      Rearrange the inclusion of curve448/curve448_lcl.h · f408e2a3
      Richard Levitte authored
      
      
      The real cause for this change is that test/ec_internal_test.c
      includes ec_lcl.h, and including curve448/curve448_lcl.h from there
      doesn't work so well with compilers who always do inclusions relative
      to the C file being compiled.

      Ensure bn_cmp_words can handle the case where n == 0 · df2cb82a
      Matt Caswell authored
      
      
      Thanks to David Benjamin who reported this, performed the analysis and
      suggested the patch. I have incorporated some of his analysis in the
      comments below.
      
      This issue can cause an out-of-bounds read. It is believed that this was
      not reachable until the recent "fixed top" changes. Analysis has so far
      only identified one code path that can encounter this - although it is
      possible that others may be found. The one code path only impacts 1.0.2 in
      certain builds. The fuzzer found a path in RSA where iqmp is too large. If
      the input is all zeros, the RSA CRT logic will multiply a padded zero by
      iqmp. Two mitigating factors:
      
      - Private keys which trip this are invalid (iqmp is not reduced mod p).
      Only systems which take untrusted private keys care.
      - In OpenSSL 1.1.x, there is a check which rejects the oversize iqmp,
      so the bug is only reproducible in 1.0.2 so far.
      
      Fortunately, the bug appears to be relatively harmless. The consequences of
      bn_cmp_word's misbehavior are:
      
      - OpenSSL may crash if the buffers are page-aligned and the previous page is
      non-existent.
      - OpenSSL will incorrectly treat two BN_ULONG buffers as not equal when they
      are equal.
      - Side channel concerns.
      
      The first is indeed a concern and is a DoS bug. The second is fine in this
      context. bn_cmp_word and bn_cmp_part_words are used to compute abs(a0 - a1)
      in Karatsuba. If a0 = a1, it does not matter whether we use a0 - a1 or
      a1 - a0. The third would be worth thinking about, but it is overshadowed
      by the entire Karatsuba implementation not being constant time.
      
      Due to the difficulty of tripping this and the low impact no CVE is felt
      necessary for this issue.

      Don't restrict the number of KeyUpdate messages we can process · f6d64b51
      Matt Caswell authored
      
      
      Prior to this commit we were keeping a count of how many KeyUpdates we
      have processed and failing if we had had too many. This simplistic approach
      is not sufficient for long running connections. Since many KeyUpdates
      would not be a particular good DoS route anyway, the simplest solution is
      to simply remove the key update count.

      It was reported that there might be a null pointer dereference in the
      implementation of the dasync_aes_128_cbc_hmac_sha1() cipher, because
      EVP_aes_128_cbc_hmac_sha1() can return a null pointer if AES-NI is
      not available. It took some analysis to find out that this is not
      an issue in practice, and these comments explain the reason to comfort
      further NPD hunters.

      Test for constant-time flag leakage in BN_CTX · 3c97136e
      Nicola Tuveri authored
      This commit adds a simple unit test to make sure that the constant-time
      flag does not "leak" among BN_CTX frames:
      
      - test_ctx_consttime_flag() initializes (and later frees before
        returning) a BN_CTX object, then it calls in sequence
        test_ctx_set_ct_flag() and test_ctx_check_ct_flag() using the same
        BN_CTX object. The process is run twice, once with a "normal"
        BN_CTX_new() object, then with a BN_CTX_secure_new() one.
      - test_ctx_set_ct_flag() starts a frame in the given BN_CTX and sets the
        BN_FLG_CONSTTIME flag on some of the BIGNUMs obtained from the frame
        before ending it.
      - test_ctx_check_ct_flag() then starts a new frame and gets a number of
        BIGNUMs from it. In absence of leaks, none of the BIGNUMs in the new
        frame should have BN_FLG_CONSTTIME set.
      
      In actual BN_CTX usage inside libcrypto the leak could happen at any
      depth level in the BN_CTX stack, with varying results depending on the
      patterns of sibling trees of nested function calls sharing the same
      BN_CTX object, and the effect of unintended BN_FLG_CONSTTIME on the
      called BN_* functions.
      
      This simple unit test abstracts away this complexity and verifies that
      the leak does not happen between two sibling functions sharing the same
      BN_CTX object at the same level of nesting.

      SCA hardening for mod. field inversion in EC_GROUP · 48e82c8e
      Billy Brumley authored
      
      
      This commit adds a dedicated function in `EC_METHOD` to access a modular
      field inversion implementation suitable for the specifics of the
      implemented curve, featuring SCA countermeasures.
      
      The new pointer is defined as:
      `int (*field_inv)(const EC_GROUP*, BIGNUM *r, const BIGNUM *a, BN_CTX*)`
      and computes the multiplicative inverse of `a` in the underlying field,
      storing the result in `r`.
      
      Three implementations are included, each including specific SCA
      countermeasures:
        - `ec_GFp_simple_field_inv()`, featuring SCA hardening through
          blinding.
        - `ec_GFp_mont_field_inv()`, featuring SCA hardening through Fermat's
          Little Theorem (FLT) inversion.
        - `ec_GF2m_simple_field_inv()`, that uses `BN_GF2m_mod_inv()` which
          already features SCA hardening through blinding.
      
      From a security point of view, this also helps addressing a leakage
      previously affecting conversions from projective to affine coordinates.
      
      This commit also adds a new error reason code (i.e.,
      `EC_R_CANNOT_INVERT`) to improve consistency between the three
      implementations as all of them could fail for the same reason but
      through different code paths resulting in inconsistent error stack
      states.

      Fix -verify_return_error in s_client · 9c931841
      Matt Caswell authored
      
      
      The "verify_return_error" option in s_client is documented as:
      
       Return verification errors instead of continuing. This will typically
       abort the handshake with a fatal error.
      
      In practice this option was ignored unless also accompanied with the
      "-verify" option. It's unclear what the original intention was. One fix
      could have been to change the documentation to match the actual behaviour.
      However it seems unecessarily complex and unexpected that you should need
      to have both options. Instead the fix implemented here is make the option
      match the documentation so that "-verify" is not also required.
      
      Note that s_server has a similar option where "-verify" (or "-Verify") is
      still required. This makes more sense because those options additionally
      request a certificate from the client. Without a certificate there is no
      possibility of a verification failing, and so "-verify_return_error" doing
      nothing seems ok.

      Don't signal SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START for TLSv1.3 post-handshake messages · 37857e9b
      Matt Caswell authored
      
      
      The original 1.1.1 design was to use SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START and
      SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_DONE to signal start/end of a post-handshake message
      exchange in TLSv1.3. Unfortunately experience has shown that this confuses
      some applications who mistake it for a TLSv1.2 renegotiation. This means
      that KeyUpdate messages are not handled properly.
      
      This commit removes the use of SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START and
      SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_DONE to signal the start/end of a post-handshake
      message exchange. Individual post-handshake messages are still signalled in
      the normal way.
      
      This is a potentially breaking change if there are any applications already
      written that expect to see these TLSv1.3 events. However, without it,
      KeyUpdate is not currently usable for many applications.

      Configure: stop forcing use of DEFINE macros in headers · cd272eee
      Richard Levitte authored
      
      
      There are times when one might want to use something like
      DEFINE_STACK_OF in a .c file, because it defines a stack for a type
      defined in that .c file.  Unfortunately, when configuring with
      `--strict-warnings`, clang aggressively warn about unused functions in
      such cases, which forces the use of such DEFINE macros to header
      files.
      
      We therefore disable this warning from the `--strict-warnings`
      definition for clang.
