*** Description ***

The wolfSSL embedded SSL library (formerly CyaSSL) is a lightweight SSL/TLS library written in ANSI C and targeted for embedded, RTOS, and resource-constrained environments - primarily because of its small size, speed, and feature set. It is commonly used in standard operating environments as well because of its royalty-free pricing and excellent cross platform support. wolfSSL supports industry standards up to the current TLS 1.3 and DTLS 1.2 levels, is up to 20 times smaller than OpenSSL, and offers progressive ciphers such as ChaCha20, Curve25519, NTRU, and Blake2b. User benchmarking and feedback reports dramatically better performance when using wolfSSL over OpenSSL.

wolfSSL is powered by the wolfCrypt library. A version of the wolfCrypt cryptography library has been FIPS 140-2 validated (Certificate #2425). For additional information, visit the wolfCrypt FIPS FAQ (https://www.wolfssl.com/license/fips/) or contact fips@wolfssl.com

*** Why choose wolfSSL? ***

There are many reasons to choose wolfSSL as your embedded SSL solution. Some of the top reasons include size (typical footprint sizes range from 20-100 kB), support for the newest standards (SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2, TLS 1.3, DTLS 1.0, and DTLS 1.2), current and progressive cipher support (including stream ciphers), multi-platform, royalty free, and an OpenSSL compatibility API to ease porting into existing applications which have previously used the OpenSSL package. For a complete feature list, see chapter 4 of the wolfSSL manual. (https://www.wolfssl.com/docs/wolfssl-manual/ch4/)

*** Notes, Please read ***

Note 1) wolfSSL as of 3.6.6 no longer enables SSLv3 by default. wolfSSL also no longer supports static key cipher suites with PSK, RSA, or ECDH. This means if you plan to use TLS cipher suites you must enable DH (DH is on by default), or enable ECC (ECC is on by default), or you must enable static key cipher suites with

WOLFSSL_STATIC_DH
WOLFSSL_STATIC_RSA
  or
WOLFSSL_STATIC_PSK

though static key cipher suites are deprecated and will be removed from future versions of TLS. They also lower your security by removing PFS. Since current NTRU suites available do not use ephemeral keys, WOLFSSL_STATIC_RSA needs to be used in order to build with NTRU suites.

When compiling ssl.c, wolfSSL will now issue a compiler error if no cipher suites are available. You can remove this error by defining WOLFSSL_ALLOW_NO_SUITES in the event that you desire that, i.e., you're not using TLS cipher suites.

Note 2) wolfSSL takes a different approach to certificate verification than OpenSSL does. The default policy for the client is to verify the server, this means that if you don't load CAs to verify the server you'll get a connect error, no signer error to confirm failure (-188).

If you want to mimic OpenSSL behavior of having SSL_connect succeed even if verifying the server fails and reducing security you can do this by calling:

wolfSSL_CTX_set_verify(ctx, SSL_VERIFY_NONE, 0);

before calling wolfSSL_new();. Though it's not recommended.

Note 3) The enum values SHA, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512 are no longer available when wolfSSL is built with --enable-opensslextra (OPENSSL_EXTRA) or with the macro NO_OLD_SHA_NAMES. These names get mapped to the OpenSSL API for a single call hash function. Instead the name WC_SHA, WC_SHA256, WC_SHA384 and WC_SHA512 should be used for the enum name.

wolfSSL Release 4.3.0 (12/20/2019)

If you have questions about this release, then feel free to contact us on our info@ address.

Release 4.3.0 of wolfSSL embedded TLS has bug fixes and new features including:

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 singing operations (server side ECC TLS connections, mutual authentication on client side) or calling wolfCrypt ECC sign functions and have the potential for outside users to perform sophisticated monitoring of the cache.Thanks to Daniel Moghimi (@danielmgmi) from Worcester Polytechnic Institute for the report.
