In case truncated HMAC must be used but the Mbed TLS peer hasn't been updated
yet, one can use the compile-time option MBEDTLS_SSL_TRUNCATED_HMAC_COMPAT to
temporarily fall back to the old, non-compliant implementation of the truncated
HMAC extension.
The truncated HMAC extension as described in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6066.html#section-7 specifies that when truncated
HMAC is used, only the HMAC output should be truncated, while the HMAC key
generation stays unmodified. This commit fixes Mbed TLS's behavior of also
truncating the key, potentially leading to compatibility issues with peers
running other stacks than Mbed TLS.
Details:
The keys for the MAC are pieces of the keyblock that's generated from the
master secret in `mbedtls_ssl_derive_keys` through the PRF, their size being
specified as the size of the digest used for the MAC, regardless of whether
truncated HMAC is enabled or not.
/----- MD size ------\ /------- MD size ----\
Keyblock +----------------------+----------------------+------------------+---
now | MAC enc key | MAC dec key | Enc key | ...
(correct) +----------------------+----------------------+------------------+---
In the previous code, when truncated HMAC was enabled, the HMAC keys
were truncated to 10 bytes:
/-10 bytes-\ /-10 bytes-\
Keyblock +-------------+-------------+------------------+---
previously | MAC enc key | MAC dec key | Enc key | ...
(wrong) +-------------+-------------+------------------+---
The reason for this was that a single variable `transform->maclen` was used for
both the keysize and the size of the final MAC, and its value was reduced from
the MD size to 10 bytes in case truncated HMAC was negotiated.
This commit fixes this by introducing a temporary variable `mac_key_len` which
permanently holds the MD size irrespective of the presence of truncated HMAC,
and using this temporary to obtain the MAC key chunks from the keyblock.
Previously, MAC validation for an incoming record proceeded as follows:
1) Make a copy of the MAC contained in the record;
2) Compute the expected MAC in place, overwriting the presented one;
3) Compare both.
This resulted in a record buffer overflow if truncated MAC was used, as in this
case the record buffer only reserved 10 bytes for the MAC, but the MAC
computation routine in 2) always wrote a full digest.
For specially crafted records, this could be used to perform a controlled write of
up to 6 bytes past the boundary of the heap buffer holding the record, thereby
corrupting the heap structures and potentially leading to a crash or remote code
execution.
This commit fixes this by making the following change:
1) Compute the expected MAC in a temporary buffer that has the size of the
underlying message digest.
2) Compare to this to the MAC contained in the record, potentially
restricting to the first 10 bytes if truncated HMAC is used.
A similar fix is applied to the encryption routine `ssl_encrypt_buf`.

Previously, if `MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION` was disabled, incoming handshake
messages in `mbedtls_ssl_read` (expecting application data) lead to the
connection being closed. This commit fixes this, restricting the
`MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION`-guard to the code-paths responsible for accepting
renegotiation requests and aborting renegotiation attempts after too many
unexpected records have been received.
This commit reconciles the code path responsible for resending the
final DTLS handshake flight with the path for handling resending of
the other flights.
DTLS records from previous epochs were incorrectly checked against the
current epoch transform's minimal content length, leading to the
rejection of entire datagrams. This commit fixed that and adapts two
test cases accordingly.
Internal reference: IOTSSL-1417
- Enhances the documentation of mbedtls_ssl_get_bytes_avail (return
the number of bytes left in the current application data record, if
there is any).
- Introduces a new public function mbedtls_ssl_check_pending for
checking whether any data in the internal buffers still needs to be
processed. This is necessary for users implementing event-driven IO
to decide when they can safely idle until they receive further
events from the underlying transport.
Give a note on the debugging output on the following occasions:
(1) The timer expires in mbedtls_ssl_fetch_input
(2) There's more than one records within a single datagram
As done by previous commits for ECC and ECDSA:
- use explicit state assignments rather than increment
- always place the state update right before the operation label
This will make it easier to add restart support for other operations later if
desired.
SSL-specific changes:
- remove useless states: when the last restartable operation on a message is
complete, ssl->state is incremented already, so we don't need any additional
state update: ecrs_state is only meant to complement ssl->state
- rename remaining states consistently as <message>_<operation>
- move some labels closer to the actual operation when possible (no assignment
to variables used after the label between its previous and current position)
Goals include:
- reducing the number of local variables in the main function (so that we
don't have to worry about saving/restoring them)
- reducing the number exit points in the main function, making it easier to
update ssl->state only right before we return
- more consistent naming with ecrs prefix for everything
- always check it enabled before touching the rest
- rm duplicated code in parse_server_hello()
This commit fixes the following case: If a client is both expecting a
SERVER_HELLO and has an application data record that's partially
processed in flight (that's the situation the client gets into after
receiving a ServerHelloRequest followed by ApplicationData), a
subsequent call to mbedtls_ssl_read will set keep_current_message = 1
when seeing the unexpected application data, but not reset it to 0
after the application data has been processed. This commit fixes this.
It also documents and suggests how the problem might be solved in a
more structural way on the long run.
This commit adds a hard assertion to mbedtls_ssl_read_record_layer
triggering if both ssl->in_hslen and ssl->in_offt are not 0. This
should never happen, and if it does, there's no sensible way of
telling whether the previous message was a handshake or an application
data message.
