5 Changes between 1.0.x and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
8 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
9 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
10 algorithms and include tests cases.
13 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
17 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
18 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
21 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
22 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
24 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
25 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
26 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
29 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
30 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
33 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
35 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
36 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
39 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
40 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
43 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
44 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
47 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
50 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
51 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
52 CRLs using the OCSP API.
55 *) New functions to set lookup_crls callback and to retrieve
56 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
59 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
60 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
63 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
64 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
67 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
68 functions. Add manual page.
69 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
71 *) New experimental SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework
72 for application configuration using configuration files or command lines.
75 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
76 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
80 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
81 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
82 summary of the connection parameters.
85 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
86 of connection parameters.
89 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
93 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
94 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
95 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
96 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
99 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
100 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
103 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
104 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
105 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
109 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
110 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
111 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
115 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
118 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
119 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
120 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
121 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
122 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
123 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
124 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
126 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
127 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
131 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
132 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
133 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
136 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
137 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
138 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
139 supported signature algorithms.
142 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
145 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
146 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
147 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
148 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
149 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
150 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
151 certificate and specify the whole chain.
154 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
155 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
156 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
157 to have similar checks in it.
159 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
160 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
161 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
162 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
163 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
166 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
167 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
168 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
169 shared signature algorithms.
172 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
173 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
177 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
178 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
179 it couldn't be removed.
182 *) Initial SSL tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
183 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
184 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
188 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
192 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
196 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
197 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
201 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
202 sign or verify all in one operation.
205 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporaing all the algorithm
206 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
207 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
210 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
213 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
216 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
217 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
218 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
219 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
220 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
223 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
227 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
228 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
229 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
232 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
233 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
236 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
239 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
240 POST to handle HMAC cases.
243 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
244 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
247 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
248 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
249 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
252 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
253 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
254 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
255 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
256 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
257 requested amount of entropy.
260 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
261 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
264 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
265 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
266 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
270 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
271 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
272 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
275 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
276 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
277 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
278 will never use XTS mode.
281 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
282 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
283 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
284 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
285 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
286 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
289 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
290 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
291 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
292 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
295 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
296 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
297 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
300 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
303 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
306 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
307 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
310 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
311 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
314 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
315 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
318 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
319 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
320 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
321 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
322 and rename any affected symbols.
325 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
326 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
329 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
330 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
331 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
334 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
337 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
338 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
339 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
342 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
343 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
346 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
347 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
348 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
349 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
350 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
351 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
355 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
356 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
357 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
358 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
359 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
360 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
361 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
362 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
365 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
366 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
369 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
371 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
372 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
374 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
375 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
376 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
377 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
378 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
379 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
381 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
382 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
383 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
385 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
387 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_diff to find the difference in days
388 and seconds between two tm structures. This will be used to provide
389 additional functionality for ASN1_TIME.
392 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
393 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
396 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
397 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
398 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
399 setting is used: whether to trust or reject.
402 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
406 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
407 Add CMAC pkey methods.
410 *) Experimental regnegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
411 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
412 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
415 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
416 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
417 multi-process servers.
420 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
421 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
422 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
423 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
424 RAND_METHOD structure.
427 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
428 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
429 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
430 whose return value is often ignored.
433 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 [xx XXX xxxx]
435 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
436 platform support for Linux and Android.
439 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
440 the right response is stapled. Also change current certificate to
441 the certificate actually sent.
442 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
443 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
445 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
449 [Emilia Kasper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie (Google)]
451 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
452 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
453 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
454 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
455 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
458 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
459 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
460 the new parameter format automatically.
463 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
464 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
467 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
470 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
471 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
472 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
473 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
474 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
477 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
478 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
479 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
480 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
481 to set list of supported curves.
484 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
485 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
486 to print out received values.
489 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
490 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
491 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
494 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
495 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
498 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
499 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
502 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
506 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [xx XXX xxxx]
508 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
511 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
515 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
517 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
518 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to avoid DoS attack.
520 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
521 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
525 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
526 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
529 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
533 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
535 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
536 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
537 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
538 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
539 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
540 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
541 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
542 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
543 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
544 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
547 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
548 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
549 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
550 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
551 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
552 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
556 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
558 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
559 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
560 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
562 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
563 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
565 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
567 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
570 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
571 record length exceeds 255 bytes:
573 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
574 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
575 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
576 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
577 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
578 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
579 Most broken servers should now work.
580 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
581 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
584 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
587 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
589 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
590 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
593 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
594 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
595 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
596 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
597 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
600 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
601 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
602 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
603 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
604 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
607 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
608 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
610 *) Add support for SCTP.
611 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
613 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
614 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
616 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
618 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
619 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
620 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
621 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
622 - s390x: z196 support;
623 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
627 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
628 (removal of unnecessary code)
629 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
631 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
634 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
637 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
638 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
639 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
641 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
643 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
644 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
645 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
646 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
647 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
649 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
650 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
651 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
653 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
654 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
655 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
657 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
658 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
660 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
662 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
663 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
664 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
667 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
668 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
672 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
673 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
674 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
677 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
678 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
679 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
680 the appropriate parameters.
683 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
684 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
685 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
686 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
687 against a number of sample certificates.
690 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
691 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
693 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
694 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
696 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
697 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
701 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
705 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
706 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
707 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
711 *) Session-handling fixes:
712 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
713 but also support Session Tickets.
714 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
715 presented a ticket with an expired session.
716 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
717 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
718 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
719 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
721 *) Fix PSK session representation.
724 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
726 This work was sponsored by Intel.
729 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
730 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
731 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
732 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
733 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
736 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
737 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
740 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
741 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
742 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
745 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
746 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
747 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
748 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
751 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
752 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
753 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
756 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
757 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
759 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
762 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
763 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
766 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
769 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
770 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
773 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
774 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
777 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
780 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
781 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
782 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
785 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
788 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
791 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
792 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
795 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
796 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
797 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
800 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
803 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
807 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
808 FIPS modules versions.
811 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
812 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
813 until after the certificate request message is received.
816 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
817 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
818 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
819 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
822 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
823 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
824 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
825 support yet and no support for client certificates.
828 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
829 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
830 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
831 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
832 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
833 and version checking.
836 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
837 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
838 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
839 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
843 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
845 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
848 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
849 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
850 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
852 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
853 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
854 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
857 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
858 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
860 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
861 a few changes are required:
863 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
865 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
866 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
867 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
870 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
872 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
873 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
874 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
875 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
876 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
877 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
878 an MMA defence is not necessary.
879 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
880 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
883 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
884 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
885 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
888 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
890 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
891 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
892 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
893 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
896 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
898 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
899 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
900 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
901 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
902 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
903 paper describing this attack can be found at:
904 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
905 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
906 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
907 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
908 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
909 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
910 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
912 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
914 [Adam Langley (Google)]
916 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
917 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
918 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
919 [Adam Langley (Google)]
921 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
922 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
924 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
925 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
926 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
927 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
929 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
930 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
932 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
933 [Adam Langley (Google)]
935 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
936 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
938 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
939 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
940 [Adam Langley (Google)]
942 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
943 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
944 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
946 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
947 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
948 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
949 the last update always remained unused).
950 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
952 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
953 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
955 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
957 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
958 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
959 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
961 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
962 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
963 [Adam Langley (Google)]
965 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
968 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
969 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
970 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
973 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
974 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
976 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
978 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
980 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
982 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
983 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
985 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
986 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
990 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
992 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
993 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
994 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
997 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
998 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
999 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1002 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
1004 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1005 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1006 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1009 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
1013 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
1015 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
1017 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
1019 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
1021 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
1022 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
1023 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
1026 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
1029 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
1030 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
1031 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
1033 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
1034 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
1035 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
1038 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
1039 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
1042 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
1043 some responders need this.
1046 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
1048 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1050 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
1051 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
1052 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
1055 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
1058 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
1059 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
1060 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
1061 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
1062 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
1063 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
1064 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
1065 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
1068 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
1069 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
1070 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
1071 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1073 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
1074 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
1076 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
1080 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
1081 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
1082 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
1083 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
1084 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
1085 attempting to work them out.
1088 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
1089 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
1090 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
1091 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
1094 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
1095 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
1096 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
1097 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
1098 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
1101 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
1102 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
1109 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
1111 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
1115 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
1116 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1118 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
1119 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
1121 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
1122 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
1123 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
1124 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
1125 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
1128 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
1129 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
1130 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
1133 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
1134 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
1137 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
1138 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
1140 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
1141 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
1144 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
1147 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
1148 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
1149 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
1153 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
1154 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
1155 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
1156 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
1157 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
1158 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
1161 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
1162 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
1164 This work was sponsored by Google.
1167 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
1168 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
1169 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
1170 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
1171 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
1172 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
1173 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
1176 This work was sponsored by Google.
1179 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
1181 This work was sponsored by Google.
1184 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
1185 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
1186 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
1187 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
1189 This work was sponsored by Google.
1192 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
1193 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
1194 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
1195 CRL functionality in future.
1197 This work was sponsored by Google.
1200 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
1202 This work was sponsored by Google.
1205 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
1206 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
1208 This work was sponsored by Google.
1211 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
1212 and URI types are currently supported.
1214 This work was sponsored by Google.
1217 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
1218 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
1219 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
1220 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
1221 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
1222 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
1223 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
1224 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
1226 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
1227 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
1228 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
1230 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
1231 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
1232 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
1233 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
1235 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
1236 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
1237 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
1238 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
1239 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
1240 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
1241 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
1242 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
1244 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
1246 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
1247 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
1248 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
1250 This work was sponsored by Google.
1253 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
1256 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1257 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
1258 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
1261 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
1262 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
1265 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1266 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
1269 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
1270 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
1271 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
1272 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
1273 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
1274 content types and variants.
1277 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
1280 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
1281 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
1282 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
1283 files from the associated perl scripts.
1286 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
1287 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
1288 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1290 *) s390x assembler pack.
1293 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
1297 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
1298 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
1299 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
1300 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
1301 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
1302 to use. For example, specify an option
1304 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
1306 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
1307 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
1308 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
1309 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
1310 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
1311 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
1313 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
1314 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
1315 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
1316 return non-zero for success.
1318 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
1321 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
1322 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1326 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
1329 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
1330 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
1331 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
1332 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
1333 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
1334 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
1335 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
1336 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
1337 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
1339 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
1340 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
1341 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
1342 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
1343 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
1344 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
1346 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
1347 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
1348 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
1349 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
1350 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
1351 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
1355 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
1358 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1360 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1361 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1362 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1365 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1366 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1369 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1370 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1371 with no application modification.
1373 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1374 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1376 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1377 or server extensions to be examined.
1379 This work was sponsored by Google.
1382 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
1383 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
1384 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
1386 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
1387 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
1388 ciphersuite support.
1389 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
1391 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
1392 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
1393 to output in BER and PEM format.
1396 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
1397 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
1398 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
1399 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
1400 -macopt options to dgst utility.
1403 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
1404 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
1405 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
1409 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
1410 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
1411 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
1412 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
1413 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
1414 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
1415 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
1416 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
1419 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
1420 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
1421 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
1422 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
1424 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
1425 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
1426 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
1430 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
1431 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
1432 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
1433 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
1434 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
1435 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
1436 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
1437 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
1438 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
1440 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
1441 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
1442 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
1443 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
1444 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
1445 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
1446 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
1447 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
1448 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
1449 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
1450 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
1453 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
1454 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
1455 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
1457 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
1458 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
1462 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
1463 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
1464 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
1467 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
1468 it yet and it is largely untested.
1471 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
1474 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
1475 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
1476 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
1479 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
1482 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
1483 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
1484 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
1485 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
1488 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
1489 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
1490 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
1491 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
1492 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
1495 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
1496 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
1499 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
1500 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
1501 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
1502 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
1505 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
1506 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
1507 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
1508 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
1511 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
1512 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
1515 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
1516 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
1517 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
1518 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
1521 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
1522 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
1523 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
1526 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1530 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1531 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1534 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1535 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1536 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1540 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1541 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1542 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1545 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1546 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1547 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1548 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1551 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1552 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1553 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1554 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1555 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1556 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1559 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1560 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1561 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1562 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1563 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1565 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1566 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1567 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1568 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1569 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1572 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1573 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1574 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1575 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1577 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1578 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1579 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1580 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1581 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1587 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1588 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1592 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1593 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1596 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1597 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1600 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1601 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1602 functional reference processing.
1605 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhance versions of
1606 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1610 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1611 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1612 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1615 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1616 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1617 application to support multiple signers.
1620 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1624 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1625 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1626 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1627 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1628 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1631 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1635 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1636 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1637 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1638 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1642 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1643 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1644 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1645 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
1646 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1647 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1648 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1649 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1652 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1653 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1654 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1655 between digests and public key types.
1658 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1659 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1660 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1661 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1664 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1665 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1669 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1672 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1676 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1677 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1678 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1679 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1684 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1686 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1688 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1690 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1691 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1692 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1693 functionality for RSA.
1696 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1697 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1698 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1701 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1702 key API, doesn't do much yet.
1705 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
1706 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1707 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1710 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1711 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1714 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1715 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
1718 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
1719 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
1723 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
1724 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
1725 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
1729 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
1730 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
1731 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
1732 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
1733 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
1734 of public and private key structures.
1737 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
1738 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1741 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
1742 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
1743 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
1746 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
1750 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
1751 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
1752 SSL_get_psk_identity
1753 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
1755 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
1757 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
1758 and response verification functionality.
1759 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
1761 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1762 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1763 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1764 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1765 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1766 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1767 server_name extension.
1769 New functions (subject to change):
1771 SSL_get_servername()
1772 SSL_get_servername_type()
1775 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1777 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1778 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1779 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1780 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1781 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1783 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1785 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1786 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1787 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1788 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1789 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1790 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1793 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
1795 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
1798 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
1799 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
1800 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
1801 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
1802 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
1805 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
1806 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
1810 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
1811 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
1812 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
1813 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
1816 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
1817 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
1818 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
1819 using the maximum available value.
1822 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
1823 in addition to the text details.
1826 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
1827 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
1828 handle several customised structures at all.
1831 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
1832 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
1833 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
1836 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
1839 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
1840 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
1841 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
1844 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
1845 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
1846 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
1849 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
1850 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
1854 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
1857 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
1860 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
1862 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1863 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1864 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1865 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1868 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
1870 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1871 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1872 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1873 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1874 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1875 paper describing this attack can be found at:
1876 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
1877 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1878 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1879 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
1880 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
1881 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
1882 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
1884 *) Stop policy check failure freeing same buffer twice. (CVE-2011-4109)
1885 [Ben Laurie, Kasper <ekasper@google.com>]
1887 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
1889 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1891 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
1892 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
1893 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
1894 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1896 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
1897 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
1898 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
1899 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1901 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
1902 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1904 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1905 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1907 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1908 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1909 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1911 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1912 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1913 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1915 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1916 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1917 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1918 the last update always remained unused).

1921 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular

1923 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1925 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1928 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper

1941 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1945 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
1947 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1948 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1949 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1952 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1953 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1954 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1957 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
1959 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1960 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1961 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1964 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
1967 *) Don't re-encode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
1968 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
1969 some broken encodings work correctly.
1972 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
1973 is also one of the inputs.
1974 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1976 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
1977 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
1978 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add

1984 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after

2002 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
2004 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
2005 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
2006 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
2007 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
2008 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
2009 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
2010 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
2011 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
2013 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
2014 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
2015 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2017 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
2019 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
2020 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
2022 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
2023 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
2026 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
2027 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
2028 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
2031 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
2032 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
2033 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
2034 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
2035 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
2036 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
2039 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
2040 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
2041 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
2044 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
2045 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
2046 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
2047 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
2048 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
2049 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
2053 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
2054 change when encrypting or decrypting.
2057 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
2058 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
2059 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
2062 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
2065 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
2066 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
2067 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
2068 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
2069 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
2070 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
2071 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
2072 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
2073 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
2076 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
2077 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
2078 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
2081 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
2082 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
2085 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
2086 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
2087 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
2088 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
2089 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
2090 know what you are doing.
2091 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
2093 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
2094 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
2095 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
2096 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
2097 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
2098 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
2102 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
2103 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error

2108 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
2109 warnings in other configurations.
2112 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This

2114 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some

2118 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
2119 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
2120 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
2122 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
2123 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
2124 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
2125 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
2128 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
2132 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
2133 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
2135 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2137 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
2138 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
2139 other than a simple chain.
2140 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
2142 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
2143 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
2144 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
2145 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
2148 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
2149 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
2150 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
2151 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
2152 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
2153 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
2154 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
2155 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
2156 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2158 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
2159 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
2160 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
2161 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
2162 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
2163 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
2165 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2167 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
2168 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
2171 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.

2177 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
2179 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
2180 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
2181 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
2182 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
2183 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
2187 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
2189 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
2190 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
2191 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
2192 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
2194 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
2195 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
2196 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
2197 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2199 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
2200 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
2201 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
2204 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
2205 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
2209 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
2210 to handle some structures.
2213 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
2215 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
2217 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
2220 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
2223 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
2226 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
2227 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
2231 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
2233 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
2235 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
2237 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
2240 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
2241 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
2242 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
2243 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
2245 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
2246 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
2248 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
2249 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
2252 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
2253 s_client and s_server.
2256 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
2257 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2259 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
2260 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
2262 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
2263 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
2264 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
2265 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
2266 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
2269 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
2271 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
2272 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
2275 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
2276 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
2279 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
2280 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
2281 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
2282 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
2284 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
2285 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
2287 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
2289 *) Various precautionary measures:
2291 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
2293 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
2294 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
2295 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
2297 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
2298 outside the expected range.
2300 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
2303 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
2305 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
2306 the load fails. Useful for distros.
2307 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
2309 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
2312 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
2315 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
2317 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2320 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
2321 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
2322 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
2324 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2327 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
2328 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
2329 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
2333 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
2335 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
2336 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
2337 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
2338 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
2340 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
2341 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
2344 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
2346 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
2347 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
2348 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
2350 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
2352 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
2353 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
2354 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
2355 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
2358 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
2359 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
2360 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
2361 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
2362 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
2363 invalid read after the end of 'db').
2364 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2366 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
2368 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
2369 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
2370 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
2371 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
2372 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
2374 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
2375 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
2377 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
2378 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
2379 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
2380 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
2381 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
2383 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
2385 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
2386 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
2387 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
2388 sets may exist with different names.
2391 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
2392 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
2393 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
2394 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
2395 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
2396 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
2397 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
2398 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
2399 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
2401 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
2403 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
2404 implementation in the following ways:
2406 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
2409 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
2410 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
2411 ignored for embedded content.
2413 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
2414 with the enable-cms configuration option.
2417 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
2418 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
2419 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
2420 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
2422 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
2423 uncompresses any data passed through it.
2426 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
2427 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
2430 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
2431 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
2432 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
2433 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
2434 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
2435 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
2439 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
2440 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
2441 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2445 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
2446 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
2447 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
2448 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
2449 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
2450 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
2451 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
2452 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
2454 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
2455 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
2456 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
2457 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
2458 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
2459 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
2460 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
2462 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
2463 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
2464 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
2465 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
2466 to s_client and s_server.
2469 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
2471 *) Fix various bugs:
2472 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
2473 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
2474 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
2475 + Fix ia64 assembler code
2476 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2478 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
2480 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
2481 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
2482 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
2483 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
2484 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
2485 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
2486 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
2487 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
2490 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
2491 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
2492 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
2495 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2496 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2497 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2500 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2501 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2504 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2505 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2506 with no application modification.
2508 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2509 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2511 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2512 or server extensions to be examined.
2514 This work was sponsored by Google.
2517 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2518 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2519 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2520 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2521 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2522 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2523 server_name extension.
2525 New functions (subject to change):
2527 SSL_get_servername()
2528 SSL_get_servername_type()
2531 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2533 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2534 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2535 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2536 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2537 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2539 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2541 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2542 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2543 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2544 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2545 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2546 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2549 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2551 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2554 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2557 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2558 (which previously caused an internal error).
2561 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2564 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2565 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2567 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2568 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2569 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2571 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2572 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2573 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2574 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2576 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2577 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2578 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2579 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2581 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2582 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2583 information. For detailed background information, see
2584 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2585 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2586 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2587 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2588 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2589 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2590 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2591 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2592 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2593 remove a conditional branch.
2595 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2596 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2597 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2598 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2599 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2600 remains as a deprecated alias.
2602 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
2603 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
2604 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
2605 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
2607 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
2608 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
2609 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
2610 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
2611 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
2612 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
2613 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
2614 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
2616 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
2618 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2619 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2620 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2621 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2622 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2623 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2624 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2625 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2626 in a different context.
2629 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2630 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2631 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2634 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
2635 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
2636 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
2638 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
2640 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
2641 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
2642 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2643 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
2644 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
2647 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
2648 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
2649 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
2650 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
2651 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
2652 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
2655 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2656 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2657 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2658 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2659 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2662 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
2663 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
2665 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2666 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2667 Improve header file function name parsing.
2670 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
2671 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
2674 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
2676 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2677 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2678 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2680 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2681 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2683 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2684 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2686 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2687 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2688 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2690 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
2691 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
2692 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
2693 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
2694 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
2695 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
2696 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
2697 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
2698 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
2700 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
2701 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
2702 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
2703 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
2704 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
2706 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
2707 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
2708 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
2709 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
2710 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
2711 (not just a patch level) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
2712 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
2713 multiple values to extend the available space.
2717 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
2719 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2720 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2722 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
2725 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2726 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2727 undesirable limitations.
2728 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2730 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
2731 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
2732 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
2733 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
2734 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
2735 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
2736 to avoid potential handshake problems.
2739 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2741 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2742 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2743 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2745 The latter two were purportedly from
2746 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2749 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
2750 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2751 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2754 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
2755 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2758 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
2759 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
2760 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
2761 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
2763 To minimize changes between patch levels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2764 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2765 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
2768 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
2769 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
2770 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
2771 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
2772 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
2773 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
2776 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
2778 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
2779 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
2782 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
2783 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
2785 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2786 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
2787 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
2788 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
2791 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
2792 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
2795 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
2796 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
2797 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
2798 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
2799 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
2800 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
2801 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
2805 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
2806 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
2807 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
2808 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
2811 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
2812 under VC++ build system.
2815 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
2816 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
2819 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
2821 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2822 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2823 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2824 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2825 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2827 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2828 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2829 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2831 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
2834 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
2835 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2838 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
2839 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
2841 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
2844 *) Extended Windows CE support.
2845 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
2847 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
2848 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2851 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
2852 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
2856 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
2858 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2861 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
2864 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
2865 key into the same file any more.
2868 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
2871 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
2872 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
2874 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
2875 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
2878 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
2879 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
2880 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
2881 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
2882 this only applies when building 'shared'.
2883 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
2885 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
2886 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
2887 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
2890 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
2891 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
2892 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
2893 - add new function for parameter creation
2894 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
2895 BN_BLINDING parameters
2896 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
2897 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
2898 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
2902 *) Add support for DTLS.
2903 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2905 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
2906 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
2909 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH certificate support from
2910 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
2913 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
2914 the apps/openssl applications.
2917 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
2918 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
2919 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
2922 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
2923 The new counter piece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
2925 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
2926 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
2928 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
2929 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
2930 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
2931 avoid this algorithm.)
2935 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
2936 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
2937 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
2940 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
2941 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
2944 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
2945 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
2946 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
2949 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
2951 The blank line is mandatory.
2955 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
2956 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
2960 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
2961 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
2963 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
2964 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
2965 to support policy checking and print out.
2968 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
2969 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
2970 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
2971 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
2973 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
2976 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
2977 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
2979 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
2980 implementation contributed by IBM.
2981 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
2983 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
2984 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
2985 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
2986 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
2988 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
2989 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
2991 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
2992 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
2993 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
2994 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
2995 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
2996 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
2999 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
3000 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
3001 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
3002 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
3003 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
3004 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
3005 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
3008 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
3011 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
3012 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
3013 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
3014 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
3015 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
3016 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
3017 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
3018 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
3021 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
3022 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
3023 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
3024 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
3027 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
3030 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
3033 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
3034 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
3035 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
3036 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
3037 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
3038 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
3039 BN_CTX's "bundling".
3042 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
3043 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
3046 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
3047 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
3048 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
3051 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
3052 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
3053 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
3057 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
3058 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
3061 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
3062 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
3063 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
3064 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
3067 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
3068 initialised value as BN_new().
3069 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
3071 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
3074 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
3075 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
3076 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
3077 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
3078 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
3079 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
3080 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
3081 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
3082 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
3083 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
3084 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
3085 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
3086 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
3087 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
3088 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
3090 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
3091 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
3092 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
3093 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
3096 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
3097 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
3098 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
3099 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
3100 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
3101 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
3102 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
3103 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
3104 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
3107 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
3108 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
3109 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
3110 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
3111 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
3112 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
3113 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
3116 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
3117 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
3118 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
3119 these have been updated also.
3122 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
3123 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
3124 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
3125 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
3126 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
3130 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
3131 structure of type "other".
3134 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
3135 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
3136 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
3137 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
3138 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
3139 situation in the script.
3140 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3142 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3143 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
3144 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
3145 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
3146 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
3147 used as premaster secret.
3148 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3150 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
3151 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
3152 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3154 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
3155 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
3157 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
3158 control of the error stack.
3161 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
3164 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
3165 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
3166 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
3167 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
3170 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
3171 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
3172 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
3175 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
3176 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
3177 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
3181 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
3182 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
3183 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
3184 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
3187 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
3188 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
3189 the following flags are defined:
3191 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
3192 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3193 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
3196 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
3197 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3198 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
3199 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
3203 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
3204 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
3205 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
3206 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
3207 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
3210 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
3211 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
3212 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
3215 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3216 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3217 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3218 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3219 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3220 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3223 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
3227 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
3230 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
3233 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
3236 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
3237 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
3238 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
3239 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
3240 default implementation more easily.
3243 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
3247 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
3248 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
3251 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
3252 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
3253 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
3254 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
3256 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
3257 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
3258 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
3259 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
3262 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
3263 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
3267 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
3268 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
3269 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
3270 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
3271 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
3272 scalar * generator).
3273 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
3275 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
3276 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
3277 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
3281 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
3282 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
3283 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
3284 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
3285 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
3286 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
3287 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
3288 linker additions, eg;
3289 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
3292 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
3293 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
3294 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
3297 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3298 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3299 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
3303 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
3304 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
3305 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
3306 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
3309 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
3310 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
3311 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
3312 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
3313 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
3314 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
3315 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
3316 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
3317 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
3318 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
3320 Example for using the new callback interface:
3322 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
3326 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
3328 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
3329 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
3330 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
3331 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
3332 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
3333 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
3338 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
3339 available to TLS with the number defined in
3340 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
3343 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
3344 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
3346 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
3347 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3348 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3349 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
3351 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
3352 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
3354 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
3355 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
3359 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
3360 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
3363 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
3364 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
3365 and a macro that behave like
3366 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
3368 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
3371 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
3372 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
3373 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
3375 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3377 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
3380 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
3381 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
3382 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
3383 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
3385 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
3386 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
3387 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
3388 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
3389 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
3390 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
3391 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
3392 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
3394 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
3395 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
3398 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
3399 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
3401 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
3402 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
3403 files while avoiding the low level API.
3405 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
3406 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
3407 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
3408 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
3410 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
3411 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
3412 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
3413 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
3414 instead of the low level API.
3417 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
3418 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
3419 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
3420 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
3421 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
3424 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
3425 down to the template encoder.
3428 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
3429 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
3432 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
3433 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
3434 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
3435 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3437 *) Add ECDH engine support.
3438 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3440 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
3441 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3443 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
3444 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
3447 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
3448 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
3449 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
3452 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
3453 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
3455 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3456 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3458 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
3459 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
3462 EC_GF2m_simple_method
3466 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
3467 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
3468 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
3469 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3470 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3471 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
3473 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
3474 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
3477 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
3478 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
3479 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
3480 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
3481 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
3482 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
3483 various internal method names.)
3485 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
3486 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
3488 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3489 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3491 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
3492 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
3494 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
3495 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
3496 methods are undefined.
3498 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3499 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3501 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
3502 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
3503 length of the modulus.
3505 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3506 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3508 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
3509 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
3511 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3512 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3514 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
3515 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
3516 used) in the following functions [macros]:
3519 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
3520 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
3521 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
3522 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
3524 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
3525 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
3526 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
3527 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
3529 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
3530 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
3532 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
3533 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
3534 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
3535 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
3536 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
3538 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
3539 This applies to the following functions:
3544 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3545 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3547 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3548 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3552 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3557 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3559 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3560 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3561 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3562 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3563 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3565 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3566 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3568 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
3569 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
3570 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
3572 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
3573 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
3575 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
3576 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
3577 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
3578 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
3579 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3581 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
3583 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
3584 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
3585 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
3586 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
3587 These control ASN1 encoding details:
3588 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
3589 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
3590 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
3591 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
3592 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
3593 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
3594 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
3596 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
3599 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
3600 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
3601 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
3602 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3604 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
3605 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
3606 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
3607 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3612 EC_POINT_point2hex()
3613 EC_POINT_hex2point()
3614 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
3615 EC_POINT_oct2point().
3616 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3618 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
3619 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
3620 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
3621 EC_GROUP_get_order()
3622 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
3623 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
3624 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
3625 adding different types of curves.
3626 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
3628 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
3629 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
3630 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
3633 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
3634 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
3636 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
3637 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
3638 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
3639 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3641 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
3643 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
3644 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
3646 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
3647 library. Most notably,
3648 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
3649 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
3650 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
3651 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
3652 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
3653 extracted before the specific public key;
3654 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
3655 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3657 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
3658 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
3660 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
3661 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with

3669 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3670 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3671 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3672 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3673 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3674 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with

3680 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
3682 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
3684 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3685 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3686 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3689 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
3690 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3691 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
3694 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
3697 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
3698 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
3701 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
3702 run algorithm test programs.
3705 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
3708 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3709 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3710 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3711 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3712 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3715 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3716 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3719 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
3721 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3722 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3723 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3725 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3726 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3728 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3729 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3731 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3732 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3733 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3735 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
3736 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
3737 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
3738 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
3739 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
3740 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
3741 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
3744 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
3746 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3747 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3749 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3750 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3751 undesirable limitations.
3752 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3754 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3756 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3757 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3758 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3760 The latter two were purportedly from
3761 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3764 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
3765 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3766 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3769 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
3770 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3773 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
3775 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
3776 module in FIPS mode.
3779 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
3782 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
3783 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is auto-detected from the
3784 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
3785 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
3788 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
3790 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
3791 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
3792 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
3793 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
3794 the difference induced by this change.
3797 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
3799 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3800 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3801 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3802 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3803 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3805 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3806 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3807 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3809 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
3810 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
3813 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
3814 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
3815 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
3816 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
3820 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
3821 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
3822 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
3823 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
3824 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
3826 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
3827 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
3828 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
3829 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
3830 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
3831 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
3833 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
3835 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
3836 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
3837 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
3838 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
3839 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
3842 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
3846 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
3847 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
3848 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
3851 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
3852 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
3853 structures constant.
3856 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
3858 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3861 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
3862 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
3863 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
3864 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
3865 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
3866 some needed definitions.
3869 *) Undo Cygwin change.
3872 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
3873 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
3874 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
3875 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
3878 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
3880 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
3881 server and client random values. Previously
3882 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
3883 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
3885 This change has negligible security impact because:
3887 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
3890 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
3893 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
3894 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
3897 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
3900 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
3902 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
3905 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
3906 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
3907 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
3909 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
3912 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
3913 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
3916 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
3917 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
3918 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
3920 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
3923 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
3924 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
3925 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
3929 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
3930 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
3931 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
3932 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
3934 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
3935 has chosen to ignore this fault)
3936 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
3937 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
3941 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
3943 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
3944 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
3945 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
3946 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
3947 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
3950 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
3953 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
3954 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
3956 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
3957 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
3958 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
3959 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
3960 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
3961 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
3962 rather than being initialized to 1.
3965 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
3967 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3968 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3969 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3971 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
3973 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3975 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3976 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3977 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3978 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3979 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3980 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3983 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
3984 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
3985 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
3986 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
3987 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
3991 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
3992 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
3993 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
3994 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
3995 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
3998 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
3999 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
4000 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
4004 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
4005 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4007 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
4010 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
4012 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4014 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4015 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4017 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
4019 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4020 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4024 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
4025 exiting on the first error in a request.
4028 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4029 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4033 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4034 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4035 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4036 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4038 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4039 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4042 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
4043 blocks during encryption.
4046 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
4047 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
4048 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
4049 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
4053 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
4054 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
4055 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
4056 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
4057 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
4061 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
4063 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4064 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4065 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4066 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4069 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4070 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4071 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4072 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4073 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4075 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4076 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4077 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4078 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4079 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4080 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4081 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4082 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4083 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4086 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
4087 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
4088 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
4089 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
4092 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
4093 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
4096 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
4098 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4099 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
4100 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4101 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4102 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4104 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4105 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4106 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4108 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
4109 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
4110 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
4111 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
4112 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
4114 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
4115 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
4116 used by default when no-err is given.
4119 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
4120 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
4122 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
4123 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
4124 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
4125 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
4126 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
4128 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
4129 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
4130 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
4131 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
4133 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
4135 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
4137 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
4139 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
4140 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
4141 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
4142 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
4146 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
4147 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4149 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
4150 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
4153 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4154 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4155 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
4156 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
4159 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
4160 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
4161 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
4162 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
4163 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
4164 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4165 followup to PR #377.
4168 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
4169 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
4172 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
4173 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
4174 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

4197 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
4198 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
4199 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.

4201 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
4203 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
4204 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
4205 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
4206 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
4207 have to be made anyway).
4210 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
4211 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
4212 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.

4216 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
4217 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.

4246 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
4247 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4249 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
4250 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4252 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
4254 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4256 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
4257 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
4258 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4260 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
4261 representations in a platform independent manner.
4262 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4264 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4265 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4266 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4268 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
4270 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4272 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
4273 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4275 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
4277 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4279 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
4280 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
4281 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4283 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
4285 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4287 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
4288 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4290 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
4291 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4293 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
4294 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4296 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
4297 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4299 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
4301 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4303 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
4304 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4306 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
4307 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4309 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
4310 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
4312 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4314 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
4315 the 0.9.6 release series:
4317 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4318 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
4320 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4322 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
4325 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
4326 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
4328 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
4329 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
4331 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
4332 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
4333 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
4334 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
4336 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
4337 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
4338 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
4340 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
4341 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
4342 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
4343 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4345 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
4346 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
4347 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
4350 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
4351 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
4352 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
4353 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4354 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4355 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
4356 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
4357 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
4360 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
4361 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
4362 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
4365 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
4366 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
4367 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
4368 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
4369 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
4371 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
4372 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
4374 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
4375 error in AES-CFB decryption.
4378 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
4379 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
4380 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
4381 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
4382 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
4383 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
4386 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
4387 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
4388 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
4391 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
4392 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
4395 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
4396 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
4397 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
4398 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
4399 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
4400 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
4401 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
4404 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
4405 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
4406 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
4407 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
4408 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
4409 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
4412 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
4413 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
4414 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
4415 declaration has been changed from
4418 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
4419 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
4420 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
4421 has been changed into
4422 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
4424 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
4425 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
4426 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
4428 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
4429 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
4431 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
4432 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
4433 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
4434 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
4435 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
4436 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
4437 always load it have also been added.
4440 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
4441 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
4442 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4444 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
4446 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
4447 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
4448 because it couldn't be used for anything.
4450 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
4451 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
4452 command line option can be used to specify an
4456 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
4457 use "openssl_conf". If filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
4460 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
4461 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
4462 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
4465 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
4466 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4467 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
4468 to work with the new engine framework.
4469 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
4471 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
4472 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4473 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
4474 to work with the new engine framework.
4477 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
4478 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
4479 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
4481 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
4482 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
4484 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
4485 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
4486 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
4487 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
4489 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4491 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4492 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4494 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
4495 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
4497 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
4498 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
4499 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
4502 *) Add new functions
4504 ERR_peek_last_error_line
4505 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
4506 These are similar to
4509 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
4510 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
4511 still in the error queue.
4512 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
4514 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
4516 default_algorithms = ALL
4517 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
4520 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
4523 *) New experimental application configuration code.
4526 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
4527 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
4528 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
4529 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4531 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
4532 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
4534 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
4535 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4537 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
4538 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
4541 *) New functions/macros
4543 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
4544 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4545 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
4546 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
4548 to request calling a callback function
4550 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
4551 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
4553 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
4554 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
4555 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
4556 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
4557 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
4558 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
4559 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
4560 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
4561 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
4562 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
4564 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
4565 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
4568 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
4569 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
4570 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
4571 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
4572 the configuration scripts.
4574 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
4575 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
4576 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
4578 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
4579 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4581 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
4582 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
4583 when reusing an existing buffer.
4586 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
4587 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
4590 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
4591 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
4594 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
4595 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
4596 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
4597 has the same effect.
4598 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4600 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
4601 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
4602 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
4603 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
4604 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
4605 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
4608 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
4609 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
4610 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
4611 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
4613 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
4614 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
4615 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
4616 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
4618 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
4619 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
4622 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
4623 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
4624 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
4625 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
4626 default), and then completely removed.
4629 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
4630 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
4631 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
4632 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
4633 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
4634 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
4635 particular extension is supported.
4638 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
4639 to retain compatibility with existing code.
4642 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
4643 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
4644 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
4645 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
4646 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
4647 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
4648 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
4649 requires the destination to be valid.
4651 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
4652 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
4655 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
4656 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
4657 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
4660 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
4661 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
4663 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
4664 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
4665 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
4666 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
4667 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
4668 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
4669 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
4670 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
4671 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
4672 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
4673 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
4674 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
4675 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
4676 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
4677 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
4678 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
4679 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
4680 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
4681 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
4685 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
4688 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
4689 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
4690 become part of libeay.num as well.
4693 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
4694 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
4695 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
4696 false once a handshake has been completed.
4697 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
4698 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
4699 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
4700 client has followed the request.)
4703 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
4704 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
4705 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
4706 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
4708 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
4709 more bits available for options that should not be part of
4710 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
4713 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
4716 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
4717 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
4718 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
4721 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
4722 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4725 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
4726 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
4727 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
4728 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
4731 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
4732 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
4733 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
4734 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
4735 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
4736 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
4739 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
4740 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
4741 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
4742 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
4743 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
4744 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
4745 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
4746 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
4749 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
4750 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
4753 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
4756 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
4757 md_data void pointer.
4760 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
4761 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
4762 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
4763 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
4764 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
4765 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
4768 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
4769 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
4770 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
4771 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
4772 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
4773 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
4774 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
4775 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
4776 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
4777 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
4778 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
4779 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
4780 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
4781 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
4782 rather than letting it slide.
4784 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
4785 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
4786 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
4789 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
4790 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
4791 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
4792 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
4793 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
4794 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
4795 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
4796 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
4797 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
4800 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
4801 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
4802 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
4803 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
4804 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
4806 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
4809 *) Add EVP test program.
4812 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
4815 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
4816 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
4817 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
4818 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
4819 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
4822 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
4823 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
4824 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
4825 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
4826 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
4827 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
4828 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
4830 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
4831 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
4832 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
4837 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
4838 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
4839 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
4840 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
4841 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
4845 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
4846 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
4847 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
4848 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
4851 des_key_schedule ks;
4853 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
4854 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
4856 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
4859 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
4860 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
4861 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
4862 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
4863 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
4864 functions prevents this.
4867 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
4870 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
4871 correct _ecb suffix.
4874 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
4875 revocation information is handled using the text based index
4876 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
4877 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
4878 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
4881 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
4884 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
4885 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
4886 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
4887 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
4889 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
4890 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
4892 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
4893 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4894 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
4895 via Richard Levitte]
4897 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
4898 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
4899 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
4900 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
4903 *) Speed up EVP routines.
4906 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
4907 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

4921 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
4922 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
4924 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
4925 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
4926 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
4927 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
4928 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
4929 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
4932 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
4933 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
4936 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
4937 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
4938 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
4939 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
4941 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
4942 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
4943 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
4944 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
4945 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
4946 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
4950 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
4951 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
4952 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
4953 and interrupts/cancellations.
4956 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
4957 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
4960 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
4961 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
4962 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
4964 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
4965 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
4969 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
4970 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
4971 than this minimum value is recommended.
4974 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
4975 that are easily reachable.
4978 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
4979 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
4981 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
4983 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
4984 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
4985 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
4986 needed for static libraries under Win32.
4989 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
4990 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
4991 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
4994 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
4995 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
4996 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
4997 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
4998 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
4999 internally such as S/MIME.
5001 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
5002 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
5003 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
5005 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
5009 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
5010 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
5011 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
5012 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
5014 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5016 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
5018 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
5019 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
5020 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
5024 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
5025 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
5026 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
5027 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
5028 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
5029 a window system and the like.
5032 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
5033 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
5036 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
5037 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
5038 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
5039 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
5040 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
5041 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
5042 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
5043 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
5044 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
5048 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
5049 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
5053 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
5054 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
5055 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
5056 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
5057 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
5058 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
5059 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
5060 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
5063 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
5064 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
5065 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
5066 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
5067 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
5068 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
5069 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
5070 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
5071 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
5072 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
5073 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
5074 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
5075 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
5076 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
5077 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
5078 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
5079 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
5082 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
5083 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
5084 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
5085 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
5086 internal engine_int.h header.
5089 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
5090 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
5091 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
5092 modify their own ones).
5095 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
5096 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
5097 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
5098 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
5099 later on via ctrl() commands.
5100 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
5101 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
5102 structural references.
5103 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
5104 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
5105 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
5106 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
5107 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
5108 or function to NULL is a way of canceling out a previously set
5109 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
5110 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
5111 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
5112 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
5113 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
5114 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
5117 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
5118 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
5119 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
5120 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
5121 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
5122 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
5123 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
5124 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
5127 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
5128 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
5131 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
5132 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
5135 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
5136 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
5137 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
5138 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
5139 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
5140 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
5141 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
5144 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
5145 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
5146 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
5147 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
5148 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
5150 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
5151 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
5155 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
5157 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
5158 operations and provides various method functions that can also
5159 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
5161 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
5162 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
5164 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
5165 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
5166 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
5168 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
5169 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
5171 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
5172 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
5174 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
5176 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
5177 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
5178 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
5181 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
5182 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
5185 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
5186 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
5187 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
5188 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
5189 is 40 of more characters long.
5192 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
5193 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
5197 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
5198 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
5201 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
5202 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
5206 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
5208 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
5209 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
5212 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
5214 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
5215 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
5216 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
5218 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
5219 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
5221 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
5224 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
5228 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
5229 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
5230 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
5231 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
5233 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
5235 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
5236 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
5238 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
5239 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
5240 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
5241 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
5242 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
5243 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
5245 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
5246 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
5248 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
5249 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5251 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
5252 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
5254 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
5255 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
5256 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5257 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
5259 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
5260 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
5262 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
5263 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
5265 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
5266 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
5267 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
5268 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
5269 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
5272 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
5273 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
5274 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
5275 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
5278 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
5279 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
5280 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
5284 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
5285 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
5286 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
5287 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
5288 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
5289 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
5290 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
5291 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
5295 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
5296 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
5299 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
5300 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
5301 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
5302 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
5305 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
5306 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
5307 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
5308 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
5309 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
5310 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
5311 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
5312 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
5313 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
5314 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
5317 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
5318 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
5319 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
5320 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
5321 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
5322 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
5323 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
5324 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5326 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
5327 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
5328 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
5329 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
5332 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
5333 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
5334 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
5335 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
5337 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
5338 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
5339 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
5340 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
5341 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
5345 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
5346 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
5347 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
5348 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
5352 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
5353 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
5354 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
5357 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
5358 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
5359 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
5360 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
5361 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
5364 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
5367 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
5368 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
5369 option to ocsp utility.
5372 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
5373 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
5374 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
5375 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
5376 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
5377 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
5378 the request is nonce-less.
5381 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
5382 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
5383 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
5386 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
5387 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
5388 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
5391 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
5392 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
5393 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
5394 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
5395 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
5398 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
5399 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
5403 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
5404 additional certificates supplied.
5407 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
5408 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
5412 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
5413 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
5416 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
5417 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
5418 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
5419 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
5420 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
5421 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
5422 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
5423 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
5424 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5426 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
5427 request to response.
5430 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
5431 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
5432 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
5433 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
5434 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
5435 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
5436 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
5437 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
5438 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
5439 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
5440 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
5443 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
5444 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
5445 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
5446 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
5449 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
5450 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5452 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
5453 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
5454 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
5457 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
5458 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
5459 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
5460 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5461 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5463 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
5464 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
5465 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
5468 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
5469 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
5470 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
5471 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
5472 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
5473 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
5474 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5475 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5477 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
5478 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
5479 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
5480 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
5481 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
5482 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
5485 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
5486 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
5487 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
5488 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
5489 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
5490 printout format cleaned up.
5493 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
5494 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
5495 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
5496 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
5497 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
5498 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
5499 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
5500 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
5503 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
5504 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
5505 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
5506 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
5507 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
5508 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
5509 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
5510 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
5513 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
5514 extensions from a separate configuration file.
5515 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
5516 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
5518 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5520 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
5521 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
5522 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
5523 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
5526 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
5527 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
5528 the given serial number (according to the index file).
5529 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
5531 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5533 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
5534 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
5535 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
5536 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5538 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
5539 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
5541 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
5542 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
5543 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
5546 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
5547 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
5548 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
5551 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
5552 file name and line number information in additional arguments
5553 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
5554 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
5555 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
5556 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
5557 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
5558 functions are provided:
5560 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
5561 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
5562 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
5563 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
5565 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
5566 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
5567 extended allocation function is enabled.
5568 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
5569 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
5570 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
5572 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
5573 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
5574 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
5575 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
5576 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
5579 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
5580 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
5581 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
5583 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
5584 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
5585 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
5588 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
5589 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
5590 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
5591 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
5592 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
5593 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
5594 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
5595 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
5596 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
5599 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
5600 provide utility functions which an application needing
5601 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
5602 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
5603 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
5605 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
5606 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
5607 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
5608 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
5609 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
5610 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
5611 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
5612 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
5613 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
5615 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
5616 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
5617 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
5618 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
5621 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
5622 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
5623 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
5624 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
5625 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
5626 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
5627 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
5628 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
5629 will be added elsewhere.
5632 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
5633 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
5634 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
5635 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
5638 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
5639 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
5640 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
5641 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
5642 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
5643 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
5644 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
5645 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
5646 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
5647 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
5648 to produce the required SET OF.
5651 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
5652 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
5653 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
5656 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
5657 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
5658 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
5659 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
5660 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
5661 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
5664 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
5665 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
5666 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
5669 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
5670 lines, recognise more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
5671 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
5674 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
5675 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
5676 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
5677 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
5678 code will still work when these eventually go away.
5681 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
5682 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
5685 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
5686 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
5687 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
5688 certificates and CRLs.
5691 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
5692 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
5693 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
5696 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
5697 entries for variables.
5700 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
5701 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
5702 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
5703 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
5706 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
5707 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
5708 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
5709 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
5710 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
5711 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
5714 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
5715 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
5717 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
5718 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
5719 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
5722 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
5726 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
5727 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
5728 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
5729 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
5730 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
5731 order did not reflect the encoded order.
5734 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
5737 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
5738 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
5739 for now but they will eventually go away.
5742 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
5743 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
5744 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
5745 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
5746 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
5747 has also been converted to the new form.
5750 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
5751 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
5752 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
5753 for negative moduli.
5756 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
5757 of not touching the result's sign bit.
5760 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
5764 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
5765 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
5766 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
5767 type-specific callbacks.
5770 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
5772 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5773 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
5775 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
5776 in sections depending on the subject.
5779 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
5783 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
5784 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
5785 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
5786 be handled deterministically).
5787 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5789 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
5790 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
5791 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
5794 *) New function BN_kronecker.
5797 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
5798 positive unless both parameters are zero.
5799 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
5800 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
5801 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
5804 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
5805 sign of the number in question.
5807 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
5809 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
5810 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
5811 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
5812 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
5813 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
5816 *) New function BN_swap.
5819 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
5820 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
5821 results on negative inputs.
5824 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
5825 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
5826 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
5829 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
5830 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
5831 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
5832 and add new functions:
5841 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
5845 These functions always generate non-negative results.
5847 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
5848 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
5850 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
5851 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
5852 be reduced modulo m.
5853 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5856 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
5857 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
5858 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
5860 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5861 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5862 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5863 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5864 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5865 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5870 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
5871 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
5872 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
5873 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
5874 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
5876 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
5877 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
5878 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
5882 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
5885 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
5886 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
5889 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
5890 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
5891 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
5892 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
5896 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
5899 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
5902 *) Add the following functions:
5904 ENGINE_load_cswift()
5906 ENGINE_load_atalla()
5908 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
5910 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
5911 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
5912 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
5913 libraries unless it's really needed.
5915 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
5916 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
5917 declarations (they differed!).
5920 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
5923 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
5926 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
5929 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
5930 identity, and test if they are actually available.
5933 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
5934 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
5935 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5937 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
5938 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
5941 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
5944 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
5947 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
5950 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
5951 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
5952 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
5954 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
5955 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
5956 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
5957 different shared library filenames on each system.
5960 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
5963 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
5964 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
5965 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
5967 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
5970 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
5971 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
5972 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
5973 binary backward compatibility.
5974 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
5975 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
5976 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
5980 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
5981 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
5982 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
5983 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
5987 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
5990 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
5991 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
5992 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
5993 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
5997 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
6000 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
6002 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6003 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6004 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6006 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
6008 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
6010 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
6011 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
6014 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
6016 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6018 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6019 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6021 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6022 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6026 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6027 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6031 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6032 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6033 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6034 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6036 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6037 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6040 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
6042 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6043 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6044 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6045 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6048 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6049 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6050 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6051 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6052 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6054 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6055 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6056 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6057 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6058 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6059 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6060 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6061 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6062 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6065 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
6067 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6068 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6069 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6070 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6071 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6073 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6074 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6075 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6077 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
6079 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
6080 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
6081 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
6082 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
6083 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
6084 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
6087 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
6088 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
6089 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
6090 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
6091 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
6094 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
6095 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
6096 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
6098 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
6099 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
6100 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
6104 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
6105 being properly terminated.
6108 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
6109 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
6110 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
6111 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
6113 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
6114 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
6115 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
6116 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
6117 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
6118 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
6119 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
6121 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
6123 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
6124 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
6127 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
6128 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
6129 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
6130 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
6131 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
6132 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
6133 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
6134 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
6136 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
6137 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
6138 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
6139 (see [openssl.org #212]).
6140 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6142 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
6143 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
6146 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
6148 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
6149 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
6150 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
6152 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
6154 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
6155 and get fix the header length calculation.
6156 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
6157 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
6160 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
6161 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
6162 assertions could call abort()).
6163 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
6165 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
6167 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6168 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6169 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6171 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6173 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
6174 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
6175 by the selection routines (PR #130).
6178 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
6182 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
6183 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
6184 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
6186 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
6187 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
6188 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
6189 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
6190 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
6194 *) Changes in security patch:
6196 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
6197 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
6198 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
6201 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6202 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6203 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6204 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
6205 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6207 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
6209 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6211 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
6212 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
6213 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
6215 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6216 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
6217 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6219 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
6220 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
6221 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6223 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
6225 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
6226 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
6227 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
6229 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
6230 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6232 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
6233 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
6234 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
6235 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
6236 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
6237 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
6240 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
6241 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
6242 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
6243 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
6246 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
6249 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
6250 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
6251 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
6252 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
6253 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
6254 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6256 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
6257 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
6258 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
6259 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
6260 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
6263 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
6264 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
6265 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
6266 BN_generate_prime().)
6268 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
6269 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
6270 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
6274 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
6275 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
6278 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
6279 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
6280 when using non-blocking I/O.
6281 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
6283 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
6284 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
6286 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
6287 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
6290 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
6291 configuration for the versions before that.
6292 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6294 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
6295 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
6296 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
6297 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
6300 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
6301 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
6302 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
6305 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
6309 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
6310 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6311 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6313 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
6314 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
6316 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
6317 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
6318 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
6319 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
6320 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
6321 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
6322 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
6325 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
6326 using a local variable.
6327 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6329 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
6330 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
6331 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6333 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
6336 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
6337 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
6339 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
6340 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
6341 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
6343 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
6345 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
6346 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
6347 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
6348 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
6351 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
6355 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
6356 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
6357 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
6358 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
6359 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
6361 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
6362 returns early because it has nothing to do.
6363 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6365 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6366 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
6367 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6369 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6370 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
6371 (Use engine 'keyclient')
6372 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
6374 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
6375 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
6376 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
6378 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
6380 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6381 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
6383 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
6385 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6386 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
6387 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6388 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
6390 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6391 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
6392 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6393 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
6395 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
6396 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
6398 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
6399 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
6400 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
6403 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
6404 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
6405 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
6407 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
6409 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
6410 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
6411 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
6412 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
6413 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
6414 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
6415 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
6418 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
6419 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
6420 one of the SSL handshake functions.
6421 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
6423 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
6424 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
6425 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
6426 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
6427 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
6428 the client will at least see that alert.
6431 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
6435 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
6436 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
6437 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6439 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
6440 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
6441 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
6442 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
6445 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
6446 before just sending a HelloRequest.
6447 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
6449 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
6450 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
6451 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
6452 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
6453 may leak via logfiles.)
6455 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
6456 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
6457 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
6458 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
6462 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
6463 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6466 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
6467 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
6468 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
6469 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
6470 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
6473 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
6474 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
6476 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
6477 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
6478 followed by modular reduction.
6479 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
6481 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
6482 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
6485 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
6486 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
6487 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
6488 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
6491 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
6494 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
6495 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
6498 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
6499 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
6500 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
6501 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
6502 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
6503 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
6505 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
6507 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
6508 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
6509 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
6510 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
6511 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
6513 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
6516 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
6517 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
6518 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
6519 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
6520 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
6521 to allow the necessary settings.
6524 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
6525 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
6526 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
6527 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
6530 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
6531 dh->length and always used
6533 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
6535 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
6536 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
6537 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
6538 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
6539 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
6544 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
6546 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
6552 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
6553 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
6554 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
6555 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
6557 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
6558 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
6559 always reject numbers >= n.
6562 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
6563 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
6564 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
6565 variable) is not atomic.
6568 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
6569 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
6570 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
6571 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
6573 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
6574 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
6576 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
6578 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
6580 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
6583 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
6585 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
6586 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
6587 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
6588 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
6589 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
6590 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
6591 to traverse all of 'state'.
6593 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
6594 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
6595 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
6597 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
6598 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
6600 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
6601 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
6602 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
6603 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
6604 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
6605 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
6606 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
6607 further strengthens the PRNG.
6610 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
6613 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
6614 an error message in this case.
6617 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
6620 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
6621 positive and less than q.
6624 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
6625 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
6627 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
6629 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
6630 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
6634 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6636 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
6637 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
6638 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
6639 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
6640 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
6641 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
6642 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
6645 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
6646 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
6647 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
6648 detect the supposedly ignored error.
6650 Both problems are now fixed.
6653 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
6654 (previously it was 1024).
6657 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
6658 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
6661 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
6664 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
6665 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
6666 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
6669 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
6670 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
6671 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
6672 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
6673 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
6674 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
6675 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
6676 environment variables.
6678 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
6679 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
6680 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
6683 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
6684 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
6685 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
6686 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
6687 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
6688 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
6691 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
6695 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
6697 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
6698 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
6700 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
6701 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
6702 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
6703 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
6707 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
6708 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
6709 amount of data available.
6710 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
6711 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6713 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
6714 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
6715 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
6716 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
6719 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
6720 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
6724 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
6725 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
6726 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
6727 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
6730 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
6733 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
6736 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
6737 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
6739 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6741 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
6742 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
6743 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
6744 (but broken) behaviour.
6747 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
6749 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
6751 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
6752 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
6755 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
6759 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
6760 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
6762 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
6765 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
6766 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
6767 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
6769 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
6770 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
6771 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
6774 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
6775 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
6778 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
6779 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
6781 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
6783 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
6785 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
6786 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
6787 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
6788 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
6791 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
6794 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
6795 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
6796 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6798 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
6801 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6803 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
6804 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
6805 but the code is actually correct.
6808 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
6809 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
6810 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
6811 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
6812 and leaves the highest bit random.
6813 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6815 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
6816 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
6817 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
6818 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
6819 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
6820 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
6821 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
6824 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
6827 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
6828 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
6831 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
6832 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
6833 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
6834 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
6838 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
6839 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
6840 and break the signature.
6842 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6844 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
6848 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
6849 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
6850 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
6851 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
6852 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
6855 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
6856 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6858 *) ./config script fixes.
6859 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
6861 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
6864 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
6865 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
6866 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
6867 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
6868 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
6870 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
6871 call failed, free the DSA structure.
6874 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
6875 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
6878 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
6879 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
6880 when writing a 32767 byte record.
6881 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
6883 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
6884 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
6886 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
6887 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
6888 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
6889 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
6890 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
6892 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
6895 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
6898 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
6901 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
6904 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
6905 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
6908 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
6909 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
6910 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
6911 result of the server certificate verification.)
6914 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
6915 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
6916 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
6920 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
6921 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
6922 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
6923 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
6924 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
6925 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
6926 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
6927 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
6930 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
6931 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
6932 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
6933 happening the other way round.
6936 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
6937 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
6940 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
6941 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
6942 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
6943 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
6946 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
6947 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
6949 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
6951 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
6952 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
6953 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
6956 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
6958 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
6960 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
6964 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
6966 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
6967 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
6968 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
6969 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
6970 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
6972 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
6973 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
6977 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
6980 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
6982 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
6983 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
6984 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
6985 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
6986 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
6987 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
6988 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
6989 by the Finished messages.
6992 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
6993 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
6995 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
6996 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
6997 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
6998 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
6999 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
7003 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
7004 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
7005 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
7006 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
7007 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
7008 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
7009 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
7010 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
7011 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
7015 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
7016 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
7017 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
7018 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
7020 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
7021 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
7022 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
7023 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
7024 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
7027 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
7028 been tested well enough.
7031 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
7032 it can return incorrect results.
7033 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
7034 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
7037 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
7038 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
7039 include zero length content when signing messages.
7042 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
7043 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
7046 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
7049 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
7053 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
7054 packages. The default package contains applications, application
7055 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
7056 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
7057 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
7058 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
7061 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
7062 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7064 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
7065 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
7067 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
7068 random number < q in the DSA library.
7071 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
7072 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
7073 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
7074 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
7075 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
7076 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
7077 just makes things more complicated.)
7080 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
7084 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
7085 work better on such systems.
7086 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7088 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
7089 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
7090 keyid to the certificates aux info.
7093 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
7094 if there was more than one signature.
7095 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
7097 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
7098 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
7099 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
7100 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
7103 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
7104 rather than always using the current time.
7107 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
7108 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
7109 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
7110 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
7111 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
7112 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
7114 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
7115 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
7117 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
7119 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
7120 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
7121 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
7122 the same hash value.
7124 As a result various functions (which were all internal
7125 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
7126 structure. This will break anything that messed round
7127 with X509_STORE internally.
7129 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
7130 exact match, rather than just subject name.
7132 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
7133 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
7134 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
7135 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
7136 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
7137 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
7138 entirely (maybe later...).
7140 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
7142 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
7143 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
7144 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
7145 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
7146 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
7147 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
7148 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
7149 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
7151 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
7152 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7154 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
7155 to customise the verify behaviour.
7158 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
7159 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
7162 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
7163 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
7164 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
7165 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
7166 request is improperly encoded.
7169 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
7170 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
7173 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
7174 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
7176 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
7177 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
7181 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
7182 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
7183 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
7186 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
7187 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
7188 BIO/fp routines also added.
7191 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
7192 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
7194 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
7195 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
7196 demos/state_machine.
7199 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
7200 generation and verification.
7203 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
7204 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
7205 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
7206 encode and decode it manually.
7209 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
7211 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
7213 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
7214 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
7215 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
7216 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
7218 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
7219 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
7220 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
7221 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
7222 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
7225 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
7228 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
7229 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
7230 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
7232 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
7233 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
7234 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
7235 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
7236 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
7237 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
7238 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
7239 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
7241 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
7242 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
7244 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
7246 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
7247 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
7248 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
7252 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
7253 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
7254 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
7255 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
7259 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
7261 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
7264 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
7265 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
7266 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
7267 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
7268 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
7269 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
7270 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
7271 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
7272 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
7273 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
7274 short or long names are found.
7277 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
7278 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
7280 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
7281 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
7282 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
7283 version rollback attacks was not effective.
7285 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
7286 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
7287 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
7288 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
7291 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
7292 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
7293 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
7296 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
7297 these print out strings and name structures based on various
7298 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
7299 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
7300 to allow the various flags to be set.
7303 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
7304 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
7305 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
7306 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
7307 dates to be checked.
7310 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
7311 negative public key encodings) on by default,
7312 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
7315 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
7316 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
7317 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
7320 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
7321 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
7324 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
7325 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
7326 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
7327 are always statically linked for now, but there are
7328 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
7329 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
7332 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
7333 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
7337 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
7341 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
7342 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
7343 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
7344 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
7345 form signing output easier to verify.
7348 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
7351 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
7352 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
7353 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
7354 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
7355 are needed because all other string types have virtually
7356 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
7357 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
7358 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
7359 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
7360 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
7363 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
7365 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
7366 the syntax given in objects.README.
7367 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
7369 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
7372 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
7373 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
7374 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
7375 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
7376 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
7377 consistent name changes.
7380 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
7383 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
7384 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
7385 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
7386 environment variable, or the default random state file.
7389 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
7390 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
7391 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
7395 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
7396 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
7397 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
7398 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
7401 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
7402 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
7403 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
7404 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
7405 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
7406 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
7407 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
7408 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
7409 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
7410 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
7411 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
7414 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
7415 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
7416 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
7417 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
7418 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
7419 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
7420 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
7421 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
7422 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
7423 algorithm to openssl-dev.
7426 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
7427 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
7428 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
7429 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
7431 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
7432 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
7433 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
7434 omit any duplicate addresses.
7437 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
7438 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
7441 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
7442 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
7443 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
7444 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
7445 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
7448 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
7450 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
7451 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
7452 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
7453 Free => OPENSSL_free
7456 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
7457 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
7460 *) CygWin32 support.
7461 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
7463 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
7464 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
7465 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
7466 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
7467 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
7471 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
7472 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
7473 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
7474 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
7475 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
7476 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
7477 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
7480 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
7481 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
7482 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
7483 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
7484 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
7485 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
7486 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
7487 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
7488 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
7489 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
7490 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
7493 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
7494 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
7495 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
7496 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
7497 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
7499 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
7500 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
7501 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
7502 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
7503 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
7505 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
7508 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
7509 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
7510 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
7511 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
7513 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
7515 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
7518 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
7519 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
7520 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
7523 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
7524 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
7525 any installed hardware versions can.
7528 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
7529 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
7530 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
7534 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
7535 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
7536 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
7537 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
7538 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
7540 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
7541 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
7544 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
7545 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
7548 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
7549 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
7550 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
7554 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
7557 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
7558 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
7559 but no ssl client purpose.
7560 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
7562 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
7563 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
7564 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
7565 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
7566 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
7567 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
7568 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
7569 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
7570 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
7571 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
7572 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
7575 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
7576 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
7577 be obtained from the error queue.
7580 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
7581 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
7582 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
7583 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
7586 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
7589 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
7590 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
7591 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
7592 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
7593 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
7596 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
7597 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
7598 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
7599 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
7600 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
7603 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
7604 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
7605 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
7607 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
7609 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
7610 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
7611 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
7612 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
7613 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
7614 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
7615 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
7616 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
7617 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
7618 or "the configuration storage API"...
7620 The new configuration file reading functions are:
7622 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
7623 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
7625 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
7627 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
7629 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
7630 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
7631 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
7632 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
7633 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
7634 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
7635 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
7637 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
7638 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
7641 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
7642 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
7643 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
7644 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
7647 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
7648 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
7649 them in a portable way.
7650 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
7652 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
7654 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
7656 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
7657 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
7659 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
7660 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
7661 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
7664 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
7665 was larger than the MD block size.
7666 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
7668 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
7669 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
7670 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
7671 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
7675 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
7676 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
7677 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
7679 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
7681 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
7683 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
7684 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
7685 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
7686 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
7687 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
7688 Additional arguments are always ignored.
7690 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
7691 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
7693 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
7694 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
7697 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
7700 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
7701 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
7703 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
7704 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
7705 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanings
7706 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
7709 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
7710 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
7711 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
7712 does not suppress any output.
7715 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
7716 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
7717 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
7718 with all the associated security issues.
7720 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
7721 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
7722 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
7723 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
7724 use the value in the default purpose.
7727 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
7728 and fix a memory leak.
7731 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
7732 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
7733 the default to have only lowercase letters (and digits) in
7734 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
7737 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
7738 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
7739 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
7740 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
7743 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
7744 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
7745 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
7748 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
7749 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
7752 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
7753 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
7757 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
7758 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
7761 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
7762 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
7763 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
7766 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
7767 number generation fails.
7770 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
7773 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
7774 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
7776 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
7779 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
7780 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
7782 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
7783 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
7785 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
7787 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
7788 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
7791 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
7792 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
7794 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
7795 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
7798 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
7799 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
7800 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
7801 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
7802 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
7803 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
7805 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
7806 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
7807 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
7811 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
7812 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
7813 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
7814 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
7815 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
7816 counter, some don't.)
7817 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
7818 counters or duplicate objects.
7821 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
7822 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
7825 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
7826 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
7827 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
7829 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
7830 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
7831 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
7835 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
7836 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
7839 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
7840 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
7841 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
7845 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
7846 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
7847 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
7850 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
7851 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
7852 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
7853 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
7854 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
7855 should work without changes.
7858 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
7859 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
7860 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
7861 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
7862 must be defined. E.g.,
7863 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
7864 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
7865 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
7866 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
7868 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
7872 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
7873 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
7874 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
7877 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
7878 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
7879 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
7880 request header lines. Some software needs this.
7883 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
7884 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
7885 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
7886 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
7887 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
7888 is prompted for as usual.
7891 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
7892 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
7893 autodetect the card and use it if present.
7894 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
7896 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
7897 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
7898 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
7899 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
7902 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
7905 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
7909 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
7912 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
7915 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
7919 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
7922 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
7925 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
7926 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
7929 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
7930 options to produce them.
7933 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
7934 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
7937 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
7941 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
7942 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
7943 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
7944 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
7945 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
7946 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
7947 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
7950 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
7953 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
7954 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
7955 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
7958 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
7959 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
7961 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
7962 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
7965 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
7966 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
7967 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
7971 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
7972 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
7974 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
7975 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
7976 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
7977 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
7978 generation becomes much faster.
7980 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
7981 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
7982 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
7983 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
7984 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
7985 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
7986 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
7987 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
7988 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
7989 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
7992 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
7993 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
7994 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
7995 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
7996 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
7997 trial division stage.
8000 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
8004 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
8007 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
8010 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
8011 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
8012 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
8016 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
8017 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
8018 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
8021 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
8022 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
8023 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
8024 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8026 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
8027 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
8030 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
8033 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
8034 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
8035 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
8036 Rabin-Miller iterations.
8039 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
8040 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
8041 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
8044 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
8045 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
8046 (instead of parameters) in future.
8049 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
8050 when a new cipher list is set.
8053 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
8054 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
8057 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
8058 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
8059 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
8061 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
8062 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
8063 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
8064 an error is flagged.
8066 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
8067 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
8068 the readability was also increased :-)
8069 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8071 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
8072 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
8073 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
8074 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
8078 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
8079 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
8082 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
8083 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
8084 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
8085 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
8088 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
8089 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
8090 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
8091 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
8092 because they handle more complex structures.)
8095 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
8096 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
8097 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
8098 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8100 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
8101 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
8102 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
8103 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
8104 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
8105 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
8106 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
8109 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
8110 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
8111 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
8112 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
8113 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
8116 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
8119 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
8120 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
8121 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
8122 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
8123 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
8126 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
8130 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
8131 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
8132 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
8133 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
8136 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
8139 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
8140 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
8141 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
8142 international characters are used.
8144 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
8145 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
8146 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
8150 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
8151 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
8152 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
8155 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
8156 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
8157 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
8158 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
8159 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
8160 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
8162 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
8163 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
8164 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
8165 be handled by the string table functions.
8167 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
8168 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
8169 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
8170 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
8171 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
8175 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
8176 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
8177 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
8178 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
8179 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
8181 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
8182 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
8183 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
8184 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
8187 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
8188 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
8189 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
8190 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
8191 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
8195 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
8196 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
8197 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
8198 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
8199 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
8200 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
8201 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
8202 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
8204 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
8205 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
8206 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
8209 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
8210 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
8211 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
8212 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
8213 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
8214 support to pkcs8 application.
8217 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
8218 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
8219 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
8220 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
8221 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
8222 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
8225 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
8226 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
8227 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
8228 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
8229 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
8233 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
8234 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
8235 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
8236 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
8240 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
8241 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
8242 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
8243 and any application specific purposes.
8245 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
8246 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
8247 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
8248 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
8249 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
8250 if the certificate is self signed.
8253 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
8254 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
8257 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
8258 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
8259 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
8260 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
8263 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
8264 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
8265 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
8266 Update documentation.
8269 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
8270 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
8271 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
8272 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
8273 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
8276 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
8278 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
8280 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
8281 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
8282 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
8283 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
8284 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
8285 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
8286 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
8287 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
8288 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
8289 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
8291 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
8293 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8294 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8295 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
8296 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
8297 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
8299 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
8300 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
8301 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
8302 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
8303 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
8304 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
8305 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
8306 request additional information:
8307 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
8308 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
8310 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
8311 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
8312 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
8315 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
8316 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
8319 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
8322 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
8323 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
8325 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
8326 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
8327 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
8331 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
8332 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
8333 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
8335 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
8336 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
8337 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
8338 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
8339 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
8340 included in OpenSSL.
8343 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
8344 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
8345 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
8346 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
8347 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
8348 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
8351 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
8355 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
8356 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
8357 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
8358 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
8359 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
8363 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
8367 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
8368 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
8369 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
8370 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
8371 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
8372 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
8373 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
8374 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
8375 be maintained manually.
8377 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
8378 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
8379 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
8380 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
8381 work because people forget to call this function]
8382 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
8383 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
8384 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
8387 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
8388 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
8389 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
8390 should be discouraged from doing it.
8393 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
8394 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
8395 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
8396 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
8397 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
8398 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
8401 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
8402 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
8403 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
8405 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
8406 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
8407 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
8409 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
8410 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
8411 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
8412 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
8413 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
8414 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
8416 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
8417 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
8418 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
8420 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
8421 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
8424 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
8425 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
8426 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
8427 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
8430 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
8433 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
8434 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
8435 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
8436 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
8437 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
8438 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
8439 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
8440 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
8441 keys so we should be OK.
8443 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
8444 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
8445 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
8446 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
8447 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
8448 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
8449 stay in the name of compatibility.
8451 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
8452 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
8453 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
8455 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
8456 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
8457 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
8458 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
8459 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
8460 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
8464 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
8465 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
8466 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
8467 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
8468 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
8469 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
8470 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
8471 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
8472 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
8473 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
8474 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
8475 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
8476 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
8479 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
8482 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
8483 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
8484 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
8485 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
8486 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
8487 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
8488 single self signed certificate. This means that:
8489 openssl verify ss.pem
8490 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
8491 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
8495 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
8496 (and add it to external session representation).
8497 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
8498 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
8499 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
8500 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
8501 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
8502 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
8504 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
8506 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
8507 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
8508 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
8509 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
8511 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
8512 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
8513 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
8516 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
8517 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
8518 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
8522 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
8523 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
8524 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
8526 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
8527 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
8528 certificate auxiliary information.
8531 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
8535 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
8536 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
8537 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
8538 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
8539 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
8540 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
8541 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
8544 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
8545 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
8548 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
8549 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
8550 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
8551 manpages and fix a few bugs.
8554 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
8557 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
8558 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
8561 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
8562 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
8563 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
8564 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
8565 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
8566 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
8567 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
8568 using the new 'x509' options.
8570 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
8571 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
8572 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
8573 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
8577 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
8578 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
8579 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
8580 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
8581 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
8584 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
8585 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
8586 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
8587 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
8588 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
8589 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
8590 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
8591 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
8592 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
8593 the key length and effective key length are equal.
8596 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
8597 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
8598 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
8599 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
8600 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
8601 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
8602 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
8605 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
8606 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
8607 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
8608 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
8609 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
8610 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
8611 openssl.cnf for more info.
8614 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
8615 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
8616 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
8617 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
8618 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
8619 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
8620 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
8621 md should be large enough anyway.
8624 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
8625 for handling the random seed file.
8627 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
8629 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
8632 x509 (when signing).
8633 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
8634 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
8635 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
8637 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
8638 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
8639 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
8640 that support '-rand'.
8643 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
8644 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
8647 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
8648 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
8651 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
8652 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
8653 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
8654 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
8658 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
8659 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
8660 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
8661 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
8664 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
8665 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
8666 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
8667 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
8668 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
8669 print out all the purposes.
8672 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
8676 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
8677 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
8678 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
8679 single function call.
8682 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
8683 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
8686 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
8687 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
8688 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
8691 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
8692 when producing the local key id.
8693 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8695 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
8696 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
8697 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
8701 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
8702 a public key to be input or output. For example:
8703 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
8704 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
8707 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
8708 in the message. This was handled by allowing
8709 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
8710 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
8712 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
8713 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
8714 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
8715 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8717 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
8718 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
8719 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
8720 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
8721 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
8722 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
8723 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
8724 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
8725 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
8726 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
8727 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
8728 trivial: move one line.
8729 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
8731 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
8732 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
8733 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
8734 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
8735 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
8736 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
8737 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
8738 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
8739 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
8740 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
8741 with an event loop for example.
8744 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
8745 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
8746 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
8747 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
8748 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
8749 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
8750 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
8751 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
8752 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
8755 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
8756 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
8757 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
8758 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
8759 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
8760 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
8763 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
8764 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
8765 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
8766 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
8768 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
8769 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
8770 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
8771 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
8775 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
8776 (still largely untested)
8779 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
8780 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
8783 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
8784 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
8787 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
8788 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
8789 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
8792 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
8793 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
8794 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
8795 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
8796 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
8799 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
8802 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
8803 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
8804 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
8805 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
8806 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
8810 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
8811 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
8814 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
8817 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
8818 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
8819 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
8820 are otherwise ignored at present.
8823 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
8824 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
8825 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
8826 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
8827 copied until the next read.
8830 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
8831 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
8832 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
8835 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
8836 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
8837 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
8838 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
8839 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
8840 associated functions.
8843 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
8844 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
8845 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
8846 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
8847 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
8848 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
8849 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
8850 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
8851 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
8855 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
8856 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
8857 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
8858 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
8861 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
8862 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
8863 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
8864 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
8865 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
8869 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
8870 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
8874 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
8875 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
8876 extensions to be obtained and added.
8879 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
8880 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
8883 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
8885 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8886 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8888 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
8889 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
8891 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
8895 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
8896 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
8897 DH parameters contain its length).
8899 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
8900 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
8901 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
8902 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
8903 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
8904 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
8905 utter importance to use
8906 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8908 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8909 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
8910 attacks may become possible!
8913 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
8916 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
8917 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
8920 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
8921 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
8922 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
8926 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
8927 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
8928 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
8929 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
8930 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
8931 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
8932 private key operations.
8935 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
8938 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
8939 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
8941 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
8942 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
8943 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
8944 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
8945 the password callback is called.
8946 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
8948 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
8950 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
8951 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
8952 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
8953 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
8954 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
8955 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
8958 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
8959 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
8960 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
8961 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
8962 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
8963 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
8966 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
8969 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
8970 delete an unused file.
8973 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
8974 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
8975 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
8976 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
8979 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
8980 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
8981 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
8985 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
8986 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
8987 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8989 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
8990 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
8991 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
8992 comparison" warnings.
8993 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
8996 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
8997 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
8998 derived keys are printed to stderr.
9001 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
9002 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
9004 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
9005 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
9007 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
9008 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
9009 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
9011 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
9012 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
9013 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
9014 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
9015 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
9017 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
9019 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
9020 The interface is as follows:
9021 Applications can use
9022 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
9023 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
9024 "off" is now the default.
9025 The library internally uses
9026 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
9027 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
9028 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
9030 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
9031 even the default) are now avoided.
9033 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
9034 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
9035 than just having a counter.
9037 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
9039 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
9043 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
9044 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
9045 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
9046 Initial "mode" flags are:
9048 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
9049 a single record has been written.
9050 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
9051 retries use the same buffer location.
9052 (But all of the contents must be
9056 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
9059 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
9060 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
9062 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
9063 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
9064 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
9067 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
9068 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
9070 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
9072 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
9073 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
9074 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
9075 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
9077 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
9078 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
9080 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
9081 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
9082 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
9083 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
9084 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
9085 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
9088 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
9089 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
9090 necessary function names.
9093 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
9094 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
9095 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
9096 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
9099 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
9100 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
9101 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
9104 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
9105 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
9106 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
9107 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
9109 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
9113 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
9114 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
9115 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
9118 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
9119 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
9123 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
9124 for the encoded length.
9125 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
9127 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
9130 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
9131 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
9132 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
9133 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
9136 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
9137 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
9138 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9140 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
9141 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
9142 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
9146 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
9147 to use the new extension code.
9150 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
9151 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
9152 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
9156 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
9157 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
9158 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
9162 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
9165 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
9166 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
9167 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
9170 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
9171 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
9172 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
9173 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
9176 *) DES library cleanups.
9179 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
9180 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
9181 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
9182 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
9183 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
9187 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
9188 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
9191 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
9192 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
9193 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
9194 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
9195 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
9196 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
9197 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
9198 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
9199 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
9202 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
9203 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
9204 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
9205 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
9206 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
9207 value doesn't matter.
9210 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
9214 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
9215 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
9216 "linux-sparc" configuration.
9217 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
9219 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
9222 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
9223 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
9224 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9226 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
9227 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9229 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
9232 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
9235 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
9238 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
9242 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
9244 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
9246 *) Updated some demos.
9247 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
9249 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
9252 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
9255 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
9258 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
9259 instead of using a fixed path.
9262 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
9265 *) Improvements for VMS support.
9269 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
9271 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
9272 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
9273 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9275 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
9276 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
9277 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
9278 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
9279 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
9280 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
9281 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
9282 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
9283 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
9284 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
9287 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
9288 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
9291 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
9292 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
9293 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
9294 which allows the compiler to do more type checking; it was like
9295 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
9297 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
9300 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
9301 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
9302 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
9305 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
9308 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
9309 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
9310 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
9311 key elements as negative integers.
9314 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
9315 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9318 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
9320 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
9321 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
9322 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
9325 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
9326 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
9327 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
9328 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
9329 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
9332 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
9335 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
9336 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
9337 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
9338 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9340 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
9341 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
9342 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
9344 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
9345 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
9346 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
9347 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
9348 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
9349 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
9350 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
9351 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
9352 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
9354 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
9355 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
9356 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
9357 does not influence s as it used to.
9359 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
9360 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
9361 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
9362 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
9363 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
9364 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
9367 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
9368 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
9369 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
9373 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
9374 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
9375 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
9379 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
9380 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
9381 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
9385 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
9386 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
9389 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
9390 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9395 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
9396 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9398 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
9399 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9401 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
9404 *) Update HPUX configuration.
9407 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
9408 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9410 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
9411 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
9412 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
9416 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
9417 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
9418 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
9419 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
9420 now it really counts the depth.
9423 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
9424 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
9425 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
9426 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
9427 didn't match the private key).
9429 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
9430 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
9431 connection using the SSL_CTX).
9434 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
9437 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
9441 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
9442 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
9443 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
9446 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
9449 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
9450 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
9451 such as /usr/local/bin.
9454 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
9455 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9457 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
9460 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
9461 extension adding in x509 utility.
9464 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
9467 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
9471 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
9474 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
9475 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
9476 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
9477 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
9478 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
9479 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
9480 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
9481 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
9482 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
9483 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
9486 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
9489 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
9490 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
9493 *) Fix some race conditions.
9496 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
9497 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
9500 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
9503 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
9504 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
9505 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
9506 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
9508 *) Fix lots of warnings.
9509 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9511 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
9512 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
9513 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9515 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
9516 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9518 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
9521 *) Fix typos in error codes.
9522 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
9524 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
9527 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
9528 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9530 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
9531 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
9534 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
9535 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
9538 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
9539 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
9542 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
9543 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
9546 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
9547 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
9550 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
9551 support typesafe stack.
9554 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
9555 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
9557 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
9558 old X509V3 handling code.
9561 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
9564 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
9567 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
9570 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
9571 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
9573 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
9574 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
9575 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
9576 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
9577 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
9580 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
9581 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
9582 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
9583 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
9584 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
9586 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
9587 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
9588 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
9589 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9591 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
9592 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
9593 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
9594 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9596 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
9597 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
9598 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
9599 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
9600 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
9601 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
9604 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
9605 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
9608 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
9609 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
9612 *) Tweaks to Configure
9613 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9615 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
9619 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
9622 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
9623 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
9626 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
9627 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
9628 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
9631 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
9634 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
9635 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
9638 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
9639 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
9640 to library startup routines.
9643 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
9644 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
9645 codes along the way.
9648 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
9649 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
9650 objects to objects.h
9653 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
9654 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
9657 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
9658 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
9660 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
9661 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
9662 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
9664 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
9665 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9666 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9668 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
9669 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
9670 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
9673 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
9675 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
9676 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
9679 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
9680 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
9681 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
9682 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
9683 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
9685 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
9686 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
9687 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
9689 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9691 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
9693 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
9695 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
9696 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9698 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
9699 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
9700 if someone would make that last step automatic.
9701 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
9703 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
9706 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
9707 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
9708 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
9709 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
9712 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
9713 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
9714 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
9717 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
9718 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
9719 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
9720 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
9721 installed as `perl').
9722 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9724 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
9725 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9727 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
9728 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
9729 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
9730 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
9731 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
9734 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
9737 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
9738 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
9739 is horrible: I feel ill....
9742 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
9743 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
9744 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
9745 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
9748 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
9749 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9751 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
9752 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
9753 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
9754 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9756 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
9757 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
9758 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
9759 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
9760 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
9761 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
9763 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9765 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
9766 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9768 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
9769 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
9771 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
9774 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
9775 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
9779 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
9780 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
9781 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
9782 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
9783 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
9784 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
9785 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
9786 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
9787 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
9788 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
9789 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9791 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
9794 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
9795 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
9796 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
9797 for linking it into DSOs.
9798 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9800 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
9804 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
9805 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
9806 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
9807 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
9808 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
9809 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9811 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
9812 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
9813 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
9814 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
9815 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
9816 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
9817 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9819 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
9820 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
9821 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
9825 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
9826 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
9827 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
9828 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
9831 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
9832 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
9833 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
9834 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
9835 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
9839 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
9840 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
9841 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
9842 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
9843 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9845 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
9846 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
9847 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9849 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
9850 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9852 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
9853 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
9854 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
9855 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
9856 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
9859 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
9860 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
9861 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
9862 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
9863 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
9864 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
9865 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
9868 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
9870 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
9871 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
9874 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
9875 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
9877 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
9878 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
9881 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
9882 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
9883 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
9884 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
9885 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
9887 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
9888 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
9889 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
9890 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
9891 no way to reconfigure them.
9892 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
9893 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
9894 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
9895 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
9896 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
9897 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9899 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
9900 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
9901 recognized by the users.
9902 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9904 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
9905 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
9906 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
9907 already masked variable.
9908 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9910 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
9911 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9913 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
9914 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
9915 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
9916 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9918 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
9919 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
9920 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9922 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
9923 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
9924 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
9925 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
9926 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
9927 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
9928 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
9929 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
9931 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9933 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
9934 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
9935 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9937 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
9938 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
9942 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
9943 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9945 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
9946 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
9947 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
9948 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
9951 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
9954 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
9955 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9957 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
9960 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
9961 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
9964 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
9965 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
9968 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
9969 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
9970 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
9971 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
9972 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
9973 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
9974 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
9977 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
9978 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9980 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
9981 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
9982 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
9983 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
9984 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9986 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
9987 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
9988 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
9991 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
9992 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
9996 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
9997 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
9998 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10000 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
10001 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
10002 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
10003 build instructions.
10006 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
10007 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
10008 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
10009 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
10012 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
10013 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
10014 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
10015 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
10018 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
10019 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
10020 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
10021 so it wasn't spotted.
10022 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
10024 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
10025 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
10026 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
10027 vectors if you have them.
10030 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
10031 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
10034 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
10035 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
10036 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
10037 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
10039 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
10040 it will update them.
10043 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
10044 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
10045 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
10046 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
10047 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
10048 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
10049 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
10050 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10052 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
10053 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
10054 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
10055 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
10056 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
10057 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
10058 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
10059 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
10060 the crypto/md/ stuff).
10061 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10063 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
10064 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
10065 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
10066 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
10067 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
10070 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
10074 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
10075 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10077 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
10078 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10080 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
10081 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
10084 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
10085 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
10087 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
10088 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
10090 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
10093 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
10097 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
10098 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
10099 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
10100 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10102 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10105 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10108 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
10111 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
10112 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
10115 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
10116 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
10120 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
10121 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
10124 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
10125 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
10126 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
10129 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
10130 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
10131 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
10132 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
10133 properly to be processed.
10136 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
10137 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
10138 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
10141 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
10142 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
10144 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
10145 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
10146 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
10147 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
10148 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
10149 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
10150 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
10151 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
10152 or delete all the .err files.
10155 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
10156 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
10157 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
10158 to regenerate it if needed.
10159 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
10160 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
10162 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
10163 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10165 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
10166 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
10167 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
10168 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
10169 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
10172 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
10173 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10175 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
10176 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10178 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
10179 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
10180 error, but didn't set one).
10181 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10183 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
10186 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
10187 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
10190 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
10191 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
10193 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
10194 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
10195 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
10196 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
10197 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
10198 OID is not part of the table.
10201 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
10202 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
10205 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
10208 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
10209 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
10213 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
10214 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
10216 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
10218 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10220 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
10221 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10223 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
10224 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10226 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
10227 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10229 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
10230 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
10233 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
10234 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
10237 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
10238 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10240 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
10241 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10243 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
10244 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10246 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
10247 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10249 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
10250 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
10251 unused in the certificate verification process.
10252 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10254 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
10255 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
10258 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
10259 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
10260 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
10262 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
10263 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
10264 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
10265 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
10266 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
10268 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
10269 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
10272 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
10275 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
10278 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
10279 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
10281 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
10284 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
10287 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
10290 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
10291 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
10292 other error libraries.
10295 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
10298 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
10299 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
10303 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
10304 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
10305 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
10306 the new set of documenation files.
10307 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10309 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
10310 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
10311 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
10312 number of arguments.
10313 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
10315 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
10318 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
10319 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
10320 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10322 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
10325 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
10329 unixware-2.0-pentium
10333 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
10334 before they are needed.
10337 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
10341 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
10343 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
10344 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
10345 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10347 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
10350 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
10351 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
10352 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10354 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
10355 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
10356 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
10358 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
10359 when "ssleay" is still not found.
10360 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10362 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
10363 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
10365 *) Updated the README file.
10366 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10368 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
10369 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
10370 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10372 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
10373 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
10374 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10376 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
10377 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
10378 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
10379 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
10380 o removed obsolete TODO file
10381 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
10382 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10384 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
10385 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
10386 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

10389 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
10390 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10392 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
10395 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
10396 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
10397 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
10399 [The OpenSSL Project]
10402 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
10404 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
10407 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
10410 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
10411 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
10414 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
10415 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
10419 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
10421 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
10423 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
10426 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
10429 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
10432 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
10435 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
10438 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
10441 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
10444 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
10447 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
10450 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
10453 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
10456 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
10459 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
10462 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
10465 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
10468 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
10471 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
10474 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
10475 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
10476 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
10479 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
10480 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
10483 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
10486 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
10489 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
10490 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
10493 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
10496 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
10499 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
10500 bytes sent in the client random.
