The basis for the Lucky 13 family of attacks is for an attacker to be able to
distinguish between (long) valid TLS-CBC padding and invalid TLS-CBC padding.
Since our code sets padlen = 0 for invalid padding, the length of the input to
the HMAC function gives information about that.
Information about this length (modulo the MD/SHA block size) can be deduced
from how much MD/SHA padding (this is distinct from TLS-CBC padding) is used.
If MD/SHA padding is read from a (static) buffer, a local attacker could get
information about how much is used via a cache attack targeting that buffer.
Let's get rid of this buffer. Now the only buffer used is the internal MD/SHA
one, which is always read fully by the process() function.
The CONTRIBUTING.md referred to 'legacy' branches instead of LTS branches, and
also referenced mbedtls-1.3 which is no longer maintained, and omitted
mbedtls-2.7 which is.
Fix Documentation error in `mbedtls_ssl_get_session`.
This function supports deep copying of the session,
and the peer certificate is not lost anymore, Resolves#926
Move definition of `MBEDTLS_CIPHER_MODE_STREAM` to header file
(`mbedtls_cipher_internal.h`), because it is used by more than
one file. Raised by TrinityTonic in #1719
1. Update the test script to un the ECC tests only if the relevant
configurations are defined in `config.h` file
2. Change the HASH of the ciphersuite from SHA1 based to SHA256
for better example
The run-test-suites.pl script was executing all files of the form 'test_suite*'
which were either executable or ended with a .exe extension.
On some filesystems, such as through network shares or VMs, which are
abstracting one set of file permissions to Unix permissions, may set the
executable permissions on all files, whether they're executable or not.
That was leading to the run-test-suites.pl script to attempt to execute the .c
intermediate files because they followed the form 'test_suite_*.c'. This change
now excludes them, just in case they accidentally have execute permissions.
