1 mbed TLS ChangeLog (Sorted per branch, date)
3 = mbed TLS 2.18.1 branch released 2019-07-12
6 * Fix build failure when building with mingw on Windows by including
7 stdarg.h where needed. Fixes #2656.
10 * Enable building of Mbed TLS as a CMake subproject. Suggested and fixed by
11 Ashley Duncan in #2609.
13 = mbed TLS 2.18.0 branch released 2019-06-11
16 * Add the Any Policy certificate policy oid, as defined in
17 rfc 5280 section 4.2.1.4.
18 * It is now possible to use NIST key wrap mode via the mbedtls_cipher API.
19 Contributed by Jack Lloyd and Fortanix Inc.
20 * Add the Wi-SUN Field Area Network (FAN) device extended key usage.
21 * Add the oid certificate policy x509 extension.
22 * It is now possible to perform RSA PKCS v1.5 signatures with RIPEMD-160 digest.
23 Contributed by Jack Lloyd and Fortanix Inc.
24 * Extend the MBEDTLS_SSL_EXPORT_KEYS to export the handshake randbytes,
26 * Add public API for tls-prf function, according to requested enum.
27 * Add support for parsing otherName entries in the Subject Alternative Name
28 X.509 certificate extension, specifically type hardware module name,
29 as defined in RFC 4108 section 5.
30 * Add support for parsing certificate policies extension, as defined in
31 RFC 5280 section 4.2.1.4. Currently, only the "Any Policy" policy is
33 * List all SAN types in the subject_alt_names field of the certificate.
35 * Add support for draft-05 of the Connection ID extension, as specified
36 in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-dtls-connection-id-05.
37 The Connection ID extension allows to keep DTLS connections beyond the
38 lifetime of the underlying transport by adding a connection identifier
39 to the DTLS record header. This identifier can be used to associated an
40 incoming record with the correct connection data even after the peer has
41 changed its IP or port. The feature is enabled at compile-time by setting
42 MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CONNECTION_ID (disabled by default), and at run-time
43 through the new APIs mbedtls_ssl_conf_cid() and mbedtls_ssl_set_cid().
46 * Fix private key DER output in the key_app_writer example. File contents
47 were shifted by one byte, creating an invalid ASN.1 tag. Fixed by
48 Christian Walther in #2239.
49 * Fix potential memory leak in X.509 self test. Found and fixed by
51 * Reduce stack usage of hkdf tests. Fixes #2195.
52 * Fix 1-byte buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_write_string() when
53 used with negative inputs. Found by Guido Vranken in #2404. Credit to
55 * Fix bugs in the AEAD test suite which would be exposed by ciphers which
56 either used both encrypt and decrypt key schedules, or which perform padding.
57 GCM and CCM were not affected. Fixed by Jack Lloyd.
58 * Fix incorrect default port number in ssl_mail_client example's usage.
59 Found and fixed by irwir. #2337
60 * Add psa_util.h to test/cpp_dummy_build to fix build_default_make_gcc_and_cxx.
61 Fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin). #2579
62 * Add missing parentheses around parameters in the definition of the
63 public macro MBEDTLS_X509_ID_FLAG. This could lead to invalid evaluation
64 in case operators binding less strongly than subtraction were used
66 * Add a check for MBEDTLS_X509_CRL_PARSE_C in ssl_server2, guarding the crl
67 sni entry parameter. Reported by inestlerode in #560.
68 * Set the next sequence of the subject_alt_name to NULL when deleting
69 sequence on failure. Found and fix suggested by Philippe Antoine.
73 * Extend the MBEDTLS_SSL_EXPORT_KEYS to export the handshake randbytes,
75 * Add public API for tls-prf function, according to requested enum.
78 * Server's RSA certificate in certs.c was SHA-1 signed. In the default
79 mbedTLS configuration only SHA-2 signed certificates are accepted.
80 This certificate is used in the demo server programs, which lead the
81 client programs to fail at the peer's certificate verification
82 due to an unacceptable hash signature. The certificate has been
83 updated to one that is SHA-256 signed. Fix contributed by
85 * Return from various debugging routines immediately if the
86 provided SSL context is unset.
87 * Remove dead code from bignum.c in the default configuration.
88 Found by Coverity, reported and fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin). Fixes #2309.
89 * Add test for minimal value of MBEDTLS_MPI_WINDOW_SIZE to all.sh.
90 Contributed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin).
91 * Change wording in the `mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_frag_len()`'s documentation to
92 improve clarity. Fixes #2258.
94 = mbed TLS 2.17.0 branch released 2019-03-19
97 * Add a new X.509 API call `mbedtls_x509_parse_der_nocopy()`
98 which allows copy-less parsing of DER encoded X.509 CRTs,
99 at the cost of additional lifetime constraints on the input
100 buffer, but at the benefit of reduced RAM consumption.
101 * Add a new function mbedtls_asn1_write_named_bitstring() to write ASN.1
102 named bitstring in DER as required by RFC 5280 Appendix B.
103 * Add MBEDTLS_REMOVE_3DES_CIPHERSUITES to allow removing 3DES ciphersuites
104 from the default list (enabled by default). See
105 https://sweet32.info/SWEET32_CCS16.pdf.
108 * Add a new X.509 API call `mbedtls_x509_parse_der_nocopy()`.
109 See the Features section for more information.
110 * Allow to opt in to the removal the API mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()
111 for the benefit of saving RAM, by disabling the new compile-time
112 option MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE (enabled by default for
113 API stability). Disabling this option makes mbedtls_ssl_get_peer_cert()
114 always return NULL, and removes the peer_cert field from the
115 mbedtls_ssl_session structure which otherwise stores the peer's
119 * Make mbedtls_ecdh_get_params return an error if the second key
120 belongs to a different group from the first. Before, if an application
121 passed keys that belonged to different group, the first key's data was
122 interpreted according to the second group, which could lead to either
123 an error or a meaningless output from mbedtls_ecdh_get_params. In the
124 latter case, this could expose at most 5 bits of the private key.
127 * Fix a compilation issue with mbedtls_ecp_restart_ctx not being defined
128 when MBEDTLS_ECP_ALT is defined. Reported by jwhui. Fixes #2242.
129 * Run the AD too long test only if MBEDTLS_CCM_ALT is not defined.
130 Raised as a comment in #1996.
131 * Reduce the stack consumption of mbedtls_mpi_fill_random() which could
132 previously lead to a stack overflow on constrained targets.
133 * Add `MBEDTLS_SELF_TEST` for the mbedtls_self_test functions
134 in the header files, which missed the precompilation check. #971
135 * Fix returning the value 1 when mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey failed.
136 * Remove a duplicate #include in a sample program. Fixed by Masashi Honma #2326.
137 * Remove the mbedtls namespacing from the header file, to fix a "file not found"
138 build error. Fixed by Haijun Gu #2319.
139 * Fix signed-to-unsigned integer conversion warning
140 in X.509 module. Fixes #2212.
141 * Reduce stack usage of `mpi_write_hlp()` by eliminating recursion.
143 * Fix false failure in all.sh when backup files exist in include/mbedtls
144 (e.g. config.h.bak). Fixed by Peter Kolbus (Garmin) #2407.
145 * Ensure that unused bits are zero when writing ASN.1 bitstrings when using
146 mbedtls_asn1_write_bitstring().
147 * Fix issue when writing the named bitstrings in KeyUsage and NsCertType
148 extensions in CSRs and CRTs that caused these bitstrings to not be encoded
149 correctly as trailing zeroes were not accounted for as unused bits in the
150 leading content octet. Fixes #1610.
153 * Reduce RAM consumption during session renegotiation by not storing
154 the peer CRT chain and session ticket twice.
155 * Include configuration file in all header files that use configuration,
156 instead of relying on other header files that they include.
157 Inserted as an enhancement for #1371
158 * Add support for alternative CSR headers, as used by Microsoft and defined
159 in RFC 7468. Found by Michael Ernst. Fixes #767.
160 * Correct many misspellings. Fixed by MisterDA #2371.
161 * Provide an abstraction of vsnprintf to allow alternative implementations
162 for platforms that don't provide it. Based on contributions by Joris Aerts
163 and Nathaniel Wesley Filardo.
164 * Fix clobber list in MIPS assembly for large integer multiplication.
165 Previously, this could lead to functionally incorrect assembly being
166 produced by some optimizing compilers, showing up as failures in
167 e.g. RSA or ECC signature operations. Reported in #1722, fix suggested
168 by Aurelien Jarno and submitted by Jeffrey Martin.
169 * Reduce the complexity of the timing tests. They were assuming more than the
170 underlying OS actually guarantees.
171 * Fix configuration queries in ssl-opt.h. #2030
172 * Ensure that ssl-opt.h can be run in OS X. #2029
173 * Re-enable certain interoperability tests in ssl-opt.sh which had previously
174 been disabled for lack of a sufficiently recent version of GnuTLS on the CI.
175 * Ciphersuites based on 3DES now have the lowest priority by default when
178 = mbed TLS 2.16.0 branch released 2018-12-21
181 * Add a new config.h option of MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS that enables validation
182 of parameters in the API. This allows detection of obvious misuses of the
183 API, such as passing NULL pointers. The API of existing functions hasn't
184 changed, but requirements on parameters have been made more explicit in
185 the documentation. See the corresponding API documentation for each
186 function to see for which parameter values it is defined. This feature is
187 disabled by default. See its API documentation in config.h for additional
188 steps you have to take when enabling it.
191 * The following functions in the random generator modules have been
192 deprecated and replaced as shown below. The new functions change
193 the return type from void to int to allow returning error codes when
194 using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT for the underlying AES or message digest
195 primitive. Fixes #1798.
196 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update() -> mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret()
197 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update() -> mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update_ret()
198 * Extend ECDH interface to enable alternative implementations.
199 * Deprecate error codes of the form MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx_INVALID_KEY_LENGTH for
200 ARIA, CAMELLIA and Blowfish. These error codes will be replaced by
201 the more generic per-module error codes MBEDTLS_ERR_xxx_BAD_INPUT_DATA.
202 * Additional parameter validation checks have been added for the following
203 modules - AES, ARIA, Blowfish, CAMELLIA, CCM, GCM, DHM, ECP, ECDSA, ECDH,
204 ECJPAKE, SHA, Chacha20 and Poly1305, cipher, pk, RSA, and MPI.
205 Where modules have had parameter validation added, existing parameter
206 checks may have changed. Some modules, such as Chacha20 had existing
207 parameter validation whereas other modules had little. This has now been
208 changed so that the same level of validation is present in all modules, and
209 that it is now optional with the MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS flag which by default
210 is off. That means that checks which were previously present by default
214 * Deprecate mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update
215 in favor of functions that can return an error code.
218 * Fix for Clang, which was reporting a warning for the bignum.c inline
219 assembly for AMD64 targets creating string literals greater than those
220 permitted by the ISO C99 standard. Found by Aaron Jones. Fixes #482.
221 * Fix runtime error in `mbedtls_platform_entropy_poll()` when run
222 through qemu user emulation. Reported and fix suggested by randombit
223 in #1212. Fixes #1212.
224 * Fix an unsafe bounds check when restoring an SSL session from a ticket.
225 This could lead to a buffer overflow, but only in case ticket authentication
226 was broken. Reported and fix suggested by Guido Vranken in #659.
227 * Add explicit integer to enumeration type casts to example program
228 programs/pkey/gen_key which previously led to compilation failure
229 on some toolchains. Reported by phoenixmcallister. Fixes #2170.
230 * Fix double initialization of ECC hardware that made some accelerators
232 * Clarify documentation of mbedtls_ssl_set_own_cert() regarding the absence
233 of check for certificate/key matching. Reported by Attila Molnar, #507.
235 = mbed TLS 2.15.1 branch released 2018-11-30
238 * Update the Mbed Crypto submodule to version 0.1.0b2.
240 = mbed TLS 2.15.0 branch released 2018-11-23
243 * Add an experimental build option, USE_CRYPTO_SUBMODULE, to enable use of
244 Mbed Crypto as the source of the cryptography implementation.
245 * Add an experimental configuration option, MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_C, to enable
246 the PSA Crypto API from Mbed Crypto when additionally used with the
247 USE_CRYPTO_SUBMODULE build option.
250 * Add unit tests for AES-GCM when called through mbedtls_cipher_auth_xxx()
251 from the cipher abstraction layer. Fixes #2198.
253 = mbed TLS 2.14.1 branch released 2018-11-30
256 * Fix timing variations and memory access variations in RSA PKCS#1 v1.5
257 decryption that could lead to a Bleichenbacher-style padding oracle
258 attack. In TLS, this affects servers that accept ciphersuites based on
259 RSA decryption (i.e. ciphersuites whose name contains RSA but not
260 (EC)DH(E)). Discovered by Eyal Ronen (Weizmann Institute), Robert Gillham
261 (University of Adelaide), Daniel Genkin (University of Michigan),
262 Adi Shamir (Weizmann Institute), David Wong (NCC Group), and Yuval Yarom
263 (University of Adelaide, Data61). The attack is described in more detail
264 in the paper available here: http://cat.eyalro.net/cat.pdf CVE-2018-19608
265 * In mbedtls_mpi_write_binary(), don't leak the exact size of the number
266 via branching and memory access patterns. An attacker who could submit
267 a plaintext for RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 decryption but only observe the timing
268 of the decryption and not its result could nonetheless decrypt RSA
269 plaintexts and forge RSA signatures. Other asymmetric algorithms may
270 have been similarly vulnerable. Reported by Eyal Ronen, Robert Gillham,
271 Daniel Genkin, Adi Shamir, David Wong and Yuval Yarom.
272 * Wipe sensitive buffers on the stack in the CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG
276 * The new functions mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret() and
277 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update_ret() are similar to mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update()
278 and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update() respectively, but the new functions
279 report errors whereas the old functions return void. We recommend that
280 applications use the new functions.
282 = mbed TLS 2.14.0 branch released 2018-11-19
285 * Fix overly strict DN comparison when looking for CRLs belonging to a
286 particular CA. This previously led to ignoring CRLs when the CRL's issuer
287 name and the CA's subject name differed in their string encoding (e.g.,
288 one using PrintableString and the other UTF8String) or in the choice of
289 upper and lower case. Reported by Henrik Andersson of Bosch GmbH in issue
291 * Fix a flawed bounds check in server PSK hint parsing. In case the
292 incoming message buffer was placed within the first 64KiB of address
293 space and a PSK-(EC)DHE ciphersuite was used, this allowed an attacker
294 to trigger a memory access up to 64KiB beyond the incoming message buffer,
295 potentially leading to an application crash or information disclosure.
296 * Fix mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() to use more rounds of probabilistic testing. The
297 previous settings for the number of rounds made it practical for an
298 adversary to construct non-primes that would be erroneously accepted as
299 primes with high probability. This does not have an impact on the
300 security of TLS, but can matter in other contexts with numbers chosen
301 potentially by an adversary that should be prime and can be validated.
302 For example, the number of rounds was enough to securely generate RSA key
303 pairs or Diffie-Hellman parameters, but was insufficient to validate
304 Diffie-Hellman parameters properly.
305 See "Prime and Prejudice" by by Martin R. Albrecht and Jake Massimo and
306 Kenneth G. Paterson and Juraj Somorovsky.
309 * Add support for temporarily suspending expensive ECC computations after
310 some configurable amount of operations. This is intended to be used in
311 constrained, single-threaded systems where ECC is time consuming and can
312 block other operations until they complete. This is disabled by default,
313 but can be enabled by MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE at compile time and
314 configured by mbedtls_ecp_set_max_ops() at runtime. It applies to the new
315 xxx_restartable functions in ECP, ECDSA, PK and X.509 (CRL not supported
316 yet), and to existing functions in ECDH and SSL (currently only
317 implemented client-side, for ECDHE-ECDSA ciphersuites in TLS 1.2,
318 including client authentication).
319 * Add support for Arm CPU DSP extensions to accelerate asymmetric key
320 operations. On CPUs where the extensions are available, they can accelerate
321 MPI multiplications used in ECC and RSA cryptography. Contributed by
323 * Extend RSASSA-PSS signature to allow a smaller salt size. Previously, PSS
324 signature always used a salt with the same length as the hash, and returned
325 an error if this was not possible. Now the salt size may be up to two bytes
326 shorter. This allows the library to support all hash and signature sizes
327 that comply with FIPS 186-4, including SHA-512 with a 1024-bit key.
328 * Add support for 128-bit keys in CTR_DRBG. Note that using keys shorter
329 than 256 bits limits the security of generated material to 128 bits.
332 * Add a common error code of `MBEDTLS_ERR_PLATFORM_FEATURE_UNSUPPORTED` for
333 a feature that is not supported by underlying alternative
334 implementations implementing cryptographic primitives. This is useful for
335 hardware accelerators that don't implement all options or features.
338 * All module specific errors following the form
339 MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE that indicate a feature is not
340 supported are deprecated and are now replaced by the new equivalent
342 * All module specific generic hardware acceleration errors following the
343 form MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED that are deprecated and are replaced
344 by the equivalent plaform error.
345 * Deprecate the function mbedtls_mpi_is_prime() in favor of
346 mbedtls_mpi_is_prime_ext() which allows specifying the number of
350 * Fix wrong order of freeing in programs/ssl/ssl_server2 example
351 application leading to a memory leak in case both
352 MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C and MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BACKTRACE are set.
354 * Fix a bug in the update function for SSL ticket keys which previously
355 invalidated keys of a lifetime of less than a 1s. Fixes #1968.
356 * Fix failure in hmac_drbg in the benchmark sample application, when
357 MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is defined. Found by TrinityTonic, #1095
358 * Fix a bug in the record decryption routine ssl_decrypt_buf()
359 which lead to accepting properly authenticated but improperly
360 padded records in case of CBC ciphersuites using Encrypt-then-MAC.
361 * Fix memory leak and freeing without initialization in the example
362 program programs/x509/cert_write. Fixes #1422.
363 * Ignore IV in mbedtls_cipher_set_iv() when the cipher mode is
364 MBEDTLS_MODE_ECB. Found by ezdevelop. Fixes #1091.
365 * Zeroize memory used for buffering or reassembling handshake messages
367 * Use `mbedtls_platform_zeroize()` instead of `memset()` for zeroization
368 of sensitive data in the example programs aescrypt2 and crypt_and_hash.
369 * Change the default string format used for various X.509 DN attributes to
370 UTF8String. Previously, the use of the PrintableString format led to
371 wildcards and non-ASCII characters being unusable in some DN attributes.
372 Reported by raprepo in #1860 and by kevinpt in #468. Fix contributed by
374 * Fix compilation failure for configurations which use compile time
375 replacements of standard calloc/free functions through the macros
376 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_CALLOC_MACRO and MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_FREE_MACRO.
377 Reported by ole-de and ddhome2006. Fixes #882, #1642 and #1706.
380 * Removed support for Yotta as a build tool.
381 * Add tests for session resumption in DTLS.
382 * Close a test gap in (D)TLS between the client side and the server side:
383 test the handling of large packets and small packets on the client side
384 in the same way as on the server side.
385 * Change the dtls_client and dtls_server samples to work by default over
386 IPv6 and optionally by a build option over IPv4.
387 * Change the use of Windows threading to use Microsoft Visual C++ runtime
388 calls, rather than Win32 API calls directly. This is necessary to avoid
389 conflict with C runtime usage. Found and fixed by irwir.
390 * Remember the string format of X.509 DN attributes when replicating
391 X.509 DNs. Previously, DN attributes were always written in their default
392 string format (mostly PrintableString), which could lead to CRTs being
393 created which used PrintableStrings in the issuer field even though the
394 signing CA used UTF8Strings in its subject field; while X.509 compliant,
395 such CRTs were rejected in some applications, e.g. some versions of
396 Firefox, curl and GnuTLS. Reported in #1033 by Moschn. Fix contributed by
398 * Improve documentation of mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result().
399 Fixes #517 reported by github-monoculture.
400 * Add MBEDTLS_MPI_GEN_PRIME_FLAG_LOW_ERR flag to mbedtls_mpi_gen_prime() and
401 use it to reduce error probability in RSA key generation to levels mandated
404 = mbed TLS 2.13.1 branch released 2018-09-06
407 * Extend the platform module with an abstraction mbedtls_platform_gmtime_r()
408 whose implementation should behave as a thread-safe version of gmtime().
409 This allows users to configure such an implementation at compile time when
410 the target system cannot be deduced automatically, by setting the option
411 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_GMTIME_R_ALT. At this stage Mbed TLS is only able to
412 automatically select implementations for Windows and POSIX C libraries.
415 * Fix build failures on platforms where only gmtime() is available but
416 neither gmtime_r() nor gmtime_s() are present. Fixes #1907.
418 = mbed TLS 2.13.0 branch released 2018-08-31
421 * Fix an issue in the X.509 module which could lead to a buffer overread
422 during certificate extensions parsing. In case of receiving malformed
423 input (extensions length field equal to 0), an illegal read of one byte
424 beyond the input buffer is made. Found and analyzed by Nathan Crandall.
427 * Add support for fragmentation of outgoing DTLS handshake messages. This
428 is controlled by the maximum fragment length as set locally or negotiated
429 with the peer, as well as by a new per-connection MTU option, set using
430 mbedtls_ssl_set_mtu().
431 * Add support for auto-adjustment of MTU to a safe value during the
432 handshake when flights do not get through (RFC 6347, section 4.1.1.1,
434 * Add support for packing multiple records within a single datagram,
436 * Add support for buffering out-of-order handshake messages in DTLS.
437 The maximum amount of RAM used for this can be controlled by the
438 compile-time constant MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_MAX_BUFFERING defined
442 * Add function mbedtls_ssl_set_datagram_packing() to configure
443 the use of datagram packing (enabled by default).
446 * Fix a potential memory leak in mbedtls_ssl_setup() function. An allocation
447 failure in the function could lead to other buffers being leaked.
448 * Fixes an issue with MBEDTLS_CHACHAPOLY_C which would not compile if
449 MBEDTLS_ARC4_C and MBEDTLS_CIPHER_NULL_CIPHER weren't also defined. #1890
450 * Fix a memory leak in ecp_mul_comb() if ecp_precompute_comb() fails.
451 Fix contributed by Espressif Systems.
452 * Add ecc extensions only if an ecc based ciphersuite is used.
453 This improves compliance to RFC 4492, and as a result, solves
454 interoperability issues with BouncyCastle. Raised by milenamil in #1157.
455 * Replace printf with mbedtls_printf in the ARIA module. Found by
456 TrinityTonic in #1908.
457 * Fix potential use-after-free in mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len()
458 and mbedtls_ssl_get_record_expansion() after a session reset. Fixes #1941.
459 * Fix a bug that caused SSL/TLS clients to incorrectly abort the handshake
460 with TLS versions 1.1 and earlier when the server requested authentication
461 without providing a list of CAs. This was due to an overly strict bounds
462 check in parsing the CertificateRequest message,
463 introduced in Mbed TLS 2.12.0. Fixes #1954.
464 * Fix a miscalculation of the maximum record expansion in
465 mbedtls_ssl_get_record_expansion() in case of ChachaPoly ciphersuites,
466 or CBC ciphersuites in (D)TLS versions 1.1 or higher. Fixes #1913, #1914.
467 * Fix undefined shifts with negative values in certificates parsing
468 (found by Catena cyber using oss-fuzz)
469 * Fix memory leak and free without initialization in pk_encrypt
470 and pk_decrypt example programs. Reported by Brace Stout. Fixes #1128.
471 * Remove redundant else statement. Raised by irwir. Fixes #1776.
474 * Copy headers preserving timestamps when doing a "make install".
475 Contributed by xueruini.
476 * Allow the forward declaration of public structs. Contributed by Dawid
477 Drozd. Fixes #1215 raised by randombit.
478 * Improve compatibility with some alternative CCM implementations by using
479 CCM test vectors from RAM.
480 * Add support for buffering of out-of-order handshake messages.
481 * Add warnings to the documentation of the HKDF module to reduce the risk
482 of misusing the mbedtls_hkdf_extract() and mbedtls_hkdf_expand()
483 functions. Fixes #1775. Reported by Brian J. Murray.
485 = mbed TLS 2.12.0 branch released 2018-07-25
488 * Fix a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based on CBC and using SHA-384,
489 in (D)TLS 1.0 to 1.2, that allowed an active network attacker to
490 partially recover the plaintext of messages under some conditions by
491 exploiting timing measurements. With DTLS, the attacker could perform
492 this recovery by sending many messages in the same connection. With TLS
493 or if mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only
494 worked if the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly
495 sent over connections manipulated by the attacker. Connections using GCM
496 or CCM instead of CBC, using hash sizes other than SHA-384, or using
497 Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected. The vulnerability was
498 caused by a miscalculation (for SHA-384) in a countermeasure to the
499 original Lucky 13 attack. Found by Kenny Paterson, Eyal Ronen and Adi
501 * Fix a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based on CBC, in (D)TLS 1.0 to
502 1.2, that allowed a local attacker, able to execute code on the local
503 machine as well as manipulate network packets, to partially recover the
504 plaintext of messages under some conditions by using a cache attack
505 targeting an internal MD/SHA buffer. With TLS or if
506 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_badmac_limit() was used, the attack only worked if
507 the same secret (for example a HTTP Cookie) has been repeatedly sent over
508 connections manipulated by the attacker. Connections using GCM or CCM
509 instead of CBC or using Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected.
510 Found by Kenny Paterson, Eyal Ronen and Adi Shamir.
511 * Add a counter-measure against a vulnerability in TLS ciphersuites based
512 on CBC, in (D)TLS 1.0 to 1.2, that allowed a local attacker, able to
513 execute code on the local machine as well as manipulate network packets,
514 to partially recover the plaintext of messages under some conditions (see
515 previous entry) by using a cache attack targeting the SSL input record
516 buffer. Connections using GCM or CCM instead of CBC or using
517 Encrypt-then-Mac (RFC 7366) were not affected. Found by Kenny Paterson,
518 Eyal Ronen and Adi Shamir.
521 * Add new crypto primitives from RFC 7539: stream cipher Chacha20, one-time
522 authenticator Poly1305 and AEAD construct Chacha20-Poly1305. Contributed
524 * Add support for CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites from RFC 7905.
525 * Add platform support for the Haiku OS. (https://www.haiku-os.org).
526 Contributed by Augustin Cavalier.
527 * Make the receive and transmit buffers independent sizes, for situations
528 where the outgoing buffer can be fixed at a smaller size than the incoming
529 buffer, which can save some RAM. If buffer lengths are kept equal, there
530 is no functional difference. Contributed by Angus Gratton, and also
531 independently contributed again by Paul Sokolovsky.
532 * Add support for key wrapping modes based on AES as defined by
533 NIST SP 800-38F algorithms KW and KWP and by RFC 3394 and RFC 5649.
536 * Fix the key_app_writer example which was writing a leading zero byte which
537 was creating an invalid ASN.1 tag. Found by Aryeh R. Fixes #1257.
538 * Fix compilation error on C++, because of a variable named new.
539 Found and fixed by Hirotaka Niisato in #1783.
540 * Fix "no symbols" warning issued by ranlib when building on Mac OS X. Fix
541 contributed by tabascoeye.
542 * Clarify documentation for mbedtls_ssl_write() to include 0 as a valid
543 return value. Found by @davidwu2000. #839
544 * Fix a memory leak in mbedtls_x509_csr_parse(), found by catenacyber,
545 Philippe Antoine. Fixes #1623.
546 * Remove unused headers included in x509.c. Found by Chris Hanson and fixed
547 by Brendan Shanks. Part of a fix for #992.
548 * Fix compilation error when MBEDTLS_ARC4_C is disabled and
549 MBEDTLS_CIPHER_NULL_CIPHER is enabled. Found by TrinityTonic in #1719.
550 * Added length checks to some TLS parsing functions. Found and fixed by
551 Philippe Antoine from Catena cyber. #1663.
552 * Fix the inline assembly for the MPI multiply helper function for i386 and
553 i386 with SSE2. Found by László Langó. Fixes #1550
554 * Fix namespacing in header files. Remove the `mbedtls` namespacing in
555 the `#include` in the header files. Resolves #857
556 * Fix compiler warning of 'use before initialisation' in
557 mbedtls_pk_parse_key(). Found by Martin Boye Petersen and fixed by Dawid
559 * Fix decryption for zero length messages (which contain all padding) when a
560 CBC based ciphersuite is used together with Encrypt-then-MAC. Previously,
561 such a message was wrongly reported as an invalid record and therefore lead
562 to the connection being terminated. Seen most often with OpenSSL using
563 TLS 1.0. Reported by @kFYatek and by Conor Murphy on the forum. Fix
564 contributed by Espressif Systems. Fixes #1632
565 * Fix ssl_client2 example to send application data with 0-length content
566 when the request_size argument is set to 0 as stated in the documentation.
568 * Correct the documentation for `mbedtls_ssl_get_session()`. This API has
569 deep copy of the session, and the peer certificate is not lost. Fixes #926.
570 * Fix build using -std=c99. Fixed by Nick Wilson.
573 * Fail when receiving a TLS alert message with an invalid length, or invalid
574 zero-length messages when using TLS 1.2. Contributed by Espressif Systems.
575 * Change the default behaviour of mbedtls_hkdf_extract() to return an error
576 when calling with a NULL salt and non-zero salt_len. Contributed by
578 * Change the shebang line in Perl scripts to look up perl in the PATH.
579 Contributed by fbrosson.
580 * Allow overriding the time on Windows via the platform-time abstraction.
581 Fixed by Nick Wilson.
582 * Use gmtime_r/gmtime_s for thread-safety. Fixed by Nick Wilson.
584 = mbed TLS 2.11.0 branch released 2018-06-18
587 * Add additional block mode, OFB (Output Feedback), to the AES module and
588 cipher abstraction module.
589 * Implement the HMAC-based extract-and-expand key derivation function
590 (HKDF) per RFC 5869. Contributed by Thomas Fossati.
591 * Add support for the CCM* block cipher mode as defined in IEEE Std. 802.15.4.
592 * Add support for the XTS block cipher mode with AES (AES-XTS).
593 Contributed by Aorimn in pull request #414.
594 * In TLS servers, support offloading private key operations to an external
595 cryptoprocessor. Private key operations can be asynchronous to allow
596 non-blocking operation of the TLS server stack.
599 * Fix the cert_write example to handle certificates signed with elliptic
600 curves as well as RSA. Fixes #777 found by dbedev.
601 * Fix for redefinition of _WIN32_WINNT to avoid overriding a definition
602 used by user applications. Found and fixed by Fabio Alessandrelli.
603 * Fix compilation warnings with IAR toolchain, on 32 bit platform.
604 Reported by rahmanih in #683
605 * Fix braces in mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_status(). Found by sbranden, #552.
608 * Changed CMake defaults for IAR to treat all compiler warnings as errors.
609 * Changed the Clang parameters used in the CMake build files to work for
610 versions later than 3.6. Versions of Clang earlier than this may no longer
613 = mbed TLS 2.10.0 branch released 2018-06-06
616 * Add support for ARIA cipher (RFC 5794) and associated TLS ciphersuites
617 (RFC 6209). Disabled by default, see MBEDTLS_ARIA_C in config.h
620 * Extend the platform module with a util component that contains
621 functionality shared by multiple Mbed TLS modules. At this stage
622 platform_util.h (and its associated platform_util.c) only contain
623 mbedtls_platform_zeroize(), which is a critical function from a security
624 point of view. mbedtls_platform_zeroize() needs to be regularly tested
625 against compilers to ensure that calls to it are not removed from the
626 output binary as part of redundant code elimination optimizations.
627 Therefore, mbedtls_platform_zeroize() is moved to the platform module to
628 facilitate testing and maintenance.
631 * Fix an issue with MicroBlaze support in bn_mul.h which was causing the
632 build to fail. Found by zv-io. Fixes #1651.
635 * Support TLS testing in out-of-source builds using cmake. Fixes #1193.
636 * Fix redundant declaration of mbedtls_ssl_list_ciphersuites. Raised by
639 = mbed TLS 2.9.0 branch released 2018-04-30
642 * Fix an issue in the X.509 module which could lead to a buffer overread
643 during certificate validation. Additionally, the issue could also lead to
644 unnecessary callback checks being made or to some validation checks to be
645 omitted. The overread could be triggered remotely, while the other issues
646 would require a non DER-compliant certificate to be correctly signed by a
647 trusted CA, or a trusted CA with a non DER-compliant certificate. Found by
649 * Fix the buffer length assertion in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
650 function which led to an arbitrary overread of the message buffer. The
651 overreads could be caused by receiving a malformed message at the point
652 where an optional signature algorithms list is expected when the signature
653 algorithms section is too short. In builds with debug output, the overread
654 data is output with the debug data.
655 * Fix a client-side bug in the validation of the server's ciphersuite choice
656 which could potentially lead to the client accepting a ciphersuite it didn't
657 offer or a ciphersuite that cannot be used with the TLS or DTLS version
658 chosen by the server. This could lead to corruption of internal data
659 structures for some configurations.
662 * Add an option, MBEDTLS_AES_FEWER_TABLES, to dynamically compute smaller AES
663 tables during runtime, thereby reducing the RAM/ROM footprint by ~6KiB.
664 Suggested and contributed by jkivilin in pull request #394.
665 * Add initial support for Curve448 (RFC 7748). Only mbedtls_ecp_mul() and
666 ECDH primitive functions (mbedtls_ecdh_gen_public(),
667 mbedtls_ecdh_compute_shared()) are supported for now. Contributed by
668 Nicholas Wilson in pull request #348.
671 * Extend the public API with the function of mbedtls_net_poll() to allow user
672 applications to wait for a network context to become ready before reading
674 * Add function mbedtls_ssl_check_pending() to the public API to allow
675 a check for whether more more data is pending to be processed in the
676 internal message buffers.
677 This function is necessary to determine when it is safe to idle on the
678 underlying transport in case event-driven IO is used.
681 * Fix a spurious uninitialized variable warning in cmac.c. Fix independently
682 contributed by Brian J Murray and David Brown.
683 * Add missing dependencies in test suites that led to build failures
684 in configurations that omit certain hashes or public-key algorithms.
686 * Fix C89 incompatibility in benchmark.c. Contributed by Brendan Shanks.
688 * Add missing dependencies for MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE and
689 MBEDTLS_VERSION_FEATURES in some test suites. Contributed by
690 Deomid Ryabkov. Fixes #1299, #1475.
691 * Fix the Makefile build process for building shared libraries on Mac OS X.
693 * Fix parsing of PKCS#8 encoded Elliptic Curve keys. Previously Mbed TLS was
694 unable to parse keys which had only the optional parameters field of the
695 ECPrivateKey structure. Found by Jethro Beekman, fixed in #1379.
696 * Return the plaintext data more quickly on unpadded CBC decryption, as
697 stated in the mbedtls_cipher_update() documentation. Contributed by
699 * Fix overriding and ignoring return values when parsing and writing to
700 a file in pk_sign program. Found by kevlut in #1142.
701 * Restrict usage of error code MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_READ to situations
702 where data needs to be fetched from the underlying transport in order
703 to make progress. Previously, this error code was also occasionally
704 returned when unexpected messages were being discarded, ignoring that
705 further messages could potentially already be pending to be processed
706 in the internal buffers; these cases led to deadlocks when event-driven
707 I/O was used. Found and reported by Hubert Mis in #772.
708 * Fix buffer length assertions in the ssl_parse_certificate_request()
709 function which leads to a potential one byte overread of the message
711 * Fix invalid buffer sizes passed to zlib during record compression and
713 * Fix the soversion of libmbedcrypto to match the soversion of the
714 maintained 2.7 branch. The soversion was increased in Mbed TLS
715 version 2.7.1 to reflect breaking changes in that release, but the
716 increment was missed in 2.8.0 and later releases outside of the 2.7 branch.
719 * Remove some redundant code in bignum.c. Contributed by Alexey Skalozub.
720 * Support cmake builds where Mbed TLS is a subproject. Fix contributed
721 independently by Matthieu Volat and Arne Schwabe.
722 * Improve testing in configurations that omit certain hashes or
723 public-key algorithms. Includes contributions by Gert van Dijk.
724 * Improve negative testing of X.509 parsing.
725 * Do not define global mutexes around readdir() and gmtime() in
726 configurations where the feature is disabled. Found and fixed by Gergely
728 * Harden the function mbedtls_ssl_config_free() against misuse, so that it
729 doesn't leak memory if the user doesn't use mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk() and
730 instead incorrectly manipulates the configuration structure directly.
731 Found and fix submitted by junyeonLEE in #1220.
732 * Provide an empty implementation of mbedtls_pkcs5_pbes2() when
733 MBEDTLS_ASN1_PARSE_C is not enabled. This allows the use of PBKDF2
734 without PBES2. Fixed by Marcos Del Sol Vives.
735 * Add the order of the base point as N in the mbedtls_ecp_group structure
736 for Curve25519 (other curves had it already). Contributed by Nicholas
738 * Improve the documentation of mbedtls_net_accept(). Contributed by Ivan
740 * Improve the documentation of mbedtls_ssl_write(). Suggested by
741 Paul Sokolovsky in #1356.
742 * Add an option in the Makefile to support ar utilities where the operation
743 letter must not be prefixed by '-', such as LLVM. Found and fixed by
745 * Allow configuring the shared library extension by setting the DLEXT
746 environment variable when using the project makefiles.
747 * Optimize unnecessary zeroing in mbedtls_mpi_copy. Based on a contribution
748 by Alexey Skalozub in #405.
749 * In the SSL module, when f_send, f_recv or f_recv_timeout report
750 transmitting more than the required length, return an error. Raised by
751 Sam O'Connor in #1245.
752 * Improve robustness of mbedtls_ssl_derive_keys against the use of
753 HMAC functions with non-HMAC ciphersuites. Independently contributed
754 by Jiayuan Chen in #1377. Fixes #1437.
755 * Improve security of RSA key generation by including criteria from
756 FIPS 186-4. Contributed by Jethro Beekman. #1380
757 * Declare functions in header files even when an alternative implementation
758 of the corresponding module is activated by defining the corresponding
759 MBEDTLS_XXX_ALT macro. This means that alternative implementations do
760 not need to copy the declarations, and ensures that they will have the
762 * Add platform setup and teardown calls in test suites.
764 = mbed TLS 2.8.0 branch released 2018-03-16
766 Default behavior changes
767 * The truncated HMAC extension now conforms to RFC 6066. This means
768 that when both sides of a TLS connection negotiate the truncated
769 HMAC extension, Mbed TLS can now interoperate with other
770 compliant implementations, but this breaks interoperability with
771 prior versions of Mbed TLS. To restore the old behavior, enable
772 the (deprecated) option MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC_COMPAT in
773 config.h. Found by Andreas Walz (ivESK, Offenburg University of
777 * Fix implementation of the truncated HMAC extension. The previous
778 implementation allowed an offline 2^80 brute force attack on the
779 HMAC key of a single, uninterrupted connection (with no
780 resumption of the session).
781 * Verify results of RSA private key operations to defend
782 against Bellcore glitch attack.
783 * Fix a buffer overread in ssl_parse_server_key_exchange() that could cause
784 a crash on invalid input.
785 * Fix a buffer overread in ssl_parse_server_psk_hint() that could cause a
786 crash on invalid input.
787 * Fix CRL parsing to reject CRLs containing unsupported critical
788 extensions. Found by Falko Strenzke and Evangelos Karatsiolis.
791 * Extend PKCS#8 interface by introducing support for the entire SHA
792 algorithms family when encrypting private keys using PKCS#5 v2.0.
793 This allows reading encrypted PEM files produced by software that
794 uses PBKDF2-SHA2, such as OpenSSL 1.1. Submitted by Antonio Quartulli,
795 OpenVPN Inc. Fixes #1339
796 * Add support for public keys encoded in PKCS#1 format. #1122
799 * Deprecate support for record compression (configuration option
800 MBEDTLS_ZLIB_SUPPORT).
803 * Fix the name of a DHE parameter that was accidentally changed in 2.7.0.
805 * Fix test_suite_pk to work on 64-bit ILP32 systems. #849
806 * Fix mbedtls_x509_crt_profile_suiteb, which used to reject all certificates
807 with flag MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_BAD_PK even when the key type was correct.
808 In the context of SSL, this resulted in handshake failure. Reported by
809 daniel in the Mbed TLS forum. #1351
810 * Fix Windows x64 builds with the included mbedTLS.sln file. #1347
811 * Fix setting version TLSv1 as minimal version, even if TLS 1
812 is not enabled. Set MBEDTLS_SSL_MIN_MAJOR_VERSION
813 and MBEDTLS_SSL_MIN_MINOR_VERSION instead of
814 MBEDTLS_SSL_MAJOR_VERSION_3 and MBEDTLS_SSL_MINOR_VERSION_1. #664
815 * Fix compilation error on Mingw32 when _TRUNCATE is defined. Use _TRUNCATE
816 only if __MINGW32__ not defined. Fix suggested by Thomas Glanzmann and
817 Nick Wilson on issue #355
818 * In test_suite_pk, pass valid parameters when testing for hash length
820 * Fix memory allocation corner cases in memory_buffer_alloc.c module. Found
821 by Guido Vranken. #639
822 * Log correct number of ciphersuites used in Client Hello message. #918
823 * Fix X509 CRT parsing that would potentially accept an invalid tag when
824 parsing the subject alternative names.
825 * Fix a possible arithmetic overflow in ssl_parse_server_key_exchange()
826 that could cause a key exchange to fail on valid data.
827 * Fix a possible arithmetic overflow in ssl_parse_server_psk_hint() that
828 could cause a key exchange to fail on valid data.
829 * Don't define mbedtls_aes_decrypt and mbedtls_aes_encrypt under
830 MBEDTLS_DEPRECATED_REMOVED. #1388
831 * Fix a 1-byte heap buffer overflow (read-only) during private key parsing.
832 Found through fuzz testing.
835 * Fix tag lengths and value ranges in the documentation of CCM encryption.
836 Contributed by Mathieu Briand.
837 * Fix typo in a comment ctr_drbg.c. Contributed by Paul Sokolovsky.
838 * Remove support for the library reference configuration for picocoin.
839 * MD functions deprecated in 2.7.0 are no longer inline, to provide
840 a migration path for those depending on the library's ABI.
841 * Clarify the documentation of mbedtls_ssl_setup.
842 * Use (void) when defining functions with no parameters. Contributed by
845 = mbed TLS 2.7.0 branch released 2018-02-03
848 * Fix a heap corruption issue in the implementation of the truncated HMAC
849 extension. When the truncated HMAC extension is enabled and CBC is used,
850 sending a malicious application packet could be used to selectively corrupt
851 6 bytes on the peer's heap, which could potentially lead to crash or remote
852 code execution. The issue could be triggered remotely from either side in
853 both TLS and DTLS. CVE-2018-0488
854 * Fix a buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the hash was too large
855 for the key size, which could potentially lead to crash or remote code
856 execution. Found by Seth Terashima, Qualcomm Product Security Initiative,
857 Qualcomm Technologies Inc. CVE-2018-0487
858 * Fix buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the unmasked data is all
860 * Fix an unsafe bounds check in ssl_parse_client_psk_identity() when adding
861 64 KiB to the address of the SSL buffer and causing a wrap around.
862 * Fix a potential heap buffer overflow in mbedtls_ssl_write(). When the (by
863 default enabled) maximum fragment length extension is disabled in the
864 config and the application data buffer passed to mbedtls_ssl_write
865 is larger than the internal message buffer (16384 bytes by default), the
866 latter overflows. The exploitability of this issue depends on whether the
867 application layer can be forced into sending such large packets. The issue
868 was independently reported by Tim Nordell via e-mail and by Florin Petriuc
869 and sjorsdewit on GitHub. Fix proposed by Florin Petriuc in #1022.
871 * Add a provision to prevent compiler optimizations breaking the time
872 constancy of mbedtls_ssl_safer_memcmp().
873 * Ensure that buffers are cleared after use if they contain sensitive data.
874 Changes were introduced in multiple places in the library.
875 * Set PEM buffer to zero before freeing it, to avoid decoded private keys
876 being leaked to memory after release.
877 * Fix dhm_check_range() failing to detect trivial subgroups and potentially
878 leaking 1 bit of the private key. Reported by prashantkspatil.
879 * Make mbedtls_mpi_read_binary() constant-time with respect to the input
880 data. Previously, trailing zero bytes were detected and omitted for the
881 sake of saving memory, but potentially leading to slight timing
882 differences. Reported by Marco Macchetti, Kudelski Group.
883 * Wipe stack buffer temporarily holding EC private exponent
884 after keypair generation.
885 * Fix a potential heap buffer over-read in ALPN extension parsing
886 (server-side). Could result in application crash, but only if an ALPN
887 name larger than 16 bytes had been configured on the server.
888 * Change default choice of DHE parameters from untrustworthy RFC 5114
889 to RFC 3526 containing parameters generated in a nothing-up-my-sleeve
893 * Allow comments in test data files.
894 * The selftest program can execute a subset of the tests based on command
896 * New unit tests for timing. Improve the self-test to be more robust
897 when run on a heavily-loaded machine.
898 * Add alternative implementation support for CCM and CMAC (MBEDTLS_CCM_ALT,
899 MBEDTLS_CMAC_ALT). Submitted by Steven Cooreman, Silicon Labs.
900 * Add support for alternative implementations of GCM, selected by the
901 configuration flag MBEDTLS_GCM_ALT.
902 * Add support for alternative implementations for ECDSA, controlled by new
903 configuration flags MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT, MBEDTLS_ECDSA_VERIFY_ALT and
904 MBEDTLS_ECDSDA_GENKEY_AT in config.h.
905 The following functions from the ECDSA module can be replaced
906 with alternative implementation:
907 mbedtls_ecdsa_sign(), mbedtls_ecdsa_verify() and mbedtls_ecdsa_genkey().
908 * Add support for alternative implementation of ECDH, controlled by the
909 new configuration flags MBEDTLS_ECDH_COMPUTE_SHARED_ALT and
910 MBEDTLS_ECDH_GEN_PUBLIC_ALT in config.h.
911 The following functions from the ECDH module can be replaced
912 with an alternative implementation:
913 mbedtls_ecdh_gen_public() and mbedtls_ecdh_compute_shared().
914 * Add support for alternative implementation of ECJPAKE, controlled by
915 the new configuration flag MBEDTLS_ECJPAKE_ALT.
916 * Add mechanism to provide alternative implementation of the DHM module.
919 * Extend RSA interface by multiple functions allowing structure-
920 independent setup and export of RSA contexts. Most notably,
921 mbedtls_rsa_import() and mbedtls_rsa_complete() are introduced for setting
922 up RSA contexts from partial key material and having them completed to the
923 needs of the implementation automatically. This allows to setup private RSA
924 contexts from keys consisting of N,D,E only, even if P,Q are needed for the
925 purpose or CRT and/or blinding.
926 * The configuration option MBEDTLS_RSA_ALT can be used to define alternative
927 implementations of the RSA interface declared in rsa.h.
928 * The following functions in the message digest modules (MD2, MD4, MD5,
929 SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) have been deprecated and replaced as shown below.
930 The new functions change the return type from void to int to allow
931 returning error codes when using MBEDTLS_<MODULE>_ALT.
932 mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts_ret()
933 mbedtls_<MODULE>_update() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_update_ret()
934 mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish() -> mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish_ret()
935 mbedtls_<MODULE>_process() -> mbedtls_internal_<MODULE>_process()
938 * Deprecate usage of RSA primitives with non-matching key-type
939 (e.g. signing with a public key).
940 * Direct manipulation of structure fields of RSA contexts is deprecated.
941 Users are advised to use the extended RSA API instead.
942 * Deprecate usage of message digest functions that return void
943 (mbedtls_<MODULE>_starts, mbedtls_<MODULE>_update,
944 mbedtls_<MODULE>_finish and mbedtls_<MODULE>_process where <MODULE> is
945 any of MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) in favor of functions
946 that can return an error code.
947 * Deprecate untrustworthy DHE parameters from RFC 5114. Superseded by
948 parameters from RFC 3526 or the newly added parameters from RFC 7919.
949 * Deprecate hex string DHE constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P etc.
950 Supserseded by binary encoded constants MBEDTLS_DHM_RFC3526_MODP_2048_P_BIN
952 * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param() for setting default DHE parameters
953 from hex strings. Superseded by mbedtls_ssl_conf_dh_param_bin()
954 accepting DHM parameters in binary form, matching the new constants.
957 * Fix ssl_parse_record_header() to silently discard invalid DTLS records
958 as recommended in RFC 6347 Section 4.1.2.7.
959 * Fix memory leak in mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname() when called multiple times.
960 Found by projectgus and Jethro Beekman, #836.
961 * Fix usage help in ssl_server2 example. Found and fixed by Bei Lin.
962 * Parse signature algorithm extension when renegotiating. Previously,
963 renegotiated handshakes would only accept signatures using SHA-1
964 regardless of the peer's preferences, or fail if SHA-1 was disabled.
965 * Fix leap year calculation in x509_date_is_valid() to ensure that invalid
966 dates on leap years with 100 and 400 intervals are handled correctly. Found
967 by Nicholas Wilson. #694
968 * Fix some invalid RSA-PSS signatures with keys of size 8N+1 that were
969 accepted. Generating these signatures required the private key.
970 * Fix out-of-memory problem when parsing 4096-bit PKCS8-encrypted RSA keys.
971 Found independently by Florian in the mbed TLS forum and by Mishamax.
973 * Fix variable used before assignment compilation warnings with IAR
974 toolchain. Found by gkerrien38.
975 * Fix unchecked return codes from AES, DES and 3DES functions in
976 pem_aes_decrypt(), pem_des_decrypt() and pem_des3_decrypt() respectively.
977 If a call to one of the functions of the cryptographic primitive modules
978 failed, the error may not be noticed by the function
979 mbedtls_pem_read_buffer() causing it to return invalid values. Found by
981 * Include configuration file in md.h, to fix compilation warnings.
982 Reported by aaronmdjones in #1001
983 * Correct extraction of signature-type from PK instance in X.509 CRT and CSR
984 writing routines that prevented these functions to work with alternative
985 RSA implementations. Raised by J.B. in the Mbed TLS forum. Fixes #1011.
986 * Don't print X.509 version tag for v1 CRT's, and omit extensions for

993 * Add a check for invalid private parameters in mbedtls_ecdsa_sign().
994 Reported by Yolan Romailler.
995 * Fix word size check in in pk.c to not depend on MBEDTLS_HAVE_INT64.
996 * Fix incorrect unit in benchmark output. #850
997 * Add size-checks for record and handshake message content, securing
998 fragile yet non-exploitable code-paths.
999 * Fix crash when calling mbedtls_ssl_cache_free() twice. Found by
1000 MilenkoMitrovic, #1104
1001 * Fix mbedtls_timing_alarm(0) on Unix and MinGW.
1002 * Fix use of uninitialized memory in mbedtls_timing_get_timer() when reset=1.
1003 * Fix possible memory leaks in mbedtls_gcm_self_test().
1004 * Added missing return code checks in mbedtls_aes_self_test().
1005 * Fix issues in RSA key generation program programs/x509/rsa_genkey and the
1006 RSA test suite where the failure of CTR DRBG initialization lead to
1007 freeing an RSA context and several MPI's without proper initialization
1009 * Fix error message in programs/pkey/gen_key.c. Found and fixed by Chris Xue.
1010 * Fix programs/pkey/dh_server.c so that it actually works with dh_client.c.
1011 Found and fixed by Martijn de Milliano.
1012 * Fix an issue in the cipher decryption with the mode
1013 MBEDTLS_PADDING_ONE_AND_ZEROS that sometimes accepted invalid padding.
1014 Note, this padding mode is not used by the TLS protocol. Found and fixed by
1016 * Fix the entropy.c module to not call mbedtls_sha256_starts() or
1017 mbedtls_sha512_starts() in the mbedtls_entropy_init() function.
1018 * Fix the entropy.c module to ensure that mbedtls_sha256_init() or
1019 mbedtls_sha512_init() is called before operating on the relevant context
1020 structure. Do not assume that zeroizing a context is a correct way to
1021 reset it. Found independently by ccli8 on Github.
1022 * In mbedtls_entropy_free(), properly free the message digest context.
1023 * Fix status handshake status message in programs/ssl/dtls_client.c. Found
1024 and fixed by muddog.
1027 * Extend cert_write example program by options to set the certificate version
1028 and the message digest. Further, allow enabling/disabling of authority
1029 identifier, subject identifier and basic constraints extensions.
1030 * Only check for necessary RSA structure fields in `mbedtls_rsa_private`. In
1031 particular, don't require P,Q if neither CRT nor blinding are
1032 used. Reported and fix proposed independently by satur9nine and sliai
1034 * Only run AES-192 self-test if AES-192 is available. Fixes #963.
1035 * Tighten the RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification code and remove the
1036 undeclared dependency of the RSA module on the ASN.1 module.
1037 * Update all internal usage of deprecated message digest functions to the
1038 new ones with return codes. In particular, this modifies the
1039 mbedtls_md_info_t structure. Propagate errors from these functions
1040 everywhere except some locations in the ssl_tls.c module.
1041 * Improve CTR_DRBG error handling by propagating underlying AES errors.
1042 * Add MBEDTLS_ERR_XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED error codes for all cryptography
1043 modules where the software implementation can be replaced by a hardware
1045 * Add explicit warnings for the use of MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA-1, DES and ARC4
1046 throughout the library.
1048 = mbed TLS 2.6.0 branch released 2017-08-10
1051 * Fix authentication bypass in SSL/TLS: when authmode is set to optional,
1052 mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result() would incorrectly return 0 when the peer's
1053 X.509 certificate chain had more than MBEDTLS_X509_MAX_INTERMEDIATE_CA
1054 (default: 8) intermediates, even when it was not trusted. This could be
1055 triggered remotely from either side. (With authmode set to 'required'
1056 (the default), the handshake was correctly aborted).
1057 * Reliably wipe sensitive data after use in the AES example applications
1058 programs/aes/aescrypt2 and programs/aes/crypt_and_hash.
1059 Found by Laurent Simon.
1062 * Add the functions mbedtls_platform_setup() and mbedtls_platform_teardown()
1063 and the context struct mbedtls_platform_context to perform
1064 platform-specific setup and teardown operations. The macro
1065 MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETUP_TEARDOWN_ALT allows the functions to be overridden
1066 by the user in a platform_alt.h file. These new functions are required in
1067 some embedded environments to provide a means of initialising underlying
1068 cryptographic acceleration hardware.
1071 * Reverted API/ABI breaking changes introduced in mbed TLS 2.5.1, to make the
1072 API consistent with mbed TLS 2.5.0. Specifically removed the inline
1073 qualifier from the functions mbedtls_aes_decrypt, mbedtls_aes_encrypt,
1074 mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_uses_ec and mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_uses_psk. Found
1075 by James Cowgill. #978
1076 * Certificate verification functions now set flags to -1 in case the full
1077 chain was not verified due to an internal error (including in the verify
1078 callback) or chain length limitations.
1079 * With authmode set to optional, the TLS handshake is now aborted if the
1080 verification of the peer's certificate failed due to an overlong chain or
1081 a fatal error in the verify callback.
1084 * Add a check if iv_len is zero in GCM, and return an error if it is zero.
1085 Reported by roberto. #716
1086 * Replace preprocessor condition from #if defined(MBEDTLS_THREADING_PTHREAD)
1087 to #if defined(MBEDTLS_THREADING_C) as the library cannot assume they will
1088 always be implemented by pthread support. #696
1089 * Fix a resource leak on Windows platforms in mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path(),
1090 in the case of an error. Found by redplait. #590
1091 * Add MBEDTLS_MPI_CHK to check for error value of mbedtls_mpi_fill_random.
1092 Reported and fix suggested by guidovranken. #740
1093 * Fix conditional preprocessor directives in bignum.h to enable 64-bit
1094 compilation when using ARM Compiler 6.
1095 * Fix a potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
1096 encoded X.509 CRLs. The overflow could enable maliciously constructed CRLs
1097 to bypass the version verification check. Found by Peng Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin,
1098 KNOX Security, Samsung Research America
1099 * Fix potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
1100 encoded X.509 CSRs. The overflow could enable maliciously constructed CSRs
1101 to bypass the version verification check. Found by Peng Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin,
1102 KNOX Security, Samsung Research America
1103 * Fix a potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
1104 encoded X.509 certificates. The overflow could enable maliciously
1105 constructed certificates to bypass the certificate verification check.
1106 * Fix a call to the libc function time() to call the platform abstraction
1107 function mbedtls_time() instead. Found by wairua. #666
1108 * Avoid shadowing of time and index functions through mbed TLS function
1109 arguments. Found by inestlerode. #557.
1112 * Added config.h option MBEDTLS_NO_UDBL_DIVISION, to prevent the use of
1113 64-bit division. This is useful on embedded platforms where 64-bit division
1114 created a dependency on external libraries. #708
1115 * Removed mutexes from ECP hardware accelerator code. Now all hardware
1116 accelerator code in the library leaves concurrency handling to the
1117 platform. Reported by Steven Cooreman. #863
1118 * Define the macro MBEDTLS_AES_ROM_TABLES in the configuration file
1119 config-no-entropy.h to reduce the RAM footprint.
1120 * Added a test script that can be hooked into git that verifies commits
1121 before they are pushed.
1122 * Improve documentation of PKCS1 decryption functions.
1124 = mbed TLS 2.5.1 released 2017-06-21
1127 * Fixed unlimited overread of heap-based buffer in mbedtls_ssl_read().
1128 The issue could only happen client-side with renegotiation enabled.
1129 Could result in DoS (application crash) or information leak
1130 (if the application layer sent data read from mbedtls_ssl_read()
1131 back to the server or to a third party). Can be triggered remotely.
1132 * Removed SHA-1 and RIPEMD-160 from the default hash algorithms for
1133 certificate verification. SHA-1 can be turned back on with a compile-time
1135 * Fixed offset in FALLBACK_SCSV parsing that caused TLS server to fail to
1136 detect it sometimes. Reported by Hugo Leisink. #810
1137 * Tighten parsing of RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures, to avoid a
1138 potential Bleichenbacher/BERserk-style attack.
1141 * Remove size zero arrays from ECJPAKE test suite. Size zero arrays are not
1142 valid C and they prevented the test from compiling in Visual Studio 2015
1143 and with GCC using the -Wpedantic compilation option.
1144 * Fix insufficient support for signature-hash-algorithm extension,
1145 resulting in compatibility problems with Chrome. Found by hfloyrd. #823
1146 * Fix behaviour that hid the original cause of fatal alerts in some cases
1147 when sending the alert failed. The fix makes sure not to hide the error
1148 that triggered the alert.
1149 * Fix SSLv3 renegotiation behaviour and stop processing data received from
1150 peer after sending a fatal alert to refuse a renegotiation attempt.
1151 Previous behaviour was to keep processing data even after the alert has
1153 * Accept empty trusted CA chain in authentication mode
1154 MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL. Found by Jethro Beekman. #864
1155 * Fix implementation of mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate() to not annihilate
1156 fatal errors in authentication mode MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL and to
1157 reflect bad EC curves within verification result.
1158 * Fix bug that caused the modular inversion function to accept the invalid
1159 modulus 1 and therefore to hang. Found by blaufish. #641.
1160 * Fix incorrect sign computation in modular exponentiation when the base is
1161 a negative MPI. Previously the result was always negative. Found by Guido
1163 * Fix a numerical underflow leading to stack overflow in mpi_read_file()
1164 that was triggered uppon reading an empty line. Found by Guido Vranken.
1167 * Send fatal alerts in more cases. The previous behaviour was to skip
1168 sending the fatal alert and just drop the connection.
1169 * Clarify ECDSA documentation and improve the sample code to avoid
1170 misunderstanding and potentially dangerous use of the API. Pointed out
1171 by Jean-Philippe Aumasson.
1173 = mbed TLS 2.5.0 branch released 2017-05-17
1176 * Wipe stack buffers in RSA private key operations
1177 (rsa_rsaes_pkcs1_v15_decrypt(), rsa_rsaes_oaep_decrypt). Found by Laurent
1179 * Add exponent blinding to RSA private operations as a countermeasure
1180 against side-channel attacks like the cache attack described in
1181 https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.08719v2.
1182 Found and fix proposed by Michael Schwarz, Samuel Weiser, Daniel Gruss,
1183 Clémentine Maurice and Stefan Mangard.
1186 * Add hardware acceleration support for the Elliptic Curve Point module.
1187 This involved exposing parts of the internal interface to enable
1188 replacing the core functions and adding and alternative, module level
1189 replacement support for enabling the extension of the interface.
1190 * Add a new configuration option to 'mbedtls_ssl_config' to enable
1191 suppressing the CA list in Certificate Request messages. The default
1192 behaviour has not changed, namely every configured CAs name is included.
1195 * The following functions in the AES module have been deprecated and replaced
1196 by the functions shown below. The new functions change the return type from
1197 void to int to allow returning error codes when using MBEDTLS_AES_ALT,
1198 MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT_ALT or MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT_ALT.
1199 mbedtls_aes_decrypt() -> mbedtls_internal_aes_decrypt()
1200 mbedtls_aes_encrypt() -> mbedtls_internal_aes_encrypt()
1203 * Remove macros from compat-1.3.h that correspond to deleted items from most
1204 recent versions of the library. Found by Kyle Keen.
1205 * Fixed issue in the Threading module that prevented mutexes from
1206 initialising. Found by sznaider. #667 #843
1207 * Add checks in the PK module for the RSA functions on 64-bit systems.
1208 The PK and RSA modules use different types for passing hash length and
1209 without these checks the type cast could lead to data loss. Found by Guido
1212 = mbed TLS 2.4.2 branch released 2017-03-08
1215 * Add checks to prevent signature forgeries for very large messages while
1216 using RSA through the PK module in 64-bit systems. The issue was caused by
1217 some data loss when casting a size_t to an unsigned int value in the
1218 functions rsa_verify_wrap(), rsa_sign_wrap(), rsa_alt_sign_wrap() and
1219 mbedtls_pk_sign(). Found by Jean-Philippe Aumasson.
1220 * Fixed potential livelock during the parsing of a CRL in PEM format in
1221 mbedtls_x509_crl_parse(). A string containing a CRL followed by trailing
1222 characters after the footer could result in the execution of an infinite
1223 loop. The issue can be triggered remotely. Found by Greg Zaverucha,
1225 * Removed MD5 from the allowed hash algorithms for CertificateRequest and
1226 CertificateVerify messages, to prevent SLOTH attacks against TLS 1.2.
1227 Introduced by interoperability fix for #513.
1228 * Fixed a bug that caused freeing a buffer that was allocated on the stack,
1229 when verifying the validity of a key on secp224k1. This could be
1230 triggered remotely for example with a maliciously constructed certificate
1231 and potentially could lead to remote code execution on some platforms.
1232 Reported independently by rongsaws and Aleksandar Nikolic, Cisco Talos
1233 team. #569 CVE-2017-2784
1236 * Fix output certificate verification flags set by x509_crt_verify_top() when
1237 traversing a chain of trusted CA. The issue would cause both flags,
1238 MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_NOT_TRUSTED and MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_EXPIRED, to be
1239 set when the verification conditions are not met regardless of the cause.
1240 Found by Harm Verhagen and inestlerode. #665 #561
1241 * Fix the redefinition of macro ssl_set_bio to an undefined symbol
1242 mbedtls_ssl_set_bio_timeout in compat-1.3.h, by removing it.
1243 Found by omlib-lin. #673
1244 * Fix unused variable/function compilation warnings in pem.c, x509_crt.c and
1245 x509_csr.c that are reported when building mbed TLS with a config.h that
1246 does not define MBEDTLS_PEM_PARSE_C. Found by omnium21. #562
1247 * Fix incorrect renegotiation condition in ssl_check_ctr_renegotiate() that
1248 would compare 64 bits of the record counter instead of 48 bits as indicated
1249 in RFC 6347 Section 4.3.1. This could cause the execution of the
1250 renegotiation routines at unexpected times when the protocol is DTLS. Found
1252 * Fixed multiple buffer overreads in mbedtls_pem_read_buffer() when parsing
1253 the input string in PEM format to extract the different components. Found
1255 * Fixed potential arithmetic overflow in mbedtls_ctr_drbg_reseed() that could
1256 cause buffer bound checks to be bypassed. Found by Eyal Itkin.
1257 * Fixed potential arithmetic overflows in mbedtls_cipher_update() that could
1258 cause buffer bound checks to be bypassed. Found by Eyal Itkin.
1259 * Fixed potential arithmetic overflow in mbedtls_md2_update() that could
1260 cause buffer bound checks to be bypassed. Found by Eyal Itkin.
1261 * Fixed potential arithmetic overflow in mbedtls_base64_decode() that could
1262 cause buffer bound checks to be bypassed. Found by Eyal Itkin.
1263 * Fixed heap overreads in mbedtls_x509_get_time(). Found by Peng
1264 Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin, KNOX Security, Samsung Research America.
1265 * Fix potential memory leak in mbedtls_x509_crl_parse(). The leak was caused
1266 by missing calls to mbedtls_pem_free() in cases when a
1267 MBEDTLS_ERR_PEM_NO_HEADER_FOOTER_PRESENT error was encountered. Found and
1268 fix proposed by Guido Vranken. #722
1269 * Fixed the templates used to generate project and solution files for Visual
1270 Studio 2015 as well as the files themselves, to remove a build warning
1271 generated in Visual Studio 2015. Reported by Steve Valliere. #742
1272 * Fix a resource leak in ssl_cookie, when using MBEDTLS_THREADING_C.
1273 Raised and fix suggested by Alan Gillingham in the mbed TLS forum. #771
1274 * Fix 1 byte buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_write_string() when the MPI
1275 number to write in hexadecimal is negative and requires an odd number of
1276 digits. Found and fixed by Guido Vranken.
1277 * Fix unlisted DES configuration dependency in some pkparse test cases. Found
1278 by inestlerode. #555
1280 = mbed TLS 2.4.1 branch released 2016-12-13
1283 * Update to CMAC test data, taken from - NIST Special Publication 800-38B -
1284 Recommendation for Block Cipher Modes of Operation: The CMAC Mode for
1285 Authentication – October 2016
1287 = mbed TLS 2.4.0 branch released 2016-10-17
1290 * Removed the MBEDTLS_SSL_AEAD_RANDOM_IV option, because it was not compliant
1291 with RFC-5116 and could lead to session key recovery in very long TLS
1292 sessions. "Nonce-Disrespecting Adversaries Practical Forgery Attacks on GCM in
1293 TLS" - H. Bock, A. Zauner, S. Devlin, J. Somorovsky, P. Jovanovic.
1294 https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/475.pdf
1295 * Fixed potential stack corruption in mbedtls_x509write_crt_der() and
1296 mbedtls_x509write_csr_der() when the signature is copied to the buffer
1297 without checking whether there is enough space in the destination. The
1298 issue cannot be triggered remotely. Found by Jethro Beekman.
1301 * Added support for CMAC for AES and 3DES and AES-CMAC-PRF-128, as defined by
1302 NIST SP 800-38B, RFC-4493 and RFC-4615.
1303 * Added hardware entropy selftest to verify that the hardware entropy source
1304 is functioning correctly.
1305 * Added a script to print build environment info for diagnostic use in test
1306 scripts, which is also now called by all.sh.
1307 * Added the macro MBEDTLS_X509_MAX_FILE_PATH_LEN that enables the user to
1308 configure the maximum length of a file path that can be buffered when
1309 calling mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path().
1310 * Added a configuration file config-no-entropy.h that configures the subset of
1311 library features that do not require an entropy source.
1312 * Added the macro MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_MIN_HARDWARE in config.h. This allows users
1313 to configure the minimum number of bytes for entropy sources using the
1314 mbedtls_hardware_poll() function.
1317 * Fix for platform time abstraction to avoid dependency issues where a build
1318 may need time but not the standard C library abstraction, and added
1319 configuration consistency checks to check_config.h
1320 * Fix dependency issue in Makefile to allow parallel builds.
1321 * Fix incorrect handling of block lengths in crypt_and_hash.c sample program,
1322 when GCM is used. Found by udf2457. #441

1336 * Fix mbedtls_x509_get_sig() to update the ASN1 type in the mbedtls_x509_buf
1337 data structure until after error checks are successful. Found by
1339 * Fix documentation and implementation missmatch for function arguments of
1340 mbedtls_gcm_finish(). Found by cmiatpaar. #602
1341 * Guarantee that P>Q at RSA key generation. Found by inestlerode. #558
1342 * Fix potential byte overread when verifying malformed SERVER_HELLO in
1343 ssl_parse_hello_verify_request() for DTLS. Found by Guido Vranken.
1344 * Fix check for validity of date when parsing in mbedtls_x509_get_time().
1345 Found by subramanyam-c. #626
1346 * Fix compatibility issue with Internet Explorer client authentication,
1347 where the limited hash choices prevented the client from sending its
1348 certificate. Found by teumas. #513
1349 * Fix compilation without MBEDTLS_SELF_TEST enabled.
1352 * Extended test coverage of special cases, and added new timing test suite.
1353 * Removed self-tests from the basic-built-test.sh script, and added all
1354 missing self-tests to the test suites, to ensure self-tests are only
1356 * Added support for 3 and 4 byte lengths to mbedtls_asn1_write_len().
1357 * Added support for a Yotta specific configuration file -
1358 through the symbol YOTTA_CFG_MBEDTLS_TARGET_CONFIG_FILE.
1359 * Added optimization for code space for X.509/OID based on configured
1360 features. Contributed by Aviv Palivoda.
1361 * Renamed source file library/net.c to library/net_sockets.c to avoid
1362 naming collision in projects which also have files with the common name
1363 net.c. For consistency, the corresponding header file, net.h, is marked as
1364 deprecated, and its contents moved to net_sockets.h.
1365 * Changed the strategy for X.509 certificate parsing and validation, to no
1366 longer disregard certificates with unrecognised fields.
1368 = mbed TLS 2.3.0 branch released 2016-06-28
1371 * Fix missing padding length check in mbedtls_rsa_rsaes_pkcs1_v15_decrypt
1372 required by PKCS1 v2.2
1373 * Fix potential integer overflow to buffer overflow in
1374 mbedtls_rsa_rsaes_pkcs1_v15_encrypt and mbedtls_rsa_rsaes_oaep_encrypt
1375 (not triggerable remotely in (D)TLS).
1376 * Fix a potential integer underflow to buffer overread in
1377 mbedtls_rsa_rsaes_oaep_decrypt. It is not triggerable remotely in
1381 * Support for platform abstraction of the standard C library time()
1385 * Fix bug in mbedtls_mpi_add_mpi() that caused wrong results when the three
1386 arguments where the same (in-place doubling). Found and fixed by Janos
1388 * Fix potential build failures related to the 'apidoc' target, introduced
1389 in the previous patch release. Found by Robert Scheck. #390 #391
1390 * Fix issue in Makefile that prevented building using armar. #386
1391 * Fix memory leak that occurred only when ECJPAKE was enabled and ECDHE and
1392 ECDSA was disabled in config.h . The leak didn't occur by default.
1393 * Fix an issue that caused valid certificates to be rejected whenever an
1394 expired or not yet valid certificate was parsed before a valid certificate
1395 in the trusted certificate list.
1396 * Fix bug in mbedtls_x509_crt_parse that caused trailing extra data in the
1397 buffer after DER certificates to be included in the raw representation.
1398 * Fix issue that caused a hang when generating RSA keys of odd bitlength
1399 * Fix bug in mbedtls_rsa_rsaes_pkcs1_v15_encrypt that made null pointer
1400 dereference possible.
1401 * Fix issue that caused a crash if invalid curves were passed to
1402 mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves. #373
1403 * Fix issue in ssl_fork_server which was preventing it from functioning. #429
1404 * Fix memory leaks in test framework
1405 * Fix test in ssl-opt.sh that does not run properly with valgrind

1409 * On ARM platforms, when compiling with -O0 with GCC, Clang or armcc5,
1410 don't use the optimized assembly for bignum multiplication. This removes
1411 the need to pass -fomit-frame-pointer to avoid a build error with -O0.
1412 * Disabled SSLv3 in the default configuration.
1413 * Optimized mbedtls_mpi_zeroize() for MPI integer size. (Fix by Alexey
1415 * Fix non-compliance server extension handling. Extensions for SSLv3 are now
1416 ignored, as required by RFC6101.
1418 = mbed TLS 2.2.1 released 2016-01-05
1421 * Fix potential double free when mbedtls_asn1_store_named_data() fails to
1422 allocate memory. Only used for certificate generation, not triggerable
1423 remotely in SSL/TLS. Found by Rafał Przywara. #367
1424 * Disable MD5 handshake signatures in TLS 1.2 by default to prevent the
1425 SLOTH attack on TLS 1.2 server authentication (other attacks from the
1426 SLOTH paper do not apply to any version of mbed TLS or PolarSSL).
1427 https://www.mitls.org/pages/attacks/SLOTH
1430 * Fix over-restrictive length limit in GCM. Found by Andreas-N. #362
1431 * Fix bug in certificate validation that caused valid chains to be rejected
1432 when the first intermediate certificate has pathLenConstraint=0. Found by
1433 Nicholas Wilson. Introduced in mbed TLS 2.2.0. #280
1434 * Removed potential leak in mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pkcs1_v15_sign(), found by
1435 JayaraghavendranK. #372
1436 * Fix suboptimal handling of unexpected records that caused interop issues
1437 with some peers over unreliable links. Avoid dropping an entire DTLS
1438 datagram if a single record in a datagram is unexpected, instead only
1439 drop the record and look at subsequent records (if any are present) in
1440 the same datagram. Found by jeannotlapin. #345
1442 = mbed TLS 2.2.0 released 2015-11-04
1445 * Fix potential double free if mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk() is called more than
1446 once and some allocation fails. Cannot be forced remotely. Found by Guido
1447 Vranken, Intelworks.
1448 * Fix potential heap corruption on Windows when
1449 mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path() is passed a path longer than 2GB. Cannot be
1450 triggered remotely. Found by Guido Vranken, Intelworks.
1451 * Fix potential buffer overflow in some asn1_write_xxx() functions.
1452 Cannot be triggered remotely unless you create X.509 certificates based
1453 on untrusted input or write keys of untrusted origin. Found by Guido
1454 Vranken, Intelworks.
1455 * The X509 max_pathlen constraint was not enforced on intermediate
1456 certificates. Found by Nicholas Wilson, fix and tests provided by
1457 Janos Follath. #280 and #319
1460 * Experimental support for EC J-PAKE as defined in Thread 1.0.0.
1461 Disabled by default as the specification might still change.
1462 * Added a key extraction callback to accees the master secret and key
1463 block. (Potential uses include EAP-TLS and Thread.)
1466 * Self-signed certificates were not excluded from pathlen counting,
1467 resulting in some valid X.509 being incorrectly rejected. Found and fix
1468 provided by Janos Follath. #319
1469 * Fix build error with configurations where ECDHE-PSK is the only key
1470 exchange. Found and fix provided by Chris Hammond. #270
1471 * Fix build error with configurations where RSA, RSA-PSK, ECDH-RSA or
1472 ECHD-ECDSA if the only key exchange. Multiple reports. #310
1473 * Fixed a bug causing some handshakes to fail due to some non-fatal alerts
1474 not being properly ignored. Found by mancha and Kasom Koht-arsa, #308
1475 * mbedtls_x509_crt_verify(_with_profile)() now also checks the key type and
1476 size/curve against the profile. Before that, there was no way to set a
1477 minimum key size for end-entity certificates with RSA keys. Found by
1478 Matthew Page of Scannex Electronics Ltd.
1479 * Fix failures in MPI on Sparc(64) due to use of bad assembly code.

1481 * Fix typo in name of the extKeyUsage OID. Found by inestlerode, #314
1482 * Fix bug in ASN.1 encoding of booleans that caused generated CA
1483 certificates to be rejected by some applications, including OS X
1484 Keychain. Found and fixed by Jonathan Leroy, Inikup.
1487 * Improved performance of mbedtls_ecp_muladd() when one of the scalars is 1
1490 = mbed TLS 2.1.2 released 2015-10-06

1494 overflow of the hostname or session ticket. Found by Guido Vranken,
1496 * Fix potential double-free if mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk() is called more than
1497 once in the same handhake and mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk() was used.
1498 Found and patch provided by Guido Vranken, Intelworks. Cannot be forced
1500 * Fix stack buffer overflow in pkcs12 decryption (used by
1501 mbedtls_pk_parse_key(file)() when the password is > 129 bytes.
1502 Found by Guido Vranken, Intelworks. Not triggerable remotely.
1503 * Fix potential buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_read_string().
1504 Found by Guido Vranken, Intelworks. Not exploitable remotely in the context
1505 of TLS, but might be in other uses. On 32 bit machines, requires reading a
1506 string of close to or larger than 1GB to exploit; on 64 bit machines, would
1507 require reading a string of close to or larger than 2^62 bytes.
1508 * Fix potential random memory allocation in mbedtls_pem_read_buffer()
1509 on crafted PEM input data. Found and fix provided by Guido Vranken,
1510 Intelworks. Not triggerable remotely in TLS. Triggerable remotely if you
1511 accept PEM data from an untrusted source.
1512 * Fix possible heap buffer overflow in base64_encoded() when the input
1513 buffer is 512MB or larger on 32-bit platforms. Found by Guido Vranken,
1514 Intelworks. Not trigerrable remotely in TLS.
1515 * Fix potential double-free if mbedtls_conf_psk() is called repeatedly on
1516 the same mbedtls_ssl_config object and memory allocation fails. Found by
1517 Guido Vranken, Intelworks. Cannot be forced remotely.
1518 * Fix potential heap buffer overflow in servers that perform client
1519 authentication against a crafted CA cert. Cannot be triggered remotely
1520 unless you allow third parties to pick trust CAs for client auth.
1521 Found by Guido Vranken, Intelworks.
1524 * Fix compile error in net.c with musl libc. Found and patch provided by
1526 * Fix macroization of 'inline' keyword when building as C++. (#279)
1529 * Added checking of hostname length in mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname() to ensure
1530 domain names are compliant with RFC 1035.
1531 * Fixed paths for check_config.h in example config files. (Found by bachp)
1534 = mbed TLS 2.1.1 released 2015-09-17
1537 * Add countermeasure against Lenstra's RSA-CRT attack for PKCS#1 v1.5
1538 signatures. (Found by Florian Weimer, Red Hat.)

1540 * Fix possible client-side NULL pointer dereference (read) when the client
1541 tries to continue the handshake after it failed (a misuse of the API).
1542 (Found and patch provided by Fabian Foerg, Gotham Digital Science using
1546 * Fix warning when using a 64bit platform. (found by embedthis) (#275)
1547 * Fix off-by-one error in parsing Supported Point Format extension that
1548 caused some handshakes to fail.
1551 * Made X509 profile pointer const in mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_profile() to allow
1552 use of mbedtls_x509_crt_profile_next. (found by NWilson)
1553 * When a client initiates a reconnect from the same port as a live
1554 connection, if cookie verification is available
1555 (MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_HELLO_VERIFY defined in config.h, and usable cookie
1556 callbacks set with mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_cookies()), this will be
1557 detected and mbedtls_ssl_read() will return
1558 MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CLIENT_RECONNECT - it is then possible to start a new
1559 handshake with the same context. (See RFC 6347 section 4.2.8.)
1561 = mbed TLS 2.1.0 released 2015-09-04

1587 be always used (found by dcb314) (#235)
1588 * Fix bug in mbedtls_rsa_public() and mbedtls_rsa_private() that could
1589 result trying to unlock an unlocked mutex on invalid input (found by

1600 * The PEM parser now accepts a trailing space at end of lines (#226).
1601 * It is now possible to #include a user-provided configuration file at the
1602 end of the default config.h by defining MBEDTLS_USER_CONFIG_FILE on the
1603 compiler's command line.
1604 * When verifying a certificate chain, if an intermediate certificate is
1605 trusted, no later cert is checked. (suggested by hannes-landeholm)
1607 * Prepend a "thread identifier" to debug messages (issue pointed out by
1608 Hugo Leisink) (#210).
1609 * Add mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len() to query the current maximum fragment
1612 = mbed TLS 2.0.0 released 2015-07-13
1615 * Support for DTLS 1.0 and 1.2 (RFC 6347).
1616 * Ability to override core functions from MDx, SHAx, AES and DES modules
1617 with custom implementation (eg hardware accelerated), complementing the
1618 ability to override the whole module.
1619 * New server-side implementation of session tickets that rotate keys to
1620 preserve forward secrecy, and allows sharing across multiple contexts.
1621 * Added a concept of X.509 cerificate verification profile that controls
1622 which algorithms and key sizes (curves for ECDSA) are acceptable.
1623 * Expanded configurability of security parameters in the SSL module with
1624 mbedtls_ssl_conf_dhm_min_bitlen() and mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_hashes().
1625 * Introduced a concept of presets for SSL security-relevant configuration
1629 * The library has been split into libmbedcrypto, libmbedx509, libmbedtls.
1630 You now need to link to all of them if you use TLS for example.
1631 * All public identifiers moved to the mbedtls_* or MBEDTLS_* namespace.
1632 Some names have been further changed to make them more consistent.
1633 Migration helpers scripts/rename.pl and include/mbedtls/compat-1.3.h are
1634 provided. Full list of renamings in scripts/data_files/rename-1.3-2.0.txt
1635 * Renamings of fields inside structures, not covered by the previous list:
1636 mbedtls_cipher_info_t.key_length -> key_bitlen
1637 mbedtls_cipher_context_t.key_length -> key_bitlen
1638 mbedtls_ecp_curve_info.size -> bit_size
1639 * Headers are now found in the 'mbedtls' directory (previously 'polarssl').
1640 * The following _init() functions that could return errors have
1641 been split into an _init() that returns void and another function that
1642 should generally be the first function called on this context after init:
1643 mbedtls_ssl_init() -> mbedtls_ssl_setup()
1644 mbedtls_ccm_init() -> mbedtls_ccm_setkey()
1645 mbedtls_gcm_init() -> mbedtls_gcm_setkey()
1646 mbedtls_hmac_drbg_init() -> mbedtls_hmac_drbg_seed(_buf)()
1647 mbedtls_ctr_drbg_init() -> mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed()
1648 Note that for mbedtls_ssl_setup(), you need to be done setting up the
1649 ssl_config structure before calling it.
1650 * Most ssl_set_xxx() functions (all except ssl_set_bio(), ssl_set_hostname(),
1651 ssl_set_session() and ssl_set_client_transport_id(), plus
1652 ssl_legacy_renegotiation()) have been renamed to mbedtls_ssl_conf_xxx()
1653 (see rename.pl and compat-1.3.h above) and their first argument's type
1654 changed from ssl_context to ssl_config.
1655 * ssl_set_bio() changed signature (contexts merged, order switched, one
1656 additional callback for read-with-timeout).
1657 * The following functions have been introduced and must be used in callback
1658 implementations (SNI, PSK) instead of their *conf counterparts:
1659 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_own_cert()
1660 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_ca_chain()
1661 mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk()
1662 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_ca_chain() lost its last argument (peer_cn), now set
1663 using mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname().
1664 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_cache() changed prototype (only one context
1665 pointer, parameters reordered).
1666 * On server, mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets_cb() must now be used in
1667 place of mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets() to enable session tickets.
1668 * The SSL debug callback gained two new arguments (file name, line number).
1669 * Debug modes were removed.
1670 * mbedtls_ssl_conf_truncated_hmac() now returns void.
1671 * mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_init() now returns void.
1672 * X.509 verification flags are now an uint32_t. Affect the signature of:
1673 mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result()
1674 mbedtls_x509_ctr_verify_info()
1675 mbedtls_x509_crt_verify() (flags, f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
1676 mbedtls_ssl_conf_verify() (f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
1677 * The following functions changed prototype to avoid an in-out length
1679 mbedtls_base64_encode()
1680 mbedtls_base64_decode()
1681 mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
1682 mbedtls_dhm_calc_secret()
1683 * In the NET module, all "int" and "int *" arguments for file descriptors
1684 changed type to "mbedtls_net_context *".
1685 * net_accept() gained new arguments for the size of the client_ip buffer.
1686 * In the threading layer, mbedtls_mutex_init() and mbedtls_mutex_free() now
1688 * ecdsa_write_signature() gained an additional md_alg argument and
1689 ecdsa_write_signature_det() was deprecated.
1690 * pk_sign() no longer accepts md_alg == POLARSSL_MD_NONE with ECDSA.
1691 * Last argument of x509_crt_check_key_usage() and
1692 mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_key_usage() changed from int to unsigned.
1693 * test_ca_list (from certs.h) is renamed to test_cas_pem and is only
1694 available if POLARSSL_PEM_PARSE_C is defined (it never worked without).
1695 * Test certificates in certs.c are no longer guaranteed to be nul-terminated
1696 strings; use the new *_len variables instead of strlen().
1697 * Functions mbedtls_x509_xxx_parse(), mbedtls_pk_parse_key(),
1698 mbedtls_pk_parse_public_key() and mbedtls_dhm_parse_dhm() now expect the
1699 length parameter to include the terminating null byte for PEM input.
1700 * Signature of mpi_mul_mpi() changed to make the last argument unsigned
1701 * calloc() is now used instead of malloc() everywhere. API of platform
1702 layer and the memory_buffer_alloc module changed accordingly.
1703 (Thanks to Mansour Moufid for helping with the replacement.)
1704 * Change SSL_DISABLE_RENEGOTIATION config.h flag to SSL_RENEGOTIATION
1705 (support for renegotiation now needs explicit enabling in config.h).
1706 * Split MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME into MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME and MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE
1708 * net_connect() and net_bind() have a new 'proto' argument to choose
1709 between TCP and UDP, using the macros NET_PROTO_TCP or NET_PROTO_UDP.
1710 Their 'port' argument type is changed to a string.
1711 * Some constness fixes
1714 * Removed mbedtls_ecp_group_read_string(). Only named groups are supported.
1715 * Removed mbedtls_ecp_sub() and mbedtls_ecp_add(), use

1721 * Removed test DHM parameters from the test certs module.
1722 * Removed the PBKDF2 module (use PKCS5).
1723 * Removed POLARSSL_ERROR_STRERROR_BC (use mbedtls_strerror()).
1724 * Removed compat-1.2.h (helper for migrating from 1.2 to 1.3).
1725 * Removed openssl.h (very partial OpenSSL compatibility layer).
1726 * Configuration options POLARSSL_HAVE_LONGLONG was removed (now always on).
1727 * Configuration options POLARSSL_HAVE_INT8 and POLARSSL_HAVE_INT16 have
1728 been removed (compiler is required to support 32-bit operations).
1729 * Configuration option POLARSSL_HAVE_IPV6 was removed (always enabled).
1730 * Removed test program o_p_test, the script compat.sh does more.
1731 * Removed test program ssl_test, superseded by ssl-opt.sh.
1732 * Removed helper script active-config.pl
1735 * md_init_ctx() is deprecated in favour of md_setup(), that adds a third
1736 argument (allowing memory savings if HMAC is not used)
1738 Semi-API changes (technically public, morally private)
1739 * Renamed a few headers to include _internal in the name. Those headers are
1740 not supposed to be included by users.
1741 * Changed md_info_t into an opaque structure (use md_get_xxx() accessors).
1742 * Changed pk_info_t into an opaque structure.
1743 * Changed cipher_base_t into an opaque structure.
1744 * Removed sig_oid2 and rename sig_oid1 to sig_oid in x509_crt and x509_crl.
1745 * x509_crt.key_usage changed from unsigned char to unsigned int.
1746 * Removed r and s from ecdsa_context
1747 * Removed mode from des_context and des3_context
1749 Default behavior changes
1750 * The default minimum TLS version is now TLS 1.0.
1751 * RC4 is now blacklisted by default in the SSL/TLS layer, and excluded from the
1752 default ciphersuite list returned by ssl_list_ciphersuites()
1753 * Support for receiving SSLv2 ClientHello is now disabled by default at
1755 * The default authmode for SSL/TLS clients is now REQUIRED.
1756 * Support for RSA_ALT contexts in the PK layer is now optional. Since is is
1757 enabled in the default configuration, this is only noticeable if using a
1759 * Default DHM parameters server-side upgraded from 1024 to 2048 bits.
1760 * A minimum RSA key size of 2048 bits is now enforced during ceritificate
1762 * Negotiation of truncated HMAC is now disabled by default on server too.
1763 * The following functions are now case-sensitive:
1764 mbedtls_cipher_info_from_string()

1766 mbedtls_md_info_from_string()
1767 mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_from_string()
1768 mbedtls_version_check_feature()
1771 * The minimum MSVC version required is now 2010 (better C99 support).
1772 * The NET layer now unconditionnaly relies on getaddrinfo() and select().
1773 * Compiler is required to support C99 types such as long long and uint32_t.
1775 API changes from the 1.4 preview branch
1776 * ssl_set_bio_timeout() was removed, split into mbedtls_ssl_set_bio() with
1777 new prototype, and mbedtls_ssl_set_read_timeout().
1778 * The following functions now return void:
1779 mbedtls_ssl_conf_transport()
1780 mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version()
1781 mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version()
1782 * DTLS no longer hard-depends on TIMING_C, but uses a callback interface
1783 instead, see mbedtls_ssl_set_timer_cb(), with the Timing module providing
1784 an example implementation, see mbedtls_timing_delay_context and
1785 mbedtls_timing_set/get_delay().
1786 * With UDP sockets, it is no longer necessary to call net_bind() again
1787 after a successful net_accept().
1790 * mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random() and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_random() are now
1791 thread-safe if MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled.
1792 * Reduced ROM fooprint of SHA-256 and added an option to reduce it even
1793 more (at the expense of performance) MBEDTLS_SHA256_SMALLER.
1795 = mbed TLS 1.3 branch
1798 * With authmode set to SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL, verification of keyUsage and
1799 extendedKeyUsage on the leaf certificate was lost (results not accessible
1800 via ssl_get_verify_results()).
