[gnutls-devel] GnuTLS | Too small MAX_SEED_SIZE for PRF functions (#1013)

[Development of GNU's TLS library]

Ruslan Marchenko created an issue: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/issues/1013



## Description of problem:
Current implementation of PRF limits MAX_SEED_SIZE to 200 bytes, while this seed size includes 2x GNUTLS_RANDOM_SIZE (32) + 2 ctx_len (u16) + label + context.
That leaves Label + Context with only 134 bytes. At the same time Context is only validated to be below u16 boundary (65535).
The labels in IANA registry have avg size 24 bytes leaving only 110 bytes for the context.

Is there any particular reason to limit it to 200 bytes?

## Version of gnutls used:
3.6.13-2


## Distributor of gnutls (e.g., Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL) 
ArchLinux

## How reproducible:
ret = gnutls_prf_rfc5705 (priv->session,
    30, "EXPORTER-SCRAM-Channel-Binding",
    116, "n=user,r=rOprNGfwEbeRWgbNEkqO,r=rOprNGfwEbeRWgbNEkqO%hvYDpWUa2RaTCAfuxFIlj)hNlF$k0,s=W22ZaJ0SNY7soEsUEjb6gQ==,i=4096",
    32, out_buf);

## Actual results:
GNUTLS_E_INTERNAL_ERROR

## Expected results:
GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS
