5 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
8 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
9 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
10
11 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
12 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
13 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
14
15 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
16 compilation flags.
17 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
18
19 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
20 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
21 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
22
23 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
24 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
25
26 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
27 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
28 server.
29
30 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
31 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
32 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
33 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
34
35 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
36 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
37 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
38 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
39
40 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
41 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
42 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
43
44 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
45 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
46 [Steve Henson]
47
48 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
49
50 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
51 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
52
53 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
54 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
55
56 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
57 effect.
58
59 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
60
61 [Steve Henson]
62
63 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
64 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
65 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
66 algorithms and include tests cases.
67 [Steve Henson]
68
69 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
70 enveloped data.
71 [Steve Henson]
72
73 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
74 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
75 [Steve Henson]
76
77 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
78 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
79 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
80 [Steve Henson]
81
82 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
83 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
84
85 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
86 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
87 [Steve Henson]
88
89 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
90 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
91 failures.
92 [Steve Henson]
93
94 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
95 sign or verify all in one operation.
96 [Steve Henson]
97
98 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
99 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
100 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
101 [Steve Henson]
102
103 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
104 [Steve Henson]
105
106 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
107 [Steve Henson]
108
109 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
110 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
111 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
112 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
113 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
114 [Steve Henson]
115
116 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
117 based on NID.
118 [Steve Henson]
119
120 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
121 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
122 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
123 [Steve Henson]
124
125 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
126 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
127 [Steve Henson]
128
129 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
130 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
131
132 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
133 POST to handle HMAC cases.
134 [Steve Henson]
135
136 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
137 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
138 [Steve Henson]
139
140 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
141 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
142 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
143 [Steve Henson]
144
145 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
146 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
147 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
148 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
149 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
150 requested amount of entropy.
151 [Steve Henson]
152
153 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
154 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
155 [Steve Henson]
156
157 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
158 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
159 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
160 support.
161 [Steve Henson]
162
163 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
164 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
165 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
166 [Steve Henson]
167
168 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
169 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
170 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
171 will never use XTS mode.
172 [Steve Henson]
173
174 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
175 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
176 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
177 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
178 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
179 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
180 [Steve Henson]
181
182 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
183 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
184 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
185 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
186 [Steve Henson]
187
188 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
189 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
190 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
191 [Steve Henson]
192
193 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
194 [Steve Henson]
195
196 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
197 [Steve Henson]
198
199 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
200 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
201 [Steve Henson]
202
203 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
204 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
205 [Steve Henson]
206
207 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
208 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
209 [Steve Henson]
210
211 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
212 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
213 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
214 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
215 and rename any affected symbols.
216 [Steve Henson]
217
218 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
219 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
220 [Steve Henson]
221
222 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
223 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
224 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
225 [Steve Henson]
226
227 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
228 [Steve Henson]
229
230 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
231 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
232 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
233 [Steve Henson]
234
235 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
236 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
237 [Steve Henson]
238
239 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
240 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
241 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
242 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
243 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
244 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
245 set before the key.
246 [Steve Henson]
247
248 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
249 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
250 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
251 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
252 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
253 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
254 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
255 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
256 [Steve Henson]
257
258 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
259 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
260 [Steve Henson]
261
262 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
263
264 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
265 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
266
267 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
268 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
269 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
270 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
271 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
272 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
273
274 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
275 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
276 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
277 security.
278 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
279
280 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
281 parameters by name.
282 [Steve Henson]
283
284 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
285 Add CMAC pkey methods.
286 [Steve Henson]
287
288 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
289 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
290 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
291 [Steve Henson]
292
293 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
294 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
295 multi-process servers.
296 [Steve Henson]
297
298 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
299 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
300 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
301 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
302 RAND_METHOD structure.
303 [Steve Henson]
304
305 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
306 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
307 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
308 whose return value is often ignored.
309 [Steve Henson]
310
311 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.2 [xx XXX xxxx]
312
313 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
314 (other platforms pending).
315 [Shay Gueron (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
316
317 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
318 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
319 [Rob Stradling]
320
321 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
322 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
323 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
324 [Bodo Moeller]
325
326 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
327 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
328 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
329 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
330 [Andy Polyakov]
331
332 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
333 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
334
335 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
336 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
337 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
338 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
339 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
340
341 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
342 [Andy Polyakov]
343
344 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
345 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
346 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
347 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
348
349 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
350 RSAZ.
351 [Shay Gueron (Intel Corp)]
352
353 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
354 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
355 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
356 for TLS encrypt.
357
358 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
359 [Andy Polyakov]
360
361 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
362 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
363 [Steve Henson]
364
365 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
366 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
367 [Steve Henson]
368
369 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
370 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
371 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
372 algorithms and include tests cases.
373 [Steve Henson]
374
375 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
376 structure.
377 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
378
379 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
380 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
381 [Steve Henson]
382
383 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
384 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
385 summary of the connection parameters.
386 [Steve Henson]
387
388 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
389 of connection parameters.
390 [Steve Henson]
391
392 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
393 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
394
395 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
396 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
397 [Steve Henson]
398
399 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
400 [Steve Henson]
401
402 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
403 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
404 [Steve Henson]
405
406 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
407 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
408 [Steve Henson]
409
410 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
411 certificates.
412 [Steve Henson]
413
414 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
415 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
416 CRLs using the OCSP API.
417 [Steve Henson]
418
419 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
420 [Steve Henson]
421
422 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
423 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
424 [Steve Henson]
425
426 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
427 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
428 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
429 tracing.
430 [Steve Henson]
431
432 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
433 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
434 [Steve Henson]
435
436 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
437 OID NID.
438 [Steve Henson]
439
440 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
441 client to OpenSSL.
442 [Steve Henson]
443
444 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
445 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
446 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
447 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
448 [Steve Henson]
449
450 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
451 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
452 [Steve Henson]
453
454 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
455 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
456 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
457 comparison.
458 [Steve Henson]
459
460 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
461 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
462 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
463 use the certificate.
464 [Steve Henson]
465
466 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
467 [Steve Henson]
468
469 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
470 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
471 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
472 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
473 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
474 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
475 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
476
477 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
478 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
479
480 [Steve Henson]
481
482 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
483 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
484 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
485 [Steve Henson]
486
487 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
488 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
489 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
490 supported signature algorithms.
491 [Steve Henson]
492
493 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
494 [Steve Henson]
495
496 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
497 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
498 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
499 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
500 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
501 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
502 certificate and specify the whole chain.
503 [Steve Henson]
504
505 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
506 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
507 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
508 to have similar checks in it.
509
510 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
511 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
512 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
513 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
514 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
515 [Steve Henson]
516
517 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
518 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
519 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
520 shared signature algorithms.
521 [Steve Henson]
522
523 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
524 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
525 to support them.
526 [Steve Henson]
527
528 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
529 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
530 it couldn't be removed.
531 [Steve Henson]
532
533 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
534 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
535 [Steve Henson]
536
537 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
538 functions. Add manual page.
539 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
540
541 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
542 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
543 a certificate.
544 [Steve Henson]
545
546 *) Fix OCSP checking.
547 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
548
549 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
550 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
551 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
552 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
553 utility) or reject.
554 [Steve Henson]
555
556 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
557 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
558 [Steve Henson]
559
560 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
561 platform support for Linux and Android.
562 [Andy Polyakov]
563
564 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
565 [Andy Polyakov]
566
567 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
568 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
569 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
570 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
571 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
572 [Steve Henson]
573
574 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
575 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
576 the new parameter format automatically.
577 [Steve Henson]
578
579 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
580 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
581 [Steve Henson]
582
583 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
584 [Steve Henson]
585
586 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
587 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
588 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
589 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
590 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
591 [Steve Henson]
592
593 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
594 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
595 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
596 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
597 to set list of supported curves.
598 [Steve Henson]
599
600 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
601 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
602 to print out received values.
603 [Steve Henson]
604
605 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
606 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
607 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
608 [Steve Henson]
609
610 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
611 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
612 [Steve Henson]
613
614 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
615 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
616 [Steve Henson]
617
618 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
619 certificates.
620 [Steve Henson]
621
622 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
623 the certificate.
624 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
625 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
626 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
627
628 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
629
630 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
631
632 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original: this
633 will reject any improperly encoded DigestInfo structures.
634
635 Note: this is a precautionary measure OpenSSL and no attacks
636 are currently known.
637
638 [Steve Henson]
639
640 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
641 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
642 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
643
644 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
645 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
646 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
647
648 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
649 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
650 in a DoS attack.
651
652 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
653 (CVE-2014-0221)
654 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
655
656 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
657 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
658 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
659 code on a vulnerable client or server.
660
661 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
662 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
663
664 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
665 are subject to a denial of service attack.
666
667 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
668 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
669 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
670
671 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
672 compilation flags.
673 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
674
675 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
676 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
677 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
678
679 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
680 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
681
682 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
683
684 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
685 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
686 server.
687
688 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
689 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
690 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
691 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
692
693 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
694 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
695 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
696 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
697
698 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
699 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
700 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
701
702 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
703
704 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
705 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
706 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
707 is at least 512 bytes long.
708
709 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
710
711 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
712
713 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
714 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
715 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
716 (CVE-2013-4353)
717
718 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
719 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
720 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
721 [Steve Henson]
722
723 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
724 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
725 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
726 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
727 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
728 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
729 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
730
731 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
732
733 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
734 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
735 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
736
737 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
738
739 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
740
741 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
742 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
743 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
744
745 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
746 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
747 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
748 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
749 (CVE-2013-0169)
750 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
751
752 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
753 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
754 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
755 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
756 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
757 (CVE-2012-2686)
758 [Adam Langley]
759
760 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
761 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
762 [Steve Henson]
763
764 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
765 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
766
767 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
768 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
769 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
770 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
771 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
772
773 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
774 [Steve Henson]
775
776 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
777 if renegotiating.
778 [Steve Henson]
779
780 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
781
782 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
783 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
784
785 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
786 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
787 (CVE-2012-2333)
788 [Steve Henson]
789
790 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
791 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
792 [Steve Henson]
793
794 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
795 approved.
796 [Steve Henson]
797
798 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
799
800 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
801 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
802 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
803 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
804 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
805 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
806 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
807 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
808 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
809 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
810 [Steve Henson]
811
812 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
813 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
814 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
815 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
816 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
817 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
818 client side.
819 [Andy Polyakov]
820
821 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
822
823 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
824 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
825 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
826
827 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
828 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
829 (CVE-2012-2110)
830 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
831
832 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
833 [Adam Langley]
834
835 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
836 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
837
838 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
839 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
840 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
841 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
842 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
843 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
844 Most broken servers should now work.
845 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
846 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
847 [Steve Henson]
848
849 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
850 [Andy Polyakov]
851
852 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
853
854 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
855 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
856 [Steve Henson]
857
858 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
859 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
860 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
861 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
862 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
863 [Steve Henson]
864
865 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
866 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
867 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
868 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
869 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
870 [Steve Henson]
871
872 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
873 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
874
875 *) Add support for SCTP.
876 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
877
878 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
879 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
880
881 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
882
883 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
884 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
885 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
886 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
887 - s390x: z196 support;
888 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
889
890 [Andy Polyakov]
891
892 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
893 (removal of unnecessary code)
894 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
895
896 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
897 [Eric Rescorla]
898
899 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
900 [Eric Rescorla]
901
902 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
903 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
904 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
905 by Google.
906 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
907
908 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
909 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
910 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
911 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
912 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
913
914 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
915 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
916 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
917
918 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
919 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
920 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
921
922 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
923 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
924 implementations).
925 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
926
927 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
928 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
929 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
930 [Steve Henson]
931
932 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
933 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
934 particular PSS.
935 [Steve Henson]
936
937 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
938 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
939 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
940 [Steve Henson]
941
942 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
943 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
944 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
945 the appropriate parameters.
946 [Steve Henson]
947
948 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
949 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
950 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
951 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
952 against a number of sample certificates.
953 [Steve Henson]
954
955 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
956 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
957
958 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
959 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
960
961 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
962 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
963 parameters r, s.
964 [Steve Henson]
965
966 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
967 RFC3211.
968 [Steve Henson]
969
970 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
971 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
972 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
973 password based CMS).
974 [Steve Henson]
975
976 *) Session-handling fixes:
977 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
978 but also support Session Tickets.
979 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
980 presented a ticket with an expired session.
981 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
982 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
983 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
984 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
985
986 *) Fix PSK session representation.
987 [Bodo Moeller]
988
989 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
990
991 This work was sponsored by Intel.
992 [Andy Polyakov]
993
994 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
995 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
996 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
997 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
998 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
999 [Steve Henson]
1000
1001 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
1002 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
1003 [Steve Henson]
1004
1005 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
1006 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
1007 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
1008 [Steve Henson]
1009
1010 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
1011 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
1012 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
1013 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
1014 [Steve Henson]
1015
1016 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
1017 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
1018 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
1019 [Steve Henson]
1020
1021 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
1022 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
1023
1024 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
1025 [Steve Henson]
1026
1027 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
1028 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
1029 [Steve Henson]
1030
1031 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1032 [Steve Henson]
1033
1034 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
1035 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
1036 [Steve Henson]
1037
1038 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
1039 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
1040 [Steve Henson]
1041
1042 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
1043 [Steve Henson]
1044
1045 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
1046 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
1047 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
1048 [Steve Henson]
1049
1050 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1051 [Steve Henson]
1052
1053 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1054 [Steve Henson]
1055
1056 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
1057 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
1058 [Steve Henson]
1059
1060 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
1061 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
1062 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
1063 [Steve Henson]
1064
1065 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
1066 [Steve Henson]
1067
1068 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
1069 and enable MD5.
1070 [Steve Henson]
1071
1072 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
1073 FIPS modules versions.
1074 [Steve Henson]
1075
1076 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
1077 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
1078 until after the certificate request message is received.
1079 [Steve Henson]
1080
1081 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
1082 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
1083 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
1084 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
1085 [Steve Henson]
1086
1087 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
1088 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
1089 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
1090 support yet and no support for client certificates.
1091 [Steve Henson]
1092
1093 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
1094 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
1095 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
1096 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
1097 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
1098 and version checking.
1099 [Steve Henson]
1100
1101 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
1102 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
1103 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
1104 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
1105 [Steve Henson]
1106
1107 *) Add SRP support.
1108 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1109
1110 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
1111 [Steve Henson]
1112
1113 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
1114 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
1115 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1116
1117 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
1118 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
1119 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
1120 [Steve Henson]
1121
1122 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
1123 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
1124
1125 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
1126 a few changes are required:
1127
1128 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
1129 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
1130 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
1131 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
1132 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
1133 [Steve Henson]
1134
1135 Changes between 1.0.0j and 1.0.0k [5 Feb 2013]
1136
1137 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1138
1139 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1140 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1141 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1142
1143 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1144 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1145 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1146 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1147 (CVE-2013-0169)
1148 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1149
1150 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1151 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1152 [Steve Henson]
1153
1154 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1155 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1156 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1157 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1158 (This is a backport)
1159 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1160
1161 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1162 [Steve Henson]
1163
1164 Changes between 1.0.0i and 1.0.0j [10 May 2012]
1165
1166 [NB: OpenSSL 1.0.0i and later 1.0.0 patch levels were released after
1167 OpenSSL 1.0.1.]
1168
1169 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
1170 to fix DoS attack.
1171
1172 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1173 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1174 (CVE-2012-2333)
1175 [Steve Henson]
1176
1177 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1178 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1179 [Steve Henson]
1180
1181 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.0i [19 Apr 2012]
1182
1183 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1184 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1185 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1186
1187 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1188 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1189 (CVE-2012-2110)
1190 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1191
1192 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
1193
1194 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
1195 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
1196 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
1197 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
1198 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
1199 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
1200 an MMA defence is not necessary.
1201 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
1202 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
1203 [Steve Henson]
1204
1205 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
1206 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
1207 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
1208 [Steve Henson]
1209
1210 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
1211
1212 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1213 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1214 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1215 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1216 [Antonio Martin]
1217
1218 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
1219
1220 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1221 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1222 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1223 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1224 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1225 paper describing this attack can be found at:
1226 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
1227 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1228 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1229 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
1230 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
1231 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
1232 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
1233
1234 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
1235 (CVE-2011-4576)
1236 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1237
1238 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
1239 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
1240 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
1241 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1242
1243 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
1244 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
1245
1246 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
1247 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
1248 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
1249 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1250
1251 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1252 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1253
1254 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
1255 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1256
1257 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1258 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1259
1260 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1261 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1262 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1263
1264 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1265 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1266 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1267
1268 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1269 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1270 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1271 the last update always remained unused).
1272 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1273
1274 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
1275 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
1276
1277 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
1278
1279 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
1280 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
1281 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
1282
1283 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1284 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
1285 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1286
1287 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1288 [Bodo Moeller]
1289
1290 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
1291 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
1292 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
1293 [Steve Henson]
1294
1295 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1296 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
1297
1298 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
1299
1300 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
1301
1302 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
1303
1304 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1305 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1306
1307 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1308 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1309 ambiguous.
1310 [Steve Henson]
1311
1312 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
1313
1314 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1315 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1316 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1317 [Steve Henson]
1318
1319 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1320 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1321 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1322 [Ben Laurie]
1323
1324 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
1325
1326 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1327 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1328 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1329 [Steve Henson]
1330
1331 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
1332 a DLL.
1333 [Steve Henson]
1334
1335 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
1336
1337 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
1338 (CVE-2010-1633)
1339 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
1340
1341 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
1342
1343 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
1344 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
1345 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
1346 [Steve Henson]
1347
1348 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
1349 [Steve Henson]
1350
1351 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
1352 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
1353 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
1354
1355 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
1356 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
1357 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
1358 [Steve Henson]
1359
1360 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
1361 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
1362 [Steve Henson]
1363
1364 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
1365 some responders need this.
1366 [Steve Henson]
1367
1368 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
1369 correctly.
1370 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1371
1372 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
1373 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
1374 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
1375 [Steve Henson]
1376
1377 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
1378 [Steve Henson]
1379
1380 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
1381 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
1382 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
1383 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
1384 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
1385 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
1386 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
1387 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
1388 [Steve Henson]
1389
1390 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
1391 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
1392 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
1393 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1394
1395 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
1396 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
1397
1398 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
1399 be used on C++.
1400 [Steve Henson]
1401
1402 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
1403 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
1404 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
1405 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
1406 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
1407 attempting to work them out.
1408 [Steve Henson]
1409
1410 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
1411 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
1412 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
1413 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
1414 [Steve Henson]
1415
1416 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
1417 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
1418 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
1419 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
1420 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
1421 [Steve Henson]
1422
1423 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
1424 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
1425 you can do:
1426
1427 openssl sha256 foo
1428
1429 as well as:
1430
1431 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
1432
1433 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
1434
1435 [Steve Henson]
1436
1437 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
1438 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1439
1440 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
1441 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
1442
1443 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
1444 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
1445 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
1446 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
1447 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
1448 [Steve Henson]
1449
1450 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
1451 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
1452 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
1453 [Steve Henson]
1454
1455 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
1456 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
1457 [Steve Henson]
1458
1459 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
1460 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
1461
1462 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
1463 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
1464 [Steve Henson]
1465
1466 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
1467 [Ben Laurie]
1468
1469 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
1470 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
1471 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
1472 CONF_VALUE.
1473 [Ben Laurie]
1474
1475 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
1476 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
1477 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
1478 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
1479 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
1480 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
1481 [Steve Henson]
1482
1483 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
1484 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
1485
1486 This work was sponsored by Google.
1487 [Steve Henson]
1488
1489 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
1490 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
1491 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
1492 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
1493 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
1494 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
1495 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
1496 default.
1497
1498 This work was sponsored by Google.
1499 [Steve Henson]
1500
1501 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
1502
1503 This work was sponsored by Google.
1504 [Steve Henson]
1505
1506 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
1507 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
1508 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
1509 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
1510
1511 This work was sponsored by Google.
1512 [Steve Henson]
1513
1514 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
1515 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
1516 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
1517 CRL functionality in future.
1518
1519 This work was sponsored by Google.
1520 [Steve Henson]
1521
1522 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
1523
1524 This work was sponsored by Google.
1525 [Steve Henson]
1526
1527 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
1528 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
1529
1530 This work was sponsored by Google.
1531 [Steve Henson]
1532
1533 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
1534 and URI types are currently supported.
1535
1536 This work was sponsored by Google.
1537 [Steve Henson]
1538
1539 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
1540 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
1541 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
1542 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
1543 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
1544 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
1545 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
1546 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
1547
1548 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
1549 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
1550 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
1551
1552 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
1553 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
1554 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
1555 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
1556
1557 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
1558 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
1559 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
1560 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
1561 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
1562 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
1563 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
1564 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
1565 of &errno.)
1566 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
1567
1568 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
1569 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
1570 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
1571
1572 This work was sponsored by Google.
1573 [Steve Henson]
1574
1575 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
1576 [Ben Laurie]
1577
1578 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1579 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
1580 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
1581 [Ben Laurie]
1582
1583 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
1584 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
1585 [Nick Mathewson]
1586
1587 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1588 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
1589 [Ben Laurie]
1590
1591 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
1592 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
1593 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
1594 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
1595 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
1596 content types and variants.
1597 [Steve Henson]
1598
1599 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
1600 [Steve Henson]
1601
1602 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
1603 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
1604 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
1605 files from the associated perl scripts.
1606 [Steve Henson]
1607
1608 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
1609 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
1610 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1611
1612 *) s390x assembler pack.
1613 [Andy Polyakov]
1614
1615 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
1616 "family."
1617 [Andy Polyakov]
1618
1619 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
1620 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
1621 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
1622 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
1623 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
1624 to use. For example, specify an option
1625
1626 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
1627
1628 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
1629 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
1630 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
1631 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
1632 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
1633 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
1634
1635 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
1636 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
1637 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
1638 return non-zero for success.
1639
1640 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
1641 by using
1642
1643 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
1644 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1645
1646 where
1647
1648 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
1649 void *arg;
1650
1651 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
1652 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
1653 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
1654 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
1655 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
1656 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
1657 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
1658 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
1659 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
1660
1661 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
1662 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
1663 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
1664 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
1665 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
1666 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
1667
1668 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
1669 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
1670 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
1671 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
1672 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
1673 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
1674
1675 [Bodo Moeller]
1676
1677 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
1678 MAC.
1679
1680 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1681
1682 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1683 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1684 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1685 supported.
1686
1687 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1688 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1689 SSL_SESSION.
1690
1691 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1692 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1693 with no application modification.
1694
1695 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1696 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1697
1698 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1699 or server extensions to be examined.
1700
1701 This work was sponsored by Google.
1702 [Steve Henson]
1703
1704 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
1705 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
1706 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
1707
1708 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
1709 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
1710 ciphersuite support.
1711 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
1712
1713 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
1714 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
1715 to output in BER and PEM format.
1716 [Steve Henson]
1717
1718 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
1719 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
1720 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
1721 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
1722 -macopt options to dgst utility.
1723 [Steve Henson]
1724
1725 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
1726 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
1727 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
1728 utility.
1729 [Steve Henson]
1730
1731 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
1732 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
1733 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
1734 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
1735 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
1736 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
1737 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
1738 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
1739 enabled again.
1740
1741 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
1742 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
1743 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
1744 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
1745
1746 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
1747 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
1748 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
1749 the default order.
1750 [Bodo Moeller]
1751
1752 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
1753 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
1754 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
1755 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
1756 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
1757 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
1758 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
1759 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
1760 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
1761
1762 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
1763 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
1764 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
1765 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
1766 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
1767 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
1768 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
1769 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
1770 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
1771 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
1772 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
1773 kinds of kludges.
1774
1775 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
1776 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
1777 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
1778
1779 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
1780 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
1781 "CAMELLIA256".
1782 [Bodo Moeller]
1783
1784 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
1785 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
1786 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
1787 [Nils Larsch]
1788
1789 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
1790 it yet and it is largely untested.
1791 [Steve Henson]
1792
1793 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
1794 [Nils Larsch]
1795
1796 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
1797 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
1798 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
1799 [Steve Henson]
1800
1801 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
1802 [Andy Polyakov]
1803
1804 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
1805 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
1806 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
1807 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
1808 [Steve Henson]
1809
1810 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
1811 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
1812 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
1813 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
1814 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
1815 [Steve Henson]
1816
1817 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
1818 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
1819 [Cryptocom]
1820
1821 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
1822 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
1823 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
1824 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
1825 [Steve Henson]
1826
1827 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
1828 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
1829 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
1830 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
1831 [Steve Henson]
1832
1833 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
1834 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
1835 [Steve Henson]
1836
1837 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
1838 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
1839 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
1840 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
1841 [Steve Henson]
1842
1843 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
1844 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
1845 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
1846 [Steve Henson]
1847
1848 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1849 utility.
1850 [Steve Henson]
1851
1852 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1853 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1854 [Steve Henson]
1855
1856 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1857 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1858 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1859 if necessary.
1860 [Steve Henson]
1861
1862 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1863 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1864 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1865 [Steve Henson]
1866
1867 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1868 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1869 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1870 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1871 [Steve Henson]
1872
1873 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1874 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1875 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1876 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1877 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1878 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1879 [Douglas Stebila]
1880
1881 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1882 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1883 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1884 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1885 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1886
1887 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1888 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1889 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1890 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1891 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1892 protocol).
1893
1894 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1895 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1896 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1897 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1898
1899 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1900 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1901 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1902 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1903 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1904
1905 aECDH - ECDH cert
1906 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
1907 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
1908
1909 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1910 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1911
1912 [Bodo Moeller]
1913
1914 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1915 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1916 [Steve Henson]
1917
1918 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1919 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1920 [Steve Henson]
1921
1922 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1923 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1924 functional reference processing.
1925 [Steve Henson]
1926
1927 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1928 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1929 process.
1930 [Steve Henson]
1931
1932 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1933 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1934 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1935 [Steve Henson]
1936
1937 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1938 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1939 application to support multiple signers.
1940 [Steve Henson]
1941
1942 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1943 digest MAC.
1944 [Steve Henson]
1945
1946 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1947 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1948 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1949 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1950 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1951 [Steve Henson]
1952
1953 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1954 new API.
1955 [Steve Henson]
1956
1957 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1958 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1959 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1960 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1961 a no op.
1962 [Steve Henson]
1963
1964 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1965 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1966 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1967 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
1968 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1969 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1970 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1971 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1972 [Steve Henson]
1973
1974 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1975 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1976 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1977 between digests and public key types.
1978 [Steve Henson]
1979
1980 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1981 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1982 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1983 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1984 [Steve Henson]
1985
1986 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1987 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1988 key ASN1 method.
1989 [Steve Henson]
1990
1991 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1992 [Steve Henson]
1993
1994 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1995 pkeyutl.
1996 [Steve Henson]
1997
1998 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1999 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
2000 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
2001 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
2002 pkey, genpkey.
2003 [Steve Henson]
2004
2005 *) BeOS support.
2006 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2007
2008 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
2009 manual pages.
2010 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2011
2012 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
2013 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
2014 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
2015 functionality for RSA.
2016 [Steve Henson]
2017
2018 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
2019 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
2020 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
2021 [Steve Henson]
2022
2023 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
2024 key API, doesn't do much yet.
2025 [Steve Henson]
2026
2027 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
2028 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
2029 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
2030 [Steve Henson]
2031
2032 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
2033 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2034 [Douglas Stebila]
2035
2036 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
2037 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
2038 [Steve Henson]
2039
2040 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
2041 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
2042 type.
2043 [Steve Henson]
2044
2045 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
2046 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
2047 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
2048 structure.
2049 [Steve Henson]
2050
2051 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
2052 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
2053 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
2054 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
2055 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
2056 of public and private key structures.
2057 [Steve Henson]
2058
2059 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
2060 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2061 [Douglas Stebila]
2062
2063 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
2064 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
2065 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
2066
2067 New ciphersuites:
2068 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
2069 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
2070
2071 New functions:
2072 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
2073 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
2074 SSL_get_psk_identity
2075 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
2076
2077 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
2078
2079 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
2080 and response verification functionality.
2081 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
2082
2083 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2084 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2085 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2086 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2087 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2088 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2089 server_name extension.
2090
2091 New functions (subject to change):
2092
2093 SSL_get_servername()
2094 SSL_get_servername_type()
2095 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
2096
2097 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2098
2099 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2100 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2101 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2102 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2103 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2104
2105 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2106
2107 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2108 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2109 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2110 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2111 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
2112 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2113 option.
2114
2115 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
2116
2117 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
2118 [Andy Polyakov]
2119
2120 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
2121 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
2122 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
2123 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
2124 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
2125 [Andy Polyakov]
2126
2127 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
2128 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
2129 macro.
2130 [Bodo Moeller]
2131
2132 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
2133 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
2134 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
2135 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
2136 [Andy Polyakov]
2137
2138 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
2139 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
2140 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
2141 using the maximum available value.
2142 [Steve Henson]
2143
2144 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
2145 in addition to the text details.
2146 [Bodo Moeller]
2147
2148 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
2149 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
2150 handle several customised structures at all.
2151 [Steve Henson]
2152
2153 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
2154 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
2155 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
2156 [Steve Henson]
2157
2158 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
2159 [Steve Henson]
2160
2161 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
2162 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
2163 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
2164 [Steve Henson]
2165
2166 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
2167 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
2168 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
2169 [Nils Larsch]
2170
2171 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
2172 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
2173 all fields.
2174 [Steve Henson]
2175
2176 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
2177 [Steve Henson]
2178
2179 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
2180 [NTT]
2181
2182 Changes between 0.9.8x and 0.9.8y [5 Feb 2013]
2183
2184 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2185
2186 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2187 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2188 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2189
2190 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2191 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2192 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2193 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2194 (CVE-2013-0169)
2195 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2196
2197 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2198 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2199 [Steve Henson]
2200
2201 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2202 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2203 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2204 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2205 (This is a backport)
2206 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2207
2208 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2209 [Steve Henson]
2210
2211 Changes between 0.9.8w and 0.9.8x [10 May 2012]
2212
2213 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
2214 to fix DoS attack.
2215
2216 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2217 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2218 (CVE-2012-2333)
2219 [Steve Henson]
2220
2221 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2222 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2223 [Steve Henson]
2224
2225 Changes between 0.9.8v and 0.9.8w [23 Apr 2012]
2226
2227 *) The fix for CVE-2012-2110 did not take into account that the
2228 'len' argument to BUF_MEM_grow and BUF_MEM_grow_clean is an
2229 int in OpenSSL 0.9.8, making it still vulnerable. Fix by
2230 rejecting negative len parameter. (CVE-2012-2131)
2231 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2232
2233 Changes between 0.9.8u and 0.9.8v [19 Apr 2012]
2234
2235 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2236 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2237 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2238
2239 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2240 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2241 (CVE-2012-2110)
2242 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2243
2244 Changes between 0.9.8t and 0.9.8u [12 Mar 2012]
2245
2246 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2247 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2248 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2249 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2250 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2251 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2252 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2253 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2254 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2255 [Steve Henson]
2256
2257 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2258 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2259 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2260 [Steve Henson]
2261
2262 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
2263
2264 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2265 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2266 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2267 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2268 [Antonio Martin]
2269
2270 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
2271
2272 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2273 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2274 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2275 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2276 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2277 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2278 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2279 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2280 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2281 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2282 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2283 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2284 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2285
2286 *) Stop policy check failure freeing same buffer twice. (CVE-2011-4109)
2287 [Ben Laurie, Kasper <ekasper@google.com>]
2288
2289 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2290 (CVE-2011-4576)
2291 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2292
2293 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2294 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2295 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2296 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2297
2298 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2299 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2300 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2301 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2302
2303 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2304 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2305
2306 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2307 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2308
2309 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2310 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2311 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2312
2313 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2314 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2315 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2316
2317 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2318 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2319 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2320 the last update always remained unused).
2321 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2322
2323 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2324 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
2325 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2326
2327 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2328 [Bodo Moeller]
2329
2330 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2331 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2332
2333 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2334
2335 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2336
2337 Changes between 0.9.8q and 0.9.8r [8 Feb 2011]
2338
2339 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2340 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2341
2342 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2343 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2344 ambiguous.
2345 [Steve Henson]
2346
2347 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
2348
2349 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2350 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2351 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2352 [Steve Henson]
2353
2354 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2355 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2356 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2357 [Ben Laurie]
2358
2359 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
2360
2361 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2362 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2363 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2364 [Steve Henson]
2365
2366 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
2367 [Steve Henson]
2368
2369 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
2370 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
2371 some broken encodings work correctly.
2372 [Steve Henson]
2373
2374 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
2375 is also one of the inputs.
2376 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
2377
2378 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
2379 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
2380 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
2381 etc are non-op.
2382 [Steve Henson]
2383
2384 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
2385
2386 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
2387 OpenSSL 1.0.0.]
2388
2389 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
2390 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
2391 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
2392
2393 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
2394 common in certificates and some applications which only call
2395 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
2396 [Steve Henson]
2397
2398 *) VMS fixes:
2399 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
2400 Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com
2401 Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
2402 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
2403
2404 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
2405
2406 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
2407 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
2408 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
2409 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
2410 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
2411 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
2412 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
2413 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
2414
2415 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
2416 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
2417 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2418
2419 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
2420
2421 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
2422 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
2423
2424 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
2425 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
2426 [Bodo Moeller]
2427
2428 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
2429 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
2430 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
2431 [Steve Henson]
2432
2433 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
2434 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
2435 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
2436 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
2437 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
2438 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
2439 [Steve Henson]
2440
2441 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
2442 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
2443 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
2444 [Steve Henson]
2445
2446 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
2447 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
2448 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
2449 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
2450 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
2451 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
2452 CVE-2009-4355.
2453 [Steve Henson]
2454
2455 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
2456 change when encrypting or decrypting.
2457 [Bodo Moeller]
2458
2459 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
2460 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
2461 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
2462 [Steve Henson]
2463
2464 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
2465 [Steve Henson]
2466
2467 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
2468 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
2469 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
2470 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
2471 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
2472 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
2473 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
2474 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
2475 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
2476 [Steve Henson]
2477
2478 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
2479 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
2480 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
2481 [Steve Henson]
2482
2483 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
2484 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
2485 [Steve Henson]
2486
2487 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
2488 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
2489 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
2490 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
2491 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
2492 know what you are doing.
2493 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
2494
2495 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
2496 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
2497 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
2498 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
2499 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
2500 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
2501 the handshake.
2502 [Steve Henson]
2503
2504 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
2505 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
2506 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
2507 correctly.
2508 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2509
2510 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
2511 warnings in other configurations.
2512 [Steve Henson]
2513
2514 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
2515 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
2516 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
2517 systems need.
2518 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
2519
2520 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
2521 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
2522 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
2523
2524 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
2525 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
2526 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
2527 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
2528 [Steve Henson]
2529
2530 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
2531 and restored.
2532 [Steve Henson]
2533
2534 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
2535 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
2536 clash.
2537 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2538
2539 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
2540 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
2541 other than a simple chain.
2542 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
2543
2544 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
2545 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
2546 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
2547 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
2548 [Steve Henson]
2549
2550 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
2551 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
2552 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
2553 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
2554 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
2555 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
2556 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
2557 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
2558 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2559
2560 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
2561 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
2562 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
2563 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
2564 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
2565 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
2566 (CVE-2009-1377)
2567 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2568
2569 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
2570 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
2571 [Daniel Mentz]
2572
2573 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
2574 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
2575
2576 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
2577 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
2578
2579 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
2580
2581 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
2582 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
2583 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
2584 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
2585 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
2586 you're doing.
2587 [Ben Laurie]
2588
2589 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
2590
2591 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
2592 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
2593 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
2594 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
2595
2596 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
2597 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
2598 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
2599 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2600
2601 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
2602 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
2603 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
2604 [Steve Henson]
2605
2606 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
2607 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
2608 level.
2609 [Steve Henson]
2610
2611 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
2612 to handle some structures.
2613 [Steve Henson]
2614
2615 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
2616 for a '\n'
2617 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
2618
2619 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
2620 [Matthieu Herrb]
2621
2622 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
2623 [Steve Henson]
2624
2625 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
2626 [Steve Henson]
2627
2628 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
2629 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
2630 chosen compiler.
2631 [Ben Laurie]
2632
2633 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
2634
2635 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
2636 (CVE-2008-5077).
2637 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
2638
2639 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
2640 [Ben Laurie]
2641
2642 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
2643 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
2644 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
2645 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
2646
2647 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
2648 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
2649
2650 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
2651 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
2652 [Bodo Moeller]
2653
2654 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
2655 s_client and s_server.
2656 [Ben Laurie]
2657
2658 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
2659 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2660
2661 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
2662 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
2663
2664 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
2665 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
2666 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
2667 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
2668 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
2669 [Bodo Moeller]
2670
2671 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
2672
2673 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
2674 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
2675 [PR #1679]
2676
2677 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
2678 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
2679 [Nagendra Modadugu]
2680
2681 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
2682 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
2683 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
2684 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
2685
2686 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
2687 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
2688
2689 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
2690
2691 *) Various precautionary measures:
2692
2693 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
2694
2695 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
2696 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
2697 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
2698
2699 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
2700 outside the expected range.
2701
2702 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
2703 builds.
2704
2705 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
2706
2707 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
2708 the load fails. Useful for distros.
2709 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
2710
2711 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
2712 [Steve Henson]
2713
2714 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
2715 [Huang Ying]
2716
2717 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
2718
2719 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2720 [Steve Henson]
2721
2722 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
2723 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
2724 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
2725
2726 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2727 [Steve Henson]
2728
2729 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
2730 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
2731 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
2732 files.
2733 [Steve Henson]
2734
2735 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
2736
2737 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
2738 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
2739 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
2740 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
2741
2742 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
2743 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
2744 [Joe Orton]
2745
2746 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
2747
2748 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
2749 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
2750 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
2751
2752 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
2753
2754 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
2755 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
2756 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
2757 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
2758 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2759
2760 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
2761 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
2762 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
2763 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
2764 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
2765 invalid read after the end of 'db').
2766 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2767
2768 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
2769
2770 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
2771 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
2772 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
2773 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
2774 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
2775
2776 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
2777 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
2778
2779 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
2780 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
2781 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
2782 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
2783 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
2784
2785 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
2786
2787 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
2788 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
2789 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
2790 sets may exist with different names.
2791 [Steve Henson]
2792
2793 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
2794 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
2795 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
2796 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
2797 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
2798 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
2799 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
2800 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
2801 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
2802 implementation.
2803 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
2804
2805 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
2806 implemention in the following ways:
2807
2808 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
2809 hard coded.
2810
2811 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
2812 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
2813 ignored for embedded content.
2814
2815 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
2816 with the enable-cms configuration option.
2817 [Steve Henson]
2818
2819 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
2820 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
2821 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
2822 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
2823
2824 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
2825 uncompresses any data passed through it.
2826 [Steve Henson]
2827
2828 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
2829 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
2830 [Steve Henson]
2831
2832 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
2833 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
2834 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
2835 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
2836 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
2837 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
2838 data.
2839 [Steve Henson]
2840
2841 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
2842 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
2843 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2844
2845 *) Netware support:
2846
2847 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
2848 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
2849 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
2850 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
2851 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
2852 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
2853 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
2854 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
2855 platform
2856 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
2857 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
2858 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
2859 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
2860 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
2861 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
2862 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
2863
2864 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
2865 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
2866 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
2867 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
2868 to s_client and s_server.
2869 [Steve Henson]
2870
2871 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
2872
2873 *) Fix various bugs:
2874 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
2875 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
2876 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
2877 + Fix ia64 assembler code
2878 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2879
2880 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
2881
2882 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
2883 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
2884 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
2885 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
2886 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
2887 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
2888 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
2889 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
2890 [Andy Polyakov]
2891
2892 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
2893 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
2894 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
2895 Steve Henson]
2896
2897 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2898 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2899 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2900 supported.
2901
2902 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2903 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2904 SSL_SESSION.
2905
2906 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2907 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2908 with no application modification.
2909
2910 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2911 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2912
2913 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2914 or server extensions to be examined.
2915
2916 This work was sponsored by Google.
2917 [Steve Henson]
2918
2919 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2920 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2921 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2922 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2923 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2924 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2925 server_name extension.
2926
2927 New functions (subject to change):
2928
2929 SSL_get_servername()
2930 SSL_get_servername_type()
2931 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
2932
2933 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2934
2935 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2936 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2937 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2938 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2939 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2940
2941 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2942
2943 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2944 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2945 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2946 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2947 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
2948 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2949 option.
2950
2951 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2952
2953 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2954 [Steve Henson]
2955
2956 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2957 [Andy Polyakov]
2958
2959 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2960 (which previously caused an internal error).
2961 [Bodo Moeller]
2962
2963 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2964 [Ben Laurie]
2965
2966 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2967 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2968
2969 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2970 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2971 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2972
2973 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2974 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2975 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2976 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2977
2978 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2979 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2980 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2981 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2982
2983 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2984 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2985 information. For detailed background information, see
2986 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2987 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2988 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2989 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2990 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2991 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2992 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2993 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2994 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2995 remove a conditional branch.
2996
2997 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2998 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2999 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
3000 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
3001 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
3002 remains as a deprecated alias.
3003
3004 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
3005 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
3006 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
3007 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
3008
3009 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
3010 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
3011 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
3012 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
3013 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
3014 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
3015 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
3016 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
3017
3018 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
3019
3020 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
3021 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
3022 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
3023 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
3024 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
3025 with applications using a single external cache for quite
3026 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
3027 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
3028 in a different context.
3029 [Bodo Moeller]
3030
3031 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3032 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3033 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3034 [Bodo Moeller]
3035
3036 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
3037 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
3038 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
3039
3040 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
3041
3042 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
3043 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
3044 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3045 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
3046 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
3047 [Victor Duchovni]
3048
3049 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
3050 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
3051 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
3052 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
3053 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
3054 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
3055 [Bodo Moeller]
3056
3057 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3058 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3059 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3060 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3061 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3062 [Bodo Moeller]
3063
3064 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
3065 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
3066
3067 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3068 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3069 Improve header file function name parsing.
3070 [Steve Henson]
3071
3072 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
3073 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
3074 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
3075
3076 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
3077
3078 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3079 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3080 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3081
3082 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3083 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3084
3085 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3086 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3087
3088 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3089 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3090 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3091
3092 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
3093 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
3094 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
3095 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
3096 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
3097 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
3098 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
3099 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
3100 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
3101
3102 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
3103 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
3104 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
3105 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
3106 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
3107
3108 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
3109 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
3110 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
3111 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
3112 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
3113 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
3114 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
3115 multiple values to extend the available space.
3116
3117 [Bodo Moeller]
3118
3119 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
3120
3121 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3122 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3123
3124 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
3125 [Ben Laurie]
3126
3127 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3128 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3129 undesirable limitations.
3130 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3131
3132 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
3133 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
3134 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
3135 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
3136 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
3137 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
3138 to avoid potential handshake problems.
3139 [Bodo Moeller]
3140
3141 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3142
3143 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3144 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3145 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3146
3147 The latter two were purportedly from
3148 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3149 appear there.
3150
3151 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
3152 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3153 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3154 [Bodo Moeller]
3155
3156 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3157 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3158 [Bodo Moeller]
3159
3160 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
3161 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
3162 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
3163 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
3164
3165 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3166 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3167 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
3168 [NTT]
3169
3170 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
3171 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
3172 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
3173 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
3174 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
3175 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
3176 [Steve Henson]
3177
3178 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
3179
3180 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
3181 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
3182 [Steve Henson]
3183
3184 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
3185 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
3186
3187 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3188 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
3189 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
3190 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
3191 [Douglas Stebila]
3192
3193 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
3194 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
3195 [Steve Henson]
3196
3197 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
3198 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
3199 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
3200 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
3201 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
3202 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
3203 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
3204 can't be loaded.
3205 [Steve Henson]
3206
3207 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
3208 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
3209 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
3210 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
3211 [Steve Henson]
3212
3213 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
3214 under VC++ build system.
3215 [Steve Henson]
3216
3217 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
3218 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
3219 [Richard Levitte]
3220
3221 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
3222
3223 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3224 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3225 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3226 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3227 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3228
3229 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3230 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3231 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3232
3233 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
3234 [Steve Henson]
3235
3236 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
3237 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3238 [Nils Larsch]
3239
3240 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
3241 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
3242
3243 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
3244 [Nick Mathewson]
3245
3246 *) Extended Windows CE support.
3247 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
3248
3249 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
3250 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3251 [Steve Henson]
3252
3253 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
3254 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
3255 smime utility.
3256 [Steve Henson]
3257
3258 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
3259
3260 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3261 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
3262
3263 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
3264 [Richard Levitte]
3265
3266 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
3267 key into the same file any more.
3268 [Richard Levitte]
3269
3270 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
3271 [Andy Polyakov]
3272
3273 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
3274 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
3275
3276 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
3277 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
3278 [Richard Levitte]
3279
3280 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
3281 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
3282 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
3283 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
3284 this only applies when building 'shared'.
3285 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
3286
3287 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
3288 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
3289 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
3290 [Steve Henson]
3291
3292 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
3293 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
3294 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
3295 - add new function for parameter creation
3296 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
3297 BN_BLINDING parameters
3298 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
3299 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
3300 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
3301 threads.
3302 [Nils Larsch]
3303
3304 *) Add support for DTLS.
3305 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3306
3307 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
3308 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
3309 [Walter Goulet]
3310
3311 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
3312 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
3313 [Nils Larsch]
3314
3315 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
3316 the apps/openssl applications.
3317 [Nils Larsch]
3318
3319 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
3320 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
3321 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
3322 [Ben Laurie]
3323
3324 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
3325 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
3326
3327 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
3328 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
3329
3330 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
3331 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
3332 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
3333 avoid this algorithm.)
3334
3335 [Bodo Moeller]
3336
3337 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
3338 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
3339 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
3340 [Richard Levitte]
3341
3342 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
3343 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
3344 [Andy Polyakov]
3345
3346 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
3347 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
3348 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
3349 pod file:
3350
3351 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
3352
3353 The blank line is mandatory.
3354
3355 [Steve Henson]
3356
3357 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
3358 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
3359 sources.
3360 [Steve Henson]
3361
3362 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
3363 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
3364
3365 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
3366 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
3367 to support policy checking and print out.
3368 [Steve Henson]
3369
3370 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
3371 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
3372 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
3373 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
3374
3375 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
3376 [Geoff Thorpe]
3377
3378 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
3379 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
3380
3381 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
3382 implementation contributed by IBM.
3383 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
3384
3385 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
3386 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
3387 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
3388 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
3389
3390 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
3391 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
3392
3393 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
3394 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
3395 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
3396 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
3397 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
3398 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
3399 [Steve Henson]
3400
3401 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
3402 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
3403 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
3404 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
3405 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
3406 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
3407 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
3408 [Geoff Thorpe]
3409
3410 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
3411 [Steve Henson]
3412
3413 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
3414 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
3415 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
3416 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
3417 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
3418 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
3419 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
3420 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
3421 [Steve Henson]
3422
3423 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
3424 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
3425 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
3426 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
3427 [Steve Henson]
3428
3429 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
3430 syntax:
3431
3432 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
3433 [Steve Henson]
3434
3435 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
3436 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
3437 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
3438 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
3439 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
3440 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
3441 BN_CTX's "bundling".
3442 [Geoff Thorpe]
3443
3444 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
3445 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
3446 [Geoff Thorpe]
3447
3448 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
3449 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
3450 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
3451 [Steve Henson]
3452
3453 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
3454 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
3455 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
3456 below).
3457 [Geoff Thorpe]
3458
3459 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
3460 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
3461 [Richard Levitte]
3462
3463 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
3464 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
3465 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
3466 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
3467 [Geoff Thorpe]
3468
3469 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
3470 initialised value as BN_new().
3471 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
3472
3473 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
3474 [Steve Henson]
3475
3476 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
3477 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
3478 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
3479 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
3480 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
3481 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
3482 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
3483 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
3484 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
3485 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
3486 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
3487 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
3488 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
3489 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
3490 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
3491
3492 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
3493 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
3494 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
3495 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
3496 [Geoff Thorpe]
3497
3498 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
3499 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
3500 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
3501 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
3502 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
3503 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
3504 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
3505 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
3506 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
3507 [Geoff Thorpe]
3508
3509 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
3510 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
3511 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
3512 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
3513 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
3514 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
3515 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
3516 [Geoff Thorpe]
3517
3518 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
3519 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
3520 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
3521 these have been updated also.
3522 [Geoff Thorpe]
3523
3524 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
3525 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
3526 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
3527 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
3528 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
3529 functions.
3530 [Steve Henson]
3531
3532 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
3533 structure of type "other".
3534 [Steve Henson]
3535
3536 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
3537 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
3538 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
3539 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
3540 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
3541 situation in the script.
3542 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3543
3544 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3545 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
3546 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
3547 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
3548 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
3549 used as premaster secret.
3550 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3551
3552 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
3553 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
3554 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3555
3556 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
3557 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
3558
3559 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
3560 control of the error stack.
3561 [Richard Levitte]
3562
3563 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
3564 [Richard Levitte]
3565
3566 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
3567 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
3568 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
3569 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
3570 [Richard Levitte]
3571
3572 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
3573 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
3574 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
3575 [Richard Levitte]
3576
3577 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
3578 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
3579 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
3580 a memory area.
3581 [Richard Levitte]
3582
3583 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
3584 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
3585 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
3586 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
3587 [Richard Levitte]
3588
3589 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
3590 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
3591 the following flags are defined:
3592
3593 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
3594 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3595 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
3596 number.
3597
3598 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
3599 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3600 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
3601 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
3602 returns zero.
3603 [Richard Levitte]
3604
3605 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
3606 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
3607 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
3608 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
3609 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
3610 [Richard Levitte]
3611
3612 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
3613 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
3614 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
3615 [Richard Levitte]
3616
3617 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3618 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3619 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3620 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3621 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3622 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3623 [Richard Levitte]
3624
3625 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
3626 req and dirName.
3627 [Steve Henson]
3628
3629 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
3630 [Steve Henson]
3631
3632 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
3633 [Steve Henson]
3634
3635 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
3636 [Steve Henson]
3637
3638 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
3639 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
3640 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
3641 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
3642 default implementation more easily.
3643 [Geoff Thorpe]
3644
3645 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
3646 in config files.
3647 [Steve Henson]
3648
3649 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
3650 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
3651 [Richard Levitte]
3652
3653 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
3654 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
3655 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
3656 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
3657
3658 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
3659 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
3660 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
3661 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
3662 [Steve Henson]
3663
3664 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
3665 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
3666 to do it.
3667 [Richard Levitte]
3668
3669 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
3670 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
3671 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
3672 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
3673 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
3674 scalar * generator).
3675 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
3676
3677 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
3678 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
3679 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
3680 correctly.
3681 [Steve Henson]
3682
3683 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
3684 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
3685 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
3686 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
3687 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
3688 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
3689 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
3690 linker additions, eg;
3691 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
3692 [Geoff Thorpe]
3693
3694 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
3695 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
3696 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
3697 [Geoff Thorpe]
3698
3699 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3700 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3701 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
3702 via PR#459)
3703 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3704
3705 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
3706 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
3707 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
3708 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
3709 [Geoff Thorpe]
3710
3711 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
3712 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
3713 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
3714 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
3715 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
3716 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
3717 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
3718 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
3719 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
3720 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
3721
3722 Example for using the new callback interface:
3723
3724 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
3725 void *my_arg = ...;
3726 BN_GENCB my_cb;
3727
3728 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
3729
3730 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
3731 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
3732 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
3733 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
3734 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
3735 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
3736 */
3737
3738 [Geoff Thorpe]
3739
3740 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
3741 available to TLS with the number defined in
3742 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
3743 [Richard Levitte]
3744
3745 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
3746 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
3747
3748 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
3749 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3750 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3751 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
3752
3753 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
3754 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
3755
3756 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
3757 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
3758 well.
3759 [Richard Levitte]
3760
3761 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
3762 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
3763 [Richard Levitte]
3764
3765 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
3766 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
3767 and a macro that behave like
3768 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
3769
3770 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
3771 [Nils Larsch]
3772
3773 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
3774 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
3775 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
3776 if applicable.
3777 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3778
3779 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
3780 [Bodo Moeller]
3781
3782 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
3783 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
3784 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
3785 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
3786 directory engines/.
3787 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
3788 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
3789 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
3790 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
3791 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
3792 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
3793 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
3794 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
3795
3796 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
3797 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
3798 [Richard Levitte]
3799
3800 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
3801 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
3802
3803 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
3804 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
3805 files while avoiding the low level API.
3806
3807 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
3808 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
3809 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
3810 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
3811
3812 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
3813 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
3814 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
3815 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
3816 instead of the low level API.
3817 [Steve Henson]
3818
3819 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
3820 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
3821 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
3822 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
3823 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
3824 PKCS#7 code.
3825
3826 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
3827 down to the template encoder.
3828 [Steve Henson]
3829
3830 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
3831 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
3832 [Bodo Moeller]
3833
3834 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
3835 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
3836 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
3837 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3838
3839 *) Add ECDH engine support.
3840 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3841
3842 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
3843 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3844
3845 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
3846 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
3847 [Bodo Moeller]
3848
3849 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
3850 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
3851 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
3852 [Bodo Moeller]
3853
3854 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
3855 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
3856
3857 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3858 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3859
3860 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
3861 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
3862 New EC_METHOD:
3863
3864 EC_GF2m_simple_method
3865
3866 New API functions:
3867
3868 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
3869 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
3870 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
3871 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3872 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3873 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
3874
3875 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
3876 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
3877 enable it).
3878
3879 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
3880 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
3881 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
3882 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
3883 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
3884 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
3885 various internal method names.)
3886
3887 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
3888 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
3889
3890 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3891 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3892
3893 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
3894 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
3895
3896 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
3897 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
3898 methods are undefined.
3899
3900 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3901 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3902
3903 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
3904 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
3905 length of the modulus.
3906
3907 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3908 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3909
3910 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
3911 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
3912
3913 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3914 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3915
3916 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
3917 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
3918 used) in the following functions [macros]:
3919
3920 BN_GF2m_add
3921 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
3922 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
3923 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
3924 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
3925 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
3926 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
3927 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
3928 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
3929 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
3930
3931 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
3932 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
3933
3934 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
3935 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
3936 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
3937 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
3938 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
3939 where
3940 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
3941 This applies to the following functions:
3942
3943 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
3944 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
3945 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
3946 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3947 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3948 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
3949 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3950 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3951 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
3952 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
3953
3954 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3955
3956 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
3957 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
3958
3959 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3960
3961 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3962 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3963 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3964 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3965 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3966
3967 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3968 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3969
3970 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
3971 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
3972 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
3973
3974 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
3975 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
3976
3977 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
3978 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
3979 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
3980 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
3981 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3982
3983 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
3984 functions
3985 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
3986 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
3987 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
3988 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
3989 These control ASN1 encoding details:
3990 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
3991 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
3992 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
3993 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
3994 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
3995 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
3996 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
3997
3998 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
3999 functions
4000 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
4001 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
4002 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
4003 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
4004 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4005
4006 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
4007 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
4008 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
4009 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4010
4011 *) Add functions
4012 EC_POINT_point2bn()
4013 EC_POINT_bn2point()
4014 EC_POINT_point2hex()
4015 EC_POINT_hex2point()
4016 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
4017 EC_POINT_oct2point().
4018 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4019
4020 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
4021 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
4022 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
4023 EC_GROUP_get_order()
4024 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
4025 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
4026 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
4027 adding different types of curves.
4028 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
4029
4030 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
4031 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
4032 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
4033 [Bodo Moeller]
4034
4035 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
4036 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
4037
4038 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
4039 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
4040 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
4041 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4042
4043 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
4044
4045 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
4046 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
4047
4048 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
4049 library. Most notably,
4050 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
4051 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
4052 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
4053 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
4054 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
4055 extracted before the specific public key;
4056 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
4057 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4058
4059 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
4060 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
4061 function
4062 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
4063 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
4064 EC_get_builtin_curves().
4065 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
4066 accessed via
4067 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
4068 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
4069 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
4070
4071 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4072 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4073 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4074 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4075 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4076 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4077 differing sizes.
4078 [Richard Levitte]
4079
4080 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
4081
4082 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
4083 sensitive data.
4084 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
4085
4086 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4087 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4088 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4089 [Bodo Moeller]
4090
4091 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
4092 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4093 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
4094 [Victor Duchovni]
4095
4096 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
4097 [Steve Henson]
4098
4099 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
4100 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
4101 [Steve Henson]
4102
4103 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
4104 run algorithm test programs.
4105 [Steve Henson]
4106
4107 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
4108 [Steve Henson]
4109
4110 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4111 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4112 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4113 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4114 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4115 [Bodo Moeller]
4116
4117 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4118 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4119 [Steve Henson]
4120
4121 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
4122
4123 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4124 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4125 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4126
4127 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4128 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4129
4130 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4131 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4132
4133 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4134 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4135 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4136
4137 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
4138 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
4139 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
4140 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
4141 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
4142 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
4143 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
4144 [Bodo Moeller]
4145
4146 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
4147
4148 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4149 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4150
4151 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4152 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4153 undesirable limitations.
4154 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4155
4156 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4157
4158 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4159 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4160 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4161
4162 The latter two were purportedly from
4163 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4164 appear there.
4165
4166 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
4167 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4168 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4169 [Bodo Moeller]
4170
4171 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
4172 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4173 [Bodo Moeller]
4174
4175 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
4176
4177 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
4178 module in FIPS mode.
4179 [Steve Henson]
4180
4181 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
4182 [Steve Henson]
4183
4184 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
4185 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
4186 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
4187 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
4188 [Steve Henson]
4189
4190 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
4191
4192 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
4193 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
4194 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
4195 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
4196 the difference induced by this change.
4197 [Andy Polyakov]
4198
4199 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
4200
4201 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4202 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4203 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4204 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4205 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4206
4207 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4208 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4209 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4210
4211 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
4212 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
4213 [Steve Henson]
4214
4215 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
4216 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
4217 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
4218 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
4219 biased k.)
4220 [Bodo Moeller]
4221
4222 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
4223 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
4224 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
4225 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
4226 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
4227
4228 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
4229 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
4230 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
4231 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
4232 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
4233 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
4234
4235 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
4236
4237 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
4238 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
4239 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
4240 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
4241 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
4242 [Bodo Moeller]
4243
4244 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
4245 clients need.
4246 [Steve Henson]
4247
4248 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
4249 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
4250 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
4251 [Steve Henson]
4252
4253 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
4254 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
4255 structures constant.
4256 [Steve Henson]
4257
4258 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
4259
4260 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4261 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4262
4263 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
4264 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
4265 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
4266 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
4267 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
4268 some needed definitions.
4269 [Steve Henson]
4270
4271 *) Undo Cygwin change.
4272 [Ulf Möller]
4273
4274 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
4275 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
4276 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
4277 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
4278 [Richard Levitte]
4279
4280 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
4281
4282 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
4283 server and client random values. Previously
4284 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
4285 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
4286
4287 This change has negligible security impact because:
4288
4289 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
4290 data.
4291
4292 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
4293 handshake.
4294
4295 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
4296 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
4297 values.
4298
4299 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
4300 to our attention.
4301
4302 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
4303
4304 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
4305 [Ulf Möller]
4306
4307 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
4308 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
4309 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
4310
4311 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
4312 [Steve Henson]
4313
4314 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
4315 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
4316 [Andy Polyakov]
4317
4318 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
4319 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
4320 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
4321
4322 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
4323 [Steve Henson]
4324
4325 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
4326 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
4327 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
4328 certificates.
4329 [Steve Henson]
4330
4331 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
4332 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
4333 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
4334 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
4335
4336 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
4337 has chosen to ignore this fault)
4338 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
4339 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
4340 been given)
4341 [Richard Levitte]
4342
4343 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
4344
4345 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
4346 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
4347 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
4348 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
4349 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
4350 [Steve Henson]
4351
4352 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
4353 [Steve Henson]
4354
4355 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
4356 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
4357
4358 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
4359 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
4360 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
4361 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
4362 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
4363 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
4364 rather than being initialized to 1.
4365 [Steve Henson]
4366
4367 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
4368
4369 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4370 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4371 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4372
4373 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
4374 (CVE-2004-0112)
4375 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4376
4377 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4378 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4379 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4380 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4381 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4382 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4383 [Richard Levitte]
4384
4385 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
4386 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
4387 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
4388 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
4389 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
4390 for these cases.
4391 [Steve Henson]
4392
4393 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
4394 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
4395 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
4396 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
4397 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
4398 [Steve Henson]
4399
4400 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
4401 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
4402 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
4403 < 0.9.7.
4404 [Steve Henson]
4405
4406 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
4407 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4408
4409 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
4410 [Steve Henson]
4411
4412 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
4413
4414 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4415
4416 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4417 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4418
4419 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
4420
4421 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4422 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4423
4424 [Steve Henson]
4425
4426 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
4427 exiting on the first error in a request.
4428 [Steve Henson]
4429
4430 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4431 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4432 specifications.
4433 [Steve Henson]
4434
4435 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4436 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4437 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4438 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4439
4440 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4441 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4442 [Richard Levitte]
4443
4444 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
4445 blocks during encryption.
4446 [Richard Levitte]
4447
4448 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
4449 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
4450 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
4451 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
4452 certain size.
4453 [Steve Henson]
4454
4455 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
4456 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
4457 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
4458 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
4459 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
4460 parser.
4461 [Steve Henson]
4462
4463 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
4464
4465 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4466 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4467 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4468 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4469 [Bodo Moeller]
4470
4471 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4472 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4473 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4474 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4475 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4476
4477 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4478 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4479 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4480 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4481 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4482 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4483 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4484 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4485 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4486 [Bodo Moeller]
4487
4488 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
4489 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
4490 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
4491 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
4492 [Geoff Thorpe]
4493
4494 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
4495 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
4496 [Ulf Moeller]
4497
4498 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
4499
4500 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4501 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
4502 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4503 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4504 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4505
4506 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4507 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4508 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4509
4510 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
4511 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
4512 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
4513 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
4514 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
4515
4516 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
4517 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
4518 used by default when no-err is given.
4519 [Richard Levitte]
4520
4521 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
4522 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
4523
4524 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
4525 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
4526 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
4527 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
4528 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
4529
4530 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
4531 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
4532 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
4533 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
4534
4535 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
4536
4537 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
4538
4539 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
4540
4541 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
4542 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
4543 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
4544 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
4545 root is omitted).
4546 [Steve Henson]
4547
4548 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
4549 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4550
4551 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
4552 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
4553 [Steve Henson]
4554
4555 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4556 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4557 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
4558 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
4559 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4560
4561 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
4562 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
4563 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
4564 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
4565 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
4566 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4567 followup to PR #377.
4568 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4569
4570 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
4571 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
4572 [Andy Polyakov]
4573
4574 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
4575 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
4576 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
4577 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
4578
4579 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
4580
4581 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
4582 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
4583
4584 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
4585 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
4586 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
4587 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
4588 client and server.
4589 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4590 PR #377.
4591 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4592
4593 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
4594 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
4595 removed entirely.
4596 [Richard Levitte]
4597
4598 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
4599 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
4600 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
4601 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
4602 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
4603 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
4604 of libcrypto.
4605 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
4606 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
4607 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
4608 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
4609 have to be made anyway).
4610 [Richard Levitte]
4611
4612 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
4613 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
4614 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
4615 [Steve Henson]
4616
4617 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
4618 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
4619 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
4620 [Richard Levitte]
4621
4622 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
4623 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
4624 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4625
4626 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
4627 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
4628 edit numbers of the version.
4629 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4630
4631 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
4632 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
4633 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
4634
4635 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
4636 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4637
4638 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4639 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4640 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4641
4642 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
4643 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4644
4645 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
4646 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4647
4648 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
4649 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4650
4651 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
4652 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4653
4654 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
4655 overflows.
4656 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4657
4658 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
4659 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
4660 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4661
4662 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
4663 representations in a platform independent manner.
4664 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4665
4666 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4667 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4668 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4669
4670 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
4671 indents.
4672 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4673
4674 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
4675 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4676
4677 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
4678 full. Fixed.
4679 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4680
4681 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
4682 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
4683 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4684
4685 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
4686 unconditionally).
4687 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4688
4689 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
4690 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4691
4692 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
4693 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4694
4695 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
4696 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4697
4698 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
4699 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4700
4701 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
4702 CBCParameter.
4703 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4704
4705 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
4706 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4707
4708 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
4709 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4710
4711 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
4712 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
4713 exploitable.
4714 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4715
4716 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
4717 the 0.9.6 release series:
4718
4719 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4720 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
4721 (CVE-2002-0657)
4722 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4723
4724 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
4725 [Richard Levitte]
4726
4727 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
4728 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
4729
4730 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
4731 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
4732
4733 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
4734 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
4735 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
4736 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
4737
4738 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
4739 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
4740 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
4741
4742 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
4743 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
4744 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
4745 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4746
4747 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
4748 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
4749 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
4750 some local tweaks:
4751
4752 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
4753 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
4754 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
4755 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4756 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4757 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
4758 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
4759 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
4760 done
4761
4762 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
4763 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
4764 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
4765 [Richard Levitte]
4766
4767 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
4768 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
4769 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
4770 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
4771 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
4772
4773 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
4774 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
4775
4776 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
4777 error in AES-CFB decryption.
4778 [Richard Levitte]
4779
4780 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
4781 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
4782 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
4783 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
4784 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
4785 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
4786 [Steve Henson]
4787
4788 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
4789 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
4790 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
4791 [Steve Henson]
4792
4793 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
4794 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
4795 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4796
4797 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
4798 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
4799 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
4800 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
4801 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
4802 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
4803 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
4804 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4805
4806 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
4807 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
4808 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
4809 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
4810 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
4811 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
4812 [Steve Henson]
4813
4814 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
4815 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
4816 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
4817 declaration has been changed from
4818 int (*cb)()
4819 into
4820 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
4821 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
4822 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
4823 has been changed into
4824 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
4825
4826 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
4827 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
4828 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
4829
4830 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
4831 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
4832
4833 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
4834 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
4835 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
4836 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
4837 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
4838 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
4839 always load it have also been added.
4840 [Steve Henson]
4841
4842 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
4843 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
4844 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4845
4846 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
4847
4848 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
4849 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
4850 because it couldn't be used for anything.
4851
4852 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
4853 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
4854 command line option can be used to specify an
4855 alternative file.
4856 [Steve Henson]
4857
4858 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
4859 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
4860 [Steve Henson]
4861
4862 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
4863 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
4864 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
4865 [Steve Henson]
4866
4867 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
4868 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4869 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
4870 to work with the new engine framework.
4871 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
4872
4873 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
4874 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4875 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
4876 to work with the new engine framework.
4877 [Richard Levitte]
4878
4879 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
4880 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
4881 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
4882
4883 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
4884 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
4885
4886 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
4887 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
4888 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
4889 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
4890 FORMAT_IISSGC.
4891 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4892
4893 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4894 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4895
4896 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
4897 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
4898
4899 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
4900 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
4901 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
4902 [Ben Laurie]
4903
4904 *) Add new functions
4905 ERR_peek_last_error
4906 ERR_peek_last_error_line
4907 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
4908 These are similar to
4909 ERR_peek_error
4910 ERR_peek_error_line
4911 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
4912 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
4913 still in the error queue.
4914 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
4915
4916 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
4917 like:
4918 default_algorithms = ALL
4919 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
4920 [Steve Henson]
4921
4922 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
4923 [Steve Henson]
4924
4925 *) New experimental application configuration code.
4926 [Steve Henson]
4927
4928 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
4929 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
4930 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
4931 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4932
4933 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
4934 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
4935
4936 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
4937 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4938
4939 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
4940 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
4941 [Bodo Moeller]
4942
4943 *) New functions/macros
4944
4945 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
4946 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4947 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
4948 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
4949
4950 to request calling a callback function
4951
4952 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
4953 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
4954
4955 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
4956 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
4957 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
4958 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
4959 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
4960 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
4961 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
4962 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
4963 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
4964 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
4965
4966 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
4967 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
4968 [Bodo Moeller]
4969
4970 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
4971 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
4972 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
4973 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
4974 the configuration scripts.
4975
4976 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
4977 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
4978 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
4979
4980 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
4981 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4982
4983 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
4984 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
4985 when reusing an existing buffer.
4986 [Bodo Moeller]
4987
4988 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
4989 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
4990 [Steve Henson]
4991
4992 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
4993 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
4994 [Ben Laurie]
4995
4996 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
4997 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
4998 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
4999 has the same effect.
5000 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
5001
5002 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
5003 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
5004 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
5005 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
5006 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
5007 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
5008 exception.
5009
5010 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
5011 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
5012 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
5013 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
5014
5015 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
5016 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
5017 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
5018 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
5019
5020 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
5021 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
5022 won't work.
5023
5024 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
5025 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
5026 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
5027 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
5028 default), and then completely removed.
5029 [Richard Levitte]
5030
5031 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
5032 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
5033 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
5034 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
5035 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
5036 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
5037 particular extension is supported.
5038 [Steve Henson]
5039
5040 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
5041 to retain compatibility with existing code.
5042 [Steve Henson]
5043
5044 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
5045 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
5046 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
5047 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
5048 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
5049 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
5050 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
5051 requires the destination to be valid.
5052
5053 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
5054 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
5055 [Steve Henson]
5056
5057 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
5058 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
5059 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
5060 [Bodo Moeller]
5061
5062 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
5063 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
5064
5065 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
5066 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
5067 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
5068 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
5069 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
5070 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
5071 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
5072 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
5073 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
5074 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
5075 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
5076 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
5077 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
5078 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
5079 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
5080 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
5081 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
5082 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
5083 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
5084 the new code.
5085 [Geoff Thorpe]
5086
5087 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
5088 [Steve Henson]
5089
5090 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
5091 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
5092 become part of libeay.num as well.
5093 [Richard Levitte]
5094
5095 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
5096 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
5097 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
5098 false once a handshake has been completed.
5099 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
5100 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
5101 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
5102 client has followed the request.)
5103 [Bodo Moeller]
5104
5105 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
5106 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
5107 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
5108 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
5109
5110 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
5111 more bits available for options that should not be part of
5112 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
5113 [Bodo Moeller]
5114
5115 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
5116 [Steve Henson]
5117
5118 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
5119 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
5120 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
5121 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5122
5123 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
5124 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5125 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5126
5127 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
5128 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
5129 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
5130 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
5131 [Geoff Thorpe]
5132
5133 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
5134 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
5135 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
5136 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
5137 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
5138 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
5139 [Geoff Thorpe]
5140
5141 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
5142 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
5143 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
5144 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
5145 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
5146 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
5147 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
5148 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
5149 [Geoff Thorpe]
5150
5151 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
5152 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
5153 [Geoff Thorpe]
5154
5155 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
5156 [Ben Laurie]
5157
5158 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
5159 md_data void pointer.
5160 [Ben Laurie]
5161
5162 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
5163 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
5164 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
5165 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
5166 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
5167 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
5168 [Ben Laurie]
5169
5170 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
5171 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
5172 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
5173 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
5174 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
5175 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
5176 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
5177 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
5178 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
5179 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
5180 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
5181 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
5182 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
5183 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
5184 rather than letting it slide.
5185
5186 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
5187 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
5188 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
5189 [Geoff Thorpe]
5190
5191 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
5192 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
5193 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
5194 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
5195 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
5196 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
5197 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
5198 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
5199 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
5200 [Geoff Thorpe]
5201
5202 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
5203 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
5204 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
5205 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
5206 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
5207
5208 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
5209 [Geoff Thorpe]
5210
5211 *) Add EVP test program.
5212 [Ben Laurie]
5213
5214 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
5215 [Ben Laurie]
5216
5217 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
5218 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
5219 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
5220 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
5221 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
5222 [Steve Henson]
5223
5224 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
5225 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
5226 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
5227 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
5228 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
5229 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
5230 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
5231
5232 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
5233 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
5234 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
5235 Usage example:
5236
5237 EVP_MD_CTX md;
5238
5239 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
5240 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
5241 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
5242 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
5243 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
5244
5245 [Ben Laurie]
5246
5247 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
5248 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
5249 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
5250 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
5251 anyway): E.g.,
5252
5253 des_key_schedule ks;
5254
5255 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
5256 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
5257
5258 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
5259 [Ben Laurie]
5260
5261 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
5262 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
5263 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
5264 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
5265 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
5266 functions prevents this.
5267 [Steve Henson]
5268
5269 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
5270 [Ben Laurie]
5271
5272 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
5273 correct _ecb suffix.
5274 [Ben Laurie]
5275
5276 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
5277 revocation information is handled using the text based index
5278 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
5279 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
5280 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
5281 [Steve Henson]
5282
5283 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
5284 [Richard Levitte]
5285
5286 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
5287 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
5288 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
5289 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
5290
5291 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
5292 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
5293
5294 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
5295 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5296 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
5297 via Richard Levitte]
5298
5299 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
5300 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
5301 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
5302 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
5303 [Geoff Thorpe]
5304
5305 *) Speed up EVP routines.

5321 [Ben Laurie]
5322
5323 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
5324 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
5325
5326 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
5327 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
5328 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
5329 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
5330 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
5331 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
5332 [Steve Henson]
5333
5334 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
5335 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
5336 [Richard Levitte]
5337
5338 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
5339 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
5340 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
5341 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
5342
5343 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
5344 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
5345 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
5346 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
5347 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
5348 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
5349 callback.
5350 [Richard Levitte]
5351
5352 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
5353 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
5354 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
5355 and interrupts/cancellations.
5356 [Richard Levitte]
5357
5358 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
5359 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
5360 [Steve Henson]
5361
5362 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
5363 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
5364 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
5365
5366 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
5367 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
5368 kind of callback.
5369 [Richard Levitte]
5370
5371 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
5372 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
5373 than this minimum value is recommended.
5374 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5375
5376 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
5377 that are easily reachable.
5378 [Richard Levitte]
5379
5380 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
5381 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
5382
5383 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
5384
5385 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
5386 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
5387 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
5388 needed for static libraries under Win32.
5389 [Steve Henson]
5390
5391 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
5392 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
5393 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
5394 [Steve Henson]
5395
5396 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
5397 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
5398 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
5399 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
5400 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
5401 internally such as S/MIME.
5402
5403 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
5404 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
5405 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
5406
5407 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
5408 applications.
5409 [Steve Henson]
5410
5411 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
5412 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
5413 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
5414 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
5415
5416 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5417
5418 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
5419
5420 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
5421 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
5422 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
5423 handling.
5424 [Steve Henson]
5425
5426 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
5427 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
5428 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
5429 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
5430 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
5431 a window system and the like.
5432 [Richard Levitte]
5433
5434 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
5435 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
5436 [Geoff]
5437
5438 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
5439 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
5440 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
5441 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
5442 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
5443 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
5444 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
5445 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
5446 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
5447 ENGINE structure.
5448 [Geoff]
5449
5450 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
5451 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
5452 tag cache.
5453 [Steve Henson]
5454
5455 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
5456 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
5457 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
5458 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
5459 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
5460 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
5461 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
5462 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
5463 [Geoff]
5464
5465 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
5466 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
5467 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
5468 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
5469 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
5470 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
5471 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
5472 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
5473 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
5474 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
5475 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
5476 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
5477 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
5478 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
5479 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
5480 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
5481 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
5482 [Geoff]
5483
5484 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
5485 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
5486 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
5487 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
5488 internal engine_int.h header.
5489 [Geoff]
5490
5491 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
5492 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
5493 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
5494 modify their own ones).
5495 [Geoff]
5496
5497 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
5498 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
5499 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
5500 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
5501 later on via ctrl() commands.
5502 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
5503 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
5504 structural references.
5505 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
5506 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
5507 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
5508 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
5509 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
5510 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
5511 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
5512 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
5513 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
5514 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
5515 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
5516 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
5517 [Geoff]
5518
5519 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
5520 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
5521 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
5522 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
5523 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
5524 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
5525 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
5526 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
5527 [Bodo Moeller]
5528
5529 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
5530 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
5531 [Steve Henson]
5532
5533 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
5534 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
5535 [Steve Henson]
5536
5537 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
5538 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
5539 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
5540 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
5541 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
5542 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
5543 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
5544 [Steve Henson]
5545
5546 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
5547 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
5548 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
5549 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
5550 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
5551
5552 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
5553 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
5554 generator).
5555 [Bodo Moeller]
5556
5557 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
5558
5559 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
5560 operations and provides various method functions that can also
5561 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
5562
5563 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
5564 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
5565
5566 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
5567 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
5568 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
5569
5570 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
5571 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
5572
5573 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
5574 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
5575
5576 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
5577
5578 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
5579 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
5580 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
5581 [Bodo Moeller]
5582
5583 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
5584 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
5585 [Richard Levitte]
5586
5587 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
5588 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
5589 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
5590 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
5591 is 40 of more characters long.
5592 [Steve Henson]
5593
5594 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
5595 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
5596 pointers.
5597 [Steve Henson]
5598
5599 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
5600 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
5601 [Bodo Moeller]
5602
5603 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
5604 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
5605 might.
5606 [Steve Henson]
5607
5608 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
5609
5610 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
5611 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
5612
5613 ASN1 error codes
5614 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
5615 ...
5616 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
5617 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
5618 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
5619 ...
5620 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
5621 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
5622
5623 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
5624 [Bodo Moeller]
5625
5626 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
5627 suffices.
5628 [Bodo Moeller]
5629
5630 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
5631 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
5632 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
5633 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
5634 and
5635 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
5636
5637 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
5638 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
5639
5640 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
5641 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
5642 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
5643 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
5644 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
5645 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
5646
5647 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
5648 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
5649
5650 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
5651 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5652
5653 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
5654 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
5655
5656 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
5657 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
5658 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5659 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
5660
5661 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
5662 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
5663
5664 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
5665 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
5666
5667 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
5668 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
5669 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
5670 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
5671 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
5672 [Richard Levitte]
5673
5674 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
5675 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
5676 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
5677 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
5678 [Steve Henson]
5679
5680 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
5681 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
5682 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
5683 trust settings.
5684 [Steve Henson]
5685
5686 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
5687 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
5688 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
5689 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
5690 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
5691 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
5692 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
5693 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
5694 ocsp utility.
5695 [Steve Henson]
5696
5697 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
5698 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
5699 [Steve Henson]
5700
5701 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
5702 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
5703 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
5704 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
5705 [Steve Henson]
5706
5707 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
5708 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
5709 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
5710 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
5711 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
5712 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
5713 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
5714 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
5715 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
5716 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
5717 [Steve Henson]
5718
5719 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
5720 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
5721 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
5722 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
5723 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
5724 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
5725 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
5726 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5727
5728 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
5729 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
5730 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
5731 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
5732 [Richard Levitte]
5733
5734 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
5735 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
5736 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
5737 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
5738 opensslconf.h.
5739 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
5740 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
5741 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
5742 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
5743 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
5744 what is available.
5745 [Richard Levitte]
5746
5747 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
5748 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
5749 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
5750 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
5751 auto incremented.
5752 [Steve Henson]
5753
5754 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
5755 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
5756 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
5757 [Steve Henson]
5758
5759 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
5760 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
5761 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
5762 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
5763 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
5764 [Steve Henson]
5765
5766 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
5767 [Steve Henson]
5768
5769 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
5770 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
5771 option to ocsp utility.
5772 [Steve Henson]
5773
5774 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
5775 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
5776 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
5777 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
5778 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
5779 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
5780 the request is nonce-less.
5781 [Steve Henson]
5782
5783 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
5784 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
5785 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
5786 [Bodo Moeller]
5787
5788 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
5789 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
5790 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
5791 [Steve Henson]
5792
5793 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
5794 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
5795 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
5796 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
5797 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
5798 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5799
5800 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
5801 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
5802 appear to exist.
5803 [Steve Henson]
5804
5805 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
5806 additional certificates supplied.
5807 [Steve Henson]
5808
5809 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
5810 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
5811 signature against.
5812 [Richard Levitte]
5813
5814 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
5815 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
5816 AES OIDs.
5817
5818 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
5819 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
5820 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
5821 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
5822 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
5823 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
5824 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
5825 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
5826 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5827
5828 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
5829 request to response.
5830 [Steve Henson]
5831
5832 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
5833 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
5834 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
5835 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
5836 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
5837 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
5838 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
5839 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
5840 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
5841 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
5842 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
5843 [Steve Henson]
5844
5845 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
5846 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
5847 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
5848 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
5849 [Steve Henson]
5850
5851 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
5852 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5853
5854 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
5855 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
5856 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
5857 [Steve Henson]
5858
5859 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
5860 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
5861 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
5862 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5863 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5864
5865 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
5866 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
5867 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
5868 [Steve Henson]
5869
5870 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
5871 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
5872 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
5873 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
5874 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
5875 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
5876 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5877 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5878
5879 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
5880 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
5881 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
5882 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
5883 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
5884 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
5885 [Steve Henson]
5886
5887 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
5888 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
5889 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
5890 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
5891 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
5892 printout format cleaned up.
5893 [Steve Henson]
5894
5895 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
5896 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
5897 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
5898 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
5899 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
5900 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
5901 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
5902 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
5903 [Steve Henson]
5904
5905 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
5906 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
5907 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
5908 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
5909 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
5910 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
5911 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
5912 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
5913 [Steve Henson]
5914
5915 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
5916 extensions from a separate configuration file.
5917 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
5918 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
5919 section to use.
5920 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5921
5922 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
5923 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
5924 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
5925 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
5926 [Steve Henson]
5927
5928 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
5929 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
5930 the given serial number (according to the index file).
5931 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
5932 in the index file.
5933 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5934
5935 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
5936 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
5937 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
5938 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5939
5940 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
5941 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
5942
5943 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
5944 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
5945 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
5946 [Steve Henson]
5947
5948 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
5949 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
5950 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
5951 [Bodo Moeller]
5952
5953 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
5954 file name and line number information in additional arguments
5955 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
5956 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
5957 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
5958 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
5959 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
5960 functions are provided:
5961
5962 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
5963 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
5964 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
5965 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
5966
5967 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
5968 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
5969 extended allocation function is enabled.
5970 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
5971 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
5972 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
5973
5974 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
5975 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
5976 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
5977 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
5978 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
5979 [Geoff Thorpe]
5980
5981 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
5982 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
5983 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
5984 be queried.
5985 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
5986 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
5987 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
5988 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5989
5990 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
5991 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
5992 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
5993 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
5994 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
5995 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
5996 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
5997 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
5998 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
5999 [Richard Levitte]
6000
6001 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
6002 provide utility functions which an application needing
6003 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
6004 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
6005 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
6006
6007 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
6008 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
6009 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
6010 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
6011 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
6012 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
6013 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
6014 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
6015 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
6016
6017 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
6018 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
6019 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
6020 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
6021 [Steve Henson]
6022
6023 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
6024 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
6025 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
6026 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
6027 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
6028 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
6029 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
6030 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
6031 will be added elsewhere.
6032 [Steve Henson]
6033
6034 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
6035 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
6036 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
6037 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
6038 [Steve Henson]
6039
6040 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
6041 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
6042 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
6043 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
6044 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
6045 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
6046 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
6047 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
6048 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
6049 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
6050 to produce the required SET OF.
6051 [Steve Henson]
6052
6053 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
6054 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
6055 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
6056 [Richard Levitte]
6057
6058 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
6059 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
6060 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
6061 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
6062 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
6063 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
6064 [Steve Henson]
6065
6066 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
6067 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
6068 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
6069 [Steve Henson]
6070
6071 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
6072 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
6073 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
6074 [Richard Levitte]
6075
6076 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
6077 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
6078 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
6079 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
6080 code will still work when these eventually go away.
6081 [Steve Henson]
6082
6083 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
6084 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
6085 [Steve Henson]
6086
6087 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
6088 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
6089 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
6090 certifcates and CRLs.
6091 [Steve Henson]
6092
6093 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
6094 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
6095 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
6096 [Steve Henson]
6097
6098 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
6099 entries for variables.
6100 [Steve Henson]
6101
6102 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
6103 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
6104 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
6105 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
6106 [Bodo Moeller]
6107
6108 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
6109 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
6110 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
6111 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
6112 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
6113 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
6114 [Bodo Moeller]
6115
6116 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
6117 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
6118
6119 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
6120 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
6121 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
6122 [Steve Henson]
6123
6124 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
6125 print routines.
6126 [Steve Henson]
6127
6128 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
6129 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
6130 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
6131 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
6132 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
6133 order did not reflect the encoded order.
6134 [Steve Henson]
6135
6136 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
6137 [Steve Henson]
6138
6139 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
6140 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
6141 for now but they will eventually go away.
6142 [Steve Henson]
6143
6144 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
6145 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
6146 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
6147 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
6148 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
6149 has also been converted to the new form.
6150 [Steve Henson]
6151
6152 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
6153 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
6154 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
6155 for negative moduli.
6156 [Bodo Moeller]
6157
6158 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
6159 of not touching the result's sign bit.
6160 [Bodo Moeller]
6161
6162 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
6163 set.
6164 [Bodo Moeller]
6165
6166 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
6167 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
6168 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
6169 type-specific callbacks.
6170 [Geoff Thorpe]
6171
6172 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
6173 RFC 2712.
6174 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6175 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
6176
6177 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
6178 in sections depending on the subject.
6179 [Richard Levitte]
6180
6181 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
6182 Windows.
6183 [Richard Levitte]
6184
6185 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
6186 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
6187 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
6188 be handled deterministically).
6189 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6190
6191 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
6192 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
6193 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
6194 [Bodo Moeller]
6195
6196 *) New function BN_kronecker.
6197 [Bodo Moeller]
6198
6199 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
6200 positive unless both parameters are zero.
6201 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
6202 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
6203 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
6204 [Bodo Moeller]
6205
6206 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
6207 sign of the number in question.
6208
6209 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
6210
6211 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
6212 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
6213 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
6214 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
6215 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
6216 [Bodo Moeller]
6217
6218 *) New function BN_swap.
6219 [Bodo Moeller]
6220
6221 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
6222 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
6223 results on negative inputs.
6224 [Bodo Moeller]
6225
6226 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
6227 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
6228 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
6229 [Bodo Moeller]
6230
6231 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
6232 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
6233 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
6234 and add new functions:
6235
6236 BN_nnmod
6237 BN_mod_sqr
6238 BN_mod_add
6239 BN_mod_add_quick
6240 BN_mod_sub
6241 BN_mod_sub_quick
6242 BN_mod_lshift1
6243 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
6244 BN_mod_lshift
6245 BN_mod_lshift_quick
6246
6247 These functions always generate non-negative results.
6248
6249 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
6250 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
6251
6252 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
6253 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
6254 be reduced modulo m.
6255 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6256
6257 #if 0
6258 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
6259 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
6260 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
6261
6262 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6263 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6264 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6265 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6266 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6267 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6268 differing sizes.
6269 [Richard Levitte]
6270 #endif
6271
6272 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
6273 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
6274 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
6275 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
6276 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
6277
6278 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
6279 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
6280 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
6281 cause any problems.
6282 [Bodo Moeller]
6283
6284 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
6285 [Richard Levitte]
6286
6287 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
6288 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
6289 [Richard Levitte]
6290
6291 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
6292 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
6293 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
6294 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
6295 time)
6296 [Richard Levitte]
6297
6298 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
6299 [Richard Levitte]
6300
6301 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
6302 [Richard Levitte]
6303
6304 *) Add the following functions:
6305
6306 ENGINE_load_cswift()
6307 ENGINE_load_chil()
6308 ENGINE_load_atalla()
6309 ENGINE_load_nuron()
6310 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
6311
6312 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
6313 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
6314 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
6315 libraries unless it's really needed.
6316
6317 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
6318 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
6319 declarations (they differed!).
6320 [Richard Levitte]
6321
6322 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
6323 [Richard Levitte]
6324
6325 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
6326 [Richard Levitte]
6327
6328 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
6329 [Bodo Moeller]
6330
6331 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
6332 identity, and test if they are actually available.
6333 [Richard Levitte]
6334
6335 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
6336 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
6337 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6338
6339 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
6340 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
6341 [Richard Levitte]
6342
6343 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
6344 [Richard Levitte]
6345
6346 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
6347 [Richard Levitte]
6348
6349 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
6350 [Ben Laurie]
6351
6352 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
6353 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
6354 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
6355
6356 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
6357 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
6358 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
6359 different shared library filenames on each system.
6360 [Geoff Thorpe]
6361
6362 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
6363 [Richard Levitte]
6364
6365 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
6366 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
6367 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
6368 of two sections.
6369 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
6370
6371 *) NCONF changes.
6372 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
6373 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
6374 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
6375 binary backward compatibility.
6376 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
6377 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
6378 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
6379 LDAP server.
6380 [Richard Levitte]
6381
6382 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
6383 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
6384 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
6385 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
6386 this case.
6387 [Steve Henson]
6388
6389 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
6390 [Ben Laurie]
6391
6392 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
6393 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
6394 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
6395 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
6396 set.
6397 [Steve Henson]
6398
6399 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
6400 [Richard Levitte]
6401
6402 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
6403
6404 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6405 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6406 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6407
6408 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
6409
6410 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
6411
6412 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
6413 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
6414 [Steve Henson]
6415
6416 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
6417
6418 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6419
6420 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6421 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6422
6423 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6424 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6425
6426 [Steve Henson]
6427
6428 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6429 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6430 specifications.
6431 [Steve Henson]
6432
6433 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6434 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6435 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6436 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6437
6438 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6439 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6440 [Richard Levitte]
6441
6442 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
6443
6444 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6445 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6446 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6447 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6448 [Bodo Moeller]
6449
6450 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6451 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6452 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6453 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6454 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6455
6456 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6457 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6458 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6459 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6460 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6461 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6462 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6463 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6464 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6465 [Bodo Moeller]
6466
6467 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
6468
6469 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6470 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
6471 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6472 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6473 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6474
6475 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6476 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6477 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6478
6479 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
6480
6481 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
6482 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
6483 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
6484 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
6485 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
6486 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
6487 [Geoff Thorpe]
6488
6489 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
6490 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
6491 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
6492 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
6493 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
6494 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6495
6496 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
6497 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
6498 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
6499
6500 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
6501 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
6502 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
6503 EVP_cleanup().
6504 [Richard Levitte]
6505
6506 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
6507 being properly terminated.
6508 [Richard Levitte]
6509
6510 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
6511 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
6512 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
6513 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
6514
6515 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
6516 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
6517 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
6518 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
6519 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
6520 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
6521 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
6522 change.
6523 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
6524
6525 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
6526 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
6527 [Bodo Moeller]
6528
6529 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
6530 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
6531 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
6532 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
6533 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
6534 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
6535 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
6536 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
6537
6538 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
6539 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
6540 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
6541 (see [openssl.org #212]).
6542 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6543
6544 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
6545 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
6546 [Steve Henson]
6547
6548 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
6549
6550 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
6551 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
6552 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
6553
6554 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
6555
6556 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
6557 and get fix the header length calculation.
6558 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
6559 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
6560 Steve Henson]
6561
6562 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
6563 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
6564 assertions could call abort()).
6565 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
6566
6567 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
6568
6569 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6570 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6571 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6572 supplied buffer.
6573 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6574
6575 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
6576 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
6577 by the selection routines (PR #130).
6578 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6579
6580 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
6581 [Nils Larsch]
6582
6583 *) New option
6584 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
6585 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
6586 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
6587
6588 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
6589 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
6590 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
6591 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
6592 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
6593 applications.
6594 [Bodo Moeller]
6595
6596 *) Changes in security patch:
6597
6598 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
6599 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
6600 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
6601 F30602-01-2-0537.
6602
6603 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6604 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6605 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6606 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
6607 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6608
6609 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
6610 happen in practice.
6611 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6612
6613 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
6614 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
6615 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
6616
6617 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6618 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
6619 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6620
6621 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
6622 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
6623 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6624
6625 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
6626
6627 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
6628 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
6629 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
6630
6631 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
6632 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6633
6634 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
6635 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
6636 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
6637 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
6638 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
6639 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
6640 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6641
6642 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
6643 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
6644 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
6645 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
6646 [Bodo Moeller]
6647
6648 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
6649 [Bodo Moeller]
6650
6651 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
6652 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
6653 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
6654 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
6655 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
6656 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6657
6658 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
6659 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
6660 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
6661 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
6662 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
6663 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6664
6665 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
6666 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
6667 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
6668 BN_generate_prime().)
6669
6670 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
6671 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
6672 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
6673 better.
6674 [Bodo Moeller]
6675
6676 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
6677 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
6678 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6679
6680 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
6681 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
6682 when using non-blocking I/O.
6683 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
6684
6685 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
6686 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
6687
6688 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
6689 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
6690 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6691
6692 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
6693 configuration for the versions before that.
6694 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6695
6696 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
6697 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
6698 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
6699 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
6700 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6701
6702 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
6703 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
6704 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
6705 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6706
6707 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
6708 value is 0.
6709 [Richard Levitte]
6710
6711 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
6712 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6713 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6714
6715 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
6716 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
6717
6718 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
6719 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
6720 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
6721 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
6722 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
6723 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
6724 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
6725 session cache.
6726
6727 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
6728 using a local variable.
6729 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6730
6731 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
6732 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
6733 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6734
6735 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
6736 [Richard Levitte]
6737
6738 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
6739 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
6740
6741 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
6742 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
6743 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
6744
6745 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
6746
6747 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
6748 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
6749 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
6750 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
6751 [Bodo Moeller]
6752
6753 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
6754 present.
6755 [Steve Henson]
6756
6757 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
6758 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
6759 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
6760 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
6761 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
6762
6763 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
6764 returns early because it has nothing to do.
6765 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6766
6767 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6768 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
6769 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6770
6771 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6772 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
6773 (Use engine 'keyclient')
6774 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
6775
6776 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
6777 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
6778 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
6779 modules).
6780 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
6781
6782 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6783 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
6784 from 0.9.7.
6785 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
6786
6787 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6788 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
6789 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6790 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
6791
6792 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6793 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
6794 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6795 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
6796
6797 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
6798 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
6799
6800 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
6801 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
6802 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
6803 [Bodo Moeller]
6804
6805 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
6806 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
6807 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
6808 become invalid.
6809 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
6810
6811 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
6812 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
6813 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
6814 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
6815 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
6816 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
6817 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
6818 [Bodo Moeller]
6819
6820 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
6821 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
6822 one of the SSL handshake functions.
6823 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
6824
6825 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
6826 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
6827 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
6828 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
6829 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
6830 the client will at least see that alert.
6831 [Bodo Moeller]
6832
6833 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
6834 correctly.
6835 [Bodo Moeller]
6836
6837 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
6838 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
6839 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6840
6841 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
6842 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
6843 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
6844 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
6845 HelloRequest.
6846
6847 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
6848 before just sending a HelloRequest.
6849 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
6850
6851 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
6852 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
6853 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
6854 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
6855 may leak via logfiles.)
6856
6857 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
6858 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
6859 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
6860 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
6861 the legal range.
6862 [Bodo Moeller]
6863
6864 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
6865 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6866 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6867
6868 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
6869 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
6870 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
6871 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
6872 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
6873 [Bodo Moeller]
6874
6875 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
6876 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
6877
6878 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
6879 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
6880 followed by modular reduction.
6881 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
6882
6883 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
6884 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
6885 [Bodo Moeller]
6886
6887 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
6888 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
6889 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
6890 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
6891 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6892
6893 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
6894 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6895
6896 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
6897 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
6898 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6899
6900 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
6901 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
6902 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
6903 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
6904 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
6905 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
6906 automatically.
6907 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
6908
6909 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
6910 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
6911 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
6912 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
6913 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
6914
6915 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
6916 [Andy Polyakov]
6917
6918 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
6919 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
6920 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
6921 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
6922 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
6923 to allow the necessary settings.
6924 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6925
6926 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
6927 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
6928 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
6929 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
6930 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6931
6932 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
6933 dh->length and always used
6934
6935 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
6936
6937 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
6938 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
6939 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
6940 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
6941 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
6942 dh->length.
6943
6944 So switch back to
6945
6946 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
6947
6948 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
6949 otherwise.
6950 [Bodo Moeller]
6951
6952 *) In
6953
6954 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
6955 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
6956 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
6957 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
6958
6959 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
6960 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
6961 always reject numbers >= n.
6962 [Bodo Moeller]
6963
6964 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
6965 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
6966 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
6967 variable) is not atomic.
6968 [Bodo Moeller]
6969
6970 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
6971 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
6972 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
6973 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
6974
6975 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
6976 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
6977
6978 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
6979 little-endian MIPS.
6980 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
6981
6982 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
6983 [Richard Levitte]
6984
6985 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
6986
6987 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
6988 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
6989 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
6990 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
6991 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
6992 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
6993 to traverse all of 'state'.
6994
6995 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
6996 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
6997 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
6998
6999 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
7000 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
7001
7002 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
7003 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
7004 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
7005 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
7006 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
7007 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
7008 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
7009 further strengthens the PRNG.
7010 [Bodo Moeller]
7011
7012 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
7013 [Andy Polyakov]
7014
7015 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
7016 an error message in this case.
7017 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7018
7019 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
7020 [Steve Henson]
7021
7022 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
7023 positive and less than q.
7024 [Bodo Moeller]
7025
7026 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
7027 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
7028 that itself.
7029 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
7030
7031 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
7032 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
7033 [Bodo Moeller]
7034
7035 *) Fix OAEP check.
7036 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7037
7038 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
7039 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
7040 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
7041 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
7042 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
7043 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
7044 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
7045 paper.)
7046
7047 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
7048 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
7049 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
7050 detect the supposedly ignored error.
7051
7052 Both problems are now fixed.
7053 [Bodo Moeller]
7054
7055 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
7056 (previously it was 1024).
7057 [Bodo Moeller]
7058
7059 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
7060 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
7061 [Steve Henson]
7062
7063 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
7064 [Steve Henson]
7065
7066 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
7067 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
7068 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
7069 [Steve Henson]
7070
7071 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
7072 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
7073 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
7074 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
7075 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
7076 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
7077 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
7078 environment variables.
7079
7080 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
7081 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
7082 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
7083 [Bodo Moeller]
7084
7085 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
7086 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
7087 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
7088 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
7089 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
7090 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
7091 [Bodo Moeller]
7092
7093 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
7094 versions of 'test'.
7095 [Bodo Moeller]
7096
7097 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
7098
7099 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
7100 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
7101
7102 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
7103 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
7104 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
7105 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
7106 CygWin.
7107 [Richard Levitte]
7108
7109 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
7110 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
7111 amount of data available.
7112 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
7113 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7114
7115 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
7116 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
7117 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
7118 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
7119 [Bodo Moeller]
7120
7121 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
7122 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
7123 and UnixWare.
7124 [Richard Levitte]
7125
7126 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
7127 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
7128 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
7129 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
7130 [Ulf Moeller]
7131
7132 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
7133 [Andy Polyakov]
7134
7135 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
7136 [Richard Levitte]
7137
7138 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
7139 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
7140 [Steve Henson]
7141 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7142
7143 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
7144 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
7145 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
7146 (but broken) behaviour.
7147 [Steve Henson]
7148
7149 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
7150 it when found.
7151 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
7152
7153 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
7154 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
7155 [Bodo Moeller]
7156
7157 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
7158 did not exist.
7159 [Bodo Moeller]
7160
7161 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
7162 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
7163
7164 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
7165 [Richard Levitte]
7166
7167 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
7168 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
7169 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
7170
7171 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
7172 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
7173 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
7174 [Steve Henson]
7175
7176 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
7177 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
7178 [Ulf Moeller]
7179
7180 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
7181 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
7182
7183 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
7184
7185 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
7186
7187 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
7188 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
7189 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
7190 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
7191 [Bodo Moeller]
7192
7193 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
7194 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7195
7196 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
7197 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
7198 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7199
7200 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
7201 was empty.
7202 [Steve Henson]
7203 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7204
7205 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
7206 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
7207 but the code is actually correct.
7208 [Steve Henson]
7209
7210 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
7211 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
7212 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
7213 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
7214 and leaves the highest bit random.
7215 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7216
7217 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
7218 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
7219 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
7220 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
7221 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
7222 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
7223 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
7224 [Bodo Moeller]
7225
7226 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
7227 [Ulf Moeller]
7228
7229 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
7230 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
7231 [Steve Henson]
7232
7233 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
7234 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
7235 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
7236 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
7237 headers.
7238 [Richard Levitte]
7239
7240 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
7241 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
7242 and break the signature.
7243 [Steve Henson]
7244 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7245
7246 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
7247 DH ciphersuites.
7248 [Steve Henson]
7249
7250 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
7251 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
7252 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
7253 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
7254 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
7255 [Bodo Moeller]
7256
7257 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
7258 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7259
7260 *) ./config script fixes.
7261 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
7262
7263 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
7264 [Bodo Moeller]
7265
7266 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
7267 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
7268 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
7269 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
7270 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
7271
7272 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
7273 call failed, free the DSA structure.
7274 [Bodo Moeller]
7275
7276 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
7277 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
7278 [Steve Henson]
7279
7280 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
7281 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
7282 when writing a 32767 byte record.
7283 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
7284
7285 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
7286 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
7287
7288 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
7289 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
7290 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
7291 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
7292 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
7293
7294 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
7295 [Bodo Moeller]
7296
7297 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
7298 [Ulf Möller]
7299
7300 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
7301 [Ulf Möller]
7302
7303 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
7304 [Bodo Moeller]
7305
7306 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
7307 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
7308 [Bodo Moeller]
7309
7310 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
7311 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
7312 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
7313 result of the server certificate verification.)
7314 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7315
7316 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
7317 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
7318 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
7319 [Bodo Moeller]
7320
7321 *) Fix SSL_peek:
7322 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
7323 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
7324 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
7325 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
7326 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
7327 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
7328 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
7329 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
7330 [Bodo Moeller]
7331
7332 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
7333 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
7334 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
7335 happening the other way round.
7336 [Geoff Thorpe]
7337
7338 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
7339 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
7340 [Bodo Moeller]
7341
7342 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
7343 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
7344 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
7345 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
7346 [Richard Levitte]
7347
7348 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
7349 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
7350
7351 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
7352
7353 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
7354 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
7355 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
7356 that.
7357
7358 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
7359
7360 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
7361
7362 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
7363 static ones.
7364 [Richard Levitte]
7365
7366 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
7367
7368 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
7369 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
7370 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
7371 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
7372 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
7373
7374 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
7375 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
7376 matter what.
7377 [Richard Levitte]
7378
7379 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
7380 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7381
7382 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
7383
7384 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
7385 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
7386 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
7387 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
7388 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
7389 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
7390 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
7391 by the Finished messages.
7392 [Bodo Moeller]
7393
7394 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
7395 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
7396
7397 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
7398 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
7399 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
7400 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
7401 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
7402 appropriately.
7403 [Steve Henson]
7404
7405 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
7406 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
7407 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
7408 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
7409 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
7410 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
7411 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
7412 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
7413 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
7414 together.
7415 [Steve Henson]
7416
7417 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
7418 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
7419 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
7420 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
7421
7422 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
7423 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
7424 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
7425 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
7426 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
7427 the answer.
7428
7429 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
7430 been tested well enough.
7431 [Richard Levitte]
7432
7433 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
7434 it can return incorrect results.
7435 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
7436 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
7437 [Bodo Moeller]
7438
7439 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
7440 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
7441 include zero length content when signing messages.
7442 [Steve Henson]
7443
7444 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
7445 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
7446 [Bodo Möller]
7447
7448 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
7449 [Richard Levitte]
7450
7451 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
7452 wrong sign.
7453 [Ulf Möller]
7454
7455 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
7456 packages. The default package contains applications, application
7457 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
7458 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
7459 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
7460 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
7461 [Richard Levitte]
7462
7463 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
7464 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7465
7466 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
7467 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
7468
7469 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
7470 random number < q in the DSA library.
7471 [Ulf Möller]
7472
7473 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
7474 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
7475 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
7476 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
7477 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
7478 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
7479 just makes things more complicated.)
7480 [Bodo Moeller]
7481
7482 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
7483 from EGD.
7484 [Ben Laurie]
7485
7486 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
7487 work better on such systems.
7488 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7489
7490 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
7491 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
7492 keyid to the certificates aux info.
7493 [Steve Henson]
7494
7495 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
7496 if there was more than one signature.
7497 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
7498
7499 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
7500 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
7501 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
7502 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
7503 [Richard Levitte]
7504
7505 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
7506 rather than always using the current time.
7507 [Steve Henson]
7508
7509 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
7510 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
7511 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
7512 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
7513 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
7514 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
7515
7516 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
7517 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
7518
7519 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
7520
7521 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
7522 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
7523 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
7524 the same hash value.
7525
7526 As a result various functions (which were all internal
7527 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
7528 structure. This will break anything that messed round
7529 with X509_STORE internally.
7530
7531 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
7532 exact match, rather than just subject name.
7533
7534 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
7535 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
7536 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
7537 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
7538 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
7539 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
7540 entirely (maybe later...).
7541
7542 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
7543
7544 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
7545 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
7546 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
7547 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
7548 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
7549 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
7550 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
7551 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
7552
7553 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
7554 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7555
7556 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
7557 to customise the verify behaviour.
7558 [Steve Henson]
7559
7560 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
7561 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
7562 [Steve Henson]
7563
7564 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
7565 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
7566 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
7567 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
7568 request is improperly encoded.
7569 [Steve Henson]
7570
7571 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
7572 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
7573 BIO_write(b, ...).
7574
7575 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
7576 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
7577
7578 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
7579 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
7580 words set to zero.)
7581 [Bodo Moeller]
7582
7583 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
7584 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
7585 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
7586 [Bodo Moeller]
7587
7588 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
7589 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
7590 BIO/fp routines also added.
7591 [Steve Henson]
7592
7593 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
7594 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
7595
7596 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
7597 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
7598 demos/state_machine.
7599 [Ben Laurie]
7600
7601 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
7602 generation and verification.
7603 [Steve Henson]
7604
7605 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
7606 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
7607 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
7608 encode and decode it manually.
7609 [Steve Henson]
7610
7611 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
7612 compile under VC++.
7613 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
7614
7615 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
7616 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
7617 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
7618 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
7619
7620 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
7621 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
7622 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
7623 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
7624 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
7625 [Steve Henson]
7626
7627 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
7628 [Richard Levitte]
7629
7630 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
7631 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
7632 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
7633
7634 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
7635 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
7636 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
7637 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
7638 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
7639 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
7640 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
7641 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
7642
7643 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
7644 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
7645
7646 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
7647
7648 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
7649 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
7650 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
7651
7652 [Richard Levitte]
7653
7654 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
7655 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
7656 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
7657 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
7658 [Richard Levitte]
7659
7660 *) MD4 implemented.
7661 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
7662
7663 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
7664 [Richard Levitte]
7665
7666 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
7667 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
7668 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
7669 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
7670 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
7671 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
7672 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
7673 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
7674 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
7675 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
7676 short or long names are found.
7677 [Steve Henson]
7678
7679 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
7680 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
7681
7682 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
7683 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
7684 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
7685 version rollback attacks was not effective.
7686
7687 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
7688 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
7689 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
7690 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
7691 [Bodo Moeller]
7692
7693 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
7694 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
7695 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
7696 [Richard Levitte]
7697
7698 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
7699 these print out strings and name structures based on various
7700 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
7701 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
7702 to allow the various flags to be set.
7703 [Steve Henson]
7704
7705 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
7706 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
7707 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
7708 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
7709 dates to be checked.
7710 [Steve Henson]
7711
7712 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
7713 negative public key encodings) on by default,
7714 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
7715 [Steve Henson]
7716
7717 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
7718 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
7719 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
7720 [Steve Henson]
7721
7722 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
7723 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
7724 [Bodo Moeller]
7725
7726 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
7727 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
7728 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
7729 are always statically linked for now, but there are
7730 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
7731 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
7732 [Richard Levitte]
7733
7734 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
7735 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
7736 Random Numbers.
7737 [Ulf Möller]
7738
7739 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
7740 DSA key.
7741 [Steve Henson]
7742
7743 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
7744 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
7745 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
7746 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
7747 form signing output easier to verify.
7748 [Steve Henson]
7749
7750 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
7751 [Steve Henson]
7752
7753 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
7754 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
7755 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
7756 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
7757 are needed because all other string types have virtually
7758 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
7759 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
7760 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
7761 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
7762 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
7763 [Steve Henson]
7764
7765 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
7766
7767 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
7768 the syntax given in objects.README.
7769 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
7770 obj_mac.h.
7771 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
7772 obj_mac.h.
7773
7774 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
7775 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
7776 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
7777 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
7778 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
7779 consistent name changes.
7780 [Richard Levitte]
7781
7782 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
7783 [Bodo Moeller]
7784
7785 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
7786 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
7787 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
7788 environment variable, or the default random state file.
7789 [Richard Levitte]
7790
7791 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
7792 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
7793 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
7794 of safestack.h .
7795 [Steve Henson]
7796
7797 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
7798 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
7799 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
7800 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
7801 [Steve Henson]
7802
7803 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
7804 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
7805 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
7806 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
7807 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
7808 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
7809 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
7810 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
7811 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
7812 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
7813 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
7814 [Steve Henson]
7815
7816 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
7817 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
7818 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
7819 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
7820 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
7821 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
7822 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
7823 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
7824 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
7825 algorithm to openssl-dev.
7826 [Steve Henson]
7827
7828 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
7829 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
7830 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
7831 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
7832
7833 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
7834 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
7835 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
7836 omit any duplicate addresses.
7837 [Steve Henson]
7838
7839 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
7840 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
7841 [Bodo Moeller]
7842
7843 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
7844 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
7845 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
7846 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
7847 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
7848 [Bodo Moeller]
7849
7850 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
7851 software:
7852 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
7853 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
7854 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
7855 Free => OPENSSL_free
7856 [Richard Levitte]
7857
7858 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
7859 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
7860 [Bodo Moeller]
7861
7862 *) CygWin32 support.
7863 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
7864
7865 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
7866 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
7867 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
7868 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
7869 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
7870 approach.
7871 [Geoff Thorpe]
7872
7873 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
7874 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
7875 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
7876 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
7877 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
7878 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
7879 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
7880 [Geoff Thorpe]
7881
7882 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
7883 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
7884 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
7885 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
7886 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
7887 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
7888 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
7889 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
7890 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
7891 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
7892 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
7893 [Bodo Moeller]
7894
7895 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
7896 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
7897 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
7898 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
7899 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
7900
7901 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
7902 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
7903 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
7904 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
7905 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
7906
7907 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
7908 ciphers.
7909
7910 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
7911 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
7912 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
7913 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
7914
7915 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
7916
7917 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
7918 of macros.
7919
7920 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
7921 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
7922 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
7923 flags.
7924
7925 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
7926 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
7927 any installed hardware versions can.
7928 [Steve Henson]
7929
7930 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
7931 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
7932 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
7933 number.
7934 [Bodo Moeller]
7935
7936 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
7937 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
7938 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
7939 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
7940 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
7941
7942 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
7943 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
7944 [Steve Henson]
7945
7946 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
7947 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
7948 [Richard Levitte]
7949
7950 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
7951 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
7952 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
7953 features.
7954 [Steve Henson]
7955
7956 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
7957 [Ulf Möller]
7958
7959 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
7960 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
7961 but no ssl client purpose.
7962 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
7963
7964 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
7965 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
7966 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
7967 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
7968 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
7969 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
7970 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
7971 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
7972 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
7973 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
7974 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
7975 [Steve Henson]
7976
7977 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
7978 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
7979 be obtained from the error queue.
7980 [Bodo Moeller]
7981
7982 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
7983 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
7984 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
7985 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
7986 [Bodo Moeller]
7987
7988 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
7989 [Ulf Möller]
7990
7991 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
7992 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
7993 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
7994 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
7995 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
7996 [Geoff Thorpe]
7997
7998 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
7999 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
8000 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
8001 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
8002 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
8003 [Geoff Thorpe]
8004
8005 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
8006 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
8007 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
8008 may not be NULL.
8009 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
8010
8011 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
8012 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
8013 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
8014 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
8015 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
8016 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
8017 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
8018 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
8019 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
8020 or "the configuration storage API"...
8021
8022 The new configuration file reading functions are:
8023
8024 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
8025 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
8026
8027 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
8028
8029 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
8030
8031 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
8032 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
8033 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
8034 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
8035 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
8036 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
8037 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
8038
8039 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
8040 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
8041 [Richard Levitte]
8042
8043 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
8044 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
8045 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
8046 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
8047 [Bodo Moeller]
8048
8049 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
8050 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
8051 them in a portable way.
8052 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
8053
8054 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
8055
8056 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
8057
8058 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
8059 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
8060
8061 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
8062 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
8063 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
8064 <attili@amaxo.com>]
8065
8066 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
8067 was larger than the MD block size.
8068 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
8069
8070 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
8071 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
8072 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
8073 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
8074 components.
8075 [Steve Henson]
8076
8077 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
8078 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
8079 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
8080
8081 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
8082 discouraged.
8083 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
8084
8085 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
8086 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
8087 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
8088 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
8089 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
8090 Additional arguments are always ignored.
8091
8092 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
8093 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
8094
8095 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
8096 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
8097 [Bodo Moeller]
8098
8099 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
8100 [Bodo Moeller]
8101
8102 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
8103 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
8104 its own key.
8105 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
8106 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
8107 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
8108 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
8109 [Bodo Moeller]
8110
8111 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
8112 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
8113 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
8114 does not suppress any output.
8115 [Richard Levitte]
8116
8117 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
8118 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
8119 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
8120 with all the associated security issues.
8121
8122 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
8123 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
8124 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
8125 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
8126 use the value in the default purpose.
8127 [Steve Henson]
8128
8129 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
8130 and fix a memory leak.
8131 [Steve Henson]
8132
8133 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
8134 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
8135 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
8136 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
8137 [Bodo Moeller]
8138
8139 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
8140 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
8141 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
8142 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
8143 [Bodo Moeller]
8144
8145 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
8146 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
8147 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
8148 [Bodo Moeller]
8149
8150 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
8151 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
8152 [Bodo Moeller]
8153
8154 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
8155 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
8156 which was free.
8157 [Steve Henson]
8158
8159 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
8160 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
8161 [Bodo Moeller]
8162
8163 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
8164 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
8165 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
8166 [Bodo Moeller]
8167
8168 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
8169 number generation fails.
8170 [Bodo Moeller]
8171
8172 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
8173 [Bodo Moeller]
8174
8175 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
8176 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
8177
8178 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
8179 [Ulf Möller]
8180
8181 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
8182 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
8183
8184 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
8185 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
8186
8187 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
8188
8189 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
8190 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
8191 [Steve Henson]
8192
8193 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
8194 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
8195
8196 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
8197 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
8198 [Ulf Möller]
8199
8200 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
8201 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
8202 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
8203 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
8204 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
8205 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
8206
8207 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
8208 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
8209 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
8210 for example.
8211 [Steve Henson]
8212
8213 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
8214 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
8215 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
8216 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
8217 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
8218 counter, some don't.)
8219 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
8220 counters or duplicate objects.
8221 [Steve Henson]
8222
8223 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
8224 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
8225 [Steve Henson]
8226
8227 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
8228 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
8229 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
8230
8231 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
8232 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
8233 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
8234 or -rand.
8235 [Ulf Möller]
8236
8237 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
8238 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
8239 [Steve Henson]
8240
8241 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
8242 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
8243 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
8244 cipher list.
8245 [Steve Henson]
8246
8247 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
8248 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
8249 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
8250 [Steve Henson]
8251
8252 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
8253 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
8254 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
8255 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
8256 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
8257 should work without changes.
8258 [Richard Levitte]
8259
8260 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
8261 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
8262 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
8263 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
8264 must be defined. E.g.,
8265 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
8266 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
8267 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
8268 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
8269
8270 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
8271 record layer.
8272 [Bodo Moeller]
8273
8274 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
8275 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
8276 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
8277 [Steve Henson]
8278
8279 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
8280 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
8281 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
8282 request header lines. Some software needs this.
8283 [Steve Henson]
8284
8285 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
8286 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
8287 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
8288 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
8289 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
8290 is prompted for as usual.
8291 [Steve Henson]
8292
8293 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
8294 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
8295 autodetect the card and use it if present.
8296 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
8297
8298 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
8299 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
8300 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
8301 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
8302 [Steve Henson]
8303
8304 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
8305 [Andy Polyakov]
8306
8307 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
8308 of seed file.
8309 [Steve Henson]
8310
8311 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
8312 [Bodo Moeller]
8313
8314 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
8315 [Steve Henson]
8316
8317 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
8318 bits.
8319 [Ulf Möller]
8320
8321 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
8322 [Ulf Möller]
8323
8324 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
8325 [Andy Polyakov]
8326
8327 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
8328 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
8329 [Ulf Möller]
8330
8331 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
8332 options to produce them.
8333 [Steve Henson]
8334
8335 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
8336 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
8337 [Ulf Möller]
8338
8339 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
8340 for p == 0.
8341 [Ulf Möller]
8342
8343 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
8344 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
8345 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
8346 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
8347 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
8348 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
8349 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
8350 [Steve Henson]
8351
8352 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
8353 [Steve Henson]
8354
8355 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
8356 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
8357 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
8358 [Bodo Moeller]
8359
8360 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
8361 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
8362
8363 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
8364 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
8365 [Ulf Möller]
8366
8367 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
8368 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
8369 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
8370 has already seen).
8371 [Bodo Moeller]
8372
8373 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
8374 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
8375
8376 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
8377 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
8378 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
8379 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
8380 generation becomes much faster.
8381
8382 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
8383 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
8384 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
8385 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
8386 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
8387 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
8388 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
8389 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
8390 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
8391 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
8392 [Bodo Moeller]
8393
8394 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
8395 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
8396 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
8397 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
8398 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
8399 trial division stage.
8400 [Bodo Moeller]
8401
8402 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
8403 as ASN1_TIME.
8404 [Steve Henson]
8405
8406 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
8407 [Steve Henson]
8408
8409 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
8410 [Ulf Möller]
8411
8412 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
8413 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
8414 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
8415 the comments.
8416 [Ulf Möller]
8417
8418 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
8419 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
8420 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
8421 [Bodo Moeller]
8422
8423 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
8424 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
8425 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
8426 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8427
8428 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
8429 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
8430 [Steve Henson]
8431
8432 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
8433 [Ulf Möller]
8434
8435 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
8436 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
8437 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
8438 Rabin-Miller iterations.
8439 [Ulf Möller]
8440
8441 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
8442 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
8443 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
8444 [Ulf Möller]
8445
8446 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
8447 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
8448 (instead of parameters) in future.
8449 [Steve Henson]
8450
8451 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
8452 when a new cipher list is set.
8453 [Steve Henson]
8454
8455 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
8456 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
8457 wrong.
8458
8459 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
8460 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
8461 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
8462
8463 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
8464 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
8465 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
8466 an error is flagged.
8467
8468 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
8469 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
8470 the readability was also increased :-)
8471 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8472
8473 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
8474 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
8475 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
8476 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
8477 as the root CA.
8478 [Steve Henson]
8479
8480 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
8481 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
8482 [Steve Henson]
8483
8484 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
8485 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
8486 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
8487 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
8488 instead.
8489
8490 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
8491 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
8492 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
8493 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
8494 because they handle more complex structures.)
8495 [Steve Henson]
8496
8497 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
8498 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
8499 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
8500 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8501
8502 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
8503 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
8504 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
8505 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
8506 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
8507 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
8508 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
8509 [Ulf Möller]
8510
8511 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
8512 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
8513 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
8514 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
8515 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
8516 [Bodo Moeller]
8517
8518 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
8519 [Bodo Moeller]
8520
8521 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
8522 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
8523 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
8524 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
8525 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
8526 to use this.
8527
8528 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
8529 code.
8530 [Steve Henson]
8531
8532 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
8533 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
8534 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
8535 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
8536 [Steve Henson]
8537
8538 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
8539 [Ulf Möller]
8540
8541 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
8542 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
8543 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
8544 international characters are used.
8545
8546 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
8547 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
8548 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
8549 in ASN1 order.
8550 [Steve Henson]
8551
8552 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
8553 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
8554 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
8555 request.
8556
8557 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
8558 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
8559 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
8560 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
8561 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
8562 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
8563
8564 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
8565 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
8566 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
8567 be handled by the string table functions.
8568
8569 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
8570 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
8571 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
8572 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
8573 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
8574 types at all.
8575 [Steve Henson]
8576
8577 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
8578 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
8579 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
8580 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
8581 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
8582
8583 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
8584 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
8585 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
8586 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
8587 [Bodo Moeller]
8588
8589 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
8590 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
8591 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
8592 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
8593 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
8594 SHA1.
8595 [Andy Polyakov]
8596
8597 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
8598 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
8599 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
8600 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
8601 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
8602 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
8603 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
8604 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
8605
8606 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
8607 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
8608 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
8609 [Steve Henson]
8610
8611 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
8612 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
8613 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
8614 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
8615 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
8616 support to pkcs8 application.
8617 [Steve Henson]
8618
8619 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
8620 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
8621 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
8622 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
8623 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
8624 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
8625 [Bodo Moeller]
8626
8627 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
8628 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
8629 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
8630 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
8631 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
8632 consistency.
8633 [Bodo Moeller]
8634
8635 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
8636 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
8637 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
8638 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
8639 example.
8640 [Steve Henson]
8641
8642 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
8643 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
8644 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
8645 and any application specific purposes.
8646
8647 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
8648 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
8649 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
8650 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
8651 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
8652 if the certificate is self signed.
8653 [Steve Henson]
8654
8655 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
8656 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
8657 [Steve Henson]
8658
8659 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
8660 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
8661 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
8662 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
8663 [Steve Henson]
8664
8665 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
8666 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
8667 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
8668 Update documentation.
8669 [Steve Henson]
8670
8671 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
8672 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
8673 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
8674 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
8675 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
8676 [Steve Henson]
8677
8678 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
8679 for details.
8680 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
8681
8682 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
8683 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
8684 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
8685 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
8686 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
8687 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
8688 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
8689 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
8690 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
8691 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
8692
8693 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
8694
8695 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8696 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8697 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
8698 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
8699 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
8700
8701 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
8702 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
8703 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
8704 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
8705 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
8706 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
8707 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
8708 request additional information:
8709 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
8710 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
8711
8712 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
8713 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
8714 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
8715 options.
8716
8717 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
8718 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
8719
8720 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
8721 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
8722 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
8723
8724 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
8725 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
8726
8727 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
8728 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
8729 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
8730 algorithm.
8731 [Steve Henson]
8732
8733 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
8734 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
8735 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
8736
8737 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
8738 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
8739 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
8740 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
8741 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
8742 included in OpenSSL.
8743 [Steve Henson]
8744
8745 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
8746 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
8747 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
8748 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
8749 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
8750 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
8751 [Bodo Moeller]
8752
8753 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
8754 PKCS12 structure.
8755 [Steve Henson]
8756
8757 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
8758 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
8759 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
8760 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
8761 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
8762 structure.
8763 [Steve Henson]
8764
8765 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
8766 need initialising.
8767 [Steve Henson]
8768
8769 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
8770 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
8771 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
8772 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
8773 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
8774 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
8775 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
8776 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
8777 be maintained manually.
8778
8779 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
8780 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
8781 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
8782 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
8783 work because people forget to call this function]
8784 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
8785 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
8786 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
8787 [Steve Henson]
8788
8789 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
8790 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
8791 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
8792 should be discouraged from doing it.
8793 [Ben Laurie]
8794
8795 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
8796 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
8797 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
8798 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
8799 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
8800 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
8801 [Steve Henson]
8802
8803 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
8804 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
8805 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
8806
8807 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
8808 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
8809 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
8810
8811 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
8812 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
8813 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
8814 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
8815 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
8816 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
8817
8818 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
8819 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
8820 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
8821
8822 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
8823 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
8824 and vice versa.
8825
8826 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
8827 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
8828 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
8829 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
8830 [Steve Henson]
8831
8832 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
8833 [Steve Henson]
8834
8835 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
8836 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
8837 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
8838 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
8839 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
8840 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
8841 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
8842 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
8843 keys so we should be OK.
8844
8845 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
8846 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
8847 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
8848 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
8849 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
8850 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
8851 stay in the name of compatibility.
8852
8853 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
8854 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
8855 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
8856
8857 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
8858 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
8859 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
8860 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
8861 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
8862 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
8863 supplied key).
8864 [Steve Henson]
8865
8866 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
8867 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
8868 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
8869 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
8870 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
8871 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
8872 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
8873 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
8874 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
8875 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
8876 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
8877 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
8878 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
8879 [Steve Henson]
8880
8881 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
8882 [Steve Henson]
8883
8884 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
8885 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
8886 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
8887 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
8888 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
8889 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
8890 single self signed certificate. This means that:
8891 openssl verify ss.pem
8892 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
8893 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
8894 is OK.
8895 [Steve Henson]
8896
8897 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
8898 (and add it to external session representation).
8899 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
8900 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
8901 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
8902 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
8903 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
8904 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
8905 security holes.
8906 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
8907
8908 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
8909 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
8910 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
8911 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
8912
8913 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
8914 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
8915 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
8916 [Steve Henson]
8917
8918 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
8919 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
8920 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
8921 code.
8922 [Steve Henson]
8923
8924 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
8925 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
8926 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
8927
8928 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
8929 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
8930 certificate auxiliary information.
8931 [Steve Henson]
8932
8933 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
8934 the 'enc' command.
8935 [Steve Henson]
8936
8937 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
8938 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
8939 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
8940 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
8941 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
8942 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
8943 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
8944 [Richard Levitte]
8945
8946 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
8947 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
8948 [Steve Henson]
8949
8950 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
8951 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
8952 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
8953 manpages and fix a few bugs.
8954 [Steve Henson]
8955
8956 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
8957 [Steve Henson]
8958
8959 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
8960 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
8961 [Steve Henson]
8962
8963 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
8964 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
8965 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
8966 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
8967 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
8968 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
8969 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
8970 using the new 'x509' options.
8971
8972 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
8973 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
8974 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
8975 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
8976 for all purposes.
8977 [Steve Henson]
8978
8979 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
8980 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
8981 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
8982 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
8983 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
8984 [Mark Cox]
8985
8986 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
8987 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
8988 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
8989 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
8990 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
8991 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
8992 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
8993 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
8994 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
8995 the key length and effective key length are equal.
8996 [Steve Henson]
8997
8998 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
8999 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
9000 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
9001 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
9002 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
9003 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
9004 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
9005 [Steve Henson]
9006
9007 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
9008 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
9009 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
9010 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
9011 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
9012 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
9013 openssl.cnf for more info.
9014 [Steve Henson]
9015
9016 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
9017 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
9018 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
9019 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
9020 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
9021 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
9022 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
9023 md should be large enough anyway.
9024 [Bodo Moeller]
9025
9026 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
9027 for handling the random seed file.
9028
9029 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
9030 ca,
9031 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
9032 s_client,
9033 s_server,
9034 x509 (when signing).
9035 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
9036 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
9037 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
9038
9039 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
9040 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
9041 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
9042 that support '-rand'.
9043 [Bodo Moeller]
9044
9045 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
9046 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
9047 [Bodo Moeller]
9048
9049 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
9050 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
9051 [Bill Perry]
9052
9053 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
9054 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
9055 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
9056 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
9057 is suitable.
9058 [Steve Henson]
9059
9060 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
9061 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
9062 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
9063 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
9064 [Steve Henson]
9065
9066 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
9067 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
9068 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
9069 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
9070 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
9071 print out all the purposes.
9072 [Steve Henson]
9073
9074 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
9075 functions.
9076 [Steve Henson]
9077
9078 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
9079 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
9080 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
9081 single function call.
9082 [Steve Henson]
9083
9084 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
9085 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
9086 [Andy Polyakov]
9087
9088 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
9089 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
9090 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
9091 [Steve Henson]
9092
9093 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
9094 when producing the local key id.
9095 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9096
9097 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
9098 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
9099 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
9100 "server.pem".
9101 [Steve Henson]
9102
9103 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
9104 a public key to be input or output. For example:
9105 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
9106 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
9107 [Steve Henson]
9108
9109 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
9110 in the message. This was handled by allowing
9111 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
9112 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
9113
9114 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
9115 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
9116 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
9117 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9118
9119 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
9120 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
9121 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
9122 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
9123 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
9124 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
9125 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
9126 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
9127 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
9128 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
9129 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
9130 trivial: move one line.
9131 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
9132
9133 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
9134 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
9135 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
9136 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
9137 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
9138 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
9139 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
9140 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
9141 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
9142 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
9143 with an event loop for example.
9144 [Steve Henson]
9145
9146 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
9147 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
9148 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
9149 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
9150 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
9151 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
9152 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
9153 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
9154 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
9155 [Steve Henson]
9156
9157 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
9158 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
9159 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
9160 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
9161 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
9162 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
9163 [Steve Henson]
9164
9165 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
9166 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
9167 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
9168 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
9169
9170 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
9171 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
9172 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
9173 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
9174 key generation.
9175 [Steve Henson]
9176
9177 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
9178 (still largely untested)
9179 [Bodo Moeller]
9180
9181 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
9182 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
9183 [Steve Henson]
9184
9185 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
9186 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
9187 [Steve Henson]
9188
9189 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
9190 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
9191 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
9192 [Bodo Moeller]
9193
9194 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
9195 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
9196 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
9197 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
9198 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
9199 [Steve Henson]
9200
9201 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
9202 [Andy Polyakov]
9203
9204 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
9205 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
9206 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
9207 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
9208 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
9209 in ca.
9210 [Steve Henson]
9211
9212 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
9213 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
9214 1.OU="Unit name 1"
9215 2.OU="Unit name 2"
9216 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
9217 [Steve Henson]
9218
9219 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
9220 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
9221 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
9222 are otherwise ignored at present.
9223 [Steve Henson]
9224
9225 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
9226 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
9227 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
9228 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
9229 copied until the next read.
9230 [Steve Henson]
9231
9232 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
9233 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
9234 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
9235 [Steve Henson]
9236
9237 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
9238 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
9239 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
9240 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
9241 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
9242 associated functions.
9243 [Steve Henson]
9244
9245 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
9246 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
9247 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
9248 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
9249 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
9250 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
9251 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
9252 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
9253 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
9254 memory BIOs.
9255 [Steve Henson]
9256
9257 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
9258 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
9259 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
9260 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
9261 [Bodo Moeller]
9262
9263 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
9264 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
9265 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
9266 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
9267 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
9268 functionality.
9269 [Steve Henson]
9270
9271 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
9272 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
9273 under Win32.
9274 [Steve Henson]
9275
9276 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
9277 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
9278 extensions to be obtained and added.
9279 [Steve Henson]
9280
9281 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
9282 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
9283 [Bodo Moeller]
9284
9285 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
9286
9287 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9288 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9289
9290 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
9291 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
9292
9293 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
9294 program.
9295 [Steve Henson]
9296
9297 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
9298 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
9299 DH parameters contain its length).
9300
9301 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
9302 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
9303 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
9304 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
9305 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
9306 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
9307 utter importance to use
9308 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9309 or
9310 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9311 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
9312 attacks may become possible!
9313 [Bodo Moeller]
9314
9315 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
9316 [Bodo Moeller]
9317
9318 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
9319 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
9320 [Steve Henson]
9321
9322 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
9323 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
9324 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
9325 or long name.
9326 [Steve Henson]
9327
9328 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
9329 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
9330 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
9331 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
9332 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
9333 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
9334 private key operations.
9335 [Steve Henson]
9336
9337 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
9338 [Andy Polyakov]
9339
9340 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
9341 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
9342 to
9343 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
9344 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
9345 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
9346 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
9347 the password callback is called.
9348 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
9349
9350 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
9351
9352 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
9353 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
9354 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
9355 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
9356 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
9357 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
9358 this will work.
9359
9360 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
9361 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
9362 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
9363 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
9364 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
9365 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
9366 [Bodo Moeller]
9367
9368 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
9369 [Andy Polyakov]
9370
9371 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
9372 delete an unused file.
9373 [Ulf Möller]
9374
9375 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
9376 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
9377 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
9378 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
9379 [Steve Henson]
9380
9381 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
9382 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
9383 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
9384 of an error.
9385 [Bodo Moeller]
9386
9387 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
9388 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
9389 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9390
9391 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
9392 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
9393 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
9394 comparison" warnings.
9395 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
9396 [Steve Henson]
9397
9398 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
9399 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
9400 derived keys are printed to stderr.
9401 [Steve Henson]
9402
9403 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
9404 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
9405
9406 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
9407 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
9408
9409 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
9410 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
9411 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
9412
9413 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
9414 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
9415 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
9416 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
9417 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
9418 this bug.
9419 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
9420
9421 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
9422 The interface is as follows:
9423 Applications can use
9424 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
9425 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
9426 "off" is now the default.
9427 The library internally uses
9428 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
9429 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
9430 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
9431
9432 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
9433 even the default) are now avoided.
9434
9435 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
9436 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
9437 than just having a counter.
9438
9439 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
9440
9441 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
9442 extensions.
9443 [Bodo Moeller]
9444
9445 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
9446 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
9447 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
9448 Initial "mode" flags are:
9449
9450 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
9451 a single record has been written.
9452 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
9453 retries use the same buffer location.
9454 (But all of the contents must be
9455 copied!)
9456 [Bodo Moeller]
9457
9458 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
9459 worked.
9460
9461 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
9462 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
9463
9464 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
9465 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
9466 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
9467 [Steve Henson]
9468
9469 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
9470 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
9471 test programs.
9472 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
9473
9474 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
9475 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
9476 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
9477 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
9478 point to the end.
9479 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
9480 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
9481
9482 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
9483 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
9484 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
9485 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
9486 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
9487 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
9488 [Steve Henson]
9489
9490 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
9491 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
9492 necessary function names.
9493 [Steve Henson]
9494
9495 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
9496 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
9497 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
9498 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
9499 [Bodo Moeller]
9500
9501 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
9502 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
9503 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
9504 [Steve Henson]
9505
9506 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
9507 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
9508 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
9509 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
9510 such programs?)
9511 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
9512 need locks.
9513 [Bodo Moeller]
9514
9515 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
9516 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
9517 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
9518 [Bodo Moeller]
9519
9520 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
9521 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
9522 appropriate.
9523 [Bodo Moeller]
9524
9525 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
9526 for the encoded length.
9527 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
9528
9529 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
9530 [Steve Henson]
9531
9532 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
9533 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
9534 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
9535 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
9536 [Steve Henson]
9537
9538 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
9539 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
9540 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9541
9542 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
9543 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
9544 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
9545 unusual formatting.
9546 [Steve Henson]
9547
9548 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
9549 to use the new extension code.
9550 [Steve Henson]
9551
9552 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
9553 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
9554 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
9555 constant.
9556 [Steve Henson]
9557
9558 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
9559 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
9560 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
9561 [Bodo Moeller]
9562
9563 #if 0
9564 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
9565 [Ben Laurie]
9566 #else
9567 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
9568 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
9569 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
9570 #endif
9571
9572 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
9573 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
9574 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
9575 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
9576 [Ben Laurie]
9577
9578 *) DES library cleanups.
9579 [Ulf Möller]
9580
9581 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
9582 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
9583 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
9584 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
9585 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
9586 of v2.0.
9587 [Steve Henson]
9588
9589 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
9590 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
9591 [Bodo Moeller]
9592
9593 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
9594 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
9595 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
9596 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
9597 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
9598 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
9599 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
9600 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
9601 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
9602 [Steve Henson]
9603
9604 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
9605 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
9606 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
9607 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
9608 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
9609 value doesn't matter.
9610 [Steve Henson]
9611
9612 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
9613 support mutable.
9614 [Ben Laurie]
9615
9616 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
9617 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
9618 "linux-sparc" configuration.
9619 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
9620
9621 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
9622 [Ulf Möller]
9623
9624 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
9625 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
9626 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9627
9628 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
9629 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9630
9631 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
9632 [Ben Laurie]
9633
9634 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
9635 [Ben Laurie]
9636
9637 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
9638 [Ben Laurie]
9639
9640 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
9641 [Bodo Moeller]
9642
9643
9644 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
9645
9646 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
9647
9648 *) Updated some demos.
9649 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
9650
9651 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
9652 [Wu Zhigang]
9653
9654 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
9655 [Steve Henson]
9656
9657 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
9658 [Steve Henson]
9659
9660 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
9661 instead of using a fixed path.
9662 [Bodo Moeller]
9663
9664 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
9665 [Andy Polyakov]
9666
9667 *) Improvements for VMS support.
9668 [Richard Levitte]
9669
9670
9671 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
9672
9673 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
9674 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
9675 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9676
9677 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
9678 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
9679 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
9680 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
9681 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
9682 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
9683 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
9684 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
9685 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
9686 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
9687 [Steve Henson]
9688
9689 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
9690 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
9691 [Steve Henson]
9692
9693 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
9694 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
9695 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
9696 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
9697 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
9698
9699 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
9700 [Bodo Moeller]
9701
9702 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
9703 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
9704 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
9705 [Steve Henson]
9706
9707 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
9708 [Ben Laurie]
9709
9710 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
9711 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
9712 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
9713 key elements as negative integers.
9714 [Steve Henson]
9715
9716 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
9717 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9718
9719 *) VMS support.
9720 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
9721
9722 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
9723 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
9724 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
9725 [Steve Henson]
9726
9727 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
9728 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
9729 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
9730 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
9731 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
9732 [Bodo Moeller]
9733
9734 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
9735 [Ulf Möller]
9736
9737 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
9738 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
9739 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
9740 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9741
9742 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
9743 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
9744 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
9745
9746 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
9747 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
9748 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
9749 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
9750 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
9751 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
9752 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
9753 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
9754 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
9755
9756 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
9757 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
9758 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
9759 does not influence s as it used to.
9760
9761 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
9762 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
9763 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
9764 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
9765 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
9766 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
9767 [Bodo Moeller]
9768
9769 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
9770 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
9771 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
9772 key type.
9773 [Steve Henson]
9774
9775 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
9776 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
9777 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
9778 and 'x509').
9779 [Steve Henson]
9780
9781 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
9782 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
9783 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
9784 extension option.
9785 [Steve Henson]
9786
9787 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
9788 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
9789 [Ben Laurie]
9790
9791 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
9792 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9793
9794 *) Support Mingw32.
9795 [Ulf Möller]
9796
9797 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
9798 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9799
9800 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
9801 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9802
9803 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
9804 [Ulf Möller]
9805
9806 *) Update HPUX configuration.
9807 [Anonymous]
9808
9809 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
9810 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9811
9812 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
9813 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
9814 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
9815 DER-encoded.)
9816 [Bodo Moeller]
9817
9818 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
9819 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
9820 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
9821 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
9822 now it really counts the depth.
9823 [Bodo Moeller]
9824
9825 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
9826 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
9827 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
9828 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
9829 didn't match the private key).
9830
9831 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
9832 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
9833 connection using the SSL_CTX).
9834 [Bodo Moeller]
9835
9836 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
9837 [Ulf Möller]
9838
9839 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
9840 David Harris.
9841 [Bodo Moeller]
9842
9843 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
9844 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
9845 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
9846 [Bodo Moeller]
9847
9848 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
9849 [Bodo Moeller]
9850
9851 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
9852 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
9853 such as /usr/local/bin.
9854 [Bodo Moeller]
9855
9856 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
9857 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9858
9859 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
9860 [Ulf Möller]
9861
9862 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
9863 extension adding in x509 utility.
9864 [Steve Henson]
9865
9866 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
9867 [Ulf Möller]
9868
9869 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
9870 prototypes.
9871 [Steve Henson]
9872
9873 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
9874 [Ulf Möller]
9875
9876 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
9877 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
9878 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
9879 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
9880 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
9881 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
9882 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
9883 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
9884 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
9885 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
9886 [Steve Henson]
9887
9888 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
9889 [Bodo Moeller]
9890
9891 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
9892 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
9893 [Bodo Moeller]
9894
9895 *) Fix some race conditions.
9896 [Bodo Moeller]
9897
9898 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
9899 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
9900 [Steve Henson]
9901
9902 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
9903 [Ulf Möller]
9904
9905 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
9906 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
9907 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
9908 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
9909
9910 *) Fix lots of warnings.
9911 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9912
9913 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
9914 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
9915 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9916
9917 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
9918 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9919
9920 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
9921 [Ulf Möller]
9922
9923 *) Fix typos in error codes.
9924 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
9925
9926 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
9927 [Ulf Möller]
9928
9929 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
9930 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9931
9932 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
9933 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
9934 [Steve Henson]
9935
9936 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
9937 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
9938 [Ben Laurie]
9939
9940 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
9941 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
9942 [Steve Henson]
9943
9944 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
9945 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
9946 [Steve Henson]
9947
9948 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
9949 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
9950 [Steve Henson]
9951
9952 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
9953 support typesafe stack.
9954 [Steve Henson]
9955
9956 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
9957 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
9958
9959 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
9960 old X509V3 handling code.
9961 [Steve Henson]
9962
9963 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
9964 [Ulf Möller]
9965
9966 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
9967 [Bodo Moeller]
9968
9969 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
9970 [Ben Laurie]
9971
9972 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
9973 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
9974
9975 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
9976 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
9977 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
9978 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
9979 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
9980 [Ben Laurie]
9981
9982 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
9983 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
9984 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
9985 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
9986 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
9987
9988 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
9989 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
9990 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
9991 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9992
9993 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
9994 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
9995 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
9996 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9997
9998 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
9999 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
10000 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
10001 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
10002 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
10003 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
10004 [Bodo Moeller]
10005
10006 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
10007 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
10008 [Bodo Moeller]
10009
10010 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
10011 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
10012 [Ulf Möller]
10013
10014 *) Tweaks to Configure
10015 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
10016
10017 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
10018 yet...
10019 [Steve Henson]
10020
10021 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
10022 [Ulf Möller]
10023
10024 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
10025 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
10026 [Ulf Möller]
10027
10028 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
10029 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
10030 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
10031 [Bodo Moeller]
10032
10033 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
10034 [Bodo Moeller]
10035
10036 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
10037 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
10038 [Steve Henson]
10039
10040 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
10041 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
10042 to library startup routines.
10043 [Steve Henson]
10044
10045 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
10046 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
10047 codes along the way.
10048 [Steve Henson]
10049
10050 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
10051 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
10052 objects to objects.h
10053 [Steve Henson]
10054
10055 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
10056 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
10057 [Steve Henson]
10058
10059 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
10060 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
10061
10062 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
10063 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
10064 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
10065
10066 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
10067 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10068 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10069
10070 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
10071 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
10072 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
10073
10074
10075 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
10076
10077 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
10078 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
10079 [Ben Laurie]
10080
10081 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
10082 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
10083 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
10084 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
10085 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
10086
10087 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
10088 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
10089 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
10090 document.
10091 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10092
10093 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
10094 Malloc, Free.
10095 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
10096
10097 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
10098 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10099
10100 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
10101 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
10102 if someone would make that last step automatic.
10103 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
10104
10105 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
10106 [Ben Laurie]
10107
10108 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
10109 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
10110 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
10111 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
10112 [Steve Henson]
10113
10114 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
10115 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
10116 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
10117 [Steve Henson]
10118
10119 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
10120 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
10121 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
10122 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
10123 installed as `perl').
10124 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10125
10126 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
10127 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10128
10129 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
10130 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
10131 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
10132 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
10133 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
10134 [Steve Henson]
10135
10136 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
10137 [Ben Laurie]
10138
10139 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
10140 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
10141 is horrible: I feel ill....
10142 [Steve Henson]
10143
10144 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
10145 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
10146 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
10147 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
10148 [Steve Henson]
10149
10150 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
10151 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10152
10153 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
10154 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
10155 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
10156 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10157
10158 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
10159 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
10160 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
10161 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
10162 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
10163 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
10164 openssl_bio.xs.
10165 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10166
10167 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
10168 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10169
10170 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
10171 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
10172
10173 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
10174 [Ben Laurie]
10175
10176 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
10177 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
10178 in CRLs.
10179 [Steve Henson]
10180
10181 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
10182 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
10183 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
10184 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
10185 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
10186 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
10187 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
10188 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
10189 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
10190 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
10191 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10192
10193 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
10194 [Ben Laurie]
10195
10196 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
10197 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
10198 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
10199 for linking it into DSOs.
10200 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10201
10202 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
10203 Fixed.
10204 [Ben Laurie]
10205
10206 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
10207 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
10208 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
10209 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
10210 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
10211 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10212
10213 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
10214 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
10215 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
10216 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
10217 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
10218 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
10219 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10220
10221 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
10222 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
10223 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
10224 encryption.
10225 [Ben Laurie]
10226
10227 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
10228 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
10229 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
10230 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
10231 [Steve Henson]
10232
10233 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
10234 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
10235 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
10236 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
10237 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
10238 field as blank.
10239 [Steve Henson]
10240
10241 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
10242 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
10243 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
10244 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
10245 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10246
10247 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
10248 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
10249 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10250
10251 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
10252 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10253
10254 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
10255 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
10256 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
10257 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
10258 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
10259 [Steve Henson]
10260
10261 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
10262 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
10263 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
10264 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
10265 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
10266 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
10267 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
10268 [Ben Laurie]
10269
10270 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
10271 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
10272 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
10273 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
10274 [Ben Laurie]
10275
10276 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
10277 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
10278
10279 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
10280 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
10281 [Steve Henson]
10282
10283 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
10284 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
10285 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
10286 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
10287 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
10288 (e.g. s_server).
10289 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
10290 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
10291 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
10292 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
10293 no way to reconfigure them.
10294 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
10295 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
10296 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
10297 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
10298 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
10299 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10300
10301 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
10302 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
10303 recognized by the users.
10304 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10305
10306 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
10307 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
10308 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
10309 already masked variable.
10310 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10311
10312 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
10313 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10314
10315 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
10316 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
10317 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
10318 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10319
10320 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
10321 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
10322 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10323
10324 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
10325 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
10326 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
10327 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
10328 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
10329 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
10330 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
10331 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
10332 now, too.
10333 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10334
10335 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
10336 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
10337 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10338
10339 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
10340 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
10341 config file.
10342 [Steve Henson]
10343
10344 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
10345 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10346
10347 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
10348 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
10349 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
10350 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
10351 [Ben Laurie]
10352
10353 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
10354 [Steve Henson]
10355
10356 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
10357 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10358
10359 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
10360 [Ben Laurie]
10361
10362 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
10363 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
10364 [Steve Henson]
10365
10366 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
10367 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
10368 [Steve Henson]
10369
10370 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
10371 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
10372 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
10373 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
10374 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
10375 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
10376 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
10377 Ben Laurie]
10378
10379 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
10380 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10381
10382 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
10383 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
10384 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
10385 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
10386 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10387
10388 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
10389 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
10390 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
10391 [Steve Henson]
10392
10393 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
10394 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
10395 an example.
10396 [Steve Henson]
10397
10398 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
10399 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
10400 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10401
10402 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
10403 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
10404 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
10405 build instructions.
10406 [Steve Henson]
10407
10408 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
10409 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
10410 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
10411 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
10412 [Steve Henson]
10413
10414 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
10415 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
10416 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
10417 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
10418 [Ben Laurie]
10419
10420 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
10421 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
10422 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
10423 so it wasn't spotted.
10424 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
10425
10426 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
10427 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
10428 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
10429 vectors if you have them.
10430 [Ben Laurie]
10431
10432 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
10433 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
10434 [Ben Laurie]
10435
10436 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
10437 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
10438 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
10439 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
10440 If you do a:
10441 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
10442 it will update them.
10443 [Steve Henson]
10444
10445 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
10446 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
10447 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
10448 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
10449 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
10450 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
10451 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
10452 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10453
10454 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
10455 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
10456 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
10457 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
10458 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
10459 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
10460 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
10461 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
10462 the crypto/md/ stuff).
10463 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10464
10465 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
10466 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
10467 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
10468 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
10469 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
10470 [Steve Henson]
10471
10472 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
10473 INTEGER code.
10474 [Steve Henson]
10475
10476 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
10477 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10478
10479 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
10480 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10481
10482 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
10483 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
10484 [Ben Laurie]
10485
10486 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
10487 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
10488
10489 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
10490 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
10491
10492 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
10493 [Steve Henson]
10494
10495 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
10496 few typos.
10497 [Steve Henson]
10498
10499 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
10500 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
10501 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
10502 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10503
10504 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10505 [Steve Henson]
10506
10507 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10508 [Steve Henson]
10509
10510 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
10511 [Steve Henson]
10512
10513 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
10514 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
10515 [Steve Henson]
10516
10517 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
10518 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
10519 CA extensions.
10520 [Steve Henson]
10521
10522 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
10523 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
10524 [Steve Henson]
10525
10526 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
10527 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
10528 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
10529 [Steve Henson]
10530
10531 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
10532 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
10533 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
10534 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
10535 properly to be processed.
10536 [Steve Henson]
10537
10538 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
10539 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
10540 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
10541 [Ben Laurie]
10542
10543 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
10544 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
10545
10546 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
10547 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
10548 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
10549 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
10550 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
10551 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
10552 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
10553 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
10554 or delete all the .err files.
10555 [Steve Henson]
10556
10557 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
10558 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
10559 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
10560 to regenerate it if needed.
10561 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
10562 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
10563
10564 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
10565 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10566
10567 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
10568 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
10569 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
10570 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
10571 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
10572 [Steve Henson]
10573
10574 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
10575 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10576
10577 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
10578 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10579
10580 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
10581 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
10582 error, but didn't set one).
10583 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10584
10585 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
10586 [Ben Laurie]
10587
10588 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
10589 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
10590 [Steve Henson]
10591
10592 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
10593 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
10594
10595 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
10596 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
10597 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
10598 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
10599 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
10600 OID is not part of the table.
10601 [Steve Henson]
10602
10603 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
10604 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
10605 [Ben Laurie]
10606
10607 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
10608 [Ben Laurie]
10609
10610 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
10611 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
10612 was "1234").
10613 [Steve Henson]
10614
10615 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
10616 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
10617
10618 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
10619 NULL pointers.
10620 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10621
10622 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
10623 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10624
10625 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
10626 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10627
10628 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
10629 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10630
10631 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
10632 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
10633 [Ben Laurie]
10634
10635 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
10636 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
10637 [Steve Henson]
10638
10639 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
10640 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10641
10642 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
10643 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10644
10645 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
10646 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10647
10648 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
10649 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10650
10651 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
10652 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
10653 unused in the certificate verification process.
10654 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10655
10656 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
10657 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
10658 [Steve Henson]
10659
10660 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
10661 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
10662 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
10663
10664 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
10665 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
10666 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
10667 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
10668 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
10669
10670 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
10671 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
10672 [Steve Henson]
10673
10674 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
10675 [Steve Henson]
10676
10677 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
10678 [Paul Sutton]
10679
10680 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
10681 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
10682
10683 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
10684 [Ben Laurie]
10685
10686 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
10687 [Ben Laurie]
10688
10689 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
10690 [Ben Laurie]
10691
10692 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
10693 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
10694 other error libraries.
10695 [Steve Henson]
10696
10697 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
10698 [Steve Henson]
10699
10700 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
10701 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
10702 be read in.
10703 [Steve Henson]
10704
10705 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
10706 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
10707 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
10708 the new set of documentation files.
10709 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10710
10711 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
10712 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
10713 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
10714 number of arguments.
10715 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
10716
10717 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
10718 [Ben Laurie]
10719
10720 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
10721 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
10722 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10723
10724 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
10725 [Ben Laurie]
10726
10727 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
10728 nextstep
10729 ncr-scde
10730 unixware-2.0
10731 unixware-2.0-pentium
10732 sco5-cc.
10733 [Ben Laurie]
10734
10735 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
10736 before they are needed.
10737 [Ben Laurie]
10738
10739 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
10740 [Ben Laurie]
10741
10742
10743 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
10744
10745 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
10746 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
10747 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10748
10749 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
10750 [Paul Sutton]
10751
10752 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
10753 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
10754 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10755
10756 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
10757 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
10758 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
10759
10760 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
10761 when "ssleay" is still not found.
10762 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10763
10764 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
10765 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
10766
10767 *) Updated the README file.
10768 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10769
10770 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
10771 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
10772 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10773
10774 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
10775 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
10776 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10777
10778 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
10779 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
10780 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
10781 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
10782 o removed obsolete TODO file
10783 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
10784 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10785
10786 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
10787 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
10788 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
10789 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
10790 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
10791 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
10792 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10793
10794 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
10795 [Mark J. Cox]
10796
10797 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
10798 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
10799 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
10800 summer 1998.
10801 [The OpenSSL Project]
10802
10803
10804 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
10805
10806 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
10807 [Eric A. Young]
10808
10809 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
10810 [Eric A. Young]
10811
10812 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
10813 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
10814 [Eric A. Young]
10815
10816 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
10817 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
10818 available).
10819 [Eric A. Young]
10820
10821 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
10822 binary structures
10823 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
10824
10825 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
10826 [Eric A. Young]
10827
10828 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
10829 [Eric A. Young]
10830
10831 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
10832 [Eric A. Young]
10833
10834 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
10835 [Eric A. Young]
10836
10837 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
10838 [Eric A. Young]
10839
10840 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
10841 [Eric A. Young]
10842
10843 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
10844 [Eric A. Young]
10845
10846 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
10847 [Eric A. Young]
10848
10849 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
10850 [Eric A. Young]
10851
10852 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
10853 [Eric A. Young]
10854
10855 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
10856 [Eric A. Young]
10857
10858 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
10859 [Eric A. Young]
10860
10861 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
10862 [Eric A. Young]
10863
10864 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
10865 [Eric A. Young]
10866
10867 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
10868 [Eric A. Young]
10869
10870 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
10871 [Eric A. Young]
10872
10873 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
10874 [Eric A. Young]
10875
10876 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
10877 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
10878 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
10879 [Eric A. Young]
10880
10881 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
10882 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
10883 [Eric A. Young]
10884
10885 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
10886 [Eric A. Young]
10887
10888 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
10889 [Eric A. Young]
10890
10891 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
10892 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
10893 [Eric A. Young]
10894
10895 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
10896 [Eric A. Young]
10897
10898 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
10899 [Eric A. Young]
10900
10901 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
10902 bytes sent in the client random.
10903 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
10904
