wolfSSL release version 4.8.0

wolfSSL Release 4.8.0 (July 09, 2021)

Release 4.8.0 of wolfSSL embedded TLS has bug fixes and new features including:

Vulnerabilities

• [Low] OCSP request/response verification issue. In the case that the serial number in the OCSP request differs from the serial number in the OCSP response the error from the comparison was not resulting in a failed verification. We recommend users that have wolfSSL version 4.6.0 and 4.7.0 with OCSP enabled update their version of wolfSSL. Version 4.5.0 and earlier are not affected by this report. Thanks to Rainer, Roee, Barak, Hila and Shoshi (from Cymotive and CARIAD) for the report.
• [Low] CVE-2021-24116: Side-Channel cache look up vulnerability in base64 PEM decoding for versions of wolfSSL 4.5.0 and earlier. Versions 4.6.0 and up contain a fix and do not need to be updated for this report. If decoding a PEM format private key using version 4.5.0 and older of wolfSSL then we recommend updating the version of wolfSSL used. Thanks to Florian Sieck, Jan Wichelmann, Sebastian Berndt and Thomas Eisenbarth for the report.

Vulnerabilities

• [HIGH] CVE-2021-3336: In earlier versions of wolfSSL there exists a potential man in the middle attack on TLS 1.3 clients. Malicious attackers with a privileged network position can impersonate TLS 1.3 servers and bypass authentication. Users that have applications with client side code and have TLS 1.3 turned on, should update to the latest version of wolfSSL. Users that do not have TLS 1.3 turned on, or that are server side only, are NOT affected by this report. For the code change see #3676. Thanks to Aina Toky Rasoamanana and Olivier Levillain from Télécom SudParis for the report.
• [LOW] In the case of using custom ECC curves there is the potential for a crafted compressed ECC key that has a custom prime value to cause a hang when imported. This only affects applications that are loading in ECC keys with wolfSSL builds that have compressed ECC keys and custom ECC curves enabled.
• [LOW] With TLS 1.3 authenticated-only ciphers a section of the server hello could contain 16 bytes of uninitialized data when sent to the connected peer. This affects only a specific build of wolfSSL with TLS 1.3 early data enabled and using authenticated-only ciphers with TLS 1.3.

This release of wolfSSL includes fixes for 6 security vulnerabilities.

wolfSSL version 4.5.0 contains 6 vulnerability fixes: 2 fixes for TLS 1.3,
2 side channel attack mitigations, 1 fix for a potential private key leak
in a specific use case, 1 fix for DTLS.

• In earlier versions of wolfSSL there exists a potential man in the middle
  attack on TLS 1.3 clients. Malicious attackers with a privileged network
  position can impersonate TLS 1.3 servers and bypass authentication. Users
  that have applications with client side code and have TLS 1.3 turned on,
  should update to the latest version of wolfSSL. Users that do not have
  TLS 1.3 turned on, or that are server side only, are NOT affected by this
  report. Thanks to Gerald Doussot from NCC group for the report.
• Denial of service attack on TLS 1.3 servers from repetitively sending
  ChangeCipherSpecs messages. This denial of service results from the
  relatively low effort of sending a ChangeCipherSpecs message versus the
  effort of the server to process that message. Users with TLS 1.3 servers are
  recommended to update to the most recent version of wolfSSL which limits the
  number of TLS 1.3 ChangeCipherSpecs that can be received in order to avoid
  this DoS attack. CVE-2020-12457 was reserved for the report. Thanks to
  Lenny Wang of Tencent Security Xuanwu LAB.
• Potential cache timing attacks on public key operations in builds that are
  not using SP (single precision). Users that have a system where malicious
  agents could execute code on the system, are not using the SP build with
  wolfSSL, and are doing private key operations on the system (such as signing
  with a private key) are recommended to regenerate private keys and update to
  the most recent version of wolfSSL. CVE-2020-15309 is reserved for this
  issue. Thanks to Ida Bruhns from Universität zu Lübeck for the report.
• When using SGX with EC scalar multiplication the possibility of side-channel
  attacks are present. To mitigate the risk of side channel attacks wolfSSL’s
  single precision EC operations should be used instead. Release 4.5.0 turns
  this on be default now with SGX builds and in previous versions of wolfSSL
  this can be turned on by using the WOLFSSL_SP macros. Thank you to
  Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya, Cesar Pereida García and Billy Bob Brumley from
  the Network and Information Security Group (NISEC) at Tampere University for
  the report.
• Leak of private key in the case that PEM format private keys are bundled in
  with PEM certificates into a single file. This is due to the
  misclassification of certificate type versus private key type when parsing
  through the PEM file. To be affected, wolfSSL would need to have been built
  with OPENSSL_EXTRA (--enable-opensslextra). Some build variants such as
  --enable-all and --enable-opensslall also turn on this code path, checking
  wolfssl/options.h for OPENSSL_EXTRA will show if the macro was used with the
  build. If having built with the opensslextra enable option and having placed
  PEM certificates with PEM private keys in the same file when loading up the
  certificate file, then we recommend updating wolfSSL for this use case and
  also recommend regenerating any private keys in the file.
• During the handshake, clear application_data messages in epoch 0 are
  processed and returned to the application. Fixed by dropping received
  application_data messages in epoch 0. Thank you to Paul Fiterau of Uppsala
  University and Robert Merget of Ruhr-University Bochum for the report.

This release of wolfSSL includes a fix for 6 security vulnerabilities.

A fix for having an additional sanity check when parsing certificate domain names was added. This fix checks that the domain name location index is not past the maximum value before setting it. The reported issue affects users that are parsing certificates and have --enable-opensslextra (macro OPENSSL_EXTRA), or build options that turn this on such as --enable-all, when building wolfSSL. The CVE associated with the fix is CVE-2019-18840.

Fix to set a limit on the maximum size of DTLS handshake messages. By default the RFC allows for handshake message sizes of up to 2^24-1 bytes long but in typical field use cases the handshake messages are not this large. Setting a maximum size limit on the handshake message helps avoid a potential DoS attack due to memory being malloc’d. The new default max size is set to handle a certificate chain length of approximately 9, 2048 bit RSA certificates. This only effects builds that have DTLS turned on and have applications that are using DTLS.

Fix for a potential hang when ECC caching is enabled (off by default) and --enable-fastmath is used. ECC caching is off by default and is turned on in builds that are using --enable-all or --enable-fpecc. This issue does not affect builds that are using the macro WOLFSSL_VALIDATE_ECC_IMPORT which turns on validating all ECC keys that are imported. To fix this potential hang case a sanity check on the input values to the internal invmod function was added.

To fix a potential fault injection attack on a wrapper function for wolfCrypt RSA signature generations an additional sanity check verifying the signature after it’s creation was added. This check is already done automatically in current versions of wolfSSL with TLS connections (internal function call of VerifyRsaSign during TLS state machine). The report only affects users making calls to the wolfCrypt function wc_SignatureGenerateHash and does not affect current TLS use cases. Thanks to Daniel Moghimi (@danielmgmi) from Worcester Polytechnic Institute for the report.

Blinding was added for DSA signing operations. The DSA signing uses the BEEA algorithm during modular inversion of the nonce which can potentially leak the nonce through side channels such as cache and power fluctuations. The fix of adding in blinding makes the DSA signing operation more resistant to side channel attacks. Users who have turned on DSA (disabled by default) and are performing signing operations should update. Note that DSA is not used in any TLS connections. Thanks to Daniel Moghimi (@danielmgmi) from Worcester Polytechnic Institute for the report.

Fix to add additional side channel cache attack resistance to the internal ECC function wc_ecc_mulmod_ex. This function by default is used with ECDSA signing operations. Users should update if performing ECDSA singi...

Fix for sanity check on reading TLS 1.3 pre-shared key extension. This fixes a potential for an invalid read when TLS 1.3 and pre-shared keys is enabled. Users without TLS 1.3 enabled are unaffected. Users with TLS 1.3 enabled and HAVE_SESSION_TICKET defined or NO_PSK not defined should update wolfSSL versions. Thanks to Robert Hoerr for the report.

Fix for potential program hang when ocspstapling2 is enabled. This is a moderate level fix that affects users who have ocspstapling2 enabled(off by default) and are on the server side. In parsing a CSR2 (Certificate Status Request v2 ) on the server side, there was the potential for a malformed extension to cause a program hang. Thanks to Robert Hoerr for the report.

Two moderate level fixes involving an ASN.1 over read by one byte. CVE-2019-15651 is for a fix that is due to a potential one byte over read when decoding certificate extensions. CVE-2019-16748 is for a fix on a potential one byte overread with checking certificate signatures. This affects builds that do certificate parsing and do not have the macro NO_SKID defined.Thanks to Yan Jia and the researcher team from Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences for the report.

High level fix for DSA operations involving an attack on recovering DSA private keys. This fix affects users that have DSA enabled and are performing DSA operations (off by default). All users that have DSA enabled and are using DSA keys are advised to regenerate DSA keys and update wolfSSL version. ECDSA is NOT affected by this and TLS code is NOT affected by this issue. Thanks to Ján Jančár for the report.

There is a fix for a potential buffer overflow case with the TLSv1.3 PSK extension parsing. This affects users that are enabling TLSv1.3 (--enable-tls13). Thanks to Robert Hoerr for the report. The CVE associated with the report is CVE-2019-11873.

There is a fix for the potential leak of nonce sizes when performing ECDSA signing operations. The leak is considered to be difficult to exploit but it could potentially be used maliciously to perform a lattice based timing attack against previous wolfSSL versions. ECC operations with --enable-sp and --enable-sp-asm are not affected, users with private ECC keys in other builds that are performing ECDSA signing operations should update versions of wolfSSL along with private ECC keys. Thanks to Ján Jančár from Masaryk University for the report.

This release of wolfSSL includes a fix for 1 security vulnerability.

Medium level fix for potential cache attack with a variant of Bleichenbacher’s attack. Earlier versions of wolfSSL leaked PKCS #1 v1.5 padding information during private key decryption that could lead to a potential padding oracle attack. It is recommended that users update to the latest version of wolfSSL if they have RSA cipher suites enabled and have the potential for malicious software to be ran on the same system that is performing RSA operations. Users that have only ECC cipher suites enabled and are not performing RSA PKCS #1 v1.5 Decryption operations are not vulnerable. Also users with TLS 1.3 only connections are not vulnerable to this attack. Thanks to Eyal Ronen (Weizmann Institute), Robert Gillham (University of Adelaide), Daniel Genkin (University of Michigan), Adi Shamir (Weizmann Institute), David Wong (NCC Group), and Yuval Yarom (University of Adelaide and Data61) for the report.
