= mbed TLS 2.0.0 released 2015-07-13
Features
* Support for DTLS 1.0 and 1.2 (RFC 6347).
* Ability to override core functions from MDx, SHAx, AES and DES modules
with custom implementation (eg hardware accelerated), complementing the
ability to override the whole module.
* New server-side implementation of session tickets that rotate keys to
preserve forward secrecy, and allows sharing across multiple contexts.
* Added a concept of X.509 cerificate verification profile that controls
which algorithms and key sizes (curves for ECDSA) are acceptable.
* Expanded configurability of security parameters in the SSL module with
mbedtls_ssl_conf_dhm_min_bitlen() and mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_hashes().
* Introduced a concept of presets for SSL security-relevant configuration
parameters.
API Changes
* The library has been split into libmbedcrypto, libmbedx509, libmbedtls.
You now need to link to all of them if you use TLS for example.
* All public identifiers moved to the mbedtls_* or MBEDTLS_* namespace.
Some names have been further changed to make them more consistent.
Migration helpers scripts/rename.pl and include/mbedlts/compat-1.3.h are
provided. Full list of renamings in scripts/data_files/rename-1.3-2.0.txt
* Renamings of fields inside structures, not covered by the previous list:
mbedtls_cipher_info_t.key_length -> key_bitlen
mbedtls_cipher_context_t.key_length -> key_bitlen
mbedtls_ecp_curve_info.size -> bit_size
* Headers are now found in the 'mbedtls' directory (previously 'polarssl').
* The following _init() functions that could return errors have
been split into an _init() that returns void and another function that
should generally be the first function called on this context after init:
mbedtls_ssl_init() -> mbedtls_ssl_setup()
mbedtls_ccm_init() -> mbedtls_ccm_setkey()
mbedtls_gcm_init() -> mbedtls_gcm_setkey()
mbedtls_hmac_drbg_init() -> mbedtls_hmac_drbg_seed(_buf)()
mbedtls_ctr_drbg_init() -> mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed()
Note that for mbetls_ssl_setup(), you need to be done setting up the
ssl_config structure before calling it.
* Most ssl_set_xxx() functions (all except ssl_set_bio(), ssl_set_hostname(),
ssl_set_session() and ssl_set_client_transport_id(), plus
ssl_legacy_renegotiation()) have been renamed to mbedtls_ssl_conf_xxx()
(see rename.pl and compat-1.3.h above) and their first argument's type
changed from ssl_context to ssl_config.
* ssl_set_bio() changed signature (contexts merged, order switched, one
additional callback for read-with-timeout).
* The following functions have been introduced and must be used in callback
implementations (SNI, PSK) instead of their *conf counterparts:
mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_own_cert()
mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_ca_chain()
mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk()
* mbedtls_ssl_conf_ca_chain() lost its last argument (peer_cn), now set
using mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname().
* mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_cache() changed prototype (only one context
pointer, parameters reordered).
* On server, mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets_cb() must now be used in
place of mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets() to enable session tickets.
* The SSL debug callback gained two new arguments (file name, line number).
* Debug modes were removed.
* mbedtls_ssl_conf_truncated_hmac() now returns void.
* mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_init() now returns void.
* X.509 verification flags are now an uint32_t. Affect the signature of:
mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result()
mbedtls_x509_ctr_verify_info()
mbedtls_x509_crt_verify() (flags, f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
mbedtls_ssl_conf_verify() (f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
* The following functions changed prototype to avoid an in-out length
parameter:
mbedtls_base64_encode()
mbedtls_base64_decode()
mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
mbedtls_dhm_calc_secret()
* In the NET module, all "int" and "int *" arguments for file descriptors
changed type to "mbedtls_net_context *".
* net_accept() gained new arguments for the size of the client_ip buffer.
* In the threading layer, mbedtls_mutex_init() and mbedtls_mutex_free() now
return void.
* ecdsa_write_signature() gained an addtional md_alg argument and
ecdsa_write_signature_det() was deprecated.
* pk_sign() no longer accepts md_alg == POLARSSL_MD_NONE with ECDSA.
* Last argument of x509_crt_check_key_usage() and
mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_key_usage() changed from int to unsigned.
* test_ca_list (from certs.h) is renamed to test_cas_pem and is only
available if POLARSSL_PEM_PARSE_C is defined (it never worked without).
* Test certificates in certs.c are no longer guaranteed to be nul-terminated
strings; use the new *_len variables instead of strlen().
* Functions mbedtls_x509_xxx_parse(), mbedtls_pk_parse_key(),
mbedtls_pk_parse_public_key() and mbedtls_dhm_parse_dhm() now expect the
length parameter to include the terminating null byte for PEM input.
* Signature of mpi_mul_mpi() changed to make the last argument unsigned
* calloc() is now used instead of malloc() everywhere. API of platform
layer and the memory_buffer_alloc module changed accordingly.
(Thanks to Mansour Moufid for helping with the replacement.)
* Change SSL_DISABLE_RENEGOTIATION config.h flag to SSL_RENEGOTIATION
(support for renegotiation now needs explicit enabling in config.h).
* Split MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME into MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME and MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE
in config.h
* net_connect() and net_bind() have a new 'proto' argument to choose
between TCP and UDP, using the macros NET_PROTO_TCP or NET_PROTO_UDP.
Their 'port' argument type is changed to a string.
* Some constness fixes
Removals
* Removed mbedtls_ecp_group_read_string(). Only named groups are supported.
* Removed mbedtls_ecp_sub() and mbedtls_ecp_add(), use
mbedtls_ecp_muladd().
* Removed individual mdX_hmac, shaX_hmac, mdX_file and shaX_file functions
(use generic functions from md.h)
* Removed mbedtls_timing_msleep(). Use mbedtls_net_usleep() or a custom
waiting function.
* Removed test DHM parameters from the test certs module.
* Removed the PBKDF2 module (use PKCS5).
* Removed POLARSSL_ERROR_STRERROR_BC (use mbedtls_strerror()).
* Removed compat-1.2.h (helper for migrating from 1.2 to 1.3).
* Removed openssl.h (very partial OpenSSL compatibility layer).
* Configuration options POLARSSL_HAVE_LONGLONG was removed (now always on).
* Configuration options POLARSSL_HAVE_INT8 and POLARSSL_HAVE_INT16 have
been removed (compiler is required to support 32-bit operations).
* Configuration option POLARSSL_HAVE_IPV6 was removed (always enabled).
* Removed test program o_p_test, the script compat.sh does more.
* Removed test program ssl_test, superseded by ssl-opt.sh.
* Removed helper script active-config.pl
New deprecations
* md_init_ctx() is deprecated in favour of md_setup(), that adds a third
argument (allowing memory savings if HMAC is not used)
Semi-API changes (technically public, morally private)
* Renamed a few headers to include _internal in the name. Those headers are
not supposed to be included by users.
* Changed md_info_t into an opaque structure (use md_get_xxx() accessors).
* Changed pk_info_t into an opaque structure.
* Changed cipher_base_t into an opaque structure.
* Removed sig_oid2 and rename sig_oid1 to sig_oid in x509_crt and x509_crl.
* x509_crt.key_usage changed from unsigned char to unsigned int.
* Removed r and s from ecdsa_context
* Removed mode from des_context and des3_context
Default behavior changes
* The default minimum TLS version is now TLS 1.0.
* RC4 is now blacklisted by default in the SSL/TLS layer, and excluded from the
default ciphersuite list returned by ssl_list_ciphersuites()
* Support for receiving SSLv2 ClientHello is now disabled by default at
compile time.
* The default authmode for SSL/TLS clients is now REQUIRED.
* Support for RSA_ALT contexts in the PK layer is now optional. Since is is
enabled in the default configuration, this is only noticeable if using a
custom config.h
* Default DHM parameters server-side upgraded from 1024 to 2048 bits.
* A minimum RSA key size of 2048 bits is now enforced during ceritificate
chain verification.
* Negotiation of truncated HMAC is now disabled by default on server too.
* The following functions are now case-sensitive:
mbedtls_cipher_info_from_string()
mbedtls_ecp_curve_info_from_name()
mbedtls_md_info_from_string()
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_from_string()
mbedtls_version_check_feature()
Requirement changes
* The minimum MSVC version required is now 2010 (better C99 support).
* The NET layer now unconditionnaly relies on getaddrinfo() and select().
* Compiler is required to support C99 types such as long long and uint32_t.
API changes from the 1.4 preview branch
* ssl_set_bio_timeout() was removed, split into mbedtls_ssl_set_bio() with
new prototype, and mbedtls_ssl_set_read_timeout().
* The following functions now return void:
mbedtls_ssl_conf_transport()
mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version()
mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version()
* DTLS no longer hard-depends on TIMING_C, but uses a callback interface
instead, see mbedtls_ssl_set_timer_cb(), with the Timing module providing
an example implementation, see mbedtls_timing_delay_context and
mbedtls_timing_set/get_delay().
* With UDP sockets, it is no longer necessary to call net_bind() again
after a successful net_accept().
Changes
* mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random() and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_random() are now
thread-safe if MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled.
* Reduced ROM fooprint of SHA-256 and added an option to reduce it even
more (at the expense of performance) MBEDTLS_SHA256_SMALLER.
= mbed TLS 1.3 branch
Security
* With authmode set to SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL, verification of keyUsage and
extendedKeyUsage on the leaf certificate was lost (results not accessible
via ssl_get_verify_results()).
* Add countermeasure against "Lucky 13 strikes back" cache-based attack,
https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2714625
Features
* Improve ECC performance by using more efficient doubling formulas
(contributed by Peter Dettman).
* Add x509_crt_verify_info() to display certificate verification results.
* Add support for reading DH parameters with privateValueLength included
(contributed by Daniel Kahn Gillmor).
* Add support for bit strings in X.509 names (request by Fredrik Axelsson).
* Add support for id-at-uniqueIdentifier in X.509 names.
* Add support for overriding snprintf() (except on Windows) and exit() in
the platform layer.
* Add an option to use macros instead of function pointers in the platform
layer (helps get rid of unwanted references).
* Improved Makefiles for Windows targets by fixing library targets and making
cross-compilation easier (thanks to Alon Bar-Lev).
* The benchmark program also prints heap usage for public-key primitives
if POLARSSL_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C and POLARSSL_MEMORY_DEBUG are defined.
* New script ecc-heap.sh helps measuring the impact of ECC parameters on
speed and RAM (heap only for now) usage.
* New script memory.sh helps measuring the ROM and RAM requirements of two
reduced configurations (PSK-CCM and NSA suite B).
* Add config flag POLARSSL_DEPRECATED_WARNING (off by default) to produce
warnings on use of deprecated functions (with GCC and Clang only).
* Add config flag POLARSSL_DEPRECATED_REMOVED (off by default) to produce
errors on use of deprecated functions.
Bugfix

rejected.
* Fix bug in Via Padlock support (found by Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos).

* Add missing extern "C" guard in aesni.h (reported by amir zamani).
* Add missing dependency on SHA-256 in some x509 programs (reported by

* Fix bug related to ssl_set_curves(): the client didn't check that the
curve picked by the server was actually allowed.
Changes
* Remove bias in mpi_gen_prime (contributed by Pascal Junod).
* Remove potential sources of timing variations (some contributed by Pascal
Junod).
* Options POLARSSL_HAVE_INT8 and POLARSSL_HAVE_INT16 are deprecated.
* Enabling POLARSSL_NET_C without POLARSSL_HAVE_IPV6 is deprecated.
* compat-1.2.h and openssl.h are deprecated.
* Adjusting/overriding CFLAGS and LDFLAGS with the make build system is now
more flexible (warning: OFLAGS is not used any more) (see the README)
(contributed by Alon Bar-Lev).
* ssl_set_own_cert() no longer calls pk_check_pair() since the
performance impact was bad for some users (this was introduced in 1.3.10).
* Move from SHA-1 to SHA-256 in example programs using signatures
(suggested by Thorsten Mühlfelder).
* Remove some unneeded inclusions of header files from the standard library
"minimize" others (eg use stddef.h if only size_t is needed).
* Change #include lines in test files to use double quotes instead of angle
brackets for uniformity with the rest of the code.
* Remove dependency on sscanf() in X.509 parsing modules.
= mbed TLS 1.3.10 released 2015-02-09
Security
* NULL pointer dereference in the buffer-based allocator when the buffer is
full and polarssl_free() is called (found by Mark Hasemeyer)
(only possible if POLARSSL_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C is enabled, which it is
not by default).
* Fix remotely-triggerable uninitialised pointer dereference caused by
crafted X.509 certificate (TLS server is not affected if it doesn't ask for a
client certificate) (found using Codenomicon Defensics).
* Fix remotely-triggerable memory leak caused by crafted X.509 certificates
(TLS server is not affected if it doesn't ask for a client certificate)

length of an X.509 verification chain.
* Support for renegotiation can now be disabled at compile-time
* Support for 1/n-1 record splitting, a countermeasure against BEAST.
* Certificate selection based on signature hash, preferring SHA-1 over SHA-2
for pre-1.2 clients when multiple certificates are available.
* Add support for getrandom() syscall on recent Linux kernels with Glibc or
a compatible enough libc (eg uClibc).
* Add ssl_set_arc4_support() to make it easier to disable RC4 at runtime
while using the default ciphersuite list.
* Added new error codes and debug messages about selection of
ciphersuite/certificate.
Bugfix
* Stack buffer overflow if ctr_drbg_update() is called with too large
add_len (found by Jean-Philippe Aumasson) (not triggerable remotely).
* Possible buffer overflow of length at most POLARSSL_MEMORY_ALIGN_MULTIPLE
if memory_buffer_alloc_init() was called with buf not aligned and len not
a multiple of POLARSSL_MEMORY_ALIGN_MULTIPLE (not triggerable remotely).
* User set CFLAGS were ignored by Cmake with gcc (introduced in 1.3.9, found
by Julian Ospald).

* ssl_get_verify_result() now works even if the handshake was aborted due
to a failed verification (found by Fredrik Axelsson).
* Skip writing and parsing signature_algorithm extension if none of the
key exchanges enabled needs certificates. This fixes a possible interop
issue with some servers when a zero-length extension was sent. (Reported
by Peter Dettman.)
* On a 0-length input, base64_encode() did not correctly set output length
(found by Hendrik van den Boogaard).
Changes
* Use deterministic nonces for AEAD ciphers in TLS by default (possible to
switch back to random with POLARSSL_SSL_AEAD_RANDOM_IV in config.h).
* Blind RSA private operations even when POLARSSL_RSA_NO_CRT is defined.
* ssl_set_own_cert() now returns an error on key-certificate mismatch.
* Forbid repeated extensions in X.509 certificates.
* debug_print_buf() now prints a text view in addition to hexadecimal.
* A specific error is now returned when there are ciphersuites in common
but none of them is usable due to external factors such as no certificate
with a suitable (extended)KeyUsage or curve or no PSK set.
* It is now possible to disable negotiation of truncated HMAC server-side
at runtime with ssl_set_truncated_hmac().
* Example programs for SSL client and server now disable SSLv3 by default.
* Example programs for SSL client and server now disable RC4 by default.
* Use platform.h in all test suites and programs.
= PolarSSL 1.3.9 released 2014-10-20
Security
* Lowest common hash was selected from signature_algorithms extension in
TLS 1.2 (found by Darren Bane) (introduced in 1.3.8).
* Remotely-triggerable memory leak when parsing some X.509 certificates
(server is not affected if it doesn't ask for a client certificate)
(found using Codenomicon Defensics).

(not affected if ECC support was compiled out) (found using Codenomicon
Defensics).

are defined but not POLARSSL_HAVE_TIME (found by Stephane Di Vito).
* Remove non-existent file from VS projects (found by Peter Vaskovic).
* ssl_read() could return non-application data records on server while
renegotation was pending, and on client when a HelloRequest was received.
* Server-initiated renegotiation would fail with non-blocking I/O if the
write callback returned WANT_WRITE when requesting renegotiation.
* ssl_close_notify() could send more than one message in some circumstances
with non-blocking I/O.
* Fix compiler warnings on iOS (found by Sander Niemeijer).
* x509_crt_parse() did not increase total_failed on PEM error

Vialletelle).
Changes

standard defining how to use SHA-2 with SSL 3.0).
* Ciphersuites using RSA-PSK key exchange new require TLS 1.x (the spec is
ambiguous on how to encode some packets with SSL 3.0).
* Made buffer size in pk_write_(pub)key_pem() more dynamic, eg smaller if
RSA is disabled, larger if POLARSSL_MPI_MAX_SIZE is larger.
* ssl_read() now returns POLARSSL_ERR_NET_WANT_READ rather than
POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_UNEXPECTED_MESSAGE on harmless alerts.
* POLARSSL_MPI_MAX_SIZE now defaults to 1024 in order to allow 8192 bits
RSA keys.
* Accept spaces at end of line or end of buffer in base64_decode().
* X.509 certificates with more than one AttributeTypeAndValue per
RelativeDistinguishedName are not accepted any more.
= PolarSSL 1.3.8 released 2014-07-11

from the default list (inactive by default).
* Add server-side enforcement of sent renegotiation requests
(ssl_set_renegotiation_enforced())
* Add SSL_CIPHERSUITES config.h flag to allow specifying a list of
ciphersuites to use and save some memory if the list is small.
Changes
* Add LINK_WITH_PTHREAD option in CMake for explicit linking that is
required on some platforms (e.g. OpenBSD)
* Migrate zeroizing of data to polarssl_zeroize() instead of memset()
against unwanted compiler optimizations
* md_list() now returns hashes strongest first
* Selection of hash for signing ServerKeyExchange in TLS 1.2 now picks
strongest offered by client.

Heinecke)
* Fix DER output of gen_key app (found by Gergely Budai)
* Very small records were incorrectly rejected when truncated HMAC was in
use with some ciphersuites and versions (RC4 in all versions, CBC with
versions < TLS 1.1).
* Very large records using more than 224 bytes of padding were incorrectly
rejected with CBC-based ciphersuites and TLS >= 1.1
* Very large records using less padding could cause a buffer overread of up
to 32 bytes with CBC-based ciphersuites and TLS >= 1.1
* Restore ability to use a v1 cert as a CA if trusted locally. (This had
been removed in 1.3.6.)
* Restore ability to locally trust a self-signed cert that is not a proper
CA for use as an end entity certificate. (This had been removed in
1.3.6.)
* Fix preprocessor checks for bn_mul PPC asm (found by Barry K. Nathan).
* Use \n\t rather than semicolons for bn_mul asm, since some assemblers
interpret semicolons as comment delimiters (found by Barry K. Nathan).
* Fix off-by-one error in parsing Supported Point Format extension that
caused some handshakes to fail.
* Fix possible miscomputation of the premaster secret with DHE-PSK key
exchange that caused some handshakes to fail with other implementations.
