The previous calls to memset() were added to tear_down() when I noticed the
test spuriously failing in opt mode, with different results each time. This
appeared to be because the allocator zeros out memory in debug mode, but not
in opt mode. Since the heartbeat functions silently drop the request on error
without modifying the contents of the write buffer, whatever random contents
were in memory before being reallocated to the write buffer used in the test
would cause nondeterministic test failures in the Heartbleed regression cases.
Adding these calls allowed the test to pass in both debug and opt modes.
Ben Laurie notified me offline that the test was aborting in
debug-ben-debug-64-clang mode, configured with GitConfigure and built with
GitMake. Looking into this, I realized the first memset() call was zeroing out
a reference count used by SSL_free() that was checked in
debug-ben-debug-64-clang mode but not in the normal debug mode.
Removing the memset() calls from tear_down() and adding a memset() for the
write buffer in set_up() addresses the issue and allows the test to
successfully execute in debug, opt, and debug-ben-debug-64-clang modes.
Replace manual ASN.1 decoder with ASN1_get object. This
will decode the tag and length properly and check against
it does not exceed the supplied buffer length.
PR#3335
A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
server.
Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
(cherry picked from commit 96db9023b8)
Security callback: selects which parameters are permitted including
sensible defaults based on bits of security.
The "parameters" which can be selected include: ciphersuites,
curves, key sizes, certificate signature algorithms, supported
signature algorithms, DH parameters, SSL/TLS version, session tickets
and compression.
In some cases prohibiting the use of a parameters will mean they are
not advertised to the peer: for example cipher suites and ECC curves.
In other cases it will abort the handshake: e.g DH parameters or the
peer key size.
Documentation to follow...
New function ssl_cipher_disabled.
Check for disabled client ciphers using ssl_cipher_disabled.
New function to return only supported ciphers.
New option to ciphers utility to print only supported ciphers.
Add auto DH parameter support. This is roughly equivalent to the
ECDH auto curve selection but for DH. An application can just call
SSL_CTX_set_auto_dh(ctx, 1);
and appropriate DH parameters will be used based on the size of the
server key.
Unlike ECDH there is no way a peer can indicate the range of DH parameters
it supports. Some peers cannot handle DH keys larger that 1024 bits for
example. In this case if you call:
SSL_CTX_set_auto_dh(ctx, 2);
Only 1024 bit DH parameters will be used.
If the server key is 7680 bits or more in size then 8192 bit DH parameters
will be used: these will be *very* slow.
The old export ciphersuites aren't supported but those are very
insecure anyway.
Don't clear verification errors from the error queue unless
SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_CLEAR_ERROR is set.
If errors occur during verification and SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_IGNORE_ERROR
is set return 2 so applications can issue warnings.
(cherry picked from commit 2dd6976f6d)
Although the memory allocated by compression methods is fixed and
cannot grow over time it can cause warnings in some leak checking
tools. The function SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods() will free
and zero the list of supported compression methods. This should
*only* be called in a single threaded context when an application
is shutting down to avoid interfering with existing contexts
attempting to look up compression methods.
(cherry picked from commit 976c58302b)
New flags to build certificate chains. The can be used to rearrange
the chain so all an application needs to do is add all certificates
in arbitrary order and then build the chain to check and correct them.
Add verify error code when building chain.
Update docs.
The flag SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING hasn't done anything since OpenSSL
0.9.7h but deleting it will break source compatibility with any software
that references it. Restore it but #define to zero.
