wolfSSL Release 5.2.0 (Feb 21, 2022)

Release 5.2.0 of wolfSSL embedded TLS has bug fixes and new features including:

Vulnerabilities

  • [High] A TLS v1.3 server who requires mutual authentication can be bypassed. If a malicious client does not send the certificate_verify message a client can connect without presenting a certificate even if the server requires one. Thank you to Aina Toky Rasoamanana and Olivier Levillain of Télécom SudParis.
  • [High] A TLS v1.3 client attempting to authenticate a TLS v1.3 server can have its certificate check bypassed. If the sig_algo in the certificate_verify message is different than the certificate message checking may be bypassed. Thank you to Aina Toky Rasoamanana and Olivier Levillain of Télécom SudParis.

New Feature Additions

  • Example applications for Renesas RX72N with FreeRTOS+IoT
  • Renesas FSP 3.5.0 support for RA6M3
  • For TLS 1.3, improved checks on order of received messages.
  • Support for use of SHA-3 cryptography instructions available in ARMv8.2-A architecture extensions. (For Apple M1)
  • Support for use of SHA-512 cryptography instructions available in ARMv8.2-A architecture extensions. (For Apple M1)
  • Fixes for clang -Os on clang >= 12.0.0
  • Expose Sequence Numbers so that Linux TLS (kTLS) can be configured
  • Fix bug in TLSX_ALPN_ParseAndSet when using ALPN select callback.
  • Allow DES3 with FIPS v5-dev.
  • Include HMAC for deterministic ECC sign build
  • Add --enable-chrony configure option. This sets build options needed to build the Chrony NTP (Network Time Protocol) service.
  • Add support for STM32U575xx boards.
  • Fixes for NXP’s SE050 Ed25519/Curve25519.
  • TLS: Secure renegotiation info on by default for compatibility.
  • Inline C code version of ARM32 assembly for cryptographic algorithms available and compiling for improved performance on ARM platforms
  • Configure HMAC: define NO_HMAC to disable HMAC (default: enabled)
  • ISO-TP transport layer support added to wolfio for TLS over CAN Bus
  • Fix initialization bug in SiLabs AES support
  • Domain and IP check is only performed on leaf certificates

ARM PSA Support (Platform Security Architecture) API

  • Initial support added for ARM’s Platform Security Architecture (PSA) API in wolfCrypt which allows support of ARM PSA enabled devices by wolfSSL, wolfSSH, and wolfBoot and wolfCrypt FIPS.
  • Included algorithms: ECDSA, ECDH, HKDF, AES, SHA1, SHA256, SHA224, RNG

ECICE Updates

  • Support for more encryption algorithms: AES-256-CBC, AES-128-CTR, AES-256-CTR
  • Support for compressed public keys in messages.

Math Improvements

  • Improved performance of X448 and Ed448 through inlining Karatsuba in square and multiplication operations for 128-bit implementation (64-bit platforms with 128-bit type support).
  • SP Math C implementation: fix for corner case in curve specific implementations of Montgomery Reduction (P-256, P-384).
  • SP math all: assembly snippets added for ARM Thumb. Performance improvement on platform.
  • SP math all: ARM64/32 sp_div_word assembly snippets added to remove dependency on __udiv3.
  • SP C implementation: multiplication of two signed types with overflow is undefined in C. Now cast to unsigned type before multiplication is performed.
  • SP C implementation correctly builds when using CFLAG: -m32

OpenSSL Compatibility Layer

  • Added DH_get_2048_256 to compatibility layer.
  • wolfSSLeay_version now returns the version of wolfSSL
  • Added C++ exports for API’s in wolfssl/openssl/crypto.h. This allows better compatibility when building with a C++ compiler.
  • Fix for OpenSSL x509_NAME_hash mismatch
  • Implement FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set in the compat layer.
  • Fix for certreq and certgen options with openssl compatibility
  • wolfSSL_BIO_dump() and wolfSSL_OBJ_obj2txt() rework
  • Fix IV length bug in EVP AES-GCM code.
  • Add new ASN1_INTEGER compatibility functions.
  • Fix wolfSSL_PEM_X509_INFO_read with NO_FILESYSTEM

CMake Updates

  • Check for valid override values.
  • Add KEYGEN option.
  • Cleanup help messages.
  • Add options to support wolfTPM.

VisualStudio Updates

  • Remove deprecated VS solution
  • Fix VS unreachable code warning

New Algorithms and Protocols

  • AES-SIV (RFC 5297)
  • DTLS SRTP (RFC 5764), used with WebRTC to agree on profile for new real-time session keys
  • SipHash MAC/PRF for hash tables. Includes inline assembly for x86_64 and Aarch64.

Remove Obsolete Algorithms

  • IDEA
  • Rabbit
  • HC-128
