When parsing a substructure of an ASN.1 structure, no field within
the substructure must exceed the bounds of the substructure.
Concretely, the `end` pointer passed to the ASN.1 parsing routines
must be updated to point to the end of the substructure while parsing
the latter.
This was previously not the case for the routines
- x509_get_attr_type_and_value(),
- mbedtls_x509_get_crt_ext(),
- mbedtls_x509_get_crl_ext().
These functions kept using the end of the parent structure as the
`end` pointer and would hence allow substructure fields to cross
the substructure boundary. This could lead to successful parsing
of ill-formed X.509 CRTs.
This commit fixes this.
Care has to be taken when adapting `mbedtls_x509_get_crt_ext()`
and `mbedtls_x509_get_crl_ext()`, as the underlying function
`mbedtls_x509_get_ext()` returns `0` if no extensions are present
but doesn't set the variable which holds the bounds of the Extensions
structure in case the latter is present. This commit addresses
this by returning early from `mbedtls_x509_get_crt_ext()` and
`mbedtls_x509_get_crl_ext()` if parsing has reached the end of
the input buffer.
The following X.509 parsing tests need to be adapted:
- "TBSCertificate, issuer two inner set datas"
This test exercises the X.509 CRT parser with a Subject name
which has two empty `AttributeTypeAndValue` structures.
This is supposed to fail with `MBEDTLS_ERR_ASN1_OUT_OF_DATA`
because the parser should attempt to parse the first structure
and fail because of a lack of data. Previously, it failed to
obey the (0-length) bounds of the first AttributeTypeAndValue
structure and would try to interpret the beginning of the second
AttributeTypeAndValue structure as the first field of the first
AttributeTypeAndValue structure, returning an UNEXPECTED_TAG error.
- "TBSCertificate, issuer, no full following string"
This test exercises the parser's behaviour on an AttributeTypeAndValue
structure which contains more data than expected; it should therefore
fail with MBEDTLS_ERR_ASN1_LENGTH_MISMATCH. Because of the missing bounds
check, it previously failed with UNEXPECTED_TAG because it interpreted
the remaining byte in the first AttributeTypeAndValue structure as the
first byte in the second AttributeTypeAndValue structure.
- "SubjectAltName repeated"
This test should exercise two SubjectAltNames extensions in succession,
but a wrong length values makes the second SubjectAltNames extension appear
outside of the Extensions structure. With the new bounds in place, this
therefore fails with a LENGTH_MISMATCH error. This commit adapts the test
data to put the 2nd SubjectAltNames extension inside the Extensions
structure, too.

The X.509 parsing test suite test_suite_x509parse contains a test
exercising X.509 verification for a valid MD4/MD5 certificate in a
profile which doesn't allow MD4/MD5. This commit adds an analogous
test for MD2.
This commit introduces a new SSL error code
`MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_VERSION_MISMATCH`
which can be used to indicate operation failure due to a
mismatch of version or configuration.
It is put to use in the implementation of `mbedtls_ssl_session_load()`
to signal the attempt to de-serialize a session which has been serialized
in a build of Mbed TLS using a different version or configuration.
This commit improves the test exercising the behaviour of
session deserialization when facing an unexpected version
or config, by testing ver/cfg corruption at any bit in the
ver/cfg header of the serialized data; previously, it had
only tested the first bit of each byte.
The size of the ticket used in this test dropped from 192 to 143 bytes, so
move all sizes used in this test down 50 bytes. Also, we now need to adapt the
server response size as the default size would otherwise collide with the new
mtu value.
We have explicit recommendations to use US spelling for technical writing, so
let's apply this to code as well for uniformity. (My fingers tend to prefer UK
spelling, so this needs to be fixed in many places.)

This test works regardless of the serialisation format and embedded pointers
in it, contrary to the load-save test, though it requires more maintenance of
the test code (sync the member list with the struct definition).
This uncovered a bug that led to a double-free (in practice, in general could
be free() on any invalid value): initially the session structure is loaded
with `memcpy()` which copies the previous values of pointers peer_cert and
ticket to heap-allocated buffers (or any other value if the input is
attacker-controlled). Now if we exit before we got a chance to replace those
invalid values with valid ones (for example because the input buffer is too
small, or because the second malloc() failed), then the next call to
session_free() is going to call free() on invalid pointers.
This bug is fixed in this commit by always setting the pointers to NULL right
after they've been read from the serialised state, so that the invalid values
can never be used.
(An alternative would be to NULL-ify them when writing, which was rejected
mostly because we need to do it when reading anyway (as the consequences of
free(invalid) are too severe to take any risk), so doing it when writing as
well is redundant and a waste of code size.)
Also, while thinking about what happens in case of errors, it became apparent
to me that it was bad practice to leave the session structure in an
half-initialised state and rely on the caller to call session_free(), so this
commit also ensures we always clear the structure when loading failed.
This test appeared to be passing for the wrong reason, it's not actually not
appropriate for the current implementation. The serialised data contains
values of pointers to heap-allocated buffers. There is no reason these should
be identical after a load-save pair. They just happened to be identical when I
first ran the test due to the place of session_free() in the test code and the
fact that the libc's malloc() reused the same buffers. The test no longer
passes if other malloc() implementations are used (for example, when compiling
with asan which avoids re-using the buffer, probably for better error
detection).
So, disable this test for now (we can re-enable it when we changed how
sessions are serialised, which will be done in a future PR, hence the name of
the dummy macro in depends_on). In the next commit we're going to add a test
that save-load is the identity instead - which will be more work in testing as
it will require checking each field manually, but at least is reliable.
This initial test ensures that a load-save function is the identity. It is so
far incomplete in that it only tests sessions without tickets or certificate.
This will be improved in the next commits.
When running make with parallelization, running both "clean" and "lib"
with a single make invocation can lead to each target building in
parallel. It's bad if lib is partially done building something, and then
clean deletes what was built. This can lead to errors later on in the
lib target.
