Newer versions of FIPS don't need any special casing in our bindings,
unlike the submoduled boringssl-fips. In addition, many users currently
use FIPS by precompiling BoringSSL with the proper build tools and
passing that in to the bindings.
Until we adopt the Update Stream pattern for FIPS, there are two main
use cases:
1. Passing an unmodified, precompiled FIPS validated version of
boringssl (fips-precompiled)
2. Passing a custom source directory of boringssl meant to be linked
with a FIPS validated bcm.o. This is mainly useful if you carry
custom patches but still want to use a FIPS validated BoringCrypto.
(fips-link-precompiled)
This commit introduces the `fips-precompiled` feature and removes the
`fips-no-compat` feature.
The "fips" feature implies use of a prebuilt boringSSL. The boringSSL
API consumed by `SslCurve` in incompatible with older versions of
boringSSL.
In the `ffi` bindings, the following symbols don't exist in older
builds:
* NID_X25519MLKEM768
* SSL_CURVE_X25519_MLKEM768
* NID_X25519Kyber768Draft00Old
The following symbols have been renamed:
* SSL_CURVE_P256KYBER768DRAFT00 => SSL_CURVE_P256_KYBER768_DRAFT00
* SSL_CURVE_X25519KYBER512DRAFT00 => SSL_CURVE_X25519_KYBER512_DRAFT00
* SSL_CURVE_X25519KYBER768DRAFT00OLD => SSL_CURVE_X25519_KYBER768_DRAFT00_OLD
* SSL_CURVE_P256KYBER768DRAFT00 => SSL_CURVE_P256_KYBER768_DRAFT00
Meanwhile, the `ssl_set_curves_list()` API is stable across these
versions of boringSSL.
These codepoints are added to the `SslCurve` API whenever
"pq-experimental" is enabled. Since this feature is no longer mutually
exclusive with prebuilt boringSSL (`boring-sys` just ignores patches),
we also need to disable this API whenever "fips" is enabled.
Modify the "fips" feature so that it no longer implies "fips-compat".
The latter is no longer needed for recent builds of boringSSL; users who
need older builds will need to enable "fips-compat" explicitly.
Also, remove the "fipps-no-compat" feature, as it's now equivalent to
"fips".
As of boringSSL commit a430310d6563c0734ddafca7731570dfb683dc19, we no
longer need to make exceptions for the types of BufLen, ProtosLen, and
ValueLen, which means the "fips-compat" feature is no longer needed for
"fips" users.
Currently "fips" implies "fips-compat". To allow users to upgrade
without breaking API compatibility with boring version 4, add a new
feature, "fips-no-compat", that does not imply "fips-compat".
In boring 5, we should remove "fips-no-compat" and decouple
"fips-compat" from "fips".
This algorithm is advertised with "kx-client-pq-supported" but not with
"preferred". However the algorithm is wide spread enough that preferring
it is not a significant risk.
See https://github.com/sfackler/rust-openssl/pull/2360 and
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-24898. From the rust-openssl
PR:
`SSL_select_next_proto` can return a pointer into either the client or
server buffers, but the type signature of the function previously only
bound the output buffer to the client buffer. This can result in a UAF
in situations where the server slice does not point to a long-lived
allocation.
Thanks to Matt Mastracci for reporting this issue.
Previously, set_ech_keys would consume the SslEchKeys struct to enforce
the requirement that the struct is immutable after initializing it on a
SSL_CTX. The problem with this is that it requires applications to
needlessly reallocate the SslEchKeys struct if they want to initialize
keys on multiple SSL_CTXs, which is a pretty common pattern. To work
around this, we introduce a builder (SslEchKeysBuilder) that requires
mutable access to add keys to the underlying struct. set_ech_keys takes
in a reference to SslEchKeys, which can only be made via consuming the
builder.
We currently expose this method on `SslContextBuilder`, which is fine
for bootstrapping an `SSL_CTX`, but subsequent attempts to set ECH keys
(like during key rotation) can only happen via `SslContextRef`. Also
update the method on the builder to take an immutable reference to self
because the API is thread safe.
X25519MLKEM768 is the standardised successor of the preliminary
X25519Kyber768Draft00. Latest browsers have switched to X25519MLKEM768.
Cloudflare supports both on the edge.
We've had support for X25519MLKEM768 in this crate for a while, but
didn't enable by default. We're now enabling serverside support by
default. We also let clients advertise support when set
to kx-client-pq-supported.
We don't enable support by default yet for clients set to
kx-client-pq-preferred, as that would cause an extra round-trip due to
HelloRetryRequest if the server doesn't support X25519MLKEM768 yet.
BoringSSL against which we build must support X25519MLKEM768, otherwise
this will fail.
This adds a feature to build against a BoringSSL version compatible with
the current boringssl-fips, but _without_ actually enabling the `fips`
feature.
This can be useful to use with `fips-link-precompiled` while using a
custom BoringSSL version based on the older FIPS branch.
set_surves_list is similar to set_curves, but the curves are specified
by a string. This makes it convenient when the supported curves of
the underlying BoringSSL is not known at compile time.
Also fix a bug in checking return value of SSL_set1_curves_list.
Our rustdocs are miserably broken. We manually link to openssl docs in
most binding definitions, and openssl keeps changing their documentation
URL, so in order to fix everything I'd have to touch every single
binding definition in every single file. Instead, we should use the
`corresponds` macro from the openssl-macros crate which nicely adds a
link to the openssl documentation on our behalf. If the openssl
documentation url ever changes again in the future, a simple dependency
bump should solve the issue.
We previously added an `SslCurveId` struct to house SSL_CURVE variants of
the internal NID constants, to allow `SslRef::curve()` to properly
instantiate `SslCurve` structures. This was done to ensure
`SslRef::set_curves()` did not break, as it expects the internal NID
constants instead of the public SSL_CURVE ones. In future versions of
boringssl, this problem is solved by virtue of the
SSL_CTX_set1_group_ids API. Since we don't have this yet, this commit
adds `SslCurve::nid()` so `SslRef::set_curves()` can convert the
SSL_CURVE constants to the NID representation internally
without breaking the public API.
Some functions use the NID_* constants, and some use the SSL_CURVE_* ones.
Extract from the documentation:
> Where NIDs are unstable constants specific to OpenSSL and BoringSSL, group IDs are defined by the TLS protocol. Prefer the group ID representation if storing persistently, or exporting to another process or library.
Fix three potential timing sidechannels. These don't affect ephemeral
usage of Kyber as in TLS, but it's good practice to get rid of them anyway.
Also adds IPDWing, a preliminary version of X-Wing using the initial public
draft (IPD) of ML-KEM. Don't use it.
The client sent ciphers in the ClientHello are unparsed and thus require
the user to convert u16s into SslCipher instances. It could be worth
doing this parsing in the library itself to make things consistent and
always return a StackRef<SslCipher>.
