[Openvpn-devel,v6,2/2] Add support for OpenSSL TLS 1.3 when using management-external-key

For TLS 1.0 to 1.2 and OpenSSL 1.1.0 calls us and requires a PKCS1
padded response. As TLS 1.3 mandates RSA-PSS padding support and also
requires an TLS 1.3 implementation to support RSA-PSS for older TLS
version, OpenSSL will query us to sign an already RSA-PSS padded
string.

This patch adds an 'unpadded' and 'pkcs1' parameter to the
management-external-key option to signal that the client is
able to support pkcs1 as well as unpadded signature requests.

Since clients that implement the management-external-key interface
are usually rather tightly integrated solutions (OpenVPN Connect in the
past, OpenVPN for Android), it is reasonable to expect that
upgrading the OpenSSL library can be done together with
management interface changes. Therefore we provide no backwards
compatbility for mangement-interface clients not supporting
OpenSSL 1.1.1.

Using the management api client version instead might seem like the
more logical way but since we only now that version very late,
it would extra logic and complexity to deal with this asynchronous
behaviour. Instead just give an error early if OpenSSL 1.1.1 and
management-external-key without nopadding is detected.

The interface is prepared for signalling PCKS1 and RSA-PSS support
instead of signalling unpadded support.

Patch v3: fix overlong lines and few other style patches. Note
      two overlong lines concerning mbedtls are not fixed as they
      are removed/shortend by the mbed tls patch to avoid conflicts

Patch v4: Setting minimum TLS version proved to be not enough and
      instead of implementing a whole compability layer we require
      mangement-clients to implement the new feature when they want
      to use OpenSSL 1.1.1

      Add a padding=ALGORITHM argument to pk-sig to indicate the
      algorithm. Drop adding PKCS1 ourselves.

Patch v5: Send the right version of the patch

Patch v6: Send version rebased on master

Hi,

This started exactly a year ago, so let's get over with it :)

By any chance is this an older version rebased to master? Saying this
because
most of the comments below are also in my previous remarks and were agreed
to
in your response...

See https://patchwork.openvpn.net/patch/587/#1157 and response

The code below adds ",ALG" to PK_SIGN, not padding=ALG to pk-sig.

      algorithm. Drop adding PKCS1 ourselves.

I thought we already agreed to reword  this paragraph as

"The signature algorithm is indicated in the PK_SIGN request only if the
management client-version is >= 2.  In particular, to support TLS1.3 and
TLS1.2 using OpenSSL 1.1.1, nonpadded signature support is required
and this can be indicated in the signing request only if the client
version is > 2"

See https://patchwork.openvpn.net/patch/587/#1157 and response to it.

Looks like these two defines are unused and not needed.

Again copying from previous review:

padded response. As TLS 1.3 mandates RSA-PSS padding support and also<br>
requires an TLS 1.3 implementation to support RSA-PSS for older TLS<br>
version, OpenSSL will query us to sign an already RSA-PSS padded<br>
string.<br>
<br>
This patch adds an &#39;unpadded&#39; and &#39;pkcs1&#39; parameter to the<br>
management-external-key option to signal that the client is<br>
able to support pkcs1 as well as unpadded signature requests.<br>
<br>
Since clients that implement the management-external-key interface<br>
are usually rather tightly integrated solutions (OpenVPN Connect in the<br>
past, OpenVPN for Android), it is reasonable to expect that<br>
upgrading the OpenSSL library can be done together with<br>
management interface changes. Therefore we provide no backwards<br>
compatbility for mangement-interface clients not supporting<br>
OpenSSL 1.1.1.<br>
<br>
Using the management api client version instead might seem like the<br>
more logical way but since we only now that version very late,<br>
it would extra logic and complexity to deal with this asynchronous<br>
behaviour. Instead just give an error early if OpenSSL 1.1.1 and<br>
management-external-key without nopadding is detected.<br>
<br>
The interface is prepared for signalling PCKS1 and RSA-PSS support<br>
instead of signalling unpadded support.<br>
<br>
Patch v3: fix overlong lines and few other style patches. Note<br>
      two overlong lines concerning mbedtls are not fixed as they<br>
      are removed/shortend by the mbed tls patch to avoid conflicts<br>
<br>
Patch v4: Setting minimum TLS version proved to be not enough and<br>
      instead of implementing a whole compability layer we require<br>
      mangement-clients to implement the new feature when they want<br>
      to use OpenSSL 1.1.1<br><br>
