uTLS has a fingerprint vulnerability from missing padding extension for Chrome 120

The padding extension was incorrectly removed in utls for the non-pq variant of Chrome 120 fingerprint. Chrome removed this extension only when sending pq keyshares. Only this fingerprint is affected since newer fingerprints have pq keyshares by default and older fingerprints have this extension. Affected symbols: HelloChrome_120 Fix commit: 8fe0b08e9a0e7e2d08b268f451f2c79962e6acd0 Thanks to telegram @acgdaily for reporting this issue.

uTLS has a fingerprint vulnerability from GREASE ECH mismatch for Chrome parrots

There is a fingerprint mismatch with Chrome when using GREASE ECH, having to do with ciphersuite selection. When Chrome selects the preferred ciphersuite in the outer ClientHello and the ciphersuite for ECH, it does so consistently based on hardware support. That means, for example, if it prefers AES for the outer ciphersuite, it would also use AES for ECH. The Chrome parrot in utls hardcodes AES preference for outer ciphersuites …

uTLS ServerHellos are accepted without checking TLS 1.3 downgrade canaries

Before version 1.7.0, utls did not implement the TLS 1.3 downgrade protection mechanism specified in RFC 8446 Section 4.1.3 when using a utls ClientHello spec. This allowed an active network adversary to downgrade TLS 1.3 connections initiated by a utls client to a lower TLS version (e.g., TLS 1.2) by modifying the ClientHello message to exclude the SupportedVersions extension, causing the server to respond with a TLS 1.2 ServerHello (along …
