The fact that self-signed end-entity certs can be explicitly trusted by
putting them in the CA list even if they don't have the CA bit was not
documented though it's intentional, and tested by "Certificate verification #73
(selfsigned trusted without CA bit)" in test_suite_x509parse.data
It is unclear to me whether the restriction that explicitly trusted end-entity
certs must be self-signed is a good one. However, it seems intentional as it is
tested in tests #42 and #43, so I'm not touching it for now.
There are situations in which it is not clear what message to expect
next. For example, the message following the ServerHello might be
either a Certificate, a ServerKeyExchange or a CertificateRequest. We
deal with this situation in the following way: Initially, the message
processing function for one of the allowed message types is called,
which fetches and decodes a new message. If that message is not the
expected one, the function returns successfully (instead of throwing
an error as usual for unexpected messages), and the handshake
continues to the processing function for the next possible message. To
not have this function fetch a new message, a flag in the SSL context
structure is used to indicate that the last message was retained for
further processing, and if that's set, the following processing
function will not fetch a new record.
This commit simplifies the usage of this message-retaining parameter
by doing the check within the record-fetching routine instead of the
specific message-processing routines. The code gets cleaner this way
and allows retaining messages to be used in other situations as well
without much effort. This will be used in the next commits.
* hanno/sig_hash_compatibility:
Improve documentation
Split long lines
Remember suitable hash function for any signature algorithm.
Introduce macros and functions to characterize certain ciphersuites.
Note that the configuration structure must remain accessible. The
previous wording could have been taken as implying that it's ok to
change the structure but changes wouldn't be taken into account.
Also note that calling this function twice is not supported (it would
at least be a memory leak).
According to RFC5246 the server can indicate the known Certificate
Authorities or can constrain the aurhorisation space by sending a
certificate list. This part of the message is optional and if omitted,
the client may send any certificate in the response.
The previous behaviour of mbed TLS was to always send the name of all the
CAs that are configured as root CAs. In certain cases this might cause
usability and privacy issues for example:
- If the list of the CA names is longer than the peers input buffer then
the handshake will fail
- If the configured CAs belong to third parties, this message gives away
information on the relations to these third parties
Therefore we introduce an option to suppress the CA list in the
Certificate Request message.
Providing this feature as a runtime option comes with a little cost in
code size and advantages in maintenance and flexibility.
This commit changes `ssl_parse_signature_algorithms_ext` to remember
one suitable ( := supported by client and by our config ) hash
algorithm per signature algorithm.
It also modifies the ciphersuite checking function
`ssl_ciphersuite_match` to refuse a suite if there
is no suitable hash algorithm.
Finally, it adds the corresponding entry to the ChangeLog.
Fix an incorrect condition in ssl_check_ctr_renegotiate() that compared
64 bits of record counter instead of 48 bits as described in RFC 6347
Section 4.3.1. This would cause the function's return value to be
occasionally incorrect and the renegotiation routines to be triggered
at unexpected times.

The library/net.c and its corresponding include/mbedtls/net.h file are
renamed to library/net_sockets.c and include/mbedtls/net_sockets.h
respectively. This is to avoid naming collisions in projects which also
have files with the common name 'net'.
The callback typedefs defined for mbedtls_ssl_set_bio() and
mbedtls_ssl_set_timer_cb() were not used consistently where the callbacks were
referenced in structures or in code.
- document why we made that choice
- remove the two TODOs about checking hash and CA
- remove the code that parsed certificate_type: it did nothing except store
the selected type in handshake->cert_type, but that field was never accessed
afterwards. Since handshake_params is now an internal type, we can remove that
field without breaking the ABI.
The previous documentation was not explicit about what was expected of the
callbacks - the user had to infer that from the descriptions in net.h or
timing.h, and it was not clear what was part of the calling convention and
what was specific to our implementation.
When the peer retransmits a flight with many record in the same datagram, and
we already saw one of the records in that datagram, we used to drop the whole
datagram, resulting in interoperability failure (spurious handshake timeouts,
due to ignoring record retransmitted by the peer) with some implementations
(issues with Chrome were reported).
So in those cases, we want to only drop the current record, and look at the
following records (if any) in the same datagram. OTOH, this is not something
we always want to do, as sometime the header of the current record is not
reliable enough.
This commit introduces a new return code for ssl_parse_header() that allows to
distinguish if we should drop only the current record or the whole datagram,
and uses it in mbedtls_ssl_read_record()
fixes#345
fixes#310
Actually all key exchanges that use a certificate use signatures too, and
there is no key exchange that uses signatures but no cert, so merge those two
flags.
