Fixed wc_AesEaxAuthDataUpdate to check eax for NULL before
dereferencing.
Fix AesSivCipher to delete/free AES if new/initialization succeeded.
Memsetting to 0 doesn't work when WC_DEBUG_CIPHER_LIFECYCLE is defined.
Added tests for:
- AES-EAX streaming
- AES-SIV
- Poly1305
- DES-CBC
* implement legacy compatibility in settings.h and configure.ac (adds --enable-blake2b while retaining --enable-blake2);
* fix incorrect Blake2 gates in wolfcrypt/src/hash.c wc_HashGetDigestSize() and wc_HashGetBlockSize();
* in wolfcrypt/test/test.c hash_test(), backfill missing Blake2 test coverage and separate blake2b from blake2s in typesHashBad[];
* in tests/api/test_hash.c, separate blake2b from blake2s in notCompiledHash[], sizeSupportedHash[], and sizeNotCompiledHash[].
wc_ecc_import_x963_ex2 only checked whether an imported public point
lies on the intended curve when both USE_ECC_B_PARAM was compiled in
and the caller passed untrusted=1. In a default ./configure build,
USE_ECC_B_PARAM is not defined, so the check was compiled out entirely.
Additionally, the legacy wrapper wc_ecc_import_x963_ex unconditionally
passed untrusted=0, meaning ECIES (wc_ecc_decrypt), PKCS#7 KARI, and
the EVP ECDH layer never triggered the check even when the macro was
present. In the OpenSSL compatibility layer, wolfSSL_ECPoint_d2i
guarded its on-curve check behind !wolfSSL_BN_is_one(point->Z), but
wc_ecc_import_point_der_ex always sets Z=1 for uncompressed points,
making the check dead code.
An attacker who can supply an EC public key (e.g. via an ECIES
ciphertext, PKCS#7 enveloped-data, EVP_PKEY_derive, or
EC_POINT_oct2point + ECDH_compute_key) can choose a point on a twist
of the target curve with a smooth-order subgroup. Each ECDH query
leaks the victim's static private scalar modulo a small prime; CRT
reconstruction across enough queries recovers the full key
(Biehl-Meyer-Müller invalid-curve attack). Static-key ECIES and PKCS#7
KARI are directly affected; TLS is affected in default builds because
the USE_ECC_B_PARAM gate defeated the untrusted=1 flag that the
handshake does pass.
Four changes close the attack:
1. Remove the USE_ECC_B_PARAM gate completely in the code base so that
wc_ecc_point_is_on_curve() is compiled in all builds, not only
those with HAVE_COMP_KEY or OPENSSL_EXTRA (only set for legacy FIPS
builds in settings.h).
2. wc_ecc_import_x963_ex: pass untrusted=1 to wc_ecc_import_x963_ex2
so that ECIES, PKCS#7 KARI, and EVP callers that go through the
four-argument wrapper always validate the imported point.
3. wc_ecc_import_x963_ex2: use the lightweight sp_ecc_is_point_NNN
helpers (curve-equation check only) instead of sp_ecc_check_key_NNN
(which additionally performs a full point*order scalar multiply).
For prime-order curves (P-256, P-384, P-521, SM2) the on-curve
equation check y^2 = x^3 + ax + b is sufficient to defeat
invalid-curve attacks — every non-identity point on a prime-order
curve has the full group order, so the expensive order-multiply
check is unnecessary. This avoids the ~50% ECDH performance
regression caused by the redundant scalar multiplication.
4. wolfSSL_ECPoint_d2i (pk_ec.c): add unconditional on-curve
validation via wolfSSL_EC_POINT_is_on_curve after import. The
existing check was gated on !wolfSSL_BN_is_one(point->Z) and
therefore dead code for all uncompressed-point imports. This closes
the OpenSSL compat layer attack path (EC_POINT_oct2point followed
by ECDH_compute_key).
Non-SP curves fall back to wc_ecc_point_is_on_curve which performs the
same equation check using mp_int arithmetic.

* wc_rng_bank_default_set()
* wc_rng_bank_default_checkout()
* wc_rng_bank_default_checkin()
* wc_rng_bank_default_clear()
* Added additional argument error checking to existing APIs, with a new
rng_inst_matches_bank() helper function.
* Implemented feature gates WC_RNG_BANK_DEFAULT_SUPPORT and
WC_RNG_BANK_NO_DEFAULT_SUPPORT. When WC_RNG_BANK_DEFAULT_SUPPORT, the new
APIs are available, and a NULL bank passed to APIs implicitly refers to the
default bank.
wolfcrypt/test/test.c: in random_bank_test() add comprehensive smoke test coverage of new APIs and argument checking.
wolfssl/wolfcrypt/wc_port.h and wolfcrypt/src/wc_port.c:
* Add wolfSSL_RefInc2(), wolfSSL_RefDec2(), wolfSSL_RefWithMutexInc2(), and
wolfSSL_RefWithMutexDec2(), returning the atomically determined new count in
the second arg;
* Fix type of second arg in the fallback definition of
wolfSSL_Atomic_Ptr_CompareExchange().
linuxkm/lkcapi_sha_glue.c:
Refactor the _REGISTER_HASH_DRBG / _REGISTER_HASH_DRBG_DEFAULT facility around
the new wc_rng_bank_default facility, eliminating post-init use of
kernel-native crypto_default_rng, crypto_get_default_rng(), and
crypto_put_default_rng(), and eliminating all use on kernel 7.1+ (where these
will become unexported kernel-native statics). With the refactor, the
LINUXKM_DRBG_GET_RANDOM_BYTES facility uses only direct native wolfCrypt
objects and calls to fulfill requests.
wolfssl/wolfcrypt/error-crypt.h, wolfcrypt/src/error.c, wolfcrypt/test/test.c, tests/api.c: add WC_SUCCESS = 0 "wolfCrypt generic success".
* add WC_FIPS_186_4, WC_FIPS_186_4_PLUS, WC_FIPS_186_5, and WC_FIPS_186_5_PLUS feature macros.
* add support for WC_HASH_CUSTOM_MIN_DIGEST_SIZE, WC_HASH_CUSTOM_MAX_DIGEST_SIZE, and
WC_HASH_CUSTOM_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE, for use with custom digest algorithms.
* add SigOidMatchesKeyOid() helper function and WC_MIN_DIGEST_SIZE macro.
* add additional size and OID agreement checks for sig gen and verify ops.
* update ecc_test_vector() with FIPS 186-5 vectors.

When an untrusted issuer has CA:FALSE and no verify_cb is registered,
the !isCa branch now fails closed (ret=WOLFSSL_FAILURE, goto exit)
instead of falling through and skipping X509StoreVerifyCert for the
leaf. SetupStoreCtxError_ex is also hardened to never overwrite a
previously recorded error with success, preventing a later valid chain
link from clobbering ctx->error back to X509_V_OK. Tests added for
both the no-callback rejection and the error-preservation cases.

EVP_DecryptFinal_ex() called wc_ChaCha20Poly1305_Final() which only
computes the Poly1305 tag, writing it into ctx->authTag and
overwriting the expected tag stored there by EVP_CTRL_AEAD_SET_TAG.
No comparison was ever performed, so any forged tag was accepted.
Fix: save the expected tag before calling Final(), then verify with
wc_ChaCha20Poly1305_CheckTag() on the decrypt path, mirroring the
existing AES-GCM branch. Add a regression test that asserts
EVP_DecryptFinal_ex() rejects an all-zero forged tag.
