Nettle 3.9.1 release

This is a bugfix release, fixing a few bugs reported for
Nettle-3.9. The bug in the new OCB code may be exploitable for
denial of service or worse, since triggering it leads to
memory corruption. Upgrading from Nettle-3.9 to the new
version is strongly recommended.

The new version is intended to be fully source and binary
compatible with Nettle-3.6. The shared library names are
libnettle.so.8.8 and libhogweed.so.6.8, with sonames
libnettle.so.8 and libhogweed.so.6.

Bug fixes:

* Fix OCB loop for processing messages of size 272 bytes or
  larger. Reported and fixed by Jussi Kivilinna.

* Fix alignment bug in the new x86_64 non-pclmul assembly
  implementation of ghash. Reported by Henrik Grubbström.

* Fix build-time memory leak in eccdata. Reported by Noah
  Watkins.

nettle: update to 3.9.

NEWS for the Nettle 3.9 release

	This release includes bug fixes, several new features, a few
	performance improvements, and one performance regression
	affecting GCM on certain platforms.

	The new version is intended to be fully source and binary
	compatible with Nettle-3.6. The shared library names are
	libnettle.so.8.7 and libhogweed.so.6.7, with sonames
	libnettle.so.8 and libhogweed.so.6.

	This release includes a rewrite of the C implementation of
	GHASH (dating from 2011), as well as the plain x86_64 assembly
	version, to use precomputed tables in a different way, with
	tables always accessed in the same sequential manner.

	This should make Nettle's GHASH implementation side-channel
	silent on all platforms, but considerably slower on platforms
	without carry-less mul instructions. E.g., benchmarks of the C
	implementation on x86_64 showed a slowdown of 3 times.

	Bug fixes:

	* Fix bug in ecdsa and gostdsa signature verify operation, for
	  the unlikely corner case that point addition really is point
	  duplication.

	* Fix for chacha on Power7, nettle's assembly used an
	  instruction only available on later processors. Fixed by
	  Mamone Tarsha.

	* GHASH implementation should now be side-channel silent on
	  all architectures.

	* A few portability fixes for *BSD.

	New features:

	* Support for the SM4 block cipher, contributed by Tianjia
          Zhang.

	* Support for the Balloon password hash, contributed by Zoltan
          Fridrich.

	* Support for SIV-GCM authenticated encryption mode,
          contributed by Daiki Ueno.

	* Support for OCB authenticated encryption mode.

	* New exported functions md5_compress, sha1_compress,
	  sha256_compress, sha512_compress, based on patches from
	  Corentin Labbe.

	Optimizations:

	* Improved sha256 performance, in particular for x86_64 and
	  s390x.

	* Use GMP's mpn_sec_tabselect, which is implemented in
	  assembly on many platforms, and delete the similar nettle
	  function. Gives a modest speedup to all ecc operations.

	* Faster poly1305 for x86_64 and ppc64. New ppc code
	  contributed by Mamone Tarsha.

	Miscellaneous:

	* New ASM_FLAGS variable recognized by configure.

	* Delete all arcfour assembly code. Affects 32-bit x86, 32-bit
	  and 64-bit sparc.

	Known issues:

	* Version 6.2.1 of GNU GMP (the most recent GMP release as of
	  this writing) has a known issue for MacOS on 64-bit ARM: GMP
	  assembly files use the reserved x18 register. On this
	  platform it is recommended to use a GMP snapshot where this
	  bug is fixed, and upgrade to a later GMP release when one
	  becomes available.

	* Also on MacOS, Nettle's testsuite may still break due to
	  DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH being discarded under some circumstances.
	  As a workaround, use

	  make check EMULATOR='env DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(TEST_SHLIB_DIR)'

Log message:
nettle: updated to 3.8.1

Nettle 3.8.1 release

This is a bugfix release, fixing a few portability issues
reported for Nettle-3.8.

Bug fixes:

* Avoid non-posix m4 argument references in the chacha
  implementation for arm64, powerpc64 and s390x. Reported by
  Christian Weisgerber, fix contributed by Mamone Tarsha.

* Use explicit .machine pseudo-ops where needed in s390x
  assembly files. Bug report by Andreas K. Huettel, fix
  contributed by Mamone Tarsha.

Optimizations:

* Implemented runtime detection of cpu features for OpenBSD on
  arm64. Contributed by Christian Weisgerber.

The new version is intended to be fully source and binary
compatible with Nettle-3.6. The shared library names are
libnettle.so.8.6 and libhogweed.so.6.6, with sonames
libnettle.so.8 and libhogweed.so.6.

Log message:
nettle: update to 3.8.

NEWS for the Nettle 3.8 release

	This release includes a couple of new features, and many
	performance improvements. It adds assembly code for two more
	architectures: ARM64 and S390x.

	The new version is intended to be fully source and binary
	compatible with Nettle-3.6. The shared library names are
	libnettle.so.8.5 and libhogweed.so.6.5, with sonames
	libnettle.so.8 and libhogweed.so.6.

	New features:

	* AES keywrap (RFC 3394), contributed by Nicolas Mora.

	* SM3 hash function, contributed by Tianjia Zhang.

	* New functions cbc_aes128_encrypt, cbc_aes192_encrypt,
	  cbc_aes256_encrypt.

	  On processors where AES is fast enough, e.g., x86_64 with
	  aesni instructions, the overhead of using Nettle's general
	  cbc_encrypt can be significant. The new functions can be
	  implemented in assembly, to do multiple blocks with reduced
	  per-block overhead.

	  Note that there's no corresponding new decrypt functions,
	  since the general cbc_decrypt doesn't suffer from the same
	  performance problem.

	Bug fixes:

	* Fix fat builds for x86_64 windows, these appear to never
          have worked.

	Optimizations:

	* New ARM64 implementation of AES, GCM, Chacha, SHA1 and
	  SHA256, for processors supporting crypto extensions. Great
	  speedups, and fat builds are supported. Contributed by
	  Mamone Tarsha.

	* New s390x implementation of AES, GCM, Chacha, memxor, SHA1,
	  SHA256, SHA512 and SHA3. Great speedups, and fat builds are
	  supported. Contributed by Mamone Tarsha.

	* New PPC64 assembly for ecc modulo/redc operations,
	  contributed by Amitay Isaacs, Martin Schwenke and Alastair
	  D´Silva.

	* The x86_64 AES implementation using aesni instructions has
	  been reorganized with one separate function per key size,
	  each interleaving the processing of two blocks at a time
	  (when the caller processes multiple blocks with each call).
	  This gives a modest performance improvement on some
	  processors.

	* Rewritten and faster x86_64 poly1305 assembly.

	Known issues:

	* Nettle's testsuite doesn't work out-of-the-box on recent
	  MacOS, due to /bin/sh discarding the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
	  environment variable. Nettle's test scripts handle this in
	  some cases, but currently fails the test cases that are
	  themselves written as /bin/sh scripts. As a workaround, use

	  make check EMULATOR='env DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(TEST_SHLIB_DIR)'

	Miscellaneous:

	* Updated manual to current makeinfo conventions, with no
	  explicit node pointers. Generate pdf version with texi2pdf,
	  to get working hyper links.

	* Added square root functions for NIST ecc curves, as a
	  preparation for supporting compact point representation.

	* Reworked internal GCM/ghash interfaces, simplifying assembly
	  implementations. Deleted unused GCM C implementation
	  variants with less than 8-bit lookup table.

nettle: updated to 3.7.3

NEWS for the Nettle 3.7.3 release

This is bugfix release, fixing bugs that could make the RSA
decryption functions crash on invalid inputs.

Upgrading to the new version is strongly recommended. For
applications that want to support older versions of Nettle,
the bug can be worked around by adding a check that the RSA
ciphertext is in the range 0 < ciphertext < n, before
attempting to decrypt it.

Thanks to Paul Schaub and Justus Winter for reporting these
problems.

The new version is intended to be fully source and binary
compatible with Nettle-3.6. The shared library names are
libnettle.so.8.4 and libhogweed.so.6.4, with sonames
libnettle.so.8 and libhogweed.so.6.

Bug fixes:

* Fix crash for zero input to rsa_sec_decrypt and
  rsa_decrypt_tr. Potential denial of service vector.

* Ensure that all of rsa_decrypt_tr and rsa_sec_decrypt return
  failure for out of range inputs, instead of either crashing,
  or silently reducing input modulo n. Potential denial of
  service vector.

* Ensure that rsa_decrypt returns failure for out of range
  inputs, instead of silently reducing input modulo n.

* Ensure that rsa_sec_decrypt returns failure if the message
  size is too large for the given key. Unlike the other bugs,
  this would typically be triggered by invalid local
  configuration, rather than by processing untrusted remote
  data.

Log message:
nettle: updated to 3.7.2

NEWS for the Nettle 3.7.2 release

This is a bugfix release, fixing a bug in ECDSA signature
verification that could lead to a denial of service attack
(via an assertion failure) or possibly incorrect results. It
also fixes a few related problems where scalars are required
to be canonically reduced modulo the ECC group order, but in
fact may be slightly larger.

Upgrading to the new version is strongly recommended.

Even when no assert is triggered in ecdsa_verify, ECC point
multiplication may get invalid intermediate values as input,
and produce incorrect results. It's trivial to construct
alleged signatures that result in invalid intermediate values.
It appears difficult to construct an alleged signature that
makes the function misbehave in such a way that an invalid
signature is accepted as valid, but such attacks can't be
ruled out without further analysis.

Thanks to Guido Vranken for setting up the fuzzer tests that
uncovered this problem.

The new version is intended to be fully source and binary
compatible with Nettle-3.6. The shared library names are
libnettle.so.8.3 and libhogweed.so.6.3, with sonames
libnettle.so.8 and libhogweed.so.6.

Bug fixes:

* Fixed bug in ecdsa_verify, and added a corresponding test
  case.

* Similar fixes to ecc_gostdsa_verify and gostdsa_vko.

* Similar fixes to eddsa signatures. The problem is less severe
  for these curves, because (i) the potentially out or range
  value is derived from output of a hash function, making it
  harder for the attacker to to hit the narrow range of
  problematic values, and (ii) the ecc operations are
  inherently more robust, and my current understanding is that
  unless the corresponding assert is hit, the verify
  operation should complete with a correct result.

* Fix to ecdsa_sign, which with a very low probability could
  return out of range signature values, which would be
  rejected immediately by a verifier.

Log message:
nettle: updated to 3.7.1

NEWS for the Nettle 3.7.1 release

This is primarily a bug fix release, fixing a couple of
problems found in Nettle-3.7.

The new version is intended to be fully source and binary
compatible with Nettle-3.6. The shared library names are
libnettle.so.8.2 and libhogweed.so.6.2, with sonames
libnettle.so.8 and libhogweed.so.6.

Bug fixes:

* Fix bug in chacha counter update logic. The problem affected
  ppc64 and ppc64el, with the new altivec assembly code
  enabled. Reported by Andreas Metzler, after breakage in
  GnuTLS tests on ppc64.

* Support for big-endian ARM platforms has been restored.
  Fixes contributed by Michael Weiser.

* Fix build problem on OpenBSD/powerpc64, reported by Jasper
  Lievisse Adriaanse.

* Fix corner case bug in ECDSA verify, it would produce
  incorrect result in the unlikely case of an all-zero
  message hash. Reported by Guido Vranken.

New features:

* Support for pbkdf2_hmac_sha384 and pbkdf2_hmac_sha512,
  contributed by Nicolas Mora.

Miscellaneous:

* Poorly performing ARM Neon code for doing single-block
  Salsa20 and Chacha has been deleted. The code to do two or
  three blocks in parallel, introduced in Nettle-3.7, is
  unchanged.

NEWS for the Nettle 3.7 release

This release adds one new feature, the bcrypt password hashing
function, and lots of optimizations. There's also one
important change to how Nettle is configured: Fat builds are
now on by default.

The release adds PowerPC64 assembly for a few algorithms,
resulting in great speedups. Benchmarked on a Power9 machine,
speedup was 13 times for AES256-CTR and AES256-GCM, and 3.5
times for Chacha. For fat builds (now the default), the new
code is used automatically, on processors supporting the needed
instruction set extensions.

The new version is intended to be fully source and binary
compatible with Nettle-3.6. The shared library names are
libnettle.so.8.1 and libhogweed.so.6.1, with sonames
libnettle.so.8 and libhogweed.so.6.

New features:

* Support for bcrypt, contributed by Stephen R. van den Berg.

Optimizations:

* Much faster AES and GCM on PowerPC64 processors supporting
  the corresponding crypto extensions. Contributed by Mamone
  Tarsha.

* Speed of Chacha improved on PowerPC64, x86_64 and ARM Neon.

* Speed of Salsa20 improved on x86_64 and ARM Neon.

* Overhaul of some elliptic curve primitives, improving ECDSA
  signature speed.

Configure:

* Fat builds are enabled by default on the architectures where
  it is supported (x86_64, arm and powerpc64). To disable
  runtime selection, and instead specify the processor flavor
  at configure time, you need to pass --disable-fat to the
  configure script.

Known issues:

* The ARM assembly code in this release doesn't work correctly
  on big-endian ARM systems. This will hopefully be fixed in a
  later release.

Miscellaneous:

* Use a few more gmp-6.1 functions: mpn_cnd_add_n,
  mpn_cnd_sub_n, mpn_cnd_swap. Delete corresponding internal
  Nettle functions.

* Convert all assembly files to use the default m4 quote
  characters.

Log message:
nettle: updated to 3.6

Nettle 3.6:

This release adds a couple of new features, most notable being
support for ED448 signatures.

It is not binary compatible with earlier releases. The shared
library names are libnettle.so.8.0 and libhogweed.so.6.0, with
sonames nibnettle.so.8 and libhogweed.so.6. The changed
sonames are mainly to avoid upgrade problems with recent
GnuTLS versions, that depend on Nettle internals outside of
the advertised ABI. But also because of the removal of
internal poly1305 functions which were undocumented but
declared in an installed header file, see Interface changes
below.

New features:

* Support for Curve448 and ED448 signatures. Contributed by
  Daiki Ueno.

* Support for SHAKE256 (SHA3 variant with arbitrary output
  size). Contributed by Daiki Ueno.

* Support for SIV-CMAC (Synthetic Initialization Vector) mode,
  contributed by Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos.

* Support for CMAC64, contributed by Dmitry Baryshkov.

* Support for the "CryptoPro" variant of the GOST hash
  function, as gosthash94cp. Contributed by Dmitry Baryshkov.

* Support for GOST DSA signatures, including GOST curves
  gc256b and gc512a. Contributed by Dmitry Baryshkov.

* Support for Intel CET in x86 and x86_64 assembly files, if
  enabled via CFLAGS (gcc --fcf-protection=full). Contributed
  by H.J. Lu and Simo Sorce.

* A few new functions to improve support for the Chacha
  variant with 96-bit nonce and 32-bit block counter (the
  existing functions use nonce and counter of 64-bit each),
  and functions to set the counter. Contributed by Daiki Ueno.

* New interface, struct nettle_mac, for MAC (message
  authentication code) algorithms. This abstraction is only
  for MACs that don't require a per-message nonce. For HMAC,
  the key size is fixed, and equal the digest size of the
  underlying hash function.

Bug fixes:

* Fix bug in cfb8_decrypt. Previously, the IV was not updated
  correctly in the case of input data shorter than the block
  size. Reported by Stephan Mueller, fixed by Daiki Ueno.

* Fix configure check for __builtin_bswap64, the incorrect
  check would result in link errors on platforms missing this
  function. Patch contributed by George Koehler.

* All use of old-fashioned suffix rules in the Makefiles have
  been replaced with %-pattern rules. Nettle's use of suffix
  rules in earlier versions depended on undocumented GNU make
  behavior, which is being deprecated in GNU make 4.3.

  Building with other make programs than GNU make is untested
  and unsupported. (Building with BSD make or Solaris make
  used to work years ago, but has not been tested recently).

Interface changes:

* Declarations of internal poly1305.h functions have been
  removed from the header file poly1305.h, to make it clear
  that they are not part of the advertised API or ABI.

Miscellaneous:

* Building the public key support of nettle now requires GMP
  version 6.1.0 or later (unless --enable-mini-gmp is used).

* A fair amount of changes to ECC internals, with a few
  deleted and a few new fields in the internal struct
  ecc_curve. Files and functions have been renamed to more
  consistently match the curve name, e.g., ecc-256.c has been
  renamed to ecc-secp256r1.c.

* Documentation for chacha-poly1305 updated. It is no longer
  experimental. The implementation was updated to follow RFC
  8439 in Nettle-3.1, but that was not documented or announced
  at the time.
