mbed TLS ChangeLog (Sorted per branch, date)
+= mbed TLS x.x.x branch released xxxx-xx-xx
+
+API changes
+ * New error code for GCM: MBEDTLS_ERR_GCM_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL.
+ Alternative GCM implementations are expected to verify
+ the length of the provided output buffers and to return the
+ MBEDTLS_ERR_GCM_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL in case the buffer length is too small.
+ * You can configure groups for a TLS key exchange with the new function
+ mbedtls_ssl_conf_groups(). It extends mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves().
+ * Declare a number of structure fields as public: the fields of
+ mbedtls_ecp_curve_info, the fields describing the result of ASN.1 and
+ X.509 parsing, and finally the field fd of mbedtls_net_context on
+ POSIX/Unix-like platforms.
+
+Requirement changes
+ * Sign-magnitude and one's complement representations for signed integers are
+ not supported. Two's complement is the only supported representation.
+
+New deprecations
+ * Deprecate mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves() in favor of the more generic
+ mbedtls_ssl_conf_groups().
+
+Removals
+ * Remove the partial support for running unit tests via Greentea on Mbed OS,
+ which had been unmaintained since 2018.
+
+Features
+ * Enable support for Curve448 via the PSA API. Contributed by
+ Archana Madhavan in #4626. Fixes #3399 and #4249.
+ * The identifier of the CID TLS extension can be configured by defining
+ MBEDTLS_TLS_EXT_CID at compile time.
+ * Implement the PSA multipart AEAD interface, currently supporting
+ ChaChaPoly and GCM.
+ * Warn if errors from certain functions are ignored. This is currently
+ supported on GCC-like compilers and on MSVC and can be configured through
+ the macro MBEDTLS_CHECK_RETURN. The warnings are always enabled
+ (where supported) for critical functions where ignoring the return
+ value is almost always a bug. Enable the new configuration option
+ MBEDTLS_CHECK_RETURN_WARNING to get warnings for other functions. This
+ is currently implemented in the AES, DES and md modules, and will be
+ extended to other modules in the future.
+ * Add missing PSA macros declared by PSA Crypto API 1.0.0:
+ PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH, PSA_ALG_NONE, PSA_HASH_BLOCK_LENGTH, PSA_KEY_ID_NULL.
+ * Add support for CCM*-no-tag cipher to the PSA.
+ Currently only 13-byte long IV's are supported.
+ For decryption a minimum of 16-byte long input is expected.
+ These restrictions may be subject to change.
+ * Add new API mbedtls_ct_memcmp for constant time buffer comparison.
+ * Add functions to get the IV and block size from cipher_info structs.
+ * Add functions to check if a cipher supports variable IV or key size.
+ * Add the internal implementation of and support for CCM to the PSA multipart
+ AEAD interface.
+ * Mbed TLS provides a minimum viable implementation of the TLS 1.3
+ protocol. See docs/architecture/tls13-support.md for the definition of
+ the TLS 1.3 Minimum Viable Product (MVP). The MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3
+ configuration option controls the enablement of the support. The APIs
+ mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version() and mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version() allow
+ to select the 1.3 version of the protocol to establish a TLS connection.
+ * Add PSA API definition for ARIA.
+
+Security
+ * Zeroize several intermediate variables used to calculate the expected
+ value when verifying a MAC or AEAD tag. This hardens the library in
+ case the value leaks through a memory disclosure vulnerability. For
+ example, a memory disclosure vulnerability could have allowed a
+ man-in-the-middle to inject fake ciphertext into a DTLS connection.
+ * In psa_aead_generate_nonce(), do not read back from the output buffer.
+ This fixes a potential policy bypass or decryption oracle vulnerability
+ if the output buffer is in memory that is shared with an untrusted
+ application.
+ * In psa_cipher_generate_iv() and psa_cipher_encrypt(), do not read back
+ from the output buffer. This fixes a potential policy bypass or decryption
+ oracle vulnerability if the output buffer is in memory that is shared with
+ an untrusted application.
+ * Fix a double-free that happened after mbedtls_ssl_set_session() or
+ mbedtls_ssl_get_session() failed with MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_ALLOC_FAILED
+ (out of memory). After that, calling mbedtls_ssl_session_free()
+ and mbedtls_ssl_free() would cause an internal session buffer to
+ be free()'d twice.
+
+Bugfix
+ * Stop using reserved identifiers as local variables. Fixes #4630.
+ * The GNU makefiles invoke python3 in preference to python except on Windows.
+ The check was accidentally not performed when cross-compiling for Windows
+ on Linux. Fix this. Fixes #4774.
+ * Prevent divide by zero if either of PSA_CIPHER_ENCRYPT_OUTPUT_SIZE() or
+ PSA_CIPHER_UPDATE_OUTPUT_SIZE() were called using an asymmetric key type.
+ * Fix a parameter set but unused in psa_crypto_cipher.c. Fixes #4935.
+ * Don't use the obsolete header path sys/fcntl.h in unit tests.
+ These header files cause compilation errors in musl.
+ Fixes #4969.
+ * Fix missing constraints on x86_64 and aarch64 assembly code
+ for bignum multiplication that broke some bignum operations with
+ (at least) Clang 12.
+ Fixes #4116, #4786, #4917, #4962.
+ * Fix mbedtls_cipher_crypt: AES-ECB when MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled.
+ * Failures of alternative implementations of AES or DES single-block
+ functions enabled with MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT_ALT, MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT_ALT,
+ MBEDTLS_DES_CRYPT_ECB_ALT or MBEDTLS_DES3_CRYPT_ECB_ALT were ignored.
+ This does not concern the implementation provided with Mbed TLS,
+ where this function cannot fail, or full-module replacements with
+ MBEDTLS_AES_ALT or MBEDTLS_DES_ALT. Reported by Armelle Duboc in #1092.
+ * Some failures of HMAC operations were ignored. These failures could only
+ happen with an alternative implementation of the underlying hash module.
+ * Fix the error returned by psa_generate_key() for a public key. Fixes #4551.
+ * Fix compile-time or run-time errors in PSA
+ AEAD functions when ChachaPoly is disabled. Fixes #5065.
+ * Remove PSA'a AEAD finish/verify output buffer limitation for GCM.
+ The requirement of minimum 15 bytes for output buffer in
+ psa_aead_finish() and psa_aead_verify() does not apply to the built-in
+ implementation of GCM.
+ * Move GCM's update output buffer length verification from PSA AEAD to
+ the built-in implementation of the GCM.
+ The requirement for output buffer size to be equal or greater then
+ input buffer size is valid only for the built-in implementation of GCM.
+ Alternative GCM implementations can process whole blocks only.
+ * Fix the build of sample programs when neither MBEDTLS_ERROR_C nor
+ MBEDTLS_ERROR_STRERROR_DUMMY is enabled.
+ * Fix PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS verification accepting an arbitrary salt length.
+ This algorithm now accepts only the same salt length for verification
+ that it produces when signing, as documented. Use the new algorithm
+ PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS_ANY_SALT to accept any salt length. Fixes #4946.
+ * The existing predicate macro name PSA_ALG_IS_HASH_AND_SIGN is now reserved
+ for algorithm values that fully encode the hashing step, as per the PSA
+ Crypto API specification. This excludes PSA_ALG_RSA_PKCS1V15_SIGN_RAW and
+ PSA_ALG_ECDSA_ANY. The new predicate macro PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH covers
+ all algorithms that can be used with psa_{sign,verify}_hash(), including
+ these two.
+ * Fix issue in Makefile on Linux with SHARED=1, that caused shared libraries
+ not to list other shared libraries they need.
+ * Fix a bug in mbedtls_gcm_starts() when bits of iv are longer than 2^32.
+ Fixes #4884.
+ * Fix an uninitialized variable warning in test_suite_ssl.function with GCC
+ version 11.
+ * Fix the build when no SHA2 module is included. Fixes #4930.
+ * Fix the build when only the bignum module is included. Fixes #4929.
+ * Fix a potential invalid pointer dereference and infinite loop bugs in
+ pkcs12 functions when the password is empty. Fix the documentation to
+ better describe the inputs to these functions and their possible values.
+ Fixes #5136.
+ * The key usage flags PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_MESSAGE now allows the MAC
+ operations psa_mac_compute() and psa_mac_sign_setup().
+ * The key usage flags PSA_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_MESSAGE now allows the MAC
+ operations psa_mac_verify() and psa_mac_verify_setup().
+
+Changes
+ * Explicitly mark the fields mbedtls_ssl_session.exported and
+ mbedtls_ssl_config.respect_cli_pref as private. This was an
+ oversight during the run-up to the release of Mbed TLS 3.0.
+ The fields were never intended to be public.
+ * Implement multi-part CCM API.
+ The multi-part functions: mbedtls_ccm_starts(), mbedtls_ccm_set_lengths(),
+ mbedtls_ccm_update_ad(), mbedtls_ccm_update(), mbedtls_ccm_finish()
+ were introduced in mbedTLS 3.0 release, however their implementation was
+ postponed until now.
+ Implemented functions support chunked data input for both CCM and CCM*
+ algorithms.
+ * Remove MBEDTLS_SSL_EXPORT_KEYS, making it always on and increasing the
+ code size by about 80B on an M0 build. This option only gated an ability
+ to set a callback, but was deemed unnecessary as it was yet another define
+ to remember when writing tests, or test configurations. Fixes #4653.
+ * Improve the performance of base64 constant-flow code. The result is still
+ slower than the original non-constant-flow implementation, but much faster
+ than the previous constant-flow implementation. Fixes #4814.
+ * Ignore plaintext/ciphertext lengths for CCM*-no-tag operations.
+ For CCM* encryption/decryption without authentication, input
+ length will be ignored.
+ * Indicate in the error returned if the nonce length used with
+ ChaCha20-Poly1305 is invalid, and not just unsupported.
+ * The mbedcrypto library includes a new source code module constant_time.c,
+ containing various functions meant to resist timing side channel attacks.
+ This module does not have a separate configuration option, and functions
+ from this module will be included in the build as required. Currently
+ most of the interface of this module is private and may change at any
+ time.
+ * The generated configuration-independent files are now automatically
+ generated by the CMake build system on Unix-like systems. This is not
+ yet supported when cross-compiling.
