmake: Use GnuInstallDirs to customize install directories
473 Replace custom LIB_INSTALL_DIR variable with standard CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR
474 variable. For backward compatibility, set CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR if
475 LIB_INSTALL_DIR is set.
476 * Add a CMake option that enables static linking of the runtime library
477 in Microsoft Visual C++ compiler. Contributed by Microplankton.
478 * In CMake builds, add aliases for libraries so that the normal MbedTLS::*
479 targets work when MbedTLS is built as a subdirectory. This allows the
480 use of FetchContent, as requested in #5688.

Ronald Cron831cf482021-12-15 09:02:38 +0100483
484API changes
485 * New error code for GCM: MBEDTLS_ERR_GCM_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL.
486 Alternative GCM implementations are expected to verify
487 the length of the provided output buffers and to return the
488 MBEDTLS_ERR_GCM_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL in case the buffer length is too small.
489 * You can configure groups for a TLS key exchange with the new function
490 mbedtls_ssl_conf_groups(). It extends mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves().
491 * Declare a number of structure fields as public: the fields of
492 mbedtls_ecp_curve_info, the fields describing the result of ASN.1 and
493 X.509 parsing, and finally the field fd of mbedtls_net_context on
494 POSIX/Unix-like platforms.
495
496Requirement changes
497 * Sign-magnitude and one's complement representations for signed integers are
498 not supported. Two's complement is the only supported representation.
499
500New deprecations
501 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves() in favor of the more generic
502 mbedtls_ssl_conf_groups().
503
504Removals
505 * Remove the partial support for running unit tests via Greentea on Mbed OS,
506 which had been unmaintained since 2018.
507
508Features
509 * Enable support for Curve448 via the PSA API. Contributed by
510 Archana Madhavan in #4626. Fixes #3399 and #4249.
511 * The identifier of the CID TLS extension can be configured by defining
512 MBEDTLS_TLS_EXT_CID at compile time.
513 * Implement the PSA multipart AEAD interface, currently supporting
514 ChaChaPoly and GCM.
515 * Warn if errors from certain functions are ignored. This is currently
516 supported on GCC-like compilers and on MSVC and can be configured through
517 the macro MBEDTLS_CHECK_RETURN. The warnings are always enabled
518 (where supported) for critical functions where ignoring the return
519 value is almost always a bug. Enable the new configuration option
520 MBEDTLS_CHECK_RETURN_WARNING to get warnings for other functions. This
521 is currently implemented in the AES, DES and md modules, and will be
522 extended to other modules in the future.
523 * Add missing PSA macros declared by PSA Crypto API 1.0.0:
524 PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH, PSA_ALG_NONE, PSA_HASH_BLOCK_LENGTH, PSA_KEY_ID_NULL.
525 * Add support for CCM*-no-tag cipher to the PSA.
526 Currently only 13-byte long IV's are supported.
527 For decryption a minimum of 16-byte long input is expected.
528 These restrictions may be subject to change.
Ronald Cron1ffa6a52021-12-14 15:57:17 +0100529 * Add new API mbedtls_ct_memcmp for constant time buffer comparison.
Ronald Cron831cf482021-12-15 09:02:38 +0100530 * Add functions to get the IV and block size from cipher_info structs.
531 * Add functions to check if a cipher supports variable IV or key size.
532 * Add the internal implementation of and support for CCM to the PSA multipart
533 AEAD interface.
534 * Mbed TLS provides a minimum viable implementation of the TLS 1.3
535 protocol. See docs/architecture/tls13-support.md for the definition of
536 the TLS 1.3 Minimum Viable Product (MVP). The MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3
537 configuration option controls the enablement of the support. The APIs
538 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version() and mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version() allow
539 to select the 1.3 version of the protocol to establish a TLS connection.
540 * Add PSA API definition for ARIA.
541
542Security
543 * Zeroize several intermediate variables used to calculate the expected
544 value when verifying a MAC or AEAD tag. This hardens the library in
545 case the value leaks through a memory disclosure vulnerability. For
546 example, a memory disclosure vulnerability could have allowed a
547 man-in-the-middle to inject fake ciphertext into a DTLS connection.
548 * In psa_aead_generate_nonce(), do not read back from the output buffer.
549 This fixes a potential policy bypass or decryption oracle vulnerability
550 if the output buffer is in memory that is shared with an untrusted
551 application.
552 * In psa_cipher_generate_iv() and psa_cipher_encrypt(), do not read back
553 from the output buffer. This fixes a potential policy bypass or decryption
554 oracle vulnerability if the output buffer is in memory that is shared with
555 an untrusted application.
556 * Fix a double-free that happened after mbedtls_ssl_set_session() or
557 mbedtls_ssl_get_session() failed with MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_ALLOC_FAILED
558 (out of memory). After that, calling mbedtls_ssl_session_free()
559 and mbedtls_ssl_free() would cause an internal session buffer to
560 be free()'d twice.
561
562Bugfix
563 * Stop using reserved identifiers as local variables. Fixes #4630.
564 * The GNU makefiles invoke python3 in preference to python except on Windows.
565 The check was accidentally not performed when cross-compiling for Windows
566 on Linux. Fix this. Fixes #4774.
567 * Prevent divide by zero if either of PSA_CIPHER_ENCRYPT_OUTPUT_SIZE() or
568 PSA_CIPHER_UPDATE_OUTPUT_SIZE() were called using an asymmetric key type.
569 * Fix a parameter set but unused in psa_crypto_cipher.c. Fixes #4935.
570 * Don't use the obsolete header path sys/fcntl.h in unit tests.
571 These header files cause compilation errors in musl.
572 Fixes #4969.
573 * Fix missing constraints on x86_64 and aarch64 assembly code
574 for bignum multiplication that broke some bignum operations with
575 (at least) Clang 12.
576 Fixes #4116, #4786, #4917, #4962.
577 * Fix mbedtls_cipher_crypt: AES-ECB when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
578 * Failures of alternative implementations of AES or DES single-block
579 functions enabled with MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT_ALT, MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT_ALT,
580 MBEDTLS_DES_CRYPT_ECB_ALT or MBEDTLS_DES3_CRYPT_ECB_ALT were ignored.
581 This does not concern the implementation provided with Mbed TLS,
582 where this function cannot fail, or full-module replacements with
583 MBEDTLS_AES_ALT or MBEDTLS_DES_ALT. Reported by Armelle Duboc in #1092.
584 * Some failures of HMAC operations were ignored. These failures could only
585 happen with an alternative implementation of the underlying hash module.
586 * Fix the error returned by psa_generate_key() for a public key. Fixes #4551.
587 * Fix compile-time or run-time errors in PSA
588 AEAD functions when ChachaPoly is disabled. Fixes #5065.
589 * Remove PSA'a AEAD finish/verify output buffer limitation for GCM.
590 The requirement of minimum 15 bytes for output buffer in
591 psa_aead_finish() and psa_aead_verify() does not apply to the built-in
592 implementation of GCM.
593 * Move GCM's update output buffer length verification from PSA AEAD to
594 the built-in implementation of the GCM.
595 The requirement for output buffer size to be equal or greater then
596 input buffer size is valid only for the built-in implementation of GCM.
597 Alternative GCM implementations can process whole blocks only.
598 * Fix the build of sample programs when neither MBEDTLS_ERROR_C nor
599 MBEDTLS_ERROR_STRERROR_DUMMY is enabled.
600 * Fix PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS verification accepting an arbitrary salt length.
601 This algorithm now accepts only the same salt length for verification
602 that it produces when signing, as documented. Use the new algorithm
603 PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS_ANY_SALT to accept any salt length. Fixes #4946.
604 * The existing predicate macro name PSA_ALG_IS_HASH_AND_SIGN is now reserved
605 for algorithm values that fully encode the hashing step, as per the PSA
606 Crypto API specification. This excludes PSA_ALG_RSA_PKCS1V15_SIGN_RAW and
607 PSA_ALG_ECDSA_ANY. The new predicate macro PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH covers
608 all algorithms that can be used with psa_{sign,verify}_hash(), including
609 these two.
610 * Fix issue in Makefile on Linux with SHARED=1, that caused shared libraries
611 not to list other shared libraries they need.
Ronald Cron1ffa6a52021-12-14 15:57:17 +0100612 * Fix a bug in mbedtls_gcm_starts() when the bit length of the iv
613 exceeds 2^32. Fixes #4884.
Ronald Cron831cf482021-12-15 09:02:38 +0100614 * Fix an uninitialized variable warning in test_suite_ssl.function with GCC
615 version 11.
616 * Fix the build when no SHA2 module is included. Fixes #4930.
617 * Fix the build when only the bignum module is included. Fixes #4929.
618 * Fix a potential invalid pointer dereference and infinite loop bugs in
619 pkcs12 functions when the password is empty. Fix the documentation to
620 better describe the inputs to these functions and their possible values.
621 Fixes #5136.
622 * The key usage flags PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_MESSAGE now allows the MAC
623 operations psa_mac_compute() and psa_mac_sign_setup().
624 * The key usage flags PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_MESSAGE now allows the MAC
625 operations psa_mac_verify() and psa_mac_verify_setup().
626
627Changes
628 * Explicitly mark the fields mbedtls_ssl_session.exported and
629 mbedtls_ssl_config.respect_cli_pref as private. This was an
630 oversight during the run-up to the release of Mbed TLS 3.0.
631 The fields were never intended to be public.
632 * Implement multi-part CCM API.
633 The multi-part functions: mbedtls_ccm_starts(), mbedtls_ccm_set_lengths(),
634 mbedtls_ccm_update_ad(), mbedtls_ccm_update(), mbedtls_ccm_finish()
635 were introduced in mbedTLS 3.0 release, however their implementation was
636 postponed until now.
637 Implemented functions support chunked data input for both CCM and CCM*
638 algorithms.
639 * Remove MBEDTLS_SSL_EXPORT_KEYS, making it always on and increasing the
640 code size by about 80B on an M0 build. This option only gated an ability
641 to set a callback, but was deemed unnecessary as it was yet another define
642 to remember when writing tests, or test configurations. Fixes #4653.
643 * Improve the performance of base64 constant-flow code. The result is still
644 slower than the original non-constant-flow implementation, but much faster
645 than the previous constant-flow implementation. Fixes #4814.
646 * Ignore plaintext/ciphertext lengths for CCM*-no-tag operations.
647 For CCM* encryption/decryption without authentication, input
648 length will be ignored.
649 * Indicate in the error returned if the nonce length used with
650 ChaCha20-Poly1305 is invalid, and not just unsupported.
Ronald Cron1ffa6a52021-12-14 15:57:17 +0100651 * The mbedcrypto library includes a new source code module constant_time.c,
652 containing various functions meant to resist timing side channel attacks.
653 This module does not have a separate configuration option, and functions
654 from this module will be included in the build as required. Currently
655 most of the interface of this module is private and may change at any
656 time.
657 * The generated configuration-independent files are now automatically
658 generated by the CMake build system on Unix-like systems. This is not
659 yet supported when cross-compiling.

663API changes
664 * Remove HAVEGE module.
665 The design of HAVEGE makes it unsuitable for microcontrollers. Platforms
666 with a more complex CPU usually have an operating system interface that
667 provides better randomness. Instead of HAVEGE, declare OS or hardware RNG
668 interfaces with mbedtls_entropy_add_source() and/or use an entropy seed
669 file created securely during device provisioning. See
Dave Rodgmanb3196842022-10-12 16:47:08 +0100670 https://mbed-tls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kb/how-to/add-entropy-sources-to-entropy-pool/ for
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +0100671 more information.
672 * Add missing const attributes to API functions.
673 * Remove helpers for the transition from Mbed TLS 1.3 to Mbed TLS 2.0: the
674 header compat-1.3.h and the script rename.pl.
675 * Remove certs module from the API.
676 Transfer keys and certificates embedded in the library to the test
677 component. This contributes to minimizing library API and discourages
678 users from using unsafe keys in production.
679 * Move alt helpers and definitions.
680 Various helpers and definitions available for use in alt implementations
681 have been moved out of the include/ directory and into the library/
682 directory. The files concerned are ecp_internal.h and rsa_internal.h
Gilles Peskine6a2fb612021-05-24 22:25:04 +0200683 which have also been renamed to ecp_internal_alt.h and rsa_alt_helpers.h
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +0100684 respectively.
685 * Move internal headers.
686 Header files that were only meant for the library's internal use and
687 were not meant to be used in application code have been moved out of
688 the include/ directory. The headers concerned are bn_mul.h, aesni.h,
689 padlock.h, entropy_poll.h and *_internal.h.
690 * Drop support for parsing SSLv2 ClientHello
691 (MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_SUPPORT_SSLV2_CLIENT_HELLO).
692 * Drop support for SSLv3 (MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_SSL3).
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +0100693 * Drop support for TLS record-level compression (MBEDTLS_ZLIB_SUPPORT).
694 * Drop support for RC4 TLS ciphersuites.
695 * Drop support for single-DES ciphersuites.
696 * Drop support for MBEDTLS_SSL_HW_RECORD_ACCEL.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +0100697 * Update AEAD output size macros to bring them in line with the PSA Crypto
698 API version 1.0 spec. This version of the spec parameterizes them on the
699 key type used, as well as the key bit-size in the case of
700 PSA_AEAD_TAG_LENGTH.
701 * Add configuration option MBEDTLS_X509_REMOVE_INFO which
702 removes the mbedtls_x509_*_info(), mbedtls_debug_print_crt()
703 as well as other functions and constants only used by
704 those functions. This reduces the code footprint by
705 several kB.
706 * Remove SSL error codes `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CERTIFICATE_REQUIRED`
707 and `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_INVALID_VERIFY_HASH` which are never
708 returned from the public SSL API.
709 * Remove `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CERTIFICATE_TOO_LARGE` and return
710 `MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL` instead.
Dave Rodgman814b0992021-07-02 12:11:14 +0100711 * The output parameter of mbedtls_sha512_finish, mbedtls_sha512,
712 mbedtls_sha256_finish and mbedtls_sha256 now has a pointer type
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +0100713 rather than array type. This removes spurious warnings in some compilers
714 when outputting a SHA-384 or SHA-224 hash into a buffer of exactly
715 the hash size.
716 * Remove the MBEDTLS_TEST_NULL_ENTROPY config option. Fixes #4388.
717 * The interface of the GCM module has changed to remove restrictions on
718 how the input to multipart operations is broken down. mbedtls_gcm_finish()
Dave Rodgmaneaef0b72021-07-01 16:59:13 +0100719 now takes extra output parameters for the last partial output block.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +0100720 mbedtls_gcm_update() now takes extra parameters for the output length.
721 The software implementation always produces the full output at each
722 call to mbedtls_gcm_update(), but alternative implementations activated
723 by MBEDTLS_GCM_ALT may delay partial blocks to the next call to
724 mbedtls_gcm_update() or mbedtls_gcm_finish(). Furthermore, applications
725 no longer pass the associated data to mbedtls_gcm_starts(), but to the
726 new function mbedtls_gcm_update_ad().
727 These changes are backward compatible for users of the cipher API.
728 * Replace MBEDTLS_SHA512_NO_SHA384 config option with MBEDTLS_SHA384_C.
729 This separates config option enabling the SHA384 algorithm from option
730 enabling the SHA512 algorithm. Fixes #4034.
731 * Introduce MBEDTLS_SHA224_C.
732 This separates config option enabling the SHA224 algorithm from option
733 enabling SHA256.
Dave Rodgman745e3582021-07-05 18:53:31 +0100734 * The getter and setter API of the SSL session cache (used for
735 session-ID based session resumption) has changed to that of
736 a key-value store with keys being session IDs and values
737 being opaque instances of `mbedtls_ssl_session`.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +0100738 * Remove the mode parameter from RSA operation functions. Signature and
739 decryption functions now always use the private key and verification and
740 encryption use the public key. Verification functions also no longer have
741 RNG parameters.
Dave Rodgman745e3582021-07-05 18:53:31 +0100742 * Modify semantics of `mbedtls_ssl_conf_[opaque_]psk()`:
743 In Mbed TLS 2.X, the API prescribes that later calls overwrite
744 the effect of earlier calls. In Mbed TLS 3.0, calling
745 `mbedtls_ssl_conf_[opaque_]psk()` more than once will fail,
746 leaving the PSK that was configured first intact.
747 Support for more than one PSK may be added in 3.X.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +0100748 * The function mbedtls_x509write_csr_set_extension() has an extra parameter
749 which allows to mark an extension as critical. Fixes #4055.
750 * For multi-part AEAD operations with the cipher module, calling
751 mbedtls_cipher_finish() is now mandatory. Previously the documentation
752 was unclear on this point, and this function happened to never do
753 anything with the currently implemented AEADs, so in practice it was
754 possible to skip calling it, which is no longer supported.
755 * The option MBEDTLS_ECP_FIXED_POINT_OPTIM use pre-computed comb tables
756 instead of computing tables in runtime. Thus, this option now increase
757 code size, and it does not increase RAM usage in runtime anymore.
758 * Remove the SSL APIs mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() and
759 mbedtls_ssl_get_output_max_frag_len(), and add a new API
760 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_in_record_payload(), complementing the existing
761 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_out_record_payload().
762 Uses of mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() and
763 mbedtls_ssl_get_input_max_frag_len() should be replaced by
764 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_in_record_payload() and
765 mbedtls_ssl_get_max_out_record_payload(), respectively.
766 * mbedtls_rsa_init() now always selects the PKCS#1v1.5 encoding for an RSA
767 key. To use an RSA key with PSS or OAEP, call mbedtls_rsa_set_padding()
768 after initializing the context. mbedtls_rsa_set_padding() now returns an
769 error if its parameters are invalid.
Dave Rodgman745e3582021-07-05 18:53:31 +0100770 * Replace MBEDTLS_SSL_SRV_RESPECT_CLIENT_PREFERENCE by a runtime
771 configuration function mbedtls_ssl_conf_preference_order(). Fixes #4398.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +0100772 * Instead of accessing the len field of a DHM context, which is no longer
773 supported, use the new function mbedtls_dhm_get_len() .
774 * In modules that implement cryptographic hash functions, many functions
775 mbedtls_xxx() now return int instead of void, and the corresponding
776 function mbedtls_xxx_ret() which was identical except for returning int
777 has been removed. This also concerns mbedtls_xxx_drbg_update(). See the
778 migration guide for more information. Fixes #4212.
779 * For all functions that take a random number generator (RNG) as a
780 parameter, this parameter is now mandatory (that is, NULL is not an
781 acceptable value). Functions which previously accepted NULL and now
782 reject it are: the X.509 CRT and CSR writing functions; the PK and RSA
783 sign and decrypt function; mbedtls_rsa_private(); the functions
784 in DHM and ECDH that compute the shared secret; the scalar multiplication
785 functions in ECP.
786 * The following functions now require an RNG parameter:
787 mbedtls_ecp_check_pub_priv(), mbedtls_pk_check_pair(),
788 mbedtls_pk_parse_key(), mbedtls_pk_parse_keyfile().
789 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_export_keys_ext_cb() and
790 mbedtls_ssl_conf_export_keys_cb() have been removed and
791 replaced by a new API mbedtls_ssl_set_export_keys_cb().
792 Raw keys and IVs are no longer passed to the callback.
793 Further, callbacks now receive an additional parameter
794 indicating the type of secret that's being exported,
795 paving the way for the larger number of secrets
796 in TLS 1.3. Finally, the key export callback and
797 context are now connection-specific.
798 * Signature functions in the RSA and PK modules now require the hash
799 length parameter to be the size of the hash input. For RSA signatures
800 other than raw PKCS#1 v1.5, this must match the output size of the
801 specified hash algorithm.
802 * The functions mbedtls_pk_sign(), mbedtls_pk_sign_restartable(),
803 mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature() and
804 mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature_restartable() now take an extra parameter
805 indicating the size of the output buffer for the signature.
806 * Implement one-shot cipher functions, psa_cipher_encrypt and
807 psa_cipher_decrypt, according to the PSA Crypto API 1.0.0
808 specification.
809 * Direct access to fields of structures declared in public headers is no
810 longer supported except for fields that are documented public. Use accessor
811 functions instead. For more information, see the migration guide entry
812 "Most structure fields are now private".
Dave Rodgman9bd03892021-07-01 16:59:49 +0100813 * mbedtls_ssl_get_session_pointer() has been removed, and
814 mbedtls_ssl_{set,get}_session() may now only be called once for any given
815 SSL context.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +0100816
817Default behavior changes
818 * Enable by default the functionalities which have no reason to be disabled.
819 They are: ARIA block cipher, CMAC mode, elliptic curve J-PAKE library and
820 Key Wrapping mode as defined in NIST SP 800-38F. Fixes #4036.
821 * Some default policies for X.509 certificate verification and TLS have
822 changed: curves and hashes weaker than 255 bits are no longer accepted
823 by default. The default order in TLS now favors faster curves over larger
824 curves.
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +0100825
826Requirement changes
827 * The library now uses the %zu format specifier with the printf() family of
828 functions, so requires a toolchain that supports it. This change does not
829 affect the maintained LTS branches, so when contributing changes please
830 bear this in mind and do not add them to backported code.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +0100831 * If you build the development version of Mbed TLS, rather than an official
832 release, some configuration-independent files are now generated at build
833 time rather than checked into source control. This includes some library
834 source files as well as the Visual Studio solution. Perl, Python 3 and a
835 C compiler for the host platform are required. See “Generated source files
836 in the development branch” in README.md for more information.
837 * Refresh the minimum supported versions of tools to build the
838 library. CMake versions older than 3.10.2 and Python older
839 than 3.6 are no longer supported.
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +0100840
841Removals
842 * Remove the MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_CERTIFICATES
843 compile-time option, which was off by default. Users should not trust
844 certificates signed with SHA-1 due to the known attacks against SHA-1.
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard143b1e32021-05-05 09:46:01 +0200845 If needed, SHA-1 certificates can still be verified by using a custom
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnarde7563062021-04-26 10:08:29 +0200846 verification profile.
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +0100847 * Removed deprecated things in psa/crypto_compat.h. Fixes #4284
848 * Removed deprecated functions from hashing modules. Fixes #4280.
849 * Remove PKCS#11 library wrapper. PKCS#11 has limited functionality,
850 lacks automated tests and has scarce documentation. Also, PSA Crypto
851 provides a more flexible private key management.
852 More details on PCKS#11 wrapper removal can be found in the mailing list
853 https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/pipermail/mbed-tls/2020-April/000024.html
854 * Remove deprecated error codes. Fix #4283
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +0100855 * Remove MBEDTLS_ENABLE_WEAK_CIPHERSUITES configuration option. Fixes #4416.
856 * Remove the MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_CERTIFICATES
857 compile-time option. This option has been inactive for a long time.
858 Please use the `lifetime` parameter of `mbedtls_ssl_ticket_setup()`
859 instead.
860 * Remove the following deprecated functions and constants of hex-encoded
861 primes based on RFC 5114 and RFC 3526 from library code and tests:
862 mbedtls_aes_encrypt(), mbedtls_aes_decrypt(), mbedtls_mpi_is_prime(),
863 mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt(), mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt(),
864 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update(), mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update(),
865 mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature_det(), mbedtls_ecdsa_sign_det(),
866 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param(), mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len(),
867 MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC5114_MODP_2048_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC5114_MODP_2048_G,
868 MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_G,
869 MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_3072_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_3072_G,
870 MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_4096_P, MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_4096_G.
871 Remove the deprecated file: include/mbedtls/net.h. Fixes #4282.
872 * Remove MBEDTLS_SSL_MAX_CONTENT_LEN configuration option, since
873 MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN and MBEDTLS_SSL_OUT_CONTENT_LEN replace
874 it. Fixes #4362.
875 * Remove the MBEDTLS_SSL_RECORD_CHECKING option and enable by default its
876 previous action. Fixes #4361.
877 * Remove support for TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 and DTLS 1.0, as well as support for
878 CBC record splitting, fallback SCSV, and the ability to configure
879 ciphersuites per version, which are no longer relevant. This removes the
880 configuration options MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1,
881 MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_1, MBEDTLS_SSL_CBC_RECORD_SPLITTING and
882 MBEDTLS_SSL_FALLBACK_SCSV as well as the functions
883 mbedtls_ssl_conf_cbc_record_splitting(),
884 mbedtls_ssl_get_key_exchange_md_ssl_tls(), mbedtls_ssl_conf_fallback(),
885 and mbedtls_ssl_conf_ciphersuites_for_version(). Fixes #4286.
886 * The RSA module no longer supports private-key operations with the public
887 key and vice versa.
888 * Remove the MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_BADMAC_LIMIT config.h option. Fixes #4403.
889 * Remove all the 3DES ciphersuites:
890 MBEDTLS_TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
891 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
892 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
893 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDHE_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
894 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
895 MBEDTLS_TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
896 MBEDTLS_TLS_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
897 MBEDTLS_TLS_RSA_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
898 MBEDTLS_TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA. Remove the
899 MBEDTLS_REMOVE_3DES_CIPHERSUITES option which is no longer relevant.
900 Fixes #4367.
901 * Remove the MBEDTLS_X509_ALLOW_EXTENSIONS_NON_V3 option and let the code
902 behave as if it was always disabled. Fixes #4386.
903 * Remove MBEDTLS_ECDH_LEGACY_CONTEXT config option since this was purely for
904 backward compatibility which is no longer supported. Addresses #4404.
905 * Remove the following macros: MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS,
906 MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS_ASSERT, MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED,
907 MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED_ALT. Fixes #4313.
908 * Remove the MBEDTLS_X509_ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION config.h
909 option. The mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() is the way to go for
910 migration path. Fixes #4378.
Dave Rodgman745e3582021-07-05 18:53:31 +0100911 * Remove the MBEDTLS_X509_CHECK_KEY_USAGE and
912 MBEDTLS_X509_CHECK_EXTENDED_KEY_USAGE config.h options and let the code
913 behave as if they were always enabled. Fixes #4405.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +0100914 * MBEDTLS_ECP_MAX_BITS is no longer a configuration option because it is
915 now determined automatically based on supported curves.
Dave Rodgman745e3582021-07-05 18:53:31 +0100916 * Remove the following functions: mbedtls_timing_self_test(),
917 mbedtls_hardclock_poll(), mbedtls_timing_hardclock() and
918 mbedtls_set_alarm(). Fixes #4083.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +0100919 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_INTERNAL_RNG has been removed as
920 it no longer had any effect.
Dave Rodgman745e3582021-07-05 18:53:31 +0100921 * Remove all support for MD2, MD4, RC4, Blowfish and XTEA. This removes the
922 corresponding modules and all their APIs and related configuration
923 options. Fixes #4084.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +0100924 * Remove MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC and also remove
925 MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC_COMPAT config option. Users are better served by
926 using a CCM-8 ciphersuite than a CBC ciphersuite with truncated HMAC.
927 See issue #4341 for more details.
928 * Remove the compile-time option
929 MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_KEY_EXCHANGE.
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +0100930
931Features
932 * Add mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pss_sign_ext() function allowing to generate a
933 signature with a specific salt length. This function allows to validate
934 test cases provided in the NIST's CAVP test suite. Contributed by Cédric
935 Meuter in PR #3183.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +0100936 * Added support for built-in driver keys through the PSA opaque crypto
937 driver interface. Refer to the documentation of
938 MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_BUILTIN_KEYS for more information.
939 * Implement psa_sign_message() and psa_verify_message().
940 * The multi-part GCM interface (mbedtls_gcm_update() or
941 mbedtls_cipher_update()) no longer requires the size of partial inputs to
942 be a multiple of 16.
943 * The multi-part GCM interface now supports chunked associated data through
944 multiple calls to mbedtls_gcm_update_ad().
945 * The new function mbedtls_mpi_random() generates a random value in a
946 given range uniformly.
947 * Alternative implementations of the AES, DHM, ECJPAKE, ECP, RSA and timing
948 modules had undocumented constraints on their context types. These
949 constraints have been relaxed.
950 See docs/architecture/alternative-implementations.md for the remaining
951 constraints.
952 * The new functions mbedtls_dhm_get_len() and mbedtls_dhm_get_bitlen()
953 query the size of the modulus in a Diffie-Hellman context.
954 * The new function mbedtls_dhm_get_value() copy a field out of a
955 Diffie-Hellman context.
956 * Use the new function mbedtls_ecjpake_set_point_format() to select the
957 point format for ECJPAKE instead of accessing the point_format field
958 directly, which is no longer supported.
959 * Implement psa_mac_compute() and psa_mac_verify() as defined in the
960 PSA Cryptograpy API 1.0.0 specification.
961
962Security
Dave Rodgman5b13f602021-07-05 18:09:16 +0100963 * Fix a bias in the generation of finite-field Diffie-Hellman-Merkle (DHM)
964 private keys and of blinding values for DHM and elliptic curves (ECP)
965 computations. Reported by FlorianF89 in #4245.
966 * Fix a potential side channel vulnerability in ECDSA ephemeral key generation.
967 An adversary who is capable of very precise timing measurements could
968 learn partial information about the leading bits of the nonce used for the
969 signature, allowing the recovery of the private key after observing a
970 large number of signature operations. This completes a partial fix in
971 Mbed TLS 2.20.0.
Tom Cosgroveb3c6a1e2023-03-08 15:47:00 +0000972 * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough information
973 about memory accesses (typically, an untrusted operating system attacking
974 a secure enclave) could recover an RSA private key after observing the
975 victim performing a single private-key operation. Found and reported by
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +0100976 Zili KOU, Wenjian HE, Sharad Sinha, and Wei ZHANG.
Tom Cosgroveb3c6a1e2023-03-08 15:47:00 +0000977 * Fix an issue where an adversary with access to precise enough timing
978 information (typically, a co-located process) could recover a Curve25519
979 or Curve448 static ECDH key after inputting a chosen public key and
980 observing the victim performing the corresponding private-key operation.
981 Found and reported by Leila Batina, Lukas Chmielewski, Björn Haase, Niels
982 Samwel and Peter Schwabe.
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +0100983
984Bugfix
985 * Fix premature fopen() call in mbedtls_entropy_write_seed_file which may
986 lead to the seed file corruption in case if the path to the seed file is
987 equal to MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_STD_NV_SEED_FILE. Contributed by Victor
988 Krasnoshchok in #3616.
989 * PSA functions creating a key now return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT rather
990 than PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE when the identifier specified for the key
991 to create is not valid, bringing them in line with version 1.0.0 of the
992 specification. Fix #4271.
993 * Add printf function attributes to mbedtls_debug_print_msg to ensure we
994 get printf format specifier warnings.
995 * PSA functions other than psa_open_key now return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE
996 rather than PSA_ERROR_DOES_NOT_EXIST for an invalid handle, bringing them
997 in line with version 1.0.0 of the specification. Fix #4162.
998 * Fix a bug in ECDSA that would cause it to fail when the hash is all-bits
999 zero. Fixes #1792
Gilles Peskinef4998b02021-06-10 15:51:54 +02001000 * Fix some cases in the bignum module where the library constructed an
1001 unintended representation of the value 0 which was not processed
1002 correctly by some bignum operations. This could happen when
1003 mbedtls_mpi_read_string() was called on "-0", or when
1004 mbedtls_mpi_mul_mpi() and mbedtls_mpi_mul_int() was called with one of
1005 the arguments being negative and the other being 0. Fixes #4643.
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001006 * Fix a compilation error when MBEDTLS_ECP_RANDOMIZE_MXZ_ALT is
1007 defined. Fixes #4217.
1008 * Fix an incorrect error code when parsing a PKCS#8 private key.
1009 * In a TLS client, enforce the Diffie-Hellman minimum parameter size
1010 set with mbedtls_ssl_conf_dhm_min_bitlen() precisely. Before, the
1011 minimum size was rounded down to the nearest multiple of 8.
1012 * In library/net_sockets.c, _POSIX_C_SOURCE and _XOPEN_SOURCE are
1013 defined to specific values. If the code is used in a context
1014 where these are already defined, this can result in a compilation
1015 error. Instead, assume that if they are defined, the values will
1016 be adequate to build Mbed TLS.
1017 * With MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C disabled, some functions were getting built
1018 nonetheless, resulting in undefined reference errors when building a
1019 shared library. Reported by Guillermo Garcia M. in #4411.
1020 * The cipher suite TLS-RSA-WITH-CAMELLIA-256-GCM-SHA384 was not available
1021 when SHA-1 was disabled and was offered when SHA-1 was enabled but SHA-384
1022 was disabled. Fix the dependency. Fixes #4472.
1023 * Do not offer SHA384 cipher suites when SHA-384 is disabled. Fixes #4499.
1024 * Fix test suite code on platforms where int32_t is not int, such as
1025 Arm Cortex-M. Fixes #4530.
1026 * Fix some issues affecting MBEDTLS_ARIA_ALT implementations: a misplaced
1027 directive in a header and a missing initialization in the self-test.
1028 * Fix a missing initialization in the Camellia self-test, affecting
1029 MBEDTLS_CAMELLIA_ALT implementations.
1030 * Restore the ability to configure PSA via Mbed TLS options to support RSA
1031 key pair operations but exclude RSA key generation. When MBEDTLS_GENPRIME
1032 is not defined PSA will no longer attempt to use mbedtls_rsa_gen_key().
1033 Fixes #4512.
1034 * Fix a regression introduced in 2.24.0 which broke (D)TLS CBC ciphersuites
1035 (when the encrypt-then-MAC extension is not in use) with some ALT
1036 implementations of the underlying hash (SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384), causing
1037 the affected side to wrongly reject valid messages. Fixes #4118.
1038 * Remove outdated check-config.h check that prevented implementing the
1039 timing module on Mbed OS. Fixes #4633.
1040 * Fix PSA_ALG_TLS12_PRF and PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS being too permissive
1041 about missing inputs.
1042 * Fix mbedtls_net_poll() and mbedtls_net_recv_timeout() often failing with
1043 MBEDTLS_ERR_NET_POLL_FAILED on Windows. Fixes #4465.
1044 * Fix a resource leak in a test suite with an alternative AES
1045 implementation. Fixes #4176.
1046 * Fix a crash in mbedtls_mpi_debug_mpi on a bignum having 0 limbs. This
1047 could notably be triggered by setting the TLS debug level to 3 or above
1048 and using a Montgomery curve for the key exchange. Reported by lhuang04
1049 in #4578. Fixes #4608.
1050 * psa_verify_hash() was relying on implementation-specific behavior of
1051 mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pss_verify() and was causing failures in some _ALT
1052 implementations. This reliance is now removed. Fixes #3990.
1053 * Disallow inputs of length different from the corresponding hash when
1054 signing or verifying with PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS (The PSA Crypto API mandates
1055 that PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS uses the same hash throughout the algorithm.)
1056 * Fix a null pointer dereference when mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod() was called with
1057 A=0 represented with 0 limbs. Up to and including Mbed TLS 2.26, this bug
1058 could not be triggered by code that constructed A with one of the
1059 mbedtls_mpi_read_xxx functions (including in particular TLS code) since
1060 those always built an mpi object with at least one limb.
1061 Credit to OSS-Fuzz. Fixes #4641.
1062 * Fix mbedtls_mpi_gcd(G,A,B) when the value of B is zero. This had no
1063 effect on Mbed TLS's internal use of mbedtls_mpi_gcd(), but may affect
1064 applications that call mbedtls_mpi_gcd() directly. Fixes #4642.
1065 * The PSA API no longer allows the creation or destruction of keys with a
1066 read-only lifetime. The persistence level PSA_KEY_PERSISTENCE_READ_ONLY
1067 can now only be used as intended, for keys that cannot be modified through
1068 normal use of the API.
1069 * When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SPM is enabled, crypto_spe.h was not included
1070 in all the right places. Include it from crypto_platform.h, which is
1071 the natural place. Fixes #4649.
1072 * Fix which alert is sent in some cases to conform to the
1073 applicable RFC: on an invalid Finished message value, an
1074 invalid max_fragment_length extension, or an
1075 unsupported extension used by the server.
Dave Rodgmana84a8eb2021-07-01 17:01:04 +01001076 * Correct (change from 12 to 13 bytes) the value of the macro describing the
1077 maximum nonce length returned by psa_aead_generate_nonce().
Dave Rodgman10ba5532021-04-26 14:58:26 +01001078
1079Changes
1080 * Fix the setting of the read timeout in the DTLS sample programs.
1081 * Add extra printf compiler warning flags to builds.
1082 * Fix memsan build false positive in x509_crt.c with clang 11
Dave Rodgmanbb2eece2021-06-30 18:07:19 +01001083 * Alternative implementations of CMAC may now opt to not support 3DES as a
1084 CMAC block cipher, and still pass the CMAC self test.
1085 * Remove the AES sample application programs/aes/aescrypt2 which shows
1086 bad cryptographic practice. Fix #1906.
1087 * Remove configs/config-psa-crypto.h, which no longer had any intended
1088 differences from the default configuration, but had accidentally diverged.
1089 * When building the test suites with GNU make, invoke python3 or python, not
1090 python2, which is no longer supported upstream.
1091 * fix build failure on MinGW toolchain when __USE_MING_ANSI_STDIO is on.
1092 When that flag is on, standard GNU C printf format specifiers
1093 should be used.
1094 * Replace MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_PADDING_GRANULARITY and
1095 MBEDTLS_SSL_TLS1_3_PADDING_GRANULARITY with a new single unified option
1096 MBEDTLS_SSL_CID_TLS1_3_PADDING_GRANULARITY. Fixes #4335.
1097 * Reduce the default value of MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE. This reduces RAM usage
1098 during ECC operations at a negligible performance cost.
1099 * mbedtls_mpi_read_binary(), mbedtls_mpi_read_binary_le() and
1100 mbedtls_mpi_read_string() now construct an mbedtls_mpi object with 0 limbs
1101 when their input has length 0. Note that this is an implementation detail
1102 and can change at any time, so this change should be transparent, but it
1103 may result in mbedtls_mpi_write_binary() or mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
1104 now writing an empty string where it previously wrote one or more
1105 zero digits when operating from values constructed with an mpi_read
1106 function and some mpi operations.
1107 * Add CMake package config generation for CMake projects consuming Mbed TLS.
1108 * config.h has been split into build_info.h and mbedtls_config.h
1109 build_info.h is intended to be included from C code directly, while
1110 mbedtls_config.h is intended to be edited by end users wishing to
1111 change the build configuration, and should generally only be included from
1112 build_info.h.
1113 * The handling of MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE has been moved into build_info.h.
1114 * A config file version symbol, MBEDTLS_CONFIG_VERSION was introduced.
1115 Defining it to a particular value will ensure that Mbed TLS interprets
1116 the config file in a way that's compatible with the config file format
1117 used by the Mbed TLS release whose MBEDTLS_VERSION_NUMBER has the same
1118 value.
1119 The only value supported by Mbed TLS 3.0.0 is 0x03000000.
1120 * Various changes to which alert and/or error code may be returned
1121 * during the TLS handshake.
1122 * Implicitly add PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_MESSAGE key usage policy flag when
1123 PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_HASH flag is set and PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_MESSAGE flag
1124 when PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_HASH flag is set. This usage flag extension
1125 is also applied when loading a key from storage.

1128
1129API changes
1130 * Renamed the PSA Crypto API output buffer size macros to bring them in line
1131 with version 1.0.0 of the specification.
1132 * The API glue function mbedtls_ecc_group_of_psa() now takes the curve size
1133 in bits rather than bytes, with an additional flag to indicate if the
1134 size may have been rounded up to a whole number of bytes.
1135 * Renamed the PSA Crypto API AEAD tag length macros to bring them in line
1136 with version 1.0.0 of the specification.
1137
1138Default behavior changes
1139 * In mbedtls_rsa_context objects, the ver field was formerly documented
1140 as always 0. It is now reserved for internal purposes and may take
1141 different values.
1142
1143New deprecations
1144 * PSA_KEY_EXPORT_MAX_SIZE, PSA_HASH_SIZE, PSA_MAC_FINAL_SIZE,
1145 PSA_BLOCK_CIPHER_BLOCK_SIZE, PSA_MAX_BLOCK_CIPHER_BLOCK_SIZE and
1146 PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS_MAX_PSK_LEN have been renamed, and the old names
1147 deprecated.
1148 * PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_DEFAULT_TAG_LENGTH and PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_TAG_LENGTH
1149 have been renamed, and the old names deprecated.
1150
1151Features
1152 * The PSA crypto subsystem can now use HMAC_DRBG instead of CTR_DRBG.
1153 CTR_DRBG is used by default if it is available, but you can override
1154 this choice by setting MBEDTLS_PSA_HMAC_DRBG_MD_TYPE at compile time.
1155 Fix #3354.
1156 * Automatic fallback to a software implementation of ECP when
1157 MBEDTLS_ECP_xxx_ALT accelerator hooks are in use can now be turned off
1158 through setting the new configuration flag MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_FALLBACK.
1159 * The PSA crypto subsystem can now be configured to use less static RAM by
1160 tweaking the setting for the maximum amount of keys simultaneously in RAM.
1161 MBEDTLS_PSA_KEY_SLOT_COUNT sets the maximum number of volatile keys that
1162 can exist simultaneously. It has a sensible default if not overridden.
1163 * Partial implementation of the PSA crypto driver interface: Mbed TLS can
1164 now use an external random generator instead of the library's own
1165 entropy collection and DRBG code. Enable MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG
1166 and see the documentation of mbedtls_psa_external_get_random() for details.
1167 * Applications using both mbedtls_xxx and psa_xxx functions (for example,
1168 applications using TLS and MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO) can now use the PSA
1169 random generator with mbedtls_xxx functions. See the documentation of
1170 mbedtls_psa_get_random() for details.
1171 * In the PSA API, the policy for a MAC or AEAD algorithm can specify a
1172 minimum MAC or tag length thanks to the new wildcards
1173 PSA_ALG_AT_LEAST_THIS_LENGTH_MAC and
1174 PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_AT_LEAST_THIS_LENGTH_TAG.
1175
1176Security
1177 * Fix a security reduction in CTR_DRBG when the initial seeding obtained a
1178 nonce from entropy. Applications were affected if they called
1179 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len(), if they called
1180 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_entropy_len() with a size that was 3/2 times the key
1181 length, or when the entropy module uses SHA-256 and CTR_DRBG uses AES-256.
1182 In such cases, a random nonce was necessary to achieve the advertised
1183 security strength, but the code incorrectly used a constant instead of
1184 entropy from the nonce.
1185 Found by John Stroebel in #3819 and fixed in #3973.
1186 * Fix a buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() when calculating
1187 |A| - |B| where |B| is larger than |A| and has more limbs (so the
1188 function should return MBEDTLS_ERR_MPI_NEGATIVE_VALUE). Only
1189 applications calling mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() directly are affected:
1190 all calls inside the library were safe since this function is
1191 only called with |A| >= |B|. Reported by Guido Vranken in #4042.
1192 * Fix an errorneous estimation for an internal buffer in
1193 mbedtls_pk_write_key_pem(). If MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE is set to an odd
1194 value the function might fail to write a private RSA keys of the largest
1195 supported size.
1196 Found by Daniel Otte, reported in #4093 and fixed in #4094.
1197 * Fix a stack buffer overflow with mbedtls_net_poll() and
1198 mbedtls_net_recv_timeout() when given a file descriptor that is
1199 beyond FD_SETSIZE. Reported by FigBug in #4169.
1200 * Guard against strong local side channel attack against base64 tables by
1201 making access aceess to them use constant flow code.
1202
1203Bugfix
1204 * Fix use-after-scope error in programs/ssl/ssl_client2.c and ssl_server2.c
1205 * Fix memory leak that occured when calling psa_close_key() on a
1206 wrapped key with MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_SE_C defined.
1207 * Fix an incorrect error code if an RSA private operation glitched.
1208 * Fix a memory leak in an error case in psa_generate_derived_key_internal().
1209 * Fix a resource leak in CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C
1210 is enabled, on platforms where initializing a mutex allocates resources.
1211 This was a regression introduced in the previous release. Reported in
1212 #4017, #4045 and #4071.
1213 * Ensure that calling mbedtls_rsa_free() or mbedtls_entropy_free()
1214 twice is safe. This happens for RSA when some Mbed TLS library functions
1215 fail. Such a double-free was not safe when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C was
1216 enabled on platforms where freeing a mutex twice is not safe.
1217 * Fix a resource leak in a bad-arguments case of mbedtls_rsa_gen_key()
1218 when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled on platforms where initializing
1219 a mutex allocates resources.
1220 * Fixes a bug where, if the library was configured to include support for
1221 both the old SE interface and the new PSA driver interface, external keys were
1222 not loaded from storage. This was fixed by #3996.
1223 * This change makes 'mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_basic_constraints'
1224 consistent with RFC 5280 4.2.1.9 which says: "Conforming CAs MUST
1225 include this extension in all CA certificates that contain public keys
1226 used to validate digital signatures on certificates and MUST mark the
1227 extension as critical in such certificates." Previous to this change,
1228 the extension was always marked as non-critical. This was fixed by
1229 #3698.
1230
1231Changes
1232 * A new library C file psa_crypto_client.c has been created to contain
1233 the PSA code needed by a PSA crypto client when the PSA crypto
1234 implementation is not included into the library.
1235 * On recent enough versions of FreeBSD and DragonFlyBSD, the entropy module
1236 now uses the getrandom syscall instead of reading from /dev/urandom.

1240API changes
1241 * The numerical values of the PSA Crypto API macros have been updated to
1242 conform to version 1.0.0 of the specification.
1243 * PSA_ALG_STREAM_CIPHER replaces PSA_ALG_CHACHA20 and PSA_ALG_ARC4.
1244 The underlying stream cipher is determined by the key type
1245 (PSA_KEY_TYPE_CHACHA20 or PSA_KEY_TYPE_ARC4).
1246 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
1247 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() no longer accept NIST_KW contexts,
1248 as they have no way to check if the output buffer is large enough.
1249 Please use mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt_ext() and
1250 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt_ext() instead. Credit to OSS-Fuzz and
1251 Cryptofuzz. Fixes #3665.
1252
1253Requirement changes
Janos Follathe9216262020-12-10 11:03:01 +00001254 * Update the minimum required CMake version to 2.8.12. This silences a
1255 warning on CMake 3.19.0. #3801
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +00001256
1257New deprecations
Bence Szépkútife9a4252021-02-08 18:13:02 +01001258 * PSA_ALG_CHACHA20 and PSA_ALG_ARC4 have been deprecated.
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +00001259 Use PSA_ALG_STREAM_CIPHER instead.
1260 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
1261 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() are deprecated in favour of the new
1262 functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt_ext() and
1263 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt_ext(). Please note that with AEAD ciphers,
1264 these new functions always append the tag to the ciphertext, and include
1265 the tag in the ciphertext length.
1266
1267Features
Janos Follathd6ce1162020-12-09 16:32:01 +00001268 * Partial implementation of the new PSA Crypto accelerator APIs. (Symmetric
1269 ciphers, asymmetric signing/verification and key generation, validate_key
1270 entry point, and export_public_key interface.)
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +00001271 * Add support for ECB to the PSA cipher API.
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +00001272 * In PSA, allow using a key declared with a base key agreement algorithm
1273 in combined key agreement and derivation operations, as long as the key
1274 agreement algorithm in use matches the algorithm the key was declared with.
1275 This is currently non-standard behaviour, but expected to make it into a
1276 future revision of the PSA Crypto standard.
1277 * Add MBEDTLS_TARGET_PREFIX CMake variable, which is prefixed to the mbedtls,
1278 mbedcrypto, mbedx509 and apidoc CMake target names. This can be used by
1279 external CMake projects that include this one to avoid CMake target name
1280 clashes. The default value of this variable is "", so default target names
1281 are unchanged.
1282 * Add support for DTLS-SRTP as defined in RFC 5764. Contributed by Johan
1283 Pascal, improved by Ron Eldor.
1284 * In the PSA API, it is no longer necessary to open persistent keys:
1285 operations now accept the key identifier. The type psa_key_handle_t is now
1286 identical to psa_key_id_t instead of being platform-defined. This bridges
1287 the last major gap to compliance with the PSA Cryptography specification
1288 version 1.0.0. Opening persistent keys is still supported for backward
1289 compatibility, but will be deprecated and later removed in future
1290 releases.
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +00001291 * PSA_AEAD_NONCE_LENGTH, PSA_AEAD_NONCE_MAX_SIZE, PSA_CIPHER_IV_LENGTH and
1292 PSA_CIPHER_IV_MAX_SIZE macros have been added as defined in version
1293 1.0.0 of the PSA Crypto API specification.
1294
1295Security
1296 * The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
1297 mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() would write past the minimum documented
1298 size of the output buffer when used with NIST_KW. As a result, code using
1299 those functions as documented with NIST_KW could have a buffer overwrite
1300 of up to 15 bytes, with consequences ranging up to arbitrary code
1301 execution depending on the location of the output buffer.
1302 * Limit the size of calculations performed by mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod to
1303 MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE to prevent a potential denial of service when
1304 generating Diffie-Hellman key pairs. Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
1305 * A failure of the random generator was ignored in mbedtls_mpi_fill_random(),
1306 which is how most uses of randomization in asymmetric cryptography
1307 (including key generation, intermediate value randomization and blinding)
1308 are implemented. This could cause failures or the silent use of non-random
1309 values. A random generator can fail if it needs reseeding and cannot not
1310 obtain entropy, or due to an internal failure (which, for Mbed TLS's own
1311 CTR_DRBG or HMAC_DRBG, can only happen due to a misconfiguration).
1312 * Fix a compliance issue whereby we were not checking the tag on the
1313 algorithm parameters (only the size) when comparing the signature in the
1314 description part of the cert to the real signature. This meant that a
1315 NULL algorithm parameters entry would look identical to an array of REAL
1316 (size zero) to the library and thus the certificate would be considered
1317 valid. However, if the parameters do not match in *any* way then the
1318 certificate should be considered invalid, and indeed OpenSSL marks these
1319 certs as invalid when mbedtls did not.
1320 Many thanks to guidovranken who found this issue via differential fuzzing
1321 and reported it in #3629.
1322 * Zeroising of local buffers and variables which are used for calculations
1323 in mbedtls_pkcs5_pbkdf2_hmac(), mbedtls_internal_sha*_process(),
1324 mbedtls_internal_md*_process() and mbedtls_internal_ripemd160_process()
1325 functions to erase sensitive data from memory. Reported by
1326 Johan Malmgren and Johan Uppman Bruce from Sectra.
1327
1328Bugfix
Janos Follath76027f62020-12-09 16:28:35 +00001329 * Fix an invalid (but nonzero) return code from mbedtls_pk_parse_subpubkey()
1330 when the input has trailing garbage. Fixes #2512.
Janos Follath7ac5fd12020-12-09 15:03:46 +00001331 * Fix build failure in configurations where MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is
1332 enabled but ECDSA is disabled. Contributed by jdurkop. Fixes #3294.
1333 * Include the psa_constant_names generated source code in the source tree
1334 instead of generating it at build time. Fixes #3524.
1335 * Fix rsa_prepare_blinding() to retry when the blinding value is not
1336 invertible (mod N), instead of returning MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_RNG_FAILED. This
1337 addresses a regression but is rare in practice (approx. 1 in 2/sqrt(N)).
1338 Found by Synopsys Coverity, fix contributed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin).
1339 Fixes #3647.
1340 * Use socklen_t on Android and other POSIX-compliant system
1341 * Fix the build when the macro _GNU_SOURCE is defined to a non-empty value.
1342 Fix #3432.
1343 * Consistently return PSA_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT on invalid cipher input
1344 sizes (instead of PSA_ERROR_BAD_STATE in some cases) to make the
1345 psa_cipher_* functions compliant with the PSA Crypto API specification.
1346 * mbedtls_ecp_curve_list() now lists Curve25519 and Curve448 under the names
1347 "x25519" and "x448". These curves support ECDH but not ECDSA. If you need
1348 only the curves that support ECDSA, filter the list with
1349 mbedtls_ecdsa_can_do().
1350 * Fix psa_generate_key() returning an error when asked to generate
1351 an ECC key pair on Curve25519 or secp244k1.
1352 * Fix psa_key_derivation_output_key() to allow the output of a combined key
1353 agreement and subsequent key derivation operation to be used as a key
1354 inside of the PSA Crypto core.
1355 * Fix handling of EOF against 0xff bytes and on platforms with unsigned
1356 chars. Fixes a build failure on platforms where char is unsigned. Fixes
1357 #3794.
1358 * Fix an off-by-one error in the additional data length check for
1359 CCM, which allowed encryption with a non-standard length field.
1360 Fixes #3719.
1361 * Correct the default IV size for mbedtls_cipher_info_t structures using
1362 MBEDTLS_MODE_ECB to 0, since ECB mode ciphers don't use IVs.
1363 * Make arc4random_buf available on NetBSD and OpenBSD when _POSIX_C_SOURCE is
1364 defined. Fix contributed in #3571.
1365 * Fix conditions for including string.h in error.c. Fixes #3866.
1366 * psa_set_key_id() now also sets the lifetime to persistent for keys located
1367 in a secure element.
1368 * Attempting to create a volatile key with a non-zero key identifier now
1369 fails. Previously the key identifier was just ignored when creating a
1370 volatile key.
1371 * Attempting to create or register a key with a key identifier in the vendor
1372 range now fails.
1373 * Fix build failures on GCC 11. Fixes #3782.
1374 * Add missing arguments of debug message in mbedtls_ssl_decrypt_buf.
1375 * Fix a memory leak in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() when the result was negative
1376 (an error condition) and the second operand was aliased to the result.
1377 * Fix a case in elliptic curve arithmetic where an out-of-memory condition
1378 could go undetected, resulting in an incorrect result.
1379 * In CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG, don't reset the reseed interval in seed().
1380 Fixes #2927.
1381 * In PEM writing functions, fill the trailing part of the buffer with null
1382 bytes. This guarantees that the corresponding parsing function can read
1383 the buffer back, which was the case for mbedtls_x509write_{crt,csr}_pem
1384 until this property was inadvertently broken in Mbed TLS 2.19.0.
1385 Fixes #3682.
1386 * Fix a build failure that occurred with the MBEDTLS_AES_SETKEY_DEC_ALT
1387 option on. In this configuration key management methods that are required
1388 for MBEDTLS_CIPHER_MODE_XTS were excluded from the build and made it fail.
1389 Fixes #3818. Reported by John Stroebel.
1390
1391Changes
1392 * Reduce stack usage significantly during sliding window exponentiation.
1393 Reported in #3591 and fix contributed in #3592 by Daniel Otte.
1394 * The PSA persistent storage format is updated to always store the key bits
1395 attribute. No automatic upgrade path is provided. Previously stored keys
1396 must be erased, or manually upgraded based on the key storage format
1397 specification (docs/architecture/mbed-crypto-storage-specification.md).
1398 Fixes #3740.
1399 * Remove the zeroization of a pointer variable in AES rounds. It was valid
1400 but spurious and misleading since it looked like a mistaken attempt to
1401 zeroize the pointed-to buffer. Reported by Antonio de la Piedra, CEA
1402 Leti, France.

1422 * The new function mbedtls_ecp_write_key() exports private ECC keys back to
1423 a byte buffer. It is the inverse of the existing mbedtls_ecp_read_key().
1424 * Support building on e2k (Elbrus) architecture: correctly enable
1425 -Wformat-signedness, and fix the code that causes signed-one-bit-field
1426 and sign-compare warnings. Contributed by makise-homura (Igor Molchanov)

1430 * Fix a vulnerability in the verification of X.509 certificates when
1431 matching the expected common name (the cn argument of
1432 mbedtls_x509_crt_verify()) with the actual certificate name: when the
1433 subjecAltName extension is present, the expected name was compared to any
1434 name in that extension regardless of its type. This means that an
1435 attacker could for example impersonate a 4-bytes or 16-byte domain by
1436 getting a certificate for the corresponding IPv4 or IPv6 (this would
1437 require the attacker to control that IP address, though). Similar attacks
1438 using other subjectAltName name types might be possible. Found and
1439 reported by kFYatek in #3498.
1440 * When checking X.509 CRLs, a certificate was only considered as revoked if
1441 its revocationDate was in the past according to the local clock if
1442 available. In particular, on builds without MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE,
1443 certificates were never considered as revoked. On builds with
1444 MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE, an attacker able to control the local clock (for
1445 example, an untrusted OS attacking a secure enclave) could prevent
1446 revocation of certificates via CRLs. Fixed by no longer checking the
1447 revocationDate field, in accordance with RFC 5280. Reported by
1448 yuemonangong in #3340. Reported independently and fixed by
1449 Raoul Strackx and Jethro Beekman in #3433.
1450 * In (D)TLS record decryption, when using a CBC ciphersuites without the
1451 Encrypt-then-Mac extension, use constant code flow memory access patterns
1452 to extract and check the MAC. This is an improvement to the existing
1453 countermeasure against Lucky 13 attacks. The previous countermeasure was
1454 effective against network-based attackers, but less so against local
1455 attackers. The new countermeasure defends against local attackers, even
1456 if they have access to fine-grained measurements. In particular, this
1457 fixes a local Lucky 13 cache attack found and reported by Tuba Yavuz,
1458 Farhaan Fowze, Ken (Yihan) Bai, Grant Hernandez, and Kevin Butler
1459 (University of Florida) and Dave Tian (Purdue University).
1460 * Fix side channel in RSA private key operations and static (finite-field)
1461 Diffie-Hellman. An adversary with precise enough timing and memory access
1462 information (typically an untrusted operating system attacking a secure
1463 enclave) could bypass an existing counter-measure (base blinding) and
1464 potentially fully recover the private key.
1465 * Fix a 1-byte buffer overread in mbedtls_x509_crl_parse_der().
1466 Credit to OSS-Fuzz for detecting the problem and to Philippe Antoine
1467 for pinpointing the problematic code.
1468 * Zeroising of plaintext buffers in mbedtls_ssl_read() to erase unused
1469 application data from memory. Reported in #689 by
1470 Johan Uppman Bruce of Sectra.
1471
1472Bugfix
1473 * Library files installed after a CMake build no longer have execute
1474 permission.
Janos Follath6012f0e2020-08-26 15:32:10 +01001475 * Use local labels in mbedtls_padlock_has_support() to fix an invalid symbol
1476 redefinition if the function is inlined.
Janos Follathc18a7b82020-08-26 14:49:16 +01001477 Reported in #3451 and fix contributed in #3452 by okhowang.
1478 * Fix the endianness of Curve25519 keys imported/exported through the PSA
1479 APIs. psa_import_key and psa_export_key will now correctly expect/output
1480 Montgomery keys in little-endian as defined by RFC7748. Contributed by
1481 Steven Cooreman in #3425.
1482 * Fix build errors when the only enabled elliptic curves are Montgomery
1483 curves. Raised by signpainter in #941 and by Taiki-San in #1412. This
1484 also fixes missing declarations reported by Steven Cooreman in #1147.
1485 * Fix self-test failure when the only enabled short Weierstrass elliptic
1486 curve is secp192k1. Fixes #2017.
1487 * PSA key import will now correctly import a Curve25519/Curve448 public key
1488 instead of erroring out. Contributed by Steven Cooreman in #3492.
1489 * Use arc4random_buf on NetBSD instead of rand implementation with cyclical
1490 lower bits. Fix contributed in #3540.
1491 * Fix a memory leak in mbedtls_md_setup() when using HMAC under low memory
1492 conditions. Reported and fix suggested by Guido Vranken in #3486.
1493 * Fix bug in redirection of unit test outputs on platforms where stdout is
1494 defined as a macro. First reported in #2311 and fix contributed in #3528.
1495
1496Changes
1497 * Only pass -Wformat-signedness to versions of GCC that support it. Reported
1498 in #3478 and fix contributed in #3479 by okhowang.
1499 * Reduce the stack consumption of mbedtls_x509write_csr_der() which
1500 previously could lead to stack overflow on constrained devices.
1501 Contributed by Doru Gucea and Simon Leet in #3464.
1502 * Undefine the ASSERT macro before defining it locally, in case it is defined
1503 in a platform header. Contributed by Abdelatif Guettouche in #3557.
1504 * Update copyright notices to use Linux Foundation guidance. As a result,
1505 the copyright of contributors other than Arm is now acknowledged, and the
1506 years of publishing are no longer tracked in the source files. This also
1507 eliminates the need for the lines declaring the files to be part of
1508 MbedTLS. Fixes #3457.
1509 * Add the command line parameter key_pwd to the ssl_client2 and ssl_server2
1510 example applications which allows to provide a password for the key file
1511 specified through the existing key_file argument. This allows the use of
1512 these applications with password-protected key files. Analogously but for
1513 ssl_server2 only, add the command line parameter key_pwd2 which allows to
1514 set a password for the key file provided through the existing key_file2
1515 argument.

1519Default behavior changes
1520 * In the experimental PSA secure element interface, change the encoding of
1521 key lifetimes to encode a persistence level and the location. Although C
1522 prototypes do not effectively change, code calling
1523 psa_register_se_driver() must be modified to pass the driver's location
1524 instead of the keys' lifetime. If the library is upgraded on an existing
1525 device, keys created with the old lifetime value will not be readable or
1526 removable through Mbed TLS after the upgrade.
1527
1528Features
1529 * New functions in the error module return constant strings for
1530 high- and low-level error codes, complementing mbedtls_strerror()
1531 which constructs a string for any error code, including compound
1532 ones, but requires a writable buffer. Contributed by Gaurav Aggarwal
1533 in #3176.
1534 * The new utility programs/ssl/ssl_context_info prints a human-readable
1535 dump of an SSL context saved with mbedtls_ssl_context_save().
1536 * Add support for midipix, a POSIX layer for Microsoft Windows.
1537 * Add new mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() routine which allows
1538 parsing unsupported certificate extensions via user provided callback.
1539 Contributed by Nicola Di Lieto <nicola.dilieto@gmail.com> in #3243 as
1540 a solution to #3241.
1541 * Pass the "certificate policies" extension to the callback supplied to
1542 mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() if it contains unsupported
1543 policies (#3419).
1544 * Added support to entropy_poll for the kern.arandom syscall supported on
1545 some BSD systems. Contributed by Nia Alarie in #3423.
1546 * Add support for Windows 2000 in net_sockets. Contributed by opatomic. #3239

1548Security
1549 * Fix a side channel vulnerability in modular exponentiation that could
1550 reveal an RSA private key used in a secure enclave. Noticed by Sangho Lee,
1551 Ming-Wei Shih, Prasun Gera, Taesoo Kim and Hyesoon Kim (Georgia Institute
1552 of Technology); and Marcus Peinado (Microsoft Research). Reported by Raoul
1553 Strackx (Fortanix) in #3394.
1554 * Fix side channel in mbedtls_ecp_check_pub_priv() and
1555 mbedtls_pk_parse_key() / mbedtls_pk_parse_keyfile() (when loading a
1556 private key that didn't include the uncompressed public key), as well as
1557 mbedtls_ecp_mul() / mbedtls_ecp_mul_restartable() when called with a NULL
1558 f_rng argument. An attacker with access to precise enough timing and
1559 memory access information (typically an untrusted operating system
1560 attacking a secure enclave) could fully recover the ECC private key.
1561 Found and reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Brumley.
1562 * Fix issue in Lucky 13 counter-measure that could make it ineffective when
1563 hardware accelerators were used (using one of the MBEDTLS_SHAxxx_ALT
1564 macros). This would cause the original Lucky 13 attack to be possible in
1565 those configurations, allowing an active network attacker to recover
1566 plaintext after repeated timing measurements under some conditions.
1567 Reported and fix suggested by Luc Perneel in #3246.
1568
1569Bugfix
1570 * Fix the Visual Studio Release x64 build configuration for mbedtls itself.
1571 Completes a previous fix in Mbed TLS 2.19 that only fixed the build for
1572 the example programs. Reported in #1430 and fix contributed by irwir.
1573 * Fix undefined behavior in X.509 certificate parsing if the
1574 pathLenConstraint basic constraint value is equal to INT_MAX.
1575 The actual effect with almost every compiler is the intended
1576 behavior, so this is unlikely to be exploitable anywhere. #3192
1577 * Fix issue with a detected HW accelerated record error not being exposed
1578 due to shadowed variable. Contributed by Sander Visser in #3310.
1579 * Avoid NULL pointer dereferencing if mbedtls_ssl_free() is called with a
1580 NULL pointer argument. Contributed by Sander Visser in #3312.
1581 * Fix potential linker errors on dual world platforms by inlining
1582 mbedtls_gcc_group_to_psa(). This allows the pk.c module to link separately
1583 from psa_crypto.c. Fixes #3300.
1584 * Remove dead code in X.509 certificate parsing. Contributed by irwir in
1585 #2855.
1586 * Include asn1.h in error.c. Fixes #3328 reported by David Hu.
1587 * Fix potential memory leaks in ecp_randomize_jac() and ecp_randomize_mxz()
1588 when PRNG function fails. Contributed by Jonas Lejeune in #3318.
1589 * Remove unused macros from MSVC projects. Reported in #3297 and fix
1590 submitted in #3333 by irwir.
1591 * Add additional bounds checks in ssl_write_client_hello() preventing
1592 output buffer overflow if the configuration declared a buffer that was
1593 too small.
1594 * Set _POSIX_C_SOURCE to at least 200112L in C99 code. Reported in #3420 and
1595 fix submitted in #3421 by Nia Alarie.
1596 * Fix building library/net_sockets.c and the ssl_mail_client program on
1597 NetBSD. Contributed by Nia Alarie in #3422.
1598 * Fix false positive uninitialised variable reported by cpp-check.
1599 Contributed by Sander Visser in #3311.
1600 * Update iv and len context pointers manually when reallocating buffers
1601 using the MBEDTLS_SSL_VARIABLE_BUFFER_LENGTH feature. This caused issues
1602 when receiving a connection with CID, when these fields were shifted
1603 in ssl_parse_record_header().
1604
1605Changes
1606 * Fix warnings about signedness issues in format strings. The build is now
1607 clean of -Wformat-signedness warnings. Contributed by Kenneth Soerensen
1608 in #3153.
1609 * Fix minor performance issue in operations on Curve25519 caused by using a
1610 suboptimal modular reduction in one place. Found and fix contributed by
1611 Aurelien Jarno in #3209.
1612 * Combine identical cases in switch statements in md.c. Contributed
1613 by irwir in #3208.
1614 * Simplify a bounds check in ssl_write_certificate_request(). Contributed
1615 by irwir in #3150.
1616 * Unify the example programs termination to call mbedtls_exit() instead of
1617 using a return command. This has been done to enable customization of the
1618 behavior in bare metal environments.
1619 * Fix mbedtls_x509_dn_gets to escape non-ASCII characters as "?".
1620 Contributed by Koh M. Nakagawa in #3326.
1621 * Use FindPython3 when cmake version >= 3.15.0
1622 * Abort the ClientHello writing function as soon as some extension doesn't
1623 fit into the record buffer. Previously, such extensions were silently
1624 dropped. As a consequence, the TLS handshake now fails when the output
1625 buffer is not large enough to hold the ClientHello.
1626 * The unit tests now rely on header files in tests/include/test and source
1627 files in tests/src. When building with make or cmake, the files in
1628 tests/src are compiled and the resulting object linked into each test
1629 executable.
1630 * The ECP module, enabled by `MBEDTLS_ECP_C`, now depends on
1631 `MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_C` or `MBEDTLS_HMAC_DRBG_C` for some side-channel
1632 coutermeasures. If side channels are not a concern, this dependency can
1633 be avoided by enabling the new option `MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_INTERNAL_RNG`.
1634 * Align MSVC error flag with GCC and Clang. Contributed by Carlos Gomes
1635 Martinho. #3147
1636 * Remove superfluous assignment in mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate(). Reported

1652 (RFC 6347 section 4.2.8): an attacker able to send forged UDP packets to
1653 the server could cause it to drop established associations with
1654 legitimate clients, resulting in a Denial of Service. This could only
1655 happen when MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE was enabled in config.h

1659 untrusted operating system attacking a secure enclave) to fully recover
1660 an ECDSA private key. Found and reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya,

1700 probability (of the order of 2^-n where n is the bitsize of the curve)
1701 unless the RNG is broken, and could result in information disclosure or

1761 * Fix side channel vulnerability in ECDSA. Our bignum implementation is not
1762 constant time/constant trace, so side channel attacks can retrieve the
1763 blinded value, factor it (as it is smaller than RSA keys and not guaranteed
1764 to have only large prime factors), and then, by brute force, recover the
1765 key. Reported by Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya and Billy Brumley.
1766 * Fix side channel vulnerability in ECDSA key generation. Obtaining precise
1767 timings on the comparison in the key generation enabled the attacker to
1768 learn leading bits of the ephemeral key used during ECDSA signatures and to
1769 recover the private key. Reported by Jeremy Dubeuf.
1770 * Catch failure of AES functions in mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random(). Uncaught
1771 failures could happen with alternative implementations of AES. Bug
1772 reported and fix proposed by Johan Uppman Bruce and Christoffer Lauri,
1773 Sectra.

Jaeden Amero4197f0e2019-09-06 14:40:10 +01001846 * Fix a missing error detection in ECJPAKE. This could have caused a
1847 predictable shared secret if a hardware accelerator failed and the other
1848 side of the key exchange had a similar bug.
Gilles Peskine52157832018-08-11 00:51:04 +02001849 * When writing a private EC key, use a constant size for the private
1850 value, as specified in RFC 5915. Previously, the value was written
1851 as an ASN.1 INTEGER, which caused the size of the key to leak
1852 about 1 bit of information on average and could cause the value to be
1853 1 byte too large for the output buffer.
Janos Follath12fff152019-01-04 16:18:46 +00001854 * The deterministic ECDSA calculation reused the scheme's HMAC-DRBG to
1855 implement blinding. Because of this for the same key and message the same
1856 blinding value was generated. This reduced the effectiveness of the
1857 countermeasure and leaked information about the private key through side
1858 channels. Reported by Jack Lloyd.

2007 * Fix private key DER output in the key_app_writer example. File contents
2008 were shifted by one byte, creating an invalid ASN.1 tag. Fixed by
2009 Christian Walther in #2239.
2010 * Fix potential memory leak in X.509 self test. Found and fixed by
2011 Junhwan Park, #2106.
2012 * Reduce stack usage of hkdf tests. Fixes #2195.
2013 * Fix 1-byte buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_write_string() when
2014 used with negative inputs. Found by Guido Vranken in #2404. Credit to
2015 OSS-Fuzz.
2016 * Fix bugs in the AEAD test suite which would be exposed by ciphers which
2017 either used both encrypt and decrypt key schedules, or which perform padding.
2018 GCM and CCM were not affected. Fixed by Jack Lloyd.
2019 * Fix incorrect default port number in ssl_mail_client example's usage.
2020 Found and fixed by irwir. #2337
2021 * Add psa_util.h to test/cpp_dummy_build to fix build_default_make_gcc_and_cxx.
2022 Fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin). #2579
2023 * Add missing parentheses around parameters in the definition of the
Paul Bakker99ed6782011-01-05 14:48:42 +00002024 public macro MBEDTLS_X509_ID_FLAG. This could lead to invalid evaluation
2025 in case operators binding less strongly than subtraction were used
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05002026 for the parameter.
2027 * Add a check for MBEDTLS_X509_CRL_PARSE_C in ssl_server2, guarding the crl
Hanno Beckerac4172c2019-01-31 09:27:04 +00002028 sni entry parameter. Reported by inestlerode in #560.
2029 * Set the next sequence of the subject_alt_name to NULL when deleting
2030 sequence on failure. Found and fix suggested by Philippe Antoine.
2031 Credit to OSS-Fuzz.
2032
Paul Bakker5121ce52009-01-03 21:22:43 +00002033Changes
2034 * Server's RSA certificate in certs.c was SHA-1 signed. In the default
2035 mbedTLS configuration only SHA-2 signed certificates are accepted.
2036 This certificate is used in the demo server programs, which lead the
2037 client programs to fail at the peer's certificate verification
2038 due to an unacceptable hash signature. The certificate has been
2039 updated to one that is SHA-256 signed. Fix contributed by
2040 Illya Gerasymchuk.
2041 * Return from various debugging routines immediately if the
2042 provided SSL context is unset.
2043 * Remove dead code from bignum.c in the default configuration.
2044 Found by Coverity, reported and fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin). Fixes #2309.
2045 * Add test for minimal value of MBEDTLS_MPI_WINDOW_SIZE to all.sh.
2046 Contributed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin).
2047 * Change wording in the `mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_frag_len()`'s documentation to
2048 improve clarity. Fixes #2258.

Paul Bakker99ed6782011-01-05 14:48:42 +00002051
2052Features
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05002053 * Add a new X.509 API call `mbedtls_x509_parse_der_nocopy()`
2054 which allows copy-less parsing of DER encoded X.509 CRTs,
Hanno Beckerac4172c2019-01-31 09:27:04 +00002055 at the cost of additional lifetime constraints on the input
2056 buffer, but at the benefit of reduced RAM consumption.
2057 * Add a new function mbedtls_asn1_write_named_bitstring() to write ASN.1
2058 named bitstring in DER as required by RFC 5280 Appendix B.
2059 * Add MBEDTLS_REMOVE_3DES_CIPHERSUITES to allow removing 3DES ciphersuites
2060 from the default list (enabled by default). See
2061 https://sweet32.info/SWEET32_CCS16.pdf.
2062
2063API Changes
2064 * Add a new X.509 API call `mbedtls_x509_parse_der_nocopy()`.
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05002065 See the Features section for more information.
2066 * Allow to opt in to the removal the API mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()
2067 for the benefit of saving RAM, by disabling the new compile-time
2068 option MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE (enabled by default for
2069 API stability). Disabling this option makes mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()
2070 always return NULL, and removes the peer_cert field from the
2071 mbedtls_ssl_session structure which otherwise stores the peer's
Gilles Peskineccf8ba02018-11-07 22:39:16 +01002072 certificate.
2073
2074Security
2075 * Make mbedtls_ecdh_get_params return an error if the second key
2076 belongs to a different group from the first. Before, if an application
2077 passed keys that belonged to different group, the first key's data was
2078 interpreted according to the second group, which could lead to either
2079 an error or a meaningless output from mbedtls_ecdh_get_params. In the
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05002080 latter case, this could expose at most 5 bits of the private key.
2081
2082Bugfix
2083 * Fix a compilation issue with mbedtls_ecp_restart_ctx not being defined
2084 when MBEDTLS_ECP_ALT is defined. Reported by jwhui. Fixes #2242.
2085 * Run the AD too long test only if MBEDTLS_CCM_ALT is not defined.
2086 Raised as a comment in #1996.
2087 * Reduce the stack consumption of mbedtls_mpi_fill_random() which could
2088 previously lead to a stack overflow on constrained targets.
2089 * Add `MBEDTLS_SELF_TEST` for the mbedtls_self_test functions
2090 in the header files, which missed the precompilation check. #971
2091 * Fix returning the value 1 when mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey failed.
2092 * Remove a duplicate #include in a sample program. Fixed by Masashi Honma #2326.
Hanno Becker1b6d2b22019-01-10 09:22:16 +00002093 * Remove the mbedtls namespacing from the header file, to fix a "file not found"
2094 build error. Fixed by Haijun Gu #2319.
Ron Eldor8a6917d2018-11-27 10:33:38 +02002095 * Fix signed-to-unsigned integer conversion warning
2096 in X.509 module. Fixes #2212.
Peter Kolbus995d5c12019-02-03 08:41:41 -06002097 * Reduce stack usage of `mpi_write_hlp()` by eliminating recursion.
2098 Fixes #2190.
Andres Amaya Garciad588ff72018-09-26 10:59:20 +01002099 * Fix false failure in all.sh when backup files exist in include/mbedtls
2100 (e.g. config.h.bak). Fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin) #2407.
2101 * Ensure that unused bits are zero when writing ASN.1 bitstrings when using
2102 mbedtls_asn1_write_bitstring().
2103 * Fix issue when writing the named bitstrings in KeyUsage and NsCertType
2104 extensions in CSRs and CRTs that caused these bitstrings to not be encoded
Simon Butcher41f95192018-12-01 18:42:47 +00002105 correctly as trailing zeroes were not accounted for as unused bits in the
2106 leading content octet. Fixes #1610.

2108Changes
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05002109 * Reduce RAM consumption during session renegotiation by not storing
2110 the peer CRT chain and session ticket twice.
2111 * Include configuration file in all header files that use configuration,
2112 instead of relying on other header files that they include.
2113 Inserted as an enhancement for #1371
Andrzej Kurek8764ccc2019-02-05 04:57:13 -05002114 * Add support for alternative CSR headers, as used by Microsoft and defined
2115 in RFC 7468. Found by Michael Ernst. Fixes #767.
2116 * Correct many misspellings. Fixed by MisterDA #2371.
2117 * Provide an abstraction of vsnprintf to allow alternative implementations
2118 for platforms that don't provide it. Based on contributions by Joris Aerts
2119 and Nathaniel Wesley Filardo.
2120 * Fix clobber list in MIPS assembly for large integer multiplication.
2121 Previously, this could lead to functionally incorrect assembly being
2122 produced by some optimizing compilers, showing up as failures in
k-stachowiakc5a4a132019-02-05 09:11:58 +01002123 e.g. RSA or ECC signature operations. Reported in #1722, fix suggested
2124 by Aurelien Jarno and submitted by Jeffrey Martin.
Andres Amaya Garciaaabe52f2018-10-16 22:18:53 +01002125 * Reduce the complexity of the timing tests. They were assuming more than the
2126 underlying OS actually guarantees.
k-stachowiakcddbd012019-02-19 12:40:34 +01002127 * Fix configuration queries in ssl-opt.h. #2030
2128 * Ensure that ssl-opt.h can be run in OS X. #2029
Andres Amaya Garciaf8dffb32019-02-19 20:14:00 +00002129 * Re-enable certain interoperability tests in ssl-opt.sh which had previously
2130 been disabled for lack of a sufficiently recent version of GnuTLS on the CI.
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05002131 * Ciphersuites based on 3DES now have the lowest priority by default when
2132 they are enabled.
2133
2134= mbed TLS 2.16.0 branch released 2018-12-21
2135
2136Features
2137 * Add a new config.h option of MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS that enables validation
2138 of parameters in the API. This allows detection of obvious misuses of the
2139 API, such as passing NULL pointers. The API of existing functions hasn't
2140 changed, but requirements on parameters have been made more explicit in
2141 the documentation. See the corresponding API documentation for each
2142 function to see for which parameter values it is defined. This feature is
2143 disabled by default. See its API documentation in config.h for additional
2144 steps you have to take when enabling it.
2145
2146API Changes
2147 * The following functions in the random generator modules have been
2148 deprecated and replaced as shown below. The new functions change
2149 the return type from void to int to allow returning error codes when
2150 using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT for the underlying AES or message digest
2151 primitive. Fixes #1798.
2152 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update() -> mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret()
2153 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update() -> mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update_ret()
2154 * Extend ECDH interface to enable alternative implementations.
2155 * Deprecate error codes of the form MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx_INVALID_KEY_LENGTH for
2156 ARIA, CAMELLIA and Blowfish. These error codes will be replaced by
2157 the more generic per-module error codes MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx_BAD_INPUT_DATA.
2158 * Additional parameter validation checks have been added for the following
2159 modules - AES, ARIA, Blowfish, CAMELLIA, CCM, GCM, DHM, ECP, ECDSA, ECDH,
2160 ECJPAKE, SHA, Chacha20 and Poly1305, cipher, pk, RSA, and MPI.
2161 Where modules have had parameter validation added, existing parameter
2162 checks may have changed. Some modules, such as Chacha20 had existing
2163 parameter validation whereas other modules had little. This has now been
2164 changed so that the same level of validation is present in all modules, and
2165 that it is now optional with the MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS flag which by default
2166 is off. That means that checks which were previously present by default
2167 will no longer be.
2168
2169New deprecations
2170 * Deprecate mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update
2171 in favor of functions that can return an error code.
2172
2173Bugfix
2174 * Fix for Clang, which was reporting a warning for the bignum.c inline
2175 assembly for AMD64 targets creating string literals greater than those
2176 permitted by the ISO C99 standard. Found by Aaron Jones. Fixes #482.
2177 * Fix runtime error in `mbedtls_platform_entropy_poll()` when run
2178 through qemu user emulation. Reported and fix suggested by randombit
2179 in #1212. Fixes #1212.
2180 * Fix an unsafe bounds check when restoring an SSL session from a ticket.
2181 This could lead to a buffer overflow, but only in case ticket authentication
2182 was broken. Reported and fix suggested by Guido Vranken in #659.
2183 * Add explicit integer to enumeration type casts to example program
2184 programs/pkey/gen_key which previously led to compilation failure
2185 on some toolchains. Reported by phoenixmcallister. Fixes #2170.
2186 * Fix double initialization of ECC hardware that made some accelerators
2187 hang.
2188 * Clarify documentation of mbedtls_ssl_set_own_cert() regarding the absence
Andrzej Kurek8764ccc2019-02-05 04:57:13 -05002189 of check for certificate/key matching. Reported by Attila Molnar, #507.

2211Security
2212 * Fix timing variations and memory access variations in RSA PKCS#1 v1.5
2213 decryption that could lead to a Bleichenbacher-style padding oracle
2214 attack. In TLS, this affects servers that accept ciphersuites based on
2215 RSA decryption (i.e. ciphersuites whose name contains RSA but not
2216 (EC)DH(E)). Discovered by Eyal Ronen (Weizmann Institute), Robert Gillham
2217 (University of Adelaide), Daniel Genkin (University of Michigan),
2218 Adi Shamir (Weizmann Institute), David Wong (NCC Group), and Yuval Yarom
2219 (University of Adelaide, Data61). The attack is described in more detail
2220 in the paper available here: http://cat.eyalro.net/cat.pdf CVE-2018-19608
2221 * In mbedtls_mpi_write_binary(), don't leak the exact size of the number
2222 via branching and memory access patterns. An attacker who could submit
2223 a plaintext for RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 decryption but only observe the timing
2224 of the decryption and not its result could nonetheless decrypt RSA
2225 plaintexts and forge RSA signatures. Other asymmetric algorithms may
2226 have been similarly vulnerable. Reported by Eyal Ronen, Robert Gillham,
2227 Daniel Genkin, Adi Shamir, David Wong and Yuval Yarom.
2228 * Wipe sensitive buffers on the stack in the CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG
2229 modules.
2230
2231API Changes
2232 * The new functions mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret() and
2233 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update_ret() are similar to mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update()
2234 and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update() respectively, but the new functions
Andrzej Kurekc470b6b2019-01-31 08:20:20 -05002235 report errors whereas the old functions return void. We recommend that
Simon Butcherc1b98922018-11-19 18:31:40 +00002236 applications use the new functions.

Simon Butcher681edee2018-11-07 16:25:38 +00002241 * Fix overly strict DN comparison when looking for CRLs belonging to a
2242 particular CA. This previously led to ignoring CRLs when the CRL's issuer
2243 name and the CA's subject name differed in their string encoding (e.g.,
2244 one using PrintableString and the other UTF8String) or in the choice of
Hanno Beckerdc71ef82018-10-08 13:51:38 +01002245 upper and lower case. Reported by Henrik Andersson of Bosch GmbH in issue
Simon Butcherb35e59d2018-11-19 15:49:26 +00002246 #1784.
Hanno Beckerdc71ef82018-10-08 13:51:38 +01002247 * Fix a flawed bounds check in server PSK hint parsing. In case the
Simon Butcherb35e59d2018-11-19 15:49:26 +00002248 incoming message buffer was placed within the first 64KiB of address
2249 space and a PSK-(EC)DHE ciphersuite was used, this allowed an attacker
Janos Follathe0e7ddf2018-09-06 10:40:04 +01002250 to trigger a memory access up to 64KiB beyond the incoming message buffer,
2251 potentially leading to an application crash or information disclosure.
2252 * Fix mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() to use more rounds of probabilistic testing. The
2253 previous settings for the number of rounds made it practical for an
Simon Butcher681edee2018-11-07 16:25:38 +00002254 adversary to construct non-primes that would be erroneously accepted as
2255 primes with high probability. This does not have an impact on the
Janos Follathe0e7ddf2018-09-06 10:40:04 +01002256 security of TLS, but can matter in other contexts with numbers chosen
2257 potentially by an adversary that should be prime and can be validated.
2258 For example, the number of rounds was enough to securely generate RSA key
2259 pairs or Diffie-Hellman parameters, but was insufficient to validate
2260 Diffie-Hellman parameters properly.

Simon Butcherb35e59d2018-11-19 15:49:26 +00002264Features
2265 * Add support for temporarily suspending expensive ECC computations after
2266 some configurable amount of operations. This is intended to be used in
2267 constrained, single-threaded systems where ECC is time consuming and can
2268 block other operations until they complete. This is disabled by default,
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardf0bbd7e2018-10-15 13:22:41 +02002269 but can be enabled by MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE at compile time and
2270 configured by mbedtls_ecp_set_max_ops() at runtime. It applies to the new
2271 xxx_restartable functions in ECP, ECDSA, PK and X.509 (CRL not supported
2272 yet), and to existing functions in ECDH and SSL (currently only
Simon Butcher4a865ef2018-10-28 18:00:51 +00002273 implemented client-side, for ECDHE-ECDSA ciphersuites in TLS 1.2,
2274 including client authentication).
2275 * Add support for Arm CPU DSP extensions to accelerate asymmetric key
2276 operations. On CPUs where the extensions are available, they can accelerate
Simon Butcherb35e59d2018-11-19 15:49:26 +00002277 MPI multiplications used in ECC and RSA cryptography. Contributed by
2278 Aurelien Jarno.
2279 * Extend RSASSA-PSS signature to allow a smaller salt size. Previously, PSS
2280 signature always used a salt with the same length as the hash, and returned
2281 an error if this was not possible. Now the salt size may be up to two bytes
Simon Butcher06d80cf2018-11-06 23:46:04 +00002282 shorter. This allows the library to support all hash and signature sizes
2283 that comply with FIPS 186-4, including SHA-512 with a 1024-bit key.
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard823c9152018-07-02 12:05:49 +02002284 * Add support for 128-bit keys in CTR_DRBG. Note that using keys shorter
Simon Butchere51d4b32018-11-09 19:57:53 +00002285 than 256 bits limits the security of generated material to 128 bits.
Simon Butcher2ab14bb2018-11-09 20:09:33 +00002286

Simon Butcher2ab14bb2018-11-09 20:09:33 +00002297 platform error.
2298 * All module specific generic hardware acceleration errors following the
Janos Follathe0e7ddf2018-09-06 10:40:04 +01002299 form MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED that are deprecated and are replaced
2300 by the equivalent plaform error.
2301 * Deprecate the function mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() in favor of
Ron Eldor6aa9fb42018-10-04 14:32:05 +03002302 mbedtls_mpi_is_prime_ext() which allows specifying the number of

2309 Fixes #2069.
Simon Butcher1afc7672018-09-27 11:35:19 +01002310 * Fix a bug in the update function for SSL ticket keys which previously

2322 after use.
Hanno Beckerf143a782018-11-06 17:43:16 +00002323 * Use `mbedtls_platform_zeroize()` instead of `memset()` for zeroization
2324 of sensitive data in the example programs aescrypt2 and crypt_and_hash.
2325 * Change the default string format used for various X.509 DN attributes to
Simon Butcher681edee2018-11-07 16:25:38 +00002326 UTF8String. Previously, the use of the PrintableString format led to
2327 wildcards and non-ASCII characters being unusable in some DN attributes.

Gilles Peskine604ccc62018-07-10 15:55:52 +02002336 * Removed support for Yotta as a build tool.
2337 * Add tests for session resumption in DTLS.
2338 * Close a test gap in (D)TLS between the client side and the server side:
Simon Butcherddc9e262018-10-27 18:27:41 +01002339 test the handling of large packets and small packets on the client side
2340 in the same way as on the server side.
Simon Butcher404aa652018-10-01 14:44:22 +01002341 * Change the dtls_client and dtls_server samples to work by default over
2342 IPv6 and optionally by a build option over IPv4.
2343 * Change the use of Windows threading to use Microsoft Visual C++ runtime
Simon Butcher681edee2018-11-07 16:25:38 +00002344 calls, rather than Win32 API calls directly. This is necessary to avoid
2345 conflict with C runtime usage. Found and fixed by irwir.
2346 * Remember the string format of X.509 DN attributes when replicating
2347 X.509 DNs. Previously, DN attributes were always written in their default
2348 string format (mostly PrintableString), which could lead to CRTs being
2349 created which used PrintableStrings in the issuer field even though the
2350 signing CA used UTF8Strings in its subject field; while X.509 compliant,
2351 such CRTs were rejected in some applications, e.g. some versions of

2415 * Fix a bug that caused SSL/TLS clients to incorrectly abort the handshake
2416 with TLS versions 1.1 and earlier when the server requested authentication
2417 without providing a list of CAs. This was due to an overly strict bounds
Hanno Becker44814642018-08-03 09:53:48 +01002418 check in parsing the CertificateRequest message,

2443Security
2444 * Fix a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based on CBC and using SHA-384,
2445 in (D)TLS 1.0 to 1.2, that allowed an active network attacker to
2446 partially recover the plaintext of messages under some conditions by
2447 exploiting timing measurements. With DTLS, the attacker could perform
2448 this recovery by sending many messages in the same connection. With TLS
2449 or if mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only
2450 worked if the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly
2451 sent over connections manipulated by the attacker. Connections using GCM
2452 or CCM instead of CBC, using hash sizes other than SHA-384, or using
2453 Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected. The vulnerability was
2454 caused by a miscalculation (for SHA-384) in a countermeasure to the
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard1cc1fb02018-06-28 12:10:27 +02002455 original Lucky 13 attack. Found by Kenny Paterson, Eyal Ronen and Adi

Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard830ce112018-07-11 18:27:08 +02002458 1.2, that allowed a local attacker, able to execute code on the local
Antonin Décimo36e89b52019-01-23 15:24:37 +01002459 machine as well as manipulate network packets, to partially recover the
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard830ce112018-07-11 18:27:08 +02002460 plaintext of messages under some conditions by using a cache attack
2461 targeting an internal MD/SHA buffer. With TLS or if
2462 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only worked if
2463 the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly sent over
2464 connections manipulated by the attacker. Connections using GCM or CCM
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard7b420302018-06-28 10:38:35 +02002465 instead of CBC or using Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected.

2467 * Add a counter-measure against a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based
2468 on CBC, in (D)TLS 1.0 to 1.2, that allowed a local attacker, able to
2469 execute code on the local machine as well as manipulate network packets,
2470 to partially recover the plaintext of messages under some conditions (see
2471 previous entry) by using a cache attack targeting the SSL input record

2550 * In TLS servers, support offloading private key operations to an external
Simon Butcherebe23ed2018-06-12 16:46:45 +01002551 cryptoprocessor. Private key operations can be asynchronous to allow
Simon Butcher601144e2018-06-12 17:04:58 +01002552 non-blocking operation of the TLS server stack.

2572 * Add support for ARIA cipher (RFC 5794) and associated TLS ciphersuites
Gilles Peskine80aa3b82018-04-04 10:33:45 +02002573 (RFC 6209). Disabled by default, see MBEDTLS_ARIA_C in config.h
Andres Amaya Garcia19624052018-03-08 20:06:03 +00002574
2575API Changes
2576 * Extend the platform module with a util component that contains
2577 functionality shared by multiple Mbed TLS modules. At this stage
2578 platform_util.h (and its associated platform_util.c) only contain
2579 mbedtls_platform_zeroize(), which is a critical function from a security
2580 point of view. mbedtls_platform_zeroize() needs to be regularly tested
2581 against compilers to ensure that calls to it are not removed from the
2582 output binary as part of redundant code elimination optimizations.
Hanno Becker2bd57572018-03-28 14:52:35 +01002583 Therefore, mbedtls_platform_zeroize() is moved to the platform module to
Simon Butcherd72700a2018-06-01 19:11:55 +01002584 facilitate testing and maintenance.

2597Security
2598 * Fix an issue in the X.509 module which could lead to a buffer overread
2599 during certificate validation. Additionally, the issue could also lead to
2600 unnecessary callback checks being made or to some validation checks to be
2601 omitted. The overread could be triggered remotely, while the other issues
2602 would require a non DER-compliant certificate to be correctly signed by a
2603 trusted CA, or a trusted CA with a non DER-compliant certificate. Found by
2604 luocm. Fixes #825.
2605 * Fix the buffer length assertion in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
2606 function which led to an arbitrary overread of the message buffer. The
2607 overreads could be caused by receiving a malformed message at the point
2608 where an optional signature algorithms list is expected when the signature
Andrzej Kurekb7a18c02018-04-25 05:25:30 -04002609 algorithms section is too short. In builds with debug output, the overread
Simon Butcherb03120a2018-04-30 16:40:25 +01002610 data is output with the debug data.
2611 * Fix a client-side bug in the validation of the server's ciphersuite choice
2612 which could potentially lead to the client accepting a ciphersuite it didn't
2613 offer or a ciphersuite that cannot be used with the TLS or DTLS version
Gilles Peskine5bdb6712018-03-22 21:34:15 +01002614 chosen by the server. This could lead to corruption of internal data
Gilles Peskine15ad5792018-03-22 22:21:55 +01002615 structures for some configurations.

2627 * Extend the public API with the function of mbedtls_net_poll() to allow user
2628 applications to wait for a network context to become ready before reading
2629 or writing.
2630 * Add function mbedtls_ssl_check_pending() to the public API to allow
Gilles Peskine557e77d2018-04-04 09:18:11 +02002631 a check for whether more more data is pending to be processed in the
2632 internal message buffers.

Jethro Beekmancb122372018-04-11 08:40:38 -07002649 * Fix parsing of PKCS#8 encoded Elliptic Curve keys. Previously Mbed TLS was
Simon Butcherb03120a2018-04-30 16:40:25 +01002650 unable to parse keys which had only the optional parameters field of the
2651 ECPrivateKey structure. Found by Jethro Beekman, fixed in #1379.
2652 * Return the plaintext data more quickly on unpadded CBC decryption, as
Gilles Peskineb9e86962018-04-04 09:20:59 +02002653 stated in the mbedtls_cipher_update() documentation. Contributed by

2656 a file in pk_sign program. Found by kevlut in #1142.
2657 * Restrict usage of error code MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_READ to situations
2658 where data needs to be fetched from the underlying transport in order
2659 to make progress. Previously, this error code was also occasionally
Simon Butcherb03120a2018-04-30 16:40:25 +01002660 returned when unexpected messages were being discarded, ignoring that
2661 further messages could potentially already be pending to be processed
Gilles Peskinef2b76cd2018-04-19 17:41:39 +02002662 in the internal buffers; these cases led to deadlocks when event-driven
2663 I/O was used. Found and reported by Hubert Mis in #772.
2664 * Fix buffer length assertions in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
Andrzej Kurek5462e022018-04-20 07:58:53 -04002665 function which leads to a potential one byte overread of the message
2666 buffer.
Simon Butchere6a2a1a2018-05-01 13:57:53 +01002667 * Fix invalid buffer sizes passed to zlib during record compression and
2668 decompression.
2669 * Fix the soversion of libmbedcrypto to match the soversion of the
2670 maintained 2.7 branch. The soversion was increased in Mbed TLS
Gilles Peskine08185402018-03-22 21:50:48 +01002671 version 2.7.1 to reflect breaking changes in that release, but the

2683 Budai.
2684 * Harden the function mbedtls_ssl_config_free() against misuse, so that it
2685 doesn't leak memory if the user doesn't use mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk() and
Andres Amaya Garciacb47a792018-03-27 21:19:50 +01002686 instead incorrectly manipulates the configuration structure directly.
2687 Found and fix submitted by junyeonLEE in #1220.
2688 * Provide an empty implementation of mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() when
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnardfff308e2018-03-28 11:13:05 +02002689 MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C is not enabled. This allows the use of PBKDF2
2690 without PBES2. Fixed by Marcos Del Sol Vives.

2713 * Declare functions in header files even when an alternative implementation
2714 of the corresponding module is activated by defining the corresponding
2715 MBEDTLS_XXX_ALT macro. This means that alternative implementations do
Andrzej Kurekaca09c72018-04-13 05:18:08 -04002716 not need to copy the declarations, and ensures that they will have the

2724 that when both sides of a TLS connection negotiate the truncated
2725 HMAC extension, Mbed TLS can now interoperate with other

Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00002804 * Fix a heap corruption issue in the implementation of the truncated HMAC
2805 extension. When the truncated HMAC extension is enabled and CBC is used,
2806 sending a malicious application packet could be used to selectively corrupt
2807 6 bytes on the peer's heap, which could potentially lead to crash or remote
2808 code execution. The issue could be triggered remotely from either side in
2809 both TLS and DTLS. CVE-2018-0488
2810 * Fix a buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the hash was too large
2811 for the key size, which could potentially lead to crash or remote code
2812 execution. Found by Seth Terashima, Qualcomm Product Security Initiative,
2813 Qualcomm Technologies Inc. CVE-2018-0487
2814 * Fix buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the unmasked data is all
2815 zeros.
2816 * Fix an unsafe bounds check in ssl_parse_client_psk_identity() when adding
2817 64 KiB to the address of the SSL buffer and causing a wrap around.
2818 * Fix a potential heap buffer overflow in mbedtls_ssl_write(). When the (by
Hanno Becker930025d2017-09-18 16:07:19 +01002819 default enabled) maximum fragment length extension is disabled in the
2820 config and the application data buffer passed to mbedtls_ssl_write
2821 is larger than the internal message buffer (16384 bytes by default), the
2822 latter overflows. The exploitability of this issue depends on whether the
2823 application layer can be forced into sending such large packets. The issue
2824 was independently reported by Tim Nordell via e-mail and by Florin Petriuc
Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00002825 and sjorsdewit on GitHub. Fix proposed by Florin Petriuc in #1022.
2826 Fixes #707.
2827 * Add a provision to prevent compiler optimizations breaking the time
2828 constancy of mbedtls_ssl_safer_memcmp().
Andres Amaya Garcia364051f2017-07-05 15:40:17 +01002829 * Ensure that buffers are cleared after use if they contain sensitive data.
Andres Amaya Garciad48ba2b2017-07-06 17:17:43 +01002830 Changes were introduced in multiple places in the library.
Ron Eldor31162e42017-09-05 15:34:35 +03002831 * Set PEM buffer to zero before freeing it, to avoid decoded private keys
2832 being leaked to memory after release.
Janos Follathb174c842017-09-20 16:26:04 +01002833 * Fix dhm_check_range() failing to detect trivial subgroups and potentially
2834 leaking 1 bit of the private key. Reported by prashantkspatil.
Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00002835 * Make mbedtls_mpi_read_binary() constant-time with respect to the input
2836 data. Previously, trailing zero bytes were detected and omitted for the
2837 sake of saving memory, but potentially leading to slight timing
2838 differences. Reported by Marco Macchetti, Kudelski Group.
Hanno Becker509fef72017-10-19 10:10:18 +01002839 * Wipe stack buffer temporarily holding EC private exponent
2840 after keypair generation.
Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00002841 * Fix a potential heap buffer over-read in ALPN extension parsing
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard239987f2018-01-09 10:43:43 +01002842 (server-side). Could result in application crash, but only if an ALPN
2843 name larger than 16 bytes had been configured on the server.
Hanno Becker0cd5b942017-10-13 17:17:28 +01002844 * Change default choice of DHE parameters from untrustworthy RFC 5114
2845 to RFC 3526 containing parameters generated in a nothing-up-my-sleeve
2846 manner.

2849 * Allow comments in test data files.
Gilles Peskinec82fbb42017-12-15 15:01:27 +01002850 * The selftest program can execute a subset of the tests based on command
2851 line arguments.
Gilles Peskine8873bcc2017-10-27 18:42:32 +02002852 * New unit tests for timing. Improve the self-test to be more robust
2853 when run on a heavily-loaded machine.
Gilles Peskine618d0912018-01-02 16:04:19 +01002854 * Add alternative implementation support for CCM and CMAC (MBEDTLS_CCM_ALT,
Jaeden Amero91d49e82018-01-11 16:35:44 +00002855 MBEDTLS_CMAC_ALT). Submitted by Steven Cooreman, Silicon Labs.

Ron Eldor314adb62017-10-10 18:28:25 +03002858 * Add support for alternative implementations for ECDSA, controlled by new
2859 configuration flags MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT, MBEDTLS_ECDSA_VERIFY_ALT and
2860 MBEDTLS_ECDSDA_GENKEY_AT in config.h.
Ron Eldor2981a0a2017-09-24 15:41:09 +03002861 The following functions from the ECDSA module can be replaced
Ron Eldor314adb62017-10-10 18:28:25 +03002862 with alternative implementation:
Ron Eldor2981a0a2017-09-24 15:41:09 +03002863 mbedtls_ecdsa_sign(), mbedtls_ecdsa_verify() and mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey().
Hanno Becker087d5ad2018-01-24 16:06:25 +00002864 * Add support for alternative implementation of ECDH, controlled by the
2865 new configuration flags MBEDTLS_ECDH_COMPUTE_SHARED_ALT and
Ron Eldora84c1cb2017-10-10 19:04:27 +03002866 MBEDTLS_ECDH_GEN_PUBLIC_ALT in config.h.
Ron Eldor8b766212017-09-24 15:44:56 +03002867 The following functions from the ECDH module can be replaced
2868 with an alternative implementation:
2869 mbedtls_ecdh_gen_public() and mbedtls_ecdh_compute_shared().
Hanno Becker087d5ad2018-01-24 16:06:25 +00002870 * Add support for alternative implementation of ECJPAKE, controlled by
2871 the new configuration flag MBEDTLS_ECJPAKE_ALT.
Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00002872 * Add mechanism to provide alternative implementation of the DHM module.

Hanno Beckera47023e2017-12-22 17:08:03 +00002874API Changes
2875 * Extend RSA interface by multiple functions allowing structure-
2876 independent setup and export of RSA contexts. Most notably,
Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00002877 mbedtls_rsa_import() and mbedtls_rsa_complete() are introduced for setting
Hanno Beckera47023e2017-12-22 17:08:03 +00002878 up RSA contexts from partial key material and having them completed to the
2879 needs of the implementation automatically. This allows to setup private RSA
2880 contexts from keys consisting of N,D,E only, even if P,Q are needed for the
2881 purpose or CRT and/or blinding.
2882 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_RSA_ALT can be used to define alternative
2883 implementations of the RSA interface declared in rsa.h.
Gilles Peskine0a969102018-01-22 14:55:20 +01002884 * The following functions in the message digest modules (MD2, MD4, MD5,
2885 SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) have been deprecated and replaced as shown below.
2886 The new functions change the return type from void to int to allow
2887 returning error codes when using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT.
2888 mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts_ret()
2889 mbedtls_<MODULE>_update() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_update_ret()
2890 mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish_ret()
Andres Amaya Garciaf01a6442017-07-03 16:00:59 +01002891 mbedtls_<MODULE>_process() -> mbedtls_internal_<MODULE>_process()
Gilles Peskineb04e2c32017-09-29 15:45:12 +02002892
Ron Eldor73a38172017-10-03 15:58:26 +03002893New deprecations
2894 * Deprecate usage of RSA primitives with non-matching key-type
Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00002895 (e.g. signing with a public key).
Andres Amaya Garciaf569f702017-06-28 09:25:10 +01002896 * Direct manipulation of structure fields of RSA contexts is deprecated.
2897 Users are advised to use the extended RSA API instead.
Jaeden Amero005239e2018-01-25 14:47:39 +00002898 * Deprecate usage of message digest functions that return void
2899 (mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts, mbedtls_<MODULE>_update,
2900 mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish and mbedtls_<MODULE>_process where <MODULE> is
2901 any of MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) in favor of functions
2902 that can return an error code.
Hanno Becker0cd5b942017-10-13 17:17:28 +01002903 * Deprecate untrustworthy DHE parameters from RFC 5114. Superseded by
2904 parameters from RFC 3526 or the newly added parameters from RFC 7919.
2905 * Deprecate hex string DHE constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P etc.
2906 Supserseded by binary encoded constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P_BIN
2907 etc.
Simon Butcher55fc4e02018-02-05 01:09:13 +00002908 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param() for setting default DHE parameters
2909 from hex strings. Superseded by mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param_bin()
Hanno Becker0cd5b942017-10-13 17:17:28 +01002910 accepting DHM parameters in binary form, matching the new constants.

Ron Eldor73a38172017-10-03 15:58:26 +03002918 * Parse signature algorithm extension when renegotiating. Previously,
2919 renegotiated handshakes would only accept signatures using SHA-1
2920 regardless of the peer's preferences, or fail if SHA-1 was disabled.
Andres Amaya Garcia735b37e2016-11-21 15:38:02 +00002921 * Fix leap year calculation in x509_date_is_valid() to ensure that invalid

2932 pem_aes_decrypt(), pem_des_decrypt() and pem_des3_decrypt() respectively.
2933 If a call to one of the functions of the cryptographic primitive modules
2934 failed, the error may not be noticed by the function
2935 mbedtls_pem_read_buffer() causing it to return invalid values. Found by
2936 Guido Vranken. #756
Gilles Peskine4b117d92017-11-28 17:23:37 +01002937 * Include configuration file in md.h, to fix compilation warnings.
2938 Reported by aaronmdjones in #1001

Janos Follath78b14732017-06-22 10:02:07 +01003071 * Removed mutexes from ECP hardware accelerator code. Now all hardware

3084 The issue could only happen client-side with renegotiation enabled.
3085 Could result in DoS (application crash) or information leak
3086 (if the application layer sent data read from mbedtls_ssl_read()
3087 back to the server or to a third party). Can be triggered remotely.
Gilles Peskine5d2511c2017-05-12 13:16:40 +02003088 * Removed SHA-1 and RIPEMD-160 from the default hash algorithms for
3089 certificate verification. SHA-1 can be turned back on with a compile-time
3090 option if needed.
Gilles Peskined50177f2017-05-16 17:53:03 +02003091 * Fixed offset in FALLBACK_SCSV parsing that caused TLS server to fail to

Janos Follath5a1c0e72017-06-16 09:00:07 +01003097 * Remove size zero arrays from ECJPAKE test suite. Size zero arrays are not
3098 valid C and they prevented the test from compiling in Visual Studio 2015
3099 and with GCC using the -Wpedantic compilation option.
Hanno Becker7e5437a2017-04-28 17:15:26 +01003100 * Fix insufficient support for signature-hash-algorithm extension,
3101 resulting in compatibility problems with Chrome. Found by hfloyrd. #823
Janos Follath5a1c0e72017-06-16 09:00:07 +01003102 * Fix behaviour that hid the original cause of fatal alerts in some cases
3103 when sending the alert failed. The fix makes sure not to hide the error
Gilles Peskine3df98f52017-05-10 17:47:40 +02003104 that triggered the alert.
Janos Follath5a1c0e72017-06-16 09:00:07 +01003105 * Fix SSLv3 renegotiation behaviour and stop processing data received from
3106 peer after sending a fatal alert to refuse a renegotiation attempt.
3107 Previous behaviour was to keep processing data even after the alert has
3108 been sent.
Hanno Becker39ae8cd2017-05-08 16:31:14 +01003109 * Accept empty trusted CA chain in authentication mode

Janos Follath5a1c0e72017-06-16 09:00:07 +01003111 * Fix implementation of mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate() to not annihilate
3112 fatal errors in authentication mode MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL and to
3113 reflect bad EC curves within verification result.
3114 * Fix bug that caused the modular inversion function to accept the invalid
3115 modulus 1 and therefore to hang. Found by blaufish. #641.
3116 * Fix incorrect sign computation in modular exponentiation when the base is
3117 a negative MPI. Previously the result was always negative. Found by Guido
3118 Vranken.

3124 sending the fatal alert and just drop the connection.
Janos Follath0a5154b2017-03-10 11:31:41 +00003125 * Clarify ECDSA documentation and improve the sample code to avoid
Janos Follath5a1c0e72017-06-16 09:00:07 +01003126 misunderstanding and potentially dangerous use of the API. Pointed out

Janos Follath5a1c0e72017-06-16 09:00:07 +01003142 * Add hardware acceleration support for the Elliptic Curve Point module.
3143 This involved exposing parts of the internal interface to enable
3144 replacing the core functions and adding and alternative, module level
3145 replacement support for enabling the extension of the interface.
Janos Follath7a8a0902017-04-10 16:13:06 +01003146 * Add a new configuration option to 'mbedtls_ssl_config' to enable
3147 suppressing the CA list in Certificate Request messages. The default
3148 behaviour has not changed, namely every configured CAs name is included.
3149
Andres AGf5bf7182017-03-03 14:09:56 +00003150API Changes

3636 mbedtls_base64_decode()
3637 mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
3638 mbedtls_dhm_calc_secret()
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard91895852015-06-30 13:34:45 +02003639 * In the NET module, all "int" and "int *" arguments for file descriptors
3640 changed type to "mbedtls_net_context *".
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard0b104b02015-05-14 21:52:40 +02003641 * net_accept() gained new arguments for the size of the client_ip buffer.

4918 POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_CONN_EOF on an EOF from its f_recv() function.
4919 ssl_read() returns 0 if a POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_CONN_EOF is received
4920 after the handshake.
Paul Bakker831a7552011-05-18 13:32:51 +00004921 * Network functions now return POLARSSL_ERR_NET_WANT_READ or
